It looks like you have a bad battery. Go to the nearest samsung service center and they will replace it for you

Hi dear.
No, it's normal!
It only turns off when it's under pressure and a few apps run at a time.
For example, when I turned on phone data and I want to take a photo by camera or video, It suddenly turns off.
Or for example after calling, it turns off!
Please help me!:crying::crying:

No, I don't.
Please helppppppp me!!!!!!!!!

You are getting help... Fearful as it sounds, it seems likely you have a bad device, most likely due to hardware. I'd return it for a new one ASAP.

Has this happened to anyone before?

Look if im in your position i would guess its hardware. You made everything possible to try to solve the issue.
But whatsoever you do the problem still exist so there must be something wrong with the hardware. So sorry my friend.

Compass?

Hi guys. I have some problems with the compass. When I compare it with other devices it shows other directions.. is my phone broke ? Do u guys have this issue too ?

Maybe the gyroscope isn't calibrated property, if you can't do anything now, try a factory reset

I tried this at my desk at work and the phone shows North where south should be and South where north should be. I grabbed a co-workers iPhone and his pointed north perfectly. After shaking my phone a few times, it eventually corrected itself, but was easily thrown off by moving it again.
My only guess is that our phones are VERY susceptible to electromagnetic interference.

Or you can simply try to reboot.

no it asks every time to calibrate ,I dont know y.

I can confirm that my compass now works properly in my home. My office has hundreds of electronic devices connected to numerous WiFi routers. It seems to support my hypothesis that our phones are just very sensitive to EM interference.

Yep got it last week, didn't notice any difference.

I was only offered this update OTA this morning.
But one thing I noticed right away - the Trusted Places unlock is now working as it should. Previously it was very hit and miss.
Thumbs up :highfive:

I noticed the "F*** You" emoji is now gone after the latest update?

There's even newer update available already...

Camera doesn't focus anymore

So my Camera doesn't focus anymore... Objects in distance of up to 10cm stay clear and even focus if I move the phone. But if I move it away more than 10cm they stay blurry.
Of course I could send in the phone but first I'm in Germany so it would take a long time, second I got a unlocked bootloader so a bit stressful to lock it again... and third (biggest problem) the phone got a broken back 4 months ago and I think Huawei will say the camera broke because of the fall and won't believe me it worked fine until now or they will say that the phone fell down yesterday.
Any other suggestions what to try? I think I will try to replace the camera by myself...

Put your phone vertically on a flat surface (like standing). Then let it free fall screen facing down. You should good to go after that.
I am trying to illustrate as below

I have this issue as well. I solved it using above way.

Had to log in just to say THANK YOU! For weeks, since having to get my broken screen replaced, the camera's been blurry and I was this close to going back to the store to complain. Thank God I got to skip that! For anyone thinking this is a joke, it's not! I put my phone on the floor and let it fall face down. Camera's like new again

100% legit works
I cannot explain to you how relieved I am after doing this, it actually works lol, was sceptical because why would it work if you drop your phone. some reverse logics right there. thabkyou so much nd thanks to the reploes too. also made an account just to reply. this works guys, i have an honor 8 too! much love
edit: to the vertical drop method, forgot to quote

i thought you guys were pulling my leg, tried it and problem solved...WOW thanks guys

I just hold it with my left and smack it a bit with my right hand...

Holy cow guys, it worked for me too... How on earth is this could be possible?

I logged in just to say THANK YOU, it works like a charm.

I think it's simple how it works... The system that focus could be blocked (I don't know why, it could be dust or any other thing) and let telephone fall could unlock it

Dear,
Thank you very much for telling vertically stand and fell formula... It works like a charm... ☺
Love u thnx

Almost Dec 2019... i had this focus issue al day, just looked at some threads about Honor 8 problems and everyone recomended to replace the camera... tried what you mentioned here... and worked like a charm.... but.. HOW? i dont get it. but it works.. THANK YOU.

wtf!!!! i thought that it is a joke. it actually helped me and i thought that second camera is jamed or something. I did as you said
1. turn camera on
2. put it on table in vertical position like this |
3. let it fall on table with camera down _
4. screen went black and camera is working now
THANK You!!!!!

Ridiculous, but worked perfectly! Thanks guys

If you could screen record your AOD settings and post it to YT or here in the group I'd owe you big time. I couldn't get the sloppy UI to work for my OP and it gave me a headache so I just gave up. Maybe a how to video on YT would be amazing. TIA if you get a chance

I gave it a try after learning about it from reading this thread and overall it's great, except for one flaw...
I like having lift to wake so I can use my fp to get into my phone. This AOD requires a double tap to wake.
So close!

Oh man, try emailing the developer! Maybe they can work on support for us!
I'll email him once mine comes in as well

Tried Plus Beat?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vaf.vishal.plusbeat

Good find, I'll definitely be trying that one. Wonder if it works with lift to wake?

I found this used about 30%+ of my battery yesterday when I had it on all the time, heh. Also automatic face unlock (where you hit the side button and it auto unlocks) does not seem to work but you can still double tap then hit the face unlock button. Seems like at that point you would just use the fingerprint unlock. It does have a lift to wake option but I could never get it working (the AOD would never turn on when the feature was enabled). I ended up setting it to only be on when the phone is charging and works great on my charging dock so I can see important stuff while in bed. It is a beta so hopefully there will be some improvements in the future.

Yeah if this app switched over to the stock ambient display on lift, it would be the perfect AOD solution in my opinion.

Always on. I actually started using this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.alwayson
I think it uses a little less battery, has way more features, and is a lot less buggy.

Its a good app but sadly auto lock dont work and also when the AOD is activated, it messes up the phone's screen on time as well because it's taken into account. Used the premium version for quite sometime now
