C432B170 everything works great (and notifications except Viber) but sudenly one morning when i wake up i realize that all ringtones assotiations with contacts has lost and return to stock ringtones but maybe this has somehow to do with some files that i have transer with Hisuite the day before.(i didnt transfer ringtones folder or rename it and i dont use memory card and use 2 sim).Battery about 40 hours of use with 7 hours screen
C10B172 as far everything works great (and notifications except Viber).I feel that this firware is more....i dont know how to say it...i didnt fing lag to any of the 3 firwares but this one lets say that is more lagless...this was the only rom that google now was installed but this maybe has to do with the installation that i follow. From C432B170 to C10B172... 1.Factory restore 2.Install C10B172 3.Factory restore 4.RE-install C10B172 5.Factory restore Battery about 40 hours of use with 7 hours screen

Absolutely no more notification issues since b170 m now on b180 firmware I don't understand why some users still report such problems. User need to dig deep into settings /notification to customize what sort of notification they need and set the app as protected too I use only stock messaging, whatsapp, maildroid, tweet caster pro where I needed notification. Other app I disabled any notification

Struggling to decide which phone to get. Mate 8 or P9+ or HTC 10. But i think HTC 10 is out of my thought already. Price is RM 3299 in malaysia... Way out of my budget...
Is Mate 8 a good phone? i heard some complaints about the phone camera and also the speaker of te phone is no good. Is this true?

Camera is good enough for me...it is however not in the class of S7e or LG V10. Most of camera reviews on Web was based on early development builds n inaccurately report those camera issues. If you are a camera geek than S7e n V10 is a better choice. It's camera equally good as Note5, Nexus 6p Speaker problem - no such issues Why don't you go and test it yourself to assess better

U cant give a proper rating unil u use the phone for at least a week or so. Thats what i did. I bought the m8, used it for a week before deciding to offload my n5. Once u are used to it, then it becomes fine

From the view of HTC Fans Pro - Simple UI - Superb Great Battery Life - Big and beautiful Full HD Screen - Premium Build Con - I think Sense UI is best UI of all smartphones, you might need time to get used to EMUI, for me..Sense UI ofcourse is better. - Update might be slow compare to HTC - Less custom roms in XDA, if you are not a flasher then i think it will not affect

My main concern is still Sense UI vs EMUI.

QUOTE(donavan1986 @ Apr 26 2016, 10:14 AM) Can you all give me the Pro and Con's of Mate 8? No serious cons Minor cons : - you might need to get used to HW UI . If you don't like just use any 3rd party launcher but than you lose the flexibility to change to any of its large variety of themes - camera is not that super excellent but is good enough for most common folks. Just don't compare it to S7e or LG v10 which has to date the best camera in its class - display is only 1080p but seriously I cannot see any significant differences with those 2K display phones unless one has microscopic vision !! - well it is 6 inches display and not everyone can accept such a big display size ?? Stop looking if you are trying to find the perfect 10/10 phone - it doesn't exist. Even on the renown iphone 6s+ ( which I have) I can write a full essay why it is still imperfect This post has been edited by benny888: Apr 26 2016, 11:32 AM
