Nilkin case is hard case right? Not TPU type is it?
I'm looking for TPU case that can absorb drop impact.
Currently considering either choose ringke or spigen case.
*
Nilkin nature is soft and very thin...not so good protection in my opinion..they have hard case as well but dont think it covers the bottom and top of the phone....

I'm thinking of Spigen right now

Just realised something.

Does your mate 8 wake up when u receive sms/whatsapp or any notification?

Wake up as in the screen lights up.

Secondly, i enable whatsapp to show in lock screen, ntg also hmm.gif
edit : solved for both. just in case u are wondering like me, if u turn on pattern lock for security, u cant have lock screen notifications and it wont turn on screens when received.
*
Don't have such issue - I'm using pin for security as I'm using finger print sensor. it only allows me to put in this method if i'm using finger print - else if i use pattern it won't allow me to use finger print

Does finger print sensor allow lock screen notification and turns on screen when therr are msgs?

Edit: tried all, only no security allows. Pin, passcode, pattern all dont allow
Yes. But u cant use pattern security lock and u have to enable/allow whatsapp (for example) to show in lock screen. Im getting it now but previously with pattern lock, it doesnt show.
*
Are you using fingerprint sensor?

Yeah already read it. Kind of a waste of hardware that I already have. Well not wasted just slow charging. Decent SOT as in compared to normal use lol. That was hardcore gaming.

Yeah I was surprised too. The camera is not as good as the G4. It also shoots in 16MP at 4:3 instead of 16:9 like the G4 which I prefer. It's good enough for social media sharing but it's definitely not the best out there.
*
Its decent enough - i tried to compare IP6+, 1+2 and Mate 8, the mate 8 is quite ok - can't tell the difference much...this was done during late evening time....haven't tried night shots yet

If using for social media - won't be able to tell the difference

Other than Protected Apps setting, you need to set Allowed in Setting > Apps > Advanced > Ignore Battery Optimization for any apps encounter no notification issue. This fix my Gmail Inbox no notification problem.

If problem still persist, you may want to wipe Cache via Recovery or wipe apps data and reconfigure again. Hope this helps.
*
Hmm..I checked - but not all apps are in there - Gmail is not there for example...the default huawei mail , whatsapp, line, wechat etc is there..but not gmail

One thing I realized also - which i forgot based on my Honor 7 experience is when you make any changes to Huawei phones, especially notifications is - reboot the phone for the settings to take effect.

I'm wondering if you have the gmail option under Ignore Batt optimization - I don't see gmail on my list for some reason...but it is working fine....so far

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 ?

I had never seen the 3g/4g display even on its first firmware till b170 n b180 with WiFi on. So I had never missed such a feature
Similarly too for my previous China set
Battery life I don't see any significant difference w b170
*
FYI Benny - B170 firmware - 4g network connection shown while I'm on wireless...

Which area you stay lah uncle? I've been a Umobile user since like 3 yeara ago and i got spotless 4g coverage in my area in Pantai Dalam. Only pay Rm32 every month. Happy with it.
*
Me too - I just converted to U mobile from Digi due to their Hero plan and so far I'm very happy with the speed of its LTE network and reception....but i do notice it will fall back to Maxis Edge when travelling sometimes...and not 4G in the northern states....but Klang Valley so far so good

After using the mate 8 for abt 3 mths, sad to say, the camera rly poor as compared to samsung's. I just came back from a workcation with my family @ ipoh.

Had to rely on my wifes note 5 for photo taking as m8 is slow and always miss the moment

But overall, i still love the m8 rclxms.gif

Main reason why i use my s7 edge now

Cant afford the s7 edge cry.gif

Is the batt better/longer? Since samsung optimizes everything
*
Not bad . Not as good as mate 8 but can last me all day even with heavy usage. Batt is 3600 mah so i kinda expected longer batt life than say a note 5. Plus the fast charging is faster than mate 8

Why not HTC 10? cheaper than S7 edge and camera performance is quite satisfying.

Since when is the HTC 10 cheaper than the s7 Edge?
