FRD-L09

And what about FRD-L09 model? It was not mentioned here.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
Did u get the OTA?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
Nope, I rolled back to official B122, and now got OTA of B162, will see if I get EMUI 5.0 BETA OTA after that.

Did you got the OTA?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
No, not yet

It might be because I'm not in USA now
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
I'm also not in USA, but I tried using VPN, changing region and stuff.

Don't know for sure why we aren't getting it. :/
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
I did that too with no luck
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
Is there anyone else who lives in USA and didn't got the BETA OTA?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] huan01:
I signed live in the USA signed up for Beta around 11/10 and never received the Beta OTA.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
Cool, I just now successfully flashed it via TWRP.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
And the result..!?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] will2live:
i havent got anything as of yet still for Beta. No email or anything and I've signed up twice for beta testing. First time was on day one, then a buddy found a link to register that asked for IMEI info to beta test & even after doing that one still no response to test. Heck i went as far as even sending Roni a direct email & no reply from that either.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
Everything is working fine. :D

BTW if you get OTA please just notify me, so i can rollback and install it officially. :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] will2live:
yeah that is away around it if you can get a file & have rooted & installed TWRP. buddy is trying to convince me to do it that way as i have the file I'm just to lazy to deal with getting TWRP on it so i can flash.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
Good news

Sure I'll let you know if got the OTA
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
Well, my /system partition got resized to only 1.9GB instead of 2.9GB. :(
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
Damn, a whole one gigs of storage has been eaten..!!!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
yes..
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tonyb81:
Is this still going on? I got a US Honor 8 and would love to get on the beta.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] InkSlinger420:
When can we expect an update to officially fix the NFC and bt issues people are having from taking the xda official N beta?...Cause I am one of many with the issue and I have since rolled back to M till you guys get it figured out...If it's not planned to be in a timely manner, I'd want to remove my imei from getting update notifs about that buggy of a build...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
There is no major issue in the update like BT or NFC, we lost BT and NFC due to bad flashing.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dispata:
What's for them to fix? Those issues are caused by TWRP and belong to that thread.

There are four issues that I've found so far:

1. Swipe to open notification randomly stops working (comes back after a while)

2. No 720p mode (has switch but doesn't do a thing)

3. Bad spacing for Wifi icon

4. Standby drain if not reset (don't know if it's an isolated case)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
Can anyone who got EMUI 5.0 BETA from OTA, check the /system partition size using this.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dispata:
There you go.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
And you got the update via official OTA no?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dispata:
Yep, I'm not driving without bluetooth.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
Awesome, so no need to resize the /system partition [MENTION=4435346]LastStandingDroid[/MENTION], it is meant to be of 1.9 gigs. :D :D :o
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yes but I flash Xperia keyboard so it'll fail if I don't resize ;)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
Okay, cool. :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pairustwo:
It seems like most people here who haven't gotten the update say that they also haven't gotten an email reply.

I received and email from r##i@xda-develolpers.com (which seemed like a legit email address) asking for my IMEI number first. I replied right away but two weeks later I still haven't received an update.

Has anyone here had the same experience...either receiving a request for your IMEI or with the still waiting part?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
What was the user name? U should read the topic who had the beta slots
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pairustwo:
Sorry, I don't understand either part of your response. What was the username who sent me the request? It was via gmail so I don't know the username. My username is in my post.

Is there a topic with a list of users who were chosen to beta test? Link?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I read a xda user has gotten slots for it be could invite some users you should pm svetius about this
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
I also didn't receive the update.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
I had the same issue,

I got an email from Roni Webbs regarding IMEI and I sent him mine and never got any OTA.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Pm svetius
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
he can't do anything, as it's not in his hands so. :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
He should pm a administrator about this they can tell for sure if it's a true message or if it's a fake
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tonyb81:
Same here I've yet to receive anything on the beta after signing up.. bummer
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
The PM is legit I can say that, as Roni Webbs is legit. :) :D
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] UDM2004:
I've been noticing quite a bit of battery drain on the EMUI 5.0 Beta version. Has anyone else?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] HayateYuki:
Same, it doesn't seem like doze is working at all.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
I don't see such thing. Slept at night with 100% and Ultra Power Saving mode, woke up with 100% juice in there.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] HayateYuki:
I don't use ultra power saving mode when I sleep
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
Ohkay I'll try today without it and will check the drainage. ??

when we get root ill install the beta.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] HayateYuki:
Yeah I use it, still drains fast though. But using battery saving mode did help while I was asleep. It didn't go from 80% to 30% in like 8 hours.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] InkSlinger420:
It's disabled by default due to overwhelming user feedback about not getting notifications from things like third party email clients and widgets not updating.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] HayateYuki:
It's the EMUI 5.0 wallpaper
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
This is what he said :

Hi there,

If you didn't get the update, it's possible all the slots filled up already. Sorry about that. However, you can unofficially side-load Nougat beta onto the Honor 8 if you look in the XDA forums. But be careful!!*

Roni Webbs.

Not seen that one. I'm on FRD-L04 though
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
As long as you flash the full_hw_eu it will work.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
But L04 is for USA
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] InkSlinger420:
Well the US Huawei User FUT hasn't had or tested the 320 build yet, and I finally got N (317 through the updater, WASNT USER ERROR) going on mine without issue now, but I'm removing myself from the xda beta, and waiting for the official user trial builds...Good luck with all your hack and flash habits..Thought this OP was for the xda beta system, not stalking the hihonor firmware finder...lol
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
For FRD-L04 its full_hw_usa ?☺️
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Notchr302:
I notice there are 2 model numbers listed. Seems like mine is FRD-114. What's the difference?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ascertion:
I think the only difference is the storage. You must have the 64GB variant.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] a.vandelay:
has anyone shared the OTA?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ascertion:
I'm having a hard time finding it, if it's available. According to Honor support there is a way to flash the Nougat N firmware here on XDA, but I've only found it available for one of the international models, not the US one.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cvkef:
I'm kinda lost too with all those versions out there. :(

I'm on stock FRD-L09C432B131, no root, locked bootloader. I've downloaded the FRD-L09C432B316 OTA (19/11/2016) via Firmware Finder.

Is it safe to install it? Is there any way to install it without unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP? Do I still have to install the update_data_full_hw_eu.zip ?

Thank you :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cvkef:
Do you mean the BETA v2.1.12 app? If is that so then I guess I can't install it because the app does not even allow me to log in, even though I have a Huawei ID enabled. And even if I could I guess I would have been part of the beta round.

If anyone knows if there is a way for Local Update please let me know so I could try it :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] schluk:

Im in Sweden, just got the honor 8. Read about the beta and most of this thread. Downloaded the app firmware finder but could not find emui 5 with it. Until just now when the app updated. The model number matches and Im downloading. Should it be ok to install? Im not rooted. Hope this is ok to ask here.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] samuelpfoto:
Hm? It's downloading. On 28 % right now.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
It's useless now I guess you should stop downloading

Instead, you should unlock bootloader and flash TWRP (custom recovery).

---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

Then you should flash the firmware via a zip file
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] samuelpfoto:
Why useless?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
Maybe [MENTION=5391886]DigiGoon[/MENTION] can help you out, I never flashed it my bootloader is still locked.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DigiGoon:
You have to flash it after unlocking bootloader and then via TWRP recovery.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:

I flashed it like I said above, and got error 7 during update_data_full_hw_eu.zip install. Flashed update.zip after, and it booted fine. It's lagging a bit from time to time and BT and NFC aren't working. Any fixes?

To change dpi, it is under developer options. Scroll down to the drawing option.

I am on EMUI 5.0 Beta B320 and I want to clear the cache partition (but not full factory reset) but when I reboot to stock Recovery, it just has option to download latest eRecovery and flash latest full package, Reboot System and Shutdown. On the EMUI 4.1 stock recovery, there is an option to just clear the cache partition. Can I flash EMUI 4.1 stock recovery and use it on EMUI 5.0?

Any help is appreciated.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
I manually updated thru TWRP.

It's downloading, 1.38GB, but in changelog it is not showing B320. ?

Let's see what happens once it's completed. ☺️
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
Nice

But I thought you were on B317 ?

How did you manage to get the script for updating from B317 to B320?

Or you just changed B162 to B317 instead?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dhakkon:
I'm on B317 (I got into the beta so it was downloaded directly via OTA), why are some of you talking about a B320 version? I didn't get any update after the full OTA update.

That's bad,

Well as described by an XDA member :

You have to download rollback package from huawei official website which will take you to B122 then download and flash B162 then use Charles Proxy procedure to get B320.

---------- Post added at 06:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 AM ----------

Well let me share with you some of my experience with the C567B320 so far:

Aside from the graphical bug describe in post #327 here

I just noticed that the Kernel version date is

Tue Nov 22 12:37:41 CST 2016

Android Security patch level:

November 1, 2016

The battery juice gave me 6:34 hrs. On normal facebook, youtube, browsing, playstore downloads and slight gaming (Army of Heroes) usage and still i had like 20% of juice left.

I think that the major fix over B317 is the battery behavior through newly modified kernel (some members described a bad battery drain overnight on B316/ B317) i confirm, it is not here anymore at least of what I've experienced so far.

Some apps doesn't work properly with Android N,

Screen off/ Screen lock apps doesn't quite work with the fingerprint unlocking but there are some experimental workarounds found in the settings of some of those apps, not as quite as good with Android M but still works.

Notifications icons seemed fine to me (some members complained about notifications icons placement)

I mean for me it's classified as a daily driver if those bugs are fixed, unless anyone can prove the opposite by describing bugs.

Nitrowarez.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
I am on C636B320 and the excessive battery drain overnight by Android OS is still as bad as B316 ?.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikev190:
Did you do a factory reset? On 316 it helped quite a bit.

Still not to the level of emui 4 though. Currently loosing half a day charge compared to before
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
Not yet but that will be my next step, I was hoping I do not have to do that since I have set-up the phone just 2 days ago. What is the typical 8 hours overnight battery drain that you are experiencing now (after factory reset)? Mine drains from 100â„… down to 30â„… over 8 hours overnight.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chikess:
Has anyone the issue that notifications for example WhatsApp didnt receive after the screen ia off for more than a few minutes?

Gesendet von meinem FRD-L09 mit Tapatalk
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikev190:
I had the exact same issue. Even with ultra power saving mode!

Last night I used ultra power saving mode with WiFi and mobile data off. I drained about 3% which is much better.

I used the pc suite to backup texts, call logs etc before I did the factory reset and it didn't take long to get back up and running. Hopefully this will be resolved before it's released. I've also done a ticket about the issue.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
Then you can roll back to B122 then update to B162 then directly to B320

If you are officially a tester by normal dload method or by Charles Proxy app if not.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
I can rollback to B130 EMUI4.1 but I really like the refinements that comes with EMUI5 :). Guess I have to live with the battery drain compromise until the next beta release which hopefully will solve the problem.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrowarez:
I don't have the battery drain problem so far, Just make a factory data reset after updating.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmk7128:
I am actually going to proceed with the factory data reset and give B320 another shot :D after I back-up my data.
