    Post Would you recommend this phone ?

    I agree, GPU has never proven to be an issue for me either. I don't play too many games though. Love this phone really, battery life, stability, design are all perfect. I don't even mind EMUI that much

    Post pure android for honor8

    I'm really surprised by EMUI, I thought I'd be flashing new software immediately, but it really grows on you. I know this is blasphemy, but I don't even need an app drawer!

    Post [Guide downgrade from Nougat Beta]

    Hi I'm curious as to how you found the specific software for your region? And also, is there any issue with flashing one not from the right region? Thanks

    Post Minimum brightness

    Auto brightness is quite poor to be honest. I know it's meant to be improved in a future update though

    Post Clarity/resolution

    Never had an issue with the display. Isn't the most colour accurate panel I've seen, but still have a lovely appearance in my eyes

    Post Speakerphone (loudness, clarity)

    Loud enough for me personally. I still haven't received B131 so I know that's went to improve quality, but it's no replacement for front firing speakers. Basically, I'd advise you use proper speakers!

    Post Call quality

    Works well, I've never had any trouble walking on speaker phone, I can both hear the person and they can hear me. So I have no complaints!

    I don't mind waiting, as long as the update is bug free I'll be happy!

    Loving the new apps I have to say, if it's consistent across the ROM, sign me up!

    Post Adoptable Storage on Honor 4c

    I definitely would not advise messing with adb unless you know what you're doing. Maybe if you changed the default save location to the SD card, and transferred all media across?

    Post Phone crackling and hissing after root

    Root definitely shouldn't have caused this! Are you sure the phone wasn't physically damaged in some way during the week?

    Post (CERTAIN) No 7.x Nougat for Honor 5X in the future

    Nougat is definitely a huge improvement anyway, and with EMUI 5 it's become a lot better as well. The notification shade, app drawer etc. All features fans having being crying out for!

    ...You will be able to find plenty of screen protectors online that fit, don't worry. Always buy one designed for your phone...

    I purchased the official flip case from VMALL, it said they had 10+ in stock. I check the status of my order. It tells my it's ordered on request...Really am not impressed with that!

    Post HELP ME... HONOR 8 Chinese

    Unfortunately Honor decided to release so many variants, let's hope in the future they can cut it down a bit, might make software support easier as well!

    Post Camera issue

    Is this a problem with a mark on the lense either? That could cause your photos to blur if there is a tiny piece on it?

    Post Screen sensitivity when in charge

    It could be the case, but I'd definitely see does it work on a surge protected socket, ensuring the supply is constant.

    Post Would you recommend Honor 8 for a power-user wanting a good dev scene?

    Here's hoping for an active seen in the future. To be perfectly honest, can't see myself touching the software until the two years of support is up, as I am surprised by how much this phone excels at most things!

    Can confirm, absolutely love this phone for photography. In fact I love this phone hands down, hope you enjoy it was much as I do!

    Post Hidden service menu+ does network signal guru work?

    No Huawei don't have anything like that, your only options in mobile networks is automatic and then manual, but no specific preferences for avoiding LTE or anything, as seen in Nexus devices. Sorry to disappoint!

    Post EMUI 5 Beta

    Honor 5X should receive it, it's covered by the 2 year promise Honor made at the start of the Honor 8 campaign. Let's hope they HONOR it... I'll see myself out ;)

    Xposed on EMUI seems to constantly cause some issues, bugs. Please only install if you know how to fix something if it breaks!

    Definitely an issue with the launcher, I've never had an issue with Action Launcher 3 if you don't want to use the stock launcher?

    Post Is there any way to set eye protection time interval?

    Cannot wait for this in EMUI 5.0 then, as I had a Nexus before this, and was so disappointed when Google kept removing it from the Beta software. Genuinely a must have feature for me, when I'm procrastinating in bed :)

    Post Internal Storage Encryption

    Ever since android 6.0, Google has made it compulsory for OEM's on official ROMs to encrypt the phone providing it has the hardware capable to do so. They tried to do this for lollipop, but because of performance issues, it was never implemented. This only applies to new phones though, so any...

    Could you try set up a ifttt script or something? I've never done it personally, but I've seen others use it for problems, so maybe?

    Post Huawei Honor 8 reception problem/advice needed.

    Not a tower issue, so much as the frequency from the tower. I'd imagine the easiest thing to do is to sell it unfortunately, having lived with a USA model in Europe on a previous phone, nothing is more frustrating than watching your phone slowly crawl in comparison to your friends

    Post How to disable "Power Usage Firewall"?

    I get warnings all the time with my device unfortunately, I'm talking 2/3 times a day for different apps. I always ignore them, but it seems on my device at least, that as soon as I exit an app and it doesn't close, I get a notification.

    Is it only the netflix app, or is it all apps?

    Post How much expandable storage is there?

    256GB should work, if it's anything like other phones with 128GB limit. As far as I'm aware, manufacturers only normally test and approve up until 128GB, but it will most likely work. On another note, I wish the 64GB version was available in Europe!

    Post Disable lock screen

    You seem to have tried everything. Only thing else I can think of is I know sometimes if apps are allowed draw over others, the phone can block some security settings. Just a suggestion, but if you go into your apps in settings and change it there, maybe it'll work All I can suggest then is a...

    Post Got a Problem, Need Help

    I'd recommend purchasing a set of android earphones, purely so you can use them properly. The sooner Google implements this new standard as compulsory, the better!

    Definitely not a problem on mine either. Maybe if you tried a factory reset like mentioned previously, or ensured you're running the latest version of firmware

    I used my email address, so I don't think it could be that. Maybe if you try and force close the theme app, clear all the data etc. Go to settings > apps > and select the themes app

    Pretty sure it's a bug with the software app, as mine is experiencing it as well. Hopefully can be fixed with a software update.

    Post Fingerpringt unlock quite slow after a while

    It could be got to do with android doze either. If doze is disabling a background process for the SD card reader, every time it's woken up it would need to be started again. Seeing the issue here on my FRD-L09 as well

    Post Multimedia volume is low

    Definitely a software problem if an update caused it. The best thing I can think of is to root and install Viper4Android, see does that make a difference (Only attempt this if you know what you're doing!) Sorry I couldn't be of more help

    Sorry guys, I'm a bit confused, does anyone know how Honor 8 actually knows your location? I've tried to change local settings in the hope of getting the update, but no joy.
