Try to restart the phone, I have the same problem. Battery drain drain 10% overnight without wifi or data on.

Screen should  consume most of the battery, I think this is EMUI bug
*
Is your wakelocks and not emui bug
Doze should set in on Marshmallow with phone idle. Even with both wifi n 3g on . You should be looking at most 2-3% drain over 7-8 hours

Guys,  anyone tried unlock bootloader and root?

I want the multiple window function to not be limited to only HuaWei specified apps.  Any advice?
*
I unlock BL and root on my China set. Do check back my posts where I described how to do it
WARNING : Unlock BL will cause a splash screen before HW logo at each reboot WARNING phone is now insecured . This warning CANNOT be removed until you lock back the bootloader

Hi,

Hope this is not a silly question. Can I use

1.  Titanium backup to backup my Mate 8 to MicroSD.
2.  Perform Unlock
3.  Titanium backup to restore everything

Will all my data and apps comes back.

I have not used Titanium Backup for more than 3 years.

You must unlock bootloader to root phone first
Titanium Backup works only on rooted phones
Yes you can select extsdcard to save all your backup
Yes all your app n data will fully be restored

my mate remain unroot bro. so can't check wakelocks. i try to disable Drive and see how.

Many apps auto refresh data such as weather, newsfeed, tweeter etc. Do a check on the refresh data rate and set it to a time frame you are comfortable with. For example you don't need an half hour weather refresh, or a 15 minute tweeter, newsfeed refresh ?? Do a check first on all apps that need internet access for its data

Thanks Benny,

OK my purpose is to unlock bootloader and restore data. Trying to find the easiest way to include WhatsApp video and data. I had not been doing unlock and custom firmware for a long time.

Can I

1. Use Mate 8 backup apps to backup to MicroSD Card
2. Unlock Bootloader - will erase data not sure if all the data
3. After unlock I think personal data and apps is erased.
4. Will use Mate Backup to Restore the backup data from the MicroSD

Will this works.

I had never use HW backup but I think is backup to cloud only and not onto ext sdcard
Unlock BL will erase everything in phone except default stuffs
Whatsapp - just select backup to Google

Hi guys, plan to buy this phone soon, my currently phone is ip6plus n mediapad x1, the things I concern is the big screen n batteries life n is not bad on huawei mediapad x1, just my X1 now is a bit buggy n laggy...so is time to change a new one, prefer huawei cause for the good experience on it n good review I read, mate 8 is now the primary choices on my list,  just one more thing I need to know before I place my order, pls to ask u guys,  does the mate 8 batteries life is better than mediapad X1 or not ? If not too much different or its even better, than I will go straight for the 4gb version
*
For my usage I would said battery life is quite similar with X1
Overall this Mate8 is a very much better phone than X1
You will not regret upgrading to it

Hi, Could someone show a real picture for the Mate 8 Mocha brown?
*
You cannot really see the actual true colors from a photo as each takes the photo differently on different smartphone ( dependent also on lighting condition) or camera. Exception the photographer is really one good skill guy
Personally I had seen all the colors and I feel the Mocha Brown is unique and is my color of choice
Just go to the shop and view it yourself to decide which color you like best

Guys, the device come with pre-installed glass screen but it is on all the screen, blocking the notification led light, it is very dim and I can't see the notification light well.
Do you change the pre-installed glass screen?
*
The Mate 8 doesn't come preinstalled with glass SP. Out of the box is only a normal SP. If your unit has glass SP than is probably being installed on by the seller

Hi Benny,

My Mate 8 4/64GB comes with Glass SP and I am very sure it was not installed by the reseller as the person was my friend and I got it at reseller cost.

I had purchased 2 local sets (4gb/64gb) and it comes with normal SP only. The seller gave me 2 free glass SP plus 2 Huawei 5000mAh powerbank too

Good morning all sifus and bros, may I know if it is easy to remove the original screen protector? Thinking of replacing it with a glass screen protector. The shop sales gave me a free glass SP and wanted to just apply on top of the original one but instead I chose to keep it for later use. Thank you.

Very easy to Peel off. I removed it on day one. Had never like applying any SP on my phones

If you are referring to HW Swype keyboard:

Settings/Advanced settings/Language & Input : Select HW Swype/Settings - just chose what you do not wish

Just switched from Note 5 to Mate 8 today, I'm so not used to the phone, especially with the EMUI, settings, and how everything works. And the multiwindow feature only can support about 8 apps, is it normal? Cause Note 5 can support way more than that.
PS: Not bashing the phone or anything, just giving opinion and asking questions, thanks to all sifus smile.gif

Depend on your app, theoretically it allows up to 16 apps. I had 12 selected

Hey guys, is Nova Launcher suitable for Mate 8? Cause I don't like the iPhone-style apps looks

You will not be able to use the themes feature
You cannot use the multi window by swiping your knuckle across display
Just try yourself to assess more
