[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] walidham:
Sorry

the Honor 8 does not have Corning Gorilla Glass. It uses Nippon Electric Glass (NEG).
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] DigiGoon:
So it doesn't have any protection at all?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] walidham:
It is said that NEG glass is as good as Gorilla glass and dragontrail glass if not better. There is not much technical detail available about the new Scratch resistant glass from NEG used in mobile phones, but there are good and positive reviews about this new glass. So if your new smartphone does not have Gorilla Glass or Dragontrail Glass protection but has NEG Glass protection then you don’t have to worry about it as your smartphone screen will be as safe as it would have been with the other two.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] DigiGoon:
Oh nice, thanks for the info. I didn't knew this. :) :D

Where did you read this? Managed to break the back cover on my New Honor 8 today.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] bricky23:
Did you register for free replacement if glass broken for 3 months? I quoted someone else, but it appears that they were wrong. Any glass will break. I broke the screen on a s7 edge. And it was gorilla Glass 4. From a 2 foot drop.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] vsriram92:
NEG or Nippon Electric Glass for mobile devices is a very hard, high tensile strength and scratch resistant glass that is used as a protection glass in smartphones, tablets and may be other mobile devices. Just like Gorilla Glass and Dragontrail Glass, NEG glass is also very hard and flexible which prevents scratches and damage due to minor drops and rough handling.

The special name or the brand name of NEG’s Scratch Resistant Glass for Smartphone, Tablets and other Mobile devices is Dinorex. NEG chose the name Dinorex, a portmanteau meaning kinsg of dinosaurs, based on the image of the Tyrannosauraus Rex, known to be the strongest of Dinosaurs. The name indicates the strength and toughness of the glass against cracks and scratches.

dinorex-glass-for-mobiles

NEG’s Dinorex is made hard and strong using chemical strengthening. This process for strengthening is known as Ion exchange mechanism where glass containing sodium ions (Na+) is soaked in a potassium nitrate solution containing potassium ions (K+), the Na+ ions on the glass surface change places with the K+ ions in the solution. The resulting K+ ions have a larger diameter than the Na+ ions and exert compressive stress on the glass surface. The glass thus produced can also withstand a hammer blow without breaking.

Mine has deep scratches in the first week of use with no protection.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] kbhatia1:
yes it has

yes HONOR 8 has glass gard which has coating of Corning's scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 3 so don't worry about scratches :o :o
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Nyssa1104:
The only Huawei or Honor site or info which states that Honor 8 has Gorilla Glass 3 in on Huawei Russia homepage. No other document or site has confirmed that Honor 8 has Gorilla Glass of any description.

So yes l would be worried hence reports some have damaged screen and this is not due to rough handling or misuse..
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Palux:
Corning site said "Gorilla Glass".

https://www.corning.com/gorillaglass/worldwide/en/products-with-gorilla/huawei/honor-8.html

And:

https://www.corning.com/gorillaglass/worldwide/en/products-with-gorilla/huawei.html

So, Honor 8 used Gorilla Glass.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] vyper4:
So can anyone who has had the phone for awhile say whether or not the screen scratches easily?

I have one coming in this week and I'm excited for it but I wanna know if I'll need to get a tempered glass screen protector( I really don't like how they look on this phone).

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] timwelter:
I think the front panel is GC but the back isn't, since it scratches VERY easily. (stupid design decision because the phone lies on its back more than the front)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] AhhdafunK01:
I can assure you that Corning Gorilla Glass is bad right now !

On my ex-OP3 you have little scratches on the screen and he had Gorilla glass...

The pb is that the new corning tec is using less stronger glass to prevent and absorb the impact !

On my Honor, perfect for now
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] johnhux7:
Hey guys, I just got my honor 8 and whilst very pleased with it I'm almost to scared to use it coz of all the glass !! How strong are these things ?

I'm not taking it out and using properly till I got it in a good case.

Has anybody dropped their phone as yet ?

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] oifi:
From breast hight on wooden floor with original tpu case. Not even a scratch.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] vsriram92:
I don't say that they are strong. But I can say that they are not weak. However its a glass rather than a metal or plastic. So need to handle little bit carefully.

Have seen a person in this forum who replaced the broken glass under warranty.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] AnDrOiiiD_YT:
Does anyone know if Honor replaces the back glass on warranty? My back glass is scratched... [MENTION=7679838]HonorUSA_Noah[/MENTION] maybe you can give me an answer? I life in Switzerland and there's no Honor Shop I know here. I bought it from digitec.ch
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] johnhux7:
I have taken mine straight out of the box and into a case. It all looks and feels to easy to scratch and break and I would be gutted !

Beautiful phone !
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] HonorUSA_Noah:
Hi There, we do warranty a 3-month screen protection policy from date of purchase for US devices only. Since the device was purchase through www.digitec.ch -- we ask that you reach out to them for support. Unfortunately, we are the US-based Honor support and would not be able to service/warranty international devices purchased via third-parties. If you have any other questions, please let us know. (NS)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Huawei UK:
Hi all,

As stated on the Corning website the Honor 8 does in fact use Gorilla Glass 3 on it`s front panel.

Cheers
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] vsriram92:
Is this irrespective of the variant?

L-04, 14, L-09, 19 and L-02 ?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] sysak:
I applied this: click on my phone after purchase and after nearly two months of relatively careful use without case there is not a single mark on the rear, and a few very small scratches on the front. I was worried after i got the phone, since I've read that it scratches very easily, but honestly so far it's not bad at all. I wonder how much this nano-coating has to do with it, because it's a half-measure at best. I refuse to use cases, especially with a phone that looks this good.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] HayateYuki:
I know for sure that the L04 has it since I emailed then since I was really curious. However, I'm pretty sure they all have Gorilla Glass 3 on the front panel.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] vsriram92:
This phone is bought to enjoy and feel it's glassy looks. So I also don't prefer to put a case and hide all ita beauty within it.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] jkccl9:
Use clear case
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Huawei UK:
Yes,

All of these variants have Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

Cheers
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] AllieKitty:
This. It really doesn't matter what glass is used in terms of scratching, and as much as they're like you to believe so, Corning isn't the only maker of quality glass.

All cover glass will scratch with sand particles in your pockets, etc (well all get them). And no cover glass will scratch with pretty much anything else it is likely to encounter, so it just doesn't matter which one your phone has in terms of scratch resistance.

The bigger difference between various cover glasses is how resistant they are to shattering. However, I would not suggest you even consider the cover glass as a factor in your decision. Why? Because the design of the phone bezel matters far more than the cover glass to reducing damage from common corner impacts...

Mine slid off a counter in an airport and didn't get so much as a scratch.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Killsh0t:
Nope, I am a proud Honor 8 owner (going to Samsung Galaxy S9 on release date) and my front screen has 5 scratches and I haven't dropped it or put it even NEAR sharp objects yet. Definitely no Gorilla Glass. The back has so many scratches let's just not talk about it. No. Gorilla. Glass. Not worth just for that. :)

I've managed to extract the system files (and kernel) from the zip, but no luck in flashing it back using fastboot. I think the problem is in the conversion from raw image to sparse (that fastboot uses).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralp5628:
Guys, I figured out how to reverse the situation of hard brick.

1) First you need to download the kernel source code on the asus website. The file name is: ASUS Live (G500TG) Kernel Code (V12.0.0.26). Here is:

http :// dlcdnet.asus .com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/G500TG/G500TG_Kernel_V12_0_0_26.zip?_ga=1.213911127.1348745149.1467264204

Inside it there are the images of all partitions, including scatter file.

2) You will need to download a program called SP Flash tool. Here: http :// spflashtool .com/. I'm currently using v5.1628

3) Open the tool flash sp as administrator (on Windows) or administrator privileges (using sudo on linux).

4) Extract the downloaded file and select the scatter file in sp flash tool.

5) Select download only.

6) Leave the phone without the battery for 30 seconds before connecting it to your computer. Put the battery again. Holding the - button (lower volume) connect it to the computer. Wait a bit and release the button. Click download in flash tool sp.

7) Wait until all the transfer is completed. After finishing connect the phone and put it to charge on power supply.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] LGB:
I have had GPS receivers previously as well as used some, both normal consumer as well as aviation grade GPS systems. Now I have the Kaiser/TyTN II and I am impressed with how sensitive it is! For not losing signal or dropping position I am amazed, good stuff!

BUT ... since it uses so much battery when the GPS is running, I sometimes turn it of for a while, then on later on again. Especially when moving a lot while being turned off (flying or driving), turning it back on can sometimes give problems getting a new fix! Sometimes it gets a fix quickly, but it is hundreds or thousands of miles off. I know it is complicated 3D math for a GPS to aquire its position, and I know it is possible to get a false lock, but the GPS receivers I have tried and had previously never accepted a bad fix.

The unit knows where the satellites are supposed to be, given the time and approximate position, so that is what it assumes. But when it has been off, and then on again and only moved some hundred miles, it can get this false position fix that it cannot get out of easily. If I turn it off again and wait until none of the previous satellites are in view (flying for another hour for instance), it finally realizes it has to start over with a new fix. Older GPS units I used/had often had an option of making a cold start fix (search the sky, autosearch or other names for basically the same thing). It is also sometimes possible to specify or change the last "known" position of the GPS to make it easier for it to get a new fix again. The latter requires that you either can find your rough position in a map or you know a rough lat/lon position.

So, two questions:

1) How do I break a bad fix, tell the unit it is on a wrong path - do a renewed search the sky?

2) How can I change the "previous GPS position" so the GPS unit is forced to assume another position?

I have some GPS applications where you can change the last know position, but it only seems to stay in the program, it is not fed back into the GPS receiver.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] LGB:
No comments here? Must be others with the same problem. Even the oldest, most basic GPS units had an option to enter position manually, or to enforce a new search from scratch. There must at least be some kind of reset function! (NOT hard reset, thanks!)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] the-uki:
I tried google maps and discovered that my actual position was off by some 50 meters from where I actually was. Then I also discovered that in the area I was, if you superimposed the roads on top of the satellite image in Google maps, it was also set off, by about 10 meters only.

Ever since I tried Google maps, my GPS fixes correctly and updates data all the time, but with some programs speed remains 0 and direction remains north even if I move around. After re-flashing the original rom everything is back to normal. Do you know why this happened?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jonaslo:
I have got the same problem.

Once after using TrackMe and once after getting my position in Virtual Earth Mobile.

Both times i have used the gps only for a short while and then closed it. On the next start the position has been several hundreds of kilometers off and the speed shows several hundreds kph although I stand still.

Both times the gps has not been ok until the next day.

I have tried to soft reset and also updated the Quick GPS with no result.

I found this thread Kaiser GPS positioning problems which looks a lot like the same.

I have been using the GPS a lot more frequently recently and at first I thought it was these two apps, but now it seem more general. Before I used TomTom on a few occasions with no problem, but then the GPS was on for a longer period.

Anyone else?

I'm trying to build CM13 for the R1 HD by following this guide. I made my way through to the part where I need to issue the "lunch" command to show which devices CM can be built for. Even after (supposedly) making my own local_manifest file correctly which pulls the R1 HD device tree and kernel source from GitHub, my device still doesn't show up when I run lunch.

Here is my local_manifest file, placed in the correct local_manifest folder:

How does android now notify when GPS finds location?

Hi

I have used Android 4.2 and when the GPS is finding a location the notification at the top is distinct from when it has found a location. It flashed when it was finding a location, and was still when it had found a location. I liked them being distinct.

They in a later version they changed that, apparently because having an animated icon at the top there was not good for battery life.

Though it was useful to have distinct icons.. And the later version didn't have any way of telling while glancing at the screen notification icons at the top, whether the GPS signal was found yet or not.

I avoided upgrading because of this but it seems I may have to upgrade because one piece of software that I want requires a later android version.

My question is..

How does android now notify when GPS finds location?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassansheikh:
Hey, so I bought myself a used LG G4. The guy selling it, claimed that it is the international version, I too check it through out, underneath the battery and in the software, it said that it is the international version H815, however today I was trying to unlock the bootloader (which i couldn't) and discovered through the ADB that the LG G4 I have is not the international one, but the sprint one, LS991. I so very confused, above that when I used some random app to check my bootloader status, it is always 'unknown'!

WTF is the problem here! I am so confused :crying:

I just have pac-console and the original marshmallow settings!
