Google OOBE on factory reset (seem to be new for this release)

Menu button changed to task switcher in line with Google guidelines, presumably to satisfy google certification
Fixed: Bluetooth and wifi driver fixes, seems a lot more stable (no more Bluetooth drops or Wifi "no internet")
Broken: Bluetooth switches itself off on reboot
Broken: Wifi Captive Portal Error (redirected IP causes a security error in Captive Portal Browser)

Changes 20160517
Glove Mode removed
Broken: Touchscreen driver buggy (lags and reboots when pressed continuously for too long, also triggers reboots during phone call if screen activated with ear pressed against screen or in pocket) Note: FT5406_MT touch panel only?

Changes 20161216
Android 7.0 Update
Baseband supports 4G+3G! Yay!

Broken: Default Launcher stops (workaround: install a different launcher)

-----

Please feel free to contribute other changes/bugs/fixes below and I will try to integrate into the OP. I will also try to update this thread on new firmware releases (or until I throw the phone away... the touchscreen bug is really annoying...)

The date below the hour still appears sometimes in small

Sometimes I also change the size of the hour from big to small

I noticed that when you update it, it changes the screen lock image. I get the feeling that if I leave the original screen lock image, the sensitivity of the fingers improves, that if I change the photo by mine. There seems to be worse sensitivity
Before if I pressed for 15 seconds the phone was restarted, now if I press the screen for 40 seconds, it is still restarting

Gps time is still one hour less

Also, the facebook application slata the message that the application does not respond, close or wait

Maybe a factory reset will help you.

I was seeing the same thing, but hard to say it's blackview's fault. The latest Facebook update seems to be better.

Blackview Admin: I did a clean install, this is not a factory reset problem.

I don't have that problem. Did you do a bad flash and lose your MAC address?

You can check your MAC address in Settings->About Phone->Status

I found 2 new problems -

1. Bluetooth disabled on reboot
2. Wifi Captive Portal Error (redirected IP causes a security error in Captive Portal Browser)

Still dificult to unlock phone at slide screen unlock
