Whatsapp notification bug now hitting me past 2 days. Seems is quite a common problem reported based on user feedback at XDA
Sometimes the whatsapp notification doesn't showup at status bar while it does at times. Anyway is not a critical issue for me
It was fine previously
My maildroid notification remains good

my whatsapp notification is a total failure untill the latest B156 OTA update, everything is working good now. hmm.gif

guys, please refer to the link below on Huawei phones selling in China on RRP prices.

http://www.vmall.com/list-36


Huawei Mate 8 is priced cheaper than Mate S in China, Mate 8 64GB at RMB3699 and Mate S 64GB at RMB4199.
With current currency conversion rate, i bought my Mate 8 directly from China at RM2.4k. So i am no surprise if Mate 8 is launch officially at that price here. But i still insist on buying the NXT-AL10 unit which is the China domestic unit because traditionally, China Huawei unit has more frequent and earlier OTA on its firmware update compare to their international units such as Mate7, P8 series and X2. Even most of the developers in XDA forum are working on China units, same goes to Mate 8. smile.gif

what's with the fuss man? i coming to Mate8 from Note4. despite the battery life test in gsmarena, in real life usage, the Mate8 battery life is way better than Note4 as real life comparison. i can hardly drain and deplete my Mate 8 in 24hours usage, with FB, whatsapp, wechat, line, viber, beetalk, kaokaotalk, icq, bbm, twitter, instagram, 17 and etc signed in. i think the only phone can beat Mate8 in battery life will be Lenovo P1 and Huawei X2 with 5000mah.

and i somehow prefer the screen on the Mate8's FHD screen, given me coming from 2k screen on Note4. if you really die die want to have the 2k screen psychology symptom in your phone, look else where. simple and easy. There is reason why Huawei die die do not want to put 2k screen in their phones yet. lol. tongue.gif rolleyes.gif

LG V10 is undoubtedly the camera king amongst all the Androids I had used to date
I would say Mate 8 camera is equally as good if not better than Note5 n Nexus 6P. Noise ? I don't see this as a problem at all. Few minutes usage is often inefficient to assess
I had used all these phones n currently keeping the Nexus 6P ( plan to sell) n Mate 8 , LG V10

Just received notice of 2nd update on firmware. This is the second in my 3 weeks usage

The procedure to get the unlock code has change slightly. Previously you just need to email mobile@huawei.com. Now you can easily obtain it immediately. I got mine within secs. You can only get the code after 14 days you had register your HW ID. Just select "Unlock Bootloader" in the page. No need to select any phone model yet

http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=hw...ad&mod=list#_=_

With the unlock BL, you can now install custom recovery TWRP and root the phone

This is what HW reply me :

Dear User,

Huawei Customer Service is pleasure to be at your service,sorry to bring you the trouble,if you want to unlock your phone, you should meet these conditions as follow:
1.Please register your Huawei ID in our official website http://huawei.com/en/  on your phone.
2.Log in your Huawei ID for continuously 14 days.
3.Each Huawei ID should not apply for the unlock code more than twice within half years.If you meet the information,please go to http://emui.huawei.com/en/ and click the 'download'button to login your Huawei ID other than any other third party ID to apply for the unlock code.
