    Is there any workaround for the download problem. Can't use Gmail at all. Even after a reboot, Gmail constantly tries to download a file and crashes. I can't work without email for about 25 more days until January update!

    Another bug: since December update, when initiating a phone call in the car, the phone does use internal speaker as default instead of the existing Bluetooth connection. Android Auto (just the app on the phone in Hyundai i20 2012). Is there a workaround?

    Yes, I'm on Lineage OS and the 5x is still much faster and I like the features. But there is no more Development for the Honor 5x. According the Honor update promise, our device should be on Oreo today. And Huawei and Honor just stopped releasing unlock codes for the bootloader. It's very...

    Thank you for the clarification. But this entry in build.prop makes no difference: The WLAN Hotspot stops working about every 30 minutes in average (between 5 minutes and 3 hours).

    For me, it's not relevant. Battery life is better since the Honor Marshmellow upgrade. And my phone uses 1% of battery the whole night, when it is in flight mode. Thats good, and much better than with Android 5, where it used about 7% during the night. Franz
