nougat update available!

[Marco Ella]

Were you on 320 or 360

B360

B360

Hmmm. Weird. I had those issues on B320 but once I got 360 they all went away.

There are some major bugs? I had problem with the back button (swipe down to expande notification pannell doesn't work until you reboot) and some minor bugs (that's why i downgraded to emui 4.1)

SmartKey has an issue. But I don't need a restart. I just press the fingerprint button once and after that it starts working. And this does not happen often, may be 1 or 2 times in the span of 3 days. So, certainly not severe for me.

What other bugs did you find?

One annoying thing is that, when you try to respond to notifications from lockscreen, say reply for a message or a tweet, it doesn't work. It just brings the keyboard but not the app, so its useless.

The point of the beta program is to report the bugs and wait for the update to let them know if it fixes the problem. The battery issues in particular have been dealt with very well.

I didn't find this problem, anyway another bug is the heat up problem when using camera for a while, it's not so hot, almost same of B131

Are you in the States?

I am, in the North East. Wife's phone purchased from Best Buy. Came home and upon starting up, it updated once. Then almost immediately after, the nougat update came in. Still nothing for me

I'm also in the north east haha . I hope I get it soon as well!

 

[Morty2264]

Hope you guys get it soon!

 

[krazyatom]

I still don't have update yet. Hopefully, it's not a long wait.

 

[Guytronic]

No update here as of today.
My Axon 7 just received nougat however so I can at least get a taste.

I was almost certain Honor would be quicker about this.
Ah well no big deal I guess.

 

[orangecroc]

Nice, the axon 7 update makes it daydream compatible too.

Same here, really looking forward to the update....

That is awesome!

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.

Thank you for sharing this! I guess we wait then.

I was told the same by them. I love this phone but I was told it would be updated for 24 months and I'm still on October security patch, not impressed so far with updates.

The Android update BS continues...
Still liking the phone quite a bit and hoping Huawei/Honor stands behind it.

Difficult to guess what the hold up is.
Best to wait for a fully functioning experience.

It is surprising that ZTE released nougat update after recently saying it won't be ready until March for the Axon 7. Their forums is filled with many bugs and seems like the MiFavour has not changed much. There are still issues like Android Pay doesn't work with fingerprint scanner, signal strength (WiFi especially).

Not to vent or troll, but I think EMUI is way better regardless of nougat or not. If you doubt me, use Axon 7 for few days, you will see for yourself. Specs alone doesnt make a great phone, the experience does.

I guess ZTE rushed to release the nougat.

Agreed! I'm not in any rush by any means - I'm okay to wait for the full working experience, as you've said.
