[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tim456:
I haven't seen a lack of 3g mentioned for T-Mobile UK, but may be the Netherlands are different. My problem is more that I can't even get it to connetct to the network... I'm going to try the SIM in a different phone tonight and see if it's broken.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
Churchill,

That is not true!

I use T-Mobile NL and subscribed to "Pocket Internet Totaal Plus" :

- Max 192 Kbit/sec download

- Max 32 Kbit/sec upload (if I am not mistaken)

- 19.95 euro / month

- Unlimited usage

My SIM card is very old, I have been using it since few years ago.

The T-Mobile NL 3G is working just fine.

I got the "3G" icon all the time and managed to test the connection with dslreports.com and got 144 Kbit/sec.

Yesterday I tested the internet connection sharing, so I connected the Kaiser to the internet and plugged it to the laptop.

It worked fine! The speed was constant 30 KBytes/sec (tested by downloading big file).

So, I confirmed you that T-Mobile NL is working fine.

PS: One thing that still puzzled me, why dont I get HSDPA (3.5G) connection??? The "H" icon. I tought that T-Mobile has HSDPA already.

Maybe if I subscribed to "Internet Totaal Plus" (1.8 Mbit/sec, 69.95 euro / month) I will get HSDPA ... but, it is toooooo expensive! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Churchill:
Gogol, thatnx for the reasurance.. I am right now on the Pocket internet Totaal woth 64kbps and once I prolong I want to take the Plus version for 19,95 since the first year is half the price.

I beleive that H icon shows only if you go to HSDPA speeds. I was able to reach those speeds of up to 1Mbps on my current subscription (pocket internet Totaal) because there was a whole in the ssytem by T-Mobile. If you get the Pocket Internet Totaal in T-Mobile shop (mind you onlyu t-mobile shop) you were able to just surf in HSDPA. That lasted about 10 months for me after which they capped the connection to 64 Kbps so I am a real unhappy man right now, so Once the Keiser is availbale by my reseller I am going to take the Plus version for 19,50 a month.....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Churchill:
Gogol,

Are you Dutch??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tim456:
Original Issue fixed

Just a note to report that my original problem seems to be fixed. I just put the SIM card in another phone and it worked. Then transferred it back to my Kaiser and the error had gone.

I have no UMTS, but I'm pretty sure I just haven't found the right setting. Does anyone know if T-mobile UK has HSDPA yet?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
Churcill, No :) I am not Dutch. But I live and work here in the Netherlands for couple of years already. Love the country :)

I can understand Dutch pretty much, but no speak :)

And you? :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] IBORGUK:
T-Mobile UK allows HSDPA although dependent on what handset you signed up for with them you may not have it enabled on your account. For example if you bought say a Vario II from them then this is now enabled by default on the account. You may need to speak to 150 to get it enabled.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Churchill:
I am living here since 2002 (my Wife is Dutch) I love the place.. The reason I asked is because of your screen name. Gogol was a famous Russian Writer who's works we had to learn in School (I grew up in the former Soviet Union) so that is why I am asking what nationality you are..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] storm99:
I am using Vario II on T-Mobile UK, it DOES have HSDPA, I got the H icon. You need to ask them to activate the HSDPA service for you if they haven't done so.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
Ah, I see .. no I am not Russian :) Gogol was picked out of nowhere :)

The Pocket Internet Totaal Plus (PITP) is quite nice, although the network latency is still pretty much high. Sometimes lagging for several seconds :(

T-Mobile NL is still the cheapest 3G provider, right? I havent checked around yet (will do after this).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
storm99,

How fast the speed you got using T-Mobile UK HSDPA (with the H icon) ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] randomtask16:
I have the exact same problem and have put the sim in 2 other Unbranded unlocked phones and it shows services available. It is an inactive sim from Tmobile store, not sure how old. Att sim connects with 3g immediately.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Elwyn M3100:
The reason this message comes up is because the SIM is NOT ACTIVATED.

You contact the card supplier and ask them to activated the phone.

I know know because I was a norty boy and went out and got a new phone :D :D :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Redback911:
Same here, I ordered an unlocked TyTN II a recently moved from O2 to T-Mobile. I plugged the T-Mobile SIM and registered on the T-Mobile network without any problems.

[IMG="honor 5x faq"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3601318&stc=1&d=1452105605[/IMG]

What carriers does it work on?

It'll work on AT&T and T-Mobile in the USA, plus most other GSM carriers. It has the following LTE bands: 2, 4, 5, 12, 17. It comes factory unlocked.

Who makes this phone?

It's made by Chinese manufacturer Huawei, though this phone is sold under the honor brand (that's with a lowercase "h"). Huawei also made the much-adored Nexus 6P, but you probably already knew that.

Who is this phone for?

It's a phone for "everyone" because it has a budget-friendly price with midrange specs. Power users might not like the specifications, but ultimately this is a very well-rounded phone at a terrific price.

What's the battery life like?

The honor 5X has a 3,000mAh power pack which the company claims allows for a day and a half of "heavy" use. Specifically, the company claims 27 hours of talk time and 740 hours of standby time. The phone does support fast-charging with a 2amp charger, but does not have wireless charging.

Why doesn't it have Android Marshmallow?

The phone comes with Android 5.1.1 and honor claims a Marshmallow update is due in 2016. If you want it sooner, keep your eyes on the forums at XDA. :o

How can I get it, how much is it, and when does it launch?

It's $199 on Amazon and begins shipping January 16, 2016.

Zomg, I am not ready to buy it but I want to know more!

Check out the official honor 5X website
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Cyntil8ing:
I'm currently considering this phone.

Couple of questions for those knowledgeable on Huawei's products:

1. How good is Huawei's software update program? What's it comparable to if you're experienced with other manufacturers?

2. How well supported are their products here on XDA?

Thanks for your time.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] jschramm:
I dont love what Huawei does with its android customization. any word on an unlocked bootloader? This thing could be great with cyanogenmod.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] rdbud:
1. They've said this phone should get monthly updates and said that it will be updated to M.

2. They have four phones available to buy direct from gethuawei.com. One is the Nexus 6p. Two of the remaining three have official CM builds. Take that for what it's worth.

probably the Chinese version.

Anyways. Reading the recent XDA article on it, I became curious. What do I miss out on by not having a gyroscope?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] DarkEstra:
there is many things that i've been confusing about in HONOR 5X

1-the SD615 ( cuz lately i've been on G2 SD800 AND S4 SD600 ) not sure if it's gonna give me the same experience or no

2-supporting the device from the main company and the other developers (Such as CM,RR)

3-RAM : some say it's 3GB and others say it's 2GB i think i'll wait until the release to see if they'll launch the 3gb with a bit higher price

4-Still not enough accessories out there for this device

=====

but overall i think it's good device with sporting a med-range specs for daily use

also the screen is kinda nice with good contrast in sun

:D
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] rtuser:
There are Chinese version and US version of the phone.

US version comes with 2 GB RAM and will be available for Jan 31st.

The deal breaker for many in USA is missing T-mobile support for Band 12. Phone is supporting it, but is not licensed by T-mobile so most likely it will be disabled.

Hi,

i'm still using Samsung Note 3 if I'll get this Honor 5X, is it a downgrade ? nothing wrong with Note 3, just had a new battery, running good now but just want a new phone and this one is cheap.

If this gets root and cyanogenmod, I might consider it but seems like a downgrade from Oneplus One besides fingerprint scanner. Project Ara where are you....?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] cyrusalmighty:
Although someone just mentioned it, I just want to know about Rom development. Official CM and AOSP will be a necessity. NO EMUI or whatever that thing is!

I believe this phone would be a good upgrade (Great at $200) to my aging GS4 which constantly has "Sim card errors". I would also like to get Insurance and dont know if it exists since it sells on Amazon. Neither Newegg or honor website shows insurance options.

I am also considering OP2 and something soon so I hope this phone gets support here.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] jschramm:
seems Official CM support is a given based on a couple posts in the Pre-order thread. One post by Huawei USA employee and one tweet also posted in that thread.

Yes, honor 5X supports unlocking the bootloader. You must register an account on the EMUI site and then you can generate a bootloader unlock code.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Asadullah:
LOL! I had the same issues with my gs4. The huawei rep on here says they released the kernel source code and you can unlock the bootloader. I would bet money there will be some form of aosp rom within a month. The fact that huawei has a rep on here and they've done a lot with their website makes me think they are taking this phone and customers seriously. I don't expect them to bend over backwards for us but so far it's looking good.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] honordevice:
Honor 5X is compatible with the following network standards:

4G is one thing. Band 4 should work no problem. Band 12, I don't think so yet.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] terrypearson:
Band 12 is not the primary band

According to Ting (which has GSM services on TMobile), Band 4 is the band that is primarily used. Band 2 is also used as a backup. Band 12 is rarely your primary LTE channel.

So I think that the Band 12 dilemma may not matter too much. I will try to post later if someone does not beat me to it. I will have a sim for the device by the end of the week and can test it.

NTFS support

My new device did not recognize my memory card which was formatted to NTFS, I had to reformat it to FAT32. This is usual?

Also, did anyone else do a storage benchmark on this device? The internal storage's write/read speed is pretty good, but I'm a little bit sad because the external sdcard's read/write speed. My external memory card is a Samsung EVO plus 32gb which speed should be around 80/20 mb/s (I can confirm that, because with my Huawei Mediapad M2 I could reproduce these numbers with my other EVO plus 32gb card.), but with this device I've got 32/11 mb/s.

I've used A1 SD Bench app for the benchmarks every time.

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] squashpile:
Both slots support 2g/3g/4g, but only one can be used on 3g/4g the other will be 2g only. You can see this by switching the 4G/3G slot toggle under Dual Sim management.

Since the hardware of both slots support 2g/3g/4g I wonder if software will ever be able to enable 4g on both at the same time.

So yes, but not at the same time.

Currently have ATT and T-Mobile sims in the phone.

I'm getting 8-15 down and like 1-3 up on AT&T 4 LTE and 60+Mbps/15 up on T-Mobile (Band 4) prepaid when I tested last night. AT&T has never been over 20 for me lately. Not like I need that on a phone anyway.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Bear100:
On T-Mobile, and I only have been getting Band 4 in the Philadelphia metro area, the call quality is as outstanding and LTE reception better than my past top of the line HTC phones. It keeps the signal in hilly areas where I used to regularly loose the signal.

The noise cancellation is good, and people say it is as if I was on a land line even though I am in my car or walking about outside.

The speakers, both normal and speaker phone are the weak points. Turning them up only accentuates this. Clipped highs and lacking low down punch. It doesn't bother me much as I either use a good quality bluetooth headset or headphones for most of my calls or music (great stereo separation which you can't get from any phone).

On T-Mobile with LTE 55 down, 26 up; on 3G 30 down, 26 up. LTE Band 4 in Philadelphia metro area. In DC or NYC LTE Band 4 as well is regularly 60+ down. Have not found a T-Mobile cell tower yet that is not LTE Band 4.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUMINIT]:
I decided to try changing the watch's DPI a little to see if I could make sideloaded apps more usable, and it worked! Settled on 220 for now, but will probably raise it. It was a bit of a crapshoot, since I've no idea what the stock DPI is.

Anybody else tried this? What values did you decide on? Thoughts?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] donalberto17:
Can you tell me Which sideloaded apps are working with 220 dpi?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUMINIT]:
Well, I've only tried a few so far, but here's what I got:

- Browsers are now actually almost usable. UC Mini gives me the best experience so far. Chrome is ssssllllooooow, Firefox is okay-ish, CM Browser crashes on start.

- Stock Google keyboard is finicky, but manageable. Microsoft's handwriting keyboard got screwed up by the dpi change (it works, but the letters are off from where you actually touch the screen)

- Greenify is great

- ES File Explorer works okay

Curiously, only sideloaded apps seem to have been affected. Wear apps, watchfaces, etc. are the same. Notification cards are noticeably smaller, and so are Wear's system icons (charging and disconnected). So there's very little to mess up, and the change is really easy to reset even if you don't know the watch's stock dpi (I don't).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] donalberto17:
Stock DPI is 280, btw did you made those apps system apps? or you just sideloaded those apps normally?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUMINIT]:
Nope, just installed normally with adb install. I can actually access /system partitions with ES anyway.
