Agree and am regretting this phone purchase. P8Max was much better in every sense- Size/Looks/Premium feel and to some extent even development. Am already planning to sell this off (Will have to incur 50% loss minimum as no one is aware of this phone in India & Huawei have launched Honor 8 @ just $290!) and go for Mi Mix.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jetherson:
So how much are you selling it for in india?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cashif:
Should be able to sell for Max. $250. Had similar experience with Media pad X2 where I bought for $400 and sold for $220 within 2 months.

However, P8 max fetched me good price as I sold for $300 after using a year and half!

I've read this entire discussion, 46 pages (wowzer, hours of reading) to see if I'd be happy buying an HNN8, and, well, I'm not sure.

My take on it so far...

There's only the one hardware version, and you have to check bands carefully for LTE compatibility. I'm in England, so depending on my carrier I might get 4G.

It seems people are very happy with the hardware, that unlocking the bootloader is straight forward, installing TWRP is then easy, and getting GApps working isn't too hard.

There's three official firmware versions, B017, B020 and B022.

There's just thee custom roms, kangvip and others (not sure?).

There's a group of modders on Chinese forums and hopefully their work can be translated to English.

So for me, 'fraid the jury's still out, too early to decide to get one.

Speculatrix, I see u call have a Sony z ultra. I can tell u that the note 8 is a huge step up in screen quality, speakers, and speed. My zu now feels like a dinosaur.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajwillingham:
You missed something. There are 3 ROMs available. The screen is amazing and the camera not so much. Depends on what you are looking for in a phone. It plays all of my games without a hiccup but I am still getting used to EMUI.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Yeah i only miss my P8 max because it was a international version, but the Note 8 is indeed a huge step better. I also love quickcharge ;)

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] speculatrix:
thanks for the responses. I need to make a choice soon because my Xperia ZU's battery is in a bad way, and also the microphone seems to be faulty. I've noticed the HN8 is being discounted more, I guess because of newer Huawei/Honor phones coming along, and the price is quite compelling for what you get.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] juwel1998:
Hey everyone,

so, I finally received the phone, all the settings are made - at least the ones I can think of right now.

Just another question.

Is there anyone here in this forum from Germany maybe using O2?

If yes, do you get 4G LTE?

Because the fastest my phone shows is 3G, H+ or H.

Even at home where my old Mediapad X1 shows constantly 3G, I will only see H or H+ on the HHN8.

Could reason for this slow reception be the Antenna?

Mmmm, my carrier uses LTE Bands 20 - 800 MHz, 3 - 1800 MHz and 7 - 2600 MHz.

Greets,

JULIA

So KangVIP is Chinese language only? Going to unlock, root my Note 8 today and debating custom ROM or stock. The stock ROM out of the box isn't as bad as I thought it would be, I'm digging some of the features (fingerprint swipe for notification panel!).
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] riffy504:
It's mostly in english if that's the language you choose in the beginning. It does have bits of chinese more so than the stock rom did. The only noticeable one is on the lock screen. There is something after the date that's in chinese. In the stock rom I only remember the updater & the odd app here & there in chinese.

That said... I'm liking the KangVIP rom better than the stock rom. With the fingerprint unlock.. I never have to see the lock screen for the most part. Not sure where to get the stock rom to go back either, now that I've flashed the custom rom.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] speculatrix:
I have corrected my post. I was only aware of kangvip, sorry.

Hi guys

I unlocked my note 8 successfully . In startup screen show your devives is unlocked and can not be trusted every time i restar the phone is it normal?

Second thing i flashed twrp by clicking on recovery button then after restarted i clicked on 3rd button of second row to change to english but it didnt say click on english

How to enter twrp recovey i tried pressing power button and volume up nothing happened

Plz help
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] riffy504:
Yuppers.. not trusted cuz ya unlocked it.

Should be volume up & power. You can also do it with the app. The 2nd tab... recovery. Will boot it into recovery too.

You have to click the globe button on the far right to get to the language. It's a ***** to hit! BTW... TWRP has reverted back to chinese a few time now for some reason on mine. It's kind of annoying considering how hard it is to hit that one button.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] murtadha50:
Thanks for reply mate

When i click on recovery to flash twrp it takes me to fastboot&rescuemood for 3 seconds and then reboots the phone

When i click on recovery in the second raw it takes me to HUAWEI ERECOVERY

i cant see twrp installed even if i use volume up +power it takes me to wipe and reboot option

Plz help

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jetherson:
When you get to eRecovery, choose reboot and then press power to select it. Right after that, press VolumeUp key while rebooting. It will then open up TWRP.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] murtadha50:
Yes the phone is unlocked . I tried alot to get twrp but no luck even if i flash recovery and choose twrp it take me to the white screen fastboot mood for 4 seconds and then restart. On computer the app says its flashed well

I did and took me to erocvery not twrp
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] riffy504:
I'm stumped.. maybe redownload the files? Maybe the TWRP image is messed up. I really don't know. I did it a few times & it worked without issue each time. You're on the right version & you seem to be doing it right so... no clue. :(
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] murtadha50:
Weird isnt? I tried alot

I will try other pc with fresh setup
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] riffy504:
I think that TWRP image is a little wonky to begin with. I've had it revert to chinese, buttons are really hard to hit & I've had it boot into the stock recovery a couple of times with TWRP installed. But it's the only one we have for now.

I'd redownload & start again. I really am stumped. Wish I could be of more help.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jetherson:
If you

successfully

installed TWRP:

While switched off, if you press power+volumeup, it should load twrp right away.

http://jetherson.com/life2/q/-temp/20161109 150814a-1.mp4

While switched off, if you press power, and then longpress volumeup while in the menu, it will load eRecovery. Once in eRecovery, you can choose reboot, and then press volumeup while rebooting to load TWRP.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] murtadha50:
I did what you show me but instead of twrp it enter erecovery not twrp
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jetherson:
Then you probably have not installed TWRP correctly. Try reinstalling it again and then follow the steps in the second video. Hope you get it to work.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] murtadha50:
Clicked on recovery and selected recovery_twrp.img it switch off then entered fastboot for few seconds . tge app says you r doñe and flashed successfuly

Still i cant get twrp i used 2pcs even i tried to flash it by fastboot it gives me error
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jlomein:
I figured out how to remove that:

On your phone with KangVIP ROM, go to Settings > K settings > Lockscreen and desktop settings > toggle Lunar Calendar to off.

Hello All!

I saw this user's note in the Honor 8's section and I am noticing the same thing. I am going to quote him here because it is the exact same for me:

"hi guys,

In my opinion the fingerprint unlock is getting slower from time to time.

When the screen is completely off it takes around 2s.

If the screen is on and device locked it's quite fast.

Looks like there is a kind of deep standby."

Has anyone experienced this? Could it be caused by an app? I am stock by the way. I tried registering new prints, but the same happens. Whenever the phone is charging, it pops up pretty quickly as well. I only notice it when the phone is coming out of a deep sleep. Again, it's not a huge deal since it's still faster than most, but was wondering if there is a remedy.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] turnjet:
Not seen any lag on the fingerprint front.

Has anyone seen a VR headset for this 6.6-inch behemoth?

I can only find headsets up to 6 inches.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] murtadha50:
Why cant get twrp on my phone :( i tried alot but no luck
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajwillingham:
No lag either on my fingerprint sensor. And I haven't seen any VR headsets for a phone this big. Google outed their Daydream specs and the max screen size is 6 inches unfortunately.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mrplennium:
What size memory card are you using? I am using a 256 GB. I was told that that could be causing the slower speeds. Anyone else using that capacity?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] riffy504:
256 here too & no lag at all.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mrplennium:
Originally I thought I knew what app it was, but turned out not to be that. I definitely have something occupying my CPU. When the phone is charging or I just wake it up and try multiple times, it's lightening fast. It's still pretty fast with the lag, but just not lightening fast :D
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] riffy504:
Don't know if it matters but, I've frozen a lot of the Huawei apps with titanium backup.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mrplennium:

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mrplennium:
I mostly disabled those. When I take the memory card out, I do get a quicker consistent unlock, but I'm ruling that out since you have the same capacity and don't have that issue. Interesting enough, I've always had my 256 GB card in and it was never an issue. It just started like 2, maybe 3 days ago. Yesterday 's been a week since I have the device.

thanks, I didn't see a response to the question about AptX

the AptX codec is owned by Qualcomm now, and I think it might need the right kind of bluetooth chip to provide the DSP to do the encoding?

Huawei don't feature on the Qualcomm/AptX site, so I guess not

You should get lte on 3 and 7 since it supports 1 3 7 fdd lte bands. Might be obvious but have you check sim settings to enable lte, also is cat6 enabled, I found that sometimes disabling or enabling it made a difference to what tower my phone would grab. I only have band 7 towers in Canada but I can get lte in range of them. H+ otherwise. Check tower map to see if any lte band 3 or 7 in range of your location? Not sure what site that would be for Germany. Cellmapper.net could work

towers 3 and 7 Looks like there are only a few of these towers, mainly band 20

Greets,

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gn0s1s:
Screen shots of the menu's

Here are some screen shots of the menu's should be in linear sequential order... but imgur might randomize them... basically those are all the settings that need to be on... the Cat6 aggregation, you can toggle to see if it makes a difference, but more likely the 3 and 7 towers in germany are no where near you.. so you will be unable to get LTE. Use the map i linked and zoom into your area, I have the filters set for towers 3 and 7, if there are none within a close area you may be out of luck.

Here is a pic from Verizon... explaining thier 700mhz band.. but its useful because bands 3 (1800mhz) and 7 (2600mhz) are short range LTE but high throughput, so if you connect, you should have very high speeds depending on how many are connected to tower... and the down side is band 20 (800mhz) has 2.9 times the range, distance wise... but that is missing from our note 8's for europe.

Has anyone else disabled Phone Manager? I've been having problems galore with installing new apps, permissions, notifications and wonder if it's due to Phone Manager being disabled through Titanium Backup, or some other Huawei app I've disabled. I'm using KangVIP ROM.

I think I might switch back to stock ROM. In KangVIP settings I have the navbar buttons at the max size, but they're still incredibly hard to touch. Sometimes I'll have to touch the Home button 10 times before I get it to work. Didn't have this issue on stock ROM.

Hey gn0s1s,

thanks a lot for showing me the "more" settings..... I adjusted the settings the way you explained.

So I guess, I will have to go to the big cities to hopefully get 4G-LTE.

The graph you displayed is very explanatory. Do you have any idea where the 2600 MHz is "located" at?

There is another setting I have a question about:

under "DUAL CARD MANAGEMENT" - the cell phone shows you about the abilities of your sim cards and how many you are using.

There is a "setting" where I cannot do anything.........

4G/3G slot Card 1: grey, not changable circle; Card 2: nothing

Default mobile data Card 1: grey, not changable circle; Card 2: nothing

Or are those settings not meant to be "adjusted"?

One more thing: When I try to "activate" my cell after it had been in "deep sleep" (not being used from 2 hours up) it takes about 2 sec. before it will react on my fingerprint. Is that normal?

Greets,
