Huawei has gained a lot of popularity lately with both Mate (flagship) and Honor (mid-range) series. Honor 8 is the latest addition to the list of mid-budget devices produced by the Chinese company. Upon presentation for the US and EU market, the phone received mostly positive reviews.
However, even though Honor 8 offers good performance for an affordable price, there are some common issues worth mentioning. Users reported various problems with both hardware and software. It seems that the producer addressed some of the problems, but there is a large number of those that they need to resolve. Today we listed for you the known issues and possible workarounds.
Video crash while playing
As some of the users stated, the Honor 8 have a lot of issues with the video playback or streaming. It seems that the video crashes and, on some occasion, a restart is the only solution to get things work again. According to them, the crash occurs in online or offline videos, regardless. On the other hand, the fundament of the problem is YouTube.
We have noticed that the problem is widespread and the main culprit is integration with third-party apps. For the standard videos, first and foremost is to check the format. Honor 8 supports these video formats:
- 3GP
- MP4
- WMV
- RM
- RMVB
- ASF
On the other hand, if the online streaming videos are the ones with issues, make sure that you reinstall the given app or try an alternative. It seems that the Honor 8 have a certain level off incompatibility with some of them. Additionally, if the problem is persistent, you should contact customers support and ask for a replace.
Video recording stutter in third-party apps
While this is not as crushing (no pun intended) as the previous issue, it can be as annoying. Namely, many users reported lag and stutter while recording videos on Snapchat or Instagram story. This often leads to unsynchronized audio and video.
This seems to be related to awkward camera overheating. You should check the top of your phone for temperature changes. If the phone’s temperature is normal, try restarting your phone and clearing the app cache and data. Moreover, you can check your battery temperature by typing this code in your dialer *#*#2846579#*#*.
On the other hand, if the phone is overheated (and that seems to happen often with some users), you’ll have to let it cool down. The camera behavior is not a strong feature of this model since the following default software is underwhelming. We’ll have to wait and see are there any fixes prepared in the next update build.
3G works instead LTE, WiFI won’t connect
Connectivity is a common issue with the Honor 8. A large number of users reported problems related both to Wi-Fi and data networks. The phone won’t connect to a known network for ages or it chooses 3G instead of much faster LTE.
You can try following workarounds for data network issue:
- Switch Network type: Settings>More>Cellular Networks>Preffered Network type. Select LTE and save settings.
- Turn Airplane mode ON and then OFF.
- Reset APN settings: Settings > More > Cellular networks > Access Point Names > Tap Menu > Reset to default.
- Reset Network Settings: Settings > Backup & reset > Network settings reset>Reset Settings.
- Remove SIM card and put it back again.
For Wi-Fi issue try these solutions:
- Reset your router.
- Restart your phone.
- Forget network and reestablish a Wi-FI connection.
The Huawei confirmed that they are aware of the Wi-Fi issue. We can hope that they’ll fix it with the next patch.
Echo while calling
Some users reported a problem with in-call speaker and mic malfunction. According to them, they hear the echo while speaking on the phone. The issue is more present when the loudspeaker is ON.
This is a common issue with many Android-powered phones. Most of the time it is related to pre-installed Google app called TalkBack. Our advice is to turn it off.
No battery percentage was shown
Honor 8 isn’t presenting battery percentage on the home screen by default. Most of the users are accustomed to that feature and they want to enable it but don’t know how. And this is the simplest way:
- Pull down Notification panel.
- Tap Battery icon.
- In the upper right corner, you’ll see 3 icons.
- Tap Battery icon that is in the middle.
- Choose one of the 4 featured styles.
Notifications are not displayed when screen is off
Some of the users were left in disbelief when their push notifications from various apps stopped. It can be a quite annoying experience that ruins all-around impression about the phone. Which is pretty great in all manners.
Huawei made a strange decision to improve battery life by completely disabling the notifications while the screen is off. Luckily, that can be changed in a few simple steps.
- Go to Settings.
- Tap Battery Settings.
- Choose Protected apps.
- Add apps that you want to receive notifications from.
We hope you’ll find this article helpful. Additionally, we are sure that the phone will function much better once it gets updated to Nougat 7.0. The update cycle started on 10th February so be sure to check your phones.

By far the most irritating thing about this phone (other than the bloat!!!) is the “smart” unlock. For some reason, you can have it unlocked when paired with one (or more) bluetooth products, but NOT your home WiFi. This seems to go against the battery-conservation efforts of Huawei, but it is just silly for me… maybe if you have a smart watch or something it is fine, but I’m constantly turning off the d*$% lock at home for no reason at all.
Additionally, while the word all over the internet is that rooting your phone or installing an alternative firmware will void your warranty, the actual warranty I found on the Huawei website is amazingly sparse and has no definitions. Huawei has one warranty for all of its products (not just cells) available here https://store.hihonor.com/us/warrantypolicy. There are no definition of terms (for instance, damage caused by “Improper testing, operation, maintenance, installation, or any alteration or modification of Product” is not covered by the warranty, but there is no definition of what “improper” or any other term in the warranty is–this is just untenable and in my opinion, unenforceable. I contacted Huawei by email a week ago to get a clarification of terms and/or a warranty with complete contractual language, with no response as of yet.
Very disappointing.

When plugged in with headphones (via jack, bluetooth, wifi,.. anything) Honor 8 uses a chimed DING sound for notifications. I just bought an expensive handsfree earpiece and that chime sound almost destroyed my eardrums. (Since Huawei won’t probably do a thing to fix this, I’ll just try to get my money back by returning the headsets…)

Hi I have a sound problem. It happened a few days ago.
When I call someone, their voice volume is so low is practically inaudible. However, when I put it on speaker or use headphones it’s ok. I’ve checked all volume levels and they are up full. Any ideas please?

Hello! I am currently having the issue that my screen is sometimes nonresponsive to the touch. Even after turning the phone on and off and closing all the open programs, it still has a huge lag or opens things when I’m attempting to scroll. When this is happening, it also won’t identify my fingerprints. Any advice?

Hi, i got quite an annoying issue with my Honor 8. Pretty much every time i connect my headphones it activates some voice activated search app, and also turns the volume up and down, pauses music and hangs up calls and changes songs when i listen to music.
This only happens when the headphones are plugged in, and ive tried with several different ones.
I would be very grateful if anyone could tell me what’s wrong, thanks 🙂
Just a little point. How do I download video and pictures to my PC. With my other phone a cable connection gave me a file / folder point to select from DCIM to copy or move to the hard drive. These don;t have that option . Is there an option to send the pictures etc.. I don’t have any memory card fitted in the phone as their is no slot. Just a sim card which I don’t want to remove.

Hi, I am having problems with my Honor 8. I just got my phone on May, and as of today, I am experiencing problems when it comes to uninstall applications. My home-screen is in Drawer Mode, so you need to press the main button to access all the apps. When I try to uninstall an application, it does it correctly, but then appears a message saying “Drag empty area to move the page position” and because this message appears in the middle of nowhere, I cannot enter to my apps, and it seems like the screen frozens The only thing that I can do is to scroll down the notification bar. What can I do?

I’ve got one more question, is Honor 8 moisture resistant? Not water, moisture, because i left my phone for several hours in my room which gets ton of moisture if i forget to turn on heating, and when i came back my phone was ice cold and had alot o moisture on the screen, thanks
On paper – yes. But we advise you not to hold your phone in that kind of surrounding for an extended period of time. One or two times shouldn’t make a difference or cause any hardware malfunction. You’re welcome, we are always glad to help.

Could you please tell me where exactly do i find option to downgrade resolution from 1080p to 720p? As far as i know it is possible but i can’t find it…

I have a sudden issue where my audio stops at no particular interval, I thought it was related to my spotify app but have noticed now with videos and my audible app also it’s driving me insane!!
Hello, Hazel. Make sure to check the permissions for those individual apps. Next, you can wipe cache partition or perform a factory reset. If the problem is still there, there’s a great chance that hardware is malfunctioning.

Hello,
I spent countless hours with Honor 8 Customer Support. They are no help at all. I can not set original mail app. At the end of process I am getting message: “could not establish connection to the server due to untrusted or invalid certificate”. When I work with other mail apps I can utilize only these which are not using any credentials and are unsafe. Anyone can help, please?

Hello, Peter! It’s most likely that your phone have hardware issues. Sudden shutdowns are a certain indicator that something is wrong with the battery or other components.

There is problem with my Email icon, It gives an error couldn’t Connect to server. Checked POP3, IMAP settings all correct in spite of that also it doesn’t work. Please help how to resolve.
Hello, Karen! Your best bet is to try and delete the email account and then establish it afterward. That should resolve this and similar problems.

Hi, i got Honor 8 a week ago, and it was already showing OS 7 update. i update and use the cell, but now i’m facing some issues, like call distortion, and ends during the call after hardly 1 minute, call connectivity and disconnection issue. WhatsApp notifications in spite of doing and setting all the advised settings; couldn’t get when screen is off. Sometimes it asked for dual authentication and sometime just unlock with finger print. I’m getting irritated by this, do you’ve solution for this, do let me know kindly.

Phone is not reading contacts correctly after updating to nougat. Everyone reads as “unknown sender”. Same issue no matter the message app. Factory reset worked for a day, now it’s acting up again.
Hello, Duane!
Have you tried clearing message app cache/data? Additionally, you may want to update your messaging apps. The last thing that comes to my mind is deleting and resetting Google account. Have in mind that will work only if you backed up your contacts earlier.
