Just got my second hand P8 from eBay. Someone told me the camera functions will not be working properly if I upgrade from 3.1 to 4.5 . Is this true ?
Please kindly advise.

You mean from EMUI 3.1( Lollipop) to EMUI 4.0( Marshmallow)?. EMUI 4.0 is way better in all aspects especially the camera which you get to have a manual mode. So go a head and update and don't listen to that someone.
battery is considerably worse for me on android 6/emui 4.0, if i were to be more precise i'd say about 30% worse compared to android 5/emui 3.1, the new emui fixed some bugs and introduced others, the UI is however a lot smoother on the new emui, transitions are a pleasure to look at, i rolled back to 5 though, battery life is most important to me
thanks for your feedback and I will stick around with Android Version 5

Battery is not worse!
battery is noticable better in marshmallow, overall experience is smoother and faster, but im pissed of about music pausing when screen locked, it just hibernate stock or any music player even if i allowed it in battery optimalization, Huawei never again
b317 has bad battery life and it's a bit slower
i just updated to b321, it's way better,good battery life,it feels faster.
http://imgur.com/l5KWKvQ - from ~75% to 30% 2h41min SOT with auto brightness,wi-fi and cellular data always on,sometimes even location services and a bit of gaming....on b317 i was doing ~2h30min from 100% to 10% and i was trying hard to do this.
In Antutu i get 49915 on b321,on b317 i did ~25k

This is a bug i think with the current marshmallow rom, use Light Manger app for the apps that you don't get notification for or for all apps.

It depends on you, i personally like Marshmallow everything works fine and better than Lollipop in all aspects, regarding the led notification you can try the app i suggested earlier, also the camera app is better on Marshmallow especially with the pro mode.

Hello together,
my Elephone S7 arrived yesterday and iam very happy with it except the touch behavior. As many Elephones before my S7 has also the pixel-skipping problem. The touchscreen is very inaccurate and when you scroll slowly there will be continuously micro stuttering and pixel-skipping.
My Phoneversion: Black / 4Gb / 64Gb - Firmware: Elephone_S7_97_20161123
The Elephone P6000 had the same kind of touch behavoir problem. It could be solved with a software-fix. (TP-Fix)
Link to the guy who fixed it: http://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2377#.WD6BWYVFyUn
May somebody is able to locate the problem on S7 and write a similar fix. I hope there is no hardware limitation.
so far.
I have the same S7 model & firmware, but have not noticed the issue you mention.
Seems fairly usable and could not see noticable stuttering..
I have removed the screen protector though, maybe its a factor ?
If you have a look at the following post I think this issue has/is being addressed in a future firmware update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69783518&postcount=30
I dont say that the device is unusable but the stuttering on slow and short scrolling is still there. Especially when you adjust an slider or anything Else.
As reported in the opening post Iam on the lastet firmware 20161123.

I reply a report when i get some infos from the vendor.

Thanks for the info Lars
Good to see Elephone are constantly working on improving things, hope this continues until things are perfect.
I recall reading that Elephone will keep providing firmware updates for 1 year after the devices release date, let's hope they keep this promise. Also looking forward to Android 7.X although probably won't be for a while yet.

Hi
Yeah they have a super service Elephone ,just press icon on homescreen and write a suggestion or quistion or use link to official forum that contains official rom's and users own custom rom .. Pretty cool ..
By the way ,runs like a charm with latest update.
Very fast and so good it's camera..
Bricked it yesterday when rooting it this 6.0 is tricky but im pretty stubborn ...
Well now i has a new kernel update .. Looking forward to next update so i can have my smooth running phone back ..
Hey guys. I received my s7 yesterday. Out of the box I immediately did an update to 1212 Firmware via OTA. For me the pixel skipping bug is still here and for me this is pretty annoying!
Checking with MTK Engineering mode you can see that your finger movement is only recognised every 15-25 pixels.-no matter if you move in x direction or in y direction.
Do you think this can be really fixed by a Software Update? If this is hardware related I will immediately send back this thing!
It's not the only bug. Touch seems laggy in general. There seem to be a lot more. e.g. GPS, SIM 1 deactivation while connecting to car stereo via Bluetooth and so on.
I"m pretty disappointed by the s7 right now....
elephone s7 touch problem
youtu.be/WvHqSy3kIoM
Yes same problem !
It's a shame. I did have the same problem on my Nook color tablet, a touch driver firmware fixed the thing.

I hope Elephon is on the verge to fix this.
Hi everyone !
I did receive a new update firmware, a small one (83 MB) from the 01/09 and it fixed the laggy screentouch problem ! It's now perfectly smooth, at pixel scale ! Great news !!
Hi MO5.COM, thanks for the good news. I cant wait to update to newest version. Still waiting for it because the buildtin OTA update agent actual offers me no update.

If someone knows where it downloads the new firmware (i tried to find it, no success) i can download it here !
Something strange, i needed to format the smartphone as new with the 20161219 firmware and not log into Google to apply this new small one. A bit strange.
It is November 1 security patch. It is a 157.75MB download. The update brings us to version N950USQS2BQK2.
Just got it about 20 minutes ago.
Here is the current update details:
Android 7.1.1 Nougat
The details
Release date: December 4, 2017
Android version: 7.1.1
Security patch level (SPL): November 1, 2017
Baseband version: N950USQS2BQK2
Kernel version: 4.4.21-12461033
Build number: NMF26X.N950USQS2BQK2
Build fingerprint: 7.1.1/NMF26X/N950USQS2BQK2
Previous versions required: N950USQU2BQJA
File size: 157MB
The updates
What's changing: Android device security updates, including BlueBorne fix (on SPLs September 1 or later)
Just got my alert for it too. But I have learned, the hard way, to wait for others to go first.
Just make sure you uninstall any Substratum themes before you take the update.
Also ALWAYS have a good reliable connection. Bad service is the number one way an OTA gets botched up. It fragments the download and can cause all sorts of wonky stuff.
Just did the download myself. Installed fine. No issues.
Camera has a new live focus helper... Seems a bit useless, but I guess if people were having big issues with it then it might be helpful.
Also just for anyone who is interested

I updated about an hour ago without issue, but I had that camera feature before today. It appeared after I did a factory reset about two weeks ago.
Anyone know if this had the KRACK fix in it? Verizon's got this in their update along with the Nov Sec update and Live Focus update, just last week .
I've had a issue with the gallery since the update before this one. When scrolling through it randomly jumps back up or is almost unresponsive to my touches. The only way to scroll smoothly is by using the blue scroll button on the side. It's incredibly frustrating! I've done a factory reset and and it still occurs, even after this update.
It only occurs in the gallery app btw

In the settings menu of the Gallery app, are the first two settings turned on? I think this happened on mine a while back (although I'm not sure I'm remembering correctly) and I turned off the Samsung cloud sync and image analysis and it stopped. If this doesn't work, I must be thinking of something else. Sorry.
Edit: I have all the options in settings turned off and my gallery seems ti be working smoothly.
Faceunlock still broken for me with exchange EAS
No update for me yet. Anyone else still yet to receive?

I found that after updating to android oreo 8.0 pictures are being a bit blur and it delays in autofocus on camera. Any solution about it?
same problem
I got the same problem.
I have P10+ VKY-L29C432 rebranded from VKY-AL00.
After update to Oreo - firmware version 8.0.0.360. Autofocus became unstable: after opening camera application, I got perfectly focused picture. But after a half of a second, autofocus begins to adjust. Sometimes this leads to a blurry picture, but usually it just leads to lose of time (and scene).
I went to Huawei service center. They told me, that it would be fixed in ongoing updates, and that this is already known problem.
Today I received 8.0.0.365 update, but the problem is still here.
same problem )
because Oreo is not yet stable version too much bug Oreo issues and i have Nougat B177 is perfect 100% never any issues
I just received 8.0.0.369 for l29c432 through FF by team MT
I confirm, that autofocus bug has gone .
and with this update Huawei added face unlock feature
