please be mind that all Honor ICS from Huawei currently are demo version. maybe just to show that ICS can run on Honor.

And I hope ICS non-demo (final) version is as stable as the stock GB.

I hope Huawei is not "toying" around with their customer by providing "demo" version of ICS on the purchased product. That is really not a good way of saying "Hey, you are our most important person".

I personally think the ICS is more of like already a commercial release but not without bugs which will be eventually iron out to make it more mature and rock solid stable. As per GB which has been around for a long time, so will ICS when it's due has come. ICS has only been release for how long, and how many phone are using it?

So, give it time and patience. you can get no wrong.

I think the demo ICS preinstall on consumer phone is not by Huawei, but it is by shop owner eager to show that Honor is ICS ready.

BTW, demo ICS is not that bad. After 2 days plus using stock GB, I take back my opinion that GB is faster. ICS is faster, but not as stable as GB.

The ICS version that came with my phone is 4.0.3. and I think it is not a demo version but more on an silent official release. Stability seems to depend on what and how much software did you put into your phone. Just after I reset my phone + formatting the sdcard it seems the phone is fast, no problems and runs stable. However when I start installing all kind of my fav apps things begin to slide.

Even the problem with the battery drain seems to come not from ICS but from Exchange services which kept running and taking the power to stay alive and trying to do its job of syncing with the server.

In the end I believe we does have to realise that what ever we choose to use have to use power thus selecting how to use it and when to use it does great difference in the power consumption of our smartphone.

For instance.. I have turn off the auto sync feature of everything and does it manually and i saw that the battery does stand a chance to live through the day for normal use.

Maybe the ICS can be optimized further more but for now ICS 4.0.3 is already good. Maybe I like GB more because the first phone is using GB 2.3.4 but things change and changes usually is good.

This version dont hv notification area at the top of the page. If want to ON ur BT, WIFI, u need to go deeper in the setting. No shortcut on the top

Latest version B977 seems to have issues like no Fast Boot option and have no Google Apps. I just realised that the ICS 4.0.3 was released to the China market, whilst the worldwide version only listed is GB 2.3.6. I think the ICS in my phone is not shipped factory default by Huawei but was installed by the shop. Anyway, I am still searching for a good GB firmware to flash my phone back to.

ic...so pls share after you can find the good GB firmware..I would like to flash my phone back to FB and try n see.hehe

Back to Cambodia ICS. Can't stand using GB knowing that there is newest version that I can use.

Guys, any ideas why when I launch N.O.V.A 2 HD it always crashes after the intro video?

It says "Unfortunately nova 2 has stopped working"

Any ideas?

Can honor even run nova 2? I doubt that rmb play store listing it as incompatible

Oh okayokay thanks

And this phone rocks my world babeh. SOOOO happy that I didn't went for other phones, cause its battery makes me go orgasm <3

whats the price of this phone now?

whr in kl can i get a good deal on this? any recommended lyn traders?

Got mine from IMCC mines.

Anyone here using ics with google chrome? Wonder why google play say that chrome is incompatible with honor? Anyways, already dl apk file.. Its very buggy.. issit normal? or is it honor's problem?

if not mistaken chrome beta is only available at certain region.
https://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answe...ktg_mobile_help

are u using chrome beta now? I can't seem to find the right browser.... used dolfin , chrome and stock browser.. still not up to my standards... How i wish it can browse as smooth like Ios safari

Using dolphin, so far so good as i dun do heavy browsing much

News.

Downgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.6. Cannot root. Gameloft games still show same problem with using ICS4.0.3.

I don't know whats the problem anymore. Fear to say it but most probably the hardware is not rendering it well.

Sigh... going back to ICS4.0.3 now.

btw, I confirm that GB is faster than ICS when freshly installed. Feature wise, beginning to miss ICS.

Weird, anyway i tried games i.e. (where's my water) that i had problem when using ics on gb no problem graphics are being rendered properly.

I tried using two specific games, Assassin Creed and Spiderman Mayhem. Can you test it to see whether the same condition occurs if you are still using GB?
