For how long will Honor 8X receive OS updates?
Is there a timeframe for Android P to be released on the 8x? Will it get Android Q?
Question at the end.
Being a true Honor user having a Honor 8 right now after a Honor 6 and also having a Honor 9 in the family I do not see why for example the Honor 8 did not get Oreo even though the specs allow the upgrade. In fact it is supposed to get it (there was even a petition started for this) however it is massively delayed - if it ever comes. I sure know the answer from a marketing and sales perspective: there were so many new Honor phones being released the company wanted to push these users to buy a new model. This often however turn users away from the brand rather than buying a new model. Many feel cheated not having at least 2 years until the device goes end of life.
So the question: Is the above about to happen with the Honor 8X aswell?
Will Huawei commit to timely updates and keep up with OTA updates over the officially supported time span including major Android version upgrades?
I'm sure many people are looking for a answer to this along with being more open with the developer community, since that makes up a good chunk of why people choose a specific brand or OEM to purchase from.
Is the developer community a factor that Huawei will consider to be a important aspect that will grow and hopefully leave trust in existing and potential users for the 8X?

my Q is i was close to buy one honor x8 but then i saw that i doesnt have lte band 20 will there be an update there support band 20 ?
Will the Honor 8X support open-source?
Which Honor 8X's feature do you think is unique among today's smartphones?
Can you explain, why Honor has a partnership with XDA and at the same time blocks development by no longer giving bootloader unlock to users?
I think this is a good opportunity for Honor to prove the official updates are as good as custom builds.
So my question is about the new Honor 8X:
Does the company seek to create such a competitive situation?
The question (s) I have are mostly about how Honor 8X improves upon its predecessor,
Firstly, Honor is associated with value for money and most of your devices, including the Honor Play and the newly launched Honor 8X are priced very competitively and offer a lot of value while having very few corners cut. How do you do this, and where do you draw the line to cut corners?
Second, AI is the buzzword these days and Honor was one of the first OEMs to introduce AI in various parts of the software. What new AI based features does Honor plan to bring to the 8X?
The Kirin 710 inside the 8X does pack a punch over the Kirin 659 on the 7X and while synthetic benchmarks do show the improved performance and efficiency, benchmarks don't always tell the entire story. How does the newer chip fare better?
The 8X does have stiff competition from other OEMs, what is one key aspect where the 8X blows the competition?
Being an owner of many different Honor devices in the past, I'm now the current owner of a freshly imported Honor Note 10 in the UK (it's 23hrs old at time of writing this, I'm very happy with it)
1. What made the powers that be in the Honor HQ decide the note 10 should be a China/Asia exclusive device? I think this would have really expanded the Honor/Huawei customer/fanbase if there were to be an EU/International variant, this could have given the public something else to consider besides the Samsung Galaxys & iPhones, especially with Honor's attractive pricing and competitive specs (the Honor play wasn't what the UK or me more to the point was expecting at IFA 2018, I was quite let down by the announcement of it and not the Note 10)
2. Bootloaders being locked or not offering unlock codes etc..., I don't really understand why OEM's decide the public can't modify they're property that they paid for to do as they wish, if they break it they pay for it to be fixed, same as a broken screen if you get me
3. As a representative of Honor, how closely do you or your colleagues work with XDA admins/members?
4. Does Honor take positive/negative feedback professionally from XDA and put a plan of action in place, this can be for future updates, designs which also may include innovation for Emui or does Honor just use the programmers in the think-tank at HQ (we can be collectively quite resourceful & helpful on here)
Does it haw big anntenas to get god 4G signal in dors.
Do someone who buy phones local whit higher price than internet shop get better protection or acesorys- ever.
Is the Honor 8X going to be updated to support Netflix HD? As far as I've seen it can be added by a software update
Hello Sir
First of all one thing is for sure that is " Honor 8x is the best looking phone in that price segment".
No other mobile in that segment can give competition to Honor 8x.
But my suggestion is to please fill up small gaps which are very important to make Honor 8x (or) upcoming Honor 9x as numbere one smartphone in that price segment.
They are:
1. Increase Sound volume. The sound is very low.
2. Please reduce saturation levels in camera. Photos are not showing natural colours.
3. Please introduce type-C port and quick charge 3 support in the upcoming Honor X (Honor 9x) series.
Thanking you
will honor 8x get GSI image for android Q?
Hi . Thank you for giving us this chance to contact with a honor representative .
I want to ask specifically about the software update policy for the honor 8X . When do you plan to end the software update support for this device?
Thank you.
What do you get when bootloader is locked and unlockable? Don't say it for security reasons.
Not good enough
"While Honor has officially ended their bootloader unlock program, we've partnered with them to relaunch the program for XDA users."
A program to provide rather limited options to a small subset of a total user population is not adequate. It leaves many (self included) with a distinct impression that the ONLY reason this is done is to suppress a voice of dissent from an influential user community by tossing them a bone to shut them up.
Why not have the wisdom, integrity and, for lack of a better word, courage, to simply drop the buzzwords, stop beating around the bush, and ultimately stop driving many of your potential customers over to Xiaomi and other vendors offering competitive prices and hardware features along with far more enlightened policies with respect to bootloader unlocking ?
Will the Honor 8X be released in Canada? We can import the US version of the 7X from newegg.ca, but it would be nice to see a real distrubution channel in the Great White North.

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].*
Most recent reply suggests its working -
Denis our LeEco Global team has been contacted regarding this issue. We are investigating why the Le1 Pro x800 source codes were never released as part of the petition. We are pushing the LeEco Global Team to resolve this issue for you in a timely manner. The LeMall and LeEco US Teams were unaware of this issue until we received the reviews, but we will work to get this resolved for you. We hope you understand this device is not connected to our region and this is why our teams aren't able to resolve this for you immediately.We will keep in touch. -Matthew, LeMall US Team
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!

good day. has anyone seen that now there are 4 differente source codes for x900 in leeco open source websites
http://opensource.le.com/
forget it and use this rom http://g3.letv.cn/244/27/89/scloud-...1S-5.9.020S.zip?b=123456&platid=5&splatid=500
Some more info would be nice Ab20000 instead of posting a rom which has a CN (wont work on the US version?) in the name...
Currently on slow internet so i cant give it a try. anyone else willing to?
Dear Xiaomi,
I'm sure there are a lot of buyers (like me) of your latest flagship phone Xiaomi Mi5s who bought this phone hoping that you will release the source code very soon after its market introduction and thus make use of numerous custom firmware out there.
Hence our humble request: Please release the kernel source code for Xiaomi Mi5s asap.
Thanks
Edit 1 (27.04.2017):
After 7 months of waiting, the kernel source code for Xiaomi Mi5s has been released. Finally!
https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/scorpio-m-oss
See also the MIUI Xiaomi Mi5s Forum.
http://en.miui.com/thread-407935-1-1.html
best regards
This post does not belong in this section.
Also I doubt anyone from Xiaomi would read this post.
Even if they did, they already know we on XDA would like the source code released - the same as every other phone released!

Need to start getting to the governments of countries involved to block importing/sale of ANY products that use GPL based software that they dont release source code for that the license says they must. I guess unfortunately enforcing GPL doesnt have the backing of multi billion dollar movie studios like pirating one movie might bring...
Basically their stealing other peoples work and making a profit by selling it without following the law of releasing their modifications of the source.
If the product is sold then source must be available otherwise the law is being broken, stop them selling their products outside of China and then they might give a toss about releasing kernel source, their stealing the work of thousands of developers and not abiding by the license that the source was released under.
Looks like Mi5S support will be abandoned shortly as their releasing the Mi6, looks like we got a lemon of a phone, time to chuck all Mi5S's into the kitchen grinder and destroy them

Well, if they can not handle it like Oneplus did it months ago, they could release sources to let us do better than they can.
Please don't protect xiaomi developers. Their updates are a joke, at least when hardware bugs still subsist like fingerprint scanner. It's funny to see that an XDA developer fixed it with LineageOS even without source code. They are amateurs on their jobs, that is guaranteed. They don't understand that an hardware is as good as it's software permits.
It's also important to note that they released nougat not only for ancient devices but also for more recent devices than mi 5s which is an insult. In fact i believe nougat comes to mi6 sooner than mi 5s, releasing mi6 with MM is ridiculous anyway.
With mi6 they change this device to the past, with software from the past and without kernel sources, future proof hardware bugs.
So yes, even if they release sources or Nougat tomorrow i would be still disappointed. It's my right to feel as so and to share it in a proper manner.

I am disappointed too. But every day I see at least one man who say that "Xiaomi tricked us, no support for global, this phone is ****, throw it away". I don't see posts like this on 4pda, but usually russian community raging first.
I don't feel tricked, because i expected Xiaomi dominant position. But a dominant position makes sense when there is no problem whatsoever, or they managed to rapidly correct problems, or when a software is proprietary. None of this happened. They don't fix it and don't let us try to do better. This model suffer from hardware inconsistency with some camera and screen manufacture, this should be sufficient to provide some after sale care at least at software domain. I still wait for the best, but what i could assure at this time is that i regret this acquisition against Oneplus 3T. I question myself if they acknowledge that Oneplus is their natural competitors and that they are gaining the game with simple actions. First CPU with normal clock (170k vs 152k max at antutu), then battery friendly oled, then a working fingerprint scanner without battery drain, consistent hardware sources against multisourced modules, open source since day one, frequent usefull updates, and fast upgrade to last Android. For me is night and day. Say nothing isn't an option because i would not protect my product, neither potential buyers, or Xiaomi option to make things right.

I agree with you for the most part, but not for comparing Xiaomi's Mi5s with Oneplus 3T. I paid less than $300 for my Mi5s 4/32, Oneplus 3T costs at least $420. I don't say it doesn't worth the money, I'm sure it does (OLED, 6gb RAM, etc...), I'm just saying it's not the same price range...

If Mi 5s had 6GB ram, Gorilla Glass 4 and OLED etc... It'll will cost as much as 3T
Let's not split hairs,let us all just hope Xiaomi releases the kernel sources for Mi5s along with Mi6 or by the end of April.

Also in that case a more fair comparison would be between Oneplus 3T and Mi5s 4/128 that cost me 379€.
Since the mi6 was released today...should we expect to receive access to the kernel's source code today? Any news in this regard?
We need official nougat global dev rom ASAP.
I guess at this point it may be a good idea to write to http://gpl-violations.org for an advice and help
Xiaomi already know you want the source code - it is the same with EVERY other phone! They will release it when they are ready to.
Making complaints on this non-Xiaomi forum / starting petitions will not make any difference. They will not read them.
Hi Folks,
As you know, there are lot meet ups happening in India for Honor/Huawei users, currently for Honor 6X and Honor 8 Pro only, but we may see these coming to other devices as well based on the response. It may be limited for older devices where software support is not possible but eventually newer devices like, Honor 5C, Honor 8, Honor 6X and honor 8 pro would be included (if they get more requests for 5C and 8).
In this thread, lets discuss on various points/feedback and feature request that we want to raise it to the Honor teams during meetup and eventually taken up to the R&D team for consideration to enhance the end user experience in a positive way.
Anybody attending these meet ups with Honor team can put forward these points and we wish these points will be considered to provide a happy and positive user experience.
Creating a thread in Honor 8 Pro section as well so that 8 pro user can fill their points there and we can refer any of these thread for unique points to proceed with.
8 Pro Thread
Good luck.
Attached is the list of point raised during Honor meet up in Chennai and compiled by our fellow member @amulbaby (Abhishek)

8 pro thread- https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8-pro/how-to/feature-request-feedback-upcoming-emui-t3669807
As we already discussed on other thread few of the points
removal of knuckle feature
camera lag on EMUI 5 (while opening only)
Over exposed image while using front camera
timely Kernel sources for all the device
Double tap to wake up
uniform OTA acorss all devices
Expecting for expert opinion, new points, feedback, feature request from @gopinaidu77 @VenuGopalu077 @PalakMi @RedSkull23 @clsA @jsbeyond @amulbaby add other if I missed anyone.

Well to be perfectly honest after owning 2 H5x and an Honor 8 I have no intentions of ever owning another Honor device.
The company has all but abandon it's past phone owners and all their interested in is you buying their next phone.
Their is no reason to back or support Honor and all their broken promises. The don't even respect their own employees
and they for Damn sure never listen to the Users request and feedback.
At the prices they are charging for their devices you could be using a LG G6 / HTC 10 / ZTE axon a Nokia 6 or any number of Moto or samsung phones (My kids Galaxy S8 plus was $525 with trade in and just $24 a month with samsung financing)

A transparent and open feedback mate :good:
First of all, thanks for asking my opinion about. I've read the PDF file attached and i found it very interesting. Plus, seeing such a relationship between OEM and customers is great. That's how things should always be.
Aside what has been already told, and the thing which i agree most is the uniformity of updates on all devices to ensure a quality performance to every device, I'd suggest to being more developer friendly (don't worry, I've already seen that in the points declared above, the release of kernel sources in time is already there). You shouldn't leave developers with tied hands, and anyway the device would be always bought from Huawei/Honor, so why mind too much at which OS will run on the phone? I buy the phone for hardware characteristics overall, what matters for real is that the user would feel free to do whatever it wants with the phone, once that it has been payed. Next; ensuring a stable security patch update without having to download the full package would be nice third: things like NFC chip present in the device but disabled in some countries (luckily I'm not one of the involved) should never happens. I understand about the call recording because some countries take it easier compared to others, but i think that the NFC technology is the same (or almost) in every country, so why disable it?
As i'll remind other features, I'll come back to speak about them. At the moment nothing else to say

Exactly mate. Thats why i said uniform OTA and similar EMUI for all variants if they use same hardware. Also OTA can be same across all devices.
First of all i want to say that honor is doing a good act.. Tgis meetup thing is very positive but i want them to really implement this and the results should be positive..
1. Double tap to wakeup on kirin based devices
2. Quick and firm OTA updates for all regions as i feel that Pakistan region is ignored and dont get updates fasters.
3. Should provide 2 major upgrades on a device.. Means 2 year full support.

Would be both a work in less to do by them, and a better way to communicate with other devices and so developing a more synergetic compatibility with various devices by the same OEM. Sounds more like something futuristic however ahahah. Jokes aside, some model surely has and will have particular features that are present only in models that the hardware would permit, like more options for a better shot on camera as an hypothesis. Then it'd be sufficient to add in the OS some strings as "show this option if camera sensor x is true" and "show not this option if camera sensor x is false" or something like that, like some apps and OS already do from many time (like Greenify and the alternative lock-screen option that is shown if is a fingerprint sensor is detected, in example).
I have two things to speak about:
1- honor made their devices totally hard to unlock and even harder to recover if bricked, I was wondering why they won't make it easy like Oneplus or Google?!
2- is about EMUI, I want Huawei to leave the lockscreen and notification panel just what Google intended (they can skin it however they)
The way how EMUI handle notification and lockscreen notifications is pretty bad.
I want them to fix these two points, and if they still continue with that.
I'm seriously going to sell my honor 8 and get Xiaomi mi A1

I'm seriously going to sell my honor 8 and get Xiaomi mi A1

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).
That is nice. I wish that other android OEMs would do the same thing too.

True or false?
Nokia distances itself from boss's warning over Huawei 5G kit
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-48790746
So the answer to your question depends on whether someone sees Huawei as serious competition with massive 5G patent arsenal or whether one thinks of it a true technology innovator. I think its the former that is to blame and this is why the USA and Huawei competitors are trying to commit extrajudicial execution against Huawei and simply speaking from their….. sides. I think if the US or other European companies such as Nokia or Ericsson had their systems tested for vulnerabilities, I am sure there will be a lot more to talk about but at the moment the game appears to be about crushing Huawei's rise at whatever cost due to their precious patent portfolio and the lack of innovation from Huawei's rivals and China's rivals.
On a positive note, as someone who is looking to get the Mate 20X 5G or the Mate X, I hope these issues continue to keep flagship Huawei and other brand devices lower because flagship price increases have gone out of control.
Huawei actually invested heavily and early into the future. Forward thinking when most were all about making as much money as they could from us end consumers. Huawei are now after perfecting their systems delivering mind blowing devices that rival even surpass most of the others. Apple and Samsung are hard to beat but with the roll out of 5g Huawei stands to leap ahead and of course they could not let that happen hence all this nonsense we heard about. I own a Mate 20 X and this is a serious device
