You won't have trouble. I have a Huawei watch bought in Japan, and am able to use it with no issues. You need to install Play store from HiApp. Then Android wear will need you to install Play Services. To make the Android Wear app work, you will also need the Google app. Open the google app and leave it open when you open the Android Wear app. But it does work, I can confirm

ordered same as OP today, yippieh

Ho at all, the mate 8 its arrived and work fine but today I see a strange situation. The huawei watch battery after one day its finished, with european mate 7 the battery during 2 days. Its normal?

I see just only this difference of android wear app, the mate 8 have android 6 but the watch have android 5.1.1 its normal? Thx

Hi Guys, bought a Mate 8 from Huawei in Shanghai, I have switched the language to my own, but it will not pair with Huawei watch. The phone says, please pair with approved chinese wear device? Is there anyway the phone can be flashed with a European stock ROM? Or any other help

That's why i bought the best of the Honor's series : H60-L12.
It's Unicom = more updates
It's 32GB = more internal storage
It's dual sim = very very nice feature
It has NFC
And i never had any lag any problem any strange reebot yet (i bought it in 25 november!!)
So, i think i will see LOLLIPOP first, like H60-L02

Yes you can but I guess that you are not Huawei's employee. That Finnsih website got their source from Huawei itself. Another Finnish website has reported the same also.
In English (my own translation):
According to the information which TaskuMuro got from Huawei says that company's top devices will get their Android 5.0 Lollipop updates in Finland at Q2 of next year (meaning 2015). The update comes atleast for Honor 6, Ascend P7 and Mate 7 models.
huawai is under pressure.. if they dont upgrade to Android 5.0 .. lots of people wont buy any honor phones again..
I think this thread needs to be closed because we already have another thread asking for the same thing and nobody has an answer because Huawei hasn't released any dates yet.

Guys. I have contacted them and per their response, they are planning to release a beta version this week or may 1st week. Send your IMEI of Honor 6 and your contact number to their Facebook Page (Huawei India) to get the link. This is for India only.

Never trust honor facebook account... it's managed by non technical people and all honor development is done in China. I suggest also to do not send your imei to anyone ...it's unsafe! Lollipop for honor 6 will be in beta in june... That what is written on the Chinese emui page which is the only real source for honor technical information.

Mate 8 advice, help.

I wil would like to get the Mate 8, but I am concern about the Chinese language and Google services.
Any advice to make my experience good. What should I do when I get the phone first?
I am looking to get this one

Just to let you know I live in the USA and I have t-mobile.
Thank you
I have the same model since last week, and I didnt have any problems, this smartphone is an incredible machine. The Chinesse language isnt a problem, just change the language and download an alternative dialer (if you dont want to see the yellow pages in chinesse feature).
Dont hesitate, great machine.

I had the 10, returned for the 29 with preloaded Google Apps. I was having an issue on the Chinese version with Google Apps and my Google account. The Chinese language on some apps was annoying as well. Now with the International version all is good. Plus it was cheaper.

You can get the 128gb from http://www.gizok.com for 699.99 or the 64gb for 649.99 in both Mocha Brown and Gold. I have no problems with the AL10 with any Google Apps nor do I have anything still in Chinese. I buy all my phones through there. You'll have it in three days after they ship. I ordered mine on a Saturday and had it by Thursday.

Thinking of buying one but.....

I am thinjing of buying a mate 8, but knew from a fan site in Egypt, that some of them found a problem of having some light /white pixels on the screen when it is off/black ?
Is that seriois and happen ? Does it have any remedy ?
hm to be honest this is the first case of stuck pixels ive read about and ive been on the mate 8 forums here on xda since the very beginning. so im guessing its just an isolated incident, no worries

Thank you very much.
Do you have info about the Oppo R7 Plus ? It is cheaper here than the mate 8, and on paper, the specs looks close really.
Thanks again
Don't know where you are located (Egypt?), but in Germany when you buy in a German online shop you can return the item within 14 days without any reason.
Dunno if it's EU-wide.
Additionally if you buy it in a retail shop, you could ask for starting the device before you buy it. Some shops do it, some not. Then you can check for your screen error.
But TBH: never heared about that problem before. Could be software related also...
I switched from a LG G3. The battery lifetime was the only reason. It was so annoying I had to charge the G3 each 4 or 5 hrs... I had wireless chargers everywhere...
With the Mate 8... wow! I come home from work with ~50-60% battery!
Even if you heared from some problems with the screen in Egypt, why no import device then?

Thank you for your replay. Yes am in Egypt, and importing is a bit complicated for inviduals. The well known shops will test the device for you ( after you pay, so it is then a warranty procedure).
I heard that the problem starts after sometime. It can be a software problem as you siad,some people said that found an app on playstore to fix this.
Well, if there's an app that fixes it, then it's a software issue.
Do you know which app it is? I'm very curious.
I just have my mate 8 for 6 days now and very happy. If you like the phone and if you are aware it's a bit bigger (and definately greater ) than your old phone, you will love it.
My LG had the power button on the back. The same spot where the fingerprint reader of the mate 8 is... hah!
If you didn't hold it in your hands yet, you definately should do it. Don't underestimate the size!

I guess the app name is Kill-Pixel.
I love 6 " mobiles, I used then in the last 3 yeras ( Samsung mega, Xperia T2 and LG G2 Pro ), but 2 months ago I bought the htc one e9+ because of its specs. It is reaaly nice but I can not handle the smaller display anymore, so I have to go back to the 6 "
Okay, just wanted to make sure you know how big 6" are.
i agree, i dont think i can go back to sub 6 inch displays after experiencing the mate 8 btw, stuck pixels are actually a hardware problem, which can sometimes be resolved by software, i.e. switching colors and forcing the stuck pixels to get unstuck same principle applies to laptops or desktop monitors.

launcher for Mate 8
I know that mate 8 does not have app drawer, and is similar in its UI to the iphone. I can not live with this UI, so my qestion is , has any body tried any launcher ( Nova for eaxmple) ? Are these laumchers work smoothly with the mate 8, or what ?
i can definitely recommend nova launcher. have been using it on my mate 8 since day 1, works without a hitch

If I'm not mistaken you still get colored square background to all apps which look horrible. Try simply google if your in to rooting/custom firmware.

Where to buy and world warranty?

I want to buy an Mate 9, I live in Sweden and its isnt official released here. I wounder if there are any safe webstore that sells it for around 400-450 euro/pound.
Also, does Huawei have any European or wolrd warranty?
check in amazon es
warranty 2y
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk
Don't expect to get a new device for that price. They are more like 600 euro. I got mine for 380 euro and I gave also sony z3 in the price.
i bought mine here. they ship worldwide.
http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_609471.html?wid=4
A few other questions:
1) Is there a expanded desktop option on Huawei Mate 9?
2) Does Nova Launcher work well on the letest update on it?
3) I would appreciate if someone could post a screenshot with the View Mode on the smallest and the Font Size on the smallest?
4) Hows it going with the release of the Kernal of the phone? Lineage Os?
5) How well have the camera worked on previous Huawei phones with custom roms, have they still been the same afterwards? I have experienced on three different phones that the camera went worse after installing Cyanogen Mod, Lineage Os...
6) How hard is it to port the camera app from Huawei to an custom rom?
We only get Mate 9 Pro here. I bought mine from Conrad.se, which has their warehouse in Germany. Price then (5 months ago) was 7699 kr.
If you buy it within EU warranty is valid.

Yes, strangely Mate 9 isnt released in Sweden, only the pro. I really want an bigger screen.
Eglobal central had Mate 9(MHA-L29) for 412,99€ and now they have it out of stock.
Anyone here know any other China store that have storeroom in Europe(no customs duty)?

Applications to use Google like Gspace, Gbox..... are just a temporary solution. Slow, draining battery, no push notifications........ Good solution is still Install Native Google.
Install native google huawei & Fix Gmail, Facebook, Messenger notifications.... Huawei Mate 50 Series 100% Working
This method is for China Domestic Version Harmony OS 3.0 Tested working well with Mate 50, Mate 50pr and Mate 40pr. You can try it on other phones with Harmony OS3.0 Hello everyone! Huawei Mate 50 Series is undeniably one of the best phones...

Hey guys, just wanted to share.
Today I used this service through telegram @gmsservices and paid 50$ to get my phone rebranded to Chinese version and got Harmoney OS installed
After that I used this guide
to install GMS, he also has videos on errors after etc. so far works great
