Update - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi , i have a honor 8 and the update should have arrived yet through hicare but it doesnt. I ddont know why but it doesnt , so i tried to upgrade it with firmware finder , who downloaded the latest version of nougat , and when i was installing it it says the firmware was incompatible . My version is frd l09 b131 and i looked to upgrade with charles app but im a noob and i couldnt . Am i doing something wrong ? Sorry for my english

Not everyone gets the update at this time. I'm very disappointed in Huawei. A few days rollout I can understand. Over a week? No.

I agree , i had 2 iphones and when An update rolls out the server became so busy that we cant download anything , but in one day our two we can download . Huawei isnt doing it right , i hope it apeers soon in my phone...

Nougat update
A lot of companies haven't released nougat especially in the US. Motorola promised G4 at end of 2016. Only country who received it was India.. As long as we get in February, I'm fine with that. Let others sort out the bugs.. Lol

Yes and I'm still waiting too. It's very disappointing.

U will get it though guys.
Try not to get caught up in the big I must have the update thing.
There are some changes that you can see from MM -N but most of it is under the skin.
U will get your updates.
Don't take risks with your phone unless you really know what your doing.
It would be such a shame to root your phone etc just to get an update and f-ck up your phones.

Me neither , since it began rolling out i thougt it would las one week tops to upgrade every phone but well.. bad for huawei , one thing they have to improve.
They also promissed us 2 major updates , lets see if we recive android 8 when it arrives ( too soon to know)

If that is the case how come no one have asked Huawei to confirm this?
Ofc we can expect this to never be Ota but from what market has this been released?
Ask the support in that country in that case.
I just hope that this update improve the performance. If not I'll have to change the phone. When the phone gets laggy I'd throw it by the window

Same here it affects my physical and mental health. Every time it becomes laggy my stress and anxiety level goes up.
It has reported about extreme performance improvement over lollipop
All the last weeks since the leak of the beta MM releases, I read so much about trouble, problems, rollback and even more trouble...
Luckily I stayed on LP! So I guess it will still need some time - if they eveb haven't dropped it...
As almost at every company - only the model releases are important and care. Mate 7 is already long time past having dust on it! It's no more important for them on the market-battle...
i contacted huawei arabia official customer support.
and they said, it should be released soon, they are working on it.
so have patience

I do not think they are working on it...
I think when they decide to start working and finish the last 5% of the work
it will go kind of fast, the problem is the project has been put a side because other models are more prioritized obviously.
It is a stupid strategy to leave something 95% done and not finish it, it is a waste of resources it does also upset their customers.
They need to realize... about 8 million people are affect and will suffer mentally and physically because of the lack of software dedication.

i feel equally frustrated as you are,
but don't forget they are giving excellent phones at half price compare to other manufacturers :good:
remember lollipop upgrade it was released almost after a year, this time they started beta test earlier because i believe this will be the last update for this phone and they don't want any bug.
in past i never bought a huawei phone just because lack of updates, this time they looked much promising, as they have released MM for some phones, so don't lose hope.
as they have provided official MM downgrade packages, i doubt final version will be delayed.
It will be like last time. When Android N is released they will release Marshmallow .. So that we can be one version behind always.

Battery dead? Only 2 Hours!

Hi there. When I bought the phone I had the average of 6 hours of display. When I updated to Nougat the average went down to 4 hours and a half. In the last three days I'm doing at least 3 hours. What is happening to my phone?
Damn my honor 8 last about 5 or 6 hours in the nougat update
Try to update to the latest noughat via the FF and dload method
This should help you fix the battery drain
Or try to roll back to MM to see if the battery goes back to normal
That would be my advice
Maybe you should factory restore your honor 8
Now with the factory reset I'm up to the usual 4/ 4 and a half hours, but still far from the 6/7 hours of mm
Send us screen shots of your usage charts so we can help you.
Here it is
Actually I'm at 3h with 26% left
I noticed that the battery drop while using the phone is the same as on MM, but in stand by it goes down really fast.
You should try update your phone to the latest noughat

The B381 has the best battery life of all noughat versions
So yes, I do say
If you dont like it on noughat and dont want to update live with it
Or roll back to MM
If the update comes I will gladly install it, but I'm still waiting. Atm I did a calibration and farmer a day with 3 h of display I'm at the 27%
Best battery life you can get on MM.
But I recommend you to turn off Searching for Wifi and BT. You can do it long tap on GPS location, in the right corner 3 dots -> Search settings (or something like that) and turn off Search for Wifi and BT. I also disabled Link+ and Wi+Fi+.

There will be an update soon
But I think for manuall install first
Couse since yesterday FF is showing
new update B387 for the L09
And what update will be for your model I dont know
But there will be an update soon as it looks like
And one contact person from Huawei said also that there will be somethings happening regarding the xda - huawei partnership till end of May or early June
So definatly some things going to happen in the next few weeks
I wouldn't type these kind of messages, we can expect that Huawei will release some more updates, but it's not 100% confirmed. Half of users of H8 still doesn't receive update to Android 7... It's quite sad.
I'm just sharing the info I got from svetius
He is the one to be contacted for any questions about Huawei and XDA partnership
So I contacted him last week
And he said that he contacted his Huawei contact wich said to him that some thing are on track to happen end May or early June
So it is an info straight from Huawei given to XDA
So I wanted to share the info
Many of us are waiting for things to happen
Thats why I am typing such info to all of you

He said, contact said... Are you working in Huawei? No. So please stop spreading unofficial "information".
If you need that type of info, well... My crystal ball says to me- no updates for Honor 8 users... [emoji23]
First of all who said that my info is or must be official.. Second.. it is from Huawei to XDA..regarding the partnership..and it is official said ( from Huawei contact person ) to that one responsible in XDA regarding the whole partnership
So I want as many as possible on xda users to know it.. You will not get it on the news or Huawei online page .. you will be getting info this way.. to XDA community from Huawei contact persons .. And the last thing would be.. you say official.. so what does that mean for you.. the complete 100% thing wich will happen? No, evan official is to be taken with a pinch of salt.. aaand your cristal ball is not working correctly.. ?
no offense dude, but this post you wrote is totally piece of ****.
There is thousands users who still doesn't recieve update to Android 7 and you are spreading the info about that Huawei plans something that wouldn't be ever tell?
Please STOP it! It's not official.

In other words stop opening useless threads. Seriously I'm starting to get annoyed and that isn't easy. There are plenty of update, discussion threads. Are you going for a high score or something?
What is exact software version you talking about. I saw yesterday someone got update as 1.27.400.9 and that 400 part in software give hint at region, but I've not got update on my phone and I'm checked couple of time a day but no luck. I'm on 1.13.400.6, I do know that TW(Taiwan version of U11) also got new update and also HK, didn't hear any news about EU U11, like 1.13.401.x ...

Anybody got any update above b190 for L29C567?

Anybody got any update above b190 for L29C567? US version that is. The Intl C432 version got 2 or 3 updates after our May update.
Should we consider rebranding?

There's a beta, B230, out for the US version. That's the latest release, albeit not an officially pushed one.
Probably new version will come soon, I'd think.

Where did you come across it? It is not showing up in FF.
I'm on b190 here as well. I seen the beta listed on the FunkyHuawei site. But I don't want to mess with anything right now lol.
Hoping we'll see Oreo released just after the Mate 10

Me either...I do appreciate those that run the betas, but 190 is VERY stable for me. I've gotten old enough, cranky
enough, and stubborn enough to just run official release versions. At the end of the day when I get home from
work, I don't even pick my phone up, unless someone actually calls me, and even with that, it better be a family
member or I won't touch it. I get enough calls, text, emails on the thing during the day.:cyclops:
Same here...was tempted to rebrand and try some of the custom ROMs but this phone is working so well for me. I also doubt the 230 version has any features that makes it worth it to update. I will wait for Oreo before I mess with it again.

Fair enough

Clocks ticking: March is about to end

Recently Xiaomi promised this to us;
"Xiaomi is aware of the Android 10 update issues in Mi A2 Lite and the launch to users of that device has now been suspended. Our teams are now working to solve the problem and our goal is to implement an update via OTA throughout March. Affected users are recommended to take their devices to authorized Xiaomi service centers for post-sale assistance."
Source
Xiaomi’s Android One smartphone: Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, even after 210 days still waiting for the new Android OS update.
Its been 6 months 27 days since first Android 10 release.
Also Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite didnt get any security update about 74 days.
Any bets?
Xiaomi must release at least security patch, because as per google rules, the security patch on phone must not be older than 90 days on beginning of each month. Also, there are reports that the new Android 10 with march security is already seeding to small amount of users.
Who got it?
We need the download source!
I think the update will not coming on time, 1 day left.
I don't expect to much for now.

That one got deleted by Xiaomeme due to bugs that lead to destroy phone (temporarily). One of them did go directly to local technician because it can't turn on phone anymore due to that update.
