Thanks will unroot my phone and try this method, i rooted because i use titanium backup now to remove system apps. But yeah with root you don't get ota updates.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] phorenzik:
I went ahead and used this adb method to successfully disable some locked Huawei system apps.

The first 2 are the biggies for me. I absolutely hated the fact that I had no control over them. Removing them has literally transformed my phone.

com.huawei.vassistant (Removing this will enable you to correctly use Google voice/Clip layer)

com.huawei.systemmanger (This is the HORRIBLE thing that stops your notifications from coming through unless apps are already open in system memory. I tested after removing this and my Hangouts messages came through instantly)

com.android.browser

com.huawei.android.hwpay

com.huawei.wallet

com.huawei.yellowpage

com.huawei.hwvplayer.youku

com.huawei.videoeditor

com.iflytek.speechsuite

I dare say there's a lot more that can be disabled too, but this will do for me, for now.

I just debloated hi voice and phone manager

Menus stayed dark even after uninstalling it (there is an option in the phone manager to change system menus to a darker shade)

I also unistalled Android keyboard (AOSP)
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] eddie1:
Well

There is no battery percentage after removing phone manager.

Also you can't control notification settings for each app anymore

I disabled WhatsApp notifications before disabling phone manager and now I can't get it back

Plus I'm not getting my notification!!!!!!!!!

I sent a messenger message from another phone and I didn't receive it.

I'm not quite sure what the problem is

I restarted my phone and no notification from messenger came through

Opened messenger and got the notification and kept getting all the messages.

But after opening so many apps it apearntly got kicked out of the ram and again back to the same problem "no notification"

It is supposed to be restarted in the background but it's not obviously!

Has anyone had the same problem after removing phone manager?

Should I remove something else?

Quick update on my soft-bricked phone. FINALLY got some semblance of life.

TWRP shows for a second and then hastily reboots again. Any ideas about this debauchery?

The reason I can see TWRP is because I used letschky's frd-twrp.img rather than all the other TWRP images.

Video: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bw8-4Z9HqPYRLVk4aG9iR0NsRVU

I also can't use the erase function in fastboot as it says i'm not allowed. Is it possible that this is happening because cache and userdata can't be erased? Does anyone have an image of those files so I can try?

Monster phone but not too big

Got my phone at 5pm June 30th 2017 and LOVE IT. It was not as big as I thought but I came from a LGV10 which is 5.9 so the jump wasn't that obvious for me. It still looks like a phone. Came with google stuff already installed so all I had to do was do an update. The nougat update was there for me to download but when I went to set my notifications (got the info from another video on here & off of an article) the settings menu was different so I had to try to figure out what to do & so far so good (just don't remember what I did). All of my contacts synced smoothly with all my google accts (have 2 add additional accts through the gmail app) but my contact pics DIDN'T. Hope you know how to do that. Had to download a new messenger app because the one that came with it didn't recognize some of the contacts when I tried to text. The GOOGLE VOICE PHONE APPS WORKS. I have it set to ask everytime to make a call and my GV # showed up everytime I called my mother and my landline. Just hope it sticks Downloaded Nova Launcher and it works fine so I have an app drawer but one comes with Nougat. Didn't have much bloatware on mine. I had to change the keyboard to google to get swype to work but I dont have the microphone so i can talk text. I will figure that one out. The do not disturb function is working well so far and this SCREEN, OMG, Its simply gorgeous. It looks like a Galaxy 7 screen to me. The sound is loud and the calls seems fine. Bluetooth worked fine as well as other functions I used on my LGV10. NOWWWW the data speed. The Wi-Fi is normal but I am only getting 3g or H and I knew that. It is noticeably slower than my lgv10 but its fine. Wont notice it after today. Youtube didn't buffer (so far) and the websites are a hair bit slower to come up but if you are a mostly on WI FI like me then it wont be an issue and if you are on data, it wont be an issue after a day. I haven't tried data out and about yet so I dont know how it will function. I'm in South Texas in the USA. I'm sorry but this is the best phone I've owned and I've owned a few. I dont buy phones until they drop dead but I've owned a Galaxy Note 3 & LG V10 and this trumps them all. I'm sure the Galaxy Note 8 will be nice but the GalaxyS8 screen is too skinny for me so it doesnt seem like its 6 2 inches but this is a little more wide but a regular sized person it wont look silly NOW if you are under 5ft and 100 lbs it might but most Americans arent that small anyway. I got mine off of ebay for $400 & I am sooo glad that I did because I got my lg wet and the screen is dark in spots but not bad and after I got some recent updates, it started acting a fool. ( I believe they do that so we can get another phone). Was leary abt the phone being from China but hell all of them are from Asia and It came from Hong Kong in a week via FEDEX. Dont be afraid to buy this AT ALL. The PHONE itself is WONDERFUL if you know how to tinker with a phone but if you just get a phone and start talking then it wont be for you. Scale from 1 to 10, I give this a 9.9.﻿

See picture on how to re-enable battery percentage.

Can't help with the rest. All of my apps were set to notify before I removed phone manager so I have no problems.

If you perform a factory reset, all the apps you disabled will be back so it's fixable.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] phorenzik:
I had this happen for no reason too. I uninstalled Play store and re-downloaded it via Hi app. Once downloaded, open it, and go to settings & check the 'play store version' this should prompt it to check and update to the latest build.

I did have to re-enable storage access again, but it fixed it for me.

[MENTION=1255102]letschky[/MENTION] do you have some rumor specs on this German site? I hope you will also buy it, we need support!
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] eddie1:
Yup I figured it out by chance couple of hours ago.

Thanks.

But it's really annoying that I can no longer change apps notification settings.

You can (kind of) by long pressing the notification

The problem is once you block all the notification from an app you won't be able to turn them on again

Also there is no control over the lock screen notifications.

I expect very similar. I hope it is amoled samsung screen better than hn8. To have brightness boos on direct sun and aspect must be 16x9 . If no I will not buy
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] edit:
The amoled in the HN8 has higher power consumption versus an Samsung SuperAmoled watching the same video at the lowest brightness 1% of battery gives me 8-10 minutes SOT on HN8 and on Samsung A9 Pro between 17-19 minutes SOT.

I always expected to get more SOT with each update but it did not happen.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] letschky:
Samsung 6.0 inch and 5000 mAH Accu

HN8 6,6 inch and 4500 mAH Accu

Normal the samung is better
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] edit:
Well, I am sorry to say it but those 500mAh difference between phones does not count for such a big difference in video SOT between phones.... if you do the math it's a SOT difference of almost 90% and a battery difference of only 11%.

The improvement in SOT for that specific video, Samsung over Huawei is almost 90%... I would attribute the score difference to the battery only if Samsung had 6000mah and HN8 had 3300mah!

Another odd behaviour of the HN8 amoled is that even if I decrease the screen brightness a lot the SOT does not improve much...... With Samsung the difference is big.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanox1972:
But hn8 is 2k screen and c9 or a9, which you compare, fhd. This is important. When I have had hn8, was satisfied with battery. Specially on mm...
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] edit:
Yes... I did not want to take into account the resolution for 2 reasons... One being the fact that Huawei on purpose did not want to solve the resolution selector bug even if it is an obvious bug and easy to replicate so they don't have any excuse not to fix it in the past months... And second any way I am looking at it I can't get over that 90%...

It's a bit like the Note 4 screen versus the Note 3. Both good screens, you can hardly say that you can see the resolution advantage for that size but the Note 4 screen was definitely power hungry. Had those phones and although the Note 4 screen was nice it was just a marketing stunt... Totally useless in my opinion

One more thing... The Samsung display drained a lot less power while I was reading forums in the shade on a hot summer day and the screen light was boosted.

Now for the all reading, I really like my HN8 with all it's software shortcomings, I get around 8 to 10 SoT but I would have loved to have even more. Love the display size, can't even think of buying an phone with a screen size smaller then 6 inch.

I wish it was a bit brighter though...
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanox1972:
I "only" want: brighter screen, always on display and not killing 3rd apps notifications...

And hn8 is great without this things. I know, hn9 will not improve those things. But I will buy probably.

Also screen can be 6,3inch. This now seems optimal to me, in 16x9 of course... My opinion

Facebook Live Stream with Note 8

While I love the Honor Note 8 I am struggling to use it for Facebook Live Streams.

All live stream videos are permanently trying to refocus and especially in changing lights you have a lot of focusing movement in the video. I have a fast and stable 4g connection.

Am I just too stupid to configure the video camera properly, or does anyone have a similar problem.

Any input or solution is very much appreciated.

2. The same as above but in addition to telephony Wi-Fi is turned on.

Just curious, what is the last date Android was updated? I am getting rid of a different phone because it is still on Marshmallow with the latest patch date on 4/1/17. That seems too long to go without a security update. I was hoping Huawei does a better job supporting their phones.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] phorenzik:
5th May 2017 is the most recent security patch. 3 months is too long without a security update IMO. I doubt we'll get any/many more as Huawei will abandon support as soon as the Note 9 is out.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman901:
Hopefully they will update it to July or August. At least that is better than staying in Marshmallow with a 4/1 patch date.

Just got my phone brand new from China. I started installing Google apps and noticed later in the evening that auto rotation in the home screen is not working. I have auto rotate on and it was initially working. Is there another setting that needs to be turned on to get it to work?

Update: I completed a hard reset and auto rotate from the home screen doesn't work. However it seems when I use Chrome or the Play store, the apps auto rotate fine. I'm not terribly upset because my S8 doesn't rotate either but I sure thought that the Note 8 was supposed to rotate on the home screen like a tablet.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] misswham:
Ummmmm, mine does. I have no clue what I did but it does rotate on the home screen.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman901:
What's strange is that my rotation does work within the apps but you would think doing a factory reset should fix it. Is there a difference between a factory reset and a hard reset? When I received the unit, it already was set up with Google Apps and the home screen automatically rotated. I didn't feel good about adding account information to it like that, so I factory reset it. That's when the rotation stopped. I really want to get it working again.

Update:. So I feel stupid! I played around with the device and held my finger down on the home screen and got a message to pinch on the screen to access the home screen menu and found the setting to auto rotate the home screen.
