Honor 8 new and updated to b360 problems - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hello all,
I bought today the Honor 8, after the setup i did the update to nougat.
But the main problem atm i have is that the notification led dont work if i get a text message from whatsapp or from other 3d party apps.
I make it work with the app Light manager, but i guess it must work straight out the box right? is it a bug or some setting that i miss?
Also i miss already smartlock on the phone, i there a alternative for it when u are at home that the phone automatic unlocks?
I have now a little regret that I have not bought a phone with a fingerprint on the front side like the Lenevo P2, because it is very annoying when the phone is on the table and u need to type pincode or the password.
I had expect that Honor got smartlock since it is a default android feature.

Led should work,mine works from the first boot

[Q] Lost features in 23.3.24 ?

Hi,
I just updated my Droud Ultra and it looks like there are missing two features:
1. in the 21.xxx sw if I approached with my hand the proximity sensor the phone shows the time/missed events. Now if I want to see the clock I have to move / to jog the phone it is not enough to go close with my palm to proximity sensor
2. in the 21.xxxx when the phone was charging a stripe/band was going up and down -- now it is missing, too (
How could I enable this features or they are turned off ?
For the first one. Yes, waving the hand over the phone no longer wakes it up. According to one of the moderators on the Moto support forum, the ability to display notifications with a wave of the hand was a bug that Moto fixed. I know..... So there is no way to reactivate it 23.3.24. Sorry.

Also stock messaging app no longer allows you to open the address book and multi select recipients. Hangouts is the same.
I could slap whomever decided to do this!
Touchless controls actually goes to speakerphone now when making a call if you have the setting checked, it was broken in the last update and wouldn't actually go to speakerphone even though it was checked but worked before that one. I'm so glad it works now.

[Q] customis the smart cover lock screen

Hi all,
I am using smart cover for my mate 7, my question is how can I customis or edit the smart cover lock screen to add for example extra page or open, dial, send SMS, open the open the call log or change the background!
Thanks
I had same question , tried many times but couldnt change smart cover picture . also i am unable to find smart lock ? having problem connecting bluetooth to my win 10 vaio, it is connected but i cant send data from phone to pc ! it fails . but i can receive from pc to phone.
Same problem for me with Lollipop on me MT7-LT10
I have upgrade my phone (in local) with the official B324 and i can't change the smartcover background, even when i try to change it by the theme menu, its always the picture with a bridge.
@ sabkt : the smart lock is for me in the "locksreen" menu in "other" section
One more here how we can change this ????
Same. I am done with Huawei. First they take years to update, we'll probably never even see Android 6. Their build quality equals total ****. I have had a replaced display by service center 2 TIMES NOW for screen bleed of whites and other lighter colors (in the middle of the screen, random places, etc. And then they manage to screw up one of the things they got right. The old clock and music player were amazing.
Same problem ... no solution???
Same problem here, and the impossibility to change the background it's very annoying
Whilst I wish I could change the picture, I don't miss music from the lock screen. I use PlayerPro and the built-in Music would override it on the lock screen plus it was forever randomly starting (Presumably I was catching the lock screen accidentally).
I having the Same problem too. After the update, I only can see miss call and message notification. I not able to see other than that to notification. Does anyone know how to configure this?
Same problems with me.
Is there some third party app which can to change default bridge picture theme on lolipop?
Also annoyed by this new lock. Want to at least be able to change wallpaper there.

This seems to be a general problem for Huawei/Honor phones.
I can not adjust anything on my Huawei G8 smart cover screen either. It's not the background picture that annoyes me, but that no notifications are display (except that the phone is ringing). Luckily I can switch off the smart cover screen. This way I can see the notification bar at least. Since I have enabled to show the notifications with a swipe over the fingerprint sensor I can view the top most notifications w/o opening the cover.

Hi all,
Try the EMUI Theme Editor app on google play - i havent used it myself for the SmartCover, but it has got an option to change Smart Cover background. Has alot of other useful tools to change EMUI.

I just Installed android 10 May Update (52.1.A.2.1)

So, what the title says, I just downloaded it from xpirifirm and Installed it using flashtool, am hoping to fix the problem with voice messages from WhatsApp and messenger as well (basically 1 in 10 voice messages I send go silent in the middle of the recording), there is not a changelog from Sony but they never give any so I hope this could be more than just a security patch, I want to know if any of you have installed it and if you have noticed any fix, thanks, If I find out something I will tell you. Thanks for reading.
Well, sadly I couldn't fix the issue with the voice notes, but I disabled the "ok Google" feature from the Google assistant and I haven't had any problem with voicenotes anymore, let's see if it stays like that.
It didnt solved the problem, I plan to go back to android 9
Does not feel any fix, but so frustrating 'couse battery capability is much much worse...
I think the fingerprint at least is faster and more reliable.

I fixed the voice messages disabling the feedback tactile of 3 under screen buttons
Did the upgrade change your GPS functionality? Since the day I updated, my phone started drifting. I have 25 kilometers displacement on a day staying permanently at my home office. Compared to 0.5 kilometers before the update.
I didn't understand how you fixed the voice messages, can you be more specific?
Hey guys, it's July 9th and the last firmware released for xperia xz2 is 52.1.A.2.1, will Sony stop supporting this device or what? Btw my cellphone has now a ghost touch.

Same for me! Just about a week or so, I am annoyed by the quick settings bar being occasionally pulled from top while typing on the keyboard or working in apps. With the "Show taps" option turned on from the developer settings, I can clearly see that the device sometimes detects an extra tap (draws the corresponding circle) at the very top of the screen right after I tap somewhere else. This activates the system bar and switches the focus from the app. This only happened before with the screen very dirty or wet (i.e. in the rain). However, this time cleaning it and rebooting the system didn't help. My initial idea was that I could have damaged the screen sensors or other hardware somehow. But this might be instead a planned action to support the upcoming models' sales Interestingly, there was no software update accompanying the behaviour change — seems like there are some remotely controlled sensor options their engineers could be playing around.

Thanks for sharing your experience, well I still have the ghost touch but now occurs more often and I have had another issue since some months ago ad well and tje thing is that sometimes the proximity sensor "detects" it's being covered and makes the screen flash several times during a call or hearing voice notes in whatsap, sometimes the failure is as bad that I have to restart the phone, I don't know what could be causing this problem but I have to say that I have dropped some water in my cellphone in the past two or three times, and I don't know, maybe some of this water came into the phone through the earpiece and messed with the upper part of the screen and the other sensor up there, my phone os almost a year old now, Do you guys think it might mot be water resistant anymore? And btw, have you dropped water in the phone as well? Thanks for reading.

Screen wake up problem

Hi guys . My phone is like 3 weeks old I bought it from Ali express is 64gb version .the software is 12.0.2 stable global . I am using the SIM 2 and a micro SD in slot 1 . All working find and dandy but I got a major problem with this phone, I don't know if is hardware related or software that's why i am typing this here .
Symptoms
If I leave the phone on the table the screen wake up like 3 times in 5 minutes with no notification. Is looking for my face to unlock it . :silly:
I tried to factory reset it . Update it .restore it from cloud , set up as new , remove the micro SD , uninstall apps .nothing worked
I need an apk or an app to identify what trigger the wake up thing . Or what is running in the background or what is trying to do
Please help
I also find this online I don't know if is related but sound the same like my problem: confused:
https://amp.reddit.com/r/PocoPhones/comments/aw484t/screen_wake_up_with_no_receiving_notification/
Solve it . It was a bug . It's a big in miui 12 if you mute an app to don't receive notifications anymore the screen it will wake but won't show any notification.
Just to let you know if you have the same problem like me
It hasn't been fixed, right?
Mine POCO X3 is still waking up by itself.
I muted the notifications from one app.

Question AOD doesnt work

Hi anyone having issue with AOD doesnt appear right after i turn it on ? My AOD only appear sometimes. Most of the time my AOD doesnt work like my any other devices previously
The same for me. I need to touch fingerprint sensor with another finger to activate AOD.
İt is a stupid function. When enviroment is dark it turn it self off. i told it to xiaomi, they said it will be fixed in next update. I also told them the fingerprint icon which also disappers after couple seconds. they will fix it too. Stupid to have very fast fingerprint reader but hide it. then you never unlock the screen at first try
oh I was on the european ROM and could not find the option to have my AOD always on ...
... but I found it in the xiaomi.eu ROM ... I am glad I can now read the time again in the dark when I put my xiaomi 13 on my wireless charger ...
