Issues with Google cardboard? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

I just bought a Google cardboard vr headset and the honor 8 doesn't seem to work with it. It happens in the YouTube 360 videos too, when you try to set it to cardboard.
Does anyone else have this problem? I'm on the nougat beta, 320.
Thanks!

What kind of problem to you have ? I have the xiaomi vr headset and I can watch 360 YT videos without any problem.

You had the same issue on MM?!

I went to the nougat beta right when i got the phone so didn't check it on marshmallow.
The two video screens keep on jittering/shaking very fast like the calibration for gyroscope is off.
Thanks for the help! So it's either my phone or an issue with the beta update then!

It's probably a problem with the Nougat Beta, as it's not a fully working model. I'd recommend reverting back to Marshmallow and your device should work with Google Cardboard again.

Probably, just wait for an OTA and retry

I have the same problem but, not in beta, on Nougat.
Like this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/honor-8-emui-5-android-7-0-gyroscope-t3562562
Other in this case ?

I'm still having this same problem on official nougat after a factory reset. Didn't have it on marshmallow.
I think some P9 owners are having the same issue.

Same issues here..

Never had an issue. Just used a generic VR headset.

Yes there is is problem with some of the phones. They seem to have got crappy circuts. Almost no VR app is working with my phone, and when you call support, they say we cannot take responsibility for one app. That is Google cardboard. And all of the thousands of apps that are in the. This is not a great support, in fact no support at all. My next phone will be a Samsung, they all work with cardboard. This one does not.

The problem persists for many people, also for me. Proof below.

I am on B394 right now, but nothing changed.
Well, i wrote a post to be sure if the gyroscope works or not and i am as confused as before. XD
i'll wait for some other guys to write here.

Gyroscope has been broken for me ever since the first nougat update.
Not too sure if they're ever going to fix it.
I'm so sad about this becouse now i don't know what smarthphone buy.
I will never buy Honor8 becouse the gyroscope don't work and it seems that they will not fix it...
I have p10lite and i will change that phone becouse the screen ghosting is such horrible that i have to do it.
I have 300$, what phone can i buy? that have a gyroscope that working (so rare..) and at lease 3-4 gb of ram..any ideas?
I haven't had any trouble with mine.
this is so strange really..
I had problems that accelerometer was freezing after couple minutes after reatart and I have realized that if I leave installed "Huawei Health" app, accelerometer seems to work without problems.
I've had no problems on 2 phones running Nougat.

Snapchat

Hello
Is there no one who can optimize Snapchat for our Honor 8? The H8 has a great camera and it's sad to see Snapchat not getting everything out of it. Is there any developer here who can do something about it? I know my best option would be contacting Snapchat but I doubt they will do something about it.
Wrong section. Post your question in Q&A. Thanks.

According to Snapchat their app has issues on the Android platform itself. Snapchat is planning to rewrite the Android app for the platform. This is what happens when you're not OS agnostic.
Currently, I doubt anything can be done about it since Snapchat is a closed source app. Unless, of course, some of the Jedi hackers on XDA are able to optimize it with the power of The Force.

Snapchat is rubbish anyway.
The thing is on Android because of the different kinds of hardware snapchat uses this bizzare way of optimising per device. It limits the resolution of the video or photo taken to the resolution of the screen. So for instance even if I had a high end phone with the best camera but with a 720 or 1080p display and my friend has a mid range phone with a 1440p display he'll definitely have great quality. The Honor 8 usually takes photos at a much higher resolution and snapchat just doesn't let it do so.
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
Some Samsung are making good photos even with Snapchat on zoom per example but with my Honor 8 if I zoom something it sucks
I don't use SnapChat, but everything I've heard about it indicates the programmers of the Android version were lazy and just take screenshots while the camera is on instead of actually using the camera to take the picture. That's why the resolution sucks and you get such poor quality when you zoom in. It is not a full resolution picture.
However, the weird spinning issue you have is likely due to the Honor 8's jacked up gyroscope. We can't use VR apps because of it. It seems to affect 100% of Honor 8's yet no update is coming to fix it. Not a high enough priority, I guess.
I read that Snapchat is going to rewrite the app from scratch on Android is this true? And when it will come out?

Yeah the app is pretty poorly developt for such a big company. But the 3D figures work perfectly on the honor 9 of my friend so i think it might have something to do with the messed up gyroscope of the honor 8. I hope honor will fix this in Android oreo but i dont expect it to happen. Sadly.

Android P DP1 doesn't work with Huawei Health and Huawei Wear

Just an FYI Huawei Health and Huawei Wear haven't been updated to work with the first developer preview of Android P. Both apps keep crashing. If anything changes I'll advise here.
I have been struggling with the same issue, is there any other application that can sync the data from watch to phone, like sleeping analysis ?
That's a bummer, I don't plan to run the DP until Google I/O so hopefully huawei addresses this fast. Hope you sent a bug report ?

Nope. No huawei health data can sync without the phone apps. You'd be better off using google fit for steps, and sleep as android for sleep.

Typically when an app crashes it will have a little pop-up to send feedback. I almost always just hit cancel, it's become second nature. Other than that I'm not sure how else to send a bug report to them...maybe on the huawei health play store page?

Thanks! I always thought that went to Google but makes sense it would go to the developers. I have done this now. I really don't expect much movement on this for a while. Considering rolling back to Oreo.

Just be careful rolling back, think I read somewhere that you can't recert to a previous version anymore with pixels. I think it's because of security reasons, so they only allow you to update....I could very well be wrong, but check it out before flashing anything

Thanks Gators. I found a good article about downgrading. But I decided to stay with Android P for now. I have survived without Huawei Fit and Huawei Wear. Google Fit seems to be holding up alright
Good news. Today Huawei health was updated and no longer crashes.
However Huawei wear has not been updated yet and seems to get less updates. Last one was February. Hopefully they do an update soon.

The main Huawei phone app doesn't work for me on DP2. It doesn't crash like before but it does crash as soon as you try and pair the app on the phone with the watch.

Health data from the watch doesn't sync with the phone if the Huawei Wear app isn't installed on the watch unfortunately.
I wonder why it takes them so long to fix it.
Guys finally it works with Huawei health beta app!! You can add the watch from the health app, no need for Huawei wear app anymore.
EDIT: just search for "Huawei Health 8.0.2.317-wearBeta.apk" you should be able to download the apk and install it normally

Request to any P40 owner

There was an option in camera app on my previous Samsung Galaxy S8+, and it appears it's an option with Huawei's Mate 20 series, that allows the camera to only record slow-mo video when motion is detected.
However, this 'only record when motion detected' slow-mo option is missing on my P30 Pro.
Can anyone with a P40-series phone let me know if Huawei put it back in?
EDIT: Never mind. Turns out the option appears when you select 960 fps. Here's what I captured:
Yes its back..

Thank you, very much.
How frustrating.
Could you possibly do me a favor and let me know the version of the camera app you have?
That way, I can try to find an APK to sideload.

I'm in the UK with p40pro so must be global. Just do a system software update to 10.1.0.114

Not sure if I'm finding the correct setting. But on my p40pro the option to record slow ow on on motion dection works on all fps options but you have to set the area where it my detect motion.

Off the topic query but how are you finding the p40pro till now in terms of camera and the software experience? ..i have ordered one here in UK and will probably get it in a couple of days

First off it it's a beautiful device and feels great in the hand. It's one of those devices that you find satisfying to touch.
The camera is excellent exactly how I expected it to be after owning a mate 20 Pro a last year, and that device ruined my experience of owning a note 10 plus as the camera on the note just couldn't compare.
Software is good although EMUI is one of my favourite android skins anyway. I find it pretty easy to live without gms as I don't really do social media or anything.
It is easy to put gms on this device although I took it off just to run a stock phone as stock. Due to the fact the only things I wanted from gms (Google pay and music) won't work anyway.
Main gripe with this phone is no gpay or banking apps. Hopefully Huawei can sort this soon. Oh and no stereo speaker or dolby atmos.
Now I need to decide whether to switch from my note 10 plus to this or not?

Thanks a lot..i had the note 10plus and i agree its a beautiful device though camera might be a level below p40pro. So its a tough decision.
I hv a iphone11 pro max and will probably use p40pro as a secondary phone mainly due to its camera

Yeah the note Is a good phone but Samsung ruined the note with a software update that made the camera blurry and the Bluetooth streaming skip on music play back. And seems as though I take 100+ inspection photos daily for work it's very annoying.
I just can't get on with Samsung ui either it's too much.
The thought of not being fully tracked by Google is quite refreshing as well.
It is weird how nice this phone feels... I find even if I'm not using it I just rotate it in the hand whilst watching TV odd.

Delay when pressing notifications

Hello guys, I recently got my new Oneplus 8T, and, whilst the device is amazing from what I could use it, it has an annoying flaw that I couldn´t find any information of.
When I press a whatsapp, telegram, etc notification, there´s a bit of delay inbetween the press and the start of the app opening. The phone does it the majority of times, as you can see in the video below (at the 10 second mark it opens it right):
Do you have an idea on what could be causing this? Does any of you have the same issue I do? I tried turning off everything related to battery saving, even factory reseting. Any help is much appreciated, thank you in advance!

I've come across some people with this specific flaw, I contacted Oneplus and they told me to factory reset the phone and if that didn't help (which did not, since I've gone wayy further with it, installing HydrogenOS and older versions of OxygenOS and didn't solve the issue), it "might" be a software issue and it "might" be solved in the next software update.
For how much have you been with the phone?
What is bugging me is that this problem is too specific for it to be a hardware issue.

Yes, I still have my Oneplus 7 Pro and it works flawlessly. I think I found something crucial.
The problem lays whitin the "Notifications" apartment. I'll explain myself.
As you can see in this new video I recorded
that weird delay shows when I open a notification coming from the tab "Notifications". BUT, when I open the SAME APP (Play Store) from a notification coming from "Other notifications" there's no delay at all, the phone works flawlessly, see how I press to see how my download is going, there's no lag. It would be wonderful if you could try it yourself, and see if that's the case on you unit too.
Taking this into account, I'm almost 100% sure this is a software related problem, and has nothing to do with hardware, probably a bug.
I'll report it to the bug reporting section of Oneplus and see if they can work on it.

No, I coulnd't. But I confirmed it to be a software related problem. I flashed LineageOS and PixelExperience ROM and the phone worked flawlessly. So we might have to wait for Oneplus to fix the problem in next OTA.

Yes, I was really satisfied with these ROMS performance, the only downside was getting Widevine security level down to L3, so i can't watch netflix on the phone anymore... Kinda sad we have to do this in order for the phone to work correctly.

Oh, I might try that one, thank you man! Just updated to the newest OTA that was released today, and didn't fix the issue whatsoever... This is pretty sad.

The latest OTA kinda did something for me. I get the delay 5 out of 10 times I press a notification. Used to be 9 out of 10 times lol. It's not completely fixed but it's an improvement. What I did was send a bug report to the Oneplus bug reporting site and they said that they will be working on it.
