FRD-L09, Romania, it seems that Nougat is available, had it for a couple of hours now. Awesome interface, I haven't had any problems so far, but will keep you posted :D

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] takichiman:
Frd-l04 here, still no nougat, even in the hicare app. :/
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] i2000s:
Hey, Albuquerque, too! FRD-L04, not yet hit it.

I guess the Mainstream rollout routine is East Asia (Jan 16th)-->Europe (rumored on Jan 22nd)-->South/Southeast Asia-->North America/Elsewhere on the globe (starting Feb). There is some rumor in previous posts that the world rollout date is Feb 18th, which I am not sure if this is true. But considering the update takes 2.27GB to download and it's a complete major update, it's understandable that it will take some time to reduce the burden on the servers and to carefully sort out/collect hidden bugs for the next cycle.

Of course, people in the beta program can upgrade to EMUI 5.0 through HiCare much earlier than the rest mainstream folks.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] O.a.T.:
Yup, aware of all that. I said I would give it till Feb 1, so when that didn't happen, I 'Charles'ed this morning to 360. No problems so far, and seems to run like a champ! :)

No TWRP

In order to get the OTA, do I need to uninstall TWRP and relock my bootloader
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dominikrod:
You'll get the OTA notice for the update but you won't be able to flash it without the stock recovery. About having the phone unlocked I'm still to finding out the answer for that one myself.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Levi1vargas:
Got tired of waiting so decided to do the Charles method. Everything worked out well and I'm now on nougat with EMUI 5.0.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] :
I can update to B360 using HiCare but I'm a little bit scared to do the jump since they recommend wiping (which I'm going to do)

So I'm probably going to wait until the full version of EMUI 5 comes out because I don't want to wipe twice (Annoying having to reinstall certain apps)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] faeArai:
I got my nougat update yesterday on my european device. No wipe was needed and no data were lost after the update. I have had to go through that hicare application though.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Arfy34:
Hi!

I think that I'm in a particular case.

I received the B360 update there was 2 weeks ago through the HiCare App. When I installed the update, there was written (and there is) written that I'm on NRD90M test-keys (I imagine that it is BETA version).

A bit weird.

And when I go back into HiCare app, it says that there isn't any new update.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Alok Bajaj:

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Saythis:
Huawei said February, not the first week of February, not the last week of February... ALL of February. So be patient and you'll get the OTA eventually. Acting like a child throwing a tantrum won't get you the OTA lol
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] droidboy29:
I love how these companies launch phones with the previous version of Android in the first place and then only support one major Android update. If a phone comes out it should come with the latest version of Android and then the company should support the next major Android update. Like there is no reason this phone shouldn't have launched with 7.0 especially since Huawei already had phones out with 7.0
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] 09dgceph:
So after tweeting Honor USA 3 times they answered me to say that there is no official word on US rollout of EMUI 5. Just FYI. I'll try to be patient.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] KazuhiraDokky:
Why don't you guys go through HiCare? I got the update from there on my Europe model. And B360 is the Nougat update I got
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] johnhux7:
I have been taking on FB with an Honor rep and according to them android 7 still hasn't been released !!

What to make of this I don't know coz there are clearly loads of us on here that already have it.

Sounds like they either don't know what they after doing or there are more released to come.

I see on the MT firmware finder that there is another 360 release that is under 300MB and the change log says that's it's to fix battery issues as well as others.

R they still playing about with it before releasing it ?

If they was doing this I would have thought that they would have done this with the beta group first.

I was on the beta group but when I look at my account it says that the project is finished.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] 09dgceph:
HiCare doesn't work in all regions.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Alok Bajaj:
I asked Huawei India to upload Nougat firmware on their support website. They said Nougat update has rolled already in India but I still haven't got it. Maybe they'll upload. :fingers-crossed:
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Maverick Honor:
Chatted with India customer care today, they clarified that what is ready is the beta version for India and they don't have the ETA for stable version, though they said it will be available 'soon'.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] i2000s:
If you can read Chinese, there have been a lot of posts, I think, by beta testers with Nougat 7.1 and 7.2 on their forum: http://club.huawei.com/forum-2404-1.html

I also find ROMs modified based on B370! Like this one: http://club.huawei.com/thread-11942291-1-2.html

On the other hands, the official forum in the US market with club-us.hihonor.com has been much inactive recently. It is a dramatic contrast even compared with the Indian market forum club.hihonor.com/in, where progress and discussions are actively posted every day. Based on the posts I saw, I have the following guess:

1. The beta test group in the global market may be shrinking and left behind from the Chinese test groups. Therefore, people from Huawei may be more focusing on working with the Chinese beta test groups rather than people from other regions who should only need to sort out the easier portion of localization issues. I have found a lot of available Themes and Apps for EMUI 5 in the Chinese forum, but not that many here on xda or other app stores or forums "aboard". The HiCloud service is not even available in the US market. Inside the Chinese forum, I have seen people discussing how they got benefited from the voice control installed on the phone or smart devices connected to Honor 8 and made by Huawei as a big Huawei eco-system based on their cloud storage & computing service. The Huawei Pay commonly used in China is not available in the US market at least. People pay Bus ticket using the phone's NFC function easily and position their parking cars using bluetooth in China, while these may be only available in China. I don't know if there are any political or marketing issues with the US market to make the difference, particularly, or with other international regions. There are a lot things to look forward to if these things can be migrated to the international markets in the near future. Personally, I'd like to hear about what's going on if you have some helpful information.

2. Whether the current release of B360 is so-called "beta" or "final", it doesn't matter that much. But there seems to be a following up release in cope with the latest Android 7.1 and 7.2 soon. Since the release of EMUI 5.0 in China code-named as B368 has been started on Jan 12 and is still undergo in China to date, I guess it will take a while for the users in other regions to receive the recent update as well as the coming next release.

Since software updates are always rolling down the way, I wouldn't worry about the slow release of EMUI 5 to me personally. If they can push more fixes to the next release, I'd be more than happy to accept the slow release rather than installing a creepy system which has major issues.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] endlight:
None here on an L04 in Canada unfortunately!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] johnhux7:
What your saying there makes allot of sense.

They would be testing more software in China as it's local and easier for then to test and get the feedback that they need.

I'm not worried about how long it takes to get new software rolled out, Samsung are only just getting thier N update as now..

I too would rather wait and get the finished update rather than a buggy N

One thing is though, I'm on the beta UK programme at least i was so have put my name down as happy to test but rather than use me for that my beta has just been stopped with no further word

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] KevinN206:
What don't you like so far? For me, I don't like the scroll up and down app switcher. The horizontal switcher was better although I think they needed to change the approach for Nougat's split screen. And the icons with the new launcher seems overly large.

Obviously, some people have received the OTA update. AFAIK, it's 30k/batch for the release. Eventually, it will roll out to everyone hopefully by the end of this month.

Geez!

Nobody lied to you! You weren't promised that you personally would have it by the 13th. Geez! First they said it would roll out in February then later they gave us a date that they would start the roll out, and they did. They also said that it would be in batches and that everyone would have it by the end of February. If you are really that anxious to get it there are at least 2 documented ways in these forums that you can do so. Otherwise just chill.

https://twitter.com/Honor_USA/status/829759789299331072

It says release FROM 2/11, not on 2/11. As in, starting on the 11th, which was true. They followed up with Tweets that say the time frame is 2/11-2/17. You weren't lied to, and again, every phone manufacturer releases in batches. You'll get it soon. No need to insult others.

FRD-L04 yes i have the update today :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] bornonthestage:
I have the b360 version on FRD-L04 and I absolutely love it, it's so much better than Android 6.0. the notification management is so much better and quick reply is so useful, I love pairing it with Nova launcher prime and using the nougat icon pack it makes it feel so much more stock and I actually like the notification shade better than stock 7.0. tbh I never thought I'd like an EMUI version better than stock, I just wish the lockscreen was more stock that's my only complaint. Other than that it's absolutely amazing

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] D1Chung:
I have the FRD-L04 with Nougat and updated to EMUI 5.0 OTA.

Been using this update for 3 days now. So far, I have this hate/love relationship with it.

Changes that I like:

-Allows built in call recording (in EMUI 4.1, any third party app wasnt able to successfully record calls and even if it did, the other end was very very low in volume)

-App drawer

-Pedometer on lock screen

Changes that I dislike/hate:

-Notifications when pulled down, won't show more than 1 line. For example, if someone messaged me on messenger or whatsapp, I can only see ONE line of text vs before where I can pinch and drag down to see at least 4 or 5 lines of text.

-system apps are now white in the background. For example clock, voice recorder, calculator now have a "light" background where as before it was a black/dark background. And there is no way to change it.

-notification icons do not show on status bar when lock screen is on, you must unlock phone to see this.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] toth42:
Seriously?! So I can no longer preview the 3 latest emails, or a 2-line text in the pull down? This borders on dealbreaker for me, I use it constantly, all day. Does it go for all apps, including SMS? What about the previews on the lock-screen?

EDIT:

This screenshot shows atleast 3 lines from instagram:

From this article: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/140...gems-and-problem-fixes-for-huawei-s-mobile-os

EDIT AGAIN:

And this article states:

"In EMUI 5.0, the same notifications reminder cards are stacked to save space. If you tap on the notification, it will expand and quickly reply without having to open the app."

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Carlito17_2000:
I have the FRD-LO4 model and it's fine so far. On screen time isn't great, but I can't say there is a definitive problem. I only used the phone for a few days before the update. So I don't really have much experience to compare the new OS with.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] faeArai:
Don't know, I get max 7hr SOT and 24hr standby. Or nearly 48hr of standby when I don't use my phone.

Mostly people have some ****ty apps installed. Or Google updates play services to a buggy version that will waste battery. EMUI 5 is pretty okish.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] johnhux7:
I agree.

I have good battery life in my phone.

I have been running EMUI 5 for a few months now as I was on the beta.

I get a full day every day when making full use of the phone.

If I was to use it more sparingly I think it would go for 2/3 days no problem.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] faeArai:

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] knives of ice:
has anyone else had this annoying warning overlay come on your screen warning you about placing your hand over the earpiece? from memory i think that is what it says. it tells you to press power and back to get rid of the warning, but i have my navigation bar hidden through the build prop edit so there is no way for me to get rid of this aside from turning off my phone, and sometimes that won't get rid of it when turning back on.

anyone know the app or setting i can change so i can never see the message again?

i tried turning my nav buttons back on but sadly i don't know the exact sequence to make the error pop back up.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Step666:
I've had this pop up a couple of times.

As best I can tell, it appears to be caused by unlocking the phone while covering the upper part of the screen but I can't deliberately make it appear, so I maybe wrong.

I was fairly certain it was one of the volume keys that's supposed to permanently disable whatever the warning is but I don't know if following the instructions has worked or not.
