Hi
I have had a bit of a disaster with my new Honor 6. It came with
kitkat, but I saw a link to install Lollipop for local update (ie don't
wait for OTA). (I am in the UK by the way)
Installed ok, but then the keyboard disappeared only voice commands were available,
and it seemed it was the Indian version. I tried to roll back using
B500 then to B396 but seemed to have intermittent problems connecting
to Google Play. I have had this before on a Chinese sourced Huawei
which I believe was because the firmware wouldn't allow authentication
with Google Play - well not more than once or twice, then would lose
it.
I have finally managed to get to build H60-L04V100R001C00B396 and it
*seems* to be happy with Play at the moment. I factory reset and oddly
it asked me to select the Vodafone type from a dropdown (including
prepay and postpay - wtf?) and couldn't get Vodafone data working until
I tinkered with the APN which I hadn't had to do with the original
install.
Also I am on EMUI 3.0 not 3.1 - is this directly linked to the build number?
Bottom line : am I on the right version for the UK and should be ok
with google Play going forward - and will be able to upgrade to
Lollipop when it hits UK via OTA?
If not, what should I do?
Sorry for long post, but any help gratefully received.
