Already updated. Quite laggy in the first 15 minutes but got better after all.
Kinda a meh update, didn't change much but I'm glad the notifications look better now.

Can you confirm that there is no lock screen customisation?

Anyone with the update please confirm, do you have any improvements in performance, battery life, camera?

I don't have the phone to test this update. But Samsung is really doing commendable job with updating so many of its phone lineup to let user taste different flavours of Android.
I know hasty decisions may lead to buggy software but I would say let us give Samsung a chance to improvise the taste of Android.
It's even beating the very maker of Android in delivering software updates.

Soooo... I got the update today... and I must say that this definitely feels better optimized than Android 12, there's still a little lag here and there when playing a game and then switching to something else (multitasking) however this definitely feels better, great job!

How's the ui?lagging?

In the US, no update yet.

Stil laggy?

Might be slightly less laggy but I wiped it after the update. But still not great.

Mine is great updated it last night

Now that it's possible in OneUI 5.0, try to disable RamPlus and feel the smoothness

God only knows when this'll be released for A53s in the US...

Just wait on it
It'll come

No update yet, Croatia.

Anybody is using EMUI 5.1 Beta?

I see about new EMUI 5.1 beta on the funkyhuawei release today.
Is this true? Anybody is using?
I have middle east MHAC185 phone so I need to do rebrand to China to install?
Is it recommendable? Battery life is better from MHA-L29C185B172?

It is true, but it is not recommended, cause beta version.
I'm on the beta via FunkyHuawei...honestly, it doesn't feel like a beta at all! I have yet to experience any issues. Definitely feels more responsive than 5.0 for sure.
Mine, original MHA-AL00C00

imei for free ?
Does it have any new features? I am particularly interested in the camera having the portrait mode, which was added to P10.
Also keen to know what other new feature there are and how much better is the responsiveness?
New beta MHA-AL00C00B205 released and listed in funkeyhuawei.
No new features to speak of really that I've encountered. I've moved to the US version beta, and the battery life is much improved over the 5.1. Touch latency might be a slight bit better in the 5.1 beta, but overall the US one is pretty damn fast and responsive. Definitely the the reliably fastest Android phone I've had (and my other phone is a OP 3T.)

How did you install this on your US version?
Rebranded to Chinese version first...then flash via FunkyHuawei.
Issues with MHA-L29C185B172 update
From the solid 16 -18 hours battery life, it has crashed to 6-8 hours only after the update. The phone is also getting heated up many times.
No support or response from HiCare.
Will a factory reset help?

Ulefone Power 3 with 6080mAh battery going to have Android 8.1 updated in March???

Ulefone official website claims that Ulefone power 3 will have the update of Android 8.1 very soon in March, 2018 and some Chinese retailer, like Coolicool, has advertised in their home page too. Any ideas?
Customer Support told me it was planned for May (they said they need to wait for permission from Google...
does anybody know about root for current version?
i 'think' i got the bootloader unlocked via adb and unlock bootloader. the end result was bootloader unlocked but i didnt get to check it yet.
I really hope they fix the camera on the Oreo update, because it is really ****. I really love the rest of it, but the camera is so bad that it is a totally dealbreaker for me.
4 days left... how can it be May when they website still says March?
web site is missleading i guess they have writedown their estimation i guess.
Can you guys recommend me a case for Ulefone Power 3, the ones i could found are too cheap, anything like this? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wol...Mobile-Phone-Case-For-Huawei/32784085576.html
Thank you.
Ulefone Power 3 will get Android Oreo upgrade in June.
You can check official information here: https://www.ulefoneshop.com/blog/ulefone-power-3-official-android-oreo-8-update-faq/
Ulefone released another teaser video of the Power 3 and 3S for the Oreo 8.1 Update.
https://youtu.be/7L9RNZmFlZ8
It was published May 14th:
As we promised before, the 6080mAh Ulefone Power 3 is getting Android 8.1 Oreo update. After the beta testing stage is over, the Oreo system on the Power 3 is stable and works perfectly well. The all-new Oreo system combined with the Power 3’s high-end MTK6763 octa-core processor and 6080mAh battery capacity delivers a smoother, faster and more energy-efficient overall performance. The final version of Android Oreo will be rolled out via OTA as long as a new GMS certification is approved.
Currently waiting for their GMS certification with Google.
Well it is now nearly at the end of July and still have no Oreo update........
when this phone will get update 8.0?
Any news?
Hi guys,
My Ulefone Power 3 brought from China in Dec 2017, suddenly no longer wants to focus on the main camera.
I tried different applications for the camera and no one focus anymore.

No future updates?

Anyone know if Huawei has officially stopped updating the Honor 8? Firmware Finder hasn't had anything new on it since December which seems longer than usual.

I think it's the end... :crying: 2 years of updates, 2 main android version updates done...
EDIT: NOT THE END!! Chinese models got February 2019 Google Security update! Nice surprise!
Sad to hear - it's really annoying you cannot expand the notifications on the lockscreen...
Are any of the ROMs people have ported ready for prime time? Calls/SMS/WiFi/Bluetooth/.Fingerprint reader/...IR blaster all working?
It's kind of a bummer to need to get a new phone for software/security updates when the hardware is still really nice (outside of 3D games which aren't important to me on my phone).
I never even got December 2018. Latest I got was April 2018

Everything works, but the Pie version of OmniROM has some lag in animations.

Well, if animations is the problem (I haven't find any lag) you can simply disable them on dev options
Just a quick update. Honor release 8.0.0.540 for Chinese version 3 days ago... I hope we will receive it soon on our versions

Of course they did. I'm on Android 9 (Omni Pie from Openkirin Team), but you can go on the safe road and install an Android 8.1 rom that comes with less bugs (as OmniPie is actually in Beta stage). However every OpenKirin rom is surprisingly smooth, fast and very functional. You will have working camera (EMUI camera), wifi, ril, bluetooth, gps, fingerprint (10/10 works very good) and so on. Plus you'll have all the benefits from the customuzation options merged in the roms (or you can do on your own that). My advice is to try. Even with some little bugs you will not regret EMUI stock. BTW i'm on 5 February Security Patches on Pie

It's been an ongoing issue since the beta. Samsung was made aware but chose not to fix it.

I reported it once on the first initial one ui 3.0 and then again once I upgraded to ctl7, hopefully it gets fixed, but it doesn't seem like a priority to them. i actually just downgraded to 2.5 cause I hate the bugs they currently have.

Eventually is the time frame. Samsung took over a year to fix the Buds+ firmware. Lol not sure it's optimized even now and niether is Samsung
It probably will get fixed... eventually
Strange I'm not having this issue on mine at all. I got European version too but nordic one and my notification part is fine for me.

Samsung will substitute smaller chipsets and components during a production run if need be. Result is the firmware may not be compatible for those chipsets/components until the glitch is noticed and firmware updated to include them.
Add to that there are many variants of firmware because of different carriers and countries.

Question UI 5.1.

Hello Kindly !
I would like to ask if Dear Forum Users , do You know when the update to UI 5.1 will appear ... for our Flip 4 ?
I read somewhere , that it has already appeared in India ... so maybe it will "come" to us soon ?
Best Regards - Marcin .
I read that UI 5.1 along with the Feb 2023 update should be coming soon for the Flip4.
... Ok! ... so we wait patiently .
Today I read that also this year there will be an update to Android 14 and UI 6.0 .
However , I think we will buy FLIP 5 sooner ... with these systems already installed .
Hello Kindly !
Just updated to UI 5.1.
I'm downloading !
Hello, update arrived in France but there are not all features... As the photo clipping function (present in all S23s). Is this normal?

I just updated too. It seems faster now.
Interesting. It does feel snappier. Not seeing bad battery as some on other devices have reported, but personally I feel these reports are due to people using phone more to play with new features.

I think that's a valid point .
Personally , I haven't noticed faster battery drain .
I even have the impression that it is a bit better and the phone works faster .
Turns on noticeably faster .
Of course , these are my subjective feelings .
