Could that be the gbwhatsapp developer did not implement this badges functionality? Please correct me if I am wrong.

Maybe consider this app as an alternative solution?

However you will see a nasty warning about phone insecure at every bootup. Locking back the BL will remove this warning

You can search in  version 1 forum. Someone post it there.

got it
Mate 8 B180

Installation / Update instructions:

1. Download the update file
2. Extract
3. Create "dload" folder at the root level of the memory card (internal or external).
4. Copy Update.app in the folder "dload"

As Huawei has removed the item "Local Update" from the update program, you must do the following:

Option 1 Update Mate by ForceUpdate
1. off device
2. Power + Volume down until the update starts

Option 2: About Service
1. in dialer * # * # 2846579 # * # * Enter
2. In menu 4 - Software Upgrade, and then select sdcard Upgrade

During installation, the phone will restart

Haven't gone to B180 yet - working on my notifications issue on B170 - seem to finally nail it so far...

As far as B180 goes - read that the default 3G/4G network connection display on the status bar is gone now if you turn on Wireless...is that true?

Also feedback from XDA mentions that battery life is not as good as B170 ?

B180 should address the notification issue ... they say
i do have the 3G/4G on my network eventhough on wifi

But after update to b180, if connected to wifi no more 4g shown.

Big deal for me when you're using 2 sims - where it will allow me to differentiate which sim is on 2G or 4G - allows me to differentiate the network - I know network name is shown on the left corner - maybe just me being picky when there feature is there since day 1

dude on wifi ... the data will use only wifi for internet ... if not on wifi it will show indicator and u can always set it on sim manager

i am using 2 sims and yes u can see on the Left side also
