Would depend on size as i find the 6P way too big and the 5X to plasticky.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ionutzpaul61:
The next nexus will be made by htc so i have some good expectations, and i don't think i will be disappointed
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Danchibald:
I don't understand, P8 Lite got final i official MM, and P8 as flagship not?? Huawei Huawei...
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silvano2:
just got from huawei the b321 as official update

this is the final version and by the way no bugs so far..everything working fine even the led
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
Cool, hopefully we get it in the Asia Pacific region. Because i can't make the led work properly with Light Manager. Any other changes from the beta?

Has anyone tried to do a rollback to lollipop from this version?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ionutzpaul61:
Huawei told me on facebook 3 days ago that they are still working on final mm for p8 so b321 is not final

---------- Post added at 12:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 PM ----------

The rollback should work fine you have the transition package on huawei support website
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silvano2:
huawei update my phone with final VERSION OF MM Β321 i guess more small updates will come soon..no doubt
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
"final" :D its buggy as hell, damn poweramp, even stoc music player, is pausing randomly my music when im listening on the go, im getting very very angry about huawei, and i swear, i will NEVER buy HUAWEI again, even samsung is better
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ionutzpaul61:
I know.... on poweramp is showing decoder has timed out and is pausing the music, anyway i already told that huawei confirmed me that they are still working on final mm firmware for p8 a few days ago
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
i really hope they will fix it, im not willing to downgrade to lolipop if they wont fix every bug in marshmallow, i will better buy a new phone, i swear, the f****ng samsung i preparing android N for their lagships and we dont even have fixed marshmallow, nah...
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silvano2:
you change opinion so readily ...how comes? no bugs so far for me:)
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ionutzpaul61:
I am decided that my next phone will be a nexus, because even after official support other devs will always port or build newer roms for nexus series
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
one of the most imporat thing on smartphone for me is camera quality, this is why i got P8, , nexus smartphones are best in case of SW but their camera simply sucks
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ionutzpaul61:
I agree that nexus 5x camera sucks, but 6p camera is awsome
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 00471:
it may be good, but i bet that P8 has better camera than 6p, especially at night and against sun, but yea, overall nexus is way better in very way, if there will be any new nexus with top camera like P9 or S7 and with amoled, i would go for it imediately
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] myszy:
Is it OK to update from B313 or do I need to go back to B200 and then update?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ionutzpaul61:
Is ok..... upgrade with force upgrade(3 button method) but make a backup of your files because it will wipe internal storage
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] planeinmountain:
Thanks. I found the transition package you mentioned and went ahead with the rollback, turned out just fine. I am kind of sorry to leave mm behind but I just couldn't live with the unreliable notifications. I need my reminders to fire at the right time, not 45 minutes late or even not at all. Anyone else experience this issue? Gmail and whatsapp notifications where fine but reminder apps/calendar apps (except stock which I don't care for)... ugh! And I did do a factory reset after the upgrade. Heck, I reinstalled multiple times, both system and apps, from scratch. Nothing worked.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] razvann974:
321 and 321a are the same. I received the finall relsease by ota from 4 May. Confirmed to me by a huawei oficial representant from Romania.

And the battery problem is from LTE modem. One of the worst LTE modem with harwdare bugs. It cosumes alot of battery in weak signals and keep to stay on weaker 4G signals - even until it reaches -118dB, before switching eventually to 3G. (It could be a driver optimization problem, but i dont think). Anandtech had the same problem when they tested endurance on lte connection and was classified the last ( worst) in the testing list.

I have tested too in a weak 4G signal zone only in standby , connected to 4G , with autosync off , it consumes between 15% - 20% in 9 hours. On another places with strong signal ( between -80 - 89dB) it consumes only 4% in 9 hours of stanby...

PS: I never seen a phone that could stay connected to a weak signal network with a so low value. Most of them diconnect/switch to a stronger network( if awailable) when reach -105 - 110dB...
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silvano2:
i wrote that the b321 is the final version of mm..Confirmed to me too

what you suggest? rollback to b200?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ionutzpaul61:
Also huawei romania told me a few days ago that they are still working to remediate problem encountered in beta program.... so b321 or b321a are not final mm firmwares
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
What are you talking about, bad LTE hardware in last year flagman? Can't be serious - 80% of GSM equipment of all base station around the world plus almost the same percentage in customer equipment is the Huawei! Bugs...can found in samsung with modems from unknown Korean manufacturers than in Huawei o_O
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silvano2:
wish you are right
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ionutzpaul61:
Use google translate.... they told me that on 23 may
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] razvann974:
I was not enrolled to beta program. So i could not received ota updates for beta releases...

And for TopperBG -

I talk from real testing on two P8 on different situations...

And Anandtech confirm this problem

Take a look to Web browsing battery life on LTE from their review... ( i cannot post external links because i am new)...
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] majaczos:
Huwawei's PR departments (like on facebook) are saying that B321 is final (especially because some people got it through OTA) even in my country but their technical service/support (people that work on actual devices) are saying otherwise. I trust them more especially because B321 can be really buggy.

Current Nexuses have really good cameras. Camera app sucks tho.

5X and 6P have identical cameras.

P8 isn't really a flagship. They cut many corners to keep the price low. Antennas are one of those corners. 2015 flagship with no WiFi ac support? Come on Huawei.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
Ok, it's up to you. Also it hasn't ssd or 128GB but it's best last year in production line.

Did you have it?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] enzo_cz:
Reading some comments bashing this awesome device makes me wonder why the hell those people bought this device. Of courcse it has some bugs but to be repeatedly saying the same over and over again? Has any of you tried different apps? Some tweaks etc? Myself I use BlackBerry Hub and BB Launcher. As Huawei Weather Widget doesn't work with any 3rs party launcher I installed Z5 weather and weather widget port and it works like a charm. Music app again using port from the z5, etc. To have at least a bit of Doze like handling I installed PowerNap Xposed Module. I even tweaked Huawei themes as if you rename the hwt ending to zip you can change the icons to your liking. Having that said plus I am in deodexed 321a the only thing not working is sms led. Anything else I am not aware of. If technically there's something missing and I don't need it yet I will look into it when buying a new phone some day. For its actual price it is a real deal and the fact we lack on custom roms, well that's bad but still I consider this device to be awesome. Some of you saying you wanna a Nexus so go and buy it then. I saw very same comments on LG G Flex 2 forums as I had it before the P8. People need to learn that if they wanna have an AOSP feel they need to check XDA how much support is given to a device they want to buy. And if there's almost a zero then you'd better get another one.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] razvann974:
And what's the problem? It's a P8 dedicated discussion forum. We can discuss here anything ( including problems) here about this device... And in this case - real problems...
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
Yeah sure - all we want more speed, more power, more internet .... with the same power live? Can't happen, it's all about.physics law for conservation of energy. Must spend one to receive another.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silvano2:
sorry guys but i didn't find problems [yet] to my p8 after this official update to MM from huawei.. i dont really know for what are you talking about

and by the way the camera is far better than LP..my wife has a p8 with LP inside so i can see the differences..

also no problems with modem.. the signal its better now...and battery life its the same or better i could say..i dont care about third party applications like poweramp..there are thousand out there to pick..
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xcite:
Maybee someone else has seen this issue too:

I am on MM C432B321 and until last week everything worked well. Had an issue with WIFI before with B200, connected to wifi, waking the device up but like hanging when accessing wifi for about 10-15secs, timeout, when accessing again access to the internet. Had see this with many networks, not on modem. Updated then to 321 and factory reset. The problem came back last week after working well since upgrade to MM in April. Anyone else has seen this before? Is there a fix? This is really annoying and Huawei doesn't seem to know about this... anyone got a good technical contact at Huawei?

Thanks a lot
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ionutzpaul61:
Never had this problem.....
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pirx73:
I wonder. My wife's P8 still sits on B200 5.0.1 Lollipop, does not offer any updates.

And according to carbontesla site there are two parallel beta branches - 5.1.1 one and 6.0.1 one.

Which one is "real" one?

Plus - did they finally brought back Android Data Usage menu which is not accessable normally on P7 and P8?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silvano2:
i can see data usage menu in device management

android 6
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ncmt:
Sorry i'm posting because I don't know where to post it, and I can't create a new post.

I don't know if I'm on B321 or B321a (I think I did the OTA), but here is my problem :

When I use over launcher like Nova Launcher or Google Now Launcher, I have a black band on the right of the screen when I set a new wallpaper (that has a "portrait" size). I don't know where the problem come from, but I didn't have this problem with Lollipop. So, even if I don't really like the Emui Launcher, I have to do it.

Could you help me plz ?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mark2410:
so jsut to clarify, the B321a build is or is not stable? just im still getting onthing ota since B200 and its begining to annoy me that huawei doesnt seem to give much of a fig as to what exactly is going on.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
Most of the users here have updated manually to Marshmallow there was no notice of OTA update only certain countries with beta testing program and China. I think Huawei haven't released yet an official stable version. For example Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand can get the update from Huawei website yet Indonesia, and many other Asia Pacific countries don't have it, although all of them use the same rom. Another thing p8 with single Sim(Europe countries) are getting updates faster than p8 dual Sim devices(Asian countries). Also most of the Marshmallow roms out there are based of C900B320 rom which if i am not mistaken Russia had it first you can check your system version inside the build.prop.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mizzezjonezee:
Can someone tell me how to create a new post using the xda app? I have a question that I want everyone to be able to see.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mark2410:
so, having an eu version, well im not getting faster updates, ive not had any sort of update in forever. so the B321 build is not considered stable then? or are huawei still offering to some countries but no the rest of us. have they given any sort of reason for that?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
It's faster compared to Asia Pacific, I think you bought this device recently probably with the B200 update, the previous rom versions started from B120,B132,B150,B170,B180, and then B200(All Lollipop) and now the majority are on B320 only Europe has the B321 and B321a or the single sim version. whether B321 or B321a is the final stable version no one knows, but we will take what ever they give us, just give us something:p.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mark2410:
i bought it at launch. its had very few updates, i dont know what it was on when i got it, its now on B200 but 6 has been out for a year and there is a 6 rom out there and has been a beta from huawei for a very long time now, im getting increasingly annoyed by the lack of movement on their part. i mean this thread is months of, from the start of april and its still not being pushed.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
uninstall this app, download and use XDA Labs from xda website. Then once in App go to XDA forums>All> select Huawei P8 thread make it a favorite by selecting the star> Then go to subscribed threads you will find it there, open it then go to Quesions&Answers click the pen tool to start a thread.

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

Pal complaining about it won't make the updates any faster you just have to live with it or buy another phone. Personally i am satisfied that we got the marshmallow update before other brands such as Samsung and LG. I mean as stated before i got 4 version updates within a span of 6 months not bad yes not to all regions at the same time but they will get better with time hopefully.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mark2410:
[/COLOR]

erm but thats my point, we dont have marshmallow. we have a maybe beta, maybe not, thats been out for months yet no new revisions nor has it been pushed to OTA. i want huawei to decide that its stable and push it or if its not then to bloody well hurry up and fix whatevers stopping them from declaring it stable and pushing it out
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silvano2:
who told you is not stable? i got it for a month and its very stable..just to inform you about b321
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mark2410:
i meant that its not been declared stable by huawei and thus pushed ota. though clearly it seems to be fine and has been for some time according to peeps here.. thats why im getting so frustrated that they havent pushed it or fixed whatever they seem te think is the reason they havent pushed it yet.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eanan:
Can I install TWRP/Root AFTER I manually flash this MM OTA update, or should I do it while im on Lollipop first?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silvano2:
i got official update from huawei directly to my phone mate and i assure you im not a beta tester..
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mark2410:
so why arent they pushing it out to all, i mean its been out for ages now so whats the hold up?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silverblack:
Exactly its been out over 2 months now hardly anyone has had the OTA update.

TBH there is not much difference from lollipop and doze doesn't even work on the P8.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] silvano2:
thats right..i lost a lot of options and im thinking to rollback to lollipop

not much difference indeed
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
Doze can't work device don't have needed sensor.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] razvann974:
It has gyroscope ( calibrated), gravitational, acceleration, orientation and rotation vector. So it has enough motion sensors...
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TopperBG:
Here are app on xda which test phone for comparability to Doze. Already checked my GRA-L09 n its not capable to enter that mode. Check yours.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ionutzpaul61:
The sensor is there..... is missing the feature because huawei has replaced it with their own "doze" feature named protected apps, anyway i don't give a **** about doze because my phone stays o the table only when is charging, and doze doesn't work on pocket.... the problem with battery life is in kernel governor.... when i will decide that warranty does not matter for me anymore i will build a kernel with more governors
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] razvann974:
It not has to do with cpu governor. It is from LTE modem. LTE modem is the biggest consumer and it consumes much more when the signal is lower than -105dB. Because of that, when you change the power scheme from performance to balanced , the difference is small ( 2-3 hours only) - because the cpu is not so important even if is capped to lower frequency...

And the modem selection ( 4G/3G/2G) remains active even when the mobile data is off.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mark2410:
okay, so i think im about ready to force the update however i wondered soemthing, does anyone know what the user benefits of upgrading to 6 actually brings? ie anyone want to tell me what id get out of upgrading?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mark2410:
so ive updated and ive found a problem. i use the app battery widget reborn, it sohuld shouw the battery percentage in the status bar and in the netification it should show a little battery chart.

now in the status bar it just show the apps icon and in the notifications the notification is contracted so as to not show the chat even though its been set with a high notificotion priority. can any one help to rectify these errors?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eanan:
This does not seem to work. For me, it just hangs on the Huawei logo on boot.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] splucky:
I see on the bulgar huawei website 2 version of the B321 firmware.

Huawei P8 Firmware (GRA-L09, Android 6.0, EMUI4.0, C432B321) release 2016-5-18

Huawei P8 Firmware (GRA-L09, Android 6.0, EMUI4.0, C432B321a, Bulgaria) release 2016-3-30

So the firmware 321 is the last realease ?

I'm on the 321a firmware, and have big battery drain.

Is the firmware 321 is better on battery life ?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rodlane:
B321a is newer.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GodzillaMonster:
I've been on 321a since April.

Battery life is no worse than the original firmware for me.

I would say it is even better (typically around 2-3 days).
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] djg269:
2-3 days?!? Please post a screenshot from battery management. The graphic and the list please.

Verstuurd vanaf mijn HUAWEI GRA-L09 met Tapatalk
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] splucky:
Yes, i would like to see it too. One day is the best it can hold when my girlfriend uses little
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GodzillaMonster:
My phone was in flight mode for 12 hours, so the graph is not typical at the moment. But I think its a good idea to get a screeny to make sure my perception of the phone's battery life is firmly fixed in reality.

Worth pointing out also that I only read emails, send perhaps 1 sms a day, and take a few photographs with it.. probably not typical use (ie: no facebook or twitter)
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] majaczos:
Marshmallow is newer. That's the only advantage. Notification LED doesn't show texts, battery life is worse, RAM management is even more aggressive - every app is closed from the background after 5-15 minutes. Forget about endomondo or a smartwatch. You also have less options to personalize your phone, settings are rearranged (battery stats are deeply hidden). Do not update to 6.0 if your 5.0.1 works fine.

With no apps in the background, no social media synchronization, LTE (P8 has very poor antennas) 2 days and 3-4 hours of screen-on-time are absolutly possible.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] splucky:
yes I admit I have not tried the 5.0.1 firmware , I just got off the phone and I directly install version 6 .

Do you know if it is possible to configure the sd card in adaptive mode with the version 5.0.1? It is also for this reason that I install the version 6
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] razvann974:
And you can add reversed audio channels Left/Right for video recording. Ofcourse this happened only with default camera app...
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] majaczos:
I have 5.0.1 right now and EMUI allows me to transfer some apps and games to MicroSD card but not all of them.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GodzillaMonster:
I have a few apps in the background for my smart watch and other bits and bobs, but no social media.

Anyhow, someone wanted a screenshot of the battery use so I've tried to attach it - this charge will just about hit three days and is sort of normal for me.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] djg269:
thnx for the screenshot, with that kind of usage everyone can hit 3 days [emoji6]

Your screen time on is approximately 1/2 hour in 3 days?

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GodzillaMonster:
Maybe 1/2 hour to 1 hour, yes. Not sure why it would be on for longer.. I have things to do ;)
