Has anyone ordered an honor 5X? :highfive:
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] aknotts415:
Just saw it on Amazon. I'm thinking I might! :cowboy:
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] BaconStep:
Yup ordered a 16GB gold model from newegg. Hope it doesn't suck
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] biglilsteve:
The only thing that might suck could be development. But maybe the aggressive price point will rope more devs in.

I work for Huawei USA, and I have done everything I can to support custom development on Huawei handsets. We send out devices to community maintainers, and Huawei provides the kernel source and bootloader unlock codes. Ultimately, it comes down to the popularity of the device. Based on all the positive coverage from CES, I think the honor 5X is going to do well. Honor can also get users attention by continuing to deliver regular software updates, and keep improving the user experience.

Did everyone get that piece of mail from XDA?

I am really interested in this device. I really wish there is a lot of development on this, I would love to see this rooted and Cyanogen / vanilla android on it

and I also hope this device does not sell our on amazon / new egg

I Think there will be enough available for $150ish on swapa, as long as they dont sell out on amazon and newegg

now if they DO SELL OUT, then there is going to be a premium, given how much buzz they have created !

Phandroid rating (4/5)

The Good

Awesome display

Great battery life

Fingerprint sensor

Affordable

The Bad

No NFC

No 5GHz WiFi

No Fast Charging

Lack of Band 12 on T-Mobile (could be updated)

I would have liked them maybe not to have focused so much on the body (since most folks use cases now-a-days it's irrelevant on wasting $$ to make the body beautiful) but rather included NFC and fast charging.

Also, pre-order from newegg and receive a free 32 gigabyte SD card.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] ukon16:
Every preview blurb published says this phone has qualcomm 3.0 fast charging which is the lastest standard. If it doesn't I'm dumping my pre-order for a Redmii Note 3.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] jasonbiggs:
"What we can tell you is the worst part about this big ‘ol honkin’ battery is that it takes*for-ever*to charge. Since there’s no fast charging on this phone, you would be looking at close to almost 2 hours to get the honor 5X fully juiced up. At least you wont need to juice up halfway through the day, right?

[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] edi4ever:
Does it support OTG?
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] ukon16:
I finally figured it out after doing some research.

There are 3 versions of this phone.....a neutered US release and a 2 Chinese versions that differ in ram(2-3gb) but they have Quallcom 3.0 fast charging enabled....for whatever reason it's not enabled on the USA version(licensing? Hardware? who knows?!).

Screw this phone....initially I thought it had both 3 gas of ram and Quick Charge 3.0 but unless your getting the chinese version, no deal. If we're lucky, the Qualcom quick charge is a software issue that future updates/kernels can re-enable but I'll probably cancel my pre-order and get a used Nexus 6. :rolleyes:

How did you do that? Even I ordered from Amazon but not getting any microSD card free.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] Hexidemic:
I contacted customer support about the order and asked them to match newegg's promotion. I threw a link in to the product page at newegg just to show them the offer. Got a reply back telling me to order a 32gb micro sd and that they'd refund me for the cost.

wimbet,

Any Huawei USA info on Band 12 being enabled for T-Mobile? I hope so.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] wimbet:
squashpile, The honor 5X supports LTE Band 12, but the experience will vary from carrier to carrier.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] squashpile:
So does that mean it's not disabled in the phone, but could be by T-Mobile? Just reading conflicting info - only HSPA+ then I read different.

I'll find out soon enough guess. Thanks for your time.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] lyrical1278:
Band 12 is supported but it isn't enabled... T-Mo has to "certify" any phone for band 12 use.

So it can "support" it (meaning it can be capable of accessing the band) but T-Mo has to "allow" it

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

I'm personally thinking this phone, hardware wise, is a top notch phone at its price point... The software (EMUI) is what's hurting this phone in every review I've read or watched...

Hopefully AOSP can get thrown on this.

[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] k9cop:
Well they would not do the same for me, but they did credit my account for 10% of the purchase price and another $5 for being inconvenienced. So I got $25 off the Amazon price. Just enough to almost get a 128gb sd card.

Pretty cool of them to do that when it wasn't necessary.

Honor 5x running my custom kernel :)
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] cyrusalmighty:
Do you have the Honor 5x to try it on? Is the kernel stable yet? Can an AOSP rom work with this custom kernel and would FP sensor work with it? Either way Great work for developing so early.?

Sorry, I just read you are "Running on 5x". Lol.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] deadman96385:
Yeah i have a honor 5x, its currently just to disable the build in root blocker, and system write protection, this is purely a stock kernel so FP will work but aosp will not its to early in development for that.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] cyrusalmighty:
So how do you feel about the phone so far? Are you happy with the purchase?

Does your kernel allow us to Root the phone? Do you think we will see an AOSP rom/kernel anytime soon?
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] deadman96385:
I was actually sent one for development purposes, but so far its pretty amazing for a mid-range phone. Fingerprint gestures are cool, build quality is amazing! The software could be better its very IOS like but overall its good.

My kernel allows us to edit the system and enable rooting, it by itself does not root we also are currently working on getting twrp working, we have a pre-rooted system image in the works.

I'm planning on doing a T-Mobile sim swap from an old Nexus i9250. It is currently on the $30 prepaid plan 100 min 4G plan. Do you think there will be any problems with that old SIM card? I only get HSPA+ on that old phone and I thought I read months back when looking at the Nexus 5 this older sim may not get 4G.

Anyone know anything about that?

I do have a new sim I ordered from T-Mobile a few months ago. Just not sure how I would activate a new sim on the same prepaid plan. I'm pretty sure I can just do sim swap to get service. Just want to make sure I'm getting the most out of it. I need to read up, but just thought I would ask. I have been on this plan for years and just looking for an easy swap.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] cyrusalmighty:
Try Old SIM first. See what speeds you get. I dont know how to activate the new sim. Maybe someone else here can help you with that. Have you googled "Activate New SIM card Tmobile"? I would just call TMobile customer service/Help line for quickest results.

My suggestion would be to use the new SIM if you already have it and don't have to pay any money. It may be worth it if new Sim can get you faster speeds. Eventually old sim will need to be changed.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] squashpile:
I have been reading up. It looks like my old sim won't fit anyway from my reading up. So yeah I'm going to need to switch anyway. T-Mobile has a page to switch or update sims, but I read it won't work for prepaid plans. I'm going to try that first to make sure and then just call if any issues.

Phone should ship tomorrow. This one is for the wife. I need to replace mine too. Just trying to get all this straight so don't get beat down when I can't get her 5x swap good to go :D

thanks for your time and help

Amazon finally gave me $15 amazon credit which is good enough for me. The phone seems to be great deal as it is. That $15 should pay for a phone case which I am having much trouble finding.

I figure I can search for either Honor 5x or Huawei G8 cases since both phones are the same 5.5" phone and have volume and power on right side together. But I guess there are no good protective case for either phone yet.

Phone is almost here and I still have no case.

I did notice some sluggish behavior when trying to do multitasking. The app opening was slow and phone kinda hanged up. However with normal usage and limited multitasking phone seems to be perfect.

One weird issue I am seeing is any attachment I download from gmail or any file I download from chrome the notification bar gets stucked and the file download arrow keeps on tikering(like blinking). Once this happens I either need to restart phone or download some app from playstore. Once I download a app, the notification bar can be opened up again but that previously downloaded file notification keeps on disappear and reappear

Anybody else notice this???

The chip is not being "upgraded." There was some wrong information which stated Snapdragon 615. The correct chip is Snapdragon 616.

I think you are right that it is a SD 615 as I believe the article states the SD 616 has 4 cores @ 1.7 ghz and remaining 4 cores at @ 1.2 ghz.

I think the SD 615 has 4 cores @ 1.5 ghz and remaining 4 cores @ 1 ghz. An extra 200 mhz on them all should change the speed for the better.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] KnownAxe:
I was under the same impression but what Mr Honor says then we already have updated chip. I checked the offical honor website and it shows that it is 616. I am trying to install Atuntu now to see what it say... gosh my internet is sooo slow :(:crying:
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] cyrusalmighty:
It seems Mr. Honor is right. I misundertood the article. The 616 has 4 cores @1.7 and 4 @ 1.2 ghz where as the 615 has the other 4 at only 1 ghz. So is the 616 just overclocked?

Marshmallow should be on the way. EUMI installed launcher not bad. Band 12.. you know. I read my self sick about that. All I know is it 4G LTE and speed test are fantastic on the $30 T-Mobile plan. I will be checking ASAP. It sounds like custom is not far off reading some of the posts.

$200 - Hammer time
