[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RojasTKD:
This may give you some insight.

https://youtu.be/y0fHGJY-vFE

For me it's the Axon 7. I like the bigger res screen, the upcoming daydream compatibility and superior audio and non-Apple like OS.

The Honor 8 dies seem to have a better camera, but I can live with that. Plus I have an LG G5 for when I want photos.

You just have to decide which features are more important to you.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] piskr:
I had Honor 7 with the same SoC and I can tell you that it is really good enough, fast, no heating, good battery. And so is SD820 of Axon 7. Huawei has promised 2 years full support and upgrade for new phones and the new EMUI 5 wil be allegedly more close to stock. And even now you have third party themes which change that ugly apple look of Huawei phones.

But I'm still on for Axon 7. The fact is that everything but camera is better. Display, audio, design, rooting option... Even for camera you can't really tell that Honor's is better. It's dual but there is no Leica behind it as for P9.

As I see from my past experience, the software of Honor 8 will work without any issues and this is the only real advantage of Honor. I still have confidence in ZTE, I believe that it will solve software issues soon. Otherwise I would rather wait for Mate 9, which really supposed to be a killer phone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pwnerman:
It doesn't have a better CPU. The GPU on the Honor 8 is worse. The Honor 8 is going to be dead as far as development goes. The screen is worse, the audio is definitely going to be sub par. How fast does a finger print scanner really need to be? From what I can see it's USB C but at 2.0 speeds unlike the Axon which is USB C 3.0. The Honor 8 doesn't have Gorilla Glass. Also one of the biggest negatives for me is that it doesn't have Quick Charge 3.0. It has quick charging but it doesn't use the quick charge standard. It uses something called Smart Power 4.0 and after a Google search only thing I can find is something from Elgato and I don't think that's it so it's most likely proprietary.

In my view being the same exact price I don't see a single reason to go with the Honor 8. It has like nothing going for it over the Axon 7 except the camera. If the camera is that important to you then go for it but aren't there better options in the camera department anyway?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] max1001:
Kinda a silly question to ask since I doubt any users here own both phones.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] celticchrys:
What's more important to you as a user? Better camera = Honor 8. Better sound = Axon 7.

I"m pretty pleased with my Axon 7 so far. It's great for music and games, for example.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] chpimentelpr:
Your comment is silly... and not productive at all... I just want hear feedback. Thanks all for the inpt well appritiated.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] CorruptionDee:
This is something more of a personal preference. The Honor 8 is undeniably a beautiful phone. So if the glass look is something you prefer, go for it. With that said, it has a lower resolution LCD screen, a weaker GPU and CPU. The Kirin 950 is NO match for the Snapdragon 820 with Adreno 530. The Snapdragon is a better CPU scoring higher performance on Geekbench per core (around 2300 single core). The only reason the Kirin appears to score higher on the multicore is because it is an octacore (8 vs 4). It also has less on board storage at the base price (32GB vs 64GB). These are minor differences that come down to personal preference.

If a larger, superior screen with better sound matter to you, the Axon 7 is a no brainer. Huawei is more developer friendly though. The Honor 8 also has a superior camera, although I believe that the Axon 7 is an update away from having a really good camera. My personal preference would be the Axon 7 for the metal unibody design and superior specs.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] LeKeiser:
Like many said, I prefer the Axon 7 by far. Superior screen, superior audio, superior CPU/GPU, and most important, QC 3.0 <-- this is really a GREAT advantage. Charges fully the phone in 45mins or less.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] azpatterson3:
Between those two, I would go with the Axon 7. With that being said, after owning the Axon 7 for 3 months now, I wish I would have went with the oneplus 3. I would be giving up some resolution but it would be worth it for the dev. options. Development is a little slow going on the Axon 7.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] LeKeiser:
OnePlus has a proprietary charger as well, like the H8 and that suxx... QuickCharge is available for all the SnapDragon CPUs, and it's really great, so why aren't they using it? I have 3 wall chargers already, one at home, one at work and one in my bag in case, knowing I can recharge my phone in 40 mins, or any other device without worrying if it's compatible or not...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ben cherian:
Don't do it bruh. Am using op3 and finds it too simple.. doesn't feel a flagship fone other than speedy os. Display u ll get hatred of it. Audio department especially from 3.5 mm jack is worst I have heard, too flattened and low output.

You will feel iritated of using OnePlus 3 after few months

After spending 400 dollars you will feel what I actually paid for a plain blunt subtle fone that doesn't wows you in any area

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ben cherian:
Well did you take then OnePlus 3 ?

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

Did you take OnePlus 3?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] azpatterson3:
Nope. Still on my Axon 7. It wasn't worth the hassle of selling my phone and buying a Oneplus 3. Development has picked up a lot since I posted this. They are still working out bugs but it's getting there. Right now I'm running stock, unlocked, rooted, with TWRP. Ran LOS for awhile.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ben cherian:
I say... Stay with axon 7 . The reason is... Yes you get more development but after trying all rom I came back to stock and so do many. Like olden days there isn't much development in 3rd party roms. Plus the display is pretty crappy man.. you will get hatred soon. Axon 7 display is vibrant and nice... Audio department also OnePlus 3 sucks... So infact it's a fone with okish.camera and you get all good specs but NOT refined like good audio or good display. Atleast axon 7 has good display and audio compared to Honor 8 and op3.

By the way wait for OnePlus 5, Honor 9, and mostly Axon 8. Let's see . It's gonna launch soon so don't hurry buying
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Hamburgle4:
How else am I gonna get my post count up doe? :p
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] BritSwedeGuy:
8 or 8 Plus?

The Axon 7 is cheaper and has far better sound - the Honor 8 Plus wins on most other points.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/05/22/honor_8_pro/
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] borijess:
Will the honor 8 pro come to the US?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Hamburgle4:
Simple Google search yielded this from The Verge.

"Unlike the Honor 8, the Pro model won’t be launching in the US. Honor only has plans to sell the 8 Pro across Europe right now, with preorders beginning today for £474.99 (549 euro). Amazon will start shipping the Honor 8 Pro on April 20th, and it will be available in platinum gold, midnight black, and navy blue."

Also the specs for the Honor 8 on Amazon are wrong. It's the 8, not the 8 Pro being sold as a reviewer noted.

And when that guy said cheaper... It definitely needs more emphasis lol. Also, one could argue an Super AMOLED panel being more desirable than an IPS LCD.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raxbg:
Hi, I want to root my galaxy s6 edge and install custom kernel on it. This is in an attempt to speed it up a bit because it is painfully slow compared to other manufacturers' flagships. Even my old htc one m7 feels like it runs faster.

Anyways I have a gear VR and gear s2 and I wonder if the related apps on my phone will have any issues with the root or the custom kernel. Also will I receive OTA updates with the custom recovery? Actually do I need a custom recovery to flash a new kernel?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rosli59564:
Try to factory reset first. I don't think rooting then flashing custom kernel would help as long as you're using current setup.

Not sure on the devices support. You won't be receiving ota anymore. Normally we flash a kernel using custom recovery but probably doable using odin provided you can convert in into .tar file.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raxbg:
Thanks, but the phone felt slow the second I turned it on after I bought it. It was such a disappointment to have spent that much money for a worse experience than what I already had. Things got a little better after the Marshmallow upgrade, but it is still slow. Factory resetting it will not fix the issue :( The only reason I bought this device was because I already had the gear S2, which btw is awesome, but some of its options work only with samsung phones. I know this is not the place to complain from Samsung, but they are really annoying. Why won't they fix the fu**ing performance on their phones. And they should really start paying attention to the other parts of the phones other than the camera and the display. Their phones have awful sound and DACs, really low AMPs, explodable batteries, slow bluetooth and the OS updates are released half an year after the official android releases.

If anybody knows a way to at least fix the software speed please share. I will gladly accept suggestions for a good speedy ROM where oculus and gear s2 will work.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rosli59564:
Try to reinitialize the device using smart switch. It shouldn't behaving like that even stock. Hopefully only some files are broken, not a hardware fault.

Sent from my SM-G925F
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raxbg:
But I have 2 colleagues with s6 Edge+ phones and theirs are the same. It is not THAT slow, I am over exaggerating here, but I feel like it should be snappier for a phone with its specs. Even watching videos from the Note 7 I can see the same issues present. For example there is scrolling lag here and there, the home button takes several milliseconds to a second to start acting after being pressed (again not always), the app switcher button is also laggy (always). Such things that annoy me. Also, I feel kind of claustrophobic when my device is not rooted :D These past several months without root have been tough :D

I somehow got my filesystem encrypted when I flashed TWRP and rooted. When I try to boot into TWRP, I have to enter a password to be able to see anything or do any modifications. What happened?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bhint15:
I didnt have this problem on my Axon but googled.

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/help/twrp-password-t2511049

I have no idea if this will help you or not but it will wipe data so your phone will be factory reset. Do at your own risk.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
This is from the Thread [MENTION=876195]bhint15[/MENTION] posted ,

and the reason why ask for password is cuz Axon 7 Data/Storage is Automatically encrypted out of the box, that's why you don't or not going to find any sort of encryption data setting under Settings and That's the reason a lot of users here have issues trying to get back to stock or something similar.....

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RojasTKD:
What the neck how did u end up here....

Disregard ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Twerkules:
Alright, I managed to be able to write to /system temporarily by formatting the Data partition in TWRP, then rebooting back into TWRP. However, after rebooting into OS and setting up my phone, I rebooted into TWRP and was faced with the encryption password prompt again! Does the filesystem just re-encrypt itself when you start the OS, or am I doing something wrong?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] HonestOtter:
I gave up for now. I tried for 4 days to fix this. In the end I have 30 days to return the phone. Hopefully someone will figure out a work around for this issue. I really like using twrp. I have not read a comment on here of anyone being able to boot into system then back into twrp with out having to enter a password to decrypt. I hope someone out there can do it and they figure out a way to fix it for the rest of us..
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] runderekrun:
When does twrp prompt for password? I just booted into TWRP and it didn't prompt me. Then I simply booted back into the rom. Never prompted for a password.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Twerkules:
As soon as I get into TWRP it asks me for the password. I can continue into TWRP but I can't mount or modify the /system partition (it reads as 0b in TWRP File Browser). No idea how to fix, but I'm glad it's not just me having this issue.

As of right now, it looks like we are going to have to wait for custom ROMs for a fix, unless TWRP gets an update just for this. I saw a thread here asking users for info for final tweaks on a CM13 port to the Axon 7.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] runderekrun:
Which bootloader unlock did you do? I wonder, why would this not happen to me but happen to you? I am willing to test anything that needs to be tested.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] XblackdemonX:
You cannot fix that. Like DrakenFX said, the partition encrypts itself in the OS. You cannot disable/bypass this!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
Auto-encrypted can be disabled but that's way, way out of my league, need to rebuild boot. Img with that feature disabled.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] peramikic:
There are two different scenarios that will be in play here. Is the bootloader unlocked or not. If the bootloader is unlocked then boot.img can be patched with the zip from idlekernle that disables the dm-verity and fstab. You cannot do this if your BL is locked, because it will modify the signed boot.img that that provides root, and will not boot anymore.

After it's patched, the system will not encrypt after /data wipe and TWRP will access it without problem. The downside is no encryption.

For the BL locked crowed, the /data has to be reformatted after flashing new rooted boot.img. This image also enforces encryption so one way to solve this would be for [MENTION=540283]tenfar[/MENTION] to provide us with signed boot.img that set encryption of as well as. Otherwise the TWRP will need a password to decrypt /data if it can't use the default_password. In this case you should be able to enter the same pin you have setup for lock screen to decrypt the main encryption key.

The system re-encrypts itself on every system start after factory reset or /data format because of the forceencrypt flag in fstab, so the pin will be needed as long as that's the case. While TWRP should be able to try to decrypt with "default_password" in case you have not setup any on lockscreen, this sometimes fails, so having a pin on lockscreen usually helps. The cause is most likely that /cryptkey is altered somehow and TWRP can't use it. Wiping /data and rebooting should generate an fresh /cryptkey. I have been able to just flash modded recovery while still on stock boot and backup the /data with no key.

/system should not be encrypted ever since it would make block level OTA impossible to do. Why TWRP is not mounting it or seeing it 0b is a separate question.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] HonestOtter:
That would be dreamy. I have no issues waiting, fingers crossed.

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

Well i have formatted my data maybe 30 times with all sorts of different recoveries and boot images. My original boot image is long gone so hopefully that isn't the key. I also don't use a lock screen, I guess I could if it unlocks the data, but I certainly wouldn't want to keep using a lock screen. Anyways I am done with the phone for now, will revisit it when someone fixes posts they had the decrypt PW issue and fixed it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] peramikic:
See if you can set the pin, go into TWRP and us it. If it works, go back to OS and remove lockscreen, set to none and then go back to TWRP and see if it still asks for one. Did you run TWRP in read only mode or did you swipe to mount as RW?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] HonestOtter:
I assume you mean the lock screen pin? I set a lock screen pin of 1234, but "password failed, please try again". So that didn't work. Is there a different pin for the encryption?

***update

That sucked. I don't use a lock screen but after I tried the pin it won't let be go back to none for the lock screen. I was just starting to use this phone to, now its back to the old phone because I can't use a phone with a lock screen . So sad. Hopefully someone figures out a solution to all this security crap.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] zigzampow:
I'm having the same issue on B27. Do a factory Reset, then a Format, and after it boots to the OS, the data is encrypted again. I'd be somewhat ok with it but I'm not clear on how to install things like Xposed if the drive is encrypted? I assumed ADB SIDELOAD... but not through encryption.

If the answer is "I don't know" -- then can someone help me restore to stock B27. I have a locked bootloader.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] mmamedov:
Xposed should install just fine if you're getting the message in TWRP. Id you're getting the encryption message after the phone is booted and can't access the phone, then you need to format data, then install Xposed so you can use the phone.

Some zips like SuperSU zip will not be able to be installed when the partition is encrypted. Xposed zip should install just fine
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] toastyy:
But if TWRP cannot access the encrypted data, how can one select and flash the TWRP flashable zip that accompanies the Xposed APK? Is the only solution to sideload? I see the option in TWRP but I am not familiar with how to do it.

I was surprised nobody has posted this yet... The new honor 8 was announced in Europe at a launch event in Paris today, for €399 (£369.99 in Britain - yes that's a rip off, approximately $490)

The first thing that shocked me was that its price exceeds that of the OnePlus 3 (£329) even though the OP3 boasts a better chipset, better UI and considerably more RAM, secondly Honor seems to fancy ripping us Brits off while in the US both devices are on sale for $399.

I have made my choice and already ordered my OP3 ;)

It's shocking, especially as the US gets it for £300... Estimates I saw suggested it would start at £225 long prior to its release, so much for that...
