ill go with Android One device right now my money is on Mi A1
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nyolc8:
It's a joke that the phone called "Honor 8 LITE" (cheaper version of Honor 8) gets Oreo, and the Honor 8 not. :eek:

After this, I think I will never buy a Honor/Huawei phone again... :(
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] $lim $hady:
Not only OP3.. even Samsung S6 is about to receive Oreo...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] damenbm:
Ikr if the s6 can get Oreo this phone for sure should be able to.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Maverick Honor:
it is typical of Huawei or Honor to provide only one major OS update...if your model came with MM you will get N. If your model launched with N, you will get Oreo. That's it... Irrespective of whether the hardware is capable or not...

we customers are just expecting more than what we are entitled to...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
That moment when your old Xperia SP from 2013 is running totally fine with Android 8.1 while this device has even worse Hardware than the Honor 8... It just can't be Hardware or Software limitation, they don't earn money with updates, that the reason, only with selling new phones.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 7459891:
Looks like I'm never going to buy a Huawei device again, even if it's cheap. I only got this device because there was a special sale on that specific day (About 30% off). Looking back I should probably have gotten a OnePlus 3T which was the phone I originally planned on getting. Oh well, I'm really disappointed in Huawei.

I can just say that my next phone will definitively be a OnePlus, maybe the OnePlus 6 or 6T.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nerusonu:
Bought 2 Honor 8(One for me and other to my wife), and altough i still like the device I doubt I'll ever buy a Honor/Huawei device in a near future...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pranav Kumar:
Even though they launch at 30k in starting they will end up selling phones at 50% or 30% off. In India Honor 8 was launched at 30k but now its been sold at 14.9k :( RIP for those who brought when it was launched (I'm also in sadly )

Lessons Learnt :-

1.Never and ever buy Honor phones at early release stage, if you buy you can't sell after a month also.

2. Never expect updates from Honor, they always gonna late by the time you'll see next major update LOL
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blackherted:
God damn it!

one of the reasons I bought the phone was because they promised two years of updates... can't we sue them over this or something? If that's completely true I'm not buying a hauwei/honor phone again...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] merwyn007:
what the hell first i bought samsung s3 there they stopped update till andriod 4.3.6 (so thought never to buy samsung as they didnt provide update before) then i bought nokia 6 ta-1000, nokia was even worse coz no updates and plus it was not supporting 4g in my area so sold that and bought honor 8 thinking they will update, now with this post i lost hope... i am having bad luck i guess coz now even samsung s6 getting oreo update :P
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kandelai:
I am in the US and searching for a good, as in good specs and camera, cheap replacement smartphone that either has or going to get Oreo. In the same price range the only one that seems to work is the Moto G5 Plus, but it suffers from the same wait and see game for Oreo. I guess I will have to spend big bucks and get a Google Pixel or something in that range. This sucks! I really liked everything about the Honor 8, but the Nougat 7 doesn't have all the bluetooth codex to work with many auto bluetooth's, including my car.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] morpheus302:
Going back with Samsung. This was a bitter experience with my first Honor device. Struggling with development (kudos for Openkirin team), struggling with updates. A dying battery then this.

Everyone of us should learn a lesson after this.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NyoSan:
I asked French Support, maybe European models will have Oreo, they don't have news but when they'll have some, they'll tell us.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ah0y:
We got scammed by XDA and Huawei.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TomTheGeek3:
i'm quoting this guy because i did the same thing to see if honor india live support was going to say the same thing and this was in rom development:

he provided no sources so i decided to contact Honor India support myself and get a transcript so i'm not calling BS on this. i personally believe in the recent news that this is all total BS. there's NO way that Honor can't make Oreo for our phone because of "hardware" incompatibilities. the Honor 8 pro on the other hand isn't even that much different from the normal Honor 8 other than the faster CPU, the pro being a Kirin 960 and ours being a Kirin 950, which begs the question of where this information is coming from.

so as of now, oreo is either in the fate of openkirin (which has a great start of development for our phone!) or honor will cut this b****** about if they're going to release the update or not.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yashraj21:

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sideness:
Guys, guys! Calm down.

It's only the Indian community manager. He's surely wrong. The CEO himself told that we'll get Oreo. I'm still confident that Oreo is coming to Honor 8 :)

All the others messages from Honor tell us that oreo is coming :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pirx73:
I don't understand why some of you are so upset. It is Huawei. All previous Huawei phones my family owned (Ascend P7, P8) also got only 1 major update. Honor 8 begun with 6.0 and got 7.0. That's it.

I was not expecting Oreo to be honest. I would not mind "consolation update" to 7.1.2+EMUI 5.1(5.1.1?) but ... not expecting that either. Huawei usually ignores minor versions.

This is the price for having a fancy, heavily customized UI which requires a lot of testing=money.

This is the real reason, not the "hardware incompatibility" i think. They just don't wont to pour money into Honor 8 development and that's it.

I made up my mind about updates long ago: if you want to be on top with Android updates, buy Google phones.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pix106:
If honor gives full sources, they don't need to test anything, community will. But I think this is exactly what they don't want...

I don't know what the XDA partnership was about, I was naive to think they would release usable full sources to support community development.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SSyar:
totally agree with you.,

i was always a Sony fanboy but when XDA announced the partnership with Honor at the launching time of Honor 8., i went for this device.,

although i am happy with my phone great build quality nice camera and battery but its better to say that we are not upgrading honor 8 because we dont want it, saying its hardware incompatible just not rite
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
If you would like to see an Oreo update, please check my freshly started petition to make it happen: https://www.change.org/p/huawei-tec...droid-oreo-based-emui-8-0-for-honor-8-devices

It will help sell newer devices. Do not bother with that too much then after O comes to P etc. It is important for me that the device works well.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shravansp24:
meanwhile check this out! another chinese manufacturer updating their very first midrange phone that was released half a decade back!

i don't think i can post links but if you go to gsmarena news and check the source, it redirects to official xiaomi account post

shame on Huawei that they can't update a one year old flagship H8/P9
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SALENTINVM:
German and Italian Honor pages say that Indian market is different from European market and that for us there's still no official statement.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Giuskiller:
Yes, Honor Italy told the same to me too. But i think that is just to calm down people. In the end nothing will change because if theorically there was some "issues" with hardware or software of our device it won't be updates for H8 in all market since it is the same device.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Maverick Honor:
This is really impressive by Xiaomi. Waiting for Mi7 launch during MWC. 2018.

My H8 suddenly looks aged.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
Please allow me to clarify some things about Xiaomi:

1 - Update to Miui9 is for all those phones, but for China version only. If you need the required European adaptations, you will need a international release and get it from here

2 - Mi2s mentioned (I have it) is still running on 5.0 and Miui9 wont change that. It's just the skin that changes, not the OS.

3 - I don't know about now, but the brand was widely recognised by not caring about bugs and customer feedback despite saying quite the opposite. A drop at their forum would confirm that.

4 - Let's not forget that most Xiaomi phones don't work in band 20, which is a deal breaker for some people that want to user 4G with certain carriers.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Maverick Honor:
Another update from Honor India on Oreo. Some damage control...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] peneoark:
The only reason I bought this phone was because of the XDA and Honor partnership. I guess I thought that development would be great with the partnership. I was sadly mistaken. I will never buy one of their products again.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] funkiefresh:
That partnership was laughauble, they open source lies for the view 10 now too. Probably gonna be as fake and fail as the Honor 8 partnership.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] SALENTINVM:
Nothing official from India, since honor Italy, Germany and Global say that Oreo is still under testing

May be the European, Australian and Asian (except Indian) models will get it? It's so confusing. :eek:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
Except OnePlus and all the expensive Google Pixel phones out there, what's the best smartphone brand with the best custom ROM support? And which brand offers unlocking your bootloader without harming your warranty?

Don't get me wrong, even if we don't or do get EMUI 8.0 or Oreo or whatever, I am still looking for a future proof phone now (due to custom ROM support), can someone recommend me a phone for later? Even though I don't like OnePlus and the overpriced Pixel phones, they would be probably my best bet right?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lukke2804:
Well i am looking for the exact same phone as you are but since the camera of the OP5 is not that good and I am personally not such a fan of oneplus, my next phone will be a pixel. The camera is just amazing and you get a 3 year Update guarantee it is a very "futureproof" phone. But since the H8 is still a good phone, I will wait for the pixel 3 and see if its worth getting a new phone. Romors say that they will release 3 versions of the pixel 3, with one cheaper version that is stepping into the footprints of the legendary Nexus 5 2013. I hope google has some good smartphones to offer this year and hopefully they are worth their price this time. But even if they are a bit overpriced, I am willing to invest a bit more just ao i dont have to **** around with oems and their bull**** update policies. The best hardware sucks to use if the software does not make you happy
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banan PL:
I'm planning to replace battery that saw better times and cracked front panel at the same time, but is it actually worth to replace it?

1. Screen on time is pretty bad it's less than 3h (~2h 30mins or 2 full charges/day), rarely it will reach 3h. I simply browse web, listen to music and watch some stuff on YT. Also it can discharge on standby randomly, it will simply get massive battery drain for no reason (which happens more often, but still randomly).

2. The crack on the screen seems to be a bigger issue than I expected. While gray line on top of screen disappeared, it slowly start to crumbling under fingers near hit spot and around bigger cracks. Digitizer wasn't damaged after all so it's just glass on front panel. Is it better to get just glass or entire front panel with digitizer and is it worth to buy and disassemble entire device for these two?

Warranty won't cover physical damaged so if I want to get rid of them I have to make it on my own or pay LG but I don't want to.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttocs99:
I would I need a new battery for mine I get 3 to 3 and half hour mixed usage.but it's cheap and easy to replace parts on this
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mozhno:
Changing the battery requires a bit of time since you have to pry the case open and the battery is glued in. I used a hairdryer, carefully, to remove my old battery.

I worked to improve my screen on time, and in two separate tests I got 6.5 - 7 hrs, running video.

Changing just the outer screen is a real pain; it took me quite a while, but ultimately it worked fine. I think I would replace the entire screen assembly, rather than just the outer screen.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttocs99:
I get about 4 and half hours sot running stock no root I might replace the battery and your definitely right about replacement of screen
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] CarpCharacin:
I got a Pixel 2 (non XL), but the screen had kind of a reddish yellow tint, so I sent it back for a replacement, and the replacement also had kind of a tint. I looked at the Pixel at Best Buy, and the screen appeared to be the same, so now I think it might be normal, but before I sent in the first Pixel 2 I received, I asked on reddit about the tint, and someone said that if it got more yellow when you set it to saturated, you should send it in, and it did. When I set the new device in saturated, it gets slightly warmer/more yellow, so is this normal? I talked to Support, and they said it was normal, but I'm wondering if your phone does it too.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
Whites appear more yellow on this device vs an LCD screen. It only gets more yellow as you switch to saturated mode. The pixel 2 did not have a dull color issue like the XL version, so there is no need to use the saturated mode. Use the boosted mode and you'll be happy and colors will look more natural.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] CarpCharacin:
Both the original Pixel 2 I got and the replacement have slight reddish tints near the top of the screen when viewing a white background. Is this normal? I think the Pixel 2 I saw at Best Buy might have had it too.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] CarpCharacin:
The reddish/pinkish tint is mainly in the top of the screen, and I tried to take a picture of it, but it wouldn't show up. It bugs me when, so I might return it and get a OnePlus 5t.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Li.Ke:
Hi guys,

it is my first thread so please apologize inconvenience upfront, thank you.

I own a Pixel 2 since a couple of days and I really like it. But since I'm coming from a Huawei device and need to use iOS devices in my company I'm really familiar with the 'no app drawer' thing.

Yeah, I know that this is something most of the people love, but I really can't get used to it.

Is there anyone who maybe know how to disable the app drawer?

Already tried different launcher and the only one that I've found was the Mi-Launcher.

If there is the emui launcher somewhere outside, I would prefer this but I've looked already day after day for it.

Any help is much appreciated!

Thank you all.

cheers

Li.Ke
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
Give it some more time. It's really nice to keep your home screen clutter free and all apps sorted alphabetically in the drawer. You wouldn't want all your computer find at work sorted randomly on the desktop, would you?

But if you must change it, I'm sure there are a bunch of iOS themed launchers in the play store. That's the beauty of Android... Choice!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] smorgar:
You could use Nova Launcher. Just disable swipe app drawer and hide the drawer button. Make sure the setting "place newly installed apps on home screen" is enabled.

Yo dude google camera is indeed improving the picture you took with your smartphone, in fact it's a lot. Take a look at this video comparing <€150 Xiaomi phones with stock camera, Ported google camera, and Google pixel 2, and you can see that the result is night and day compared to the stock camera app, and even matching the photos taken with the Google pixel 2! So don't underestimate this app, it's ported and wanted by many community for a reason, it's not just a ****ty apps in play store, this is the app that makes the google pixel known for its camera.

The google cam version is 5.1.018.177470874.

HDR+ thing doesn't work, in fact the app is detecting my phone's rom as custom ( my phone is NOT unlocked or modded... Yet)

There's no "Portrait mode" but instead the "Lens blur" mode which is actually the same? Correct me if im wrong

The app itself runs smoothly, no crashes. Just like the stock camera app. Just tell me if you want the link though. And i'll try to make comparisons between the stock camera app and google cam app soon. (My connection is so bad rn i can't upload images)

Lack of RAW mode is a real turn off on this Phone, my old Lumia 950XL took amazing photos and had an insanely powerful flash. If I'm completely honest, the camera and flash are the weakest part of this device so I can easily see why folk want to try and mod it. Actually, in an ironic twist, the screen delivers a brighter flash then the actual flash, to bad its the wrong way around to help the camera.
