2. UI is phone UI not Tablet UI
If you have LTE, do you know if it can make phone calls? Also, if you are in USA, do you know if you can use T-Mobile as a phone. Also, if anyone may know this answer, please let me know because I want to be able to use it as a phone. Thank you for your help.

I have noticed this as well. It's not that the phone is generally slow, on the contrary, but the slow scrolling of long pages is annoying.
The DPI is 400 for the Display View Mode Setting Small, 440 for Medium and 480 for Large.
What is worse, in Small the Switch Tabs function in Chrome does not work anymore so you cannot switch or close tabs!
I tried changing the DPI with the adb shell wm density command but this has no effect.
Another annoying thing is that I cannot change fonts easily from Display Settings as I could on older Huawei phones. I have to use a Huawei Theme editor to change a theme every time I want to change fonts. This in itself is not a problem but this App shows multiple(!) ads of Mobile Strike when using it, absolutely annoying!
Overall I do like the M3. Battery life seems noticeably better than my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 2016 and that is the main reason I switched. The narrower size also makes it easier to hold than the Samsung.
I have managed to unlock the bootloader but have not found a working root solution yet.
Got mine too, i like it overall, but what was annoyed about soundquality over headphones.
tested it between onplus2,... oneplus headphones quality are way better.
@ Flavio
how do you unlock the bootloader?

Use the Chinese language of the Huawei page to get the unlock code because the Captcha function on the English page does not work. Use the English and Chinese pages next to each other so you know which button to press.
Instead of the adb command you can also use the SRK tool.

Otherwise I really like the tablet
Problems w. Chrome & YouTube, Call feature not so good
I can confirm the open/switch tabs button in the preinstalled Chrome does not work at all. If I reset the whole tablet it sometimes works, but as soon as I sign-in into one of my Google accounts in chrome the tabs are dead. This is annoying, as soon as you open a new tab there's no way you can get to the old tabs…
AND: The Youtube app crashes as soon as I load the subscriptions tab. Can anybody else confirm? This is annoying too.
AND: The call feature was the main reason I bought this. BUT: You can make calls with it (even GSM and 3g), BUT: It does NOT have a dedicated speaker for your ear. It uses one of the (great!) standard media playing speakers on the side. So everybody around you (even on the quietest setting) can hear what the other person on the call is saying. So you must use a headset…
Any ideas on getting root or solving Chrome/YouTube?
By the way: I just did a small review of the M3 and put it up on YouTube:

Hello,
Unfortunately, I confirm having the same problems.

I can't confirm that. Using Chrome and YouTube without any problems.
I got mine a couple days after the release date in a huawei pro shop in China. It came with Chinese ROM so none of the Google stuff is pre installed. I got my Google play store from their own app store and everything else from play store after that. YouTube and chrome works fine. The overall speed is a bit slower that expected. What bugs me is the wifi connection, seems to be quite slow and unstable. Lte wise seems to be OK overall. Battery life and general speed are way better that my tab s2 8.0 tho. What Roms are you guys running?

I have the B003 ROM, Android 6.0.
I can concur that the speed and battery life are better than on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0.
I just dug out my 2 years old z3 tablet compact since game streaming with moonlight on the m3 is totally unbearable. The z3 did a better job on streaming,general performance wise, I'm surprised how little the difference is between these two tablets since there's a two years gap. The m3 got a much newer processor as well as an extra gb of ram, I think the 2k screen is the one to blame, although I did turn it down to 1080 in settings. Battery life, m3 wins hands down.

I can confirm all of you the long battery life comparing to Tab S2.
to be honest, I don't have the same feeling about this tablet.
I've a good experience with smoothly and general speed but of course depends of what you are looking for, in my case, for work is perfect due to:
1. Phone/MTM function
2. SD Card slot
3. Battery Life
4. Screen inch resolution
5. Light and slim for portability
for gaming I'm going to wait the root if it's possible and why not, I guess and hope in a custom rom that I think it will solve all lags that other users got because from hw specs, it's really good to run all we want to have on this tab.

I don't know if the China versione is compatible with European LTE bands... I think so but I really don't know.
Regarding the screen buttons the answer is no. At least on mine there's no option to hide them.

I've tried the 400dpi setting and can confirm that chrome tab and YouTube issue exist in the Chinese rom as well. Got the latest OTA today and it didn't fix the issue.
Not sure about Europe lte but I guess it will work, there is a option to turn on screen buttons on and off in my ROM, not sure about if it's for Chinese rom only or not.
Solved! Chrome Tab Switching and YouTube Subscriptions work again.
Solution: I had the "view mode" (Settings/Display) set to "small", so I can use as much screen estate as possible. Sadly this makes Chrome and YouTube unusable. Switched this view mode to medium and everything works (after a forced reboot by the settings app).
Strange:
I can not set the dpi via ADB. Via ADB i always get 480 dpi, no matter what setting I have set in view mode. And I can not change this dpi setting, it always stays on 480 dpi. I have the feeling the adb shell command doesn't work or is ignored. This is a bit sad, because I was hoping for the widgets and fonts and interface being as small as possible. But it's still a great device and I am happy.
Now Root is missing. Any ideas?

If Honeycomb gives every users a mind-blowing experience from Froyo and Gingerbread, Honeycomb 3.1 is quite a update in terms of user experiences.
It improves over quite a number of areas to fix the glitches from here and there due to a first generation OS release.
One phrase to describe it is
Smoothness and responsiveness.
I had a head-to-head comparison with iPad 2 (my friend's) and my Xoom last weekend.
While apps I can find almost what I need from both iOS and Android (tablet compatible), one observable issue is the screen and apps responsiveness. Even my Xoom at that time was overclocked to 1.5G thanks to Tiamat's kernel, it barely matched iPad 2's screen by screen browsing, web page browsing and speed of apps opening etc.
With this 3.1 update, I thought Google hit home run on this front.
Other improvements includes previous mentioned by other folks
1. Recovery boot option appears (from folks who updated "naturally")
2. Under system update , there is a button to hit "check now" , so that we don't need to change system time to force a check everytime.
3. Resizable widgets (Gmail widget tested) is very handy
4. other publicly announced improvements.
Still exploring features now, rooted with instructions from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073884
Thanks stachre!
Will post a quick review with more screenshots on website. =)
Happy xooming folks!!!
Along with your points, I like that the recent apps bar now scrolls as well.
The YouTube app looks awesome in HD.

Bluetooth sucks. My keyboard keeps dropping when the mouse is connected. Other than that this thing seems great. Just waiting for some new kernels to drop now!
The new Quick Controls in the browser are fantastic. Overall the browser is much more responsive.
I've also noticed the keyboard lag seems to be gone.
Other differences are minor....
- the selection carrot when typing is more green
- the keyboard clicks as you type
- the Wi-Fi icon shows when you are uploading, downloading
I'm sure I will find more but its only been an hour since I flashed.

When you are in portrait mode, does sliding left or right in the home screen still lag? Thanks!

Also in Market, you can choose "app content filter". Damn I can't select "High Maturity" alone.

Quick controls look just like the ones that were already present in labs.
do you still have to be rooted to use a screenshot app?

For the browser quick controls, just to go settings in the browser, advanced and google labs.
I don't see any addition to leave comments yet in the market though.

in labs? So what exactly changed in 3.1? People keep saying they love the new browser but i dont see it any diff?
Labs is a section in the browser options where you have a few options to alternate your UI for example. One of which are the quick controls.
And they changed a bit so they got even better. Just try them...

He got confused on your questions.
his answer number 1 which was no, meant that when you actually turn it from horizontal to portrait, it still lags slightly before changing the screen orientation..
and his number 2 was to answer your actual question, which according to him is yes, it runs smoother than before.....
I'd like to see this for myself, but I'M STILL WAITING!

Portrait is smoother, but still not as smooth as landscape on mine. The update is fantastic though. Overall performance is better. The quick controls redefine tabbed browsing to me. No complaints.
The quick controls are two "rows" thick now instead of 1 and there are a few more controls. It is more definitely different from before as I used the quick controls heavily and noticed the change instantly. Overall a much nicer experience.
Has media playback improved? I'm mostly interested in how HC 3.1 does with scene HD TV show MKVs (720p with H264/AC3).
Thanks.
Hey guys,
So I recieved the new 3.2 update today on my US Wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1 and there's a few changes that I have already noticed:
1. Samsumg removed the bouncy effect (similar to the one the was in Apple devices) that was in the browser, settings menu, Android Market, and anything that scrolled and has replaced the effect with the normal Android effect of a blue highlight that gets bigger as you try to scroll more at the end of the page (Possibly has to do with Samsung vs. Apple court case?)
2. Now when you're watching a video on youtbe and using full screen the bottom bar is fully gone and there isn't that random line that was there before !
3. The menu button looks a bit different in the Android Market and Youtube app, almost bolded or popped out (no new Android market btw. It's the same old one so we still don't have access to the music store from the Android Market).
4. Now when you click on a contact icon, when the list of all possible things of contacting them (Google Voice, Google Maps for directions, Gmail, Twitter, etc) shows up entirely and you don't have to scroll left and right).
5. QuickOffice HD seems to have been updated (but not to the newest 5.0 version that is on the Android Market). The icon has also changed and now it says "Pro" and "HD" on it (which is what the Android Market version icon is like)
6. Browser seems a bit faster but I'm not sure about that. And the tablet in general feels overall faster.
Anything else that you guys have noticed? (Besides the button that changes app screen sizes that normally comes with 3.2)
Aboutebug settings changes now seems to stick.
all share is available.
Web browser seems alot snappier. App drawer and pages scroll smoother aswell.
Good morning all!
I'm glad that you got the update on your Tabs. Can I ask you what the better if I fill up its batteries and then update it, or if I plug it in and until filling up I'm updating? Did you notice any problems while updating? Is this update deleted anything from your device? Or everything stayed the same?
There's a little icon next to the clock to turn an app into full screen
This update was for the WIFI version only right?
Allshare is present now
does the screen shout button function can be changed? , like in galaxy tab 7.7 its function can be changed and also the mini apps can be edited or even removed in the 7.7 ?
how is there no updated market YET??
The browser definitely is faster.
Has anyone had issues with home screen auto rotate lag? I updated to 3.2 and it now takes 2 - 3 seconds to rotate. With 3.1 it was almost instantaneous. I also tried the widespread fix by long pressing the home screen and choosing a section other than add widget with no results. This is very frustrating.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
Yes, it is especially noticeable when you turn your tab 180 degrees in one motion. ( top becomes bottom)
OK, so I decided to change my wallpaper from a static image to a live wallpaper and the rotation improved immensely. That is so counter-intuitive, but see if you can re-create it.

Dice player compatibility, anyone? 3.2 wifi user reported diceplayer broke in this ver. I'm on 3.2 3g and it fixed video playback with diceplayer. I was having issues with 3.1 previously.
Id like to add.
Previously on 3.1, 180 degrees rotate will make a 90 + 90 rotation
With 3.2,it fades out and inverts the screen, and fades back in.
Hope this information is useful.
Agreed with all of the above.
However, I get a lot of gapps Force Closes. Can anyone suggest anything besides a full wipe?

Development Info
Possible future functionality:
Youtube: comments, annotations( I suspect that this can be done), description etc.
"Save video to sdcard";
RTMP video sources would be nice...(I'm not sure I can do this but will be thinking about ways)
Changes in 0.3a:
11/7/2012 Video transitions much shorter! DONE!
The process for video selection is rather long so I'm having the next video selected while the current video is playing. This cuts down on time between video's in most cases!
11/4/2012 Incorporation of YouTube related video's DONE!
Related video's on a random metric!
11/2/2012 Youtube video quality option. DONE!
This one took a little while. Had do deal with what was available on a case by case basis. Bonus: Revision3 video's obey the quality setting!
11/2/2012 Preserve last video and position for resuming. DONE!
This turned out to be pretty simple too. Just had to store some state info in the db.
This was much easier than I thought it would be!
11/2/2012 Provide "In App" button for settings. DONE!
This was much easier than I thought it would be!
10/25/2012 9 patched the background image for feed items. DONE!
I was hoping that 9 patching the background image would give me a more consistent look across multiple devices in the feed manager. It helped but not nearly as much as I would have hoped.
Changes in 0.2a:
10/16/2012 Stop Moxee from playing while the screen is off. DONE!
There was an issue where if you turned the screen off when Moxee was in a transitional phase, threads that were started before the screen was turned off would cause the app to continue to play videos. Terminating these threads have resolved the issue!
10/15/2012 Toggle fullscreen to access notifications. DONE!
This turned out to be a simple matter of adding and clearing window flags. Now when ever you see the onscreen display, you will have access to the notification bar!
10/15/2012 Worked out a few minor issues.
There was an issue were sources were not seen until they had been updated by the back-end.
Added thumbnails for sources in the feed manager.
There was an issue where if YouTube did not have a "medium" quality mp4 for any particular video it would error off.
Resolved a threading issue where if next was pressed at a particular time, there would be a discontinuity between the titlebar and the actual video playing.
Resolved a threading issue where the titlebar said it was "Loading when in fact it was playing a video.
10/13/2012 Making setting available to those without physical menu button. DONE!
According to the information provided here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11702831/android-best-way-to-let-user-access-preference-activity) putting a menu option called "Settings" in the menu will cause ICS and above to show the 3 dot soft settings button. We shall see!
Well as it turns out that if you lower your build target(ei gingerbread), ICS (and above) will auto detect and put soft settings button in the action bar. However, lowering the build target caused problems with the latest Google ads jar so I had to revert to a lower version of that, but It's all working now!! I just need to make sure that the ads are really working.

Thanks for giving my app a try! I have reproduced that it does play with the screen off and I will be working on that one. I don't think that I'm prepared to allow the app into portrait mode but what I will work on is the option to take it out of full screen mode so users will have access to the notification bar.

Thanks so much for testing on your Xoom! I suspected that the lack of a physical menu button might be a problem. I suppose it would be best to make my own buttons for those functions. When you say, original source of the video, I'm not sure what you mean, but I am considering a "download this video" button for the future and even a "cache these video's overnight" kinda thing...

Very watchable. It's not really any different to the quality it would be on YouTube, obviously some things that were uploaded in a lower resolution may not scale up to the larger screen size so well but I won't hold you responsible for that...
I have a few devices I'll test on for you. All U.S. devices. HTC Sensation 4G, SGS2 T989, Galaxy Note 10.1, and if the app will be compatible I also have a Motorola Charm, Motorola Cliq2, and an older MyTouch 3G. I'll let you know how they all perform though. Thanks for the app, and it's a great idea and piece of software.

If you 7 inch tablet has Gingerbread then, I think, it should have a hardware menu button. If you 7 inch tablet has honey comb or above there should be a "3 dot" software button in the bottom bar, next to the 3 buttons on the left. If however, your 7 inch tablet has no hardware button and is running gingerbread or below, that is the case where there would be a problem
If this is the case, let me know, and I'll put it on the list for 0.3a :good:
Thanks so much for testing and let me know if there is anything else you notice, or if there is anything that you think would make the experience better!

If however, your 7 inch tablet has no hardware button and is running gingerbread or below, that is the case where there would be a problem
If this is the case, let me know, and I'll put it on the list for 0.3a :good:
Thanks so much for testing and let me know if there is anything else you notice, or if there is anything that you think would make the experience better!

It got ICS with no Menu button.
I know the 3 dot butten, most of the apps has it, but yours don't
If you'll got the time, Can you add an icon for MENU?
Moxee got lot's of potential but
it's not really usable without costomizing the feeds
Does anyone else have this annoyance?
While scrolling up or down the browser will sometimes zoom in and out of its own accord.
Is there a fix or tweak for this please. ?.
I have tried other browsers, same problem...
It is normal. Touch wiz has edge zoom on the edge of the browser window. I and many others hate this feature with the burning passion of a thousand exploding stars. There is no fix on stock for this known to me. The only thing you can do is invision the fleas of a hundred camels all bitting the genitalia of the nimconpoop who thought this was a good idea.

It's by design and it's gone with the latest JB update (LL3).
I must be one of the few who used this... I mean, it IS an annoyance during normal use but if you pair the tablet with a BT mouse (which is extremely useful to me on some occasions) it's very useful because you can zoom in and out without touching the screen.
Anyway, it works (worked) only on the stock browser, on Chrome, Opera or any other one it doesn't (never has).
Just to clarify, this happens on me when scrolling from anywhere on the screen not just from the side? And with other browsers...
Did they deliberately go out of their way to make it twitchy?

Then you must have some other problem..
I have never used my N8000 under ICS because the day I bought it was the day they released JB for the N8000 ( :highfive: ) so I updated it as soon as I got it out the box but on the 2 versions of JB I have been running the tablet was/is almost perfect.
I recently updated to LL3 ITV (the Italian one) and then flashed through Mobile Odin Pro the CWM 6.0.2.3 (the touch version) to complete the update. The update solved the only problem I had with LJ9 which I have been running since I bought the tablet 2 months ago: the keyboard lag (and a problem in the gallery displaying high-res pics has been fixed too).
Very welcome changes are also more MultiWindow apps (and among them Youtube finally!), the return of the S-Note widget which lets you display a note on the home screen and some other minor features which can be enabled under settings.
Polaris was also updated (the update was previously shown as available in Samsung Apps but attempting to actually updating it resulted in Polaris FC'ing) and now the system OTA update check works even if the system is rooted and has a non-original recovery.
BTW, I usually do full wipes and a clean install but out of sheer lack of time this one time I have updated through Mobile Odin Pro (and have kept root). Everything runs beautifully but, again, apart from the annoying keyboard lag I really didn't have any real problem before too.
What a fantastic tablet.

Yea it still zooms in other browsers for me as well. But if its zooming away from the e6dge try a factory reset id say.
Is there any music app that can take advantage of the always on display?

No
I have wondered about this, too. In fact, it seems to me that Samsung's always on display (AOD) feature is quite severely limited, to the point that I question it has value that exceeds its cost in battery life.
I like my S7 Edge device very much, but I also own a Droid Turbo 2 (basically the same device as the Motorola Moto X Force), and having become accustomed to the exceptionally useful features of its version of an AOD (called Moto Display), I can scarcely believe Samsung's engineers weren't embarrassed to release their flagship's analogous feature, having surely seen their competitor's version.
On the Motorola device, the Moto Display screen only comes on when you look at it or it detects activity in front of the screen.
Unlike Samsung's implementation, Moto Display reacts fully to touch, allowing the following interactions:
* initiate a screen unlock
* view icons of apps that have unseen notifications
* touch an icon to see a preview of the app's notifications
* drag an icon to a notification to initiate an interaction with the notification
It may not seem clear how this works, so here is an example of a frequent use case for me:
We frequently binge-watch various Netflix series on TV via a Chromecast, using my phone as the Netflix controller. When credits roll on an episode, I reach for the device and the Moto Display comes on. One of the icons will be a black and white version of the Netflix icon. I touch the icon, and a Netflix play-control appears at the top of the screen. I drag the Netflix icon to the forward-arrow ("next episode") on the Netflix control. The next episode instantly queues and begins to play on the TV. I move my hand away from the phone and its screen returns to the off state.
This whole process takes about 3 seconds, and is accomplished in a single smooth motion from start to finish. The first time I did it, I instantly appreciated how well thought out this particular user interface design was.
Another way in which the Moto feature excels is that third party app support is pretty much indistinguishable from first party apps, unlike Samsung, where some of the AOD and Edge features are limited to Samsung and affiliate apps.
I really hope Samsung doesn't rest on their laurels here, and continues to improve the Touchwiz AOD experience. They have a long way to go to match their competitor's similar feature, in my opinion.

You guys are expecting to interact with a feature that was solely meant to show the time and notifications... If you want to change music, turn the damn devices on.

I don't think it's unreasonable to hope for a more robust implementation at some point. If people go online and post about what they like and don't like, hopefully it is helpful for manufacturers and developers to gauge the demand for things they may be working on or thinking about developing in the future.
And I'm not at all sure I share your opinion about what Samsung intends as the ultimate boundaries and limitations of their always on display feature. Maybe they just ran out of time and had to settle for something less than they would eventually like to offer.

It's a very logical idea to use ways on for this (with the option to disable it)
Suprised it's not implemented.
Any news?
It could be very useful to change music while driving.
Or is there maybe something like the OPO swiping gestures?
A long press on volume buttons with screen locked to skip or back tracks would help a lot, there's one xposed module to do this but I don't want to root..

I tried a xposed module and it doesnt worked with spotify, only with the music player.
Also the default musicplayer shows up when playing a song and waking up the phone, not like spotify where u directly see the lockscreen. Is there at least a way to make this possible for spotify?

Try XTouchwiz or Physical Button Music Control.
The first should work in theory if you freeze stock music app, and the second used to allow (it's been a couple months since I used it) to select which app would the "next/prev" action be directed to.

Thank You, both moduls are working now :good:
Never though i have to freeze of select something
I know it's not the best nor ideal, but since I'm stock I'm currently using Samsung Music player and the latest update offered a new feature when not fully unlocking the device but just waking it up shows a full screen cover art with tags and the option to either Skip tracks and Play/pause, not much but better than unlocking the phone whilst driving lol.

This is what i want for Spotify...
With root and xposed u can use a module called xposed additions and use the capacitive buttons for next/previous Song on the lockscreen, thats the best solution for the car i found

When i was at the Samsung Note 7 Launch in NYC ? they told me the Note 7 international version had this and other cool things but the USA version could not because of infringement reasons. I wonder if anyone figured out how to put it in the USA version and the S7E.
note 7 has that option with samsung music, along with a much usefull AOD so i guess we will eventually get it as well once nougat arrives.
You can control any music player from AOD

My friend discovered this option.
you need to double tap.
this video posted by him shows the way
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUpIitwYzlc
Please like the video if you find it helpful:angel:
^^^ You are on Nougat though. Many people aren't, and without Nougat and the updated AOD, you can't control the music player from the AOD screen. It is actually a Grace UI AOD thing, but Grace UI is not on the S7E unless you have Nougat of course. My N7 has Grace UI and it has the much better AOD options you just showed.
Using the device almost a year and never heard of it before. I wonder what else I haven't explored yet

Just being able to play the next track would be and awesome feature in aod
