I think you will be more than happy n simply amazed at Mate 8 battery life. Even though its battery capacity is only 23-33% additional over say Nexus 6P, LG V10 its usage life is close to double of these 2 phones. This is based on my usage

wa nice to hear u say so good things bout the battery. biggrin.gif

i didn't want 6p due to the 2k screen... if it was 1080p i would have bough that instead, since i prefer stock google.

a chinese guy just called, saying that he is from XXX company (he talked so fast that i cannot hear the name of the company). he said i have purchased the 64gb space grey mate 8 from gemfive, but there is no such unit and that gemfive had made a mistake. bla bla bla.

he said he has received the stock and there are only two versions for the 64gb model, either gold or mocha gold. i was like, "mocha gold? not mocha brown?" he then told me that officially it should be mocha gold as that's what stated on the box of the phone (really??). i told him that i will take the mocha gold (aka brown) version. he said he will post the phone tomorrow!

even tho i have emel gemfive yesterday, telling them to switch my phone from space grey to mocha brown, it seems that they didn't deliver the message to the (real) seller. luckily they called me directly. sigh.

nice update bro. hope our units get posted tomorrow. i wonder if their courier send on saturday?

i'm not sure what courier service they gonna use (i bet gemfive oso dunno)
let's hope that we will receive it tomorrow late afternoon or saturday. some companies do arrange special delivery on saturday, even there was once i received my parcel on sunday, delivered by poslaju. but don't expect too much lah (expectation = disappointment).

oso, if you check gemfive, it seems that there's another seller selling mate 8! cheaper by Rm 10!

wow rm10 cheaper AND got free case... wonder what case. lol.

i oledi order another case tho. biggrin.gif

those of u bought with gemfive can pm them on facebook to ask about your order.

i find that their website is slow at processing. their admin can give you better answer.

they will send email to you if its shipped out, so thats something, however for me when i received the email, the website still didn't update as shipped.

as i already received the phone, even the website still write processing and in transit... slow update.

hi benny, read that root guide u posted , it says to :

Option 1: Make a Huawei ID on your phone and stay signed in for 14 days and go then online to unlock your bootloader and it should work on the website.
https://uniportal.huawei.com/account...hod=toRegister

make a huawei id on your phone, how? i go to settings, accounts, add account, no make huawei id option... and if i make huawei id on website, where do i sign in on my phone?

oh and the firmware... not sure where to check but its december 2015 build.
