QUOTE(un_id @ Jun 4 2016, 09:22 PM) My batt today.. 6 hours+ SOT with still 30%++ juice left.. i think can achieve up to 8h SOT.. Weekend usage for browsing, iFlix (increase brightness when watching movies), spotify and a bit of gaming.. no optimization or battery saving.. not bad.. Good, I am satisfied with this phone. So far its the best I had after Mediapad X1, Lenovo Phab Plus. I have two version, one china version and the other one is international version. Don't seem much different between both, except some minor software changes that I notice. International version, current firmware DAV-701L-B005 China version, current firmware DAV-703L-B029 I saw some message that that are testing lolipop for this phone, not sure when it will be release officially. Anyway, that is for china version. Not sure if it will ever make it to international version. |

Let me see if that can be installed.Could you share your note taking experience with it, preferably with Microsoft's OneNote. Thanks! But overall experience, good. Especially the sound. One of the best I ever had. |

QUOTE(karheng @ Jun 6 2016, 09:39 AM) So far 6.0 no problem. I read many users got problem in the forum but I am ok with it. Thanks Camera can use professional mode. It can screen recording also. Battery life feel can last longer. if your OTA not work, you may try this link. All in chinese steps but I think it's not difficult to understand it. 5.1_b029 - 6.0_b211 http://club.huawei.com/thread-9237976-1-3.html 1. download the update.zip file ( no need unzip it after download completed ) - 1.13GB 2. copy to SD card/dload ( create new folder if don't have ) 3. go to settings>updater. * take your own risk. as i know some of the mate 8 user also using this method to get latest update. |

QUOTE(karheng @ Jun 7 2016, 09:33 AM) Nope, it went into bootloop. I tried force update a couple times, it just stuck at huawei logo during bootup. Something is not right with the firmware downloaded. I download again, same thing happen. I downloaded back the previous version and do force update, it is now working fine. |

QUOTE(un_id @ Jun 7 2016, 01:41 PM) Yes, I reverted back to B029. I suspect the file is not complete. Although the update completed successfully on the phone, it will go into bootloop. And when installing the update, it is too fast. Even when I reverted back to B019, the amount of time for installation is almost twice.I left my phone on bootloop whole night yesterday, lucky lcd still OK. When on bootloop, I cannot turn off the phone. It will always restart itself and stuck at huawei logo. |

QUOTE(karheng @ Jun 7 2016, 01:57 PM) have you unzip the update file? Yes, I have unzip. Done both, put on dload folder and put on root of the SD card. The correct method is put on on dload folder. There will be 4 folders and UPDATE.APP after unzip. I am also confuse the step mentioned in the forum. Should zip or not zip to SD Card/dload folder. You can try again. By the way, i notice the update.app file is very small. As my know dealing with Huawei phone all this while, this is the major update file. The file that I downloaded is less than half of the size of B029. And I compare with my old Xi and Mate 7, all the update.apps are usually large file. I wonder if this is the one that cause the bootloop. |

QUOTE(joytest @ Jun 7 2016, 03:08 PM) Guys, want to ask....I recall when I had my X1, there was a Huawei app that allowed me to mirror ANOTHER PHONE screen to the X1. There is Multi-screen option under shortcuts. Not sure if it can mirror to any other phone, haven't tried beforeI was able to mirror my daughter's Mi3 onto the X1 and control the Mi3. Is there a similar app in the P8 or your other large-screened Huaweis ? I'm thinking to trying it out on the Mi Max if available. I recall that there was some apk that was needed. |

QUOTE(karheng @ Jun 7 2016, 03:28 PM) how big is the UPDATE.APP from the zip file? Here show 61.1MB. the normal update.app file for update is above 1GB. For B029, the update.app file is over 2.7GB. Did you manage to update your phone using the zip file that you have uploaded?Not sure it's corrupted or not... info from guide: other thing need to take note is make sure SD card got at least 4GB space, format is FAT/NTFS. I am using 32GB sd card formatted in FAT. I have done update for many huawei phone using the same sd card, should not be a issue. |

QUOTE(karheng @ Jun 7 2016, 04:12 PM) Not sure what wrong. After unzip is 1.7GB. I update thru OTA when they starting at forum. It seem that the version that you have updated in beta version. It could be your phone is registered as beta tester, therefore you are getting the update. I went to Emui China site, which is official huawei site, and the latest official version is still B029. I am not sure if our phone if different. I bought my phone from aliexpress, not by local seller. But this shouldn't be any issue since they also import from China. Have you try install HiSuite thru computer and do update? ( the icon got arrow up is the system update) If the phone is not registered as beta tester user, there will not be any update available regardless if you connect via hisuite or not. I will just then wait for the official version to be release. I think it will take some time. Anyway, I am currently still happy with my phone. |
