Next thing to test, please try and see if it is possible to update to B110 via OTA?

if you a flasher kaki, you should buy nexus device instead.
this device are yet to unlock its bootloader, means it is not advisable to flash any rom to it.

Good work.

Something off topic.

Found this nice case

Guys, anyone got problem with making call? Mine suddenly cant make call. It appear emergency call only and no service below telco name. But 3G seems working as usual.

Its more like the telco issue. Try with another phone? Another sim card slot?

Btw, as of no signal, how could you get any data connection?

allenultra is right. more to telco issue, sometime the line is dropping, but 3g full bar.

My review of the Honor 3C.

For RM499 it is fighting in a league above it's price band. As an avid smartphone fan, I've been changing phones just to review and to test out it's performance for the price.

Personally prior to the launch of Honor 3C, my personal bottom line phone is the Nexus 4. And at current used price of around RM600-700, I think it is the phone to get for a good overall Android experience. The Samsung S3, and HTC One X is pretty OK but does have its noticeable lags.

I've been using the Honor 3C as my daily driver for a about 2 weeks. And I gotta say I'm impressed. Day to day operation is pretty fluid. Don't expect Snapdragon 600 and above performance but for what it is a mediatek quad core. It is mighty decent. Especially if you are in the market for a dual sim phone.

How my phone is setup,
Stock unrooted.
GEL launcher installed.
Google Keyboard installed.
Most used browser chrome - 60+ open tabs and still smooth.
Games playing.
Real Racing 3
Frontline Commando 2.
Both games are handled pretty decent by this phone.

Camera
Pretty OK rear camera when it is bright. Though autofocus don't seem to be focusing sharply. Dimmed lighting or dark situations - not as good as HTC One, Sony Z1. Better performing than the nexus 4 camera - which is OK for a basic camera.
Front camera - selfie cam.. Very nice 5mp camera. And pretty wide angle.

Battery.
Decent - able to last 1 day for my usage. Screen On Time about 5-7 hours depending on gaming or not.

Screen
Bright, one of the best in price. 720p display. I know I've been spoiled by the FHD screens in the market, but this 720p screen is perfectly usable.

Overall, the convenience of having a pretty decent performance dual sim phone for RM500.

I'm excited to see what next year's RM500 phone could do. Probably specced as good as our current Snapdragon 800.

If you think about getting a dual sim phone. This is it.
If you think about giving family a starter smart phone. If you want a decent phone for your money. If all you wanna spend on a phone right now is RM500. This is it.

Wait for Honor 3D or 4C?

Hi guys, if anyone of u need a unit of honor 3c, i got one. jut received today. open to show mum, but she dislike. if you happen to be interested, kindly pm me.. thank you. my set comes with a blue and gold cover, and a screen protector

Hi. New to phone, overwhelmed by so many postings. Wondering:

Can the light screen backgrounds be set to dark to save battery?
Where is the Apps Drawer?

111

Brightness can be adjusted for sure. Low, mid, high or auto.
The stock launcher doesn't come with Apps drawer, just like MIUI/Ios style if you ask me.
If you need an apps drawer, install other launcher and you are good to go.

Usually when I press my home button, I get to select between Huawei home and Nova launcher, but I accidentally press "always" at the bottom there. So now whenever I press my home button, I cant select which launcher I want.

Setting~Manage apps~(app name)~Clear defaults

Nice review, thanks for sharing

There are many misleading tutorial on the net, while the procedure will work on China version phone (aka AP), doing the same on Malaysia version H3C will lead you into hard times.

yup possible to update to B110, got notification

erk. sorry to comment.
nexus kinda bad coz as a flasher. i usually keep 1-2 backup rom from different version on my phone.
but as of latest. one backup easily take 2.5-3.5 GB of space on storage.
which if u count that measly 5-9 GB space left on nexus device is ridiculously low

just got my honor 3c yesterday from lowyat ground floor ...(>_<) , nice screen and performance ,but mine price is 650...
