Honor 8 Update Thread - Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

This is where you guys will spread information about any OTA software updates Honor sends, or any new info from the FF app. This will be easier for people to navigate through rather than having people constantly post a new thread for every update (whether it'd be security patches, etc.), which can get repetitive for some people hence why I'm doing this. Hopefully this makes things easier for everyone.

I should also mention that whatever existing thread out there related to this is fine but anything afterwards should just be put here.

No

Don't tell others where to post. In fact, I hope 20 new threads open up after every single update.

If you like to see a bunch of new threads for every update then by all means let it be. I just thought I'd make everyone's lives easier by just checking one thread for every update. You don't have to be an arse if someone's trying to change something for the better, and no I'm not trying to force anything down anyone's throat. People said it was annoying and I thought I'd make a simple solution.

You're not. The forums for the 8 are dead. No ROMs being released, just a bunch of whiners complaining about Oreo. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Just saying.

Well we can't be the ones to be blamed here since I'm sure you and I don't act up unlike some people, which is why they're dead in the first place. You seem like you know your stuff and I don't want to argue like those whiners so we'll just leave it at that. I understand you have a different opinion on this and I completely respect it 100%.

so then B397 showed up for L04C567 with July 2018 patch

Yeah I saw it. We still havent even received the update for June's security patch and that's not approved on FF yet lol. They really need to improve and set their priorities straight with these updates. We're always the last ones to receive anything.

Nope. I was actually looking forward to this next update because apparently it fixes the issue with AR on Snapchat and elsewhere, which it did not on this one.

There was an EMUI update in the Play store after I updated my phone.

I know we are a little upset with the situation, but I believe Samsung is the one to blame.
When they stated the MM update is rolling out, when it actually isn't yet, they caused this whole mess.
Btw the official thread title is also misleading in my opinion... It feels it is a thread to talk about MM features not the OTA update.

News regarding the marshmallow update and onyx back in stock...

Hello, I decided to start a live chat with the Oneplus Customer Support.
I asked them when the OPX will be back in stock and when we can expect the marshmallow update.
They told me that they will restock the onyx but not the champagne version.
The marshmallow update will come when they restock the OPX.

Well atually there is I'd say. It will probably increase the number of sold units.
However as it seems OnePlus is struggling to get OOS 3 running properly on the OP3 they will most likely put all effort into their new flagship...

Customer care people knows nothing more than a ****!!
How can you expect these call.centre people to know about core development work? Lmao
how is it any different than what they have already said. No concrete date even in july ?? This is hardly a news about MM.
They have been changing the MM date for so many times. I give up and flash custom rom
lol dont bother, their word means sh*t really. They have said many things and did nothing at all. Oneplus is a joke really
A lot of customers & sources report that there will not be more stock.
By the time we see MM, N sources may have already released making the update pointless. Luckily though, I've been running MM since late December so its not like I'm missing out on any thing
i think oneplus is pissed off that they made such an amazing phone and sold it for so cheap! they probably hate it now.

I am not sure about emailing. But if you looked at oneplus x official forum, many have been complaining for months. Oneplus simply ignored.

complaining on the forum is not a proper way of registering a complaint. everyone should get a complaint id number from the customer care for it to count

yes and im also hopeful that they will keep the dark mode for our AMOLED screens or even add a dark theme in zte themes improve camera a little more and also daydream
Those in the beta program had to sign a non-disclosure agreement with ZTE. So close your eyes and imagine Nougat. That's what it looks like.
Can a moderator please close this thread? According to the NDA that somehow got posted on here, people that are a part of the beta program are not even allowed to tell people they are a part of the beta program. Fishing like this just seems to get people wound up over nothing.

try to imagine it like oxygenOS or like the custom ROMs thatd be sooo cool
Yes is weird they had to make a NDA in that case a stock android appearance would not hurt anyone

why would they close the thread? there is nothing illegal in here so i'd ask you to take your hate somewhere else shu shu
nobodys talking about classified stuff about nougat here we're just speculating we're going off topic now
If I was ZTE I would've done a completely public beta or leaked it myself. Hype is free marketing and for a no-carrier phone it's the only way to get people to buy.
Don't worry my good sir, the release is closer than you think.

Hurrah for the imagination then at least I know I am not the only one on the hype train hopefully ZTE won't disappoint us.

Oreo rolling out in australia?

Check the XDA homepage.. they said that G5 and G5s users are receiving oreo in australia and new zealand.. anyone can confirm this?
Here's the article:
Motorola Brings Android Oreo to the Moto Z, Z2 Play, G5, G5S and More in Australia and New Zealand
Excellent, I hope that some users can share the zip, or something similar to install the update on other update channels, as they did with the G4 Plus when it received 7.0
I'm shocked. Is this real?

Motorola moderators say it is fake and clickbait, but i don't really believe in them since they say they don't know more than ud users do..
They guy that started this information said it is based on an email that was received from motorola australia.. not sure if it's real, we have to wait.
Needs to be more independent reports before we can trust it.
Is there anybody from Australia here ?
I'll believe it when retus finally sees npn25.137-93. (not gonna lie, seeing the announcement on the XDA front page got me excited for a split second.)
EDIT: well, I guess I spoke too soon.

The article is clickbait. If you follow the source, it is a random ass website claiming a Motorola rep told them it. I am not believing it. I can make up a website and write too that my doggo told me we will get oreo tonight!

So if you're running stock, did you receive any notification about an update to Oreo ?
Nope no Oreo. I'm from Australia. I think I actually prefer nougat. I have a Nokia 8 on oreo 8.1 and it's smooth and all but that's running a s835. This Moto g5 plus feels pretty smooth (apart from heavy live wallpapers and games) for a s625. And I like nougats overall look

ANDROID P for u ultra

I know it's too early to ask this question, but I wonder if there is any chance that our phones get android pie update ? HTC did not confirmed it yet, though. What do you think about it ?
It was a notable omission from the list of phones due to get P in their recent tweet, however I've also heard its just going to be super late ie Q2 2019. For what it's worth I've sent like a dozen emails to HTC none of which have been replied to, simply asking why I'm still on march 2018 security update and when the phone is getting P.

If it were just a hobby I'd jump right in now, however this is my only phone that I also use for work. Best to wait a couple weeks atleast.
