Stopped by the ATT store yesterday afternoon and got so close to pulling the trigger. Then I remembered that for ~$150 less, I was able to get the 64GB SM-P900 model with the free keyboard offer from Best Buy.
I personally like the idea of being able to use my tablet on the go, but $899 for this 32GB LTE model seems rather steep.
Regardless, I'm still on the edge of picking up this ATT variant and was curious if anyone had done so already or considering the same.
I'm definitely all ears on the pros and cons and would also like to get some feedback with regards to performance, battery life, and firmware updates. I figure that real world performance is negligible between the wifi and lte model, but would like to hear from those that got to use both models.
Thanks in advance.

I read in another thread that the keyboard deal ended May 29th. I'm curious about the AT&T one myself.

I've seen at least one person that's picked up the AT&T model and hoping to hear from him on his experience.

I picked my AT&T note pro the day it was released (last Friday), and so far I absolutely love it. I have had the Note 10.1 for quiet some time and was a little skeptical about spending $900 just to upgrade. But after just a few days with it I am very glad I "pulled the trigger". The screen resolution is amazing, even compared to the Note 10.1 The speed seems a lot quicker as well, even without root and debloating. As far as battery life I getting around 10-12 hrs of screen time, that's a combination of WiFi and LTE. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the feedback on your experience with the AT&T model of this beast of a tab. I actually picked up the US 64GB version of the P900 use it with a mobile hotspot device and it's been working well for me so far. Still, I'd much rathet not carry around a mobile hotspot just to get online. I just wished they released a 64GB LTE model.

I'm doing the same only with a 32gb model. Choice for me came down to root, at which point it was a no-brainer . . wifi version had it, US carrier versions didn't and I didn't want to risk slower development times for them.
From the looks of it there isn't much development for the wifi version either.

True, to be honest though with root I've already done enough to my tablet to not worry about custom ROM's for now. Still hoping for a slimmer rom to be developed but I probably won't jump on it right away.

What have you done to your note since rooting? This is the first device I've owned that doesn't have any ROMs available. Not sure what do with it when I take it out of the box...usually it's a quick dead pixel check, then goodbye stock.
Looking forward to this device and xda community!

Currently running Pie Controls and GMD Gesture Control to assist in application switching and other quick shortcuts. Not sure if I'll keep both I'm relying on Pie Controls more.
With Titanium Backup I've frozen a bunch of applications including Allshare, ANT applications (3 of them), samsung's backup app, Blurb Checkout, Business Week, Cisco Webex, E-Meeting, ELM Agent, Facebook (I use the web page), FWUpgrade, Gallery (I use Gallery KK), Play Newstand, KLMS Agent, Magazine Widget, Music (I use Google Play Music), My Magazine (I use Nova Launcher, the stock launcher sucks), Netflix, NY Times, Pagebuddy Service, Remote Controls and Remote PC app, Samsung Push Service, Scrapbook (no intention of using it), SideSync (dont have other samsung phones), Software Update, Weather and Briefing.
Freezing those applications keeps them from loading even as cached apps freeing up space in RAM to cache other apps that i frequently use.
In addition I uninstalled all Knox related apps.
For other mods I'm using Xposed Installer to do things like per application DPI settings to render things in smaller fonts, block ads, disable nag screens (location consent, modify share menus, modify complete action windows etc.), control what starts at boot (boot manager) as well as a few other tweaks.

So far two of us have tired the towelroot in the other thread on the P900 with no success. It seems to be working though on the P905.

Hi all,
Do you think the 6P will work without battery drain or connectivity problems in Mainland China? Anyone using the 6P as their daily in mainland China. I don't want to move on from my Note 4 N9108v, if I'm going to find that the Huawei is bogged down with problems due to Google issues. I can use a VPN to get apps etc when I wnat, but if it is essentially compromised at a hardware level, than I cannot go there. Would love to get into a nexus now that the camera is near high standard. Anyone?
Also, Should be fine getting the HK version rather than the US version, right?
Ok - Not much of a response here. However, I was able to get a few PM responses and used another HK thread. Have decided to have a friend pick one up from HK for me and will know very soon whether or not it was a big mistake to Nexufy in Beijing China.
ive been using a 6p international version (HK) the phone works in china mobile as well as Unicom, 4g speeds are awesome... as for the battery,, ive noticed my 6p draining quite fast... perhaps has something to do with the google apps trying to connect to the google services that are unavailable in mainland.. out of that.. the phone works amazingly

Ty for the response...
I now have one. Weird that with my WiFi (China mobile) on, the phone keeps telling me that the network is connected, but no internet... When clearly there is. I haven't really tried the 4g speeds much, but they were dead slow on my note 4.. Yet amazingly fast on my note 4 when abroad, so I figure that it's just a China speed thing. Battery ends awesome enough compared to note 4 too.

That a problem caused by our network censorship that blocks Google. You need to disable "Captive Portal" scanning or set the server to a different one to avoid it.
Try the command "settings put global captive_portal_server g.cn" in Terminal with Superuser privilege.
Been using mine as a daily driver for 3 days, but flashed CM on it, so battery life does not impress. Wonder how good it is on stock, though, because all these Google apps will drain battery if you don't disable them or hook up to a VPN.

Yes, I am not ready to root yet and I am resisting the almost overwhelming temptation to root and rom right now, as I want to see and feel the natural stock experience for a good couple of weeks so that I can compare.
I am finding the battery is excellent for my situation so far. I have no regrets in terms of moving toward this rather than LG's V10, Huawei's 8 mate, Xiaomi's future offerings, or the Samsung Note 5... So far.
The wifi no internet notification, doesn't seem to affect any access to the internet. So ... I'm not going to worry about it - just looks weird with the little exclamation mark next to the wifi symbol. My work's wifi is VPN connected and I have two ready and set up on my phone for use. Although I don't really use them much when I travel to and fro and rely on the LTE network - (although at least one will work if I need it). I found that the native messaging service on the phone didn't send or receive a couple of texts yesterday, so I installed a new messaging app (SMS messaging (ASOP) Sylvain Galand) so far it seems to have worked 100%, but I haven't fully tested it yet. PLenty of time for that.
Yep, I'll stay on stock till after Xmas and see how it goes.
ok - Intersting thin is - was playing around with the old 6P putting 8.1 on it. couldn't get rid of the cross and connectivity problem.
Used to get fixed by:
settings put global captive_portal_server g.cn
But for ANdroid 8.1 it seems it is this:
#!/usr/bin/env sh
adb shell settings put global captive_portal_fallback_url http://g.cn/generate_204
adb shell settings put global captive_portal_http_url http://www.google.cn/generate_204
adb shell settings put global captive_portal_https_url https://www.google.cn/generate_204
adb shell settings put global captive_portal_other_fallback_urls http://www.qualcomm.cn/generate_204
from a person called Tonyseek from here: https://gist.github.com/tonyseek/bc5b72197ddb15418c61406061720186
Thank you sir.
Doubtful anyone else will have the same difficulty as I would imagine no one is using the 6P in china these days. But he solve is here if it helps.

I have one. Great hardware. Software needs improvement but is usable. I was hoping someone here on XDA know how or if it's possible to install android wear on this watch.
I got one but I am not happy with it so far... I installed the app for it (BT Swatch) but I do not manage to get the "Messaging" work properly. The app crashes all the times I want to sync Messaging. Can someone help ? Any alternative software for this watch ?

HI my main problem is the bluetooth is connecting and disconnecting continously, and at the end no auto connect and have to be paired again manually.
"Samsung Galaxy Express 2" with kittak 4.4
The same with BT Swatch, fundo, mediatek...
Try to uninstall or stop any other bluetooh stuff in the phone just in case, no success.
Any other with this problem?
Any idea how to fix it?
Thanks in advance
Is there a way to add clock faces/skins to this watch?
app for LEM1
You can try the app "SmartWear" from Galapad Technology Ltd, is working oke for me.

Hi everyone
is it possible with this device to answer a call and talk on speakerphone through the watch ?
Thanks
Custom LEMFO LEM1
I want to add a metal band to it. I just ordered it. Does any one know of the measurements for the band in mm's. I want it to arrive on the same day.
Edit: Update
I got the watch and took a chance on a band. This is the outcome. To me this is the closest look to a huawei smart watch. All it would need is the ability to
have android wear. But I can deal with not having it for the price. $63 from amazon prime and 10 bucks for the band.
Hi, do you have the firmware that you can share? Thanks
Nah. Sorry

Hi there I have a Huawei Honor Note 8. I've owned it for 4 weeks and I LOVE this phone. I don't have auto-update enabled on the Google Play Store so I do it manually and it worked until today. When I clicked update (there were 16 updates available and I only chose 15) it just sat there saying it was downloading but it wasnt. It went an hr and nothing still. The little icon kept on twirling around and each app individually kept saying downloading but nothing. It once did download but not now. So I went to the permissions in the settings and everything was still checked. Also, contacts stopped synching so I went to accounts and went to sync to do it manually and when I clicked sync all, it just sat there and nothing happened as if it were frozen. I knew I was taking a chance by ordering something from out of the country but everything worked fine the first few weeks.
I read that a system update came out and that people were having issues with their bluetooth connections after the update so I didnt accept any updates from Huawei in fear of those few comments. Do you think that has something to do with it and should I always accept system updates from huawei?
Confused but in LOVE with this device, best device I've ever owned. Im in the USA by the way if that matters. Also, browsing the web with wifi works fine so the wifi isnt the problem.

Hi guys, I have posted in my watch forum (HW2) but no joy so I thought I would ask here
Keep it short, I lost my pebble and rather than go for some third party watch I thought lets go for AW
But AW does not come with any sleep tracking everyone seems to love Sleep as Android but I switch my phone off overnight and charge in the kitchen and the few sleep trackers I have seen all use a phone app in addition to the watch app
So guys, I have looked but with no joy. Is there any standalone sleep tracking apps for AW please?
Thanks guys
Here you go. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep
Thanks for looking but Sleep as android is not standalone
You have to install the phone app also, it pops up on the watch 'please open app on phone...
Any others you can think of please?
Take a look at Cardiogram: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cardiogram.v1 It has a sleep monitor and includes the watch app. The description doesn't say that the phone is needed.
Thanks JmSmith94, it looked interesting so I gave it a shot
Woke up this morning quite excited, opened the app and nothing
Checking the help and FAQ the app reads the Apple fitness data for sleep information
Another one bites the dust
I will say that was a nice find, I had not come across this and I appreciate you looking
Any others out there please?
I know this is an older thread, but I'm wondering if you ever got an answer or figured out an app? The Huawei Health app actually does a good job of tracking sleep. I've been using it for a while now.. The issue I have is that I've upgraded my pixel 2 XL 2 Android p and the Huawei app doesn't seem to work with P.

What watch do you have? I'm still on 8.1 on my Pixel 2 XL with the original Huawei Watch, and Huawei Health can't find it to link with.
Using the HW 2 classic. HW Heath and the Huawei app both worked well on 8.1, just not on P.
