Hi,
Just ordered the Mate 8 (64GB / Brown) should be here in the next few days.
Looking to join this club, should I unlock it or root it immediately.

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. jackdon Mate 8 4GB/64GB |

QUOTE(xtemujin @ May 15 2016, 05:09 PM) A lot of us are having issues with the Mate 8 notification bar. I believe this is due to the apps been close when the screen is off, you can turn it on at the battery manager. I had this issue my Bluemail which I am using. After keeping it running when the screen is off I get notification.My Deliveries and Trackchecker mobile notification is not working.  |

QUOTE(benny888 @ May 15 2016, 01:47 PM) You must unlock bootloader to root phone first Thanks Benny,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 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. jackdon |

QUOTE(benny888 @ May 17 2016, 06:00 PM) I had never use HW backup but I think is backup to cloud only and not onto ext sdcard Benny,Unlock BL will erase everything in phone except default stuffs Whatsapp - just select backup to Google FYI the Backup in the Tools on the Mate 8 support backup to SD Card, Internal Storage, USB Storage and Computer. Will give that a try once I get my high speed 64GB MicroSD card tomorrow. Thanks for the reply. jackdon |

QUOTE(yc1437 @ May 17 2016, 11:34 PM) Did you backup both apk and data (need to check both option)? I just put in a 90/45mb high speed MicroSD in and tested the HW Backup. It can backup everything including the data. So maybe this week end I will try to unlock, then it will reset the phone and I will try to restore. If this works then it would great.jackdon |

QUOTE(benny888 @ May 19 2016, 08:33 AM) 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. jackdon |

QUOTE(bissa @ May 19 2016, 11:40 AM) My set was 100% sealed and it had all the stickers included the one which has Epic battery, Ultra Focus and all that sticker info but there is indeed a glass screen installed under this sticker. I asked the seller and he said it didn't install it. Set is L29C185 4GB middle east/Europe version. I attached some screens. My Glass SP that comes with my Mate 8 does not cover the front end camera and the other sensor beside. It does cover the led indicator. Your photo shows that it covers the camera and sensor. |

QUOTE(latte36 @ May 30 2016, 11:38 AM) The video recording on this phone fails la. I think you got a faulty unit, just go to SC to get a replacement. Your units seems to have so much problem. It is that simple, faulty then must go fix it. That is what the warranty is about.Everytime got something funny to record, its out of focus  Just my 2 sens worth |

QUOTE(funnyman @ Jun 5 2016, 09:58 AM) Hi all, Email ?I found a problem after updating to B320 or is it mine only? My emails would close by its own after I load additional emails shown on the first page. After it completely loaded the emails, it close automatically and when you open the email app again, you will need to load all emails again and this happens all the time now. I tried searching for a specific email, I click to it, it would download andbas soon as it is completely downloaded and before I get to read them, it just close on me. Anyone with such problem? Which email client are you using? |
