I just purchased new Honor 6x from Amazon in India. I tried watching VR videos today with Aura VR headset. The video was constantly shaking. I did not see such issue with my earlier Honor 6 (no x..). I tried to calibrate the gyroscope using a few apps I could find in the playstore but nothing helped. This is a great phone but gyroscope is really messed up. I tried using Bubble Level and the reading continously fluctuates on a flat surface from 0.2 to 0.6 on both axis.
Is there a way to fix this issue?

Ignore this text ...
Ok. Received the replacement phone and it has the same issue.
After talking to Huawei Tech Support, I did, firmware upgrade (though I had the upgraded version already) and factory reset. Nothing seems to be working and my phone still feels earthquake on a flat stable surface.
Is there any non-rooting way to fix this issue? I am being asked by Huawei to take my one-day-old phone to service center...
Went to Service center. They did software reset but no help. They wanted to keep the phone to do hardware testing and I denied - didn't want to have a one-day-old phone opened and played with. I returned the handset. Issue still exists.
Ur phone is not defective
It is rhe problem with all honor 6x devices and not just urs maybe it will be fixed in updates.. Just to let u know Ur device is not defective sadly gyroscope is like that in all 6x
All the Honor 6x's have the same problem because huawei decided to cheap out and use the accelerometers as a virtual gyro. It sucks but i dont use gyro that much, no big deal for me.

Has anyone got NFC to work?
You have an option of choosing NFC secuity chip by choosing kne of the sim slots
But it does not read any nfc tags

I'll admit I had a time trying to get nfc to work. Just sending a picture to my wife (who also has the Mate 8), was a task. I finally got it to work when we took our cases off.

First i read "clothes" then "cases" ... :laugh:
lol, it just needed a little LUV baby!
have you found the solution? mine also not working and been trying to reset as well... this is a nightmare!
I had my NFC work as mobile payment. It works smoothly.
AL10 reflashed to L29
NFC doesnt work, i try to read card, on oher phone works
kangvip b170
On my AL10 NFC works. I transferred a video I had taken to a friends Samsung phone through NFC and it worked fine. I was running KangVIP B168 at the time but NFC should work on stock as well.

i dont try took case off yet (it is not metal) and very hard do it
Its a very strange but after i took of case ... it works. I put phone back in case and ... work again... In other apps works too... In same app that dont work earlier... Nothing other changes - only on off NFC button, try to send photo via NFC ... May be first launch was hard ? I start thinking thats needed to receive next level in Hogwarts

I tried this with another Mate 8, made the 2 Mate 8 "kiss" close to where the camera is. The other phone recognized a tag which it could not read (My Mate 8). That was L29C185B560. I just updated mine to L29C636B563... I tried to NFC with a Windows Phone. No luck.
Pretty pissed now!
I also have a problem with NFC on my Mate 8.
Current firmware L29C636B563, previous firmware tested on L29C636B321 (and maybe L29C636B330)
First off, I was testing this with an LG Washer / Dryer with the "Tag On" logo. The LG Application could not detect the NFC so I will assume the problem is with the phone? Where exactly is this NFC strip they are talking about? No, even after updating to L29C636B563 Nougat OTA Push Update, my Mate 8 will still not work with LG Tag On.
So, I got curious as to whether or not NFC was working to begin with. I live in Canada. It is a very *backwards* country and NFC applications are few and not mainstream. Apple Pay just got introduced... and Android Pay is not even available for download... so... I never really had any use of NFC at all.
Anyway, I have another Mate 8 (not mine). It recently got an OTA push, L29C185B560. At that time, my Mate 8 was still at L29C636B321.
We tried Android Beam... I guess the instruction was to bring the phone close together (in this case - back to back) and both phones will detect each other... then you can tap content to the other phone...
Well... the L29C185B560 (let's call this C185 for short) made a sound and it picked up a tag, but that tag was empty... ?? My phone, the L29C636B321 (let's call this C636 for short) did not do anything at all... it just stared and stared in outerspace....
I also tried to "Share" and then pick "Huawei Beam" and of course, nothing happened between the 2 phones....
I was suddenly discouraged... eeeks! No NFC? I thought this phone was the *super* phone... time to shop for another phone.
Just last week, my C636 got its first OTA update... uhm... only after downloading Firmware Finder... maybe it did something to the settings to correct it...
So, it got updated to C636B330 first, then 2 days later, C636B563 arrived. Yay... Nougat! What bugs are there?
Just 2 days ago, I tried to Beam with a Samsung Galaxy S4. No luck there...
So just this weekend, I tried Beam again... first, just putting the phone together... no luck.
Then, I thought... uhm... so this time, I put the phones together, back to back and then picked a photo on my phone, "Share" and "Huawei Beam".... surprise, surprise... I heard a tone.... I angled my head and saw that my phone recognized a device and I tapped and I guess the other phone, the C185 didn't need to accept the beam, it was already downloading the photo...
So I tried the LG Tag On again... no luck...
Then. I got home and downloaded apps to read my chip enabled Canadian passport (inside and outside the covers) and my Paypass enabled credit card... No... none of the apps detected anything.
To my understanding NFC will "communicate" once detected. No further action. In the experience with Huawei Beam... it seems that an "action" has to be triggered for NFC to activate? Maybe I am wrong and have been wrong all this time?
So, does "reading" an NFC tag also require an action?
What else is broken?
I found some documentation on Huawei Mate 8 NFC. Maybe someone with more experience will be able to explain this occurrence way better? Give us more insight and get it working?
I just bought 10 NFC Tag stickers on eBay, let's see late on if the phone actually reads it....
Thank you for this. I had sworn my NFC was dead, then I took the extra step you mentioned of trying to send a picture using Beam, and that appears to have woken the NFC chip up. I can't believe it's working fine now.
Cheers!

Actually, never mind. It's dead again. I have no idea what I did to make it work for a short while,
but now it won't read my cards anymore. (sigh)

Repair
Same case but i have found the reason.
The nfc antenna is embedded in to top side of back cover.
It's connected not with flex cable, but with spring contacts
2 screws on bottom
open carefully (fingerprint scanner on cover is connected with flexible cable)
adjust spring contacts
clean contacts and contact pads on cover with alcohol or ...
that's all
now it works
I just purchased new Honor 6x from BestBuy in US . I tried watching VR videos today with Aura VR headset. The video was constantly shaking. I tried to calibrate the gyroscope using a few apps I could find in the playstore but nothing helped. This is a great phone but gyroscope is really messed up. I tried using Bubble Level and the reading continously fluctuates on a flat surface from 0.2 to 0.6 on both axis.any solution ?
Gyroscope on 6x is just a simulation of magnetometer and accelerometer (just red it somewhere on the forum). Maybe thats the reason why its constantly shaking
Everyone has dat proble... Hope they solve in future updates
The gyroscope worked fine for me before the emui 5 update now it's idk what anymore
Hello I have my honor 9 since it launch june 2017.
I use global rom strait from the (aliexpress) store. I use EMUI 8.0.0.368 (C432) my model is STF-L09, Kernel version is 4.4.23)
Slowly i get frustrated from the device and ill explain why (if there are solved problem ill like to hear that)
1. Performance issues - after every update or upgrade it become slower and laggy, and now it reacts even slower than my xiaomi mi4 !
2. Reliability - since now screen got broke (too easy), battery got damaged (bulged) and the rear cover opened, and now camera getting out of focus (well known huawei problem that on youtube you can find temporary solution - hit hard :crying . good point for the phone is that fixing isn't expensive.
3. Camera Video issues - focus was never good (before my recent problem) and stability bad for 2018 phones.
4. Heating too fast - in summer phone get hot and screen become darker so almost cant see anything.
5. Display - till today it can not be automatic brightness cause it getting immediately to minimum light - come on couldn't they fix it till now ? another issue is not bright enough in direct sunlight no matter what other users say, compare it to samsung phones and you understand !
6. Connectivity - Wifi too slow. i test the wifi speed of the phone next to others and next to laptop and it was half speed of the others
7. Smart assistance - Draw never work at my phone, no matter how hard i knock on it
Please if any of the issues solved il like to hear that
Thanks
I never had one of these problems and I am on 8.0.0.368 too.
Well, after a time in full summer sun and full usuage it got a bit hot but i guess that is normal with every phone.
Maybe you should clear all caches, there could be some rubbish left from previous firmwares.

So it should be an asian Phone STF-ALx0 or STF-TL10 rebranded to STF-L09.
If this is the case, this mean you're out of the 1-year chinese guarantee.

You need a new batterry as yours is defective... Your performance problems could come from that.

Yeah, you also need to switch your defective camera, common problem on some honor9 series but not all series...

A. I already replace the battery a month ago so its a new one. i know no warranty anymore (no worry)
B. Can i test light captor or replace it ?
C. regarding Smart assistance any thoughts ?
I've had mine for 3 months now and haven't seen any of those problems . sounds to me like the phones been damaged , probably dropped on a hard surface .
i checked my light sensor and it work fine, the problem must be software !
Try a full factory's settings restore.
factory's settings should go to Chinese version or global rom ?
A factory reset won't rebrand your device.
---------- Post added at 11:21 ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 ----------
I'm seeing you rebranded your device yourself... how did you do it ? Maybe you messed somewhere...

No i didnt do nothing. it come like this from the shop (aliexpress to shop) when i asked them to send it with global rom
Why its not look ok ?
I said you may have rebranded wrong because your old post : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?&p=73073528
But if it was done last year by chinese seller you should be ok.
So when you get your phone you were on nougat C432, since then, you're now on oreo.
Maybe somethings gone wrong during the last year updates. Does your flahlight still working ?
It may be a good thing to test again your problem after
-a reset to factory settings
or better
-a full restore with a dload firmware image via sdcard or usb-otg
I did not do it it come from the shop (aliexpress top shop) i requested global rom
Update - after factory reset i test sensors and all working fine and also flashlight (164,000 on antutu), but still some issues:
1, autobrightness still bad - in very direct sun light reach only to half so cant use it .
2, Smart assistance - draw still not working no matter how hard i knock
Hi all
Has anyone faced the following problem: my watch updated to the latest Wear OS a week ago. And after this all the sensors died - no any single of them is working.
I've googled and tried everything I can - from multiple factory resets and linking watch to another phones to manually enabling app permissions for sensonrs and dev mode.
Nothing worked. Test in Dev mode shows "Fail" for all tests related to sensors.
Any ideas/advice on how to fix this?

My Watch 2 sport (4G) got the same issue after 1 year. Sent it to service and got a replacement for free.
Probably a HW issue not related to the SW update....

THanks... My watch is more than 1 year old, AFAIK warranty is over
Anyway - Thanks for advice!
Got exacly the same situation, i got my hands on a LEO-BX9 BT, when i install the older firmware 7.1.1 at the start the steps appear and the heart rate works good, but then it starts making updates and loosing the sensors data, i dont believe it's HW related as lower versions of Android Wear work without a problem. already tried almost every firmware available on XDA and the only one that worked all sensors (briefly before auto update) was sawfish-OWDD.180215.018 can anyone give me some guidelines about this? i am well informed about flashing, rooting etc. but this is new to me. flashing fastboot rom and even that way not beeing able to use the sensors.
EDIT: i know this is a old thread but this is still a beautiful watch and with capabilities to perform as a daily driver.
i came from a mi band 4 looking for more functions even if it costs charging a watch every night.
Ultimate edit: it is definitly hardware, i opened up my watch, used isopropyl alchool to clean up all contacts and it worked again, all sensors are now working except barometric sensor, it seems it had been submerged more that it can handle by the previous owner so it had water damage on it, it is near the microphone and it is unrecoverable unfortunatly. but hey, now you know. if you are having error in heart sensor, acelerometer and such. opening up and cleaning the board and contacts its a good idea. time to open up the drawer and reviving a smartwatch!

Thank you for your advice . I did exactly what you have mentioned and now my smartwatch is working again .
I have tried reinstalling the os, root and unroot. Before the newest update I could get into the debug menu, *#808#, there I could see that the accelerometer is giving faulty data. After the update I can't even get into that menu again.
Seems to be a faulty sensor and something with the software. My facking phone is 2 days old........
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas?
Yeah autorotate sucks for me. Anytime I'm on YouTube and try to watch in landscape it's hit amd miss and i have to keep moving phone to get it to work

Damn. Sounds bad too.
I noticed this while playing Asphalt8 using the accelerometer to steer. It would work for a bit then get stuck trying to drive me into the side of the road!!!
Thinking it may be a bug in the game, I looked at the raw sensor data using Physics Toolbox Suite and saw the same thing. The sensor outputs sensible data for several seconds, maybe even a couple of minutes. Then the values stop changing for about 12 seconds. The length of time the sensor works for is random but the 'dead time' is always about 12 seconds!
Has anyone found a solution to this? Even a hint as to whether it's a software or hardware problem so I can decide if I should send the phone back or wait for an update.
Thanks
Okay thank God someone else has the same issue. I was wondering what was so wrong for the longest time ?
Extremely annoying issue.
It's a software issue. Confirmed.
When I reboot the phone the issue dissapears. Meaning there is something wrong in the OS that tilts the gyroscope readings. At least there is a workaround... Hope OP fixes it soon
I used an OnePlus 5 for 2 years. Now I bought a 7 Pro. I'm wondering doing a downgrade due to this issue. Incredible how a company like oneplus and a premium phone has a software bug like this and there's still no update yet. Months without an update...
The fingerprint sensor also has a bug... Sometimes it simply doesn't work. The touch stops...
OnePlus! Where are you?
