One week into the OTA of B331 and I am less than satisfied:
- Battery life drop by 50% from previous exceptional levels.
- Non LTE calls have sound that goes in and out.
- Can't seem to get Wi-Fi calling.
I do get some updates for security, and interface which are admittedly nice. Material design is clean but not a big jump. Greater integration in all facets, such as contact information when in calling mode is welcome.
Am I missing some setup steps? I can't believe what this has done to my previously flawless Honor 5X.

did you do factory reset after the update??
I would try factory resetting and wiping the cache partition if you notice problems after an update, It's what I usually do to make the system "clean" and rid of the "corrupt" data and files that the update might have screwed up.

Glad we all think the same.. Its a shame what Huawei did to the Marsmallow update. Anyways try this it solves 70% of the battery drain compared to Lollipop. Its also worth trying Cyanogenmod. Its even more stable then glitchy EMUI, alot smoother and battery also better then marsmallow.
Factory reset is what you should do
Factory reset helped
Factory reset was a pain, but it did help both battery life and call quality.

its good to do factory wipe after an ota,
so that the new apps apps couldnt have to work on old corrupt data
I did get my code from and was going to unlock the bootloader and follow the instructions for the core hack. BUT, it will require another factory reset. I just loaded all my settings, wifi, aps, screen pages the way I like it. Is there a tool that will allow me to retain these and install in one shot after reset?
Ages ago I did this with my old HTC One X, via titanium backup but if I remember correctly that required root access, which I don't have.

Now that there are a couple of versions of the 'official' Lollipop update floating around for the Z3v and people are using it, what's the verdict? What are your thoughts? Was it worth the wait? Is it running alright, better, or worse, than KK? Any problems or concerns?
It might help if you let us know which version you installed (.485 or .509), if you're rooted, and if you did a clean wipe and install or flashed over your previous version.

It does not. I don't think it works on either build, but I'm running version .485, FYI.
Multi-user / guest mode also has been deactivated and is missing.
Im actually enjoying the update, fun little things here and there. Im greatful to have the update everything works well.
I have the unrooted .485 build. To my knowledge almost everything is working perfectly. Battery life is the same if not better. I love Sony's take on material design. The only two things missing are multiple user accounts and the ability to do voice over data, but I do not think that will be turned on until Verizon officially releases the update. Since verizon hasn't released it yet, I'm positive they haven't "hit the switch" to turn it on for our devices.
I'm waiting for Verizon to push this to my phone but am a little concerned that pdanet/foxfi will stop working for me when it comes. Any thoughts on this? What are my risks of waiting on not rooting? Wi-Fi hotspots is critical for me.

I'm actually experiencing a dramatic DROP in battery charge longevity and haven't been able to find out what's doing it.
Other than that, the upgrade is "OK", but without the missing features that we're waiting on Verizon for, I'm not sure it was worth all the hassle.
I just look at it as good practice for when 2 have to go through all this crap again when they finally do release the good stuff.
Edit...
After having whittled down some of the background apps that I had done in K.K. (per Gigaspx's list), I am now experiencing much better battery life. Also, now that I have Xposed-lollipop-z3v working to tweak the interface, it's looking less foreign to me and more intuitive.
I had both versions installed and clearly prefer 509. I had WiFi issues with 485 and my phones was overheating while wireless charging. 509 fixed those issues and everything is working fine. Compared to 4.4.4 everything is faster and I rely like the new lollipop interface. I haven't done any testing but I think that the battery life also improved.
I'm on 509 and have seen a few odd things.
My GPS locked up the other day and would not update my location. I had to reboot to fix it. This has never happened to me on this phone before.
Hitting recent apps lags. It takes long enough to come up with the list of recent apps that I start to question whether or not I hit the button every single time.
Settings from Tasker profiles that have always worked without a hitch are not being respected. For example, the screen will continuously turn off after 5 or 10 seconds but when I check the settings for screen timeout it says 2 minutes. Re-applying the profile works as expected after.
Other than that I'm enjoying LP. I'll have to do some testing to see what I can fix.

so can we downgrade from lolipop to kitkat?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'm starting to have a constant wakelock. No idea why and I cant fully charge with a wireless charger.
I have only had lollipop a couple of days now (flashed 509). So far I like it. Battery is about the same, never have had any lag, maybe lollipop is a little faster? Several things I like - BT seems more stable, lock screen controls are now more consistent, and the security features are better (I use a pin to lock my phone). I generally like the small changes to the interface.
Things I don't like. The volume controls is not intuitive (muting etc). Themes don't work as well either. Can't seem to get navigation buttons to change.

I had Bluetooth problems updating to non root 5.02 without doing a factory reset. I switched back to 4.4.4, rooted and then updated with dual recovery and have had no issues for the past two weeks. My sony smartband talk watch was having a lot of problems which prompted me to go back to a clean factory reset 4.4.4 and then root. I used kingroot and installed recovery before flashing the prerooted 5.02. I'm getting 5.5 hours sot and its very stable.

I tested my Z3V on 5.02 with my son's Galaxy S5 and it does work including HD Video.
I was having the notification tray freeze up the whole phone from time to time. Had to force reboot.
Anyone else? It only happens sometimes when pulling it down.
Since taking Marshmallow, I'm sure there are questions/differences/issues people have with their V10s and might like to ask/share/comment on. Although this has been a fairly seamless update, I do have an issue/question:
I used to be able to access the phone app in App manager to clear my voicemail notifications. I can no longer do that in the same fashion as I the app list has been extremely streamlined, like system apps don't even show up on my phone(no matter which list I choose from dropdown). Can someone point me in the right direction to find it again please? Thanks!
I'm having battery drainage issues. I have done a factory reset and recalibrated the battery. Anybody else?
My wife is having horrible battery drainage also. Before the marshmallow update she could leave her phone sitting all night and only loose about 5% battery, now she looses a around 30% very two hours and it says its the android os draining the battety.
Same here. Just wiped the cache to see if that fixes the battery drain issue. Screen, Android os, and phone idle are each taking about 20% of the battery, according to the status monitor. I can't get through 5 hours without running out of juice..
...04.21 I wiped the cache and it had no noticeable effect. I factory reset yesterday, 4.20 and that appears to have made a significant difference. I'm only down 9% over the past 2.5 hours.
As you might imagine, factory resetting after a is Upgrade should not be necessary. The amount of time it takes to restore everything is a major hassle.
Thumbs up me if this helped you.

I am frustrated user of Note 8, received it early September 2017, been using without any issues until Oreo update arrived in May 2018.
Once phone was updated i have done factory restore and start clean, i have done same procedure twice as i am having the following issues running phone in high performance mode:
1. The phone used to run smooth in Power Saving Mode, now its sluggish
2. Pretty sure there is greater delay between finger print sensor reading and screen turning on
3. General UI laggy, in performance mode its no longer as snappy as it used to be
4. The edge panel can sometimes slide out but stutter on animation
5. Camera launching from the hard button press, can have delay or stutter to launch too
6. Battery feels like gotten worse
Anyone else can agree?

Never had any problems...
I agree with OP. It has gotten worse. I use to go a full day without having to charge it. Now after Oreo, I'm at near 78% after 4 hrs of YouTube background play compared to 86 to 84% on nougat.
factory reset your phone. my battery and performance has only gotten better since 8.0.

I disagree. My Exynos N950F has still been smooth since the day I got it out of the box. I only got the base update to Oreo (possibly due to my CSC). My experience has been good so far. My phone has never been sluggish while playing games or multitasking using multi-window or App-Pair (whatever the feature is called in the GraceUI).
I'd suggest you backup, wipe (again), and restore your phone in increments until you find the root cause. I'm willing to bet that your issue is with an app that runs in the background. Are all your installs from the Google Play Store, and not APKs from questionable third parties?

I'd flash latest full stock with Odin using full wipe. Better than factory reset for clearing out persistent issues. Aside from that not sure what else can be suggested. Oreo has been running great here with every OTA.

I suggest downloading the firmware of the version you are currently on if you care about rooting in the future and flash it with Odin. Seems like you're on v3 bootloader based on your post. Go from that direction with testing.
I agree with the battery being worse. For me standby drain is way higher on Oreo. On N I would lose about 5% overnight. Now around 11-15%. Phone is smooth though
Yes I agree oreo is laggy and a battery hog on my at&t note 8. Other then the android version being different I see no visible ui changes vs 7.1.1. Why do they keep changing the bootloader? Dont understand that.

Title says it all, made the mistake of upgrading to Oreo and now stuck with relentless battery drain issues. Tried everything short of reflashing so far and failed. Nearly everything is disabled even after full wipe and reset (hard) and its still pretty bad in terms of battery life. So I signed up here looking for ways to salvage the hardware, perhaps by downgrading back to Nougat if I still can or installing something better and different altogether. I've read folks having luck with the cell standby drain by installing a nougat/oreo mash but couldn't find specific details on how to do this. Also this doesn't seem to fix the android system drain issue but its at least a start. I have basic experience using Kies and Odin, helped a couple relatives with boot looping tabs in the past. Please advise on the best path forward to make use of my new phone.
Have you tried installing 7.0?
What version of Oreo did you install? I myself installed a TMO Ver G930TUVU4CRI2 but running on ATT network. I rooted and debloated and I am blown away how smooth this runs with fantastic battery life.

I feel your pain. I was in the same situation, spending days to find a solution to these battery drain while stuck on this buggy version. And I tried everything...basic battery saving related stuff, disabling pretty much everything on the phone, monitoring everything, even changing the battery.
For now, the only thing that fix the problem for me was using a 3rd party app to force the phone to connect to none LTE network. I don't know where the bug lies: android, samsung or att side? or maybe it is because I'm out of US on another carrier who is using other freq but it is a shame. I don't think there will ever be a fix for that unfortunatly...
So today was the day. I did not pay attention to this nagging upgrade-popup and i accidentally clicked to upgrade.
I thought this would not be possible, because I got it rooted but apprearently I was wrong.
So here I am: a Xiaomi Mi A3 with Anroid 10 ... AND I HATE IT.
Batterydrain, ugly icons, and so on.
Is there any way to restore the system before the update? (Shouldn't this be possible, because of this A-B side system the phone has?)
If i can't go back: Is there a way to get the old wifi and signal-strenghts icons back?
... and I will figure it out how to root it again I guess.
Perform a factory reset dude, it's not so bad, it only have the same bugs and issues of Android 9. Pretty the same but with dark mode and few more settings.

Factory reset will not downgrade android version. He will have to flash miui 11 followed by stock android 9 rom to retain function of sensors and to keep widevine L1
There isn't a way to downgrade, except what the previous commenter said. Android 10 isn't that bad, you only hear people complaining but there are few dozen people i know personally who use Mi A3 with android 10 and none have problems including me. Just installed Google's eclipse live wallpaper looks sick on the oled screen. Forums became littered with complaints but the people who do enjoy using it don't mention it. Also i guess it's a batch of phones which didn't have the proper settings from the factory which lead to said problems

No issues here. Was on Android 10 as soon as it came out. Of course did reset the phone. No battery drains here and no random reboots. Maybe it's something else?
I'm on android 10 for months now. No random reboots here, only problem that the battery is worse than in pie.
I might give the factory reset a chance. maybe it will help to get rid of the battery drain.
what is the most efficient way to restore my apps (+ settings if possible) after the reset?

First of all, you should figure out if you really have a "battery drain". What's your typical screen on/screen off/screen off+aod enabled discharge rate?
