Android O seem very impressive for especially the under the hood stuff and performance increase with running apps.
I am sure if Mate 8 Got Android 0 it would get a second life, it would feel like you would get kirin 960.
Android Nougat sucks ... it drains more batteries then marshmallow .... Marshmallow was perfect ...

Personally to answer at all that.
I think Marshmallow was the best for the battery.
I've no issue with Nougat, except maybe like lot, the battery is less efficient. But I don't disturb with it because it works for the day. No need more. We shouldn't wait more of a phone with a big size. Say that 'O' could be worse with its consumption. Many new systems are less energy-consuming than their predecessors.
The only thing which will do that we won't have this new system, certainly, it's because the Android system doesn't do more than one or two update(s) on the devices. In addition, like it's a phone which is not followed, no one will develop unOfficial 'O' like LineageOS or AOSP on this phone. And I regret because this phone could work fine with this OS.
Sorry to say you! YOU, ME... WE had chosen the wrong phone to hope to have lot of updates!!!!
Until now, I was with Samsung Galaxy S serie, for that, this phone was really well desserved. Only thing which disturbs me was this damn knox. Now I almost regret it.
B.R
I agree franz , mate 8 is the perfect phone with almost of non related imperfections not pertaining to the phone its self lol. This is where the p9 kernel can be adudited and run Lin. If I could run mm with now let's say oreo animations ,boot , splash, shutdown like I found from a mate 9 fw for oreo ..
Yeah mate 8 is perfect phone but Huawei sucks with update and the really need to talk with their customers ....

Mate 7 got 3 updates, kitkat, lollipop,marshmallow, mate 8 have only got marshmallow and nougat so far so I expect one more major upgrade.
Yeah I know that ... But I don't talk about the OS jumped .... I'm talking about the os ota for region and ... update problem ... they don't fix every problem at once ... they fix 2 problem and with next update they give u 4 problem ... that's I'm talking about .... Android also security update sucks ...

Android O promise easier upgrades for manufactures. So once on Android o it might be easier for them to upgrade to newer version also
Let's hope so
Yes , until I get new OTA for nougat c636B580 update last week . It solve the battery drain problem and it was perfect now . So guy get your latest patch or update then you will feel the different

It is possible to get Android O.because it's GPU is same as galaxy s7(just different is in cores). Huawei reason for nougat for mate 7 was gpu.but I don't think Huawei will update mate 8 to O.

Personally I would find it very strange and also a brand suicide to not give Mate 8 Android O.
Mate 8 is still one of the most fast performing phones and have that reputation. It is a top notch device minus the camera, but not every one care about camera, it is the screen, speed of software and form factor that counts for me..and it looks damn sexy to I think (I recently modded mine to mocha brown).
I will say this if Mate 8 does not get android o I will not buy Huawei again..
In terms of Mate 7 I can understand, it still got , kit kat, then lollipop then marshmallow it was kind of a lot of updates...even though I personally think mate 7 would really had benefited from nougat and android o.
I believe Mate 8 get Android O (last update maybe). Huawei already working on new "O" system.
https://galagram.com/2017/06/kakie-smartfony-obnovyatsya-do-android-8-0/
Mate 8 should get O, because its a 64 bit processor. Android O, is built on 64bit.
I hope its module driven, that way, it'll just built itself by downloading drivers for the hardware on the phone. Updates would become very easy, and bugs with things like the camera could be squashed really quick.
I don't know if this is a reliable source, but it says that we will be getting Android O in November 2017:
https://www.gammerson.com/2017/04/list-huawei-honor-devices-getting-android-oreo-update.html
Well... Will we get Oreo? I couldn't find any info....
No chance. Huawei abandoned this model already.
I am hoping for at least the Wi-Fi Krack fix through Android security patch but I am not very optimistic.
What do you mean by wifi crack?
Do you have the same problem with slow wifi connection?

Gold L29 - yay!
OK, I'm an Android phone snob. Chronic flasher, thought I'd only buy Nexus devices. Pixel XL not good enough for me. As much of a Google fan I am, that device is not an upgrade and looks like an iPhone. I'm keeping my Nexus 6, have Verizon grandfathered unlimited data, the Mate 8 will be a new play phone for me and wanted something flashy (LOL) with a BIG screen. I bought a pretty crystal butterfly grip/stand which will look so cool with the gold. Looks like a great device.
Was waiting for the Mate 9, but couldn't wait any more and seems the 9 isn't a huge upgrade from the 8. Processor looks better but I think I'll be happy with the 8, then wait for the 10 hoping that they make a little improvement with the screen resolution (I know it's not a huge difference to the eye, but still...).
I'm excited to unlock and root this thing, looks like the guides are pretty strong. Reading a lot on the ROM/tool options. Haven't unlocked bootloader on a device or rooted for 2 years since my N6....should be interesting. Not a large amount of development but I think I'll be happy here and will have a new hobby.

Hi,
I can sense the happiness in your writing I feel the same too. Just purchased Huawei Mate 8 NXT-AL10 few days back. As soon I received my phone, I updated it to Android Nougat and the results are outstanding.
Phone is so much better. Battery life is fantastic. I already crossed 10 hour mark (screen on time) twice so far easily. Features are all working. I was bit sad not to find "double tap to wake up" by default even though I found few apps on google play store which fulfill this requirement. I was pleasantly surprised to find Call recording available even without root. Fingerprint feature is new for me, my previous phones didn't have it so I am really enjoying this feature. Camera is good too. Overall, Huawei did a brilliant job with this phone. There are so many reasons to smile with this phone. It is perfect in every way.
Huawei Mate 9 seems to have a better processor, GPU and camera. At the moment, it is expensive for me but I hope I am able to purchase it in coming months . I love Android phones, tablets and high performance laptops. I used to flash a lot with Samsung phones and tablets few earlier but I reduced it significantly over the years. And at the moment I am just having loads of fun with Mate 8 with Nougat I am sure you will have plenty of fun too once you update to Nougat. I highly recommend updating to Nougat to everyone. It is really awesome on this phone.
Cheers!

Hi,
You are right. There are bugs.
I have NXT-AL10 there are two more updates after B562. B573 and B575. They are slightly ok. I don't know what is the equivalent version of that for your model L29.But you might find minor improvements in the updates.
Can you take a screenshot of settings-> account e-mail>"add account" page?

So I spent several hours today with my Mate 8 unlocking bootloader and rooting. It was a little tricky, primarily with drivers issues - every device is different with unlocking/rooting. The whole DC unlocker and reading bootloader code - what fun!
So now I have a Mate 8 with unlocked bootloader and rooted...now what to do? Now I'm researching the different ROM options, nougat, etc. It still seems tricky with the encryption thing and the builds/versions thing and isn't as straight forward!
Back...to the boards.... LOL.
Love the device -- glad I got this thing.
just bought one a few hours ago today. replaced my (absolutely ****e battery life) 6P guess I know which board I will be on all night long tonight

If you're going to unlock and root it, give a shout if you run into any problems. I made it through but a few hiccups along the way.
Now the decision is what ROM to do!!!
It can get a bit tough especially with the bootloader code stuff. I recently did it myself and flashed it to L29c636b211 from c636b320 both stock and its running incredibly smooth and fast. Battery life is very solid as well.

Feel so embarrassed, the part on the bootloader code reading that got me what I thought I was all set when clicking Unlock OEM in developers settings and thought I didn't need to call in to change to manufacturer mode, but after a couple hours I realized I needed to do that! I'm glad though that I didn't wait the 14 days to get the code - seriously my impatience is worse than the $4.
If anyone has opinions on what ROM to flash please share. After the unlocking and rooting I'm ok with setting with a rooted stock Mate 8, but I'll get restless soon..... LOL.

i don't know why but i just got a feeling that you are flashoholic just like me, i was ok with stock rooted rom, but i needed to try something else, to change things a bit, so i had to flash nougat, and after that i found my self wanting to root, and i did it, so i am on rooted nougat Rom, i am so glad i did it, but still want more Lol

How did you get to nougat ROM? I am on l29. I am not clear how to get to any ROM given encryption and different builds and what you have to flash back to. Lol.

well i'm on L09 but the diference is just the model files everything else must be identical, the steps i followed are the following: 1- install twrp in your current emui version which i guess in your case should be 4.0 2- download the nougat Rom and the data file for your model and put it on your sd card 3-flash the rom first and then the data file (so far you are still encrypted but as you are using the sd card to flash the files then twrp is able to see them) 4- after you flash both of the files you will boot to nougat and can complete the initial settup process 5- now to get root (optional) you can flash twrp for nougat using fastboot and then the recommended supersu, the thread to do that is located somewhere in the development forum if i am not mistaken.... i know it was quite lenghthy but those are the steps i followed.

I'm still reading about the ROM options - KangVIP, Twisted, Nougat...to see what I want to try first. :silly:
Keep us posted on what rom you try. Im also looking into nougat roms but have read so far they are not fully stable yet. My current rom, b211, runs perfect for me so i dont want to run into issues with essentially beta builds.
Hello,
I'm reading for a while about Huawei mate 9 pro and found many reviews and comparisons which are very promising.
I really trust this forum and i became little worried when I couldn't find that many threads about it. So I'm asking people who used this device if they recommend to purchase this phone or not.
Appreciate your advices amd thanks in advance.

This is just my personal opinion and experience of the phone, im just loving the phone, it has extremely good camera that i use taking photographs in every situations, the low light photos could be better, but i think software updates can improve that part. There has not been any lagging, everything is so smooth and fast, also i havent had any problems with notifications, they work perfectly in every app i use. There are some bugs in the EMUI 5 software like font changing works only in english language etc, but i think those will be fixed in future updates. Battery life in my personal usage has been very good, usually at night time i have 25-30% battery left even i use phone very much during the day, anyway i would personally recommend this phone to anyone because it is very good phone and i just love it.
Yes, best Android experience I've had in a long time. And, I come from a long line of Samsung devices.
Thanks guys.

Best android around.
People who are after an Iphone built quality and super Android performance at 20% to 30% cheaper comparatively should go after the Mate 9 Pro .There is no similar package around.Dual sim and 128 GB plus 6 GB RAM are insuring it to be the best Android for the months to come regardless what Samsung will try to promote.That Phone is the best i had.
I also like the phone a lot ,the feature i was looking for most was great battery life on a high end device (had the S7 edge,Oneplus 3T before this one ) the battery life is amazing and this is the only phone that I do note have to charge to top up the battery during the day.
Buy it, no regrets.
that sounds promising
thanks guys for your reviews.
but don't you find it weird that there is no section dedicated for this device till now in the forum?!

my only complaint with my M9Pro here in the USA is that i'm still stuck on B124. check for updates through HiCare everyday and nothing. Called Huawei customer service and they say they roll out updates by serial# but I've seen around 2 updates so far that people are on which means that Huawei CS is full of it.
I hate when updates are super delayed. I love the M9Pro but I'm really missing my Nexus 6P because of this one issue. The lack of current security updates and such is nerve racking

While I do know of this method and appreciate your assistance, the point I was trying to make was that getting updates shouldn't require us to jump through external hoops. The manufacturer needs to make updates more easily accessible and if they know they can't do that because of all the customizations they implement then they should consider just using stock android and build their proprietary apps to be Play Store downloadable and simply put restrictions that limits those apps to be installed on certain phones.
Why not just get the China version, works flawlessly on US networks + you get the updates.

Yes, i agree
I agree but AFAIR the problem is that the graphic section of the SoC will not receive any official Android 7 drivers support anymore. The architecture of the section is pretty old (from 2012) so Huawei and Mali will not care.

Maybe. I do not know. But large companies do not work like that.
Of course I want to have Android 7 on my P8 but I think it is highly improbable, at least officially.
I just want to say just one thing as Huawei argues for updating a low medium like gt3 and abandoning 2 top ranges like p8 and mate s i think the same fate will be on the p9 series as they will not even have the 5.1th nougat is the first is the last major Update then will go on until the 2 years with patches and think that Samsung in November updates to nougat even j5 2015 is absurd
Other significant Andorid 7 / Nougat P8 threads to see what has been discussed before:
[Discussion] Not happy P8 won't be updated to Nougat? REPORT! [possibly the first such thread]
Nougat might be coming as said by a Huawei employee [not true of course!]
Huawei P8 Nougat Petition [support the cause if you can]
Can people please refrain from starting any more related threads - it's getting a bit annoying now. Do a forum search instead.
Ok here's what Dumbawei thinks:
- Oh look, we just selled 20 million P8 Lite! This is a great thing! We also have to upgrade to Android 7 but the hardware of P8 Lite isn't good enough. SO WHY THE HELL SHOULD WE DO THE SAME ON THE P8? THEY HAVE THE SAME NUMBER BRUH SO THEY'RE THE SAME RIGHT?
Here's what developers think:
- Hey the P8 Lite is so popular so we should mod it anyway why not? He can't run almost nothing including itself but WHY NOT??
Here's what Resurrection Remix developers think:
OH GOD THIS CAN RUN ALMOST NOTHING INCLUDING ITSELF. LET'S MAKE A ROM FOR IT!!
Here's what P8 Lite owners think:
Ma niga dis phone crap af why did I buyed it ma niga
Or else:

Cool. Maybe we will see an update by the end of the year though I expect it to come after Xmas.
Yes, and which version will get it first? Chinese, European, or US? Anyone want to hazard a guess?
Typically, the Chinese get it first, then India, middle east, Mars, Pluto, Alpha Centuri, THEN the Usa MIGHT get it.
Personally, it really doesn't matter to me. Marshmellow was stable on my Mate8, as was Nougat. Nougat is stable
on my Mate9. Other than security patches, it really doesn't matter...to me.
The new features are not that important. Only thing that's be really great to have is the filling API so you can use password managers easily.

I'm really excited about Oreo's tunable doze. Well, assuming Huawei release enough sources to let us take any advantage of it. Standby time on this phone is not great. I have maxed out LTE signal, I live across the street from my cell tower and it still loses 5 to 8% overnight. Greenify was no help, nothing's running, no abnormal wakelocks etc. It's just bad apparently. I can only imagine how bad it is for anybody that has less than perfect signal where they live.
Strange I lose 1 to 2 percent overnight

A little off topic but battery usage on the Mate 9 is odd for me. Here is what I noticed:
If I unplug my phone then dont use it all overnight, my phone goes into deep sleep for 97% of the time as reported by BBS. This results in a battery drain of about 0.2-0.3%/hour.
Even if I just turn on my phone for 1 sec to see the time, and do not use it at all for the next few hours, my phone never gets back to as high a deep sleep figure. Wake time with screen off dramatically increases and my battery drain goes to about 1-1.5% per hour.
If I use GPS, battery drain is really really bad.
All that being said, I am hopeful Oreo and EMUI 5.X or 6.X improves on battery life.
I use appops ... To turn off lots of apks like messenger , fb , I deny lots of the permissions and I still get 3 days easily on battery life

I have seen a lot of reports of bugs with Oreo - for google and nexus devices, so I hope that Huawei's implementation of Oreo is a version that has those bugs - fixed.
US version will be getting oreo

Typically, the Chinese get it first, then India, middle east, Mars, Pluto, Alpha Centuri, THEN the Usa MIGHT get it.
Personally, it really doesn't matter to me. Marshmellow was stable on my Mate8, as was Nougat. Nougat is stable
on my Mate9. Other than security patches, it really doesn't matter...to me.

The US version of the phone will be getting oreo, no "might" to it supposed to be sometime in December, they already had a beta for the US version (long closed) and that build is available on ff (MHA-L29 8.0.0.321 (C567)). I installed it and so far it's just as stable as nougat, not any substantial changes except for the kernel jump to 4.4 from 4.2 and the October 5 security update. Huawei Oreo update includes project treble which will make further updates easier and hopefully more timely.

I haven't seen any real bugs so far, most of the "bugs" reported with Google and Nexus devices had more to do with that particular devices HAL than the Android framework itself, if tried pretty much all the features so far and haven't noticed any issues, especially this that have been reported by Google pixel and Nexus users. IMHO since Huawei manufactures their own silicon and writes their own HAL code they are probably a little better equipped than companies (lg and htc) that just are relying on closed binaries and documentation from SoC suppliers.
lol tought it was a new thread

Are root and xposed working in Oreo? And are there any custom rom for Oreo now? Thanks!

I haven't rooted in years. Last phone I rooted was a Galaxy Note. After the Mate2, 8,9 I've never had the need to root.
No custom Oreo ROMs

As far as I know there isn't a root yet for the Oreo ROM, no Xposed either. The mate 9 is on the list to get lineage 15 which is Oreo, but there is really no telling how long it will take to get a usable ROM from them.

what about the ads in apps and everywhere else?
Use dns66 - works perfect for me
You're a power user. Can the Honor V10 keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Honor V10. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I like the mobile myself but I have no idea if this company releases kernel sources or allows unlocked bootloaders easily.

Looking at the past experience with devices like Honor 8 still stuck on nougat I don't want to encourage Honor brand owing to its poor developer friendly nature and broken promises

dude, how many phones did get oreo ? even the recently launched op5t (next to pixel in software updates ) has nougat pre installed . wait for 2018, you will surely get. and believe me, Oreo already has battery drain bug and that's why 8.1 launched recently .
consider famous brands like s8 and note 8 , they are still using nougat.
Of all oreo devices out there now is in beta phase only.
so.. do you want slow update STABLE os or do u want fast update BUGGY os ? believe me, i have used honor 6 and oneplus 3 and i certainly felt like you before switching to oneplus 3 but the weekly or frequent updates made a headache for me. well that's may be just me. but it's also a fact. neither am against a company nor am favouring anyone but i just stated my point
I don't know if everybody here thinks wrong, or I am wrong . Honor v10 comes with Oreo out of the box.

dude, what about Nokias, HTC U11, U11+, some Honors already, Xperia XZ1, Compact, Xiaomi, and many others, not mentioning all with Android One program? And "consider famous brands like s8 and note 8 , they are still using nougat..." Well, thats just Samsung, never been so fast with updates, nor it's a famous brand, the s8 or note 8 (but you've meant models, not brand, right?).
Honor v10 comes with oreo and treble support, so you can't even compare that to pre oreo phones that were born with nougat. In theory the treble support and the fact that Huawei released the kernel sources for this phone straight away, should allow for some decent community development
On top of that, I think Huawei was just giving out 100 free devices to willing developers because they want to strenghth the custom rom community for this phone
I think honor really trying to compete with one plus by helping developers by providing all the hardware details and documentation to develop custom Roms for the Honor View 10 and with the treble support soon we will get many custom Roms. I hope developers will take interest in this device.

What stable os are you talking about..
I bought the view 10 recently .. it was all good till i got the recent face unlock update..
The touch lag is pathetic ( couple of other member's here pointed it out too )
Before the update it was fantastic , but now for a person who types fast its very annoying..

Me too have bought same view 10 and got updated os. No touch lag problem for me. Did you do format after the update ?

Yes , wiped chache and even full reset , still i can notice the lag .
I thought it was just my mobile but found out in this forum couple of other guys too have the same issue ..
Can anyone post their touch latency figure's ?
If anyone could do before and after update it would be highly appreciated
Which community? Since the bootloader is locked this device is crap for me. I will replace my Honor view 10 with an OnePlus . Cu
Dead.. Community development is bad.
Broken recoveries.
Difficult and buggy flash procedures that render different results.
What works on one phone isn'tguaranteed to work on the next of the same make and model.
Really nice hardware.. Just tedious flash procedures.
Many other companies willingly help developers... While honor steals improvements and then locks down their phones.
If you really want a flash friendly phone.. Huawei and honor isn't.
My next phone will be a Samsung Galaxy note 10 international version.
If you're looking for a development-friendly phone, Honor is not the solution for you. We do have a program where we give out bootloader unlock codes to a select number of people every once in a while, but there is no official support for unlocking your bootloader. This results is a very small development community.
