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.

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Were stuck on an outdated version of EMUI 5.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.

Totally agree with you there..
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.

The Huawei partnership with XDA - Good news afterall??

Hii to all Huawei 8 owners,
Maybe some good news afterall, but maybe .. we will see
This is the info I got today and I said it I will report it back to all of you guys...
This is it what I have got
Just did copy paste from my inbox and attached a picture so that you can see that this is real messege sent to me
Re: Regarding the XDA community and Honor 8 partnership
Hi there,
I can give you an explanation for everything. Can you please post it so everyone can see? Here it is:
Quote:
Hi everyone! I just wanted to give you an update on Honor and the release of their kernel source, as well as our efforts to encourage development on Honor devices on XDA.
We started working with them in August 2016. One of the stipulations of our partnership was that they make kernel source available, to encourage development.
By October, they had released kernel source for the Honor 8. As a result, we had healthy development with early builds of CyanogenMod (now LineageOS, of course), as well as RR, working TWRP, and more. This was thanks in large part to a small team of Honor developers we assembled, comprised of @surdu_petru, @XePeleato, and @hackslash. This team also submitted to me a request to Honor to fill in some missing spots in their kernel source release, specifically the Trustzone driver, and precompiled libraries compatible with AOSP. Around that time, our partnership with Honor was ending.
Since early 2017, all kernel source has disappeared from Huawei's website, much to our disappointment, and yours. We are in contact with Honor, and soon to renew our agreement, and they claim that kernel source will be back online by the end of May. Since Huawei is such a big company and things are very slow, it might take longer than that. Also, we're not sure if they will re-release the MM kernel source, or that for Nougat. We are awaiting their answer but we are heavily pushing them to do what the community wants.
We made significant progress with Honor in 2H 2016 thanks to our agreement, and we hope that starting in June, we will resume this progress with the goal of opening up Honor devices, including the new Honor 8 Pro, so that developers have what they need and users can enjoy customization of their devices.
Please PM me anytime with any questions or concerns.

to give us not just better support but also the source code..
I am here not as a developer couse I am not one
I am here couse I want to speak in the name of
all Honor 8 users ( allmost all of us are disappointed )
with someone from the XDA community
I want that someone form the XDA community who can and is willing to
give me ( over the mail ) some answer or to all of us in the forum of Honor 8
if Huawei and XDA community agreement is just some kind of a lie..
And if not when will we get what is promised to us.. give us some timeline or something..
Please give us something, or do something for what is promised to us
Couse many Honor 8 users are thinking that this is just some sort of a lie
And they are very disappointed and thinking that never will be anything happening
I thing they are so much disappointed that they lost evan the will to ask you on XDA community and are thinking that it is just some sort of a lie
for what is said and promised.. but I am one of the optimist and I am still saying that
the best is yet to come
Hope for some answer and that we still will be getting the support that is promised
And I am hoping not to get disappointed too like many already are
Please give me as soon as possible some answer from either Huawei ( by contacting them as XDA community becouse of the agreement you guys had made for us ) or either some answer just
from the XDA community if you happen to know anything about the things that are promised
by that agreement if and when they will happen..
Thanks for taking your time and reading this
Best regards

Honor meet-up - Open floor discussion, Honor faces the crowd post sales

Hello,
On 4th August 2017, Honor called for a user meet-up at Chennai inviting Honor 8 Pro and Honor 6x users.
The primary agenda was to have a Open floor discussion seeking customer expectations and to address challenges / concerns/ issues faced by users.
Honor as a sub brand of Huawei, with its successful launch of two major devices(8 pro and 6x) looks forward to stabilize itself in the competitive Indian market.
Main take away for Honor was to address Heating issues, Customization improvements, other system inconsistencies.
Many other bugs were pointed out and I have typed out the entire session discussion and attached as a PDF.
Honor would like users to have a strong community base. They would want people signing up in https://club.hihonor.com/in/ and use that as a platform for discussions and also for pointing out to issues that needs attention.
Please participate in the poll as well. What issues do you like Honor to address in the forthcoming update?
Thank you,
Abhishek

i would like to actually see some optimisation on their EMUI -- as in providing more options, etc in some aspects. or re-organising their menu, etc...
actually, would be nice if you could also refer to this thread that i specifically created for the purpose of providing feedback/ suggestion to honor/ Huawei: If you could improve on the phone...

An important thing that honor 6x doesnt have is an equilizer..the audio quality while comparing with other phones at the same price range is actualy poor..An equalizer is inevitable in an android phone..so it should be included in the next update.

Honor Fan Meet

Intro:
Fan Meet is Something new organized by Honor in order to Collect opinions,feature requests and Bug reports from honor Users where other OEMs failed to do so.
I would like to share my experience how the meet had gone through.
About:
The meet was planned and set to start around 6:30 pm considering the availability of all the users who ever filled up the Google form. At 6:30 like regular we introduced ourselves to the Honor R&D team and later around 6:45 we had gone into discussions regarding the opinions on Emui 5. Surprisingly, Honor at first asked the Cons and what everyone Dint like in EMUI. Most OEMS just boast what they give and limit the users to use the same. But when it comes to Honor they asked the cons first. Mostly i heard about battery improvements and Ram Management. As they just gave a word, Promisingly (of course they surprised me and all) Honor 8 Pro users by pushing B150 ota which improves battery backup, Thermal optimizations and other bugs. That is soo quick and i dint expected such a quick response and This is completely Unexpected. And when gone through the second and foremost thing, they asked us what we need from honor in current software and future updates as well. Here Everyone raised their requirements, Even i did asked many things which our Members of Honor Forums striving since Long. R&D team took a note of what we requested. I hope that was a week day after Honor meet, they published a form here which is a poll where they tried to consider users choice. And the last one Pros On Emui . I feel EMUI 5 is obviously something that changed the game of Honor. Theres a lot of features where other proprietary softwares dint have. For the People who cant tweak their phone like root&flash(Covers everything regarding roms), The feature rich EMUI is like RR for unrooted Users. Even we discussed Many things regarding EMUI and we ended Discussions at 8:30 PM.
Post Meet:
Honor arranged dinner for all the enthusiasts who were at the meet. R&D team is friendly, they let us express everything in our mind. Its not just a normal day, HONOR truely surprised everyone in all aspects. As a token of Honor, They gave presentations to all the visitors which is eye catching .
Conclusion:
As far as i understand through the meet, Unlike other OEMs Honor is trying to reach the end users which is not a anything normal.
They collected the list of cons and rolled out an ota for 8 pro and 6x users within a week, Noted the feature Requests and published a form immediately. Woah, i feel honor(Huawei) will be a top brand if they continue the same strategy.
Kudos to R&D and Honor for giving us an opportunity to share our thoughts. And Thank You to all the Readers, Hope u guys will be at a Honor meet in ur nearest city soon. (To Openup, This Meet was arranged in Hyderabad).

Well, thx for the feedback. But why post that here? It is the Honor 7 forum, not the Honor 8 forum. I do not know if it is Honor propaganda, but that is not funny at all. The Honor 7 has been forgotten from the manufacturer, we do not receive security patch (last: 1st April 2017), and we will not receive Android OS update. The meeting (and the form) is for Honor 8, not Honor 7
