[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] HighOnLinux:
Is your primary focus on photographers when it comes to future phones? I see these cameras more of a trend than a trade-off on your newer devices. It personally would be better to add more flexibility to the devices with ease access to certain (but not limited to) hardware mods, boot loader unlocking being back, making your AI be open-sourced to many developers wanting to create an AI that would have a different purpose (or help enhance the AI to make it more stable and add extra features to the honor device line). Great power comes with great responsibility, so don't leave out the android developers and enthusiasts.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
Multiple questions:

-After Chris put so much work into making the Honor Open Source Project a thing, and after having promised to ship out over 1000 devices to developers, how could you guys possibly decide to go against Chris's efforts and decide to lock down devices? That is really shady, and makes me wonder about the direction of Honor devices.

-Why are requests for important source code for developers so hard to get on Kirin devices when Qualcomm is able to do the same? Again, after having someone as nice as Chris do all of this work for us, it seems unfair to him in my honest opinion.

-Without the support of developers from here on out, how you do plan to market your devices towards a community supposed to be driven by development? It seems more like an ad here at this point that refuses to die off. To endorse you guys after all of this is counteractive to what XDA stands for.

Stop providing bootloader unlock codes.

Hi, I would like to know if the decision to stop providing bootloader unlock codes is defenitive as it would make a future purchase impossible.

Thanks for your time

Hello,

First of all honor 7x is a fantastic phone, superb build quality.

Honor just recently launched in Egypt, what are your impressions of the market here and what are your plans to penetrate it?

[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lisbon2004:
Several questions from someone coming from Samsung devices...

First, i want to say that stopping bootloader unlocking is absolutely unacceptable. After several samsung devices I've decided to try Huawei and have just bought Huawei Mate 10. If i knew Huawei would stop providing unlock codes, i would've NOT done this purchase (as it will result in no community development for Huawei devices). Also, I've paid for this device and as a customer i should decide myself how to use it. Are you going to revert this decision following customer feedback?

Second, why is indicator LED so tiny and small? Why is it not so customizeable (colors, events) like on samsung devices? (this is really easy to imprement).

Third, why there are only 3 font size settings in EMUI, and why they OVERRIDE the DPI setting i manually set in developer options? (when phone is rebooted, EMUI overrides the DPI setting i set and uses its own). As i want more content to fit onto a screen, i'm forced to set this setting again and again after each reboot. Very annoying!

And lastly - why AI is so agressive and not customizeable? I would like to COMPLETELY DISABLE application battery management, but there's no such option. So we HAVE TO configure each application in emui Battery - Launch - (Application name) - Disable. VERY ANNOYING! All options that you implement should be OPTIONAL, not obligatory. Will you implement such a switch please?

The things i've mentioned are annoying many customers on various forums, but can be easily fixed with just a little customization in settings. Is Huawei going to do that? Such lack of customization is not doing any good, it's just annoying customers and doing brand damage.

Does the decision, if enacted, to remove bootloader unlocking, have something to do with acceptance by US authorities?

It's no secret that the US government and intelligence agencies / law enforcement would like phones and communication devices in general to be locked down and not modified by end users. Is removing bootloader unlocking a sop to them? If so, why is this being done worldwide?

Huawei and Honor are dead to me. Rest in peace with LG...
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nanava:
Why is Huawei/Honor stopping the unlock code service. The codes are only released if requested by the phone owner. Typical these users are aware of the risks involved. The mainstream user does not care and will not request such a code.

If Huawei/Honor delivers a premium customer experience these customers will not bother to look at different ROMs. The challenge is not to stop the unlock service but to deliver a premium service to the customers (and in-time updates).

Strange decision.... why ?

[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Are there any plans to improve support for those who need to use their phones in multiple regions?

Honor phones have flagship specs in every regard, except for radio band support -- generally important LTE bands for the Americas regions are missing on European/Asian devices, and important bands for the Europe/Asia regions are missing on the American devices, so it's impossible to choose a model which will work in both regions.

Furthermore, support for VoLTE is extremely limited when compared to Apple or Xiaomi. VoLTE is becoming more and more important, with many carriers planning going VoLTE-only. Sadly, Huawei/Honor devices tend to blacklist out-of-region carriers for VoLTE support. If we compare to Xiaomi, for example, another lower-cost Chinese maker, Xiaomi allows VoLTE to be enabled for pretty much any carrier, worldwide.

Those are the two glaring flaws I see with Honor, and would really like something to be done about it, so that I could purchase and enjoy an Honor device.
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nirnic:
Hi! I really appreciate this opportunity.

My query is not about Honor 10, but about EMUI. I am an Honor 8 user and I'm really happy with my device. But two months ago, I've found an issue related to its customization layer (what affects to the Honor 10 and every Honor and Huawei devices): its default sharing dialog has a strange limitation: it shows up to 60 sharing options/apps. As I have a lot of apps installed, many of them are excluded and not shown, what forces me to copy and paste (so annoying...). I'm having this issue when I want to share links or text (it could happen the same with images, audios or videos if I had so many apps to share this kind of files), and the criteria is not clear: it excludes apps which I use the most, like WhatsApp or Telegram. It is even possible to know what app is the next one to be excluded -or reincluded- if you install -or uninstall- an additional app; the order is always the same, but the criteria is unknown.

So, this is my question: Did you know this issue? Do you think Honor/Huawei could change this limitation? I think this is a very important issue, because it impacts on the user experience.

I've been looking for an instance like this to send my concern, because I've searched on the web and I have found nothing. I've also asked in customer service and they did not know how to respond. So, thank you very much in advance for taking this question into account.

Best regards,

Nirnic

Will Honor or Huawei release an Android One device anytime soon?

Are there any requirements by Google that your company cannot follow in order to release an Android One phone?
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] frank9184:
I know that Honor is a very open and young company. It was powered by the XDA community where you can get the custom rom. However,will you guys support the customer to fix their device? Such as screen replacement , charging port replacement , motherboard replacement. The ROM flashing is open, but the repairing will break the warranty. Is it very wired?
[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Apo11on:
Discrimination against US market

Why Huawei, including Honor, is continuously and systematically discriminating against US market and US consumers? Why have you never, ever released any of your large screen phone/phablet devices (6.6" or larger screen) such as Honor Note 8, 9 or MediaPad/Honor X1,X2 (7" series), etc. in US? And if for whatever reason, you didn't release in US - why didn't you release those devices in other markets with US LTE bands enabled, so that if US consumers can't buy domestic version, at least they would be able to enjoy compatible version of your devices, if they import them from overseas?! Please explain this years long, persistent discrimination against US consumers?

Stock Android

We all know EMUI is good and packs a lot of features that are good but there are a lot of people in the World, who want stock android over it. We would pretty much appreciate if you could provide a stock version of honor flagships (atleast an option to chose if people want to go stock).

Would be an honor to talk about the reasons more if you are interested.

Question about tablet devices

Hi. Two questions from an Indian customer.

1. Why honor is not releasing any new tablet devices? I know the market is low, but still there is a market share which u can carve out. I personally would buy a premium tablet from honor since there are no competitors as of today (only samsung which is highly expensive).

2. If not from honor, why not make huawei mediapad m5 available in India?

AI or RI ?

Hi George Zhao , and also Ren Zhengfei

Hello sir, I am from India & I have a Honor View 10. Bought it just 2weeks ago & I m really loving it. My question to you sir is : -

1. Will the View 10 get same level of support in terms of software & security updates as the Honor 10, both of them having pretty similar specifications?

2. View 10 & Honor 10 have the same NPU & chipset. So will it be possible to provide AI related updates in future?

3. My phone is still on Android 8.0 . Really looking forward for Android 8.1 update WITH EIS FOR CAMERA PLZ SIR. Also would really appreciate if you could drop any news about any plan for Android P

Lastly sir, I would also like to join my voice with other devs for ability to unlock bootloader for future developments. Thank you sir & be happy.

[Honor 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honor_CEO_George:
Hello packiepuro,

Thanks for your attention on Honor. There are some areas that AI technology could be applied in indeed. For instance, AI Accelerated Translation, Smart Gallery, Easy Talk, Semantic Image Segmentation Technology are some functions powered by AI. In addition, the AI technology makes your phone smart enough to learn your usage behaviour so that it allocates resources dynamically to give more CPU and memory to the apps used in order to ensure a smooth experience. But if you understand what we are doing further, you will find out that we are creating a AI ecosystem to enhance customer experience, and the cooperation with Microsoft to develop the AI Accelerated Translation is an example. We are trying to work closely with partners to build the AI ecosystem. Thank you again and have a nice weekend!

Hello IronHydeFeLix,

I'm glad to answer your question, since obviously you noticed how we differentiate us from other brands. Frankly speaking,our customers have different needs and wants and our mission is to enhance your experience so that we provides a wide range of products to satisfy your unique needs. For instance, the Honor View series stands for superior performance, aiming at those youth who are fond of innovative technologies, whereas the Honor N series (like Honor 10) is a fashionable and stylish product targeting those who prefer fashion design. Therefore, what really matters is customers' needs rather than what is important from our perspective.

Cheers mate!

I just don't understand how a brand that supposedly is a XDA Sponsor (Honor in this case), a brand that made incentive programs, beta programs, Dev incentive programs offering flagships to devs (like the View10 that eng.stk has)... And then suddenly shuts everything down, closing the door to the one thing that made you recognized as developer friendly. I mean the citation with bootloader unlock code service.

The only explanation to me, is that you don't want people to mess around with your A.I. stuff, so you lock down everything and that's it... But on the other hand, there's already plenty of users with the latest devices already unlocked so... I don't know. It's confusing to say the least.

These are not only my thoughts! Please explain the situation.

Thank you.

Hello Mr Zhao,

I can imagine that decision about not unlocking bootloader has something to do with future plans regarding the AI features in combination with Honor's / Huaweis's soft- / hardware and, of course, future plans in marketing. I really understand this decision (which not means that I like it).

My question is: what are your plans regarding the partnership with XDA and your open source project?

Will it just end up in a cheap advertisement for you and no developer will have any afford? Will there be any future device which is supported and open by default?

Thank you for any statement about this even it has not directly to do with your Honor 10 (which is a really nice device, by the way).

Regards and have a nice weekend,

I'm not a Honor customer and never will be one but it's interesting that the bootloader question is being so obviously dodged.

I lived in China for several years and wouldn't trust them with a roll of toilet paper.

I'm almost willing to bet there's some political influence involved. Mind you that China is taking over step-by-step since "our" idiot "president" is in charge. I wouldn't be surprised if Honor's "AI" has some shady user-tracking code that they are trying to hide. China always had very long term goals and with Jinping now being president-for live, I wouldn't be shocked if they are building their own little "google (we-know-it-all)" network.

Aside from unlocking the bootloader ( face it, not everyone on XDA cares about custom ROMs or root), what makes your device stand out from LG, HTC, Samsung?

Your chip is not as powerful as Snapdragon's. Your design is not as good as Samsung's or Apple's. Your so-called "AI" can never match the class of Google. Your value for money is not as great as Xiaomi's. The only thing that put you in the competition was the ability to unlock the bootloader and open source program.

Below are some pain points which force Customers to buy other phones in market instead of yours

1. Lack of Update and support. Honor View 10 (India variant) has slow charging bug, Heating issue, Forced killing of Apps. Yet no update to fix these issues last update was with Feb security features.

2. No universal ROM. Now due to this you have Honor View 10 US with EMUI 8.1 but India and EU on 8.0. Why this discrimination. Till now India management does not have idea about 8.1 roll out in India.

3. Too many device launches. Honor launches too many devices with little modifications in specs. So you have too many devices to support and all are ignored as company begins to focus on new ones.

4. False promises. By the time View 10 was launched a dedicated campaign on XDA to back Open Source development. But now Honor has killed Boot locker unlock key process.

5. The customer service is non existent. If you interact with Honor representative or support person all they will say is WAIT and will direct to Facebook page. They do not pass on the information. The same scripted reply for everything.

Hi JosephXDA1,

Our secret weapon is AI technology. Based on machine learning, AI allocates resources dynamically to give more CPU and memory to the apps actually used in order to ensure a smooth experience. Low memory management actively rearranges memory space to reduce fragmentation, and compress memory to save space for more important apps. Further AI engine optimisation based on user behaviour scheduling resources, bring a more durable fast experience. Please keep an eye on our latest technology innovation and I promise you will be surprised. Thanks and have a nice weekend!
