[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanraven:
I like how we can roll back now! ??? Just in case!
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] lellolellolello:
Guys in the beta was absent the performance mode in the battery menu. Someone is using it? It drains battery?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] phorenzik:
I'm using performance mode. It doesn't seem to have much (if any) battery drain over the regular mode.

Playing intensive games probably drains more battery, but everyday stuff like emails/internet/twitter doesn't seem to have any impact.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] maxo3000:
​

How did you get this option please?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] spityu85hun:
HiSuite not support Honor Play software restoring...you can rollback after update on phone(in theory)
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] maxo3000:
I believe no way to roll back on phone but the screen shot he provided he can do that via HiSuite! Check his post
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanraven:
Search for update via HiSuit and it should have the option to roll back to previous version.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] spityu85hun:
i no it say that hisuite can't rollback oreo from pie... i it say hisuite can not unbrick,reflash,restore phone software...

i can't test rollback process, i not received pie... :rolleyes:
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanraven:
Then why would you want to try roll back to Oreo if you're already on Oreo.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] spityu85hun:
it was just a trial... HiSuite only 2 devices system recovery support... honor play not supported...
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanraven:
Works fine for me.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] spityu85hun:
what region? system recovery function not supported in hungary region!

i use latest hisuite version
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanraven:
UK, remember you can't roll back from the Beta version of PIE.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] spityu85hun:
no beta program in hungary country...

then it works for you because you are a beta program member... i not...
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] FaizanAliZia:
So those of us in the beta are we gonna get the stable OTA just like everyone else? And when they do?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanraven:
I'm not on the Beta I'm on official PIE build. What's version are you running? Post a screenshot.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] spityu85hun:
im on official latest oreo,8.2.0.132(C342GT)...

my hisuite not show developer section as at you...

my imei not approwed for pie update
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Buffy_crp:
I was on the beta till recently and received it's to 9.0.0.156(c432) on 24th so the ota is being pushed to beta participants you just have to wait till they push it in an upcoming wave I would assume.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanraven:
What exactly are you trying to do? I was on about downgrading from PIE to Oreo if you're on about updating from Oreo to PIE you're in the wrong thread I'm affraid.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] maxo3000:
As you are now on official Pie 156 - can you see this option to revert back on HiSuite please?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] spityu85hun:
curiosity:laugh:
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Buffy_crp:
I can confirm in hisuite there is an option when you select system update when it tells you no update available there is a little link for other version, click on that and you get option to revert.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] lellolellolello:
So you can rollback ahaha as i said...
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] manix01:
I can confirm that option in HiSuite.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] maxo3000:
Anyone got the update in MEA region? And who received it over the other regions do you have problems with it please?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] AsimRauf_44:
Nothing in Pakistan.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanraven:
Yes you can ?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Snickro:
I've received it via hisuite , there's no roll back option yet, no big changes from beta and battery still drains fast
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] AsimRauf_44:
When? Did you receive it? What's the build no?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] maxo3000:

Are you using honor play, with beta emui?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
You got beta pie or stable in India?

How is it?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] maxo3000:
Still on Oreo
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] maxo3000:
Got this reply from live support regard Pie update for honor Play
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] AsimRauf_44:
Hope we get the stable version by 1st week
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Sakshat Shinde:
Apparently some people are reporting getting a "stable" version of Android pie for the Indian version but it has a lot of bugs so... It's not the beta version for sure though.

(In India)
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Ratheesh6:
No, stable version. So far good. No issues. Since EMUI is on top. No major differences.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] maxo3000:
Do you have the option to revert back to Oreo using PC via HiSuite or it is for European version only?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Snickro:
5 days ago , C185 MEA region

Egypt, C185 MEA region
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] maxo3000:
Great - I am Egyptian too - would you please check if you have roll back option via PC software HiSuite?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Snickro:
menawar :) , unfortunately there's no roll back option via HiSuite
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Sakshat Shinde:
Honor is claiming that everyone would get the pie update by January 19 for the Indian model.

I would assume that this one is the stable build for sure and not the beta one.

Bnorak :) I have contacted live support yesterday and they said it is possible and even provided me with needed steps!!
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] irshad wani:
Got the android pie in India..

Here is the screenshot
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Snickro:
yea they said the same steps for me but there's no roll back from HiSuite as they said

[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Psierra117:
In Germany i got the Update tonight from Pie Beta to Pie 156 :cool:
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] BLiapis:
Which is the latest guys, 302 or 156? And are those stable or betas? How can you tell the difference?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Deji21:
I have a 9.0.0.157 The performance mode option is not in the battery settings. Is this normal or am I screwed till a next update? Also I don't have the rollback option in Hisuite. Any help would be highly appreciated.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] phorenzik:
What country are you in?

When did it update to 157?

Is Widevine Level 1 in the 157 build?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Deji21:
Hi, here's a screenshot from Dev check. To answer your inquiries, build date says December 2018. Widevine is still at L3. Country: Philippines. You can additionally see the build version from the screenshot
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] klpex16:
May I know how you updated to 9.0.0.157? Also from the Philippines, but my device is stuck at 9.0.0.156, patch 1.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Deji21:
Well. I just hit that software update button and poof 157. Try requesting an update through hicare too. But performance mode in battery settings does not appear. If you care about your gaming, don't update to 157. Widevine doesn't change in security level anyways.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Jsmulla:
Stable
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] iamreason7:
Got the update in the Philippines as well.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] klpex16:
Just updated to 9.0.0.157, region: Philippines. However, it seemed that doing so removed the effects of 9.0.0.156 patch 1. Basically, my SD Card, once again, could not be seen by other apps like MX Player.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] iamreason7:
Good thing there is this option. One of my game isn't compatible with Huawei's Android Pie and my belief is it'll gonna take them forever to fix the issue. I will try this option later.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] iamreason7:
I should have read this before I upgraded. now I'm screwed too. sad.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] AsimRauf_44:
Finally showing that update is now available for Middle East. Let's hope that MEA honor play will get it soon now
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] justwondering:
Currently running the official stable release that was sent out for everyone a week or two ago.......but I am finding the memory management is pretty aggressive, I have already set battery optimization and locked apps that I want running at all times etc.....................................BUT main question are the latest beta versions less aggressive ? as I am hoping Honor will release a official stable release to the general non beta public......or are the current beta roms just as aggressive with the memory management ?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Deji21:
Yeah, let's cry together.

So a patch update was added earlier this week and it still didn't address the performance mode issue.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] AsimRauf_44:
The EMUI 9.0 beta is very aggressive in RAM management. Kills games apps if they are in background for just more than a few seconds.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
Such aggressive memory management is very annoying, especially owing to the fact that it doesn't improve battery. Lol.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] justwondering:
That sucks, looks like I might need to go back to my oneplus 5T with 8gb ram, 4gb with Emui 9, either just isn't enough or Android pie is just very aggressive with the memory management, it seriously needs fixing.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] m4tt94:
On stock-ish Android Pie 4GB of ram is plenty. EMUI memory management is too aggressive.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] justwondering:
I hope they fix the issue soon though as the Honor Play offered my a excellent balance of price, screen size and features.

---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

Strangely though if I change the resolution on the phone to the 720p option, no memory issues.....
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] lellolellolello:
Use the performance mode, is better in ram management in this mode than the normal.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
I noticed the same
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] thinkharder:
I use performance mode, find it much less aggressive. Still does it from time to time though. Just needs a bit of a tweak and it will be fine. Device is generally better on 9 though, games seem smoother, if slightly slower overall, and it switches between apps better/faster.

You can't flash it. Huawei/phones don't have unlocked bootloaders.

yes and never can unlock bootloader after january patch, huawei permanently deactivated oem unlocking switch in deleper menu...

i have cor-l29 and installed jaunary update, i checked... honor play permanently unrootalbe after january patch...

What build are people on? I'm on 9.0.0.156 (c432) in the uk and haven't had an update since december. Is this experience the same as others with this model?

If this changes I will update. It seems quite bad that I'm still on a Nov security patch on a phone released like 6 months ago.

I'm on the same build mate.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] FaizanAliZia:

January security patch and Widevine Level 1 restored.

[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] kingofmb:
Same here, still on beta. :confused:
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] phorenzik:
Got this minor patch update yesterday.

Interestingly, my dad's Honor 9 lite got the March security update a couple of weeks ago and that device is stuck on EMUI 8.

It's crazy that the Play is a month behind on the security, but on newer EMUI.

There's no consistency with Honor at all. Everything seems random and badly thought out.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] iamreason7:
Performance mode is back on. 184 build. Yey!
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] abdulhalim7:
Which theme you're using?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] phorenzik:
Download the theme manager from Play Store and locate the Dark mode theme.

I've tried LOADS of dark themes and this is the only one that works 100% on the Honor Play. There are no conflicts at all with any of the UI elements.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] banaban:
Is there any other dark theme that fully work?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] phorenzik:
Not that I have found.

All of the others seem to mess up the dialler or other EMUI UI elements (white text on white backgrounds or dark text on dark backgrounds) Out of the dozens I've tried, this is the only one that is fine for everything.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] pja1985430:
There is the one called Dark EMUI 9 by Aurel. It is almost perfect. It gives Whatsapp a Dark Mode colour as well but some texts aren't clear though. I paid for it and it is quite cheap. This one linked by 'Phorenzik' is very good despite it's free.

[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Buffy_crp:
Just received 9.0.0.186 with march security in uk.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] banaban:
is it normal if I want from 9.0.0.184 to 9.0.0.187 without the 9.0.0.186 ?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] FarGuddu:
Just got the Pie update 9.0.0.181 (SP51C185E2R1P9) in Pakistan today after I put the SIM card for the first time in 5 months. Had I known this trick before, I would have got the update months ago. However, I had my doubts about this right from the word go, but never bothered trying it, and I finally tried it today and saw the update straight away.

So, all the guys in Pakistan who are still waiting for the update, please, put a SIM card in your phone and then check it!

EDIT: Got two small patches right after the big update and subsequently the March Security Patch which brought the software version to 9.0.0.188.

Guys I found the solution for the beta login failed, you have to change the region to UAE in Hicare, and then you must change the same region in Appgallery. Clear caches in both apps from the app settings, and boom login the Beta App.

[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] FarGuddu:
I was stuck on 8.0.0.131 for a long time. That day, I decided to put my SIM card in for the first time and that did the trick for me. Try going into the recovery mode and delete cache partition first and then do a factory reset. Then, try checking for updates with SIM card installed. Keep both mobile data and Wi-Fi on.

EMUI 9.1 beta rolls out to the Honor View 20, Honor Magic 2, Honor 7X/8X/9/10, Huawei P10, P20 Lite, Mate 20 Lite, and Nova 3/3i/2 in China.

https://www.xda-developers.com/emui-9dot1-beta/
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] pja1985430:
Why is Honor Play not included in this beta test ? It is designated to be a gaming smartphone while looking at the GPU Turbo 3.0 upgrade for more games in Android 9.1 Pie. In fact, Honor Play should be among the first on the list in that test to better understand how games respond to the GPU Turbo features.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Buffy_crp:
Other sites are reporting that the honor play is testing on the beta. And a believe the original post on Chinese forums confirmed this. Source. https://www.androidpit.com/huawei-honor-these-smartphones-get-emui-9-1
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] FaizanAliZia:
I have the same problem. Still stuck on the beta. Might be worth backing up and factory resetting the phone and then trying to update again. Because I'm beginning to feel that the update not coming is a bug on our phones rather than not being pushed by Huawei
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] AsimRauf_44:
But how is it possible that everyone on beta(MEA) has the same bug?
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] kingofmb:
