Not yet. Hoping to avoid as it takes a while to rebuild after a reset.
I lost mine too, I thought it was due to my Exchange Policies at work but realized others were having issues after the update as well.
i wonder why its just us. Do you encrypt at startup?
Yes, I have require password at boot and it will decrypt once it's typed in. I had that set before the update and it worked then though.

Not encrypted, no issues with face unlock
Anyone with the face recognition issue do a factory reset yet to see if it fixes the issue?
This may not be the case for everyone but, I went to device administrators and removed my exchange policy for work and now face unlock works. I had it before, and it worked but maybe after the update something changed. Going to use the Nine email client again so I can use face unlock.
I came too exactly the same conclusion i hard reset my device and watched what did it. Exchange policy.
My faceunlock is greyed out, and permission monitor no longer works. smh att

I have honor 8 for 2 weeks already and at the start the scanner was working just fine now it is acting weirdly(I haven't dropped it yet and I'm that water didn't go inside ), sometimes it work sometimes it does not, I tried to delete and add my finger print again and it didnt work anyways now I cannot even add it because it says to put more preasure at the scanner. I'm using eu version of the phone bought it of amazon (cannot link it "To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages.

Weird i have no isseus at all i got mine last week too...EU version have you tried to factory reset? If it doesn't work you probably got a defective one and you will need to replace it with a new one
Try to update (if available), and do a factory reset

I know what i will say will not solve your problem but it's better to know. I played a lot with this fingerprint sensor. The sensor itself it's fast, it's the EMUI who make it slow down a lot. If you will try to just touch your fingerprint sensor and take the finger VERY VERY FAST you will see that sometimes the phone will unlock but with a bit of delay. And if you will try to unlock the phone with the fingerprint sensor and lock it again for more times and are you doing this fast the phone sometimes will not unlock.
Back up all the data on your device then do a factory reset. That should fix the problem with your fingerprint scanner.

Factory reset fixed my problem for a while, when I installed some apps it broke again
Has anyone else experienced issues using a chromecast with their honor 8?
It used to consistently work flawlessly with my Galaxy S5, but since I've switched casting has been very buggy.
Finding the chromecast is usualy the first issue, half the time when I go to cast no devices show up.
Mostly frustrating is after something is casting I lose volume control when I am outside that specific all. Before I could toggle the volume on my TV from any screen and it showed the slider along with the phone media and ringer volume. It also seems to disconnect from the chromecast quite a bit as well. Sometimes ending the cast, but usually I'll have to close the app and reconnect in order to be able to control it again.
I've tried factory resetting my chromecast and never used guest mode, not sure what's causing the problems.
Anyone know of any possible solutions?
I have been having the same issues.
Phone just can't see the chrome cast.
Would be good if anyone has any solutions ??

I can't even get BBC iPlayer to cast so there is definitely some thing wrong.
Now TV just released an update that was ment to deal with the casting bug but still no casting !!

you were totally right
everything is back to normal after a factory reset
and it didn't took too much time.
backed up apps with the honor software and it wasn't that long. just the apps not the settings to be sure to not recreate the problem if it was caused by another app.
thanks a lot.

Does your volume control work as it should now?
I'm still having issues controlling volume from outside the app that is casting after a factory reset.

What the hell's up with this? It's been happening ever since I got the phone, gradually getting worse. Nowadays it doesn't let me write the two letters next to one another, period.
"vicle"
"bavior"
Etc.
Have you tried using a new keyboard?
Ugh, I had the same problem.
I messed with all the settings, auto correct settings, i tried different keyboards, i tried changing languages, i tried hitting it, i tried telling at it, I tried clearing the cache on everything.
Nothing worked.
Nothing at all.
I HATE Huawei. Fix your damn bugs!
The ONLY solution, is a complete factory reset. There is nothing else you can do.

Afraid it's not limited to the keyboard. It's on a system level. Apps and whatnot with the words display them incorrectly.
This may be a common issue I reported in another post. If you have Google Gboard installed try uninstalling the update. It will revert to stock Google Keyboard. This fixed weird keyboard issues for me.

Well, you're SOL then, because a factory reset is your only option.
Trust me, I tried absolutely everything to get it to work. Nothing did.
You'll at minimum have to root it, which will involve a wipe anyway.
So save your stuff and take some time off in a weekend, or live with it.
Either way, I'm sure you'll be in the same boat as me when you say this will be the last Huawei I'll ever buy. These bugs are inexcusable, and going months whithout a fix is even worse.

Yeah. I'll do so over the weekend. It's just a pain having to backup all of my stuff.
I'll definitely be looking elsewhere for my next smartphone. As if the denial of releasing the kernel for the Honor 8 to get stable custom ROMs wasn't enough. Great phone otherwise. 'tis a shame.
Do you use the default font? I remember some theme here in XDA that has a bugged font. Didn't let me type "e" and "h" normally until I changed back to the default font
That was it. I no longer have an issue with typing "e" and "h." Thanks, you're a life saver!
Strange little bug though.
That's really strange. I'm not using the default font, but that only started happening after a few months of using it.
Also, after factory wiping, it started working fine again, but I'm using the same custom font now and it's working fine.
What the hell?

Will most likely have more luck with Google. Not sure how well CPW online are for warranty claims, unless they are going to replace for a new unit I won't trust them.
I'm going to see if the new update works out before I speak to either of them. I rebooted yesterday after installing the October update so I will most likely find out tomorrow of it is resolved.
Hello everyone,
I have an S22 Ultra updated to the latest firmware AVF5.
I am having an internet issue where every time I don't have Wi-Fi and turn on the screen internet will work for 40-60 seconds then stop working completely until I turn off and back on the mobile data.
In this time frame the phone has maximum reception and the '+' sign disappears from 4g+ icon.
Does anyone else have the same issue and know how to solve it?
Still haven't tried a factory backup.
Thank you!
You reset the network connection?
Clear system cache.
A lot of people are recommending to clear the partition's cache to solve various issues, have you already gave it a try?
Edit: Seems like @blackhawk got the same idea a few seconds ahead of me.
Thank you for the quick reply! You mean "Wipe Cache partition" in recovery mode?

It never hurts to try it... unless you punch factory reset by mistake
I've seen it clear some bizarre problems like magic. After an update it's good to do out of habit. I clear mine about once a month, routine maintenance.
If those fail, ask your carrier to reset the connection on their end. Reboot.
No connection drops till now!

When it happens see if it shows at the top of the list in Device Care >memory, clear all apps.
If it happens soon after you cleared cache apps it makes it easy to spot if it shows here. I've found some nasty little buggers like this.
I would -really- try to find the root cause rather than do a reset. A factory reset may not correct it and even if it does, if it reoccurs... you're right back where you started.
This is one reason I don't update. Malware is less trouble to deal with
