Been using b585 for almost 1 month.

The interface & design is more iphone's feel.
Added some really useful features compared to EMUI 4 but it also remove some useful features from EMUI 4.

I can notice the battery drain is faster than before especially during standby. Standby mgmt is really bad even in ultra power saving it drained battery. Operating temperature is higher & phone easily get hot even only use for surfing. Sometimes the phone is lagging.

Not bad that this phone still receives update despite it is more than a year model.

Mostly a security patch update though. Will update later once I recharge my phone.

Anyone facing issues so far?

Was the previous firmware also EMUI 5.0.1. The new update shows EMUI 5.0.1 and I am unsure if it was already that version before.

Previous version is EMUI 5.0

my phone consumption during standby is high even i use ultra power saving mode. Google Play Services & Phone Idle is among top 3 list. I check back my battery usage on EMUI 4, this 2 item usage is very low. Mean that when phone is more on standby, google play services is running in background.

Any tricks to fix this google play services issue or the new update have solved thi issue?

The latest update seems good... battery life stay good. Especially when surfing fb and whatsapp seems a lot smoother.... been update for over 2 weeks edi... no major bug appeared.

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?

I just change my battery 2 weeks ago, just 1 issue, the phone charging sometime will disconnect especially during calls, what I can do is restart the phone only can charge properly, quite annoying, anyone face the same problem?

Obviously it is hardware issue lo, you might need to send warranty again. I think huawei giving free services for this month.

Just updated to the new version.

It is just a security update as I expected. Seeing the size is about ~470MB which is quite small for a major update like Oreo.

I believe this update is to mitigate the Meltdown & Spectre issue.

Btw, this update contains Android December 2017 security patches.
*
Any improvement you noticed on this update. What really is the impact of this Meltdown & Spectre virus

Did anyone of you suffer battery issue? I get random shutdown from 20% - 30% and yesterday it got worst. Shutdown at 70%.

Huawei SC ran out of battery replacement since Dec 2017.

I think it is hardware issue, you can try order the battery from ebay or lazada & replace by yourself
