[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomar777:
I cant understand the need of newer software and updates from many people here. What exactly is you need so much and cant live without, from Android O?

Ok a better battery performance would be nice, but what else? I have a midrange phone that works just fine, the EMUI i find very nice, the camera is good for the money i paid.

Phones are mainly communication tools, they are made to do certain jobs and this one does em very well.

About the developer issue in the first post, yes its a pitty, there could be some roms with extra features and improvements which could come handy but...

Knives are made for us to cut things, not to sharpen them all the time.

Ps: i rooted my previus phone and put a custom rom and kernel too.

But this was because i was not satisfied with its functions. And lost a lot of time with updating/testing/waiting for bug fixes till it worked.

Then CM closed, Lineage came, phone got a mess, lost a key feature i needed, so i returned back to stock and sold the phone.

Even if there are custom roms on this one, i will keep it stock, because IT WORKS FINE for me.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
well said bro.

I'm also experiment flashed almost all gimmicks of custom ROM s and tired,

lastly remained with Stock EMUI + Magisk modules , clean and fast with all functioning features.:angel:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Debopam.exe:
That is because of the lack of stable ROMs. If good ROMs were available, many people would switch to those, because most people don't like EMUI or want to have the latest software
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
We need oreo because the future apps will have updates only for oreo in the near future.

Emui 8.0 must be on almost all huawei phones that already have Emui 5.0/5.1 because it provides a better and a stable software. Also it has some nice features like Substranium support (which i consider it very usedfull.

I understand what you mean, but having a devide with outdated android and outdated security is just useless, because you will end up having your device vulnerable to viruses/hacks.

---------- Post added at 08:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 AM ----------

P9 lite 2016 users are still waiting for EMUI 5.1 or 8.0

Even honor 5x users are still waiting for EMUI 5.0

And even Honor 8/8 pro users are waiting for 8.0

Make a petition already. The world must hear our voices
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomar777:
The future apps, in 6-7 years...

Software is 100% stable at the moment on FRD L-09. Better software? What for example?

Outdated? Anroid 5 still running on many devices and doing the job, we have 7 at the moment.

Security, i will agree with you, if you make money transfers via phone its an issue. Otherways, if you dont install from unknown sources i see no big threat, never had a phone-virus.

No offense, but all i understand from all those "we want oreo,this and that" posts is "give us new toys to play"

Sure its fun, but if i like to program stuff i would get a Raspbery Pi, its much more fun.

PS. I would wait till January 2018 to see what Huawei will do. I think after updating the new models they will again give some update for Honor 8 too.

Dont think they want to lose old customers after such a good selling year.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
This have nothing to do with personal preferences but with brand credibility. Once one commercial promise is broken and people accept it (keeping quiet and/or buying more from Honor/Huawei), it sets the precedent.

This year is software updates, next year they can say they offer the first screen replacement for free. Or all their phones are backdoor-access-free. Or battery usage will be optimised in the future.

It's not that promise, it's the promise itself.

Get that in your skulls.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Agreed.

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

True. But if they don't maintain a phone that they promised 24 months of updates (2 os updates and the rest are for security, performance, battery and stability).

I know huawei very well and i enjoy their hard work ever since i moved from samsung (because their os is unstable and they stopped providing updates to flagshits), but if they promised os updates, they stick with it.

Still if they don't provide updates for a phone that's at least 1 year old , then for what reason we buy them if they don't get anymore support?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomar777:
I agree too. I moved from samsung too. But i also expect them to just give an update with security updates only, they want to sell new phones like all brands.

Time will show...

But still its the best midrange phone i ever had.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yalokiy:
They didn't break the promise regarding software updates.

My honor 8 FRD-L04 gets an update every 3 month.

Even if they don't deliver oreo but push security updates, the promise is not broken.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
True.

But emui 8.0 will bring fantastic battery and performance (due to oreo optimisations.) That's why we need it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Isn't actually Honor 8 a flagship?

Phones like P9 lite are midrange.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomar777:
it was the flagship for honor models last year. You could call it a flagship killer then due to price and camera performance. it was the smart buy. Premium features in a cheaper phone. Cant compete with todays flagships. Lag of OIS on cam and cam software. i have to edit every pic i take on auto/hdr to get a vivid result. Not compareable with U11,HTC 10,S7-8,Pixel,L5-6 on this sector. Screen protection class and some other things are minus points. But still a buyworthy tool today.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sic0048:
I just picked up an Honor 8 to replace my really old LG G3. I have to say that I am actually impressed with EMUI 5.0.1. I was expecting the worst the way everyone talks about it (and I'm sure the older versions probably were junk). Sure it doesn't have all the bells and whistles as a fully custom ROM, but there are actually features that EMUI has that other ROMs don't - like with the screen off you can long press vol down and speak a name to quick dial someone.

Between EMUI, Magik, Nova Launcher and Nova Launcher gestures (specifically using the flashlight lock trick to get back my double tap to sleep functionality), I honestly have 98% of what I would look for in a custom ROM.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I want to buy an Honor 8 phone too, but seeing all the negative reviews about updates...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] sic0048:
Official updates have been fine I think - quarterly security updates and the phone was updated to Nugget in a timely manner. We actually got the October security update this week. That is much faster than most phones outside of the pixel line. It seems Oreo is being tested on some variations, so the assumption is we will get it early next year.

The biggest complaint (and what the OP was upset about - and rightly so) is the lack of third party ROMs and development. The phone is easily unlocked and rootable, but don't expect much in the way of ROMs. If you can live with that, I think this phone can be a great choice.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
For me (my opinion), custom roms are garbage, depending on who ports/who develops it.

I'm not a fan of custom roms when my phone runs better than a custom rom.

And somehow it's Huawei's fault because they didn't provide sources for us to use for development(or they did?)

If my phone runs great, i just keep it like that. I don't need to void my warranty/break my phone just for a custom rom.(except if they stop providing security updates.)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Days Tech:
When you buy a phone that is good for its price you usually lose it on the software update side. Live with it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ascertion:
The Le Eco Pro3 has better development and it was cheaper. That said, Honor specifically mentioned they'd help the devs with development but all they did was post how great their device was in replies and didn't release kernel sources until months after the software for nougat released.

Either way, I have issues with Android Auto and will be replacing the device soon. It's otherwise very good for the price.

I think it's pretty sad they promised Dev commitment and didn't provide it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] droidbot1337:
huawei in general is a joke. id rather buy an iphone than ever get another huawei. for those complaining of why it matters whether we get the latest software..... wow! phones arent just for communication. for many of us phones are essential. many of us use our phones for work and school. if we cant get the most out of our devices then why use them. updates are important because updates fix vulnerabilities.

i took a gamble with huawei when i bought the mate 7 and will never buy their stuff again. thankfully 1+, LG, Nokia, Sony, HTC and even samsung have better offerings and since they all mostly use Snapdragon SOCs it means that those devices will have a long life. at this point, i think i might just buy a new battery and screen so that i can revive my nexus 5. i hear oreo on it is awesome!

remember everyone, only buy from OEMs that release all sources!!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jinx626:
Out of curiosity what was you issue with the honor 8 and andorid auto? I initially had trouble with it playing my music via google music through android auto (no sound would come out or very select songs) but fixed it by downloading an app called "Equalizer".
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TomTheGeek3:
as much as i love this phone and emui 5 (i'm actually enjoying it as much as i can, it's not all that bad), the custom rom scene here is dead. openkirin hasn't done any update to this phone since sep 24th (https://github.com/OpenKirin) and it's incredibly vague on how to build any sort of rom for this phone.

i'd build a rom for this phone if someone can just tell me how to do it. it shouldn't be hard to just import kernel and device tree sources, but the build always fails. if any experienced dev can just simply tell me how to build the rom, i'd do a monthly build of lineage. it's not the same as a qualcomm device for sure, i just don't know how the hell to import the kernel sources from EMUI to a stock kernel. it's confusing and it's probably why most of these devs who built roms just simply left it to die.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ascertion:
Waze doesn't work at all, it freezes AA whenever I have it installed.

Secondly, if I receive a call while using Android Auto, it doesn't prompt me to answer it on the dashboard, it only lets me answer if I swipe it on the actual phone screen. Also during a call, it does not register that I'm on a call on the dashboard and it means I can't hang up unless I press the button on the phone display.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Dewang p3100:
my oneplus 5 was working fine before 4.5.13 ota update after that my phone doesnt rotate to left and gets inverted.I tried flashing other roms and hard reset but no luck.There are more users having problem after this update,any solution?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Kaputeko:
Pass the stock rom by adb sideload

Set the device to fastboot mode and connect the USB cable. Then type:

adb sideload rom.zip

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Dewang p3100:
its wierd that 4.5.13 is causing this issue as permanent damage
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] GAMIT PRUTHVI:
Yesterday I went to OnePlus service center, they're asking me to pay 2900 INR for the sensor.

I've denied to pay and they rejected my devise by mentioning it as a physical damage
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Aalikhan:
I bought my phone a few days back and noticed same funny behavior with compass (if not mistaken works with rotation sensor also). I gripped my phone firmly so my phone can't fly off from my hand, after that I gave it several sharp and sudden turns on both ends of 3 axis of rotation (X,Y,Z) my problem was solved. You can try it at your own peril. If you have positive results, let me know.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] turbotorsten:
I had this too. Now I'll stay on OOS 4.10 after gettig it repaired for free.

No idea I guess we just had bad luck with the Mainboard. I don't think it had to do with the specific update.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] reagan1998:
Hello everyone. I bought a Nexus 6P off of ebay with a bad battery, in the process of replacing the battery, I broke the screen by separating the glass from the digitizer instead of from the back cover (I was half asleep when I was taking it apart, so my impatience broke it). Any way, I bought a bootlooping 6P from swappa for $60 that had a flawless screen with a protector already on it. It came wit the original box, original charger and a decent case. It was a pretty good deal.

I was able to get put my working motherboard in the swappa phone and it has been working fine ever since, except for fast charging. When I noticed that the swappa phone does have an aftermarket battery, but would that effect fast charging? I am using the oem charger it came with, and it is not rapid charging my phone . The highest it goes is around 1200 MAH according to amphere. Is my charging board bad or is it the battery not allowing it to fast charge? Also, I am getting the same rate from a generic charger I got from best buy, that does not fast charge.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] reagan1998:
Bump
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Exodusche:
I have a cheap eBay battery and still get a good charging speed from the stock and car charger. I higher battery percentage will slow down the rate. There is also this. You sure your using original cable or maybe it's worn out?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Nikanore:
I wouldn't recomend using the stock charger as the aftermarket batteries a usually just cheap copies of Huawei's OEM batteries for the Nexus 6p, therefore they are not suitable for fast charging. I myself have changed a battery in my nexus and just charge it with regular 5V/2A powerbrick.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Exodusche:
The Nexus 6p has a higher rated charger that's it. Using on aftermarket battery will not cause any harm. I think it's a misconception from most that the 6p has some kind of quick or rapid charge.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] kj89:
Sorry but you're wrong about an aftermarket battery not being able to cause harm. An aftermarket battery must be designed to operate under the same or very similar conditions for it to be safe to use.

I'd post a link that covers this but can't due to not having over 10 posts but you can find it on stackexchange.
[Android Head-Units] guybrushl:
Hi,

i have recently changed my original radio MAZDA CX7 2007 BOSE SYSTEM, for a PX5 2GB Android 6.

With the original radio, i could change the clock display (with a button on the radio) to see "instant consumtion", "remainig kilometers", etc., and, of course, change the time of the clock.

But with the new unit PX5 i don't know how.

Somebody knows how to?

I have attached a look from my old radio and panel, for better compression, and the new unit.

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclipsian:
Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S5 and I was hoping to find some help here.

When I got up this morning I unplugged my S5 from its charger. However, it was turned off which is usually not the case as I usually don't turn it off. After trying to switch it on for several times and failing with it, I asked Google for help.

What I found after some research was a hint that it might be a problem with either the battery, the charging cable or the mainboard that has been damaged/burned.

Long story short, after some testing (tried a new battery and charging cable) and going to two different repair shops, it turned out it probably is the mainboard. (I'm writing 'probably' because I don't trust those shops 100%. I left my phone at the second shop for about 2.5 hours though, for error diagnostics).

Nevertheless, what I want your help with are these three questions:

1. If there really is a problem with the mainboard, how can I find it all by myself? Is there a way to tell it apart? And is there a way of telling which (more or less) exact part/entity of the mainboard has been damaged?

2. Let's say the mainboard is damaged. Is it possible to fix it? And by fixing I don't mean to just replace the mainboard, but really fixing it. (Ofc I know it might depend on the part that has been damaged, this is why I asked Question #1).

3. Assuming there is no (feasible) way to repair that mainboard. How can I possibly save the data stored on the internal memory? Is there any Software available that can still read the storage? Or do I have to physically move the memory chip to a functioning mainboard, e.g. by soldering?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibuprophen:
My personal opinion would be that one or both of the following may have happened.

1) Bad Charger - Chargers can go bad without any warning that resulted in your battery going dead.

2) Bad Battery - Also can just go bad suddenly or over time.

The motherboard of your device has a type of regulator that will only allow a certain amount of voltage/amperage to pass on to the battery. It's extremely rare for a proper charger to kill a motherboard (unless jumper cables were involved LOL!).

Your best bet is to replace both the battery and the charger but, this is only a suggestion/recommendation.

I wish you the best of luck!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclipsian:
Thank you very much. Unfortunately using a new battery and a new charger didn't solve the problem. And my charger is still in use for my backup phone, which is a Samsung Galaxy S2, and it's still working fine.

So it appears it really narrows down to some physical damage on the board.

After some more reading I found out that professional data recovery uses eMMC adapters for their SD card slot, as eMMC is downwards compatible to MMC. Unfortunately those adapters come at a cost of 85-230$, which of course is still cheaper than paying for professional data recovery, yet too expensive for having no actual clue how it even works. I still didn't figure out what the data will look like once I get access to the memory chip. Will I have to use an android emulator to get to the data? Will I have to use some special recovery tool to read the memory? Or is the eMMC already formatted in such a way that Windows can easily read it?

Anyway, what I'll try now is the cheapest method that came to my mind: mounting the eMMC on some sort of USB stick, that I found on aliexpress for 5$+shipping (it's called "USB3.0 eMMC 153 169 U disk PCB NS1081 main controller without flash memory for recycle emmc emcp chips").

I hope this will suffice to read the memory, somehow.

Any comments on this?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibuprophen:
Unfortunately Motherboards can go bad suddenly too but, there's a few options.

Option 1) You can try buying a USB JIG from eBay for $3-5, it's a tool designed to force your device into download mode. It isn't guaranteed to work but if it does you can flash the firmware. If it doesn't then you only lose $5.

Option 2) You can see if there's a friendly and helpful individual at an official service center for your device for a JTAG service. Though it isn't guaranteed to work but, some may do it for nothing while others can charge up to $50 +/-. The fees are all individually determined by them. Some have the JTAG service there while others require it to be shipped to another shop to repair them and then ship it back to you.

Option 3) You can always purchase another compatible motherboard and put the new one in your device. This is an option you can do yourself if you're careful.

These options/suggestions are the best that I can think of at this time and I hope one of those will work out for you.

Good Luck!
