[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shravansp24:
oneplus?? you must be kidding me ??? my oneplus 2 was updated only once to marshmallow and that's it! whereas other manufacturers like Sony for example updated their z5 series to the latest nougat and still updating!

this is the effect of buying cheap chinese phones... but atleast oneplus 2 has a pretty active development in xda and unofficial oreo builds are live.. but honor devices are bad in that too!(I'm not saying bad against the dev commiteee, I'm against huawei for not supporting the dev commiteee)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Days Tech:
Would you people just understand that it may come? It is just not confirmed yet.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Lukke2804:
The German Twitter Account of honor said the oreo update for the honor 8 is planned, but it is not sure yet that we will definitly receive it. More information will be coming out at the end of 2017.

Link to the Post: https://twitter.com/HonorGermany/status/930016905108234240
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Zerø.:
That looks like there office Twitter ? I hope so.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zinko_pt:
OnePlus 2 actually is the only black sheep of the brand. Looking at the rest of the line-up they got some nice updates. Nevertheless it's looked by the community as the "infamous" OP2. I think it was the transition from 32 bits OS to 64 bits OS support. I also got stuck with SD801 that actually was part of the Nougat beta program but never got the update. So I wouldn't consider the OP2 as a good representation of OP support.

But like you say, even if updates sucks, due to using popular (and top of the range for the time of realease) Qualcomm SOCs, they have wonderful development.

And that's a lot more than anyone who have a Huawei/Honor and care about software support can say.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] :
Heh if honor 8 get oreo and treble you'd change that statement [emoji6] hwc is workin on pure stock
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zinko_pt:
I would love to be wrong. But that would be a massive surprise.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shravansp24:
1) op2 is not the only black sheep

2) op1 after breaking partnership with cyanogen mode got a buggy oxygen as final(i appreciate the fact they tried, so no complaints)

3) op2's SoC is 64bit and 100% compatible with nougat, and that's why other manufacturers using the same SoC(Sony, HTC) upgraded them to nougat... so OnePlus has no reason..

4) oneplus 3/3t, I'm sure 100% that they won't update beyond oreo unlike other 820 utilising devices!

anyways this is a honor 8 group and enough of oneplus(p.s. emui>oxygen)

hopefully they upgrade honor 8 to oreo.. it'll be amazing!

and we need more developers who can work with kirin chipsets.. it'll be grateful
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zinko_pt:
Some speculations and trying to appropriate the role of a moderator.

At the end of the day what matters, for me, is if I get the latest OS and latest security patches. If the brand facilitates 3rd party development and as a user I get it (like OnePlus) or it comes officially (Sony, Oneplus - so far...), the end result is the same.

This is a highly relevant discussion in the context of Oreo upgrade by Huawei for Huawei/Honor owners. If you don't like it, don't read it/participate.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
LOL, not really relevant. What it is, is a bunch of speculation and quotes from support people that have absolutely no idea since they're among the last to be told about major upgrades. You won't find one substantial clue from anyone about Oreo, because no one knows. What we have is one thread after another all saying the same thing. What's needed is a separate Oreo wish forum instead of all these different threads.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shravansp24:
I'm sorry if i offended you.. i didn't mean it that way and i never said, i didn't like the conversation..

what i meant was, we were discussing about oneplus support in Honor 8's thread and that we could discuss more about honor 8 and less about oneplus

and true! somehow if we get oreo, through 3rd party developers or from huawei, well and good!

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
I have been telling this to guys on forum but unless we have some proof, nobody cares :(

I know 6X, 8 and 8 pro will get it for sure. 5C is bit doubtful but may get by Q2 (that still falls under 24 months of their promises of updating).
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] hassanjavaid8181:
So honor 8 getting Oreo finally...
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Zerø.:
Sadly these support agents don't know s***. Some say yes others say no. Basically all the information that anyone has is irrelevant unless it comes from honor themselves.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Yes, they don't know a thing. All we need to do is to wait for an official announcement from Honor's social media channels

The best news ever, can't wait of they implement project Treble
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Giuskiller:
You know the best part? If you ask to Honor (official facebook page) they will tell you "we cannot offer any official information about honor 8". So i trust the CEO but wtf with other official sources?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Indeed buddy. And George Zhao is there top most guy amd interview statement by him is indeed a good sign for upcoming update..:good:
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Maybe they are told to only post about Oreo when it's officially released
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Giuskiller:
Only time will tell. However, nice to hear that oreo is in their plans.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Ascertion:
A lot of companies have terrible communication from higher levels to the lower levels. Going forward, we shouldn't take anything CS says as an official source.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] :
I like the part

The president of Honor George Zhao announced that the Honor 7X, Honor 8, Honor 8 Pro, Honor 9, and Honor V9 will all be getting the Oreo update.

Really as honor 9 and 8 pro wasn't already confirmed I'd take this with a pinch of salt.

Don't be too sad if it won't be true
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Now they kept a customer for them, I hope they deliver soon
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] _DaveP_:
Exactly what I thought, if it does get 8.0 the I'm likely going to get the V10 when I upgrade next year, if it doesn't I'll look at other brands of phone.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Same here, the V10 looks fantastic TBH
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
I read the interview by Mondo 3 times and no where did the CEO mention the Honor 8. He specifically said the Honor 7, 9, and V9 plus "other models" but he didn't say Honor 8. Maybe it was lost in the translation and I hope we will get it, but quotes from something not said should be taken with a grain of salt.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] funkiefresh:
The original article was edited after the fact to remove Honor 8. It was there when first posted.

LOL, I'm not sure what that means.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] :
I'm lucky I upgraded from honor 8 if it won't come
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
I'm not that concerned either way. Nougat has performed well and does most everything I could want on this phone. If anyone thinks Oreo will improve things like battery life they're fooling themselves. It's usually the rule of thumb that a major OS upgrade doesn't improve battery life and can hurt it. I bought the phone for it's present performance and it has performed. I personally think it's silly and childish when I read posts about how folks are getting rid of their phone if it doesn't get Oreo. IMHO, they've got more money than sense.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
The only thing that got me excited for Oreo was "Treble", it can make a huge difference in ROM development, and just like you, I've got this phone for the performance in addition to the beautiful design
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Supreeth Sharma:
Hmmm......

The Title o the article says clearly that "UPDATE: Incorrect Rumor"
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Thats incorrect because Huawei denied their own news.

Dont worry, 6X, 8 and 8 pro all are getting oreo afaik..

However in my recent discussion with honor team member, or someone who manages the entire update for global honor market didn't confirm anything but neither he denied.. may be dont want to disclose before finalizing anything or too cautious.

[Alcatel Idol 4S Questions & Answers] dcamel:
I recently picked up the idol 4s from Amazon for a nice price to replace my huawei mediapad m3 8.4 LTE that stopped receiving more than edge speeds on tmobile in my area.

Very pleased with the device in general, but I've tried countless times to enable wifi calling. I head to the screen, which has a blurb about checking with my carrier for fees, and there's an on/off toggle. I switch it on, back out of the screen -(or even head to a recent app then right back) and the wifi calling setting has toggled itself off.

I spoke to tmobile, and they changed my e911, but said they thought it was a software issue since it just toggles itself off as soon as you leave the menu. Has anyone else encountered similar issues?

I made a video that I'll upload to youtube "later." I intend to trim it down to the essentials because I believe one absolutely has to make these kinds of videos SUCCINCT and not yammer on for 3/4 of the video about one's life story.

However, the title and the pictures attached really speak for themselves... and I can bore you with my life story here

I heard Samsung was releasing a new Gear VR to fit the Note 8 on this video here https://youtu.be/tR2X0T_3l6o and instead of plopping down $130 for a new Gear VR, I vowed to attack my current 2016 Gear VR (which was FREE with my Galaxy S7) with my trusty dremel.

Samsung sets our pants on fire, comes back with a mediocre S8+ upgrade for ludicrous cost, and then tries to sell us a new Gear VR for $130?

Samsung, I assure you that we certainly are suckers, but we are not made of money.

I received my preordered Note 8 yesterday.

As these kinds of things are best done without the caffeine jitters from my morning coffee, I had to go at it early... and most importantly, before I had been awake long enough to come to my senses about what I had planned.

Planning: Simply consisted of measuring out a piece of cardboard based on the latest measurements reported, then sticking that on my Gear VR to see where I'd need to cut. I also researched where the sensitive electronic bits and pieces were.

Execution: I had crudely used a box cutter to make a basic outline with the actual note 8 in it with the USB C connector the 2016 Gear VR came with for the Note 7. I then taped up what I could to prevent bits of melted plastic dust from getting everywhere, then went to town on it with my dremel.

It works great, but you can kind of see a little sliver of the right eye's image in the far corner of your left eye.

She won't win any beauty pageants, but I'd say she's a keeper

edit: Here's the video and I should probably put in a little warning about a problem I almost had in doing this..

**I almost cut too much plastic off of the bottom of the locking piece (which has a guide) and this would have caused the locking piece to pop off permanently, so I'd recommend using caution with that in mind.**

This is too funny!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] doblebo:
i just guessed that by design (mechanical and software), the top half of the screen would be compensated for if i avoided touching the half of the gear vr headset that connects to the bottom of the phone.

no matter what (compatible) phone you use with a gear vr headset, the bottom of the phone is always fixed.

i know what you mean, but upgrading to a note 8 pretty much turns the 2016 gear vr into trash anyway.

i could sell it online, but i can imagine ebay will be flooded with these shortly. it isn't even the 15th yet and they're going for under $20 shipped.

consider this a recycling project.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidrev71:
That's good.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NamelessFragger:
I'm not surprised in the least, considering what happened with the SM-R322 "consumer" Gear VR model released for the Note 5 that allegedly did not support the Note 4.

Well, the Note 4 worked in it after a careful bit of Dremeling, and you didn't even have to go that far for the SM-R323 (2017 revision for S7/Note 7 with swappable microUSB and USB-C) to fit the Note 4 - it just fit in and worked, no need for the original SM-R320 (Note 4 Innovator Edition)!

That said, I'm passing on the Gear VR this time, not because I think it's a bad piece of kit, but because my Oculus Rift CV1 + Touch spoiled me rotten when it comes to quality VR. Maybe when the Note 8-compatible model drops in price after a year or two, I'll snag it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CarpeNotctem:
A dremel wasn't even needed. :p

This reviewer tried in the 2016 and mid 2017 versions.

Since I can't post links yet, look for the youtube channel "TK Bay"

Th gearvr vids with the note8 are pretty recent. There should be 2 vids on it on his channel
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] doblebo:
i looked all over TK Bay's channel and couldn't find what you were referring to.

his videos do show comparison of the gear vr versions and you can see that modification is obviously needed. they also show that the connector as well as the optics pretty much stay in the same spot through all the versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryya:
I would've thought with the phone being slightly bigger, the lenses are slightly ajar/angeled/concave minutely differently in order to view the entire screen?

I can't remember how it looks through the headset, it was a long time ago when I had my original.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] CarpeNotctem:
The 2016/mid-2017/note8 gear vr has the clamp self adjusting. Any minute changes in positioning is automatically compensated by your eyes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krumbs:
I am interested in this bit, too. I will be getting a Note 8 in couple of days, and already have the 2016 Gear VR from the S7 Edge days.

If the Note 8 fits in (even if it is a tight fight), I won't have to buy the new version (which will need to be imported and end up costing a lot).

Also, if you really have to shove the phone in, would that put too much stress on the connector or the phone body?

About using dremel, I simple don't have the skills and the equipment. Or even the patience! :)

EDIT: Found the video. Seems Note 8 does work with the 2016 Gear VR, without modifications. Please watch 12:10 onwards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvhWHvyppfg
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmacias:
He fails to mention in the TK Bay video he's using the usb-c adapter from the 2017 VR. Notice the white tab on the lock switch. The 2016 comes with a usb-c with a black lock switch and is slightly fatter. If you want to dremel something I would take the adapter apart and dremel it to make the Note 8 sit further into the adapter. Or you just need to order the usb adapter from a 2017. Either from Samsung or there's a UK eBay listing. Search for part number GH98-41582A
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krumbs:
Thank you! Found the part on eBay. But was hoping for your advice before I go ahead and buy it (shipping is turning out to be more expensive than the part itself!).

My previous phone was the S8 Plus, and I was using it with the 2016 Gear VR. The combination worked with the USB-C adapter that had come in the box, but I did notice this bit. And it was often distracting:

"It will definitely be off-center though, and if you wear the headset tight enough to maximize the FOV you would notice an image bleedthrough from one side of the phone to the other in your periphery. There have been many complaints about this."

From: https://www.reddit.com/r/GearVR/comments/68dbv4/why_the_2016_gear_vr_is_incompatible_with_the_s8/

So my question to you is: If I get the USB-C adapter from the 2017 version (GH98-41582A), plug it into the 2016 Gear VR and use it with the Note 8, will there be image bleedthrough from one side? Or will the phone be perfectly center-aligned?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dmacias:
I ordered from samsungparts.com. If you Google that part number they are the first link. It was $19.73 USD shipped. I'm not sure on the image bleedthrough. I'm waiting on the part myself. I would imagine though that it would be similar to the s8 experience since it would fit about the same.

Yea, the adapter destroyed my screen protector. Can totally see the loca glue lifting off now near the home button.
