Originally I wanted to buy Oneplus 3 but I wanted something smaller in size, so I opted for H8. I must say i was delighted with the design and '''in hand'' feel. Also, i was tricked with the whole XDA support thing, which turned out to be a disaster with no help whatsoever from Huawei side. The ''bang for the buck'' term turns out to be a little overhyped.

The biggest feature of this phone was camera which is pretty good, but it's no better than other single sensor units found in large variety of devices. Sometimes even my old Galaxy alpha took better pictures, especially close-ups. Also, focus is a litlle slow to say at least. I didn't expect to get ''best of the best'' so I was satisfied, but this hype about the camera was just advertising and nothing else.

The screen is a little bit dimmed, even by IPS standards, and I've seen better. (I'm not making a comparison with OLED)

Signal reception & quality was excellent and I had no problems with it whatsoever. The story was different with Wifi speed, especially with the lack of it. Compared with my other phones it was about 60% slower with both devices connected on 2.4gHz freq., so that's a fail.

Now, i have to mention the worst thing and that is software and support. Ok, EMUI is quite different than stock android so most people are not happy about it, but I didn't mind that at all. The most Important thing is that everything is fluid and working smoothly, which was not always the case. I noticed slowdowns and I had to resolve them by clearing cache every now and then. News about Nougat update were welcome and I was so excited to get it. Unfortunately, EMUI 5 is a complete mess. The fact that it looks nice doesn't mean that it works nice. It's filled with bugs and battery life is average, if you're lucky. I don't understand why they released the update if it's not finished, obviously. It should be fluid, fast and consistent, at least if they want to compete with other brands (btw samsung is even worse, you don't even get updates with them).

The biggest highlight for me is the one all the reviews valued as average at best, and that's battery life. I get 6,7,even 8hrs of SOT, and that's a hell of a stat.

Conclusion is....if i had a choice all over again, i would take something else probably. Unfortunately I have to live with it now, and I hope our devs will manage to sort out everything and release a stable Lineage, and we should all make a donation. Only they can make this device worth using for a few years, cause Huawei will certainly not.

I apologize if someone disagrees with me...tell me your thoughts... ;)

I feel you on some of the stuff, i dont have any crazy issues other than the auto brightness and the security patch is still stuck on Dec.2016
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SharxX8:
Wifi with 5ghz is flawless for me plus the part about slowdowns is a little odd considering the one great strength at this price point is the cpu.

I never have any noticeable slowdowns.

The battery life is surprising though. Without gaming i may get around 5h SOT on Emui 5 B380.

Would you mind sharing usage statistics or any other information about how you pull that off?

Edit:

Quite frankly I'm in sort of a love/hate relationship with the phone. I can't really say that EMUI 5 does that bad since it really just works during daily use but at the end of the day i simply don't want it and i dislike the overall feel and style of the software.

This is really the only big letdown for me.

Qualitywise though it's a blast considering that I paid 350€ for it and I still am very happy with it in that regard.

But it's a nobrainer forcing me to use the stockrom and if that policy doesn't change it'll be the last Huawei/Honor phone for me

- Actually scratch the wifi part, i get 60mbps down with the phone compared to the 100-120 i get with my 5 year old wlan stick :rolleyes:

Although I think with the H8 it depends strongly on signal strength. I remember it being a lot better when i first tested it
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mejgs:
I must admit that I'm not a really heavy user. I mostly use whatsapp, web browsing and youtube, and a litlle bit facebook and instagram. Only gmail is set to auto sync. Also I disabled all unnecessary apps. So, only the essential things are running and I'm using EMUI 4.1. I tried out EMUI 5 and my SOT was at least 2hrs less. Talking about wifi, I had the same situation after testing a few times, both on 4.1 and 5.0. My speeds were about 60mbps, and other phones about 120/130 mbps.

I'm dissapointed with the fact that Oneplus One feels like a much faster device, even though it's 3 years old. It has excellent support, and when I flashed 7.1 on it the thing just flies like hell, I was amazed! Don't get me wrong, this is just a personal observation without any real testing but the software use was just excellent.

I just managed to install 1.3gb and 300mb update via FF...I will report if I see any changes, at least concerning battery life.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mejgs:
I completely understand. Some people maybe don't pay so much attention on details, or maybe I'm just a perfectionist.

But:

1) Auto brightness i messed up

2) battery life on EMUI 5 is crap, at least according to large number of users

3) Auto dimming in contacts/sms/browser etc.

4) status bar icons flicker when unlocking with fingerprint

5) Animation break during uninstalling apps from ''apps submenu''

6) bluetooth issues

7)............

If they release an update it should be done right, and not like this :o
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yebbey2:
I've had the phone for 2 months. I haven't tested the Wi-Fi bc I get really fast lte at home and have unlimited high speed data. The Wi-Fi has been fine when I've used i but can't compare. I prefer nougat to mm but I had the same experience with battery life...plus rooting process with twrp wasn't very clear. The battery life on mm is amazing. I haven't experienced any slow downs. MM with nova launcher works well for me. I'm actually very happy with this phone.....especially only costing $250. But really the only thing I excuse for price is the lack of nougat....the rest works well enough for me. I came from nexus 5x so this camera is better. I wish there was more development but I'm actually quite happy with emui and think I'd stay rooted stock even if I had another option.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kmry:
I sold muy HTC 10 ando bought the honor 8, and was the BEST decisión I could made, fast, dont lag att all, 6-8 SOT easily and 24 hours of charge, atand by time 1-2% in 11 hours, great looks, great camera, i like miui, is very customizable, the only bad thing os the development, but besides that, i give Honor 8 10/10
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mejgs:
I agree. And I'm not saying the phone is bad. MM is fine but I like Nougat even more (if it only worked as it should). Lack of support is the biggest issue unfortunately...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mejgs:
I must admit that EMUI 5 feels much snappier...If they fix the bugs I will update immediately. But I'm not so optimistic.....If we have to wait a year for the update and fixes that's too much. Security patches are also outdated, and what about 7.1..... :crying:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kmry:
What bugs are you talking about, i havnt found any :s? Im información Nougat.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mejgs:
Then you are very lucky ;) check my previous post above... Even if everything else is working flawless, 2hrs of SOT less is a big deal.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] faeArai:
For me, it's more like: hardware is quite neat but the software is a mess. With the kernel sources not being released by Huawei there is no chance for me to use Lineage as a daily driver. Therefore it's my first and my last Huawei device.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
I have had my honor 8 since they first came out.

I was on the UK beta group.

I have not messed with my phone at all, only had the official OTA updates and I must say that I have had no trouble with my phone at all.

It's the best phone I have had.

It's the only phone that I have not rooted.

For my everything works and works well.

The battery with the 380 update is not as good as the 360 but I'm still getting a full day and I'm hammering my phone all day.

The only complaint is with honors reluctant release of the kernel code for EMUI 5 and that we are not getting EMUI 5.1

I'm a happy Honor 8 owner

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] man.from.earth:
Likewise, ever since I upgraded to Nougat a couple of months ago, I did not have any real issues either, and I am a power user (I can't really make a comparison about the SOT on MM, because I didn't check the statistics before upgrading, although I have noticed a slight decrease in battery life, but by no means a 2-3 hour difference), so I can't complain :D
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] grifovunque:
If you have all this problem i think your honor is bugged.... I have some result with Nougat as mm.... The some sot 5 hours with 16/17 hour standby 4g with 3 mail push WhatsApp ecc... I have forced installation of 380 and reset.... No problem At all
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnhux7:
What are you meaning by saying that you think our phones after bugged ?

You think there is a bug in the 380 update ?

I definitely think that they have got something wrong with this update.

I have replied it via Honor UK Google+ and for the first time they hadn't replied
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mejgs:
Lucky you but, no it's not bugged. I tested every update, official OTA, Firmware Finder etc....they all have bugs, b360 and b380. If you're trying to say that only small percentage of units is working well then the situation is even worse. That means 8 out of 10 devices is broken out od the box. Considering I was getting up to 8hrs SOT on marshmallow compared with max 4-5 on nougat I think these updates are crap, and yes, I tested all of them including "one week usage", factory resets after updating etc... Now i see people have problems with gyro sensors also...that doesn't surprise me...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mejgs:
Totally agree with you...nicely said.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mejgs:
As I see it: Huawei won't do jack sh*t about this issues. They released a phone that is, let's say, working excellent (on MM), it looks beautiful, has famous dual camera setup etc. People here have some complaints but it's not gonna make much difference I'm afraid. After seeing the device in person and a few good reviews they will buy it, so did I. Let's be honest, regular consumers just don't care about updates, source codes and all that stuff. I know my girlfriend doesn't have any clue what Nougat is...

Unfortunately, all members of XDA community are a minority and maybe some of us will never buy Huawei phone again, but there are plenty people out there that will.

So, sales go up, money accumulates no matter what we say. I get it, why would they make the effort to make a few people happy.....who gives a damn.

Lack of care for consumers is annoying but at least we have a large variety of devices to choose from so...next year make your choice wisely :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] grifovunque:
So,i am very lucky

I have buy 3 honor and all works well both with mm and nougat.

I am very happy and lucky
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
There's a guy that started a thread on Reddit in the honor 8 section. He claims that the best buy in his area has the honor 8 with Jan- Feb security patches. He'll try to get a screenshot of it tomorrow.

Well, after my 6 years here on xda and rooting multiple phones in that time and after reading several posts i have not seen a phone that is this old that has virtually no custom work due to the company of course, so i can say with certainty this will be the last Huawei device i will own. Will more than likely be done with it in a couple weeks. It sad because this phone had great potential and Huawei decided smoke screens and certain words would spark a spike in sales for the device. My thoughts anyway... Have a great day everyone

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] jnovek:
Howdy friends!

I was able to install the SM-N920C Lineage-14.1 ROM by RaymanFX on my SM-N920P Sprint device.

https://xdaforums.com/note5/orig-development/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3572047

To make it install I simple unzipped the ROM, and edited the file "META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script" and remove the top line that starts with "assert". This line is basically the part of the script that makes the ROM abort in TWRP if your device isn't nobleltejv. Then I re-zipped the contents of the ROM, pushed via adb and flashed per the instructions in RaymanFX's thread.

It seems to run really well -- it seems more stable than the CM 13 ROM that I tried previously. However, like the CM 13 ROM, cellular doesn't seem to work.

I got a good deal on this device primarily for hacking on it, so I don't mind trying some things (although I'd prefer to avoid bricking it). My only limitation is that I am a GSM user so I can't test full CDMA functionality while I go. That being said, I don't mind grabbing a cheep prepaid CDMA SIM if I actually make any progress.

I'm looking for resources on how to diagnose why cellular doesn't work. I'm fairly new to hacking on Android, but I'm an experienced software engineer and have a strong Linux background, so I'm pretty confident that with docs I could get to the bottom of this.

If anyone with more experience in this realm can point me at the appropriate docs/examples/forums etc. I be happy to take a swing at it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] justlookin412:
Have you pm'd [MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION] to see if he can point you in the right direction. Also [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION], not sure where he stands in taking on another project. Either way hopefully you'll make some progress!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] jnovek:
Not a bad idea. I don't really have time to be a project maintainer right now -- hoping if I make progress I can just submit a patch against Rayman's work and occasionally make any needed updates, but I don't really know how ROM projects are typically managed.

Like many folks on XDA, I love Samsung's hardware but don't care for their implementation of Android. I generally prefer something closer to stock like Lineage or AOSP. Sprint doesn't get a lot of love (although Moar is a pretty nice ROM) and I'm sure those folks who prefer something closer to stock would benefit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] justlookin412:
I completely agree. I have no complaints. MOAR is an excellent ROM. I would like to run Lineage or an AOSP ROM just for a change, but I knew from the beginning what I was getting myself into.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] sinisin:
I'm not sure what all needs edited, but AFAIK the RIL needs to be. How or what needs to be changed is beyond me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] jnovek:
Moderator: should this thread live in one of the development sections?

Had a quick exchange with Rayman. He seems like a nice guy!

My objective is to get the modem working to some degree, but no promises about things like proper CDMA configuration, band selection, etc. Not really sure how all that stuff works, TBH. If I can get he modem to go, though, maybe someone who actually knows a thing or two about wireless can help with the other stuff?

Seems like the first order of business is to discover what modem hardware this thing is using, and what drivers it wants. I'll need to get root and dig around in sysfs/devfs. I'll post what I learn.

My day job is as a web developer and I'm an embedded hobbyist. Many of the ROM devs on XDA seem to work as embedded developers in their day jobs. I expect this to be a slow-going learning project for me in my limited spare time.

I'll do my best to document my progress (and foibles) in this thread in case anyone can learn a thing or two from it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] justlookin412:
It seems like talking to him has steered you in the right direction!!! Take your time. If anything you'll learn something that you can apply later in your career or personal projects!

Have u tried flashing the sprint modem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] hackwoof:
[MENTION=4389076]jnovek[/MENTION] if you could provide the zip you put together to flash I would try something in my spare time to help. Doesnt seem to be a very busy thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] jnovek:
Long time no chat. I've been busy :).

Could someone post the output to "getprop" from a stockish Sprint device on 7.x? Among other things I'd like to see what magic incantations are used for the ro.telephony settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] jnovek:
Not totally sure how to use the hosting that everyone here uses and I have limited time this morning to play around w/this, but I can give you brief instructions on how to roll it yourself. It's super easy.

1) Download the n920c rom linked in the first post.

2) Unzip it.

3) Edit the file "META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script".

4) Remove the first line -- it starts with "assert". You can just straight up delete it.

5) Zip everything back up.

6) Flash using the instructions provided in the linked thread for n920c.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] sinisin:
Any headway here?

Done according to guidelines by jnovek

If anyone can check

No time today. But I'll make a backup and try it tonight.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] sinisin:
It installs fine. No service tho.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] anunymos:
What that mean "No service tho"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] sinisin:
It means the RIL and APNs need to be edited and added I believe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] edwintapias:
S Pen works?

I flashed the rom, but S pen is not working anymore. And has anyone figured out how to set up the network?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] sinisin:
The developers of the ROM are working on it. But as of now this ROM is not for our phones unless you're going to only use it on WiFi. Cellular connections of any sort are out of order.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] oliverisboss:
Hello XDA,

I on my past phones I have used a wide variety of ROMs, but on my OP3 the camera quality drops if it is not OxygenOS based.

My question is, what is the best Oxygen based ROM? I have been using FreedomOS/FOS CE for about a year, but now I see others popping up like Experience ROM.

Which of these two has more features? What other O2 based ROMs are worth nothing?

I haven't had much success with mixing CM and flashable Oxygen camera zips, so that's why I prefer to stick to Oxygen based ROMs.

Thanks
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Doc Moody:
They are pretty similar. I'd prefer Experience because I'd use only the debloated ROM with Arise, Adaway, adfree youtube with supersu. I personally use Sultanxda's cm 13 build. It's stable and camera quality is almost on par with OOS.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] MarcTremonti:
Experience and Freedom are pretty much the same.

i personally like FreedomOS more, cause nevax always has some interesting new ideas for features. but if you want completely debloated ROM you can also choose it in aroma installer also.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] oliverisboss:
Yeah I like the features and the personalized aroma installer. Seems im sticking to FreedomOS then.
