Damn, thank you for these tweaks. Is there any thread that shows every last tweak for this phone? Also, does anyone know how to keep apps running in the BG?? Swiping sown on the recents is a temporary fix and protected apps doesn't seem to work that well.

Hello letschky,

I quoted (but not all of your post) you, so you know that is meant for you.

I really appreciate you letting us know all about what you found out about changes that can be done to the Honor Note 8.

I have one question though.....

As well I am a little afraid to root this lovely phone, I am not as advanced as all the cracks here seem to be.

I was able, back in the days, to root the S4, because there was a really brilliant explanation on youtube.

Do you maybe have a easy to root scenario for a noobie?

I cannot seem to be able to remove the "Settings"-Button out of the top 9 "shortcuts" field (phone is not rooted).

Is that normal?

I was looking at getting the Honor Note 8, but have a question. Because it has USB-C, I thought it would work with a USB hub and I could extend it to an external monitor. Then I read it didn't support a monitor. Can anyone tell me if this is true?

Thanks in advance,

How do we delete Phone Managed application. It is causing Facebook Messenger to not read notifications when not in recent apps and Google set as home button to be killed. Debloater doesn't have an option for the app to be disabled
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajwillingham:
That sounds good but from what I've read will be no development until we get the source... which Hauwei isn't releasing. That is really confusing to me b/c there are three Chinese roms made by the Huawei pollen club's HRT team. So either Hauwei is releasing their own custom roms, which would be weird, or someone has the source and isn't sharing.

Excellent work!!! Do you know how to mod the phone so that the Playstore recognizes that I am in the U.S. so that I can download PhotoScan?

Adups - http://www.phonearena.com/news/N.Y....-phones-sends-data-to-Chinese-servers_id87822

I'm sure that some of you have already read about the spyware that may be on our phone. I am not able to find it but I am not rooted. Is there someone with a rooted phone that can confirm if the Adups app is on the HN8?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jlomein:
I'm not sure how to search for this. I'm rooted and in Titanium Backup there is no app with "adups" in the name. There are however dozens of Huawei/Chinese apps in TiBU's list and I have no idea what they do.

I'm unaware of any fix for this, and I'm experiencing the same. Once my Note 8 goes into Deep Sleep, all my messaging apps (WhatsApp, LINE) and VOIP app stop pushing notifications. I'll only get new messages and phone calls when I reopen each of those apps.

I've given them all full permissions and in Power Manager toggled System Wakeup, App Auto-Launch, and Keep Running After Screen Off. They're all locked open in Recent Apps by swiping down too.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] speculatrix:
http://androidandme.com/2016/11/news/spyware-allegedly-found-on-brand-new-devices-around-the-world/

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajwillingham:
Thanks for the info. I could find only a bunch of Huawei labeled apps. I really hope we can confirm the presence or lack thereof that app. I can't say that I am surprised that this happened but I didn't think that Huawei would be involved.

Anyone getting any bad scratches on their Note 8 display? I'm debating taking off my tempered glass protector since I believe it's causing touch insensitivity issues.

Does the Note 8 use Nippon Electric Glass Dinorex like the Honor 8? The NEG Dinorex claims to be comparable to Gorilla Glass 3 but real world comments seem to indicate it scratches easily.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajwillingham:
Someone on gsmarea claims to have received information from Honor that the Note 8 uses Gorilla Glass 3.

Also, I am using the Nillkin tempered glass protector. I have no issues with touch sensitivity but it does not cover the entire screen. It is good if you want to put a case on it but not so much if you like your phones naked as I do.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jlomein:
Might give that a shot, since I think my phone's touch problems are due to the halo parts on the sides where the protector doesn't stick to the 2.5D curved edge. Having an undersized protector like yours may actually fix my issue.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] moviehunter2009:
I had the same touch problem with Nilkin protector. Im using another one its much better but is not covering all the screen again,and i dont know if it is so good as Nilkin on protection.. Nilkin for me is the best in protection (it saved many of my phones) but this time I think its a worthless cover for our phones. I tried 3 different companies, 3 different protectors and i think this one is ok with no touch problems.

Hey guys,

I have a question, all the specs around the Internet tells there is 2160p video recording.

However i can't find the setting for 2160p, 1080p is the maximum i can record at.

Anyone already found out how to shoot videos in 2160p?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nicksterrr:
Guys!

I found a quick solution for anyone who is missing notifications when the app is closed by taskmanager or force close.

It's something I just tested multiple times and this solution seems to be the only working one.

I missed a lot of notifications for WhatsApp and Facebook since i closed them on the task manager screen.

The app and the service are being closed both when you do that.

However i found out that when making in a widget keeps the push service keeps working, even after closing the app manually.

I use nova launcher so i created widgets and resized them to the smallest possible.

You can now close these apps without any problems and keeping your notifications alive.

Let me know if it also works for you guys.

Should work with any app that can create widgets as well.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nicksterrr:
Just the standard widget that is provided with the app, I use the one with the "new post, camera, check in".

Works also with the smart power saving.

And for the specs there also listed in this topic on the first page.

Also says 2160p video recording.

has anyone been able to fix the problem with Google not staying opened in background when using it as the Home Button.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nicksterrr:
Same solution as I gave for Facebook and WhatsApp notifications.

Create a widget for Google speech and voila Google stays active without having the program in the taskman.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kalinskym:
what do you mean exactly? how would a widget help Google stay active in the background. What application do you use to do that. Wouldn't it drain the battery quicker
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nicksterrr:
I seems like a widget keeps the services alive for push notifications and speech recognition.

No its not a drainer cause the app itself isn't running.

Give it a try, just use the widget that's included with the app.

This is also how I fixed my push notification problem, I get all the notifications now without having the app in the taskmanager.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kalinskym:
I will try your method using Flow Home as my launcher. Hopefully it will work as this has become an annoying problem for such a long time. Would it kill Google still when you press kill all apps in recent apps.

Do you have Google set as your Home Button.

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

HOLY DAMN. It worked! Thank You Nicksterrr. Before I set it up to open Camera when holding. I don't have to do that anymore. This should be a sticky that and how to disable HiVoice to make a different app/ shortcut work as Home Button without being rooted.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nicksterrr:
No I have not set it as home button, and no it will not kill Google if you close it by taskmanager or when you kill all.

The widgets keeps the services alive when the apps are closed, but there still running on the background like they should when you kill them.

As long if you create a widget for it, it will be working.

I had no notifications for Facebook and WhatsApp, only when I opened the screen and when I killed the apps I first had to open the apps again to get the notifications.

Since I created the widgets that are provided with the app I get all notifications again.

Even when I close the apps in the taskmanager.

Should work for all apps with provided widgets.

You can also shrink the widgets to the minimum size so they don't bother you, I did that as well with nova launcher.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kalinskym:
After using your method. It turns out Google stays in the background but after a while it opens then closes when you use google now on tap not allowing searches to be made. Only fix is opening Google app or clicking on the widget.

It's a much more pleasant experience than before still rough.

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------

How do you create a widget for Facebook Messenger
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nicksterrr:
Did you gave permission in the battery manager to keep Google alive when the screen is off and did you toggle the protection mode for the app?

Mine stays alive and i simply say "okay google" to wake it up again, I don't need to press any buttons to wake it.

Facebook messenger need the same battery settings as the Google app, but when making a widget for Facebook the messenger stays alive as well because the Facebook app tells messenger there is a new message.

Make sure in the Facebook app you turn on notifications for messages.

There is no widget for messenger but the method i mentioned in this post will work.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mscion:
I'm in the same boat about phones. Been looking for a 6" plus phone that gets LTE in US for quite awhile. As far as I can tell, your best bet may be the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro (6.4")which is coming out sometime in the fall (its was supposed to be out by now but was delayed) according to their website it has Google's Tango feature which may make it fun to use. Not sure about processor and camera performance at this point but looks pretty good in general. Another good option might be the Huawei Mate 9 (a tiny 5.9" screen) which will have more up to date specs.

I have just rooted mine today! Team Win has twrp for it already. The procedure is just like any other device, just use adb to flash twrp and The install supersu.

Two things to remember:

1. You need to disable phone finder under security. Otherwise You can't flash recovery

2. After adb flash twrp you need to hold vol+ and vol- together when you adb "fastboot reboot" to enter recovery. Otherwise the stock recovery will revive itself!

Hello ,

Finally found it.(http://cn.club.vmall.com/viewthread...id-orderby-dateline-typeid-4102-page-1-1.html)

It's in chinese , but easy .

Klick the link behind TWRP . Password is last four in this row.

And if you need the link behind recovery (seems to be original recovery).Password like before the last 4 in the row.

Copy SuperSU-v2.78-20160905010000.zip on your phone.

Flash twrp with fastboot like discribed before.

You will see that data could not be mounted in twrp , but don't care.

After flashing superSU , your phone will boot twice.

That's what I did and it's working.

Be carefull , you need to know what you're doing.

I'm rooted and disabled Phone Manager for a while. It broke all my notifications worse than previously.
