I've got the Honor 5X - you have questions - fire away!

[Anubhav Nagpal]

Hi guys, first AC post for me. I've recently moved to Android and chose Honor 5X to do so. However, I'm trying to figure out if there's a way a contact could be prioritised so it bypasses the system notifications? I'd like my family's calls, texts, WhatsApp messages to buzz even though the phone is on silent. Priority notifications aren't what I'm looking at as they don't solve this issue for me. I could do this on BlackBerry 10.

The sound quality with stereo speakers is good..the voice is clearly audible and clear.

Battery life

Way better than many phone in the segment. seems only redmi note 3 can beat this at the moment in the same bracket.
easily getting 5+ hours of SOT with heavy usage (gaming of more than 1.5-2 hours). battery easily lasts 1.2/1.3 days with single charge. standby battery is very good.

Having had some issues at work, with some huawei devices... Does this one support full encryption of internal and SD cards?

Its a security requirement for devices where I work

how Can I use Flash memory in the honor 5x

Does anyone have any idea on how to clean up the "Miscellaneous" under Storage setting? Mine is showing more than 2GB, and it doesn't seem like I can do anything with those files?
Your help would be greatly appreciated!

yes it does support encryption.

 

[shashank1320]

this could be anything like a big file or anything which are not categorized as app, music, image, videos etc. it could be like zip files for any ROM, any documents etc, or could be some file format which is not recognized by device, say if it only supports .mp4 format and you have files with .mkv, .flv etc n so on. it could also be a thumbnail of images in your gallery (yeah it can be of higher MBs or even can of GB size if you have huge number of images or videos) you can simply ignore this miscellaneous. if you using SD card then select your default location as SD card and reboot as I can see your app size is more than 7GBs and you may ran into space issue.

currently OTG is not supported, lets see if they provide this by any chance with software optimization in marshmallow.

Thanks a lot. I did set my default storage to SD card... I am going to try moving app to the SD card then. Thanks!
