Thanks! I got the command window to open but now I get this message when I type adb devices... my Note 8 is connected and Hisuite is connected and recognizes the device as well:

\Downloads\platform-tools-latest-windows>adb devices

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

Now I got this message when I put on USB debugging and then connected to my laptop:

\Downloads\platform-tools-latest-windows\platform-tools>adb devices

List of devices attached

adb server version (31) doesn't match this client (39); killing...

* daemon started successfully *

I then typed in adb shell and got this error:

\Downloads\platform-tools-latest-windows\platform-tools>adb shell

error: no devices/emulators found

I must admit that I am not good with this stuff, as I have never rooted or anything like that, but I am able to follow instructions such as the guide you linked me on how to re-enable the cmd prompt. I'm not sure what else I need to do to get it working. Is it that when I connect to my laptop and it automatically connects and opens Hisuite prevents ADB from seeing my attached device?

I don't think I had this problem

Anyway, have you tried rebooting your laptop and phone?

Also try to close hisuite before launching adb

you can also try this https://stackoverflow.com/questions...server-version-31-doesnt-match-this-client-36

I added a picture of the answer that helped me (though it was a different problem)

Tell me if it helps.

Price Honor Note 9

I just purchased the Note 8 at an EXCELLENT price. The note 9 isnt going to do much more. If you are a photographer, buy a real camera but I dont see a need to spend double on a phone that does 2 things more than its predecessor.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanox1972:
I think it will be much better, but more than 500 euro not acceptable
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] misswham:
I'm sure but each time I purchase the next phone I still only use certain apps and most never really utilize those 3 new features they could have included in its predecessor. My main reason for not waiting in the 9 was I heard it wont have the jack for the 3.5 ear piece and I like that. Don't want to be forced to use a bluetooth.

If it wasn't for the notification issues my note 8 would be the best phone I've ever had! It's super quick and does everything I will ever need! I am seriously considering putting a custom ROM on it!

Notifications

Google notifications for Honor Note 8. All of my notifications are coming through. I haven't missed a one. I don't have a Facebook account but my emails come through, my Instagram comes through and my Twitter. And I'm about to turn Twitter off because it goes off too much. But Google the instructions and follow them and they do work. Also go to YouTube there is an instructional video there

Hello!

I'm looking at this phone, and I want to upgrade to it from having a Xiaomi Mi Max at the moment. Mi Max 2 looks a bit disapointing, considering that it brings literally zero improvements over Mi Max, and Samsung Note 8 is a bit expensive in comparison...

I need a phone with at least 6" of display, the more the better, and really high luminosity. What is the luminosity of Honor Note 8? Is it any good? Also, do you recommend it in general? Anyone got from a Mi Max to a Note 8? How do you feel about them?

are there things I should know about this before I order one?

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

Oh yes, another, really important question. Since this is AMOLED, has anyone seen any screen burn-in?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mwarner:
I have all three devices that you are considering - a Mi Max original (SD 652), an Honor Note 8 and a Mi Max 2 Global Version.

Personally, my favourite of all three is the Mi Max 2 by some way.

While the Mi Max 1 is, on paper and with benchmarks, more powerful with its SD650/652, in reality the SD625 of the Max 2 feels - if anything - snappier in operation.

The Max 2 also has a much nicer build, really superb battery life and a significantly better camera.

The Note 8 is a nice device in terms of hardware, but has significantly more software issues than the Xiaomi phones, so is rather frustrating in everyday use. I have made a Custom ROM for the Note 8 so so know the device quite well.

So, from experience (currently owning all three devices and having made ROMs for all three too) I would recommend the Max 2 quite a bit above the other two devices, despite looking the 'worst' on paper.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman901:
I can't talk about the Mi Max, but I came from the Mi Mix. I think the Mix is a great phone that lacks support. It's still stuck on Marshmallow if you don't want to root. Also, I noticed my Bluetooth connection was really quirky.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] edit:
I come from Mi Max 1. It is a great phone except the camera that has poor quality and really bad focus issues in low light. Also i did not like the screen very much... The way it's lit to be more specific... Hard to explain... Brightness suffers a lot depending on the viewing angle.

Honor Note 8 display is evenly lit and the brightness does not suffer much if you change the view angle, it's an amoled after all. The colours are nice but the screen is not very bright. It more then adequate indoors but in the sunlight it hard to see. Unlike the Samsung phones this Huawei does not have the outdoor screen light boost.

Huawei is behind Mi Max when it comes to software and features... I miss not having Volte or HD Voice... Mobile data counter implementation is poor especially when you are in roaming... hardware acceleration is now working on Huawei when it comes to watching movies with MXPlayer... Notifications issuee from apps... And the list can continue but i am not sure that people are interested so i'll stop here.

Bottom line : I love this phone for it's big screen (biggest amoled on a phone, lovely for watching movies), battery and decent CPU... But you really need to accept it's software shortcomings.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skerry2006aj:
Can't seem to quote a message so well...

Thank you for your answers!

I was looking at the rather optimistic build quality of Mi Max 2, but its CPU and especially GPU is lacking, I'd really want a phone that can play games smoother, hence the consideration for Note 8.

At the end of the day, I think that the most important aspect will be the display, Mi Max 2 probably has the same display as Mi Max, which wasn't bad, but how does it compare to Note8? Is it less vibrant, or more vibrant? Also can Note8 go brghter, or is Mi Max 2 the brightest of the bunch? This is quite important for me, because I need max brightness to be really high since I use the phone a bit during daylight and I need it to be bright in full sunblaze.

About the problems of Note8, I just started reading, but what problems does it have, software wise? I'm not the most patient person and I'd like something with a finished software if possible...

About Mi Mix, it looks like Xioami did try an experiment, but like any experiment, many of its features seem experimental, even on paper.

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

Seems that I can quote if I hit reply....

Thank you for your answer!

If you're playing a GPU / CPU intensive game, would you rate Note8 higher than Mi Max / Mi Max 2?

I am interested in knowing all the software problems it has, Huawei should know that people are aware of those and should fix them...

Once again, thank you for all your answers, it helps me quite a lot.

The only other phone on the market with this big of a screen and something like respectable hardware would probably be Samsung Note 8, but that one is double the price of Huawei Note8 at this moment, and I'm not sure if its display is better for movies, the skewy aspect ratio might lead to even less actual usable screen space on Samsung Note 8...

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

Thinkint about it, it is ironic. The only reason I am looking into Note 8 from Huawei is the display size, which is also probably the most polarizing feature of it...
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mwarner:
Slightly off topic, but the Mi Mix is on Android 7.0 currently:

The Xiaomi underlying OS versions can be seen on the Xiaomi.eu table below:

The main issue with the Honor firmware is that it does what many Chinese ROMs do, and that is to kill applications and services that are running in the background regularly.

While you can bypass this quite well on a Xiaomi phone, there is no way to fully avoid missed notifications on the Honor due to background task killing.

I have written up a post on my Blog to improve the situation as much as possible, but you will still find things are killed off when you don't want them to be. This is probably the worst issue with the Note 8. Other than this it's a nice device.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skerry2006aj:
that moment when you said that it is a nice device, but this appears under the post :D

honestly, will Mi Max 2 be okay for gaming? I tend to game a bit...
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gman901:
When did it go to 7.0? I checked the other day and the global stable ROM was showing MIUI 8.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] edit:
Display wise... You can't compare the Huawei Note 8 amoled with the Mi Max 1/2 IPS LCD.... SuperAmoled wins hands down in my opinion. They way it's evenly lit no matter the angle you look at it (high viewing angles) compared to the Mi Max 1 screen that although it's an IPS LCD that on paper has also high viewing angles I found to have poor blacklight implementation and brightness issues. When you look at the phone dead center it's great... but once you shift it left or right.... sad.

I found the colours pretty good on both phones... SuperAmoled is a bit better... more punchy... more contrast... it's SuperAmoled... In the end I have to say that it's a bit unfair to compare LCD with SuperAmoled especially when the IPS LCD display on the Mi is not top quality.

When it comes to brightness from what I have read the Mi Max 2 has the best brightness around 530 nits.... Mi Max 1 had 425 nits.... I did not found any numbers for HW Note 8 but it's definitely not around 500 nits... maybe 400-440 nits to my eyes... but I don't have any means to test the HWN8 so take it with grain of salt.

The downside of amoled is that it ages (the screen gets an yellowish cast) and for heavy texters it might suffer burn in

About the bugs... the updates are slow... some features don't work and are left for dead for months now... 1 simple example : since the screen is 2K you have the ability to switch the display to FHD to save power and boost performance in games in theory.... the option (virtual button) is there but it does not work anymore for months. It's not like there is a bug tough to reproduce and they did not found a way to trigger the bug... it's a simple button... you push it... it's ON... nothing happens... push it again.. it's OFF... nothing happens... again. How hard is to see that and fix it? Yes you can live without it but it's annoying that it worked once and now...

I rarely play games but when it comes to performance I found it to be similar of the Mi Max 1.... but again... I rarely play games so I can't tell how the latest games play on this thing...

I mainly use it to read... and I read a lot... I watch a lot of Netflix and for that Super Amoled rules.... I listen to music..... and of course talk on the phone a bit and text a bit.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skerry2006aj:
Thank you for your help!

I think it is safer for me to just go with Mi Max 2 in this case!
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] edit:
I mainly switched from Mi Max 1 to Honor Note 8 mainly for the screen... I wanted the biggest amoled screen possible.... because I read a lot and I don't mind having a big phone.... and the Honor N8 is the biggest I could find and I don't regret my decision.

My usage pattern is pretty simple and I tend adapt pretty quick to a new phone so it was easy for me to live with the N8 software quirks and bugs.... but I must also admit that this phone is not exactly for everyone.

The ideal scenario would to buy it... test it and return it... and maybe pick up the Mi Max 2?

One things that Mi Max 2 wins hands down is the price.... it's A LOT cheaper than the HN8.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] eddie1:
Or wait for Honor note 9.

Hopefully it'll be here soon and will have an international version because the Chinese version software is just damn stupid and annoying.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skerry2006aj:
Ordered Mi Max 2 for now. Let's hope I won't be disappointed.

Worst case scenario, I'll also order Note 9 when it comes out. Note 8 doesn't really make me lust for it, especially because it doesn't feature the best brightness nor the best software support. Xioami did really good with software support thus far, I hope they didn't screw on Mi Max 2.

Thank you for your help, everyone!
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ogoobaby:
I think for brightness , ur wrong but for software support ur right which is common in huawei devices. But u would had thought of hardware also.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skerry2006aj:
I really need USB DAC support on a smartphone, my understanding is that Huawei having bad software support would not support this little feature either, this is pretty serious, but I have high hopes that their Note 9 might support this little feature just fine!

About the brightness, it is not something I know for sure, but something I understood from what I read around the net.

Will the "quick update" work even though my bootloader is unlocked and my device is rooted?

What will happen if I click "quick update"?

I'm currently backing up everything through TWRP so I can test the updater afterwards.

Also, there's changlog in there. Can anybody translate?

Thanks so much.

Now I can't backup Data.. Not sure what's going on.

I now know what happens when you try to update your Note8 when your bootloader is unlocked and device is rooted. The download works but updating in TWRP just fails miserably.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] svyr:
hello,

here's my experience with the device

Got my 128gb version from eglobaldigitalcameras earlier this week.

Overall - really good . (replacing a Samsung Note 3)

Google Market can be installed by installing the somewhat older APK from xda (it's signed by google and checks out so that's good).

You can then install youtube, google calendar, Chrome, etc without issues or update webview.

You DON'T need custom recovery or root for it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1996995

There's a bit of bloatware and lots of huawei apps. With Android 6 permissions and disabling apps I've either disabled, uninstalled or revoked all the rights to things like Huawei Voice, Huawei ID ,etc. Just do the same, drag the apps that want you to use the Huawei ID into a folder and forget they exist

Like the new permission system. Plus the network usage control is similar to no-root-firewall (can control what apps use data or wifi or neither denying internet access)

Still waiting for the flip case and the 'nillkin' screen protector .

Screen is pretty nice, but had to increase font size and enable the yellow hue to ease eye strain.

Couple of things that do annoy me are:

a) slippery body

b) can't encrypt your data - unlike the old note 3 or samsung edge 7. (not compatible with totalitarian government ;) )

c) soft keys aren't hideable like on my old Leagoo shark 1 (some apps e.g. games hide them, but in browsers you lose a bit of screen)

you could install full!screen+ but unfortunately need root for it

d) stock auto brightness wasn't great, had to install Lux ($2?)

e) it's still really bloody huge. e.g. if someone calls me for say 20m - hand gets tired from holding such a wide phone.

some useful links :

xxroot - forum-145-1.html (again google translate)

club huawei forum-2447-1.html (again google translate)

I don't think you can root 022 firmware yet (out for <= 5 days) (although - - there's a thread on xxroot)

anyone try the nano sim + microsd sandwich ? I've screwed up my leagoo phone that way so I'm not exactly keen to try.

oh and 4g speeds and reception in Australia with this thing is great. Picks up 4 and 3g much better than my note 3 used to.
