Proper etiquette aside (hint: don't use speakerphone while doing your "business" in a public bathroom), rate this thread to express how you think the honor 5X's speakerphone performs. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it's loud and it's clear.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] nandakalyan:
IMHO, the speakers are strictly average on loudness and clarity.......with V4A, I am able to squeeze out a little more out of them but at even mid volumes there are crackles. The sound (especially treble) sounds cheap and muffled. My evaluation is primarily by comparing this with my previous phone (Gionee M2) on which the sound was a lot punchier and fuller. Compare this with my wife's Lenovo Vibe P1 that overpowers anything else emitting sound in the house, it sounds like a whining wimp! hahaha! Wish it was possible to buy a spare and replace the speaker in H5X with the one on P1 :D :D
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] vsriram92:
Could be little bit loud.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] TouchOdeath:
The speakerphone isnt loud enough. Simple as that. I was going to get this phone for my dad, I had him test it out. He said he couldnt get the phone because the speakerphone isnt loud enough. I love this phone to the point of brainwash, but I had to accept his answer. What a shame.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] itsrustlife:
During my months of usage, I would say that this phone's bottom facing speaker is very loud, to the point that if you are listening to different types of genres of music, it can be a little distorted when on the max volume to the point that it sounds very unpleasant to listen to, or like it is "crackling" sort of. But of course, in the stock music player app that comes loaded on the phone's EMUI, there is a equalizer option that you can turn on to adjust the bass and such other options to meet your sound quality that you are looking for.

Thank you so much for your feedback. Here at honor, we love getting comments from our customers. We'll definitely forward your feedback about the Honor 5X's bottom speaker being a little distorted to our development team as we're always looking to improve our products. (ED)
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] venom007:
its muddy at high volumes, tweaking some conrrols using poweramp helps a lil bit.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] jkccl9:
Not great
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] krispy321:
There is a notable distortion at high volumes
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
The speaker position was a bad design. I wish it was facing front.0
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] AtaliaKetch:
For vocals, the speaker gets the job done but for music, hell no! Its speaker produces slightly high pitched sound making it super bad for music. On full volume, there is slight 'sound-tearing' effect.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] adriansticoid:
Custom ROMs and audio mods will solve your problems.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
I actually thought there are two speakers. :laugh: Turns out the other one is the mic.
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] gopinaidu77:
Glad that u dint tear it down to check if it is one or two
[Honor 5X Real Life Review] sniperlife:D:
That would be silly. Hahaha.

Have had the phone for a couple of days now, and I really like the phone, but there is a few problems.

- Still some Chinese text here and there

- Unable to connect to PC. Device not recognized by two win10 computers.

- Lock screen, unable to turn of the roll of Chinese pictures.

- Play Store, unable to update or download via mobile network, only via wifi

- Clock widgets tend to not being synchronized with phone clock. They stop showing correct time

These are very unique type of Mobiles that i ever see in mobile market. Here in Pakistan Xiaomi Mobiles are coming Soon. The first look i explored on the internet was quite amazing. I am keeping its rank after i phone luxury looks and feel.I will definitely buy this phone if prices would not so high.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] 1voud:
Hi, I can solve some problems for you.

Lock screen roll of pictures. Normally you can disable it if you put a wallpaper for lockscreen. Or to click on the small icon in the top right corner of your lockscreen.

Play Store, not able to download on mobile network. You need to disable the download limit in the settings of the "downloads" app.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] jac33au:
Love the phone, thought the build quality was excellent BUT my daughter dropped it and the case has split. I dropped my htc one, galaxy s, nexus 4 and a whole host of other phones a 100 times and there was no problem. Really disappointed :(

Only other major issue is the phone gets locked out "this phone has been lost" many many times a day. Sometimes i cannot use it for hours at a time because activation does not work.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] Guids:
That's a real bummer to hear :( hope that you can get it fixed somehow.

Do you mean that the glass back had split?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] jac33au:
When she dropped it, it hit the top right corner. The metal body is VERY weak apparently (see bend tests), so soft it pushed in. So now the back glass panel on that corner is separated from the aluminium frame. It always felt fragile, the glass is so smooth is slides off even grippy surfaces! BUT it is meant to be a flagship top of the market phone so i did expect more. This is the problem when one of the largest smart phone producers doesn't sell in the internet exclusion zone (Australia & NZ). No repair centres, no accessories in stores probably no warranty. Long wait for new cables, cases and anything else.

I'm starting to see LOTS of software issues now too, MIUI has always been that way though. Be good when some custom roms come out. I guess you get what you pay for. It's no Galaxy s7, HTC one or LG that's forsure.

Buyers remorse right now haha...

Oh, 3 days old too... (not my daughter, the phone:( )
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] Mxplorer:
Having brands like Samsung, LG and others ask so much for their flagship phones is not an excuse, they sometimes cost 4 times less to build than they sell for.

But thinking you actually get a top of the line phone for prices like these (not talking about the prices those online import shops ask for the devices when you're not living in asia, but the actual prices Xiaomi sells the phones for) there has to be some compromise... this time it's mainly the build strength.

The moment you get this phone, GET A CASE asap! You don't want to break it when accidentally sitting on it :'(

Want a less break prone version? Get the 128 ceramic version.

Got the phone damaged? YouTube hugo barra tearing a mi5 apart, good reparability.

Love this phone! But you have to handle it like a Chinese vase!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] HuskQi:
Love this phone. I was skeptical at first as their past phones were less than stellar imo but the specs at this price point was too good to pass up.

Have had it for around 2 weeks now, and though still minor quirks with software here and there, all around very happy and haven't run into any major issues.

Great battery life as well. As to be expected, the body is quite fragile but as I'm very careful with my belongings, I don't think I'll be dropping it *knock on wood*

The Mi 5 will be replacing my S7 - call me crazy, but the only downside (only taking into consideration features I use) I've found so far is that the camera is obviously worse. No biggie since I always bring my DSLR for any proper events, and this way I can save some money.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] Trakkar:
short mi5 review

Really happy with mine after 3 months, had a bit of pain getting off the vendor rom and figuring out all of the battery optimizations and over zealous permissions.

Once I sorted all of that threw the google now launcher (app drawer back ,Yuss !) on it and very happy. Super snappy after my nexus 5x and the camera is great. Low light could be better but you just use the HHT low light mode and its all good. Battery life is great, I am usually at around 40% after a full day. used a nilikin case from the start and love it, the size and weight is perfect.

The rear fingerprint sensor on the nexus was way better but the mi5 but that is mostly positioning, in my opinion rear sensor wins. Great phone and very happy with it, the only issue was software niggles which are getting better and better.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] pack21:
Loving mine too. Really impressive phone for the price.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] Supertitan:
I have the phone with international ROM, camera is very good. But it has some bugs.. Like Bluetooth and Gmail connection which sometimes fails and always connected to Mi stuff which i dont like.Its not that fast either, im thinking to try out the nexus 5x because its in the same price region.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] lapocompris:
Thanks for your review.

What are the features of the e-mail app that make it superior to other e-mail apps such as Gmail, Cloud Magic or Blue Mail ?

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] onestyle:
I've listet the eMail App as an negative point, so no superior things. The point is, that I was looking for a Mail App which chould cover my needs some years ago, and didn't found one. When I bought the Mi5 I just tried the wrong apps. BlueMail works great for my needs, thanks a lot for the hint!!! Cloud Magic I wasn't able to configure a different SMTP login (the function is existent, but it didn't accepted my server).

xiaomi are shooting themselves in the foot by not releasing !!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] veimus:
Hey don't forget they allow you to unlock bootloader and this is big plus for them :) not always the can release source, and they did that in 2015 http://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-finally-releases-kernel-sources/ but anyway right now i`m on cm-13.0-20160713-UNOFFICIAL-gemini.zip and its very good BTW. daily driver.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] nkt09:
The fact that Xiaomi doesn't release the complete sources makes it much harder to have a great number of devs building ROMs, Kernels, and other stuff. This device is great, has great potential and has also great potential to have a great community of developers behind it. Related to MIUI interface, the Xiaomi.eu community is great, by providing weekly and stable builds, bloatware-free, translated and optimized mainly for europeans. CyanogenMod, AOSP based ROMs will suffer and being updated slowly until the complete sources aren't released. That has mainly to do with Xiaomi. If the release happens, the dev community will approve and begin to build more stuff to this device.

My note: 3 stars.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] kenth_kristoffer:
The complete sources is not released yet for mi5?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] Billytromp:
AFAIK not yet. So are the devs behind LOS still waiting for the blobs to make the SIM on/off switch work.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] egentreri:
On los 06.02.2017

Everything is fine
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] Taiki321:
The developement is moderate but thats not because the device is not popular, there are still some missing codes from xiaomi. We are just 1 week away from getting the new Mi6 so hopefully this will speed up the release of the full source code.

I really like the things that are already up:good: especialy the LOS
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] mubu43:
Friends, I am thinking about getting this device. Would it be wise to purchase this in 2018? Or would you suggest something else. I really like the form factor, the device being handy.

yep bro me too :) but its not there in india now , will have to import it somehow :? :(
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review] mubu43:
you could check if there is someone willing to sell a decent used device. You will also get it very cheaply given that resale value for xiaomi phones drops drastically.

hi guys..if you are poor but does't wanna get lost in the wild :) here are the free map links for our tomtom software..

Mods if this is something i shouldn't share please delete it..in this links there are maps for almost the whole world..USA icluded

here is the second one

all free,from the bottom of my heart:)

MOD EDIT: As you guess per your statement above, Warez is not allowed - links deleted. (anyway poor people don't own these phones and if they are lost in the wild it's 'cos a wild animal has dragged them off the barren famine afflicted desert where they practice subsistence farming and govt militia abduct the women folk for the dictators nefarious prostitution racket.)

I welcome the removal of wares by the moderator above.

I think that comment is not neccessary when you are correcting a bad situation. Let us stick to what we are doing here and leave our personal prejudices behind.:(

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
Is there a specific version of maps for TomTom that work? Their site currently doesn't seem to be selling maps alone, so was wondering if any SD card with TomTom maps will work (I assume you would transfer them over to a microSD card).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ofiaich:
Hi!

I note that you wrote " there are maps for almost the whole world "

Bit too much to ask you to list the countries, but was Japan included? I guess not !!

Ofiaich :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
Version 6 maps work fine. You add the maps to your SD card in a folder with a title given by tomtom (eg GB_Plus_Major_Maps_of_Europe). This folder is normally in the root of directory of the SD card. You would not normally have an SD card with tomtom maps alone on it as that would mean swapping in and out SD cards when you wanted to use tomtom.

Mike
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
Well, looks like the HTC ROM does not have TomTom as some people thought? You can sometimes get just the SD card with maps on Ebay fairly cheap so I was hoping I might be able to do that, rather than having to pay $120+ for the software and maps...plus the additional cost of a microSD card to hold them (how much space do they need?)

I'm basically looking for a fairly low-cost way to use the GPS on the device. I already have GPS nav in my car so I wouldn't need it very often, but it's nice to have when you travel or are in someone else's car. I may just end up seeing if I can use AT&T's service, turning it on and off as needed. But that would probably be a last resort.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zetajunkie:
google maps, if you don't mind data costs. I also hear that you can find lots of pirated material on the interweb. Such brand names as Igo and TomTom are easily found, often cracked and ready to install, if you can swallow your morals long enough to wait for the download to finish...

Seriously, we are all adults here. Seek and ye shall find... (i.e. use some sort of search engine)

take this link for example http://www.google.com/search?num=50&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=+gps+software+ppc+torrent
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
No you are right, Tomtom is not in any of the ROMs it came on a CD (not installed), and even then not all areas of the world got Tomtom on the CD.

You would easily get the maps you use on an SD card alongside your other stuff. I have a backup SD I used to use which is only 1Gb and I had tons of apps a few photos various odds and ends and Tomtom GB maps plus major roads of western Europe.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
Okay, anything under 2 gig would be quite reasonable. Oh well, maybe I'll get lucky and find a cheap copy somewhere. I'd rather not use warez, I'm a software author myself, and morally don't care for stealing just because you don't want to pay what they are charging.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rsolomon:
Well 99.9999999% of those eBay "cheap copies" are warez - just so you know.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hayaticik:
i was little over my head with that line:) no Japan wasn't included..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
Not at all true, yes, there is occasionally warez on Ebay, but it's hardly at that level. I've shopped on ebay for a LONG time and only twice have I gotten warez copies of software (and got a refund on my money on both!) It's usually pretty easy to spot the fakes if you are a savvy buyer.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
The thing is that even if you get original disks it's probably illegal since it is likely to have been installed by someone else already. With some software you are not even supposed to instal it more than once yourself to more than one device. Beware software like tomtom that is capable of establishing data connections and knows your GPS position and other data.

Not that this applies to you, but those who install tomtom warez are running at least a theoretical risk that the software is capable of sending your tel. number to tomtom. In addition, it is obviously warez since any software that is cracked and using the same password (also applies to software purchased from ebay that other folk have installed) can easily be identified as in breach of terms as it will be logged against several tel. nos. and simultaneous use in different GPS locations and all using the same access code. This is especially true for anyone signing up to the likes of tomtom traffic using such software.

Mike
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rsolomon:
My comment was specific to TomTom - AFAIK there are *NO* legal copies of TomTom distributed on SD card for instance. I agree it's often easy to spot the fakes - but that doesn't change them being on there, which was my point.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
Understood. My inquiry about the maps on SD card assumed that the ROM had TomTom on it....which apparently this version does not.

I've tried Google Maps but so far can't get them to work. That might be a good solution for me, if it would just connect.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rsolomon:
Not sure I understand - TomTom app v6.03 can be downloaded from their website as long as you have TomTom HOME installed on your computer. TomTom licenses the maps so you have to buy those regardless of whether you have the "Taster" app or not....

The pirated maps and keygens are pretty readily available. One of my many gripes with TomTom is them not offering an evaluation/trial period. I do like the performance of TomTom, but the UI and functionality suffer greatly in comparison to Mapopolis. It sounds like iGuidance v4 may come closer to the Mapopolis model, and even TomTom v7 (or whatever they call it in the TTG720 etc) looks like a moderate improvement - d@mn shame Mapopolis threw in the towel.

Richard
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] evilc:
AFAIK it is not possible to sign up to traffic without a key. If traffic is not installed, TomTom does not open your data connection at all. Therefore, not possible to get caught. But moot point, as you are totally right deleting warez from xda-dev. ROMs is a grey area IMHO, TomTom maps aren't.

Some versions of TomTom do indeed come on memory cards
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rsolomon:
Ahhh, learn something new every day.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] evilc:
What country are you in? Should be easy to find tomtom stockists.

It is technically against the terms of use to use google maps for "turn by turn" satnav.

Besides, unless you have flat rate data it would probably end up costing more.

I tried using the web-based satnav that comes with the Blackberry 8800 - it was horrific! If you took a wrong turn you had gone miles before it got you back on track.
