Hey
I am fed up with the battery life (or lack of) of my Nexus 5X.
My fiance did pretty much the same but has a Huawei P9 lite.
By 9pm id already had to charge my battery! Yet she still had 30% left. We have same apps running, FB for example, I have push notifications off she doesn't. Same location settings only difference is I have NFC on for Android Pay.
Has anyone had a N5X and now a P9? Is the battery better?
Also, whats the Huawei Android update policy for the P9? I don't want a phone that by next year they wont do anymore updates.
Cheers
Choose ultra power saving mode in settings under battery.. your Huawei P9 will last few days in one charge....

Ultra mode provide only basis calls and messaging option.. I have chosen smart option which gives me good battery life. See screenshot attached.

Cool thanks
How about the update policy? Do they guarantee updates for a few more years?

2 years updates for certain. Nougat is planned to be launched within next 2 months.

KMV78Y is the new build number.
Just refreshed mine and nothing. I just bought mine today so that'd be nice to have an update already! Hope they put a changelog soon.

That's the same build number that was just released for the LG G Watch. I doubt that two different companies would use the same version numbers, so are you sure?
Not showing up on mine yet

My version on my Gear is the same thing except instead of the Y, its an X. So that's definitely the format for the gear.

I don't have any problems with battery life, but a lot of people seem to complain about it. At midnight last night I was at 28% after taking it off the cradle at 7 am. Right now I'm at 80% at 3:30pm EST after taking it off the cradle at 7 am. I don't let the screen stay on and I keep my brightness at 3.
Does this update break anything.. Root wise? I just got notified about it
I got the notification
I'd imagine that if rooted, it wouldn't install. Just like a nexus device. If it did though, root would usually be lost. Give it a go and let us know
Does anyone know what has been fixed or updated from the original android 5.0 LNX build to the upgraded 5.0 build then from 5.0 to 5.0.1? I couldn't find a change log from google or fixes or anything for that matter
Thank you

Battery life is subjected to how you use your phone. Minimize your wake locks and ensure your phone is deep sleeping.
Battery life is hardly affected by a ota unless there was a crucial error on Google part causing wakelock which Google play services is the main culprit.

make sure that you install apps that dont keep your phone awake.
Don't think I have any. Simms I'm still trying to kill my battery, but trying to not go crazy. I've noticed chrome is quite battery consuming...
Utorrent as well, but I expect that from a p2p client

Can't find anywhere that talks about releases dates? Not planning on waiting for an OTA anyway. So I'm not really mad at all. Well have 5.01 on my phone fully functioning before the ends of January no doubts about it.
If you have any proof of an April date share it though.

If you buy a phone cause you waiting for an update that is ridiculous. Buy the phone cause you want it. If you wanted note 4 you should of waited till it was out with lollipop.

Add me to the list of don't care folks.
I'm not really sure what people are expecting; many seem to eagerly anticipate Lollipop like its the next coming of the messiah or something. I just don't get it, in the end one will end up with the same app dependencies and just a little bit of polish is added to an already stellar OS.
From the looks of it Touchwiz won't fully embrace the material design concepts that Google put out in their stock Lollipop releases. I'm not sure how to feel about that; part of me is happy about that because I HATE the way my Nexus 4 looks with stock Lollipop. On the other hand, I have a feeling that in the months to come our devices will be a hodge podge mix of various applications each adopting the material design look at its own pace. A half-adopted change in touchwiz will just compound things . . I'm not looking forward to that . . .
Honestly...who really cares about killjoy lollipop anyways? Don't like the look, don't want it, don't really need it! The white and colorful backgrounds are to bright and suck battery...Why can't Google just input an option to have a light or dark ui system wide? So many people would appreciate that and be a lot happier....maybe so many could live without root then. I'm stuck unrooted till someone accomplishes it for us on Verizon and I wish I knew programming cause is love to claim that bounty...But I barely even know how top use an actual computer though I'm great with my beast of a note4...though I still sometimes regret the upgrade. My note 3 had root, custom Rom, and was able to do what I like with it system wide. Now I'm at the mercy of Verizon intent and the ads most of all are what about me most, plus the bloat I'd love to remove... thanks **rant over...screw lollipop till I'm able to flash it myself and pick what's running on my device, and have the blacked out inverted system I want and the apps I want

Same. Are you guys sure you didn't just take the OTA for the first time? Noob question i know just don't see anything showing up
edit: Sammobile has this firmware listed as USA T-mobile but I'm hesitant to use it cause it's listed as SM-G920T1 instead of just G920T

It has bug fixes ,but samsung as usual doesn't ever address,specifically what it fixes.
Ita a 177mb...update that I took out of the box . Before u could make any comparison . Either way the phone has battery drain issues like No tomorrow .
Deep sleep ,volte, and WiFi calling apparently don't like each other very well.
We need a fix . Can't wait till deviant team gets a rom kickin ...

The iPhone 6 had a very rough launch. Not unlike this device, perhaps worse... Lest we forget 8.0.2 I think it was that disabled our data connections and fingerprint readers.
No device is perfect out of the gate. The small issues I am having with my S6 are more due to Android 5.0 then anything.
