Is it necessary to come from the latest version of rom stock to be able to flash this beta? I have done the manual process and it has stopped me in the bootloader, it does not start.

Hello All,

Today i tried flashing a new rom on my 3T. But failed with the message:

E3004, This package is for device OnePlus3T, oneplus3t; this device is .

Updater process ended with error: 7

Clearly the model name has somehow been removed from my device.

I've tried removing the asserts lines in the update script of the rom, but then my phone throws error 4 or error 6 codes.

Is there a way to rewrite the model name in my phone?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Paschfire:
Discuss this issue with the ROMs Devs.

Also.. What version of TWRP recovery are you using? If not running the latest Official 3.2.1-0, or equivalent if suggested up-to-date UnOfficial TWRP build, I suggest updating your recovery and try again.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skubko:
Hi everyone,

since yesterday I am having a major issue with my Honor 8 (FRD-L09, unbranded, stock OTA /Android 7.0, security patch level 5.8.2017/). After some time (it can be several minutes or hour) the phone becomes unresponsive. I am able to unlock the display but that is all. It is not possible to swipe left/right/notification bar. Software buttons are working, what helps (for at least some time) is when I hit left square button and clear memory. Even it clears only 20 MB, phone is running ok for some time again. Battery drain is enourmous - yesterday when these problems started for me I had 93% and in 4 hours without using phone at all it dropped to 40% ! When I check battery stats, it is drained by "Android system".

Yesterday I missed some phone calls because of that (I know people called me, but no missed call and no missed call sms from operator). The first sympthoms I noticed yesterday were (apart from slow response) that when I swiped some nofitication away, or I closed some app (that had notification icon), the notification icon(s) did not disappear from the bar, but applications were closed...

What is the most important information is that this behavior started for me yesterday morning OR Wednesday evening /not 100% sure here/. And also what is important is that my colleague has the same phone (bought from different seller, but again unbranded etc.) and he started to have the exact same issues on Tuesday (8.5.2018).

Any help from you would be much appreciated, I am assuming it was caused by some background update of whatever (Google? Huawei?)

Thanks.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
Easier (and faster?) than looking for the needle in the haystack is to backup with HiSuit and then factory reset in the stock recovery.

Then instead of restoring apps, download them from Google Play and setup manually the ones you can. Check progressively for any behaviour (lag and drain). Install something to check SOC utilization per process, like a task manager.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skubko:
Yeap, if this would be case just for myself, it would have been the first thing I would do. But if two different phone owners have the same issue, I do not think factory reset will do the trick. I will just loose everything, will need to setup everything manually, install manually and for nothing as I believe the same situation will appear afterwards... My first guess is Google Play Services. When I check it in Google Play store, from yesterday there are several one-star comments complaining about different misbehaviours, I am just surprised that here in Honor 8 forum I did not find any complaints yet...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattyboyo:
I'm having the same issue for the last couple if days
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rjt378:
My mother has this phone and is having the same exact issues for the last few days. Really bizzare stuff. She just called to let me know she has a full battery before going to bed last night and now it's drained to nothing and the time is somehow two hours behind so her alarm didn't go off. She almost missed getting up for work. A restart seems to return it to normal but not for long.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xmonika:
The same problem appeared by me, fw B404. From yesterday, the wifi goes down, sees no network. Today it appeared unresponsive only SW buttons worked but no apps. I tried the restart now it tooks 10 minutes.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hybris03:
Hello everyone,

I have the same problem for a few weeks on my FRD-L09.

After a few minutes or hours, my phone becomes very slow and the battery is empty very quickly. Wifi becomes hs too. I can just unlock the phone.

I made a factory reset and the problem is still present. Glad to see that I'm no longer the only one to have this problem!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
Have anyone installed and pulled some logs from CPU Spy?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] lucifer.9:
I am facing same issue on my L02 model from past 2 days, many apps slows down or not load properly like uber, facebook, walpy, google assistant and some other google apps. May be honor slows down the phone like apple, to increase their latest phone sales or its due to google tickling with their services..
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] supersakis:
hello all,

- do you have an SD card? if yes, have you tried removing it?

- emui comes with avast pre-installed, which updates and scans behind the scenes. maybe it's a bad virus definition update, try to disable it!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hybris03:
for me, I don't have sd card and avast is not installed.

I'm in stock rom and the problem seems to be present since the B403.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rjt378:
I was just toying around with my mother's phone and initallly it was fine but then froze in the same way people describe. Restarted and was fine but then apps started launching on their own until it eventually froze. It's like it's possessed. I've had Play Service issues specific to my Axon 7 in the past but nothing like this. How the hell does the system time change itself and lose two hours? That's bizzare. Someone in China having a little fun?

This just started out of the blue a few days ago. She noticed it Wednesday but it might have started Tuesday. She's 70 and often complains about her phone and it's just her. It's obviously the phone this time.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] supersakis:
Avast scanner is preinstalled and included in Phone Manager, so you have it for sure, but it is well hidden. Go to Phone Manager -> Virus Scan and you will see their logo. You can disable periodic scanning from there.

Two more questions that may help you:

- Is the problem persisting if you set the phone to Power saving? Or ultra power saving? (although in the latter case most of the functionality is disabled anyway)

- Have you tried to install BetterBatteryStats (with the extra permissions using adb commands) and check what is causing wakeups/alarms and partial wakelocks? Maybe that will help you identify the culprit.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] limta:
I've got exactly the same problem, which also started a couple of days ago. The phone becomes unresponsive - I can unlock it but not much else, possibly remove notifications but the ones below don't move up when I do. A restart only helps briefly, and I have to do it by holding down the power button for 10 secs, otherwise, it gets stuck on the reboot animation.

edit: My phone is also an Honor 8.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hybris03:
It's ok for avast.

Problem is always present with the different modes of the power manager.

I'm currently at work, I will test BetterBatteryStats tomorrow night.

Thank you for your help

Downgrade to March

Downgrade to March Upgrade B403 seems to solve the problem.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] aedel:
Got an update for L09 B395. my phone becomes unresponsive everytime my phone get sleep while wifi is open. the problem is due to wifi setting "Keep wifi ON during sleep" is set to NEVER. when i changed the wifi setting to "Always" my phone run smoothly again.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hybris03:
I will try changing the wifi settings and if the problem persists, I will try downgrade to B403.

I'll keep you informed.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kharthax:
Downgrade was not successful... after some hour the same sh*t.

Indeed, the problem has something to do with WiFi.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hybris03:
After mofidifying wifi setting on "never", battery drain seems to be normal.

I confirm that tomorow after a full day of use.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] grieves13:
Unfortunately i have the same problem, and tried this suggestion, for some hours it was fine, but then the wifi got stuck again, i am not able to turn it off, and it cannot see any network nor to connect to any... :(
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hybris03:
Have you tried to do a full reset (cache + data) and downgade firmware in b402 (for me problem is present since the firmware b403)?

I am currently at work and i don't have wifi, but since I changed the wifi setting I have no problem. I come back home this morning.

I'll keep you informed in the evening.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] supersakis:
There is a post on Reddit for a similar problem a Honor 8 user is having, and there is the quoted response from Honor/Huawei technical support:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mattyboyo:
I was having this issue, I turned off Avast cloud scanning and it hasn't happened since. Phone is on L09C432B394, August security patch.

Same problem here l19c b404

Huge battery drain since one or two weeks ago, alos freezing.

Need 2 restart to solve it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] yaslaw:
I can confirm the same strange behavior on my l09 after last update. It's first time I have problem with this phone
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hybris03:
I have no problem since I changed the wifi settings.

The battery is empty normally and i don't have any freezes.

I will keep you informed in the coming days.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rjt378:
Switching Wifi to always on from only charging also fixed my mother's phone. Not much of a difference in battery drain with it always on so no loss. Bizzare that is just started out of nowhere.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skubko:
Hi guys,

thank you everyone for your inputs, I am glad I posted this thread to find out it is a common issue for us /Honor owners/ these days :mad:... I also believe it is WiFi connected. During last weekend I did not have much time troubleshooting this, but I kept Wi-Fi OFF during the whole weekend and I did not have any problem with it. Today morning, Wi-Fi is ON again and the issue is back again.... I will try the suggestions you posted above - until today I was running mine with "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" set to "Never". I changed it now to "Always", we will see how it goes...

skubko
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blackherted:
I also have the same problem.. good to know I'm not the only one... would try the wifi thingie and see if that helps.. after it I guess wiping chace and then downgrading if that doesn't help either... thanks for the help guys
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] aedel:
Does it mean that the latest security update to our firmware is causing this wifi issue? mine is April 2018 security update B395
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skubko:
Not really, in my opinion it has nothing to do with the firmware version. As I wrote above, I have security patch level from August 2017 (Build FRD-L09C432B394), so my last Honor FW upgrade was a really long time ago. So for me, this issue started last week out of nothing...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] trol_sg:
What changed last week is the update of google play services: v12.6.73

This update is causing problems in houndreds of Huawei/Honor units. Please, complain to google which release untested updates or tested only for pixel phones or so... This is unnaceptable, we should claim to them. A lot of people will send phones to warranty, phones back to stores, and buy new ones thinking the phone is old or defective....

As far as I know from family and friends A LOT of phones from Huawei/Honor affected. Here's a quick list:

Honor 8: Many stucks, wifi fails and battery drain (more than 1 units).

Huawei p7: CPU at 100% no sleep, wifi failing and also stucks needing reboot.

Honor 5c: weird behaviours, stucks.

Honor 5x: stucks needing forced reboot.

Honor 7: stucks.

Huawei p8: the same.

In phones with pure android (jiayu s3 custom rom, meizu m2 mini custom rom, xiaomi redmi 1 custom rom) no problems.

In one unit of huawei p9 and honor 6 plus (rooted, custom rom) no problems either.

It has to be something related to google play services and EMUI for sure, but how to fix this....? I've removed the g account and deleted cache, also tried to get back to an older version of services but the phone won't allow to downgrade play services....

One friend told me phone back to normal randomly, he's now ok with it just activating the airplane mode and also the data saver plan.

Sucks....
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skubko:
As I mentioned in my original post, Google play services /GPS/ are my guess as well. Currently, I am running the latest (12.6.73) version, according to Google Play store, it was updated on 26.4., but apparently for me it was updated last week on Wednesday (when the issues occured). Also, my colleague has issues with many applications that use Google maps (integrated into the application). When he downgraded GPS, all apps started to work correctly, but only until GPS forced its update and made it again not working... :crying:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] trol_sg:
I think that the affection to many different models (some of them not receiving OTAs since many months) confirm it's nothing related to Huawei/Huawei updates.

This had happened in the past in every major update of android version such as from L to M, M to N, or N to O, but never like that. My guess is that they are incluiding to the services some features of the O to P step and this is ****ing the enviroment at all.

That's unaceptable. **** them.....
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skubko:
Yeap, totally agreed... and yes, my Honor was updated last time in October or when, so definitely not their issue....
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skubko:
Hi everyone,

I tried to summarize these issues we are having and created a bug-report for Google. I know they will probably ignore that like usually, but I would like to ask ALL OF YOU to "star" the issue report, so there is a better chance to get their attention...

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/79665217

Thanks.

skubko
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] trol_sg:
That's a great idea.

Update list of problems.

Huawei p9 is also affected: wifi randomly missbehaviour (cannot connect to known networks, it dissappear or stuck).

Xda users also reported this problem as well as my gf just confirmed it.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skubko:
Feel free to update it with everything that comes to your mind... Hopefully by having more discussions there, it will increase the chance of getting noticed... :confused:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gikoz:
Had the same issues. Changed . In power settings , changed in "Keep WI-FI on when sleeping from "While charging" to "Always" and no problems any more! Of course I have reduced the battery time, but I prefer to have a working device.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayush rao:
Clearing google play services cache seems to have solved my battery drain issues.

It is not only Honor users. Users around the world are having difficulty using Google maps based apps like Uber, Ola, WhatsApp location sharing etc. This play services update was bugged and shouldn't have been pushed to devices. I'm pretty sure Google will sort this out in the coming days as the number of 1 star reviews on the playstore for play services has skyrocketed in the last 2-3 days.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skubko:
Well, I am aware about the issue with google maps in 3rd party apps, I just did not mention it here, because it might not be connected to this issue... For me, I did not find any issue with google maps (but apart from GMaps I have only Locus that uses GMaps internally and that one is working fine). So for me, the issue here is really "only" with unresponsiveness of the device after some time that makes my phone not-usable. If I had only issue with Gmaps in some applications, it would not be such crucial thing for me. But like this, I am not able to use my phone at all :crying:... Anyway, today, I am testing the option to set Wi-Fi to "Always" on, so far it looks promising, will see later...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] trol_sg:
It only helps temporarly will not fix the issue at all. Tested on some devices, the problem will show up again after some hours.

Well, its not only EMUI users who face the problems with google play services, ofc, but in our case, the effects are VERY VERY VERY NEGATIVE. From stucks to random reboots and also, some devices cant go to sleep draining batteries very quick and damaging hardware by the way...

That's incredible.

Please all of you share the bugreport to let people know this issue is caused by google and push them to update ASAP.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pirx73:
I can also add that GPS is going crazy on my Honor 8. While i drive using Waze it shows my car driving parallel to the road, wrong directions, car locator jumping arround.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] trol_sg:
Confirmed, the issue is not related to wifi. Some phones with different settings under wifi policies have the same behaviour. The problem might be solved with a minor update that I've just received when I opened play store connected to WiFi. The phone is now getting fast and responsive, it seems.

Please comment if you receive some improvements.

Regards

Update: nothing fixed yet, after writing this, had to reboot my honor 6 plus again because of a incredible lag while typing.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skubko:
Guys, it indeed seems that Wi-Fi setting (Keep Wi-Fi Always ON) helped in my case. I no longer have huge battery drain, lagging and unresponsiveness disappearead as well. Apart from this setting I did not do anything else, I want to change this setting back (to "Never"), but I will give it some time with my current setting...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] trol_sg:
It seems to help in the honor 8 model if so, but not in other models, I've tested that yesterday.

Problems are still there, but glad that at least you can use your honor 8 phones...

Anyway Google is not giving a fix yet...that sucks
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i2000s:
Google didn't give a fix maybe because everyone in the issue tracker complains about Huawei/Honor, not Google: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/79665217

We should say something there?

I have successfully rolled back to B360 EMUI 5.0 with my L04 Honor 8 phone. So far it works fine, but I haven't tested long enough to see how the Google Play plays a role yet. I have also reported this issue to a CSR of Honor@USA. Let's keep things up to date.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] trol_sg:
Sorry but no, people is reporting in which models they find problems with Play Services update, but obviously this is depending on Google, and the complain is focused on that obviously. I've also contacted Honor at Europe to let them know. They answered they are working on that....
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] trol_sg:
GUYS, to scale up the problem, you've to click on the left star and highlight it in yellow color!!!! It's not enough to comment on the bugtracker!!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] trol_sg:
Google staff...They have just seen our claims! They have assigned a developer. They need a bugreport, please, attach all the bugreports you can ASAP.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i2000s:
I am doing other tests and don't have a valid phone to reproduce this issue right for now. But I think this may be a little hard to capture in a bug report unless the phone freezes at some moment, when it may be hard to generate such a report file.

I have posted this issue to a Chinese forum, more models may have been experiencing this issue, including Honor 6 (EMUI3.1_H60-L12_6.2.1) and maybe some Sony, Smartisan M1 and HTC phones. One person also thought his Pixel@AndroidP might have also been affected, which has the Location icon always On since yesterday... Ref (in Chinese): https://www.v2ex.com/t/455361

I cannot judge if they are related, but feel free to mention these in the issue tracker! Thank you!

Update: the HTC phone was on Android 6.0.1, HTC d820u with Google Play Services 12.5.29. Maybe a different cause?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] trol_sg:
I've done a bugreport for them while phone was stuck, cpu not sleeping screen off for a long period....lets see if they answer where to send...

I don't see anyway to disable it.:confused:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] i2000s:
Reporting back from my rollback test:

After 15.5 hours of idle test on B360 EMUI 5.0 with my L04 Honor 8 phone, I have the following battery drain curve: https://imgur.com/gallery/5xqrF9l

I have enabled data saving and battery saving modes in the middle where you see the turning in the battery consuming curve. Initially, I have also disabled the animations as I did for my previous settings. The battery drain in the idle mode seems being improved by rolling back to B360. Google play service is the same as the problematic version reported. I have disabled auto-update for Google play apps. I will continue for the test.
