I received my Honor 8 yesterday and so far I'm mostly pleased. Compared to the past 4 Moto G models I've owned, I'm extremely happy. I just hope support is better than my efforts to contact them so far. I was trying to register it so I'd get that 3 month screen protection and for now I've given up. I first tried to call them and sat on the phone for an hour only to be disconnected without ever talking to someone. I then tried to register it using the login I've had for some time. When I try to login with that I get an error that a problem occurred and try again later. Sooo, I tried registering with a new email but it requires them sending you a code to register. I tried 3 different email addresses multiple times and I never receive the code after 24 hours. I then sent an email, which over 24 hours later, I'm not sure they even received. If this is an indication of their support, then I am a little worried.

Thanks, I guess I'll just have to wait. That is about an unlocking code, mine is about the code needed to just register the phone but that one and mine are similar because apparently there's no one home at Huawei.

Quite frankly, i wouldn't bother If i were you. The hardware is great but software is meh and support is abysmal.
That's not news around here though.
Also, their website structure/ registering procedureshave got to be the worst.
If you think that's bad wait till you try to get your bootloader code.
Luckily there are ways around that and while not free I'd definitely go for it.
Otherwise prepare for quite a few headaches in that regard ?

LOL, Just from what I've seen, I'll have to agree. I finally got an answer from them that was obviously run through a translator. It gave me a link to click that took me back to the page I originally tried to register with. So I tried resetting my password once again and it actually sent me the registration code. When I used that it told me I was in the wrong country and redirected me to a page that looked identical to what I previously looked at. So I used my new reset password and I get a new box advising me that something went wrong. So, I give up.
I do love the phone though, compared to the Moto G4 I had, it's quite a step up.

I'm not wanting an unlock code, I'm just trying to register the darn phone. In case you've never tried or haven't in a while, Honor requires you to get an AUTHENTICATION code just to register your watch or to activate the free breakage coverage. If they don't send you that code then you can't get any web based support.

I solved my problem by using a Hotmail address. It wouldn't work using an AT&T email or Gmail but I did get a reply with hotmail. Unless you turn off the authentication feature, everything you do or change requires 2 or 3 of these authentication codes to be sent. It may be that AT&T and Gmail have blacklisted their mail server because it might look like mail flooding with all the emails they send out for every little thing. The good thing is that once you get in, you can disable that authentication feature.

Honor sent me an email saying that my US account was being transferred to Germany for some reason. I wouldn't bother trying to register for the screen protection. If you can't get the simple registration you'll probably find it impossible to get warranty service anyway. It's been two or three months since North America got a software update, and it was around Christmas to get the update before that. The Honor 9 isn't seeing a NA release last I heard. And the Honor USA reps (Noah and Trevor?) who used to post here haven't in ~10 months.
If you need a bootloader unlock code I got mine in October or November no problem. But with Huawei seeming to have stopped support in North America I'd try the European site if you need one now. I think we'll possibly get one or two more security patches over the next 12 months, but put low odds on that and expect nothing beyond it. It's a shame the Honor 8 is such a nice phone saddled with such dreadful support from Huawei. If they released security updates I'd highly recommend it. But they don't and I wouldn't suggest spending $300 on a phone that's probably never going to get a software update.
That's weird (transferring your account)

These "pattern lockout please help" threads are the worst attempt at recovering stolen phones. Its obvious thw thieves create multiple accounts on xda, Then reply with things like "this is happening to me too" It supposed to build their credibility by creating small layers of trust. Its to make you think "Oh, well if multiple people are having an issue, maybe this is just another failure in the long list of problems."
I wouldnt be suprised if they start pm'ing people who attempt to help.
The bottom line is, this is a weak attempt to socially engineer you to break the law by helping them break the law. We all know that if you forget your pattern its easy enough to recover from it. My son locks my phone once a week from incorrect pattern entry. With my G1 it was married to one google account so i was forced to recover via gmail. Therefore if they are the true owners they will have no problem recovering.

I agree with the OP, theres alot of phones on ebay and craigslist of the locked android phones. I sent a message to an ebay seller and his response was the phone was as is, but fully working. Would not go into detail when I asked him was it user error or stolen. My initial Vibrant I bought was stolen and I had no security installed. That mistake wont happen again but Please dont help the theives.
what if the person is being honest, and they are really pattern locked out, and they don't know anything about android? LOL that would suck, but I agree, lets not help thieves.
Yeah pretty much a big f you. I am a legit owner who was locked out the day I got my phone. Gmail did not unlock it so I called tmo. They walked me through a master unlock which made things worse, as now all my gmail info was deleted. Thank goodness there were people willing to help and I was able to get my phone back up and running. Its people like you who really make it hard for someone to get the help they need here on xda.

it happens, but tough ****, we can't determine the real idiots from the thieves so it's best to help no one get past the unlock screen.
(although on stock vibrant there is a known issue that the pattern unlock does not go away even if you do the right thing)
While I do agree we shouldn't help thieves, we shouldn't make such a blanket statement. Just because you get locked out of your phone doesn't mean you stole it. I've had customers whose friends tried to unlock their phone and locked them out.
But I can see it now all the unhelpful vultures on here as soon as someone asks about being locked out of their phone. "ZOMG THIEVE CALL THE POLICE, TELL THE MODS, TRACK THEIR IP, THEIR WORSE THAN HITLER!!!!"

i am not saying that if a customer brings their phone into my store i am not going to help then(i would get reprimanded for that) but online i have no way of knowing if they are telling the truth or not. when people bring their phone into the store you can usually tell if they are telling the truth or not, or you have a hundred tools at your disposal as a rep that will tell you whether or not they bought the phone and/or it is theirs
I am not suggesting there are not circumstances where everything goes wrong and you are unable to sign in using your gmail account to unlock. Wait... yes i am. If you are in this situation it is 100% your fault.
Take ownership of your phone and whats on it.
If it were so easy to circumvent 2 layers of secuirty on a locked android device... then why even have it on there.
Most if not all people looking to get around the pattern unlock are in possesion of a phone they dont own.

or they are completely retarded like 90% of my customers, there are thousands of people out there that have an android device and have no clue what their gmail password is because the sales rep set all that up for them and made sure that when they walked out the door they would have no problems. at least once a week i get customers that come in and tell me that they locked themselves out of their phone and i know they did because A) i sold it to them and set it up B) a co-worker sold it to them and i set it up C) they are old. most people don't bother to remember passwords just like they don't remember phone numbers, because technology has the ability to remember stuff for us then why the hell should we have to use our brain at all?
i am not saying that we should walk people through how to get past it, i am just stating that some people really are that stupid and can't remember unlock patterns or passwords, or phone numbers or whatever else. frankly i think even i have locked myself out of my old G1 because i changed my pattern and then forgot what is was(i changed mine once a week) just because i changed the pattern doesn't mean i stole it, it means i'm an idiot
i have also seen phones that will not let you use the gmail credentials even though you can use those same credentials to log in via computer. just because someone is stupid does not make them a thief, although being a thief makes them stupid

Overall you are correct. I deal with people all the time that dont know tech at all. The only thing I see wrong with your logic is that those type of people would not be on this forum. If the people bought the phone through a legit source they can go back to that store and get it unlocked or replaced.

Listen, there is a flaw with the fail safe of the patern lock. Its supposed to verify your google account info. It completely failed for me. First I was told I had to do it using 3G and not wi-fi. But neither worked. T mo actually replaced my phone because I got licked out
locked. They saw the error when I showed them I could log on with a computer but not with the phone which I had a receipt for.
Try it for yourself. Enter the wrong code until it asks for google verification.
Before you get your panties in a wad, why not see if there's a bug here after all.

Hey guys,
For those of us that went to Google I/O, have you heard anything about the chromebooks we're supposed to be getting? We're two days away at this point so I find it kind of strange that there hasn't been any word from Google.
I guess this probably means they won't be mailing them to us. Otherwise, they would have contacted us to ask where we wanted it shipped to. Probably some sort of voucher we can print off? We'll see on Wednesday, I guess.
Anyway, post here if you hear anything!
Thanks,

thanks, but that's not what I was asking about. I know what chromebooks are. All google i/o attendees are getting free chromebooks(just like how we got free galaxy tabs). I'm wondering if anyone has heard about those. Google hasn't mentioned anything since the event.
I've been wondering the same thing myself. Whenever I receive a new email I get excited for a second, and then realize it's not from Google
Same here.
I hope tomorrow we´ll have the answer :$
Update address
Couple of days ago I emailed them and they said I need to update my address in the google io page if it is changed, this means they may mail it, but they did not give any more information about the date and the method we get our chromebooks.

Ug, I hope they don't just send it to that address. My work address is in there and then it will be a whole accounting fiasco when it gets delivered. lol
Besides, if I remember right, they said we'd get a chance to pick which model. Might be imagining that part though.
Didn't they say June 15th during the I/O 2011 keynote? So I think we might get an email for a coupon to redeem one or something beginning tomorrow.
Sundar Pichai said, "We want to make sure every I/O attendee gets a free chromebook. These are available on June 15th. We will send you an email with details so you can claim your chromebook very, very soon."
Sounds to me like we'll be picking them up. If they just showed up at our doors, we wouldn't exactly be claiming them..
I also went to IO and am also wondering about the Chromebook. Haven't heard anything since the keynote.
I originally thought they may just give us vouchers, but there are a couple reasons I think they won't do it this way. As far as I know, Google has never given vouchers and instead has always mailed the product directly. Also, if they gave vouchers, they'd have to inform the retailers about them which seems like way too much trouble for around 5000 people across the world.
"Claim" doesn't necessarily mean we'd pick them up. You could claim something online as well. I think Google will email us about a page to go verify our address and choose our Chromebook, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Isn't really something that fits my needs either, as I don't think many developers will be able to do much work in just a browser, but it would be pretty nice for basic browsing and YouTube type stuff.
yeah, I don't know what I'll use it for.. I fully intend to attempt to get command line tools like vim, gcc, javac, etc. working on it but I don't know if that will work out.. chrome OS comes with support for python and, I believe, qemacs so that's a start. I still won't be able to write android apps but I should be able to do a fair bit of my school projects.
either way though, I'm still excited. new toys are always fun!
Come on Google!
It´s already 15th!!
still nothing?
Google just sent out a tweet on their IO account saying "#io2011 attendees - we’ll be emailing you next week with details on how to claim your Samsung #Chromebook. Stay tuned!". twitter com/GoogleIO

Here's what I get buying a phone from a little Chinese company:
Gmail did not work when I first got the phone.
Oppo released a firmware update yesterday, which fixed the Gmail issue.
However, the firmware introduced a new issue: SMS now does not work
Next update will probably break the phone dialer.
I suppose Oppo doesn't think the fundamental essence (phone/sms/email) of a phone is all that important.

If there are problems,the oppo team and forum members will get into it.
If you don't like the phone,sell it.

It kind of sounds like you weren't ready for this device anyway, it has been stated OVER AND OVER that the software is still in development and that it isn't perfect yet. However I'm fairly certain that I know what your problem is.
You might have put in the wrong area codes for your contacts, for instance in The Netherlands the number most people would use would be: 06xxxxxxxx instead the Find 5 requires it to be formatted like this: +316xxxxxxxx . It's a hassle but by syncing all of your contacts into google.com/contacts you can edit them within 10 minutes and never have any trouble with it again.
Another thing, try posting these kinds of issues on the OPPO Forums.. They are highly populated and they will help you find a solution for the stock firmware much faster than most of us on XDA could...
Please give your Find 5 to someone who will appreciate it more..
Thank you.
I have over 500 contacts, and most with multiple contact numbers.
I'll see if I can find the time to edit them all to the number format you suggested.
Strange, it was working okay, until the latest firmware update.

Please give your Find 5 to someone who will appreciate it more..

Thank you.
I have over 500 contacts, and most with multiple contact numbers.
I'll see if I can find the time to edit them all to the number format you suggested.
Strange, it was working okay, until the latest firmware update.

I'm guessing your american? In that case you shouldn't use +31 but you should use +1 I believe.
Here is a link that should help: http://www.happyzebra.com/dialing-codes/USA-country-code.php
Awesome, thank you!
Being a phone and all, you would think, Oppo would have the phone and SMS functions all working properly yesh?

I don't know why the phone has a problem discerning which country it should dial I just know it's having some trouble with it.
Might be as easy as writing a base code to change the 0 into the country code the user is currently in.
For international calls you will always have to use the +1/+31 notation.
Works fine here in US, They will get it fixed looked what all they fixed with update number+1.
I probably got my Find 5 well before just about anyone on this forum (devs and beta testers excluded) and since day 1 it's been the best phone I've ever owned/used. Obviously there were problems with the Chinese firmware, but those were quickly resolved. Oppo brings out an update just about every week for this phone. It's fast, slim, beautiful and powerful. And Oppo is a major manufacturer of electronics even in America, albeit for media electronics like bluray players etc. You obviously aren't using Google enough to resolve your problems, and your problems all sound like software related bugs, which can be easily resolved by updating to any official update of the international ROM. Oppo is not to blame.

Wow what a wonderful evening. Decided to unlock my bootloader on my VZW Dev Edition tonight. The Motorola Unlock website keeps telling me that my device is ineligible. I start a live chat and they tell me based on IMEI that my device does not qualify. Then they look up my order (from motorola.com) and they find out that my device IS a dev edition. He then tells me that my software has been modified. WTF! I just got this thing and haven't even unlocked the bootloader! Fastboot reports that it's locked! I am then told to contact them tomorrow to talk to Tier 2 Support. I am beyond angry at this moment...
Return it if you just got it and order another.

Complete moto support noobs
It takes a few days for moto to have your imei registered on their system, I think there might be 100 threads with the same issue, it just takes time.

I would suggest just calming down and go thorough with the tech support. While it's quite frustrating, it was just a bug in the system. Being frustrated and angry will only make you mad, and will not achive anything. When you talk to support, if you are mad they are much less likely to help you. Your problem will be resolved, but likely there is nobody here who can help. Just talk to Motorola and it will be fixed. Hardware defects happen all the time. It is just a software bug.
If you do get an unlock code, you could post it here and maybe we can find the formula to get the codes for unlockable imeis. Just a stab in the dark, but worth a try.

You have to be logged into the Gmail account that was used to purchase the device.
Tech Level 2 won't know what to do. You will need Tech Level 3 if this problem continues.

OK, well then I would tell Tech Level 2 to escalate it because it takes a few days for Tech Level 3 to call you back. You can try waiting a few days for the IMEI to make it into the unlock database, too, but I wouldn't wait more than 1 week from the ship date before pestering them to get on it.

Tech Level 2 just told me this exact thing I was surprised. She knew what she was talking about. She still escalated it to Level 3 for me however. Let's hope in a few days it will just be unlock able.
Just keep trying the unlock page. Its always been wonky. Many people tried over and over and then it just works. Be sure you're typing in your string properly....exactly the way it says to.

It is the unlock page acting up. Someone mentioned this yesterday in the G+ Moto X Community. Tried it with mine and nogo. GSM Dev Edition.

When I unlocked my moto x it didn't work the first time because I had spaces which I didn't think would matter but it did. So make sure there's no spaces in between the lines.

yeah, it is fickle, that is why I told the OP to get it escalated to Tech Level 3 because it will take a few days for them to get back to him. They do get back to you, though. In the mean time, he can keep checking.
Well it finally worked. Thanks for the moral support guys lol.

This times 1000. Paste the number string elsewhere and eliminate the zeros before you paste it into the box to get the code.

I had the same problem, and support didn't have a clue. I just waited and kept trying, and eventually it worked. I don't know what the hold up was, especially since I bought my DE used, but their system eventually catches up.

Wait. The X is tied to the account it was bought with? It's the first time I've heard of that and I just ordered mines through a friend's account because I don't own a credit card. Is this mentioned anywhere officially? Wow that sucks.

No its not linked to the same account. I bought mine on eBay and was able to unlock it. Just make sure that the account linked to your phone - the account shown where you have the quick toggles on the status bar is the one used when try to unlock it.
I had a few problems because I didn't realize that there were spaces when I pasted it into box. Just copy it into a word document and remove the spaces. Then paste into the section and the unlock request button will show at the very bottom of the page.

So it arrived! I'm now a very happy Moto X (Dev Edition) owner. And exactly as you said it's only linked to the account it's currently signed in with.
I, like everyone else would really like to see the bootloader unlocked. So I am offering my s7 for testing of any kind. Just let me know what you want me to do. I am using my note 5 until bootloader is unlocked so If It gets bricked it doesnt even matter.

well, i keep bootlooping the phones i get and i even softbricked a few, so far i have a verizon, AT&T, and sprint. t-mobile with cover metropcs, cricked, freedompop, and a few others........but a i am seeing the bootloader looks to be the same from verizon to sprint and at&t so i wouldn't be very shocked if the t-mobile bootloader is yet the same mod as the rest.
I managed to get the presidents email from a level two tech support agent from Samsung. He says that all emails are read mostly replied to. Perhaps if we all explain our plight via email, our voices will be heard?
