Yes they rarely reply to mail, but as long as it matters it does not matter.

I also never had problems with the devices.

But I understand that one then does not feel good if they do not answer or do not arrive.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] varmtkaffe:
Actually they have since confirmed that DPD has acknowlesged they lost/stole the phone and that they (eglobalcentral) will not send another phone.

So since eglobalcentral denies this and the UK consumer law of 2015 clearly states that the selling party is responsible up until the paying party has received its goods that means it is now warranted to call eglobalcentral criminals. They have broken the law.

SO PEOPLE, EGLOBALCENTRAL ARE CRIMINALS - DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

openkirin custom roms and dual sim issue

Hi,

I'd like to install openkirin's custom firmware on note 8.

However, in addition to recognizing only one of the dual sim, it can recognize the carrier but can not use the mobile network.

As I was investigating this issue, I thought that this might be similar to the phenomenon described in HWOTA7's discussion.

The following URL and "Steps:", "19)"

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77161313&postcount=2

If we apply something similar to patch here to note 8, we can use dual sim and use mobile network (possibly volte).

However, this patch is a zip file for twrp and I do not know how to do it on note 8 without twrp (because openkirin does not use twrp) like this.

Does anyone have a good idea?

Best messaging app for Chinese phones?

Hey, again...

I have an issue that I have always had with every true Chinese phone that I have bought....the messaging never quite works properly....I can never get group messages to work....if I reply to a group message, it goes to both recipients in a different message instead of going to both in the same group....I have checked the settings, but it still never has worked.

Do you all have any recommendations for what is the best app to use that truly works for group messaging?

Thanks a lot!

I'm not too familiar with EMUI rom, I had a brief month or two with Mediapad X2. I think the ROM itself is a total pain in the rear I can only barely remember my experience with it. I just want to know if this phone could take Xposed without having to unhook the theme engine? And if it could take any DPI settings without messing up the UI and icons? I like my phones UI really, really small (Currently using Nexus 6 with 289 dpi, which is the lowest possible dpi without having it to switch to tablet UI). That's the 2 most important things for me, xposed and custom DPI. Please enlight me!
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jetherson:
I have xposed running while the default theme engine is also running.

I, personally, also like to use small DPI's. I am almost contented with EMUI's Settings>>Display>>View Mode>>Small. I'm not sure what its DPI is.

I want to apply a smaller DPI for a specific app, so I installed App Settings module in xposed.

Now it's perfect.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cashif:
Have unlocked bootloader and rooted after updating to B022. Have two issues

1. Unable to flash B022.zip from twrp as the file is not visible though it is in the root folder. When I tried thru OTG, it says can't mount and getting some error.

2. For the life of me, couldnt get contacts to sync. Tried thru google store as well as HiApp but no go. From HiApp, when I try to open contacts, am getting error "Cant open <chinese>read instruction & try again"! Should I try sideloading it?

Backing up my p8max and will try to restore thru Huawei Backup and revert back with how it goes.

Also, How do you backup to external sd in Titanium Backup ?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gubbilo144:
If I'm not mistaken, u don't flash the BO22. Zip through twrp, you have to download it and extract it then run the file that says flash all except data storage in Fastboot mode. I've been trying to update from BO22 OR BO17, but I can't get it to boot it just boot loops at honor screen. I can get the BO17 to boot fine but not the BO22

Sorry, I only have updated B022 backups. I mostly use FF and am running smooth as butter. But with FF, u have to (try to) know what you're doing..... and have backups, backups, backups (fall back)....
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jetherson:
What can you say about that scary "huawei" warning on ff?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I decided to take a chance because twrp wasn't working well for me. For instance, it doesn't backup to my external sd whereas FF does that without sweat. And FF also upgraded from B020 to 022 with all my system/data intact. I am no techie, but I just take it step by step.... and ALWAYS have plenty backups..... ??
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hjfisch:
Yes , you have to extract the B022 for sure and to flash all the 4 files with fastboot.

Therefore you can use the flash_all.bat file.

Your phone has to be unlocked and a full wipe is needed.

How did you update from BO20 to BO22 with FF.

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

OK so you have to flash all 4 fastboot files in that folder to get to BO22 up and running. I just been flashing the one file that says flash all except data storage. I'll have to try that when I get home from work in a hour. So do a factory reset the phone before or after doing the fastboot flash
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hjfisch:
Do a full-wipe before flashing.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
>>>>How did you update from BO20 to BO22 with FF.

Please be aware that this is still very much an experimental app; there is a warning against using it to flash firmware on Huawei phones.

You can see what I did at post #223 above. After FF completed flashing the UPDATE. APP, the phone rebooted... into a bootloop. I then restored a twrp backup I had on internal. The phone rebooted successfully, optimized apps then showed successful upgrade to B022. This was all trial & error on my part, YMMV. There was the problem with the initial reboot (bootloop) from FF which I'll have to investigate more next time. The phone is working fine now.

You may want to wipe dalvik/cache before flashing, but only those two.

So, finally restored my Huawei Backup from P8max and all the software works fine but have two major/interconnected issues. When I insert 4g sim, signal keeps dropping every few seconds and I lost 10% battery in just 15 mins (phone keeps refreshing). On checking, there seems to be an apn for TIM Mobile which even if I delete, keeps regenerating itself, so signal keeps fluctuating between my home network (Jio 4g)& Tim mobile. Tried deleting telephony.db from data folder but the apn generates itself and there is no signal for 60% of time & 4g does not work.

When I inserted my 3g sim, am getting only 2g signal (I can live without 4g but need at least 3g). Please help!!

Will flashing Modem solve this?? And how do I go about flashing modem, pls? TIA

Never Mind. Seems to be an unique problem with the Jio 4g sim. Whenever I insert 4g sim, TIM Mobile apn seems to be created & 3g seems to be lost (even when i change sim). After resetting NW and inserting the 3g sim, everything is working fine (except no 4g :().

I have cleared all partitions except the extsdcard. And then I flashed B022xposed.zip and it installed fine. After rebooting, it went to many bootloops until it came back to erecovery. I had to restore the "boot" partition from B020 in order for it to at least boot successfully. After the initial setup of EMUI, everything seems fine except the "fingerprint id" menu in the settings page is gone :eek:

Any help? Thanks.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jetherson:
I have a very weird problem.

I returned to B020 using FF because my TWRP backup is older than my FF backup.

The missing "fingerprint id" menu in the settings page is back.

The buggy "missing imei" modem problem is also back, but I can live with it as long as I don't need to reboot often.

I thought everything is back to the way it was before.

Now, I have been using my transparent case while I was doing these upgrade/restore stuffs.

A few hours ago, I started using my smartcover again.

But as soon as I put the phone in the smartcover, the

dots display wont work on the cover

.

Even if I press the power button or use my fingerprint to open, the display won't show up while the cover is closed.

I have configured the smartcover correctly, so it's not about the settings.

Once I press the power button while the cover is opened, the display lights up fine.

But after I unlocked the phone, I noticed the

statusbar and navigation bar are both missing

.

I have to remove the smartcover and reboot the phone so I can use the phone again.

If I use the rubber or plastic case, the phone seems to be fine.

But if I use the smartcover the problem comes back right away.

Now, I already did a factory reset but the smartcover still produces the problem.

I even restored an old TWRP backup (B020) but the problem is still there.

I'm running out of ideas.

I hope you guys can help me. Maybe point me to the right direction?

Thank you all.

PS: I've been using this http://www.vopmart.com/pa1013870.html and it was working up until I tried upgrading to B022.

I flashed Note 8 AL10 B020 ROOT Xposed.zip by [MENTION=5291297]hjfisch[/MENTION] and all problems solved (maybe even the modem bug).

HI, i tried to follow the 26 past pages as fast as I could. Please if you can help me on these questions.

I love the specs and do not want to risk any root.

I would like to know if not rooting I can

1) access the play store( it looks like you have to download from the huawei store)

2) the lifecycle of the apps will be resumed if I switch between two or more apps

3)personalize at least 1000 themes downloading a third part app

4) is easy to install launchers or will have problems as it looks somebody had it with nova launcher

if you like to share which other problems i could have as European user, I would be happy( connection, bad inbuilted apps as it looks the dialer, chinese language features, etc)

Ya thanks tried all of that but thanks anyway. I'm just going to try to send it back and hope for the best. I got to boot without the screen that says phone is unlocked and DC Unlocked, I ran it it says bootloader locked but Fastbook screen still says Unlocked at least the screen when you boot your phone says your phone is unlocked is gone, maybe they won't look but I doubt it, we'll c if not going to have to buy a new note 8 and sell it for parts I guess, or keep it until a official firmware download comes around hopefully from Huawei to try that. UGGGHHHH! <LOL) not even two weeks old
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jetherson:
Hi.

imo:

1) you can install play store without root

2) yes. you just have to configure the settings correctly. this is because of emui's too aggressive security and power management

3) ? (can you please elaborate this one?)

4) i've been using lightning launcher with no problems. i've also tried using google now albeit briefly

other problems/issues (all fixable without root):

1) initially making google contacts sync is a real pain, but doable

2) chinese text strings here and there, but can be removed/hidden to the point where it's almost non-existent

3) built-in dialer/phone/messaging apps are not good, but all easily replaceable

Not a problem, but you MUST check if your country/provider's LTE bands is compatible with note8's

As for note8's connectivity on Linux for development purposes, sorry, i have no idea.

the site of eglobalcentral.nl says

with my rusty Dutch that there is not Google play but a version in Chinese, I can fix this updating the ROM but I will lose the guarantee

: Wij willen u graag attenderen dat de Chinese versie van de mobiele telefoon wordt niet geleverd met Google Play dit wordt geleverd met vooraf geïnstalleerde Chinese apps. U kunt dit uitschakelen door middel van het updaten van de ROM maar de garantie zal dan ook vervallen die door ons wordt verstrekt.

Thank you very much. I am really creative and need to have personalized themes, widgets, a total customization, so I was wondering if I can download a sw from the google store at this purpose.

This is an issue, if when I buy it is in Chinese what I can do to switch all the menu in English if I do not understand Chinese characters at all?

this punt I do not understand it. I see on the internet that LTE is synonym of 4G, should I ask to the provider which range of frequencies they operate for 4G and see if HNN8 is between these values? In that case what is the frequency of the HNN8, because I see (logically)that my providers do not offer any subscription for this telephone?And Also if the signal is 4G this means that I cannot benefit of 3G and 2G in the 15% areas that in the Netherlands are not covered by 4G

Edit: Also I did not hear nobody magnifying the marvelous screen, is a super amoled that has the same definition of samsung note 7, although being the screen larger get "only" 413 dpi, in any case is visible in the sunlight, better than other phone you had it?

Sorry for all these questions but if I spend 500 euro I need to feel comfortable, and this is the only source on the internet I found on HNN8!:laugh:
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jetherson:
If you're buying from a local store and you can get a warranty for the note8, then choose that instead of letting them pre-install play store (but losing warranty). Installing an english play store is very easy using the pre-installed huawei hiapp. even though huawei hiapp is in chinese, i'm very sure you can install english play store. imo, ALmost all of us here don't understand chinese but we were able to do exactly that. So, choose phone warranty instead of pre-installed google play.

Customizing the interface is highly dependent on the currently installed rom. Without rooting your phone, you can not do very drastic changes on the interface. But you can install widgets and put those in the home screen. I would say you can customize this rom fine.

You can choose english language. Actually, if you put an english sim on the phone, it will choose english as the default language.

For 4G/LTE (yes they're the same), I bought mine that has these bands:

Now, my carrier is Globe here in the Philippines, and its 4G bands are B3, B7, B41 ... so that means I'm all good. You can check yours at frequencycheck.com

Having 4G is just getting faster/better data speed. The phone still has 2G and 3G.

The super amoled screen is indeed marvelous. But the black bezel is a bit large, compared to my other previous samsung phones.

You can choose 3 types of dpi's in the settings.

Sunlight visibility is good for me.

I've had note2, note3, note4 before this.

hope this help.

The new guy

Hi Guys

I'm new here. My goal is simply to learn a few things from some of you advanced individuals, and at the same time offer what ever knowledge I can.

I received my Note 8 on Monday from Aliexpress and I couldn't be more pleased. The phone is superb. The screen is amazing.

2 months ago I had an S6 edge as my personal phone. Owned it for a year. I also had an iphone4 as my work phone, supplied by the company I work at. I'm not sure why the never clued in as to why I was never available :).. for 6 years.

Last month I bought an LETV X900 for the dual sim. 2 weeks later I sold the Samsung and the X900 and bought the HNN8. The Note 8 is absolutely superb.

4G works for me no problem in Canada. My networks are Fido and Rogers.

I read in a few earlier posts of the challenges a few people have had with Aliexpress. Please allow me to share some of my experiences.

I have an A3 rating which states (Your level is higher than 98% of other users). I buy a lot based on the following guidelines;

1. Buy a lot of small stuff. Screen protectors, phone cases etc. 1 item at a time. Your rating will go up fast and your disputes will get taken very seriously

2. Buy only from stores that have been open for at least three years and have a 97+ percentage or higher.

3. Refine all searches by orders sold. The guy that sells the most of what every product you are looking for is usually the most reliable. Read the reviews.

Anyways great to be here
