I tried installing using the Firmware Finder and it failed. It downloaded around 3 updates and finally when it tried to authorize, I got a message saying that the update is not authorized for my device. I am using the 64GB L14 US version.

Looks like we still need to wait. I am happy to see we are close though.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] evilpaul13:
It's still 5.0 as mentioned.

I wasn't having battery issues with B360. So far battery life seems the same for me. They fixed OK Google so it doesn't break the Camera app with that microphone in use pop-up appearing constantly. The security patch is the beginning of April's instead of December like it had been for months.

I wouldn't mind shiny new stuff, but security is updated and they fixed the bug I had been experiencing, so I'm happy with it. Hopefully, they roll it out to everyone quickly.

Just a headout for the battery performance: I found Google Service is really the battery-drain King! However, I found if I restart the phone and then the battery drain became normal. My snapshot of recent normal battery drain plot is here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72247625&postcount=110

3 months after using EMUI 5.0, it seems to have learned my usage pattern pretty well. The battery can last for a really long period.

Hopefully, new updates will bring up more optimizations to L04 and L14 phones.

Just give up on Honor 8 FRD-L04..... I got S8 Plus only one day use but battery life is much much better but more money tho...

Wait for update on Honor 8 about 3 more days if not update I'll sell it......
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
You're comparing a few weeks old, $825 phone to a year old, $300 phone. That's about as useless a comparison as it gets.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
Deleted. I got my facts wrong ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
What you failed to understand and mention is that not everybody bought this phone at a discounted price. When this phone was officially announced in USA, back in August 2016, the pricing was "In the US, you can pick up the 32GB variant for $400 and the 64GB version for $450." (Source: CNET)

At that time the OnePlus 3 64Gb and 6Gb of ram was available for just $399. Not to mention that it also boasted a Qualcomm 820, bigger battery capacity and a 5.5" AMOLED display.

Huawei's PR campaign made many promises to gain the trust and business of US consumers. But when the reviews of the Honor 8 started coming out in October 2016, Huawei was confronted with reality. It's product was good but not good enough to compete at the price point it was determined by the company. Even the ZTE Axon 7 64Gb was a better choice at that price segment. (Source: Business Insider) To add to the pressure OnePlus made the announcement, back in November, of the OnePlus 3T and to be available on November 22. Then you saw the multiple promotions and discounts that followed due to those events. The Honor 8 is a dead and failed product in marketing terms. You can't help it but think this is one of the reasons Huawei seems to be leaving the US market. In their own words "a commercial disappointment", referring to the US market. (Source: Zdnet)

So YES, we have every reason to be complaining and expressing our disappointment to Huawei as well.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
It was 400 dollars?!!! Oops.....

That makes sense then. I have no issue with their failure because of the black Friday deal.

I guess I'll delete my previous post and also thanks for being polite coz I was expecting really mean comments after posting that.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yalokiy:
One thing completely wrong though - OP3 (not the "t" one) has exactly the same battery size as honor 8, but honor 8 has better SOT.

OP3 is slower at launching apps than honor 8, axon 7 is even slower than OP3.

Honor 8 takes better pictures than OP3 and Axon 7.

Not everybody wants a 5.5" phone, for some the ideal size is 5.2".

The only thing I would complain -- slow rollout of updates, other than that, I never wished I bought OP3 or axon 7 instead.

It all comes down to personal preferences. There is no objective "better choice".
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
Yea that's true too. The performance on this phone is extremely good and so is the camera. I didn't want to say this before since I was wrong abt the price and stuff but my aunt has the OnePlus 3T and this phone's performance is almost similar if not better. Also this phone's camera is alot better. The only thing that phone is really good at is software updates, software and graphics.

But that's again personal opinions but I'm totally in love with my phone and don't ever regret buying this over the other options.

Also don't forget that this device has the best build quality than any device in its segment and has an IR blaster.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] horsetastic:
The updates on this phone are faster then with HTC and LG in my experience. I really can't fault this thing. It's great. I don't understand the issues?? SOT is ok. But I have everything on. I get about the same life on this (all stock with everything syncing) as I did on my LG G3 with custom ROM, sync all off and custom governor settings etc. Can't really complain about that.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i2000s:
I did clean up memory and cache using the phone's management software, but nothing was done from TWRP, eRecovery or things like that. I think the phone manager learns your usage pattern if you use the phone manager to clean up things and turn off useless apps in the background (some ppl call it as "double-cleanup"). Nothing else will matter for the battery performance.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] amarryat:
I have the Axon 7 and the Honor 8.

Honor 8 used to take better pictures than the Axon 7. But that's no longer true IMO. In many cases, I think the Axon 7 does better now.

As a reference, my wife has the S7 Edge. Whole different galaxy, no pun intended, when comparing to that. Complete blowout vs either the H8 or the A7.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
Again that's not a fair comparison since the S7 Edge is a 650 dollar phone and the Honor 8 a 400 one.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] evilpaul13:

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
Has anybody tried this?

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] usmcnyc:

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] carnivalrejectq:
So is the latest supposed to B360? I just got this phone and don't know.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
I stand corrected about the OP3 battery capacity. Got the specs mixed with the OP3t.

On the other hand, arguing about the screen size as a measure to the size of a phone is a very common mistake still made by many. The actual dimensions, weight, and the screen-to-body ratio of the device is what really matters. Talking about the screen size alone is meaningless, specially nowadays.

For example, the new Galaxy S8 has a 5.8" display but its dimensions and weight are pretty much those of the Honor8. (source: Phonearena, see attachment)

Now, the Axon 7 has a bigger screen-to-body ratio than the H8 and the different in body dimensions is negligible to say the least, although it does weight more. I own both phones, and having a bigger screen size does make everyday use a much better and enjoyable experience.

Also, and speaking about updates/patches rollout frequency, ZTE has been very diligent in bringing those out.

On February 7, 2017 they announced the Android 7.0 update, alone with Google daydream view support, plus battery efficiency improvements, camera improvements and more.

March 16, they brought us Android 7.1.1, plus Tmobile Wi-Fi support, plus February patch and more.

April 30, ZTE announced yet another update adding new features, bug fixes and performance improvements. (source: ZTE_USA)

So there are always better choices and better companies standing behind their products. We just need to be more diligent in making those choices and not settle for less than what was promised.

I do regret buying the H8 and I'm guilty of charge for falling so quickly to empty promises. But then again, this is only my humble opinion.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
At least for the FRD-L04 and L14, B360 is the latest official update.

For someone not phone savvy, what is it exactly?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] carnivalrejectq:
My battery is pretty crappy on B360. 3-4 hours SOT have to charge phone at work while listening to iHeartRadio on BT half way through the day. I mean there are worse phone's obviously but I was expecting good battery life.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
Have you notice your battery capacity degrading over time? Mine has been. See screenshot.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Christopher876:
Mine is at 2,893 mAh and I have had it since December. Why did your battery degrade that much?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] carnivalrejectq:
I just got the phone so I don't know. I use a pedometer app which is also not helping but honestly I didn't have this type of drain on my S8 or G6. The only phone I've owned recently that​battery has been this crap is the G5.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
I'm not sure exactly why but probably because I'm a heavy user. I use it as a Hotspot plus I stream a lot of video on a daily basis. Some days I have to charge it three to four times.

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

Did you do a factory reset just after upgrading to B360? Many users have posted that helps to get better battery life.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] carnivalrejectq:
Yes the person who sold it to me did one as they were selling it to me lol and I also did my own after noticing the bad battery life. They had just gotten the phone themselves so it isn't anything they did during use.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] whatlobster:
That's very weird. I'm on B360 and my SOT is fine. I have wifi/location/and 4G on at all times.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mwatson:
Looks like you are on wi-fi and the other poster is on mobile data. Makes a huge difference to battery performance.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] carnivalrejectq:

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stevey500:
Is this not flashable onto the L14 (64GB US) ? Why would the firmwares be different? :(
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
I don't think the estimated capacity is a good measure. For me it gave these results based off of 1 charge only so....http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/591b4e515a30b/1494961356326.jpg?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
The more charge/discharge cycles the better the estimate gets.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Christopher876:
Mine was from 3 months of using accubattery and also plugging it out at 80%. I think mine is very accurate at this point.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
Found it. This screenshot is from mid January 2017. The estimates were no less than 2800 mAh and that was with Marshmallow. Actually, before that like back in November it was around 2900 mAh. Now I'm getting worried my battery might be degrading too fast.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Christopher876:
It is because even when I had battery problems, the phone only lost around 16% for an hours when I was using it with the screen on.

Your average battery usage seems to be really high.

I'm sorry I don't have my stats, but that's due to resetting my phone.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Voidz98:
Did you check if the gyroscope works correctly on youtube? And also is the annoying automatic screen dim on certain apps gone? I'm having issues with those on B360 :(
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dodl3k:

So, if I am rooted and have TWRP installed, am I able to update this OTA? what will happen? has anyone tried?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dominikrod:
If you are using the system's update application, NO. You need to have the stock recovery installed. This is basic know/how information that it's been posted in several threads. Common sense and some research are always your best options instead of trial and error.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] haru3173:
also got mine through regular ota. everything stock but updated through FF last time. Using t-mobile data(not sure if matters)

does anyone experienced after update to B385, it lag like hell ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Is that what you are experiencing after updating? If so, then I may wait.

Also, I somehow lost the OTA and my phone no longer says an update is available. I didn't download it though and I'm still on the old version. ?

Okay, never mind. I rebooted the phone and it found the OTA again. But I'll still wait until others confirm that it doesn't slow down the device or cause any major bugs.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SSyar:
well just finishes the install and Google Duo also get installed as a system app
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Interesting - I support Google baking their messaging apps into the system, but until they merge video chatting, SMS, MMS, and IM services into the system dialer, they're just adding unnecessary bloat to the ROM. This is one feature I wish they'd borrow from iOS. iMessage and Facetime work seamlessly with the system dialer and contacts, and iMessage has proper SMS fallback for those who don't have iOS devices! ARGH!!

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stevey500:
My L14 (64gb US) prompted for this same update, attempted install even though I am root and running TWRP recovery. Lol, needless to say, it failed. TWRP follows the "verifying system" of the install script and then fails. Wonder how else I can install this update without being too complicated of a process. I should have kept a stock system partition backup via twrp for OTAs.

Hey so my 6P has a little damage along the Volume rocker and I was wondering about getting it fixed. Obliviously I would need to get a new back panel and most Im seeing are from China for about $20-$30.... Im a little skeptical on this and have a few concerns... Im also seeing this as a way to change from silver to black sooo.... What ones have people on here used before???

Are these parts generally legit and will fit no problem? What about adhesive to attach it back to the phone??
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5.1:
Hello,

Try this site:

https://www.parts4repair.com/

Should fit without issues. Otherwise try eBay. Search for someone who sold a lot of them and check his rep...

I don't know for the N6P, i never opened mine. But on my N6, the replacement back cover already had a new adhesive inside. Wait for confirmation on the N6P or ask the shop/seller...

Good luck...

Hmm. Sound's good.

Are you hacking stock recovery to install everything what you want?

Main problem is to manually force update via stock recovery. But if you're using TWRP, so problem is to install full update. TWRP does not have support of special update commands.

Looking at the batch file, I'd say you're supposed to restore oeminfo while the batch file is showing "D. Connect usb cable before next step.". if you want to rebrand.

Would love to try it. But I've just used this method to update into L29C636B180. Wouldn't want to reset all settings again. So please try it and let us know what happens if you rebrand!
