I updated mine to emui 5 as soon as I got it and I did no comparisons. Can anyone check to see what is the maximum resolution available for video recording? The max I am getting is 1080p.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] EduMonzter:
maximum resolution is full hd.

I've found another bug, sometimes bandwidth speed meter dissappears and have to go to settings to disble/enable, then start working again.

I hav factory reset d phone after installing nougat.. Now the battery seems better and also phone is much faster

Do take a backup before performing factory reset
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] edit:
Watching the thread for a while now. Can you guys recommend an EU store (so I don't have to pay import taxes) where I can purchase this phone. I want a reliable store that will NOT run away with my money

Oh, and I want at least 90 days warranty... for those dead on arrival moments... I would like to know that they will honor the warranty and exchange it.

Since this is a phone that does not sell officially in Europe I cannot find it in my country and also most likely the official Huawei service center will deny repairs under warranty.

Thank you !

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] k@iserex:
I didnt find any EU shop that has note 8, other then one that seemd fishy so i dismissed it. I bought it from here and it went smoothly other then that youll have to pay for VAT and customs fees but they will refund you that amount no problem​once you provide invoice for Tha expense:

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] edit:
I've just tested an Huawei Note 8 and and I've noticed one odd thing : no matter what I was doing 1% of the battery is equivalent of 8 min screen on time. Let me explain :

I ran these scenarios (phone was on 3G the whole time (full signal power), the firmware was the latest B332 (beta?) , few apps installed:

- I've played a local video (sd card) ... at 20% brightness - battery went down 1% after ~ 8 minutes

- I've played the same SD card video at 70% screen brightness - battery went down 1% after ~ 8 minutes... strange different brightness same number of minutes per 1%

- read xda via Chrome browser - after 8 minutes battery went down 1%

- read some web pages with lots of ads - battery went down 1% after ~ 6 minutes.

I was expecting a lot more stamina playing videos to be honest. Videos were played via MxPlayer that by the way does not support any hardware acceleration for playing videos (no HW or HW+ decoding) on the Huawei Note 8.

I am coming from a long line of Samsung phones that have a lot more stamina playing videos and support hardware decoding that most likely is accountable for the stamina i was talking about.

The screen is gorgeous if you like big phones that you use them a lot more for reading and media than for talking. I am still very interested in purchasing one :)

What's your battery experience and SOT ? Is the latest firmware that bad in terms of battery life? Should I update to the B332 or stay on the default (6.0.1).

Thank you !

I bought mine from Wonda Mobile. Took 3 days to arrive in UK (DHL postage) and had to pay £5.00 customs duty .

Wonda mobile immediately refunded the £5.00 back to me.

Impressive service and I'd definitely use them again. I did a lot of research before I bought and Wonda have a lot of happy customers.

I bought it from eglobal without taxes.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] edit:
This is a good option, since is based in UK there aren't any customs fees involved... but has the highest price for the 128Gb version. :(

The problem is since a lot of people tried to avoid playing import taxes and VAT it isn't so easy to trick them anymore.

They ask you for prof of purchase, they check the item on the website to see it;s real price not the declared one and the bigger the price the bigger the tax is.

Strange... when I was opting in MxPlayer for HW or HW+ the movie instantly began to lose frames and it was choppy.... and the phone was also on B332... and the movie was low resolution... no 720p or 1080

Later edit : Guys, are you using MxPlayer and are you able to use HW/HW+ decoding and the movies played are fluent? What settings are you using? what phone firmware?

I've tried everything and could not manage to make it work... on my Samsung the same movie runs perfectly with HW decoding... 30fps

Hi . Finaly the update has come to my device today. B332 . How can we detetc if it is beta or stable ?

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 AM ----------

Mates i want to take a full backup of my phone before updating to b0332 as a pracaution in case i don t like the emui 5.0 to revert the phone to emui 4.1. But i am not very capable nor a fan of root and unlocking boatloders. Is there any method i can use as a non developer. I found below link with instructions but i am not sure if it works:

Is this method for back up of apps or for entire operating system?

Well ,I bought it back in sept with the original rom (I got sick of waiting for sony to give me a decent upgrade path for my z ultra),then came a Oct security patch,and now of course the nougat beta.Tbh I had no issues with failed notifications.The first week was quite full on re:permissions,but once you make your choices,the control the phone gives you over app access is astonishing-and welcome.You dont have to worry about doa/damage problems with amazon,they lean on their sellers so heavily its not going to be an issue.A couple of things to bear in mind as the phone is not officially realeased in Europe/Usa,is that if you have a warranty issue further down the line, or say you crack the screen.I guess repair is going to be a big issue.Thats obviously your/my risk-I'm cool with that.The phone is worth it for me.

I have already had the phone for a few months, (coming from a Galaxy Note 4) due to larger screen. Other than the lack of notifications from apps (which were fixed by removing phone manager app) the phone is a beauty.

Yeasterday I updated to EMUI 5 - Nougat 7. Disappointed from battery (I did hard reset as well) and non-functional lower screen-resolution (nothing changed after turn on "Low resolution power saving", still QHD, I want FullHD).
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] billu:
Does anyone know of a link to all original (Chinese) apps for the note 8?

I disabled some of them in EMUI 4 (using debloater), now that I have upgraded to EMUI 5, I still don't have some of them such as battery manager etc (which prevents me from reducing the screen resolution for example)

Debloater now doesn't even recognise that some of these apps are there and have been blocked any more.

I am only getting 2g service on my T-Mobile Sim, this Sim came out of my note 4 and was getting 4glte. Are there any Apn settings that could be used to make my speed faster?

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] riffy504:
They changed something on their network I think! Both of mine don't get any data as of about a month or so ago. One is stock & the other is unlocked with a custom rom on it... neither one get data now. I've called T-Mobile & they keep telling me they'll look into it & give me a call back.

Really pissed cuz I really like this phone! I even got some odd screen from T-Mobile saying my phone is not compatible with their network once. I really wish I did a screen grab but I was at a freak'n doctor's office.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CptAwesomeTT:
Tmo probably changed their h+ bands to one that's not supported by the hn8... Or your apn settings are incorrect.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] riffy504:
I'd guess it's on TMo's end since 2 different phones dropped off the network here. My mother noticed it a couple months ago, so she says. I just noticed it a couple weeks ago when frantically trying to look something up at the doctor's office. I'm so used to being around WiFi so... I hadn't even noticed till then.

On EMUI 5.0, I can only see a couple which are disabled, but the debloater tool cannot re-enable them. Looks like the tool doesnt work with the latest version.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] riffy504:
I really don't like how skinny & long the S8's are. The 16:9 ratio is better I think not just for media but for games & web. The screen is only 2.89 inches wide so, like half and inch narrower than the Note 8's but almost the same length. Black bands on the sides... seems like such a waste of screen. Also, really not a fan of the all glass body either! Looks great but slippery & who wants to worry about shattering both sides instead of just the screen when dropped.

But.. I'm probly going to have to go the S8+ route, only because I no longer get data with my Note 8 on T-Mobile any more. Went back threw my usage & saw they dropped the data in early December. All 0's after that on data use. I think they might drop the call band soon too. :(

Hi All. Just this took the plunge on this phone given the massive and screen and battery for the price. The more i delve into the settings and fiddle around the more i like it, some great stuff here. HOWEVER, I'm really stuck with getting usb debugging working properly and need some ideas. Basically i want shot of hi voice to make Google voice {ok Google} work as it should. Apparently disabling the former enabled the latter. I have seen here people disabling using the debloater tool referred a few times. My problem is i can't get either my laptop or PC to see the phone. I've tried every combination of setting but debloater never sees my phone. It's the original cable, tried every port in both machines. Installed drivers, everything. Have tried on all the modes files , charging, midi , ethernet usb. I think it's got something to with RSA fingerprint never prompting me on the phone. I have revoked everything and replugged in a million times. Tried the hisuite package debloater just won't see me phone. I can see files so it does connect. I even decided if that doesn't work then I'll root it and disable hi voice with TB. Same problem the tools downloaded from the thread to unlock bootloader dont see the phone. I have also factoried the phone too and still no joy. PCs and laptop Windows 10 64 and phone EMUI 5. Any ideas would be great. Thanks. #edit resolved with latest platform tools download and running ADB DEVICES in cmd window - finally got the rsa fingerprint pop up to accept and everything worked.

I had the exact same issue as you. I think I read another thread that the debloater tool doesn't work with the Note 8's latest software update. I want to replace hivoice with Google voice as well. It seems like with all the great things about this phone, there are just a couple of things that bother me... missing LTE and some of these specific manufacturer quirks in not letting us use other services.

It's a pain but we will get there.

After hours of faffing I got no where but at least have an unlocked bootloader ready for root and TWRP coming to EMUI5. Fingers crossed. [emoji5]
