Vendor package

Plz can someone tell us what does it mean 'vendor packge'in the instruction of b324

A vendor, also known as a supplier, is an individual or company that sells goods or services to someone else in the economic production chain.*
Vendors are a part of the*supply chain: the network of all the individuals, organizations, resources, activities and technology involved in the creation and sale of a product, from the delivery of source materials from the supplier to the manufacturer, through to its eventual delivery to the end user.
Parts manufacturers are vendors of parts to other manufacturers that assemble the parts into something sold to wholesalers or retailers. Retailers are vendors of products to consumers. In information technology as well as in other industries, the term is commonly applied to suppliers of goods and services to other companies.

The vendor package contains the apps the manufacturer decided to install on your device by default, aka bloatware. So if you ever wondered why some games and other apps either reappear after a factory reset or refuse to be uninstalled via titanium backup - they are part of this package.

Backdoor and security concern

I am thinking to buy honor 8. But the warning of not buying any Huawei phones for US government officials scare me off. Do any security experts show us proof security loophole or hardware backdoor ? In order word, is the concern legitimate? I may use my phone to visit China. And I don't want to be tracked.

Look if your looking to buy the phone go ahead. There has been many sales of this and other Huawei devices in the US.
I be more concerned about likes of Facebook, Snap chat etc etc...

[Notice] Your Huawei ID will be migrated from USA to Germany

I received this email a few days ago. I'm not sure why, exactly, as I live in Pennsylvania. Maybe the lack of software updates for a few months in the US is because Honor is getting rid of their US offices and having Europe handle it?

Anyone else receive something similar? The Honor 8 Pro was just announced today or yesterday and with Honor's support for the phone having seem to have completely died in January, less than six months after release, I'm not seeing a compelling reason to upgrade even if I did have the cash at the moment. (It's also a bit bigger at 5.7" which might be too big for my tiny Trump-like hands. I'd have to try one out in a local store like I did with the Honor 8 to see how it feels.)

I received the same email. I'm not sure what the reasoning is behind it, or what effect (if any) it will have.

ZTE has halted operations because of US ban

From CNN:
"ZTE Corporation, one of China's largest tech companies, has halted "major operating activities" after a US ban against the company went into effect, according to a new public filing."
"Some of the company's products, which includes smartphones and telecommunications equipment, appeared to be taken offline Wednesday. "

And this is so stupid because not everyone lives in the US.........

Unfortunately ZTE have not kept up an agreement with the US and action has been taken .... makes me think thank god for tdm and his amazing work

The biggest part of the seven-year ban involves no buying any products from US based companies. So no Qualcomm chips, no Dolby, etc. That's what really is devastating to them.
That being said it still sucks. It seemed like they were heading in a good direction, but they violated terms of a legal settlement. I'll still be using my Axon 7 Mini as a "backup" phone, but unfortunately won't be able to get another ZTE...

Is there still a point to purchasing one and going through the trouble of rooting it so that I will work on Verizon?

If I were you I would maybe go with Huawei, they manufacture most of the parts themselves. Don't know if they will be also banned soon
ZTE should partner with Huawei and get the parts from them. Although I am unsure which supplier is being used for WiFi (if it would be Broadcom it would be funny)

Partnering with Huawei might get past finding a supplier for the CPU/SoC - switch from Snapdragon to Kirin. Mediatek would be another option.
Still, they'd be stuck needing to roll out a whole new lineup of devices based on the new hardware.
In any event, would still have trouble purchasing a license for Google-certified Android software such as the Play Services, Play Store, etc.
However, it's starting to look like the USA strategy all along was to use this export ban as a bargaining tool to force China to make concessions in ongoing trade negotiations. There's nothing like going thermonuclear (figuratively speaking) to catch your adversary's (also known as "trading partner's") attention. Trump has recently tweeted that he's open to "working together" with the Chinese government to re-start ZTE's operations. (On the other hand, I've read in other news sources claiming that the most recent string of events with the USA backpedaling on the ZTE file is evidence of China preying on a naive USA trade strategy. Who knows: Maybe both opinions are true?)

The lack of knowledge is concerning

Huawei need to train the customer service representatives

this is one of the things I've said about their technical knowledge, they are constantly providing incorrect information to customers as they don't know their own products, which is one reason why I won't buy another Huawei as their support is not brilliant

Of course, you could buy a Pixel which has no support at all. Post a question in a Google support forum and the response is invariably a generic cut and paste from somewhere in India which has no helpful information at all, as the person posting it either hasn't read or doesn't understand the problem in the first place.
Want easy support? Buy an iPhone.
