prospective buyer

I have heard the muffled sound issue. What is the deal breaker for me is the On-Screen nav bar.

Any option to remove it and use the HW bezel below it or it will stay that way ?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] itsnotmeatall:
Yeah, if you put your hand over the speaker it does get muffled. Also if you put it down on a flat surface, but not so much you cannot hear. But you will anyway have to get a case for this phone (since the back is scratch-prone) and the slight space that the speaker cutout gives should take care of the problem.

I think you can use the CyanogenMod Pie-Control kind of semi-circular nav bar which only comes on if you swipe in from the sides.

This would involve some tinkering, though if you are coming from Defy you will be used to that!!;)

Or there is this, a new fangled thing where the screen film has navigation buttons: (I have no idea how well this works, I came across it in Gizchina's Honor 6 review)

This device has no in-built hardware buttons, though.

Nillkin Fresh Series Leather Flip Stand Bumper Back Case Cover With Auto Smart Wake Up Sleep Function For Huawei Honor 6 on amazon

What's the deal with this auto smart wake up? the original huawei flip cover are not in stock
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] warea:
Do you guys have your device clocked to 2Ghz as advertised on flipkart ? Because that seems to be a mistake.

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

The on screen navigation bar looks ugly/outdated on Emui2.3 . But on Emui3.0 (which you must use, as Emui2.3 is totally crap compared to that), its awesome and plus you get extra tools to switch the navigation button around (left to right / right to left) and additional button on the bar to bring down the notification/shortcut panel so that you can use with one hand without needing to swipe it all the way from top.

But if your more worried about wanting full screen space then couple of options. One is availability of a floating suspend button where you can use all navigation buttons with that floating button. You have option to hide the navigation bottom bar, and so you can just hide and use that floating buttons. The other option is that sticker thing, but you have to get hold of that sticker. Its not working without that as far as i see. And yes the initial reviews show that sticker trick might not be as responsive (as seen on videos on youtube). But have to wait and see the official release of it if that clears out.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] itsnotmeatall:
I think it just means that the phone wakes up when you flip the cover open, and screen goes off when you flip the cover closed.

---------

Yeah, its a mistake, because just below where it says 2.0 Ghz it says this:

How exactly are you guys getting this 3.0 update? Because when I go to the update option it says no updates are available. If its a beta does that mean you have to unlock bootloader and root first, right? But the unlock bootloader dropdown list on the emui.com website does not (yet) include the H60-L04 model.

Thanks! I just discovered that option in Settings>Smart Assistance>Suspend Button. But how do you hide the bottom bar?:confused:
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] warea:
Yea the Emui3.0 for L04 model is not out yet. You guys have to push Huawei to release it quicker. I don't know how compatible the L02 rom might be for yours as the L04 models has single sim and additional LTE bands compared to L02.

And once its out you don't have unlock bootloader or anything. You either get OTA update or download the rom and install it using the stock rom update software available in settings menu.

In settings there should be a "navigation bar" menu, and when you turn it on, you get a arrow on the left corner of the navigation bar. When you hit that arrow it hides, and when you swipe up from bottom of screen, it comes back up.

Is there a way to ship the L04 to Europe?

Flipkart does not ship out of India, though they do take payments from outside India(!).

[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] silvershine27:
Hello to everyone.

I received my honor 6 two days back and since I have been trying to get used to it. Pretty good phone I must say. Today I found out some problems with my phone, hence I would like you guys to please confirm the same.

1.) Battery backup is average for me taking into account multiple replies to this topic by other users and reviews on flipkart that they are getting almost 12 hrs battery backup with med-high usage (gaming like real racing 3, asphalt 8 for 2hrs, wifi on full time, screen on time = 4 -5 hrs and occasional whatsapp and calls). In this scenario I'm getting around 6-7 hrs of backup only. Not to mention the screen brightness is on full. Also I have completed 3 full battery charging and discharging cycles. So is my phone faulty or it is okay?

2.) I played real racing 3 for around 30 minutes and the phone got quite hot. Checked battery temp and it was showing 46 degrees. Is this normal? Infact the front of the phone (screen) was as hot as the back.

3.) Strange noise is coming from the top of the phone (near the camera area) when you place your phone in one hand on your palm and just tap on the back with one finger of your other hand near the camera area. Place your ears quite close for checking if in a crowded place as the sound is more audible in a silent room. Check by tapping around the bottom and top for difference. Sounds like something is loose inside near the camera. Please confirm this also.

I will have to ask for a replacement if these are only related to my phone.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] itsnotmeatall:
1. I easily get backup of 18-24 hours. This is with 15-20 min of graphic-intensive games (Currently Frontline Commando D-Day and Respawnables), 1 hour of The Room (puzzle game), 3-4 calls per day, whatsapp always on, 2-3 hours of surfing and reading books. I also use quite a bit of Google Cardboard apps, even that does not affect the battery life.

2. I did not notice any abnormal heating in the phone. The front heating up is very unusual

3. No such sound in my phone.

Yeah, I think you might have a faulty unit.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] sam_code4u:
1. Yes, it will give you around 6-7 hours of battery backup with full brightness and more than 2:30 hrs screen on time. You can greatly reduce it by manually setting the screen brightness according to your surroundings. and kill all the apps when not in use. + remove all the apps from protected. Make sure your GPS, and auto rotation is turned on. Also, you should rely on WiFi rather than mobile data for internet.

2. The device heats up a bit with continuous gameplay, but yeah it cools down pretty fast. I don't think it's a huge issue because most of the phone would heat up when playing resource intensive games.

3. There are no noise at the top of the phone. But, yeah you can hear a weird buzz or something if you tap near the camera at the back. It's like there is some module which is just placed there and not screwed. It might be some component which needs to be placed without any screws to allow it movements. I am not sure.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] silvershine27:
Thanks for all your replies guys.

Battery since last 6 hrs have been good on me so I guess I will get more out of it. My battery stats show 6 hrs 5 mins from 75% to 44% as of now. Maybe before I was actually using the phone very heavily. If I compare it to my galaxy tab 2 battery backup then I was getting almost double backup on honor 6 as I only used to get around 4 hrs on tab 2 on the same usage stats as I posted earlier.

Secondly and surprisingly I played the same game for another 30 mins after a good cool down period and this time it did'nt get that hot. Temperature showed 41 degrees only.

And yes, I'm talking about the same buzzing sound. Is it something of a concern? Maybe its the vibrator module that's moving with each tap on the back? (as its the only thing that I can think of that has moving parts). Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] silvershine27:
Actually it doesn't matter how you hold the phone, you do like tap tap tap tap on the back slowly starting from the bottom, moving gradually to the top and near the camera and then you hear the slight difference in the feedback of the taps in terms of that buzzing sound. Becomes slightly audible at the power button level on the back and more prominent near the camera. Its even audible from around 1-2 feet away from your face.

EMUI 3.0

Guys does somebody have emui 3.0 review video or some review online?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] sam_code4u:
1. It was exactly the same for me. On the first day it only lasted about 6 hours with 100% battery juice. I think our devices components needs a little work out before it taps out the full potential. It burns out the components to make it more friction free or something. First few usage is rough like any other mechanical motor and then it goes all smooth after few rounds. lol, I know it sounds a little dramatic. My batter backup is way better now and I am satisfied.

2. Same as 1.

3. I can confirm there is this sound if you tap at the top on the back.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] sunnynayak:
I don't deny that the device has 8 cores. Take a close look at your own screenshot, specifically Clock Speed - 403 MHz - 1.31 GHz is all your device can clock up to.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] sam_code4u:
No. Its not true. Ur device hs 8 cores and 4 of them is clocked at 1.7 ghz. Try antutu benchmark app or some other apps. Not all app will be able to detect the 4 cores with their max frequency because they only utilizes those resources when its required.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] silvershine27:
Well I guess it's not restricted to only my phone then and I guess there is no need for replacement...right? Or should I go ahead with it?

Also had 2 small queries, hope you all can shed some light on these as well:

1.) On first boot straight out of the box, I went to settings to see the available space and mine was 11.5 gb available to the user out of 16gb. So is this what you all got on your first boots? I also did a factory reset after sometime thinking that the available space will increase but in vain.

2.) Again On my first boot and after sometime while setting up the ringtone, I saw two tabs under "Select Ringtone" menu namely - Ringtone and Music.

Under Ringtone tab there were the usual melody/instrumental tones and under Music there were 5-6 vocal songs in mp3 or wav or some music format which I don't know. Now, I had to reset the device to factory settings as said above and after that the tones/songs under the Music tab were all gone. Only the tones under Ringtone tab were there. Don't know why it happened. Maybe anyone of you guys can shed some light on this.

Now I'm pretty sure that those are still there somewhere on the phone memory as the available space didn't increase but I might be wrong. Can you guys please see to it that you have these or not? If you do have please share the location in which these are stored. Actually some of them were pretty good.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] sam_code4u:
No, you are good. Your device is perfectly fine.

The available space is same for me as well. Rest is taken up by Android Operating system and other system applications that comes preinstalled in the device.

and about those ringtones (vocal one), I think it was wiped out when you restored your phone. It is located in Music folder in internal memory.

Hi All,

I have swtiched tiday from Galaxy S5 to Honor 6. My questions are, screenprotector is default installed on the front screen? or only the back?

Is there any custom recovery and kernel, rom for this device? I have the H60-L04 16GB black unlocked....Antutu Benchamrk is max 41xxx, is that normal? The dafult system (ROM) is very slow for me...is there any good settings?

How can I remove the default installed apps and games? Does anybody use NovaLauncher on this device?

I have seen on a website the specification and the included apps, Facebook is default installed? Because I have not found it.... How can I hard reset my phone?

---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

I have armv7 cpu, why?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] itsnotmeatall:
There are no custom kernels or roms for this device yet.

You can get rid of pre-installed apps by rooting -the method I'd given on the first page of this thread. You get cwm recovery during the rooting process. You can also revert to stock recovery later.

As for the screen protectors, it is better to install both front and back since the back is a little scratch prone.

Antutu score of 41K or thereabouts is normal for this phone.

To make phone faster, uninstall un-needed apps, go to Phone Manager app - do a full clean up, and then remove 'protected apps' tik mark for all apps you do not need syncing background data all the time.

There are 4 A7 and 4 A15 cores in the CPU, total of eight.
