Hi, I own a nexus 5 since February and the last 2 months it sometimes reboots itself or gets stuck in a bootloop. I can fix it most of the times by simply plugging it into my pc or a power source but it is quit annoying while i'm traveling.
- I run the latest franco kernel build
- I'm rooted on 4.4.4
- I'm using xposed for some small statusbar tweaks.
The problem existed before I flashed franco as a kernel so I don't think that would cause the problem.
Does anyone have experience with this problem?
Sometimes power button does get stuck buy also sometimes software causes issue.
Try and flash back to stock. If it still occurs, likely its hardware. If not, software

Going to try that tomorrow morning!
if it's hardware, flash back to stock, unroot, and lock bootloader. Call google, they'll have a new phone out to you the next day. then you just have to ship yours back. very speedy!

I've seen a lot of N5 phones with a powerbutton problem, mine included. I've been so stupid to tell on the phone I opened my back to try to fix it myself, and now I have to buy a new nexus 5. I did eventually buy a new one but it has a yellow screen and now I have to RMA it. Not really pleased with the N5 quality anymore..
Don't want anything bigger than 5 inch, and don't feel like buying non-stock phones. So I have to buy it again, even though I fear it's another 400 euro down the drain in a year. sigh...
Would try iphone 6, but 800 euro is just too much :/

Something like samsung with touchwiz and physical and capacitive buttons. Or htc with a big logo bar taking screen estate and sense. Motorola is ok, as it it close to stock. Sony is meh because of software and not that big of a community.
So apple is also a stock like experience with large community, but don't feel like spending a huge amount of money on a phone.
But I've just went on another nexus 5 forum and also the latest post is about a sensitive power button. Every nexus 5 forum I go to has a lot of power button issues in the top posts. Seems like the N5's lifespan is just about a year. And that holds me back from buying a new nexus 5. Because even though it's only 400 euro here, if it breaks after a year I could get a phone of 800 euro and hold it for 2 years, and then sell it...

Guys,
I haven't updated my H8 to Nougat because of the bugs with EMUI5.
Are the issues fixed? Are there still issues? Is so what are they?
Can somebody provide a honest opinion. Because the current EMUI4.1 is so good and i don't want to regret the upgrade. Thanks.
Emui 5 is far better than emui 4.1,but the battery backup is soon good in emui4.1

I heard there was a gyroscope issue. And what about performance and battery. Is there slowness in overall user experience?

All are good
If you're a heavy user and value battery efficiency more than having the latest Android firmware, then don't upgrade. I went back to EMUI4. 1 a week ago due to excessive battery drainage in EMUI5.
I used Nougat since it became available for the H8 and battery life was less than in MM and even worst with the latest update for the US version (B385). My screen on time went from 6 hours to barely 4 hours.
Also having to recharge my phone 3 to 4 times in a day was not worth it staying with EMUI5. I even rebranded my phone to use the L19's firmware (B389) but it was the same story with the battery in addition to loosing VoLTE and band 12.
But don't get me wrong, I do like the interface updates and the improvements in performance in Nougat. It's just that for me battery is more important.
Zero issues in B389, battery a tad better the MM versions. Never charge device more than 1x/day, sometimes 1x/1.5 day.

Thanks. Mine is Indian version. I'm a heavy user and battery life does matter to me. I was so tempted to press the update button but pulling myself out of it. I already get only 4.5 to 5 hours on heavy usage. So will skip the upgrade then. Thanks again!

You mean nougat update for FRDL02 has no battery issues? But at top of this thread you also mentioned this :
"Emui 5 is far better than emui 4.1,but the battery backup is soon good in EMUI4.1"

Use i am also saying that emui 4.1 sucks less compared to 5.0 . Emui 4.1 is the best for battery but we want the new version of Android should have to leave the old one
Also in emui 5.0:
In lockscreen clean up disable apps to run in back ground . U can also get 6+
Rommco05 said:
Anyway if compare look betwen EMUI4 and EMUI5, emui5 is much better, looks a bit more stable and fast. Google security patches is newest how on emui4 and in future if want upgrade to Andoid O (hopefuly we got it) u will must anyway upgrade first to emui5 Nougat. Emui5 have lot of settings which can help improve battery life

I can't get security patches on MM Emui 4 unless I upgrade and that's sad. But the performance with EMUI 4 on H8 is truly amazing. I have never had a single instance of lag or slowness in the two months I have had this. Truly flagship device. Buttery smooth and I'm thoroughly enjpyong this beauty. I'm afraid this will not be the case once I upgrade. So let me stay with this till we get the news on Android O.

There are still some minor bugs, which you will never notice (maybe). But I would like to say its 96% stable. :fingers-crossed:

Personally, I wouldn't touch the EMUI 5 and Android 7 combination.
I did the upgrade long time ago (I think it was B360, and it was done automatically; I just had to touch a button that said "Upgrade", and kept prompting me for two weeks).
Battery had to be recharged every 2 hours, even without using the phone. Temperature was so hot that I had to put the phone in the refrigerator, honestly.
Many essential application were totally messed up or became useless, including the camera software.
Following a Huawie customer service rep in live communication to go back to EMUI 4.1 and Android 6 resulted in bricking the phone.
I sent it to their service center in Texas (per their instructions).
They found that the excessive heat had caused plenty of internal component deterioration, so it was useless to unbrick it and send it back.
Since it was still under warranty, they sent me a new one (with EMUI 4.1 and Android 6).
Service was fast and excellent.
I became a happy camper again.
EMUI 5 is most likely better than 4.1, but the problem of installing it is that you must install Android 7 as well.
I'm sure Android 7 is better and more advanced than 6, but it is not optimized for the Honor 8.
I would NOT touch that combination of EMUI 5 and Android 7 on the Honor 8 with a 100 foot pole!!
From what I understand, EMUI 5.1 is released.
That is my experience, and it is up to you if you decide to upgrade.

Thanks. I have made up my mind to stay with EMUI4.1 based on the inputs on this thread and yours add up to the list. When it comes to Android I always believe a phone works best only out of the box and any upgrade takes it a step back. I have had this experience with a lot of devices. So i think it's best to stay with the version that comes out of the box if you want to really enjoy the device. Because this is the version that was tested/ optimized/advertised by the manufacturer. Just my opinion... :good:

Maybe it happened with just you. You cannot blame EMUI for the trouble. Yeah I admit that it had some bugs at the beginning. Almost all the Android Phones get them at the beginning, even iOS. An year or two ago I had Galaxy Grand Prime and it didn't boot up after it's lollipop/marshmallow update. So I sent it to Samsung and they fixed it. @Cool_Man99 same as they fixed yours. And it's totally functional even today. Well my mom is using that now. And yeah maybe you faced the problem with your device unnecessary heating, so did I. My device also used to get hot while listening to music at night or maybe while i am in school. Also i was not able to install any 3rd party apps in it. As much as I remember they released some patches and I swear now there are no issues that I am facing. Ooh yeah, I never had the battery draining issue, ever. You can ask other people on the forum too if all of them faced issues like you. ?
@bala1701 maybe you did set your mind to stay but you can just give EMUI 5 a try. Then if you think you are having any issues you can just roolback. It's not that hard.

Yes sure I will definitely give it a try in the future. But as of now I am at peace with EMUI4.1/MM
@Saeem
No it didn't happen just to me.
Lots of people were having similar problems, and that was all over the Internet, including here at XDA and at Huawie forums and Support sites.
Huawie back then created a page with downloadable packages and instructions to switch back to EMUI 4.1 / Android 6.
As I had mentioned before, the battery drain and the excessive overheat were happening even without the phone being used at all, and with the screen turned off.
It wasn't even possible to turn the phone off, or to restart it. These soft buttons were messed up and not functioning properly.
Huawie did not fix the phone, as I had indicated. They replaced it with a new one. It was not fixable..
Glad you and your mom are having no issues.
You might be able to experiment with new software/firmware releases, but many people use the phone for business purposes, and other critical issues. In such uses they cannot afford to be experimenting with buggy Beta releases of software.
Such people use their phone to do things other than play games, text a classmate, or chat with their moms.
You will understand what I mean someday down the road.
Thanks for your input, though.

Anyone know what the update cycle is for ulefone most other manufacturers up date at 3 month or so just wondering if there the same.........
the biggest downside of chineze phones is that....ulefone is maybe the 4th or 5th chineze manufacturer,but saddly lately after power 3 which promised and promoted to us to come in stand alone 8.0 oreo,with known results (onlyy 7.1.1),the update cycle is more than 6 months.....its devices are very well made but that was the last time i bought from them....first for the ridiculous situation about oreo and the updates that arent there on time......

Is it safe to buy the zenfone 6 right now? Ive read about issues regarding this device randomly shutting down or getting bricked as well as not receiving some calls, and was wondering if it is worth the risk to buy it still
Every device has issues, if you are unlucky you get a faulty device no matter the brand. Mine has no issues, no shutting down, no problems with calls, nothing. I'm very happy with the phone.

Although I agree that each device has their own quirks, I disagree with your approach that it's as if the issue of a motherboard failure happens on ALL phones. The zenfone 6 had an update (firmware ver. 16.1220.1906.167) that would literally just shut down the device and no longer turn on. The device's hardware is, imo, perfect but, as I have read, was destroyed by its own maker. I'm literally just asking to make sure about my purchase as $500 is not something that is easy to get.

I never said a motherboard failure happens to all phones, just as I don't imply that all galaxy phones explode.
All purchases are backed by a guarantee, if you happen to get the wrong one, you can have it replaced (as I've done myself with other brands, and I don't think that they are ****ty just because I got a faulty device).
So, the phone is great, yes. Some got failures, yes (like any other brand).

As far as I know Asus has never come forward wiith a full explanation of what exactly has happened.
There are a number of very good reasons why Asus might not want to do that.
It would seem at first glance reasonable to asume that a software update alone could not brick a phone, but you forget such things as ARB (AntiRollBack) which has hardbricked many a Xiaomi.
Then there are such things as qfuses in the soc, which can be blown once only and not restored later.
I'm reading often people have problems with dispaly broken displays without bumping or falling My note 20 ultra was secondo hand (two month old) I got andrid 11 but I stopped any upgrade so my question is...
Somebody have understand/discovered if that iusse is a hardware problem or a firmware problem (android 11 or and android 11 version/patch) ?
That why if is android 11 problem I will try to take my note 20 ultra now that I have still 18 month of guarantee to Samsung service and try to ask them if they can downgrade t to android 10 (not sure if they will aswer me yes) but so I'm sure to dnt get burnt thye display and to dont lose guarantee (not realy sure how to downgrade with odn but I think is not s easy as was for my note 4 and..ok must istall the same branded firmware or warranty is then no longer valid
Let me know about dislay iusse
Thank's
Helen
