Was disappointed while i was playing with the camera in my living hall yesterday night. Lightening was not as ideal. Had carry high hopes with the camera and when the pictures came out looking washed out I was not happy. Any way I will test more on that.

Here are some pics taken during the day. Results are pretty good. Here are some samples:-

Warning high res pictures.

Hi,

Anyone facing issue with notifications? Not getting notifications for whatsapp, emails and instagram until I open the apps. Already turn on to run in the background during off screen. Any way to fix this? Thanks.

many times, i will receive notification (emails, texts, etc) only after I have unlocked the phone. initially i thought it was the setting, but then from time to time i still receive incoming mail n text when the phone is locked. so what's wrong here?
*
I thought I was the only one with these issues. Even after i set the apps to run in the background like for whatsapp, 7 out of 10 times i wont get the notification till i open the whatsapp. Google fit also doesnt update the info till I open the app. Software is really killing the great hardware ranting.gif ranting.gif ranting.gif

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 -

Hi Benny,

The latest build for mate 8 is out NXT-L29C636B170. Is this compatible for my device build number NXT-L29C636B103? Thanks.

Definitely - notice the firmware codes are exactly similar to your 103 except last 3 digits ! In fact I remember reading some users here already flashed it - do check back

Alright thanks. Will try and see thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Guys,

Would appreciate if you guys can post up a pic of your phones temperature at rest and in use ( browsing the web). I think my phone is running way hot to be normal. One pic is at rest well the other is just doing some web browsing. It gets hot.

As uncle benny shared, we also didnt expect to have update in a frequent manner but we did. Hopefully this is not a one off thing.

I have not deal with Huawei service center but it seems to me they were trying to sell the premium service with Mate S (2 years warranty, 1 year screen coverage). You may claimed it fail in Msia because with Mate 8 in Msia i believe the focus is price thus warranty is now only 1 year. However, they are still selling this premium service in Singapore market.

Service centre provides top notch service. Had heating issues with my mate 8. Had it checked and after 1 hour got a new phone as a replacement. thumbup.gif

how do you justify your set has heating issue? just curious.  biggrin.gif

The phone would get very hot after a 2 minute call. I guessed they tested and found that it was indeed a problem with the phone.
