Honor 8 has potential but plagued by many bugs
on September 12, 2016
Posted by: KingCoop
Verified Purchase:Yes
At this time I cannot in good faith recommend this phone to anyone. Here are the reasons why:
1. Lack of support. Honor / Huawei were on a social media spree once the device was launching but have all but went silent at this point in regards to customers questions, concerns, feedback. The Honor 8 Community wasn't even setup properly until I provided notice that the link was dead. Since then I haven't seen one response to anything I've posted in the Community.
2. The GPS unit on the Honor 8 is beyond horrible. It'll work from time to time, but on a reliability scale it would rate a 1 out of 5 with 1 being the lowest available score. GPS is important for numerous reasons and this devices GPS is often flaky causing apps to not properly register the devices actual location. On a daily basis I am reminded by the Nest app that my location is reported incorrectly by the Honor 8 which may cause issues with Home/Away Assist. With Uber, if I'm inside buildings sometimes the Honor 8 will put me in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. With Google Maps, it'll jump all over the place when attempting to get driving directions until I actually start the navigation at which point it's able to better locate the device. I have the Honor 8 set at the highest accuracy for tracking using numerous sensors in the device, and yet still location accuracy is garbage. Honor reached out to me and wants to push this issue off as possibly a carrier issue when I haven't had these issues with any previous device.
3. The Bluetooth chip works but cuts out often if the Honor 8 isn't in line of site with the sensor on some Bluetooth accessories being used. I often jog with Beats Powerbeats 2 which have audio cut out if I turn my head the wrong direction while the Honor 8 is in my back pocket while jogging. Didn't have this issue with the same headset using my iPhone 6s, iPhone SE, or Nexus 5X.
4. Phone calls have been hit or miss. Usually the quality of voice calls are great, but many times callers cannot hear what I'm saying as if I'm being cut off while talking. It's almost like it's a one way lane where while the party on the other end is talking, doesn't recognize that I am trying to interject. Again, Honor reached out to me and wants to push this issue off as possibly a carrier issue when I haven't had these issues with any previous device.
5. In addition, there really is no reason why the device doesn't support carrier WiFi calling. It shouldn't be because of costs. The ZTE Axon 7 has support for dual SIMs, upcoming support for Google's Daydream VR platform, and upcoming support for carrier WiFi calling... all at the same price point as the Honor 8. Honor said WiFi calling is dependent on the carrier when my carrier (T-Mobile) fully supports WiFi calling. Honor has chosen not to certify the Honor 8 with T-Mobile's WiFi calling protocol.
6. Competition and pricing for similar phones at this range have better support and communication. ZTE actually responds to its users regarding the Axon 7 and provide a full 2-year warranty at the exact same price point. Google is on the verge of releasing a new device that may be a bit more but will come with much better support. Get it together Honor... or this may be my last device purchased from this company. Heck I'm still within my return period.

Designed for use with most 32" to 55" TVs, this Sony HTXT1 sound system's integrated full-range speakers and dual built-in subwoofers enrich your favorite TV shows, movies and games. The 170W S-Master amplifier effectively powers the unit.

Great sound for a small speaker
on April 29, 2015
Posted by: KingCoop
Verified Purchase:Yes
This speaker looks very elegant under my 36" bedroom LCD and provides for a very nice sound compared to the built-in TV speakers. My main issue is that I connect the two via HDMI and while they are both Sony branded, I still experience some sort of disconnect where the speaker will mute itself and the TV will inform me that it is switching the audio back to the built-in speakers. The only solution appears to be the optical digital connection instead of using the HDMI connection.

Needs more security

Verified Purchase:Yes
I really wanted to like this service but its missing some major features that the competition provide standard. The biggest setback is that the data stored on the company's servers is not encrypted. Pogoplug also throttles bandwidth if you send over 1TB to their servers which can make backups take forever if you have a lot of items to transfer. Lastly the service does not backup all file types which can leave you in a mess if you really need certain files after a crash.

With fifth-generation Intel Core processors, the latest graphics, and faster flash storage, the incredibly advanced MacBook Pro with Retina display moves even further ahead in performance and battery life.* *Compared with the previous generation.

Great features but high price to entry

Apple has done a great job with the MacBook Pro line but they continue to keep the price relatively high compared to other PC vendors. This model has multiple USB 3.0 ports and Thunderbolt ports for using external medium. There is also a SD cart slot that can be used for uploading of digital photos or what not but I use it for additional storage with a flush mount SD card with 128GB of storage. This is in addition to the 128GB SSD drive already built into the machine which cannot be upgraded. As for the exterior, Apple has created a very slim profile device that feels comfortable to work with while portable or using in an office environment. The keyboard feels very nice and the new Force Touch keyboard is very easy to learn. OS X Yosemite is very functional and works great with this hardware and shows no lag. I don't do very intensive things such as video encoding so I'm not sure how well it would run in that setting.

Does this phone support dual sims? can I use the memory slot as second sim?

The US variant does not support dual SIM cards. The slot for a second SIM card is physically present but the Honor 8 will not recognize it. Instead the slot can be used for a MicroSD card. Honor official support has stated that support for dual SIM was not included in the US market to reduce costs.

Yes, the Honor 8 supports T-Mobile's band 12 network along with VoLTE. It does not support VoWiFi for use with T-Mobile's WiFi calling platform.

Pretty much all other retailers are offering clear cases with the phone. I would have ordered from a different seller, but only BestBuy carries the phone in Blue. Does anyone know if Best Buy is also planning to add a free case with the phone?

Best Buy does not currently sell a Honor 8 case and Honor has chosen not to include one in the box.
