Huawei Mate 9 to have a smaller battery. Boo! - Mate 8 General

http://www.gizchina.com/2016/08/23/huawei-mate-9-dual-camera-exposed/
Apparently smaller battery yet faster CPU. Not much of an incentive to upgrade from the Mate 8's super battery which is most important.

Weird decision here. The battery is a differentiator.
Think for yourself. Question authority.

Hence "apparently" ?

From 6p to Mate 8

Ever since seeing the Mate 7 and liking it's design I wanted it but not all lte radios were present for ATT and it was a no go.... Now I have a 6p and heading to the Mate 8. I hope I'm not making a mistake. I love the ability to flash a plethora of different Roms but the Mate 8 has a lot of features that some aosp roms have( swipe on right to get quick settings and double tap to wake). I love the screen to body ratio and battery and sd slot of the Mate 8. The speaker at the bottom and 1080p aren't biggies for me. Development seems to be at a snail's pace but I hope it picks up a little.
I actually had a Mate 2 that really wasn't bad.

The speaker is really good, the battery epic, you'll miss the camera big time and I think stock will be the best for a while.

Picture quality isn't extremely high on my list. As long as it is good, I'll be fine. I must say the 6p has great low light capabilities but I don't take many pics in the dark.

Hi,
You can change your phone, for me the mate 8 it's the best phone of the world.
I had the s6 edge+, the note 5 and many of best phone but the mate 8 has no equivalent. I love the big screen, his power, his battery, his style... simply, I love everything on this phone
Just changed myself from 6P and have no regrets.
Mate 8 is better in every way except camera.

The Mate 8 does support 60fps video recording where the 6P does not... 60fps is niiice

Haven't found this yet. Would very much like it though because I'm used to it from my G4 and the unlocking using the fingerprint scanner is not my thing at all :good:
ull need to manually enable this on earlier roms via build.prop whereas more recent firmwares have that function built in

Wow, indeed it was included as standard, under Smart Settings. Didn't see it (just have the phone and the options are rather endless). Thx! :good:

I thought double tap to wake was problematic and produced phone restarts and other weird behaviors. Did they fix it?
in earlier roms that was definitely the case. no idea about the functionality on more current firmwares, i dont really use that feature, hurts battery life

LG G3 MM battery life

I was wondering how your battery life on marshmallow is. I installed v30c on my LG G3 yesterday and can't get more than 3 hours of sot ? even with lollipop I had better battery life..

Same story with me. After v30c the battery life got worse for sure on my G3.
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
the same 2.5 to 3 hours (lollipop had the same time)
When I get some free time I'll install v30b marshmallow to see if there's any difference

It's just that the battery drops way too fast when the phone is in use. In standby mode the phone can last forever but when you start using it the battery drops immediately

Normally after 60 min of no using phone it turn to DOZE, which is really great. But sometimes no, and it makes Android System and OS. I will make some screen shots.

Are you running v30c too?
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Mine was the same, I had updated from v30b to v30c without factory reset and battery life was horrible. Then I have factory reset, it is even better than previous versions now.
My battery life gets worse on 30c then on LP too....I do factory reset and also uninstall some apps. I notice that weather service get crazy. Look at screen shot...and my location is off.

Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I highly recommend you to update to 30f the battery life is awesome.. I'm still on 100% now that I'm writing ?
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I upgraded to Marshmallow yesterday (v30d) and my battery life has been terrible so far. I drains much faster than it did with Lollipop, even when Doze is supposed to be activated. I didn't have time to do a clean install but I will probably have to if this keeps up.

May update APD2

I just took this update and when I go to my battery status it shows my on screen time at the top of the list and Android system is now 3rd below stand by time. I hope this will mean better battery life for the future.

Mine is not working. I can't even beam with another Mate 8. I have L29C636B321.
I am on L29C636B563 now!
NFC seems to be working in relation to "Share" + "Huawei Beam" to another Mate 8 with a slightly different F/W, that one a C185B560...
