QUOTE(benny888 @ Mar 12 2016, 07:03 PM) Check your firmware at : settings/About phone/Build Number To get your unlock code ( only after 14 days registration of HW ID) , email to HW : mobile@huawei.com giving them your phone details : Model - IMEI : the first top one will do Serial number : Product ID : For Product ID : Bring up the dialpad and enter the characters below. An 8-digit ID will then be displayed. *#*#1357946#*#* Just sign up a HW ID at HW main site using email address : LINKOnce you had done that , just sign in at your phone at Settings/Huawei ID ah icic. thank you. my firmware last 4 digit is b103. |

QUOTE(benny888 @ Mar 13 2016, 08:21 AM) Absolutely fine with the camera...all those reported issues were with earlier development builds If you are unhappy with the camera than is probably hardware related Just check youtube many reviewers are happy with it It is not in the class of LG V10, G4 but comparable to Note5, Nexus 6p Finally photo shot quality again heavily depends on one demands on it - camera enthusiasts /geeks would had a higher demand. I am just a simple point and shoot photographer and to date all my current phones Nexus 6P, V10, Lumia 950xl and iphone 6s+ - all photo shots I am happy with it And if you can, try to update firmware - latest is b160 for international models. Any lower number means your set is on old firmware. I read on XDA most users get b152 out of box there's no update... check ledi. need to flash ourselves? don't feel like flashing anything yet on new phone... just want root  |

QUOTE(benny888 @ Mar 13 2016, 10:17 AM) That is always the biggest problem with M'sian models of all HW phones I had used. Firmware is either outdated and updates are very slow You can download the latest firmware from XDA Flashing new firmware is easy. Just download the firmware file Extract it till you see a dload folder. If you don't see it, just copy the extracted files into a folder named dload Copy this dload folder onto ext SDcard Boot the phone into flashing mode : switch off. Than press both vol up/vol down and power button simultaneously. Once you see the boot up, release the power button only. When you see the firmware being update than letgo the vol buttons Normally all your data will remains . It would just take 2-3 minutes to complete flash/update the firmware i googled and found this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/gen...r-link-t3317588there's no version for our malaysian version... NXT-L29C636Bxxx oh well. |

QUOTE(benny888 @ Mar 13 2016, 11:15 AM) You can use ANY of the firmware as long as is L29 model. B160 latest version is Euro version I seriously doubt you can ever see any updated Msian version yet - really? hmm... think i'll wait for awhile. i scout the thread and found this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...7&postcount=204thailand have it...maybe it will be released to us soon? or at least the manual ota file will be uploaded soon. thanks for the tips benny. |

QUOTE(WyjSwmW @ Mar 13 2016, 02:19 PM) Anyone got dissapointed that this phone only got FHD display on a huge 6" instead of a QHD? or only me? The main reason I chose this phone was for the full HD display on a huge 6inch screen+huge 4k batt.  The other option in my mind was Samsung Galaxy a9, but news of it in Malaysia. 2k res may be nice but it also drains more batt. For me I am fine with phone staying at 1080p.
