[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] trol_sg:
Some people I know have honor 8 L04 with the latest EMUI update and the latest Google Play Services. One workaround is, when you're affected, disable wifi and data to prevent autoupdating, sign out google account and then uninstall play store updates and uninstall goolge play services updates, clearing data in both. Reboot, and login google account. After they get reupdated, sometimes the phone is stable for some hours, and some other times it is quite stable for a longer period. Sometimes a reboot can trigger the problems again, and some others they keep stable.

This apply for honor 8 and many other older models such as honor 6, 7, huawei p7, huawei p8, etc.

But it's still a workaround, not a real solution.

In your case I don't think there's much involved with the EMUI update version, but going back to previous version, the procedure likely comprise something of what I've explained above, as going back the previous version I guess it is forcing the google play services and play store to re-update in the first boot&sign.

Hope it helps.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i2000s:
Good to know this workaround! I'll inform other people. I'll keep monitoring my phone to see how long it can last.

In the meantime, I have got reports from Nokia 6 and 7 (on Android 8.1) users. The Nokia 7 user reported it went back to normal when setting always on with WLAN when sleeping. Ref from a Chinese forum: https://www.v2ex.com/t/455361#reply88

Same problem here with an Honor 8

Unplug my SD card seems to did the tricks
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jretropie:
clear the Cache on google services app or setting the wifi to always on seems to fixed the problem for me. The phone haven't freeze last 24hours. It usually freeze every half an hour and required hard reboot.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i2000s:
Considering users on Oreo with Honor 8 doesn't experience this issue, it might be Android version related as well? See https://xdaforums.com/honor-8/how-t...droid-oreo-t3785289/post76542532#post76542532

I am on Android 7.0 with B360 on L04, now 36 hours later, it seems stable yet with known bad battery performance. Testing result update: https://imgur.com/gallery/IkpzKrC

With 1 wifi calling and 3 hours of screen-on time, ~20% battery left.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i2000s:
After my ~9 hours of test on my Honor 8 (EMUI 5.0, L04-B360, Android 7.0), I think the major problem has been solved. The battery consuming rate almost recovered to the level that I reported 1.5 years ago, wifi connection is normal again. The only issue I found is that the wifi connection indicator on the battery management interface doesn't show correctly. That is, it shows wifi was on even though I had turned off the wifi or when the wifi went off during sleep time. Detailed battery drain report can be found here:https://imgur.com/gallery/BQkdOOG , with the third pic showing the battery consuming rate 1.5 years ago with 6:38 hours of screen-on time. The Google Play Services consuming level can be found here: https://imgur.com/gallery/HqPf969 . I will upgrade to EMUI 5.0.1 to continue further tests, for example, to see if the wifi indicator in the battery management interface is normal or not.

Again, as provided above, if you are interested in trying out the new fix, please update your phone with the following package (I am not responding for any damages it may cause): https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-12-6-85-release/

Good luck and report back!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] daspyki:
I don't know if I am on the correct thread or not. I am facing a huge battery drain issue. Currently running L09C185B395. Factory reset didn't help much. Installed system panel app and it's showing around/over 60% unaccounted usage. But the app is detecting the battery to be 3900mAh. Any idea what might be the problem? Also I have installed the new beta release of Google play service app.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ubabic:
Not so long ago I had exactly the same problem as you. My version is FRD-L09C432B404. Battery drain was abnormal and my phone was heating with no particular reason during use and on standby too. At first I didn't know what's going on and I tried do uninstall all the apps that I have updated that day but battery drain was not fixed. I have tried reboot, clearing cache, safe mode, to power it off for some time but I think that my battery was draining even if my phone was completely turned off.

I had GP Services uninstalled and reinstalled several times, GP Store too, but with no sucess. I have used GSam Battery Monitor, BetterBatteryStats and SytemPanel too but non of those apps couldn't show me exactly what was the cause of battery drain. In the end I was forced to do complete Factory Reset but I made a full backup first using Huawei Backup app. My phone was reseted, i have recovered all my pictures, videos, documents and apps and everything looks like it was OK. But after 2-3 days problem started to show again. My phone was so hot like never before and drain was present too...

And then I made new complete backup, ejected my SD card and formated it with PC, wiped cache, factory reseted my phone (2 times) and started to use it just with apps that came with phone. I deleted all the bloatware first and disabled some of the Google apps that I don't use and that was it. The phone was heating again during use but not such as before. Battery drain was still there but not so terrible. Tomorrow I left my phone with 35% of battery in my locker in the workshop. I came after several hours and wanted to check it (and charge it of course) and when I took it in my hands it was cold as ice. I looked at battery and it was at 33%. I could not beleve it. I then left it couple of hours more and it was still on 33%. Battery drain suddenly stopped. How and why I really don't know like I don't know why it started in the first place...

Now, for several days, I'm instaling my apps from backup file. Just 3-5 apps per day and I'm checking my battery all the time. Everything is fine since then and I can easily get 6 hours SOT or more per one charge. Battery is definetly better then ever...

I'm currently on previous version of GP Services v12.6.73 and I don't know now is it smart to update to the latest version that you all are talking about?

I hope that everything will be OK when Oreo finally comes on H8. I see that lot of people are more than satisfied with update on other Huawei models...

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] trol_sg:
12.6.73 is problematic to your phone, earlier or later you will face problems. You've to update to the newest version where they fixed a big problem with permissions.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] daspyki:
Thank you. I will try formatting my SD card. Another thing, does your phone also has the issue with unaccounted usage? Mine shows around 70% of unacc usage after 1 hour of usage. Please give me an update if you find anything significant that might be causing this issue.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ubabic:
Yes. In SystemPanel there was unaccounted usage but I can't remember how much was it. It was maybe little bit lower than yours but it was still too much considering all other apps and services...

I have just updated GP Services to the latest version and will see how it goes. I hope that it will do no harm to the battery usage that I currently have because it's more than great. For example, I unplugged my phone last night when it was complete charged to 100%. This morning (after almost 8 hrs) it was still on 100%... [emoji106]

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] trol_sg:
New version is not problematic to the phone but as long as it works perfectly it wakes the phone up more times, draining battery slightly more (compared to the moments when the version of 73 did not stuck the CPU or cause bigger problems).

In my experience, stand by time fluctuated due to network/signal strength a lot, not only because phone looks for networks more, but apps (and specifically GMS) do a lot of more network searches, causing a much bigger impact. Signal fluctuation affect battery performance much more than any other thing. I know this because I made a few tests leaving the phone in forced 2G, forced 3G and forced 4G in different places and checked the results for a long time.

[MENTION=6103239]trol_sg[/MENTION] Seems this new google update slowly brings things back to normal, position mark does not jump arround like crazy in navigation applications anymore.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kahroo:
The new update for play services actually makes Lyft and other apps that use the maps api useable again and not have it be blank saying Google play services are updating. So that's good
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skubko:
Yeap, I can confirm the same - version 12.6.85 that updated itself on my device (Honor 8) on Monday fixed the map problem. However, I do not know about WiFi, I am planning to test it - to change the WiFi always on setting back to "Never" but I did not find the courage to do that just yet :D... Anybody else tried it already?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] aedel:
Yes the wifi issue has been resolved and i am testing the "Never" setting for 3 days now without any problems. :good: thank you google for the update.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] valp88:
Back in May I didn't notice the issues reported here, but very recently my phone (L19B380) began to have massive battery drain out of nowhere. Maybe it's the Google Services again?

Yup I've noticed it too. My phone is getting hot as well. I'm sideloading 12.8.74 now, will check if it solved the issues

Not 100% sure but i think Huawei update B406 helps too.

[General Questions and Answers] asus boy:
So when I send a text message from Samsung Note 8 to another Samsung galaxy (like the Edge S7), my device name appears on his device in the text bubble under my name. I wonder if anybody noticed that on their Samsung devices when receiving a text from another Samsung galaxy. The thing is that when my friend send me a text from his S7, I do not see his device name, just the text message. If the Note 8 is somehow sharing the device name with other Samsung devices is there a way to stop that, to turn it off. I have already turn off the profile sharing but I wonder if there're other options that needs to be turn of or changed. Thanks

[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] sachdev.rohan342:
I've had my N8 for a month now and I've seen that ever since that lately, the app drawer has stopped resizing when I change Settings > Display > Display Size. This is incredibly annoying as the 5-across grid is incredibly congested and cumbersome to use. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. the app drawer grid resized fine earlier, this issue has started happening lately only
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] ajgftw:
Just to eliminate the obvious stuff...

Have you rebooted the phone since changing the display size?
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] sachdev.rohan342:
Yes mate, rebooted, cleared the launcher app cache (and a few other caches I could find, Oreo doesn't let you clear the cache in just one touch, unlike previous versions), cleared the launcher app data...

I chatted with Nokia support, they first tried convincing me that the app drawer always had a 5-across layout, and when I asked why it changes in the preview in the settings (under display>display size), they just said it's not possible to do it.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Didusieq:
I can agree, it doesnt change. Even when using Pixel Launcher 2.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] ajgftw:
Aside from pulling the launcher apk from a previous OS update, might be easier to try a custom launcher like Nova, Lawnchair or Pear. They are all derived from the same AOSP launcher as the Nokia stock launcher so you'll still feel at home using them. (Pun intended)
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] sachdev.rohan342:
You're right, I gave up and downloaded Evie Launcher. Still disappointed at Nokia Support's handling of the situation though.
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] bromoxitos:
Hello all I have the Xperia X, it is not my first time that I buy an Xperia and since a i am a guy that in the past has a Nexus devices I like to test ROMs.

To the point before I unlocked the bootloader I see some videos and I read some threads for the DRM keys back up. I do the back up with tool V2 all good the img file is 2mb etc , my problem is that I can't understand the process to restore it, in Nexus devices was more simple they don't have T_A keys.

I read again some threads but I can't understand the exactly command's all the times that I try from some pages the command list the ADB fails!!

Any one that can explain me steep by steep?
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] bromoxitos:
1st of all thanks a lot for all this information and for the fast repont!!

2on yea now I see that Sony is the Apple Android, it have many staff to learn before touch the bootloader, but I thought cose of Sony Xperia open source project that was be easier that any other company!! Ok I will check all this information to my home!!

I have downloaded all the Xperia tool's form the 1st place!

. And finally I will report you what happen when I finish!!
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
the devil is in the details where SONY Xperias are concern.

for SONY, Open Project means THE DEVICE IS NO LONGER SONY AND NOW YOU HAVE TO BUILD YOUR OWN OPERATING SYSTEM.

Once BOOT is UNLOCKED , for sony it means DIVORCE

you can always try third party roms , currently we have only 2 or 3 (Omnirom, PanAndroid and XGen) Xgen is prerooted modifed SONY STOCKROM ( I am using XGEN)

Yes sir, there is alot to be be learned just on the are of how to baby sit Xperia :( , the method of ROOTING, Flashing Twrp and finding right kernels/modes is WHOLE different world. we will come to it once you have your TA.IMG and you unlock your bootloader
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] bromoxitos:
Well I see!!

1st I want to say that I use the same room with you because it have DRM restore key's and I am happy with that!! It is a very good stock ROM with nice features.

2on I try custom ROMs but the biggest problem for me is that finger print reader does not work properly!! So now I have the xgen ROM. But I supposed that for now is better to return in-stock locked bootloader until a good aosp ROM works properly!! That's way I need to understand how I can restore my DRM key's!!
[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
1. thank you, you are most welcome

2. Xgen is modded Stockrom, working okay for now! but cant be 100% substitute of actual stockrom

3. please see this guide about RESTORING DRMKEYS! the only way is to relock your bootloader!

the RELOCKING is same way thats explained in the post for XZ, i never relocked it so i dont know why its not working for you.

also, please understand that SONY has made sure NO TURNING BACK POLICY from 2018. once unlocked you can never go back

so it was with 2016 device only where bootlock can be toggled! .

meaning?

if you have xzp today! you can never relock it! it will stay unlocked forever!

Well yes I see but I have Xperia x, that's I will stay in custom stock ROM!! Thanks a lot for the Replay!!!
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nlghtmare:
In today’s information overload environment, I believe some of you are interested in the novelties and news in the smartphone industry but are overwhelmed by promotional articles and advertisements online. Don’t worry, let me summarise the top 5 breaking news in the smartphone industry in May.

The smartphone notch is a status symbol. LG surveyed over 1,000 people across the US, UK, Italy, and Korea. The results show that only about 30 percent said no to it, while the rest of the participants indicates that they either liked or don’t mind the notch. So whether you like it or not, the smartphone notch is here to stay (https://www.engadget.com/2018/05/02/lg-g7-people-like-the-notch/).

Sophisticated Android malware tracks all your phone activities. An advanced type of malware can spy on nearly every Android smartphone function and steal password, photos, videos from apps, targeting at the subjects in the Middle East (https://www.engadget.com/2018/05/07/zoopark-android-malware-exfiltration/).

China’s XiaoMi files for mega Hong Kong IPO. XiaoMi filed for a Hong Kong initial public offering on last Thursday, being the largest listing by a Chinese tech company in almost 4 years (https://economictimes.indiatimes.co...ts-lid-on-financials/articleshow/64008892.cms).

Apple faces camera patent lawsuit over iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X. The Israel-based startup Corephotonics filed a second lawsuit against Apple, claiming that Apple is coping its dual-camera system. It will certainly be interesting to see where this case goes. The Corephotonics have to show that Apple utilised the tech that the company presented in its meeting (https://www.engadget.com/2018/05/01/apple-dual-camera-patent-lawsuit-coretronics-iphone-x/).

Honor10 launch event in London. Honor has scheduled a launch event on 15th May in London and it is highly possible that it will unveil the Honor10 smartphone at that time. Personally, the honor9 is a nice product that guarantees value for money so that Honor10 is worth expecting (https://www.facebook.com/honorglobal/ ).

Among these big things in smartphone industry, which one do you prefer or which one do you have comments on?
