Hey all, I just wanted to let you all know that I'm selling my Mate 8. I recently purchased a Nexus 6P which I love so the Mate 8 must go. I will still try and make the Twisted Mate 8 and Stock roms for the Mate 8 but I'll just need a tester or two. I listed my phone on Swappa just now and hopefully it will find a good home.

I bought a Nexus 6P. We will never see any custom roms other than what's based on stock on the Mate 8. Plus the Nexus 6P has a better camera, stereo speakers and stock android which there are a ton of roms for. I love the Mate 8 but I'm selling it and looking to buy something like the P9 Max if it ever is released or something over 6 inches.

I can totally understand you.
Love the Mate 8 too, but hate the lack of custom ROMS.
Need the dual SIM for work, otherwise I would have decided on a Nexus 6p.
Don't forget the notification issues on mate 8. I have tried every ROM for AL10 and the all have this bug. I use the phone for work and need the app: root call sms manager to work with timer scheduler. It opens for call on my work sim card when at work, and disables then when work ends. But it is not working and always delayed because of this bug. My xperia Z5 dual works perfect with this app, but only have the half battery life of mate 8. And no!!
Is does not help to disable doze, use greenify or make the app a system app. It's really sad...

This is what makes me want to sell mine. I've been working on a fix for so long that I'm about to give up and sell it. Other than this the phone is wonderful.
@ajsmsg78 hopefully you continue sharing your knowledge and work with the community.

Yes seriously looking into switching to either 6p or S7 edge.
On the other hand still hoping that all these issues with the Mate 8 will be solved at some point.

I don't have the notification issues after enabling wifi and mobile data during sleep but yeah the notification issues shouldn't have even been there to begin with. I have mine on Swappa but the low ball deals people are offering me are ridiculous.
I have notification problems and nothing has worked, i wasted hours trying to get them to work.. I am going to wait till the galaxy note 6 to come out and give this phone to my parents because everyone one is low balling me on craigslist...
Notification are important to me because this is my work phone, I have to carry my note 4 when I'm on call, pretty annoying to always have two phones..
Well guys, the phone has been sold. I'll still be around helping out and doing the smaller stuff.

Enable wi-fi and data did decrease the delay, but it did not fix it. On my Z5 dual notification comes instantly as they should. I use my mate 8 only for gaming now until Huawei wake up.

I am using kingvip slim Rom and doesn't have notification issue with gmail. For whatsapp i put the apk in the system folder and it starts working. The mate 8 is the best phone i had (i owned a lot of them). Excellent battery life ( who need a phone with a dead battery at 4-5 PM), microsd card support are a must for me. I had before an LG g4 and was plagued with bad battery life and relative overheating so can't imagine an sd810 based device even if it is a nexus phone.

The 6P uses a revision 2 Snapdragon 810 chip and doesn't overheat. Mine stays as cool as my Mate 8 did. The Mate 8 is probably the best piece of hardware I've ever owned but one of the worst in software other than the early days of Samsung's TouchWiz. If the 6P had a 6 inch screen and slightly larger battery (it has a 3450mah battery) it would be the perfect phone. I still have my Mediapad X2 with a 5,000 mah battery. Talk about long lasting!
So, what noti issue are you guys talking? ? Did i miss something on my mate?

You apparently did not. Most others did, on older firmwares, without resorting to tricks :good:

It seems like the smart plan mode kills all notifications from apps, but choosing performance apps stays alive.
My Gmail and other apps behave normal again. [emoji2]

Disappointed !
huawei should pay attention to this feature.
i don't have to rise up the mobile each minute if its on table to use back fingerprint sensor access .
also I i don't have to root the phone to enable this feature .
isnt it enabled on the newer B3xx firmwares?

Nooooo
Forget about DT2W for Mate 8 at the current state of Firmware. I have root and enabled that feature. It's really disappointing, cause it's not working nice. And (what is more annoying) sometimes, you cannot wake up the phone. You have to press the power button a lot, to wake it up. This only happens when DT2W is active!
That's why we need huawei to listen to us it's really needed as I'm X mate s user! It's very useful
Hi guys,
I'm hoping to switch to a p9 lite. So need ideas from all of you; the best people i can count on who has the experience with P9 lite.
Are there any issues with the phone or is my decision good? Please help.
Thanks in advance
hardware is good...i like it, no problems here... software sucks... with emui 5.0 it will be better i hope
Your decision good! If you dont like EMUI4 replace standard launcher with nova.
But mind that P9l not has gyroscope as required.

saying that your should use Nova if you don't like emui is like saying to wear makeup to hide that you are stupid...i don't like emui because of a lot of reasons...i came from a Nexus so for me emui is killing the Android... it's not just about the looks... it has a task killer for God's sake... Android with task killer in a 2gb device... plain stupid
Your right. Nova is spoilage. But even so smart spoilage.
yeah.
. nevertheless Nova is great
Don't buy 2GB version. Just don't.

What do you mean? Is it freezing or not reaching the expectations or just the ui sucks?

For me,it works fine.
Sure,due to the fact that it has 2GB of ram,some apps which would possibly stay in the background on the 3GB of ram will be killed on 2GB. Other than that,it is working fine,I don't even multitask that much,and the phone is snappy even while the 2 cores of the first cluster are disabled(DIY 6-core setup,it saves up the battery life a bit)

P9 Lite,the J7 is trash at screen resolution and CPU performance. And it probably won't have custom ROMs in the future,while the P9 Lite already has "usable"-ish CM13.
And even the stock ROM is snappy.

Unfortunately no otg USB support... And I don't know how to fix it.. Otherwise this phone has everything and good though
Hey guys,
Wondering why the honor 5x got more tweaks and options more than the mate 8?
Despite the later is more powerful?
Ex: fingerprint options, notification drawer, recording , & couple more
I know most people gonna say go for root,
But the question is why not stock!
Why not satisfy the customer...
Thanks people for listening...

Hey guys,
Is it possible to configure settings on the Honor 8 to benefit gaming??
It seems now my phone wants to overhear when playing Champions Honor :laugh:
Frustrating.
You can Increase Performace By Kernal Aduitor ,but it cuts battery life
Do you have an Honor 8 or Honor 8 Lite?
