Hi guys, thinking of picking up this phone from Lazada for roughly RM1300,including postage and a free silicone casing. Is there anywhere that I can get it cheaper for or is this the normal pricing?

Ordered my phone already guys,RM1258,including a Xiaomi Mi Piston 3 in-ear plugs. Thank God for the Rm200 Star War commemoration voucher! My purchase also includes that Rm48 protective casing,but Lazada tried to pull a smooth one by listing it as RM88. No can do man,I've seen it at Vmall,hahaha.

Just got my phone yesterday, and it's fantastic! Really glad I made the transition from iPhone back to Android. The fingerprint scanning is fast, doubletap to wake is amazing and the camera is pretty effing good for a RM1200 phone. The free cover they gave was shite tho,I got the white one,kinda looks like it'll yellow out in time. The speaker is also quite loud for a mono. All in all,i'd recommend it for the price range!

QUOTE(calintztan @ Dec 23 2015, 02:18 AM) There's a new update B130 available. Really? My version is still at 120B, and it said no new update is available. The update is made through OTA right? |

QUOTE(mydurian @ Dec 23 2015, 08:56 AM) B140 jor. What version are you running now? Tried few times, from B120. Failed on all zip downloaded. And how this http://www.androidauthority.com/huawei-hon...se-date-661844/ KNS. Upgrade the internal memory only, and can get Marshmallow already.  Yeah,the practice is a little shady, a mere internal upgrade and suddenly they get Marshamallow running out of the box, but somehow I doubt that model will get an official launch in Malaysia. We didn't even get the 64gb variant of the Honor 7,hahaha. |

QUOTE(jack hobber @ Dec 24 2015, 09:45 AM) b140 is for Europe version only , is has pro camera , msome malaysian set already updated to b130 version via ota , you can updating too via local update Eh,B130 is available? Pardon me questioning, but why does my phone say no update is available if checked for any OTA update? Why do some people get it early, and some don't? and where do I download the update file for my phone? I assume I just put the update file in my phone and go to the update menu in the phone to update it. |

QUOTE(Nuzzary @ Dec 25 2015, 08:33 AM) You registered for BETA marshmallow? No,am not. Since it was only a beta, I figured no need to hassle myself with any bugs or anything. Also, XDA forums has the 121B update right up to 140B. Is installing European firmware over our Malaysia phone something you'd advise against or is it ok?Also, Merry Christmas guys! |

QUOTE(Nuzzary @ Dec 25 2015, 11:39 AM) I was using euro ROM for a while.. Once change (unlock bootloader) warranty is void.. It's a personal preference Installing Euro firmware over our phone requires unlocked bootloader? In that case, i much rather stick with B120 for now,hahaha. What firmware are you on as of now tho? |

QUOTE(mydurian @ Dec 27 2015, 09:53 AM) Currently on B120. Thanks for the reply! Looks like the general consensus is B120 is the most stable version so far. The european variant is receiving constant stream of update tho,lucky them.Now awaits their beta program release for Marshmallow. Should be out by Jan 2016. { Fingercross } |

QUOTE(interquad @ Dec 27 2015, 05:36 PM) Hi, im thingking of buying this phone, I read alot but the gpu lack of performance, but how bad is it? Can it handle average games? Yep,the gpu is not something to write home about,but if you really wanna max it out,there's an option in the settings that allow for a more cpu and gpu intensive configuration,otherwise,it's on smart power plan by default.FYI I'm not a heavy gamer on mobile phone, I tend to play simple games. But the battery is what really shines on this phone. For rm1200, you get a phone with 3gbs ram, fingerprint scanner, double tap to wake, and an amazing battery life. Pretty amazing to me. |

QUOTE(interquad @ Dec 27 2015, 07:56 PM) Thanks! how bout the gps lock time? is it fast? Gpu lock time? Sorry,but i'm not quite familiar with that term,haha.I think that is another stuff I need to know about. For now my choice is Honor 7 > 1+X. Thinking of buying the phone tonite using rm100 voucher + cashback, got any other good deal?  Yeah,for this price point,you have the choice of Zenfone 2, Honor 7 and OPX. Believe me, I wanted to get an OPX, but hearing Brightstar is the warranty guarantor, i said fuck it, that phone is not worth getting tangled with their after sales service. If you're phone is guaranteed by BS, and if it breaks, you send it for others to fix, don't send it in for warranty. Trust me. |

QUOTE(scoutfai @ Dec 27 2015, 08:13 PM) hey guys I have a major issue here need help! Best bet if you updated a phone through ota is a factory reset. Updating through OTA might leave you with bits of glitch,not unheard of.After update from the OTA which solve the whatsapp notification issue recently, it is discovered that my honor 7 will not receive charge when the phone is turned on. The phone can only be charged if I turn it off completely. Very weird response if you ask me. Since the phone can be charged when it is turned off completely, I believe the USB cable, the charger, the USB hole on the phone are all fine. So I am guessing this is another OS bug by Honor 7. But I wish to know does other users encounter this issue? For those who have this issue, have you found a solution? |

Hey guys,is it just me,or is the double tap to wake feature on this phone a bit iffy? Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work. Hell,sometimes it registers the few first taps but fails to open tje screen. Aftee the second double tap,you can see it that password is tapped already.
Anyone understand what i'm getting through here? |
