GPS bug and light sensor still not fixed

Current version (after last soft release) still has a very crappy light sensor and a huge GPS bug.

whenever you're indoor, GPS is reset to position 0;0, thus teleporting you in the Atlantic Ocean... and ruining every Driving app that was running at the moment.

Currently triggers in every long tunnel, 100% when indoor , randomly if your car windows are blocking GPS signals ....

I bought one , considering all the reviews (sponsored or not), but i had to sent it back.

Now back with my Z3C.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] venom007:
thats very disaapointing considering all the positive reviews:confused:
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] gee2012:
I dare not say it but GPS is dead on for me on Google Maps, even indoors. Auto backlighting in low light conditions is too low, have my H8 set on manual brightness in the evening. GPS faillure might very well be a hardware faillure.

See attached pic, indoors.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] GrrXDA:
Hi,

That's the second Honor 8 I see (with my own eyes) with this issue. Some don't have the issue, some do. I don't (and that's my personal opinion, here :) ) like to buy a device that's seems to come from a not-so-tested product line.

I know the Z3C is outdated (especially since my camera lens has a scratch, but at least it's very sturdy. For the moment, that's what I need. I'll have a look at the Pixel phones in 2 weeks.

Hi... New to the forum . I have this phone but I'm a noob when it comes to phones . I'm curious if any Canadian here have this phone and if so, how do you like the non support for it ? I mean I notice and it could be just me with my ISP server but when I try loading the USA website support it will redirect me to India website support, not USA . Now it might also be because Canada wasn't supposedly to get the H8 and when one try the USA support website they too will get redirected to India . Though there is another way that I found in how to get the USA support website was to use a VPN and set the city in the US
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] venom007:
not all users are facing this issue,

good luck with pixel phones.:D
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] vsriram92:
Are you residing in India? Honor finds the region of website from our location. If we search from India,we will get indian support page based on regional redirection. You can use the proxy to each US support. But that doesn't mean that Honor doesn't provide support.

Honor support depends on the region. If it's Honor US or Uk or India, the support will be great i would say. For my Honor 7 (India) which I got a year earlier, im getting calls from Honor to get feedback about the software update. So support depends upon the region.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] vsriram92:
Im too waiting for the Pixel phones. lets see how they are.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
He mentioned "Canadian" so obviously he's from canda
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dude905:
No ... I am not residing in India. I'm in Canada and this is why I'm asking if there is any Canadian here with this phone. I wanted to ask them whether they can get into the USA support website or whether they also get redirected to the India site
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
That's kinda weird, if you reside in Canada you should be redirected to the nearest support (US obviously)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] vsriram92:
It might be due to the improper routing of ISP (or) due to the usage of proxy.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dude905:
I know .... I even have mention it to Honor chat support . They said the samething with the proxy but I'm not using that. Again, I'm curious if it has to do with being in Canada since there no Honor coming to Canada . This is why I'm asking other Canadian if they have the same problem . My only way to get to the USA is by using a VPN

What's so odd is that no one has notice from Huawei . Even after being told it is still ongoing, How long does it take for tech support to correct a minor issue?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Normally not even an hour at max
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] vsriram92:
It has to reach to the the top level for permission, follow the process and then modify it. Can't do it suddenly unless the responsible people is not aware (or) not takes this bug as a critical one.

It takes less time to Fix. But it takes more time for the process flow.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dude905:
I really doubt how bright they're there at Huawei . So, I'm chatting with tech support ( live chat ) and I asked if a firmware is the same as using the phone update app, I show them a firmware file and afterwards was told if I use that I would be voiding my warranty. I said to myself WTF anyways I told the support person it was from their website . I then show them the url and afterwards they apologize for the misinform info they gave and it was indeed the samething the Update app and firmware LOL
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Wow yeah really gives me sooo much faith in the company. Here I was thinking about talking my boss into changing all the companies phones for ones from honor but if that is what their support is like then I might rethink it and swap them all to another OEM.

Thanks for the info.

Beat me to it, but I was going to post a link to this. It would be nice if they had it on their site/store, but a replacement charger isn't hard to come by. The $10-15 dollar range for an actual OEM part isn't bad at all either.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Dude905:
Thanks for the link . I already did order one but my point is, isn't it odd a company doesn't provide parts for their own products and you would think a thing like a charger would be an easy one for replacement. I'm not sure whether Banggood is all that from this site review

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] androidddaaron:
The device is very snappy ...typing is spot on with the auto correction and key size..much like iPhone 6s.

Not one issue hardware or software wise. The reviews have been on point . The camera is good not the best but good as s7 I was excited for that part ...shutter speed is not that fast with flash . Battery life is stupid good for sure all day and then some. The device is Ultra slippery to the point it's scary! Buy a case first thing first .

Front Camera is good to but it's definitely different experience than a galaxy. The phone is worth the cost and EMUI I figured it out in a few hours it's nothing like people say being difficult. It's just like any other experience just a few differences in the skin and layout . There's a lot to like about it over TouchWiz.

We need rom development for sure .

I've downloaded the "Z00A ww 2.20.40.196" rom from ASUS website, but everytime I try to flash it, it stuck at something about "ifwi", but it never ends.

I am aware that this can be done by rooting an S5 running 4.4.2 and then downloading More Locale 2 from google play but I am in need of a solution for updated devices. Ones I cannot flash down to 4.4.2 to root. I have tried adding the language packets from the G900I firmware to the G900A. Even tried adding data to make the checksum correct in order to flash the signed firmware but it is not working. It seems that someone either has to root the newer version or find a way to flash firmware with the language onto an unrooted device. Currently all of mine are running either 5.0 or 5.1.1. They are all unlocked but unrooted. I will pay you for a working method. Im not going to pretend I know whats fair so you tell me what you want and i'll take it to my customer. Please DM me if you're interested. Thank you.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JRR141:
Hey all! I'm having a strange issue regarding boot looping that I can't seem to find an answer to on here or anywhere else, I hope you guys can help.

So my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T), purchased in May 2014, while perusing Facebook the other day, randomly shut down in the middle of perfectly normal use and started bootlooping. I had never had the problem before. The device had been rooted for months (I forget what method I used) but it was running a stock Lollipop rom. The first thing I did was factory wipe and cache wipe through Android stock recovery. It worked!... for a couple hours. Then the bootloop started again.

I went and sought a new stock rom, believing that somehow mine had been corrupted, and flashed it via Odin. I also flashed TWRP. Clean wipes, new rom, dalvic/etc. wipes, and booted into stock Marshmallow. It worked!... for a couple hours. Then it started bootlooping again. I went into TWRP and tried to wipe just caches and whatnot, but it wouldn't start again. Long battery pulls sometimes allowed the phone to boot, but it started looping again after ~5-10 minutes.

So I installed the Twisted Lollipop but couldn't even get that to boot. I went back and found the earliest available firmware for my device (as I bought mine right after it came out) and flashed it. Wipe wipe flash wipe whatever, and a succesful boot. It was looking good! I was able to install a number of OTA updates. I was at Android 5.1 when I decided to call it a night and hold off on the further OTAs for today. Today I got up and got ready for work, all's well. As I'm getting ready to leave, I allow Google to update some apps, and begin installing Facebook, Spotify, Cap Metro (for my area's public transit system) and maybe something else, I don't remember. Anyway, as the updates are downloading or installing and I'm checking my email, boom, crash, bootloop.

What's going on here? I've never heard of hardware causing boot loops, but could it be that? I dropped my phone (although protected by a Spigen case) earlier this summer and it cracked the screen-- could it have messed with the motherboard in some substantial way? I had noticed it getting hotter and the battery lasting less than usual, but I attributed that to the device's age.

Any help, any advice, any direction you could give would be extremely appreciated. I don't have the capital to replace the phone right now, and I use it all the time. Thanks folks!
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happily1986:
Dear fellow users,

Below are some issues I have faced on my unrooted set and i hope someone will come forth with some helpful workarounds if they indeed encountered it before.

1. Under settings> storage> internal storage, clicking on photos or videos show media that I have already moved physically to the external sdcard. I am mainly using open camera and despite the new sdcard writing restrictions, it seem to be able to write to the external sdcard with no issues. I was able to verify so using explorer and quickpic

2. Backup and restore is broken no matter for backup to sdcard or Google drive. It just keeps getting stuck at 50%.

Also I realise using disk usage that the phone has been trying to back up to the internal storage instead. Do'h!

3. Because of pt 2, I have resorted to installing Helium. I managed to install the required adb drivers. Seems like the phone just won't stay in ptp mode. Ok it doesn't as it seems like I was able to proceed to backup but then it just seem to get stuck as evident from the progress bar.

4. LCD display acquiring a pinkish tint. It is especially on the top right hand corner along the bezel. Someone told me that it was heat that has caused the adhesive used in the LCD assembly to melt resulting in this. In the mean time, I realised that the max brightness output is no longer the same as before. Now it is barely readable under the strong glare from the sun.

5. Headphone jack detection just stopped working for no reason and using soundabout didn't work at all. Wanted to send in to the local Sony service centre but with the issues in pt 2 and 3, it is foolhardy to send it for servicing. High chance the phone might be wiped.

Any useful contributions will be helpful guys.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redxslash:
For your LCD display, try an app called CF.Lumen and mess around with the colors on there to fix your display. I believe 6500 is the best color display through that app.

I don't know about #2 since I use titanium backup to backup all my apps and stuff, but that is because I am rooted. But you can backup your apps and such through other methods besides google. Try doing a search for that one.

For #1, try a different file manager such as ES explorer, file manager, or more when moving files. It could be due to having low space on your phone or sd card, or low RAM (free memory) at the time when transferring the files. Also make sure to use the updated version of any apps you use.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdct12:
So context, at one point in time I was on omni rom. But before I installed nougat I did a full wipe, didn't dirty flash or anything. I've been getting security patches no problem, but for some reason this one didn't run in the background like previous ones and tried to flash itself with twrp. I got an error saying it expected a certain build fingerprint, but that I had a omni rom build fingerprint. So I restarted my tablet, opened up build.prop and no, I don't have an omni fingerprint, I had the expected nougat fingerprint. Uploading pictures of the incident, look below. Thoughts?

edit: I just downloaded the ota from Google and flashed that way, seems to have solved the problem.
