[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alvaro2017_:
Hi. Has anyone experienced 'temperature of your phone is too low' notifications with this model: Honor Note 8 EDI-AL10.

I've taken good care of this phone but the phone often displays "Attention. Battery temperature is too low. functionality is limited".

When I test the temperature of the battery with the Ampere app, it says the temperature is often between -13°c and -31°c which it clearly isn't as it's never been in below zero conditions.

When this issue arises it prevents the phone from charging continuously and if I turn it off, it then won't reliably switch on until some indeterminate time whilst I keep trying to turn it on. The notification messages are actioned/closed by a "OK" button or back but only then do they disappear. They repeatedly appear though, sometimes every minute or two. for example, yesterday I had to repeatedly touch to close them because they kept appearing over my satnav whilst I was driving :(

The fault also seemed to cause the battery to be incorrectly suddenly at 19% for a couple of hours until I rebooted the phone at which point the battery corrected to 27% without any charge.

Honor UK said it's a software problem and weren't at all helpful as they "don't support this model". They initially said clearing the partition cache and rebooting would help, or resetting the device before deciding they don't support the Note 8. Neither has solved the issue. I suspect it's probably a hardware issue. Does anyone know if this a battery issue, or something else?

I've been considering buying a replacement official battery from China to see if that solves the issue, does anyone know anywhere in London that will fit it? I found a disassembly video on YouTube to maybe try it myself but it looks like they damage the camera strip to get it open, which isn't ideal. :-/

Thanks for any pointers folks and Happy New Year! :)
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] letschky:
how long do you have the HN8?

Which Software Version?

I thinks this is not a Battery Problem.

I have the HN8 since November 2016 and no Problems
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alvaro2017_:
Hi Letschky.

Happy new year and thanks for responding. I've had my Honor Note 8 since May 2017.

My Note 8 is on build EDI-AL10C233B358. EMUi Version 5.0.1. 24th November 2017 kernel. Android 7.0.

I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware issue, it's weird. I've done a full factory reset to the device a couple of times and this doesn't resolve the issue.

I couldn't find any mentions of this issue online but guess the majority of owners are based in the Chinese market so perhaps it's not that widely reported on European forums.

I've got a new Huawei battery on order from China but that's a last resort really as I haven't yet found a London repair shop who are familiar enough to repair the device. Any thoughts?

Cheers, Al

Good morning, the camera has a problem acquiring the right shade of red. It is acquired as fuxia. Is there a solution to correct this problem?

Thanks
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] letschky:
Hi and Happy new Year!

I would do the same if the battery gets bad.

Buy the Battery and go to the repair shop.

I love this phone and I would not just throw it away

Of course it depends on the price

The new cost 299 Euros (eglobalcentral.de) and no customs in Europe.Shipping from GB or NL
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] edit:
On eglobalcentral.eu it's even cheaper, 287 euros, but for some unknown reason they aren't shipping it in all EU countries like for instance Romania. Do you guys know any other big and trusted EU shop that will ship the phone in all the EU countries? A friend asked me after seening my phone but he would like the 128Gb version if possible.

Thanks
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] letschky:
From Eu

https://www.eudirect.shop/product/huawei-honor-note-8/

But I do not know the shop
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alvaro2017_:
Hi Letschky,

Thanks for your reply. Yeah I think I'll wait until the battery arrives and try one of the repair shops. I have the gold 128GB iteration so reluctant to throw it away given the (still) amazing specs for the money.

You're quite right though, tricky one to balance between the cost of getting it repaired, and putting the money towards a new phone. I'd been waiting for the Honor Note 9 and putting up with this issue but it's got worse lately and the Note 9 doesn't appear to be happening sadly?

I've looked for other 6.4 to 6.6 inch super amoled 2k phones with the build quality and battery of the Honor Note 8 and nothing seems to tick all the boxes like this does, such a shame Huawei has gone heavy on the Mate 10 only this year :(

One thing I have noticed in the Honor Note 8 disassembly video on YouTube is that it appears engineers need to pierce/cut into the camera strip to get into the phone screws :-O dunno how the repair shop would repair that hole if they have to take the strip off to get to the battery. Wish Huawei had just used a clip on or screw! :D

Cheers for the eGlobal pointers, not many showing up on AliExpress these days so maybe stock is starting to dwindle.

Cheers, Al
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alvaro2017_:
Hi [MENTION=309187]edit[/MENTION] / [MENTION=1255102]letschky[/MENTION] / for anyone who's interested the model I have (128GB) is available in gold and silver for about £248 from AliExpress 'Pophong' store, which is where I bought mine from. Can't post the link here unfortunately as too new a member :D

Cheers.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] edit:
Thank you but unfortunately I avoid buying (or advise my friends) from AliExpress due to high VAT and customs taxes in my country when importing items outside EU.

Got the Oppo R11s Plus today and it's a very nice phone. Same AMOLED black like the N8 but the white looks much brighter.

Also nice is navigation gestures, no more navigation keys that's fill the screen :) I'll play some more with this phone and see if this is a keeper.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] varmtkaffe:
NO!

Not having USB C is a total deal breaker for a new phone in 2018. Really, it is simply a mystery they made this phone w/ microUSB. I would absolutely have bought it otherwise.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] letschky:
that's right and the price is too high,But to each his own:)
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] varmtkaffe:
So, you guys reckon it would be worth it to try to modify an Honor 8 lineage ROM and put on the Note 8?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] letschky:
it should not be so easy for Kirin chipset.

Do you have any idea about it?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] varmtkaffe:
No I have no idea, just throwing the idea out there.

My reasoning is simple, as there is a lineage ROM for the Honor 8 which is a similar device (same SOC familly etc), the big problems should be solved I guess. Shouldn't it simply be a matter of modifying what is in that ROM?

Honor8 ROM:

But it would be a cheek if it did not come now is a little over a year oldand they even made us our own forum now

So no oreo definitely? Strange is that p9 and p9 plus are in doubt for it, flagships...

I bet HN8 will be replaced soon by nee big device. Almost sold in China, only gold 128gb can be found still.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] letschky:
Download the lastest official Firmware B358 via erecovery

Download Supersu

Download Twrp 3.1.1-1

Unlock Bootloader

Follow the steps here to begin the Bootloader Unlock process:

https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-r...er-unlock-code

1. a) Install the application

1. b) Follow the steps on the above page to put phone into "Manufacture Mode"

1. c) Under "Select Manufacturer", choose "Huawei Phones" and under "Select Model", choose the model of your phone

1. d) Click on "Buy Credits". You should end up being emailed a username and password, return to the Unlocker Client, and input those two

1. e) The Unlocker Client should return the bootloader unlock code

2. a) Enable Developer Options by clicking on the build number multiple times

2. b) Turn on USB Debugging

3. Prepare and install ADB and Fastboot tools. I used this one http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2588979

4. Go into the folder with your recovery and open a CMD (if you used system-wide ADB as linked above, otherwise place recovery in your ADB folder)

5. Put the phone into Bootloader mode with:

adb reboot bootloader

. This will take you to the bootloader mode (white screen with some small text)

6. Now type:

Code:

fastboot oem unlock <UNLOCK_CODE>

where

Code:

<UNLOCK_CODE>

is the bootloader code that the Unlocker Client gave you

Loading TWRP Custom Recovery

7. Your phone may reboot when the process is complete. We want to go back into Bootloader mode, so follow Step 5 again to go back to bootloader mode

8. Now type:

Code:

fastboot flash recovery <NAME_OF_YOUR_RECOVERY.img>

The recovery will flash over to your device. We want to reboot into the recovery mode.

9. Now type:

Code:

fastboot reboot

but just before you hit ENTER on that command, start holding VOLup and VOLdown at the same time (as explained below)

This phone has two recoveries on it, which is great since it makes it really hard to brick. In order to access custom recovery, you need to hold down both VOL buttons during boot process (from the very beginning) in order to access the custom recovery

Install Supersu wipe cache and reboot
