anyone here with the chinese version got invited into the 5.1 beta?

I got invited to install B719 5.1 beta, so I assume Huawei is pushing out the 2nd group of testers.

Question.. do any of you notice that Cell Standby is the largest battery user in the battery app?

It is taking around 28-29% for me, with screen coming in second place at around 13.

Yesterday I had almost 4.5 hours screentime and Cell Standby was still at the top of the list. I've been reading on Android Dev Forums that many people are having issues with drain since Lollipop released.

Anyone have this issue? Any suggestions? I still get pretty great battery life, but would like to find out the reason for this..

Oh, and YAY on getting our own forum finally.
[Huawei Ascend P7] jonmorris:
Until Android 5.1 and more likely 5.1.1 there have been untold issues. Memory leakage is a biggie. I was down to under 100MB and the launcher was constantly reloading, which was almost laughable. Couldn't recover the rest of the 2.9GB at all, until rebooting.
[Huawei Ascend P7] vimto25:
Mine is mobile standby it always the highest and says around 27% I don't understand why n what it's doing ... Any help would be much appreciated if this is not normal.

This looks to me so fake .. I hope it won't be like that bcos I ve seen back case and P8 will have fingerprint scanner

But comparing with earlier it matches I think this gonna be something else .. The screen is huge it is not 5.2''

I have NO IDEA
[Huawei Ascend P7] ibeqa:
Maybe it's the screen for the P8 MAX. It has 6.8 display?????
[Huawei Ascend P7] Simona Simmy:
What do you think ?

I think it is alleged 6.8''

Try to compare with 7'' MediaPad X2
[Huawei Ascend P7] kolembo:
I just can't breathe! I still have the P7 in my hands all day, feels so wonderful.

I'm a little anxious - I don't know if they've done enough with the P8 - the Samsung S6 edge rocks... Begrudgingly. It really does.

I don't know if I'm interested anything larger than 5.2 with the P8, In looking for great materials and clean tight design.

Wah. Let's see it.
[Huawei Ascend P7] Simona Simmy:
it can rocks but only STUPID ppl will buy it for that STUPID price !

And it offer so less than Mate 7 or P7

And when P8 release it will crush all phones..
[Huawei Ascend P7] kolembo:
Yeah, that price is way out of control!

Ah.

I too happen to just adore EMUI - there nothing else out there like it. Come on Huawei.... Do the P8!

I need the P8 to rock.

If the rumors are true and P8 does not have Kirin 930 processor .... nobody will upgrade from P7 to P8. If this happen then Huawei have shot themselves in the leg :)

On the other side, maybe the big brother of P8 will have Kirin 930 as it will probably be available latter than P8.

[Huawei Ascend P7] vimto25:
Something wrong with mine then. I wounded I'm forever charging it up lol

I'm on b121 I have checked for updates but nothing... :/
[Huawei Ascend P7] jonmorris:
Download the ROM manually (see a few pages back), copy the uncompressed file to the 'dload' folder on your SD card, run update, go to the menu and select local update, let it do its thing and then see what happens then.

For one, the new Endurance mode and Screen off power save could make a world of difference. I activated both this afternoon but as I was on a train, I was on the phone pretty much the whole time so haven't yet had a proper chance to see how much of an improvement it might be.
[Huawei Ascend P7] vimto25:
Yeah it looks like I'll have to do it manually. So I need to put the zip file in the download folder in the phones storage not my external SD? Cheers. Also does it void warrenty do you no, I'm on gra-l09
[Huawei Ascend P7] jonmorris:
I think you can put it on the internal storage, but it's over 3GB uncompressed and I didn't have the room... so I put it on the SD card and in a folder in root called 'dload', inside that will be file within the zip file you downloaded.

I struggled to get it on to my phone as android file manager on my iMac wouldn't let me copy such a large file (I thought it worked with 4GB files) so I ended up using Airdroid (airdroid.com - well worth having for other things too) to copy it to the SD card and cut and pasting the file. A bit of a faff, but not that hard really. Then load Update, tell it to look locally and it will find it and offer to do the update there and then.

It doesn't wipe any data (and says it won't, for additional reassurance) and then restarts, optimises all your apps again (might take a while) and job done - hopefully!

Good luck!
[Huawei Ascend P7] SnowOokami:
It should not void your warranty, since the phone won't install faulty/non-official software if you got the original bootloader/recovery installed.

Requesting the bootloader unlock code /does/ limit your warranty though.
[Huawei Ascend P7] vimto25:
O right thanks :) good to no!, well I've updated it now to b132 :) is there any noticeable change from b121 anyone?
[Huawei Ascend P7] jonmorris:
Notification access works, plus new power saving options, and a new (I think) drag for exposure in the camera. Otherwise I can't see any changes.
[Huawei Ascend P7] vimto25:
Nice :) have u tried endurance power mode? It's nice to see a few changes, shame huawei are not very fast with updates and this should of been ota
[Huawei Ascend P7] DoobyDroid:
Endurance mode helps if like me on phone all day norm around this time of day im down to 40% im still at 56% so deff helps
[Huawei Ascend P7] jonmorris:
I am wondering if, despite app being protected, Endurance Mode is causing problems with my Pebble smartwatch. Noticing a few times it says it's disconnected and then seeing that the Pebble Time app has exited, and as such I get no weather on the watchface and no alerts.

Could Endurance Mode be overriding the settings and causing problems? I'd rather hope it was simply throttling CPU performance when in use, while the screen off power saver was limiting mobile data access - not axing apps.

Needs some further testing, as it might turn out that Endurance mode or the screen off power saving mode is unusable for me.
[Huawei Ascend P7] scoobydooby:
I think that it is.. in my case when I use any of the power saving modes and I'm listening to Neutron music player, after about 4-5 minutes, the song will just stop playing. If I go back into the phone to check, it appears that the app has been closed.

If I go back and turn off by toggling "power save when screen is off" then the app continues playing.. so it does seem to be killing off stuff while your screen is off, even if the app is on the "protected" list.
[Huawei Ascend P7] jonmorris:
Damn, that's a nasty bug then. Surely the idea is to halt data usage with the screen off, not shut down apps - especially if you whitelisted them!

Oh well, roll on the NEXT update!

Hi,

I've tried this since my last post and cannot in any way get my p8 to update. I have tried downloading to the phone but end up with 346Mb left on storage. I cannot move the file to SD as it is blocked. I downloaded it to my PC, tried moving it to my SD in the phone, device stops responding, tried moving the SD to a card reader, SD not in correct format. Took my SD from my gopro, moved the dload file to that, put it back in the phone, sd will not mount! This is horrendous. Why are they not releasing it OTA when it's on their site??

I have an LG G watch R and need notifications. Can anyone help?

I have ordered an LG G4 at more expense just because this phone is so crap. Never dealing with Huawei ever again. I work in telecommunications industry and should have known better after seeing the mess with their line cards and routers!
[Huawei Ascend P7] jonmorris:
I had no problems creating a folder and copying the ROM to it. Meanwhile if you turn off the screen lock, it will remember the notification settings until you next reboot.
[Huawei Ascend P7] vimto25:
I never had a problem either I downloaded to SD but unziped it to phone storage, first time I tried to update it failed but after doing it again it was successful, still a bit frustrated as to why it isn't ota. Btw I love my huawei p8 :)
[Huawei Ascend P7] daledont:
How do you download direct to SD? If I could do that it would probably work
[Huawei Ascend P7] vimto25:
Go to Settings - storage - default location you have the option for internal or external sd change to external (phone may reboot) then download it again and it should go to SD card
[Huawei Ascend P7] DoobyDroid:
Nice talking all ,, sold mine for a G4
[Huawei Ascend P7] daledont:
So, managed to get the phone to download the update direct to SD, unzipped it, put it in the dload folder on root, checked for update, phone reboots, update fails. Again and again. and again. It offers a site when it fails which is listed in the document in the download. The links are all Chinese. I followed one of them and now have an update from that site for UL00. The phone is from Dubai, is there a possibility that the update on this site is not for my phone (UL00)?

From the document

If upgrading fail, the screen shows as below with the failure cause. For example, the fail in the figure shows that there is a software version control problems, you should firstly upgrade a transfer package provided by R&D.

Will installing the update they advise turn the phone Chinese?

Thanks
[Huawei Ascend P7] beardedwonder:
I managed to upgrade mine today. I had to revert to stock recovery, I unzipped the file on my computer, plugged in the phone and transferred the file via USB. Then used the updater app, had to re-root afterwards.
[Huawei Ascend P7] mayen:
I guess you should use the B141 version, the B132 is for the GRA-L09.

Hi everyone. I am interested in the P8. and I have a few questions.

1-Is the knuckle issue that appeared in the reviews fixed?

2- Is there a way to disable it?

3- How's the battery life?
[Huawei Ascend P7] beardedwonder:
I've had the P8 for nearly 3 weeks and have never had the knuckle issues that I read about. You can disable the knuckle screenshot in settings > smart assistance > more > smart screenshot

I find the battery life pretty great, 32+ hours with over 5 hours screen time. I tend to run 3G (changing to 4G if needed) and I'm connected to wifi most of the day.
[Huawei Ascend P7] scoobydooby:
I can also comment on the battery life being really good. When I know I won't be using my phone like at night, I've put it in ultra power saving.. Currently at 1 day 10hours since charge almost 4 hours on screen time and still 28% left.

That is miles ahead of my old phone that has a smaller screen and a slower, quad core CPU.
[Huawei Ascend P7] MonkeyBadger:
I also think the battery life is good. It hasn't run out on me yet and I usually have 20-30% left when I go to bed and put it on charge having been off charge since 6am. I am a heavy user too.

Thank you everyone for your feedback. I have another question, Does the P8 have double tap or swipe to wake up and turn off the screen without using the power button?

While I really appreciate you effort and speed in giving us root + recovery, this isn't a valid reason for me to avoid warranty on a new phone but I would be very interested in an AOSP or Cyanogenmod based rom and available for testing.

Don't get me wrong, I am not claiming more, just asking info :)
