[X Style (Pure) General] ismithx:
pretty sure I'm gonna buy an Honor 8.... either that or wait till Prime day rolls around
[X Style (Pure) General] Bill720:
That's interesting

The Verizon V20 has an unlockable bootloader? If so, that's news to me.
[X Style (Pure) General] Curlyfry2121:
Was gonna get the honor 8 but I saw the LG G5 at Best buy for 300, very happy with it
[X Style (Pure) General] oliake:
Switched from X Pure to Oneplus 3 and now back to the X Pure again! I can't live without Moto display, stereo speaker, the big bright display and no camera bump etc etc...
[X Style (Pure) General] GreenMunky:
Unless the Moto X 4 is something spectacular, I'll likely be switching to the Pixel 2 around the end of this year.
[X Style (Pure) General] Bill720:
browner on the other side

My thoughts exactly. Once you get a taste of that brilliant LCD and all the fun Motorola features and coherent software and all the other perks, it's tough to go back. People always talk about switching off of the Pure Edition, but the reality is that the grass isn't really greener on the other side. In fact, in some cases, (as you discovered with the One Plus) it's even browner! :D
[X Style (Pure) General] aybarrap1:
Yep. That is why a new device will be a hard sell for me. This phone, with the exception of battery, has been outstanding. I could deal with a compromise or two, but finding anything suitable at the $350 or less price range is difficult. Midrange devices seen to compromise to much and I don't want to spend $500+ on a flagship.
[X Style (Pure) General] dboyrusky:
Switched to OnePlus 5 and love it. The sot is like double compared to Pure. LOL
[X Style (Pure) General] BackDaws:
I want the oneplus 5 by that screen issue has put me off, is your device effected with the jelly scroll problem?
[X Style (Pure) General] FireWire22:
Ok friends.. I have about $550 to spend on my replacement. I'm kinda in between the OP 5, and G6 atm... so what are everyone's thoughts on this and should I add any more possibilities to my list? I mainly use my phone for mobile gaming if that helps....
[X Style (Pure) General] tech_infinity:
I my opinion the G6 is much better in terms of camera, durability, screen and I don't think you'll mind any difference in performance if any between them
[X Style (Pure) General] ImagerieNumerique:
I was watching for a op5 because my op3 was really laggy and the battery was dead... But after seeing the problems occuring with the op5 I decided to wipe and install the latest LineageOS on it and change the battery.

I'm completely rediscovering my Moto X, it's ready for minimum 1 year ! :D

Finally I think it's stupid to change this phone now while it stills has one of the best APN, goods speakers and a beautiful 5.7" screen. On top of that with a new battery and Doze (LineageOS 14.1) the battery life is really correct :)
[X Style (Pure) General] anth0nymDROID:
Don't forget the extended warranty
[X Style (Pure) General] lukas77:
I like G6 design but after my issues with G4 (infamous bootloop problem) I don't trust LG, in the other hand I really like S8 look, just is too expensive atm, I'll wait what a bit for Xiaomi new note or Mi Mix. I'm disappointed by OP5 bezel.
[X Style (Pure) General] BackDaws:
have you seen the jelly scrolling on the op5 ? i couldnt cope with that :/
[X Style (Pure) General] Elsetro:
Probably a Mi6 or a OnePlus 5
[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
If you order one now you probably won't see it. At least the concensus is there was a certain manufacturing date that the screen was upside down, and ones after that don't have the issue. Supposedly if you take an S7 or S8 (similar AMOLED type screen) and turn it upside down it does the same thing.
[X Style (Pure) General] BackDaws:
One plus are now denying there's a problem and that some people's eyes are too sensitive ??? I heard theres nothing you can do and it's the way the phone was made, nothing to do now with the screen being put on upside down ?
[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
Eh, will see... It's only happening to a handful of users and only certain manufacturing dates. These things often start this way, we will see how how OP handles it going forward.
[X Style (Pure) General] BackDaws:
I hope so as I really like the oneplus 5 and would happily buy the 6gb ram version
[X Style (Pure) General] mikelebz:
I'll never buy a oneplus device again.... This is their typical customer service.... I was one of the first to receive a oneplus one. When I received it, it had a dead pixel (it was stuck bright green)... Contacted customer service and they made me send a picture of it.... Reasonable.... They then admitted to seeing the stuck pixel, but said " it is normal and shouldn't bother me that much"... Can't make this stuff up guys...
[X Style (Pure) General] FireWire22:
I ordered the 128/8GB version tonight and should have it by July 27th so I'll report back on the "jelly screen" when it arrives. Fingers crossed... and if worse comes to worse I'll have 15 days to send it back at least lol.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Neo XL:
After some question i made a list of links to all my wm6-themes. So they are easier to find.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] saifullah90:
hello guys, my sisters phone keep showing ADS when she at home page or even making a call . its poping op everytime she unlock the phone , ive done eveything expect factory reset . any help on how i remove these ads without a factroy reset
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] meyerweb:
These are most likely coming from some app that you installed. Try uninstalling any recently added apps. Unfortunately, you may have inadvertently installed some malware, in which case a factory reset may be the only fix.
[Honor 7 General] buongu:
Hey there, just a heads up for you guys.

If you check on Firmware Finder app, you will find a new firmware available, there's both an OTA incremental update (around 220mb) and the full 1.6gb package.

Personally I went with the latter, forced the update (volume up+down + power on buttton), and the installation went on smoothly and flawlessly.

Now the device is on EMUI 4.0.3, always MM of course, but the security patch is now April 2017 :D :D :D

about time!! :good:

anyway the change log was pretty short, basically just a bunch of enhancements to a few apps like mail, calendar... you can find it on Firmware Finder as well.
[Honor 7 General] csako:
I have a new function: "Eyesight protection" in the Settings.

Although the schedule doesn't seem to work...

Edit: yesterday evening it has turned on automatically... not sure why, but it's working now :D
[Honor 7 General] supervixen:
Installation error here on both update and full.
[Honor 7 General] ka-r-los:
One of promised Nougat features...
[Honor 7 General] lakistrike95:
One small hint, I cannot update via UPDATE.APP file so i updated it with fastboot with full package and huawei extractor.

Also SuperSU V2.62 doesn't work, but SuperSU v2.79 works, and recovery image is TWP v3.1.0.0.
[Honor 7 General] supervixen:
Well, for me, with update.app, it says that it does install and it goes all the way with "success" but after restart nothing changes, it's still B380.
[Honor 7 General] redzieu:
Hello.

How can I update my Honor 7? I'm stuck on B371 version. Update feature in settings app says "No updates".
[Honor 7 General] lakistrike95:
Download Firmware Finder, click on refresh button and you will get list with updates,download latest, put on sdcard into dload folder and then turn off the phone, press volume + and volume - at the same time and turn on phone, you will get update wizzard and update will start.

And when you download zip, unzip it to have update.app file and other files will be there, all that put in dload on sdcard, if there is no dload folder, make it.
[Honor 7 General] supervixen:
It went for me successfully (B380->B390) but i had to unpack full package and it went from update.app after rebooting with vol up+vol down+power. Same didn't work with update.app from OTA update pack (small one) and also didn't work with update.zip files (it tried but failed).

So, long story short - it worked only with update.app (moved to dload folder on sdcard) taken from full package zip.

And it was not worth waiting and updating as changes are so small that it hurts that it took them 6 months. They could at least enable multi window that is available on Honor 7 in other regions...
[Honor 7 General] redzieu:
Thanks! It worked.
[Honor 7 General] buongu:
yes... I guess the only reason for this update was providing us with the latest security patch... which I'm thankful for.

but this should tell us quite clearly that we don't need to expect much from the future. like we thought, development for this phone is over.
[Honor 7 General] supervixen:
It was all over the moment they couldn't tell us straight in the face that we won't get Nougat/EMUI5. I remember exactly how they (in mails from support) were trying to deal with that... Some said we will get updated, some said we will not. There was also an interview where some official was saying that even if some devices will not get EMUI5 users should not worry as EMUI4 will be still developed and get some features (we got now eye protecting filter which is like u fist in the face - we could get that thing long time ago as there are tons of apps doing same thing). Sure, there was EMUI4.1 (it featured a better organized camera app) but not for us. I agree, it's just a security patch, we have to live with all problems specific to EMUI4.0.x until we get new devices. Hopefully not from Huawei and Honor.
[Honor 7 General] thermalboyz:
anyone have full ROM link?
[Honor 7 General] kac222:
I have on my MEGA files:

B390 full rom
[Honor 7 General] thermalboyz:
Thanks [MENTION=4950368]kac222[/MENTION]
[Honor 7 General] lakistrike95:
Yes, v2.79 and twrp 3.1.0.0 :)
[Honor 7 General] axicom:
not worked for me:(
[Honor 7 General] supervixen:
As for eyes comfort - third party apps were killed from memory but that's biggest issue with EMUI and they didn't fixed it so having this feature built in might be useful. However, as someone already stated, you can set on and off hours for the filter but it doesn't work. It works only while being manually switched. What's the point of adding broken feature after 6 months after last update?

As for app twin feature - are you talking about split screen? There never was such option in PLK-L01C432 and they didn't add it with B390 (there was no B382, 386 and 388 for us, just B380 and now B390).
[Honor 7 General] csako:
I've edited my post today.
[Honor 7 General] supervixen:
I've set my hours yesterday long before it even should start and nothing happened when the time has come. So i guess it's safe to say it's somewhat buggy at least.
[Honor 7 General] supervixen:
Thanks for the info, had no idea there is such feature. I'm using App Cloner for that (but not for social media apps)
[Honor 7 General] EinBier:
Do I need to install stock recovery for this process or can I leave TWRP installed? Do I need to uninstall SuperSU first? Thanks
[Honor 7 General] securedigital:
Hi guys,

Can I update to B390 directly from B180?

I am having some issues with Push notifications with my actual stock B180 FW version.

Thanks,
[Honor 7 General] EinBier:
Did you used Huawei Multi Tool? Thanks
[Honor 7 General] Rapid81:
Anyone else has a link what's actually works and doesn't say at 50% that my limit is reached?
[Honor 7 General] kac222:
My link works fine,but you must have account on Mega and must use MegaSync for download.

Nadane z telefonu.....
[Honor 7 General] Wollu:
Yes. Stock recovery is needed if you want to update with 3 buttons pressed.

- Unzip the downloaded zip file

- put the UPDATE.APP into dload folder in sdcard

- shutdown the device

- press and hold vol - vol + and power button

- Wait until the update process begins.

Or use Huawei update extractor to push the system with cmd.

No need to unroot. The update will automatically remove the root once update finished.

Let it boot.

Flash twrp, mine 3.1.0

Flash the latest Supersu.zip, 2.62 will NOT work.

Profit.
[Honor 7 General] EinBier:
Do I have to download OTA or full OTA?

When I install just OTA it says update sucessfully installed but in the end I'm still running EMUI 4.0.1
[Honor 7 General] securedigital:
What did you used to flash it? Multi-Tool?

thank you guys
[Honor 7 General] EinBier:
Yup, I used multi-tool.
[Honor 7 General] Wollu:
I flash it with cmd. Got the recovery.img from Huawei update extractor.

Yes, the easiest way is Multi tool.

I use cmd because i was offline and have not downloaded the recovery.img with multi tool.

Good luck, dude.
[Honor 7 General] EinBier:
So I installed just the OTA App and not the full package and my device went totally crazy. It said that there's no memory left and I can't copy any files to intern storage. Well I've to factory reset now...

Edit: Papsi just released new code for his ROM. I'll give it a try later if Huawei keep running my device crazy.

Edit 2: It seems that Huawei's Backup App has created 4 gb. of backup files... After deleting them my apps didn't run propably. What a fail :confused:
[Honor 7 General] securedigital:
Thank you all guys. It worked like a charm (new firmware + twrp + root). The push notifications issues are gone :)

Good job!
[Honor 7 General] EinBier:
After installing FULL OTA and after factory reset everything works just fine.
[Honor 7 General] Dorian.Stein:
Hey Bro, and how did you flashed your plk to the chinese version? could you please provide the information, because i'd like to try :laugh:
[Honor 7 General] lakistrike95:
For me it is 2.79, flash it again, put recovery, boot and system.img via fastboot and then install twrp 3.1.0.0 and flash v2.79, i did it like that and it is working.
[Honor 7 General] EinBier:
Can you share a for link SuperSU please? Thanks

[Honor 7 General] ffxmadman:
Wow finally there has been an update albeit it's a minor one. I'm using C636 Malaysia region, Is there a way for this update to work for me? ?
[Honor 7 General] supervixen:
AFAIK it was possible to install C185 update on C432 so probably you can do same thing using C432 update file. It will change your region to C432.
[Honor 7 General] EinBier:
The aspect I don't understand is that I'm using PLK-L01 with EU ROM (and it was always EU B-Series) so the question is why does it work on others but not on my device? When I try to install SU v2.79 on B390 it boots up for 5 minutes an nothing changes...

UPDATE: After installing systemless SuperSU everything works super fine. Thanks a lot!
[Honor 7 General] ffxmadman:
I tried to install the C432 version on my C636 using the Vol+ and - with power button but it failed at the "Installing Update" phase at 5%.
[Honor 7 General] supervixen:
Have you tried with update.app (unpacked from full pack, not small ota) file placed in dload folder?
[Honor 7 General] ffxmadman:
Yep I did that too ?
[Honor 7 General] lakistrike95:
Did you root you phone?
[Honor 7 General] ffxmadman:
Nope it's all stock recovery with no root
[Honor 7 General] lakistrike95:
I also have a problem with update, just with fastboot it is working upgrade. I didn't find any other way to upgrade it. But you need to unlock bootloader for that action, that will avoid warranty.
[Honor 7 General] ponemania82:
someone has already updated, you can give us information about tuning kernel and battery consumption?
[Honor 7 General] fabfabio:
I don't have information about kernel tuning; battery consumption seems to be a little better then before.

A little bug has been solved: on meteo default app geolocalization is working fine: on previous release, on my phone, when I tried to get weather forecast for my position I always received an error.

[Honor 7 General] ffxmadman:
I found an update for my region c636 but I can't download it from the firmware finder app. I can't also get any link from it to download wit a browser. How can we get a link to download it?

It's odd that the phone updater also shows no visible update. This would be the first update since September last year ?
[Honor 7 General] marko0205:
Me too, someone can share the file ota?
[Honor 7 General] Largamelion:
I'm curious why these files are all over the internet but not available from OTA, not even in the Hi-Care app which is supposed to give you updates faster. I'm also really disappointed that it's been two months since they promised an update and that it barely adds anything new. The only thing I was looking forward to, was split screen for apps but apparently that's not even included.

This is my first and last Honor phone. It's an amazing device but Honor is a ****e company for giving such poor software support and spreading lies. The 5X is still listed in their new policy (2 years Android updates, 3rd year security updates) but they haven't even confirmed Nougat for it and it barely gets any updates.
[Honor 7 General] marko0205:
Yeah Honor support sucks... Anyway i Just solved: download firmware Finder for Windows
[Honor 7 General] ffxmadman:
Thanks! Did just that! ?
[Honor 7 General] pipipde:
Can anyone tell me what the difference between G939 and G753 is?

Btw: I've successfully installed the OTA update (manually downloaded) but my honor still says it's opperating with B380 (boot kernel version says b390 tho). I'll try again with the full update...
[Honor 7 General] Szumy:
I flashed the full ROM eand everything works fine. Except I couldn't download it to my phone directly. I had to download it first to my PC
[Honor 7 General] Zafiel:
Most important question for those who already instaled and checked this update.

Did they finally fixed notifications problem ???!!!
[Honor 7 General] Gsavas:
Do you mean lock screen notifications? No, half of them still don't work.
[Honor 7 General] Largamelion:
I don't have any issues with notifications on B380, everything has been working fine for the past year or so. Not sure about lock screen notifications since I have been using NiLS since I bought the Honor 7.
[Honor 7 General] Gsavas:
Most apps' multimedia controls don't work from the lock screen, even though they are shown as notifications in the status bar. It seems that only select few popular apps work (like spotify).
[Honor 7 General] TarekZeghost:
i had notification problem in every previous firmware exc b180 lollipop and i can confirm. it is fixed for 3 days now except lock screen notifications still crap as always
[Honor 7 General] Zafiel:
For me if something doesn't show it doesn't show at all. No matter where in status bar or on the lock screen.

Sometimes notifications shows up with a huge delay. Looks like some other action on the phone pushes them up. It's totally random.

Im going to check this app but highly doubt it will change anything.

On the side note. We living in XXI century. In age of communication. And what we receive ? A phone which doesn't fully support a push up notifications from messengers and any other apps. Its a total joke. I had a few phones and i never had such issues. It's definitely my first and last Huawei(Honor) phone. When a huge company ignore a well known issue for months all i can do is to vote with my wallet in the future.
[Honor 7 General] supervixen:
Last update didn't fixed ANY of major issues we're facing since the beginning. Apps are still being closed, there are still same problems with notifications. I still can't use Endomondo or any other GPS tracking software as the phone "thinks" those apps are using too much battery and kill them sooner or later. There are issues with music players and tools that should stay in memory to work correctly.

I don't think they (Huawei and Honor) even cared to try and fix those issues. They are fundamental and it would take too much time. They tried (and failed) to fix it in EMUI5 but EMUI4 is pretty much dead already. And as we are not going to get EMUI5 - which, as i said doesn't fix those issues - it's not worth waiting for the fixes.

There's only one way to deal with those problems - get a new phone, avoid Huawei and Honor. I've had Moto G (1st gen one with 1GB of RAM) and never had such issues but that was clean Android without EMUI bloatware. EMUI4.0.3 is a joke played on us - who bought flagship phone from a company that have "honor" in it's name. A joke.
[Honor 7 General] Zafiel:
Are you trying to say that every device with EMUI got same issues?
[Honor 7 General] supervixen:
Zafiel, yes - i like to read reviews but also comments to them and discussions as reviews tend to be superficial or shallow if you know what i mean (english is not my first language). They tend to be hyped about big features like new camera, screen etc. but real usage is different story. What i've seen on discussion and support forums (for example about Strava or Endomondo) EMUI5 still have the same issues with apps being killed without a reason. Same with notifications - you simply will not get some of them until you open the app which is ridiculous for a flagship with still pretty good specs. Same thing on Reddit. Thing is not many users have oportunity to run on such issues because when you use your phone day to day, shoot photo or two, put them on Fb etc. you might not even notice that there's something wrong. Power users will encounter those problems but you don't have to be power user. Here in Poland Huawei phones are advertised by a sport star (footballer Robert Lewandowski) - he probably didn't even had occasion to use something like Endomondo during training, running...)
[Honor 7 General] Largamelion:
If your apps are getting closed in the background, you did not configure them correctly. I have about 10 to 15 apps locked and they never get closed, they all have perfectly working notifications.

I have one app I use for music (Blackplayer) and it does not give me lock screen controls even when active in the status bar. I'm not sure if it's supposed to though, I'll look into that.
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
found a PLK-L01C432B390 link there -> klick

security level 1. April 2017!
[Honor 7 General] supervixen:
I did in every possible way. I've disable battery optimizations, protected them in battery manager and even locked them in multitask window (don't know how it's named - under rightbutton in navbar) Don't get me wrong, but i know what i'm writing. I have correspondence with Endomondo support and they also know the issue with Huawei and Honor phones. It's all over the net.
[Honor 7 General] Largamelion:
That does indeed sound like you know what you're talking about :). I follow the same process for every app I want to receive notifications from and so far it works fine. I did have issues on earlier firmwares, but since a factory reset after my upgrade to MM and using the above setup, all notifications work fine for the apps that I use. I don't use either Endomondo or Strava though.

Blackplayer works fine when playing music in the background, it never gets killed. I don't have lock screen controls though and this is what I found in their FAQ:

I have gone through all settings but cannot get them to show.
[Honor 7 General] erayrafet:
Please try this adb command. I've used it on my P8 with EMUI 4.0.1 and 4.0.3 to enable media controls for BlackPlayer EX and it works. You should replace the package name with the one you want. For BlackPlayer EX it is "com.kodarkooperativet.blackplayerex"

adb shell settings put system white_music_for_keyguard com.xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxx
[Honor 7 General] Icetea:
I think, the B390 version i had found seems to be a original file.

I had flashed it using the original update function without problems onto my Honor 7 phone and it works as expected.

Battery drain ~1% during the night (9h / wlan; data; sync; BT: =off!)
