Feedback Thread: Tell Honor What You Want in Future Software Updates!
How is everyone enjoying their Honor 8? I was curious about what everyone wanted to see in future updates or maybe the next version of the phone.
Some things I'd like to see
Android 7.0
App Drawer
More Theme Options
Power plan scheduler as said by @Droiderr at http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/power-plan-scheduler-t3482030
App drawer,
Good reflective design aesthetics,
Better RAM Management without closing more recently used apps,
Default VoLTE support and support for all LTE bands in that region.
I would like to see android 7.0 for sure
And I know it may just be me but I would like the phone on just standard android not emui.
My only other gripe is ram management and the way it handles closing recent apps.
To use smart keys for home, back or app switch
1. Better screen calibration by default.
2. Double tap the screen to wake.
3. Extend the functionality of the smart key. Eg. -While the screen is on, tapping on the fingerprint will function as back key. This is usefull for app that use full screen such as browser.
-Tap and hold to turn off the screen. This is a feature that is available on meizu device which is very useful. No need to press, just tap and hold the fingerprint and boom the screen turn off.
4. Performance and smart powerplan shortcut on the shortcuts tab. Might as well add 720p(rog mode) toggle.
5. Better camera interface. The current interface seriously need some redesign! Why the hdr is seperated from auto mode? The pro/manual mode uses ring adjustments which is annoying. Why not a simpler like a straight horizontal line for focus,exposure time,wb,iso adjustment?
6. Fix the damn camera settings! Whenever I open up the pro mode, the auxiliary light always turned on. It doesnt save my setting! Same goes to the image adjustment.
1080p stabilization without losing so much quality of the video. It looks worse than a normal 720p video.. and ability to zoom in the videos with using all the 12mp sensor, not just 'software zoom'
7.0
Better ram management
Better notifications! Quick reply from notification shade, not just in heads up.
Lockscreen improvements, reply from lockscreen
Update themes from theme app. So I don't have to go download the updates themes and put them in theme folder
I would like to see Android 7.0.1 as soon as possible.
Need to be able to change the notification volume independently of the ring volume, just like on my old Galaxy S5. Notifications should be on the volume list with its own slider!
center clock mod.
ambient display and double tap to wake.
An option to show contacts with phone number only (Which was available in other devices EMUI)

Is anyone from Huawei aware of this thread?
I agree with everyone! This is a great phone but EMUI 5.0 update needs to come soon!
Something that hasn't been mentioned is discarding of notifications on the lock screen, e.g. swipe to the right.

Yup. Need to access Notifications and Quick toggles in the notification bar from lock screen like the one in Moto.
Double tap box key to fast switch previous application
'movie' display mode - like the one in samsungs
and nougat 7.0 of course ;p

There was a bets for the p9 in the summer, yeah maybe in December
Emui 5.
Nougat release.
Hi y'all !
I just bought Nokia 6 last night and notice that there are some toggles missing in the notification bar which are available in my other phone running Android 7.0.
Such as the screenshot toggle, Volume toggle, sound profile toggle and so more, they are obviously not in the "Drag to add tiles". I hope Nokia didn't remove them.
Also, how i can make the battery percentage indicator appear next to the battery icon instead of inside the battery icon?
If you enabled System UI Tuner you can enable battery percentage.
To turn on Sytem UI Tuner, you need to press the little cog symbol in the corner of the toggle window until ut rotates. After that you find the system ui tuner menu in the bottom of the settings menu. And there under status bar you can enable battery percentage. As far as the other tiles are concerned, I don't know uf they are part of the rom.

thanks for the reply. But by turning on Sytem UI Tuner, i can only enable the battery percentage indicator INSIDE the battery icon which is too small to see...

Yeah, I know, sorry. But until some devs come along and actually start developing ROMs and stuff for this thing that's all we can get for now I assume.
By the way, the Gallery app is also missing from Nokia 6, Google photo is standard default photo viewing app now?

missing a lot of tiles bother me too, but there are apps out there that can add tiles, so it's not much a big problem.

the more i look at it, the more missing features i find. I just came across a review about this phone on YouTube, strangely enough there are some settings from the video are not available on my phone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmj17fDxuYk
The missing settings i was talking about are at 3:03 and at 3:42 in the video.
Yup no Gallery app in this one. I don't like google fotos either, so I disabled it and installed Quick Pic instead. It's a good app.
Hello! Help with the decision, please!
I bought a Nokia 6 in China, the version was 7.0, and the function updated the update 7.1.1 and tried to install it via Recovery from the SD card, at the last stage received an error message. Now the phone is downloaded only in Recovery, and then the download is not. What can you recommend? How to restore the phone? What is the version of the firmware?
Well, adb sideload works on the phone. But I don't know any place to download Roms or OTA files.

the one in the video is the first release version (TA-1000, china exclusive i think). the launcher app is different from the Taiwan release version(TA-1003).
TA-1003's launcher app is a modified version of launcher3, while TA-1000's looks like it's called launcher+(at 3:08 in the video you linked.)

Anyone know how to do this on the nokia 6.1 plus?
Hello, I saw a screen made on my friend's EMUI 4 smartphone. There was an arrow pointing down, that's used to hide the navigation bar on EMUI 4.
Anyways, I don't have that on EMUI 5 (P10 Lite, build 188), it isn't even disabled.
I don't want to download a separate app, which might cause high RAM consume and some big bugs/glitches/problems.
Does anybody know how to enable that option?
Here's a screen:
Unfortunately it can't be done. There is software that adds it, but it has serious problems in some apps and games. The feature seems to have completely vanished from EMUI5.1 and Android 7.
Fortunately, modern apps and games don't have this issue, as they are programmed to show/hide the bar or have it transparent (like the gallery app). This won't help with older apps though. You'll be stuck with the buttons for those. I do wish I could hide them in the gallery. Viewing a full screen image with some transparent buttons on the side is a bit stupid.

Ok, I understand. Do you think that it will come to EMUI 8 as we saw in other phones who already received the beta?
I also tried an app called "Settings Database Editor", it's working just when you want to hide it, but there's no known process which tells the smartphone that, when you swipe up, the navbar must come out.
I followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/root-hide-navbar-via-little-arrow-t3443250
Immersive Settings
Immersive Settings app in Google play?
I think a day or so ago, some news came out that the p10 lite would get emui8.0. If hiding the buttons is possible in the emui8 beta, it would seem the p10 lite would be able to hide them as well. I sure hope so!

Yeah it seems that it's confirmed, I hope that the button will be added on EMUI 8!
This is honestly one of the things that seriously annoys me about Huawei. They are constantly removing features from one EMUI update to the next. You become so used to having certain features while using a device, then as soon as you upgrade to another device, you lose that same feature you've been using for a year, or more! I miss being able to hide the navigation bar as well, and also being able to hide apps in the launcher. It's incredibly infuriating!

Actually... They also add random features without telling anyone. As they added the living images from the Lumia series now to the camera app as well. It's a bit of a mess.
Fortunately, about the hidden apps: you can get them back using a third party app that can do a few config changes on EMUI. Unfortunately not for the navbar, but it is for the hidden apps and enabling custom fonts (partially): emui tweaker.

I haven't gotten that update yet, since my device is branded, but I'm hoping I get the living images soon too, because I think it's awesome! [emoji23]
Regarding EMUI tweaker, I used it for a while, but since the font in the hidden apps folder disappears after a while, and also uninstalling the app removes the tweak, I decided to stop using it. [emoji85] It's still a good app though, but I'd just prefer being able to activate the tweak using ADB commands, but no one seems to know the commands to enable it. Either way though, I might as well just get used to not hiding my apps, since all EMUI versions going forward won't have the setting anyway.

anybody knows how to bring back icons without frame feature for pie on galaxy s9,s9+ or note 9 without launcher? These circle icons with white background are driving me crazy

Totally agree. What's even worse is if you have CONTACTS icons on your home screen (e.g. using contact shortcut widget). They all get a white frame, when the contact pictures were already round framed. The contact faces now get shrunk to a minimum, and they look small, sad and terrible in the frame.
**** What were they thinking? ****
The option to remove the frame has been dropped from the UI. The only option is to load a custom icons set from Themes... I did that and it sort of fixes the issue. Only problem then is I don't really like any of the icons set I've seen in half hour (can't spend more time on this), and after switching icons I now see Icon badges don't show when they should.
Pretty mad altogether. Why, oh why must Samsung always do something to spoil an otherwise very good update?
Also (off topic, but I need screaming about this...) - In my entirely personal opinion, the new PIE icons are ***** to begin with. They have nothing to do with the style of the device and are just goofy. I wasn't a particular fan of the OREO icons, but, in the end, they were WAY better for this device than the new ones.

Notch Killer doesn't work in Android 10, I just tried. The option doesn't show up in the developer section. Maybe there's some additional steps for our devices.
EDIT
Scratch that, it "works", it's just translated to "double display cut out", but it makes no difference to me.

Yeah, I tried different icons and it only showed 5. I guess it's limited to the size of the icons that can fit in that corner.

if you change the display density you get more icons.
I also installed notch killer but somehow it normally displays as Notch Killer in developer settings in A10..lol, how? I don't see any difference though (maybe because of the density).

I know all about that but on Android pie I had more icons without changing any settings. That's what's bothering me
