Download the b320 firmware and flash it exactly the same way as you flashed B321

Hi uncle benny, after i revert back to 320 the battery drain same like 321. did we need to reset it after upgrade or downgrade ?

my SOT not more than 5 hours. thank you

No need but you can do it if you so wish
Check your wakelocks first - these are usual culprits draining battery in background

yup... but now waiting for emui 4.1
battery was superb in b180 and many say b320 even better...
can't wait to get godlike battery!😎😎😎
*
Waiting for OTA could take a long long time. Since B180, we had seen updates with b191, b320 and latest is b321
Just download firmware and flash manually : see post#4

1 You can download directly into your phone
2 Not necessary to unlock bootloader
3 Practically impossible to brick since you are updating official firmware

There is no b320 or b321 firmware for it yet

Hi , I am with B320 (upgrade from B180)  but I could not change my theme, customise my wallpaper and lockscreen. Anyone experience same thing?

Strange issue you have there ! I could easily change these and there is no change in its format vs b180. Could you had disabled your themes app?

benny888, is this the only way to flash L29 international rom into our AL10? hmm.gif
*
Flashing is same method in all versions
Just make sure you download correct firmware matching your model
AL10 is China sourced set
You cannot flash l29 firmware onto AL10 unless your bootloader is unlock. I am not sure by such flashing will phone be bricked ? I had tried before on previous HW phones and it was OK. But no idea whether it would be same for this phone

Seriously just one bad encounter and you discourage others???
Personally I had dealt with them more than 10x past 5 years and each was a pleasant good experience

still got 48% left after using for a whole day with 4 hours sot involved 3 hour off screen music and I'm still on b180 version...
a lot of them here say in b320, battery optimization is better!
*
Users are mixed in b320 or b321
Personally battery life had been great on b320 or b321
You need to try yourself to assess
You can always downgrade back to b180 without data loss

Tubemate is working well on all firmware versions
What do you mean cannot be install?
Just download its apk from its website

Wow a 6020 mah battery !!!
I cannot imagine what SOT I could get from it
These are my SOT from my present n ex phones ( above 4000mAh)
Mate8 : 10-11
P8max : 12-13
Mi Max : 11-12
A9 pro : 13-14

My usage mainly 80% on internet stuffs with no gaming

Does the mate 8 support stable 4G connection on dual sims?
im still torn between mate 8 and p9 plus.  Note that i dont need a great camera,just one with good battery,decent screen and processor for most apps compatiblity,no lags for long term and good gps.  After the nightmare of facing the death of my lg g4 and note 4 in the same month, i really dont care in getting a fully packed phone anymore. Also considering the huawei nexus 6p
*
I had used so many type of Androids /iphones too and I must say Huawei phones had always the strongest 3g/LTE
You can only have one sim on 4g anytime though both are 4G capable. This is true for most smartphones to date except for the recent OP3 where one can be 4g n the other is 3g only. I think all newer phones will be 4g/3g capable instead of current 4g/2g

Hi Benny - is that true? If so then I would trade my s7 Edge for this function - I always only had 4G and 2G on both sims...would love to have 4G / 3G ...my ex mate 8 was the same as well , together with the OP2
*
OP3 is what I read at XDA n hardwarezone
I had never tested its 4g/3g capability
Do find out more at the OP3 thread?
OP3 camera n battery life is average only vs S7e
