Indeed.

I was actually thinking of starting a thread like this. I'm glad you thopught of it, kazuni.

I agree with tonyb, more information is needed, but I don't know exactly how to organize it. I am convinced that the issues are related to:

- Radio version

- How the radio is driven (ROM)

- probably Microsoft's EAS implementation

- how all the above react to low signal strength

At the risk of repetition I'll post some of what I have learned.

My interest in all this began when I got a Sprint 6700 a couple of years ago and was astounded at the terrible battery life, about 10 hours to full discharge. Here's my typical configuration (now on an 8525):

Service provider is AT&T

WI-FI and Bluetooth turned off.

Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is always running

POP3 mail only when requested (rarely, maybe every other day, 5 messages)

Phone is almost never used

Internet access used less than 30 minutes per day

Reading books, maybe 30 minutes per day.

In my office, about 9 hours per day, I have a very weak signal, 1 bar or less.

Elsewhere, 3-4 bars of signal is about average.

I learned from analyzing logs and with some help from Sprint and Microsoft tech reps that EAS seems to be the culprit in battery life. It works like this:

- The server and the pocket PC establish a persistent connection with a defined time to live (TTL) of several hours.

- While the persistent connection is running, they "ping" each other regularly, and in the process notify each other if there is any data to be transferred.

- This persistent connection uses

very little power.

- If the "ping" fails, the connection is dropped, and the PPC tries to re-establish a new connection. If it can't (poor signal) it tries again in 3 minutes.

- if the PPC still can't get a connection it tries again in 5,7,12,and 15 minutes, then every 15 minutes until it succeeds.

- This process of trying to re-establish the persistent connection

uses a LOT of power!

In the case of my PPC6700, the problem I was having was that the persistent connection was never re-established, even when moving into a 4-bar signal. I had to soft-reset the device to get the connection re-established. This has not happened with the 8525, but occasionally I have had to tell EAS to sync manually if it has lost its connection.

I've used vp3G and Schap's ROMs with radio versions 1.40, 1.48, and 1.54.07. Currently I'm running vp3G 3.62.3 with radio 1.54.07.

I understand that 1.48 and 1.54.07 radios are "good with AT&T". Certainly, and I don't know if this is real or just a fault in the bar-graph program, but I am getting 2 bars in my office with this radio, while I had 1 bar with the others.

I'd be interested to hear some ideas from the ROM and Radio experts.

I'd also like to learn how to interpret the results from the Firld Test program. There seems to ba a lot of info about he cellular signal there.

Been rock solid with the 1.54.07.00 and battery life is a full day also..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jonrobertd:
Country/Locale > Toccoa, GA USA

Service Provider > ATT

OS/Build/Cook > vp3g latest

Radio Version > 1.54.07.00

All this was done to my phone the day I got it. But set this way my 8525 gets great battery life as after 24 hours it is only on 70% (normal use).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Currently 1.54.30.10 - good battery life. No noticable reduction in signal strength / connection issues with any radio I've tried - I typically get the latest one available as they are posted.

Might be because I'm near Seattle and there's a tower every 50 friggin feet, so my phone doesn't have to crank up the power to acquire / keep a connection to the tower.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KarhU:
1.54.30.10... I like the speed at which this one finds the signal.

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GaT7:
Hi, for anyone who updated directly via regular OTA (not the manual method by downloading it via tap007's link) - what is your build version showing now?

For the people who flashed it via the manual method - what date is showing against your 'Android security patch level'? Please view attached thumbnail as an example of what I'm looking for.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrhei:
The provided update.zip file is a OTA update.

The preferred flash method is manual using the dialer *#*#2846579#*#* or via "adb sideload".

Therefore it's not allowed to unzip the file!!! It MUST be flashed as it is, a *.zip file.

BUT: The here at XDA provided file doesn't seems to work :(

If you have just flashed the update.app file from within the *.zip you have missed a lot other important files. As you can see your Build-Number hasn't changed.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] djg269:

Thanks guys, the reason I asked is to check if at least the security level date had changed after 'updating' manually to P382, which it seems to have done - as my OTA-updated B382 is the same (see below).

But djg269 says this is not new?

----------------------

Ok, was finally offered the B382 OTA update this morning (I'm in the UK) after trying for the last week & duly updated.

It is showing B382 now (from B370 previously) & 'Android security patch level' is showing 1 September 2016 (please see thumbnails).

Also, I'm now able to log in to Huawei ID / HiCare, but strangely couldn't when on B370.

Can I flash it from TWRP too?

[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NandorHUN:
Guys, I have TWRP installed, so I can not flash it via dialer, because each time I ended up in TWRP. What should I do?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GaT7:
Some have had success by flashing B370 over B380 (by 'force' flash probably), but some have bricked their phone doing this.

This is a safer method (worked for me).

If you're on European firmware (C432B380), carefully follow the steps mentioned here to take it right back to B200: Huawei P8: Rollback from Marshmallow to Lollipop [German-English Google translated link here if required]

Then update to B370 by OTA method via Settings or the Huawei HiCare app (check in both places).

If there are no updates offered, manually update to B370 using this method: Huawei P8 Official Marshmallow 6.0 [EMUI4.0.1] GRA-L09C B370 Eur Full [no wipe]

Finally, check for OTA updates via Settings or the HiCare app (check in both places) . If you don't get B382 immediately, wait a few days - I was only offered it 10 days after the op posted this thread.

Note:

- When you revert B300 to B200, it will wipe everything in the internal storage (i.e. your data, texts, alarms, photos, videos, music, apps, apps data, etc, etc), so make sure to do a thorough backup if necessary.

- Also, when you initially downgrade to B300, there will be some colourful 4G branding on the startup splash screen. Don't worry, because when you further revert to B200, it will be gone.

- Beware! Do

not

try to update B300 directly to B370 - I took this shortcut method & bricked my phone for several hours, before I got it working again!
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] majaczos:
Interesting. I got my P8 from UK and it shows there are no updates...
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GaT7:
What's your current full firmware version (GRA-xxxCxxxBxxx), have you altered the phone in anyway (unlocked, rooted, installed a custom ROM) & are you still in the UK?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] majaczos:
GRA-L09C432B370. Unlocked from the beginning, unrooted stock software, only OTA updates. Physically I'm not in the UK at the moment but changing the language and region to English/UK didn't help.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GaT7:
Ok majaczos, in that case I'd suggest trying every few days - you will get it eventually.

Also, try via the HiCare app in two separate places:

HiCare > Service tab > OS update early adopters

HiCare > Me tab > Check for updates
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] majaczos:
I'll have to wait. Your suggestion simply means signing in for a testing program. I don't want to test beta software with all the bugs.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NandorHUN:
Ok, so I need to put the "UPDATE.APP" in sdcard/dload/

But what should I do with the other files and folders like "system" "cust" and "META-INF" where should I put them?

Thanks.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GaT7:
Don't be silly - I'm not suggesting to do anything of the kind! As you saw in the screenshot of previous post of mine (in a thread where you subsequently posted in yourself), the next official update after B370 is B382 - the HiCare app at times offers these before the standard Settings > Update path. This is from past experience of other updates on previous Huawei phones as well. In other words, you won't be installing any beta software - not this time anyway.

As you have a non-stock ROM installed, I'd recommend not updating to this. Let the developer make a new ROM based on B382, then install that.

But if you want to try anyway, first use TWRP to make a nandroid backup. This is so if anything goes wrong (bootloop, etc), you can easily restore the backup & have a fully functioning phone in a few minutes.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NandorHUN:
I do not care much about the updates, the reason I want to go back because this ROM was kind of slow for me. It is full of features for sure, but I would like to have something more simple and faster.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] GaT7:
In that case, I think you need to unroot & flash the stock recovery image of the original Huawei ROM you were on before you installed fRomFuture (or any other custom ROM).

By doing this (i.e. flashing stock recovery), you'll be replacing TWRP with Huawei's original stock recovery.

Once you are back on stock recovery, you can install the full official Huawei firmware meant for your specific model & update from there as required (manually or via OTA). Do you remember which version of the original Huawei ROM you were on? You will ideally need to know the full build version - something in this format GRA-xxxxCxxxBxxx or similar.
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] madzo:
I just received the update and I'm uploading it to google drive, shortly i will post the link. It's unbranded rom for those who need to know, the update is 244MB. Here it is https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Xbwa8B1qEFZDNKM2RxM0VONVk/view?usp=drivesdk
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] klikar097:
And which version you had before? 380 or 370?
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] madzo:
I was on b370
[Huawei P8 Guides, News, & Discussion] majaczos:
Updating the HiCare app and agreeing for " OS update early adopters" means that you'll receive test versions of software. Not as a part of beta tests but these will be no OTA releases. Many people who updated this app previously got B313 Marshmallow while this version never was final.

PS. Never mind, I just got B382.

I can not use fastboot on my pc with Windows 10 to flash something on my Nexus 5X.

I've installed Ubuntu and adb/fastbook works correctly. With Ubuntu I've installed TWRP and SuperSU.

On Windows 10:

- Adb works.

- I've Android Studio with the latest platform-tools.

- I've tried with 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3.

- I've tried with this answer.

- I've already removed all usb-driver (as Nexus Root Toolkit suggest) and retry all.

What can I do?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
Let windows download the fastboot drivers from the network.

boot into fastboot, connect to pc

open up

win-r

devmgmt.msc

right click the 5x device and search network for drivers (or wherever that option is)

It'll come it with something like marshall london bootloader interface. That is fine, it works, it is for different phone that is also android based. The bootloader interface is the same.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stmims1124:
I had the very same problem when I first received my 5X. I tried every damn think on to get Windows 10 to see the device, including all listed here and manually installing the drivers downloaded from Google and various other sites. Installed various Windows 10 packages. Even LG driver packages. I believe the issue lies in Windows 10 and I think perhaps maybe compounded by other drivers installed on the computer. I'm willing to bet it would work just fine on 7 (did on every machine I tried). Eventually adb and fastboot magically started working but I still could not use MTP. The ONLY thing that got it working was, strangely enough, a reinstall of Windows 10 (chose to kept files/documents) and then updating with the Anniversary Update). I know that is like the LEAST desirable option.

Windows 10 is really just not great for this sort of thing.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
I don't know if google fixed it, but the 11.0 Google USB drivers don't have the fastboot USB IDs for the 5x but most people wouldn't notice because win10 is probably configured to get drivers automatically from net.

I noticed because I don't have that enabled.

On a win10 box that is configured to get drivers from net, for 5x, adb, mtp, and fastboot work without installing any extra drivers.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stmims1124:
Yeah, that's exactly how it's worked every other android device I've owned too-only had issues with this device and this particular Windows 10 machine. This machine is configured to get drivers automatically, but for whatever reason I just couldn't get this to work. Of course, this was just my experience but there have defintiely been other folks out there with similar (maybe not exactly the same) problems. It was infuriating!

I can't really comment intelligently regarding what Google may have done to fix this. I'm shaking my head to hear that their drivers for Nexus devices is missing the fastboot USB ID's for a Nexus phone lol
