I'm currently B521 and unable to update to B563. I have tried to download both files, the one with 1.3gb and 504mb. Both is giving errors below.

Just update, so far so good, a lot of minor bugs removed, monitoring the battery life now
*
The only bug that I encountered is the error given when I change to app drawer homescreen. It has been there since B521.

I'm not getting any notification from the system update. Can you help me if there is any other way to update to B563 as updating through firmware finder fails a few times
*
I got it from OTA. If u don't have any update then u might try to download the firmware and use dload method.
I have signed up for beta tester last time. But due to my previous firmware is B321 I can't receive the beta version and thus I use the FF to install to B521.
Don't know if this B563 is pushed out to registered beta users. Anyone else who received OTA update to B563 can confirm?

how u install from b321 to b521 using FF? i try so many times but failed
*
I rollback to b211 then install with FF. It's a bit of hassle but should be fine with proper backup. The nougat is too tempting rather than stuck at b321 which I think will never receive any update

Yes. The latest firmware B563 only push to those who have pushed the first Nougat B521.

Any difference between installing the full version and the lesser (504mb) version?

Bro plain_white,

After the rollover 4.1 to 4.0 update...

Do I need to factory reset, wipe cache and etc before I run the B211 firmware update to get 4.0?

Please advice la..
*
yes, u should factory reset and wipe data before u flash back the b211
make sure u put the B211 fw in dload folder and remove the old one where u use to rollback to B300
I follow exactly the video that i shared earlier and it work for me. All the best!

Someone already posted in xda forum that they received OTA from B211. So probably B563 is not a beta after all.
Overall i feel the battery life in B563 is slightly worse compared to B321 or B211.

Battery as a good as EMUI 4?
For me EMUI 5 standby battery drain is bad 5-6% over 7 hours overnight. Google services drain battery during standby.
Occasionally, apps will hang & need to force close which never happen on old firmware.

Will upgrade tonight & see how it goes?
*
Sometimes I really can't tell if the new firmware really drain more battery or due to my aging battery. Now my sot only in the range of 3-4 hours compared to last time 6-7 hours
