This is really good news.
Does this mean that we are starting to get listed to.
Let's hope it's not just Honor USA that are doing this

I was in the Honor 5X USA beta test group for some time when the phone was announced in the states. I would say consumers are always listened to by Huawei. I reported bugs and complaints during the time, and everything was fixed quickly thereafter. The team leaders really wanted to know every aspect of how I feel about their products. They chat with me and other testers through Google Hangout and through personal emails. But there always be some limited resources and dedicated time for the team to talk to so many customers. In reality, if you put yourself at the position of the company and the developers, it is almost impossible for the team to keep track of every post here, at least.
I think it is a good chance to exchange information with the Honor team by applying to the beta test team if you really care about the development of Honor phones and software. If you cannot join the beta test team, let us know on the forum, I'd be more than happy to forward your word to the Honor team to improve the products and services for the future releases if I get accepted as a tester for the Honor 8 product line. I hope they will be reaching out to people in a broader region, but if not, XDA is a good interconnecting region.
Cheers!

I applied, we'll see. I somehow made it into an online beta focus group for AXE products (which I despise) about a decade ago, I enjoy doing that type of thing.

Google + invites

Hi Guys,
I am working with briandevlin(http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3144157) and shedrule over at the X10 forums, to try and get more people from XDA into Google +. If you need an invite, please PM me or briandevlin and we will invite you asap
(In your pm, please include your Name and Gmail address, otherwise the invite will not go through)
Thanks!
Edit: Just to be clear, there is no official invite method for now, I am trying it through a loophole. Some of the people I invited got it, and when they clicked the link it told them it had exceeded capacity, but it did not work for most people.
Nevertheless, I can still try if you want me to, just dont be disappointed if it doesn't work.
I'm sure they will open it up soon enough.
For those of you who are already in, I'm @ gplus.to/rahul . Add me!
Further Update:
It looks like it is opening up to more people now. Head over to the Google Plus webpage and if you're lucky you will be able to sign up (not sure if this requires invite yet)
Update 2: Looks like it is open to the public for now. (Not for long)

Hey Google+ folks!
As I bet you've noticed, we are facing pretty incredible demand for Google+ invites.
As Engineering Director of Google+, I wanted to take a moment to explain why we're growing the system slowly. First, we want to make sure our infrastructure scales so the service remains fast and reliable. Second, we want to ensure that bugs are fixed while there are still a relatively few people in the field trial.
Things are going well with the systems right now so we feel comfortable enough to open up invites for a brief period. Our goal is to double the user base in the field trial. (Sorry, we're not giving details about how many folks are in the field trial yet).
So, in a few minutes, we'll open up invites again.
We continue to throttle invites, so please don't mass invite folks as it won't work. If you invite a handful of your most important friends and family you're much more likely to get these folks into our system.
Thanks again for providing so much wonderful feedback!"
What's the sense. There is Facebook and Twitter.
Ok looks like more people are slowly getting invites. For those who've pm-ed me, be patient, I've invited all of you, it will come in time
Edit: Refer to first post

Mission to obtain LE1 Pro X800 US edition source code

Hi Guys,
I am fairly certain that many of you will have been as frustrated as I am about LeEco's response to our requests for the source code for our devices. Many of us have been met with we did not release the phone to the US market so please contact the 3rd Party seller. You and i know that this is an unacceptable stance and in breach of the GNU etc.
I think it's time for all frustrated owners to show LeEco what we think of their stance, and take a stance of our own as many of us have already started to do, and see if we can twist their arm a bit. The best way in my opinion is to hurt the company where it hurts most, and that's in the pocket and in the public eye. I therefore recommend that all users go to their face book account and leave a review of 1 star and explain why. Making sure you also mention our device in the comments section. This is bound to hurt and just over the last day i have seen their review score drop a few points. Now if everyone who signed the petition did this they would likely have a score near 1 out of 5. Which is roughly what I would give their service just now.
I have also been instructed by Lemall.US to email their opensource team a request to release the code which I have done and hope many will take time out to do the same.
Keep in mind we have been treated completely different to the buyers of the CN model who seem to get endless updates. While we get BS!
All of these reviews can be changed in the future if they release the source code and let us be free of their crappy, malware firmware.
Here are the links
https://www.facebook.com/LeMallUSA/
https://www.facebook.com/LeEcoIndia/
https://www.facebook.com/LeEcoGlobal/
email for opensource request
[email protected].*
Seems to be definitely working, now at 87 one star reviews and certainly LeMall US Team have taken notice, but we must keep the pressure up.
48 hours have now passed and 49 reviews by US X800 Users.
What can we achieve at this rate in the next 48 hours?.
This is awesome considering the Campaign is in its infancy and only went live on a few other sites last night so hopefully it will pick up exponentially over the next few days. Like the petition on change.org did.
We need to try and aim for at least another 63 reviews, so that we equal their 5 star reviews and they will hit the 2.5 rating, but obviously the more the better, so keep on spreading the word.
Still no further news from LeEco since this morning and not so much as an acknowledgement from le.opensource. But i am in communication with them in all channels and not giving up.
I honestly believe we are not far from cracking this.
I will keep everyone updated with any new developments as soon as I hear.
Awesome effort so far guys!
Respect!
Thanks for putting effort into LeEco finally giving us the source code.
Just posted a 1 star review. Currently it seems they are on a 4,0 star average with 772 votes.
We need more votes!
Posted a one star review.
We need more votes!!!
Desmond thank you for the great idea!
.....
Hahaha, leeco is treating it's costumers like we're toddlers ! They removed two threads that i posted on their website http://forum.le.com/us/index.php?forums/technical-discussion.26/
I've got them back from Google cache but i can't post them on their FB because i don't use FB to let people know how touchy this company is.
And such a company tries tol make it in US and Europe, with this attitude they can forget it !

Why should any body on XDA do anything to help Honor ?
Honor made an aggreement with XDA saying that the Honor 8 was going to be a great phone for us when you know that what we want in a phone is updates and prompt response to releasing kernel source code.
You guys have done neither.
I'm running my Honor 8 on EMUI 5 with it's stock 380 update.
This update is terrible.
It's buggy and the battery life is terrible.
We have been asking for you to release kernel source code for months now and have received no answer.
Were stuck on an outdated version of EMUI 5.
You have released EMUI 5.1 but won't give it to us.
It's now April and were stuck on January security patch.
Honor you do your bit and then you can ask us to help you.
John
If you looking on XDA then you must have read just how unhappy people are.
You must have read the ROM's and kernel's thread and must have read how close we are in getting a fully working Lineage 14.1 and must have read how if you released your EMUI 5 kernel source code.
If you reading all this why are you not helping ?
@op that survey has nothing to do with the Honor 8. Stop spamming and get to the real matter as others have advised, we need quicker turn around for updates and Hotfixes be it Honor/Huawei or Google Hotfixes. Kernel source CODE is badly needed ASAP we need at least a engineer from Honor to help out in the Freedom of building Roms which install and run properly..
All in all its a great phone but socks like many Honor / Huawei devices for support...

Seems like huawei are in race releasing new devices rather maintaining an updates for their devices.
I think now they're only cared about how much of their devices sale's.

Damn shame as I do like the device just wished Rooting and mods were fare easier that what they are at the moment.. Had my device from Dec 2016 and we're at April 2017 and no changes from Honor to date..

That's exactly what's going on.
All these manufacturers want is to sell phones.
If they just took a step back and looked at what Google do different that sell so many phones.
Release source code and updates promptly

Start making good on your promises and maybe you'll get some help. It would be one thing if Honor had never promised anything, then it would just be an unfortunate delay. The problem is that Honor said that certain things would happen and they have never happened.

Doing the path of Xiaomi. They went from n.1 seller in China to down the table. Only pleasing the stockholders is a short term vision. They had probably the lowest customer retention in the last years.

Nope, one way communication.
Whatever, honor and Huawei don't actually care about the north American market other than sales.
Well, that's fine. We'll show them the same dedication by simply not buying anymore Huawei or honor devices.
Lots of other great manufacturers out there making excellent devices, and actually stick to their promises.

RedMagic 5G Series UNOFFICIAL Support

Hi XDA,
Well, this is my first thread to clarify my identity. As many people asked, yes I'm working for Nubia and responsible for all the tech support and related stuff, including the system update and some of the development work.
I'm here with my personal account to provide UN-OFFICIAL support to all the users around the world. I hope through my effort people can enjoy the RedMagic series smartphone. And I also hope developers around the world can use our phone to make better ROMS. Due to some of the regulation and restriction most of the time I can't provide a direct answer, however I can give you some tips and hints to solve it. So please don't push me too hard.
Because my works on XDA is not officially supported by the company so I can't check the XDA very often. If you got a question just @me in your post, try not to send PM because it makes more time for me to answer. If you have Telegram group related to Nubia, you can invite me @yinzicong to join, it is better to get messages on Telegram.
At last, Thanks for choosing Nubia products.

I heard that the Pulse version used to have problems like flickering and shut downs because of the incompatibility between the rom and its hardware (RAM and storage). I want to ask if it's fixed in the new batch of stock that have just arrived and what version of the rom it's on. Thank you.
@Veroxious
Hi, as a pulse owner I can answer your question.
I have the EU version and am on 4.05 and don't have the problems your mentioning here.
It's solid and the only "problems" I have are the few missing software parts like the battery stats / percentage and the disappearing status bar.
Other then that I don't have any problems and I use my phone a lot (during the day for work (80%) and private (20%) and after work I play some games, watch YouTube etc...
@JerryYin please allow use of alternate launchers like Nova and release kernel sources so development can be better
@JerryYin

The issue I have most with my new RedMagic 5G is that I simply can't customize the launcher. I've tried to install multiple launchers like Nova, Microsoft, Apex, etc...and the phone continues to default back to the Nubia Launcher. I had the previous RedMagic 3S and enjoyed the phone more than my 5G simply cuz I could customize my software.
I'm hoping that a new update will come out by this Friday. I just received my phone from the NA website about a week ago and my build number seems to be even older than yours. BUILD NUMBER: NX659J_ENCommon_V3.08
