Is there anyone that is on EE with the S6 and uses WiFi calling?
I've been using it for almost a week now and I'm finding it hit and miss, the symbol comes and goes and some texts don't send even though I'm apparently connected via WiFi calling....my broadband is stable so I know that's not the cause.
Thanks
There's issues on the 5.0.2 firmware with it, they've apparently released 5.1.1 which fixes this, but no one seems to be able to download it...

Well great news if that's the case, I've had to turn WiFi calling off because of the issues I've been facing.

Same, it should be with everyone by the end of the week, but don't hold me to that, as we all know how unreliable EE can be...

Well I've been waiting long enough so a few more days will not make much difference.
Spoke to someone today who said they were doing 10k IMEIs per day, which works out at just over 7 days for the amount of branded EE S6/Edges they have. But again, EE are pretty crap at communication / rolling things out so don't hold me to it.

Ooh didn't know it was available now, though will prefer OTA update. Thanks for the feedback.
It went live yesterday after EE and Samsung cracked there heads together I only did the smart switch due to impatience and the clicking noise was irritating ☺

Maverick I'd suggest hooking your S6 up to your PC with smart switch and upgrading, that's what I did and it went perfectly

You can update via SS? I thought it did a wipe.
Nope when you first connect it up it'll tell you if there's an update
Hooray! ?
i really want to buy mate 8 and i love it but i'm afraid from one thing i'm a user that root his phone and use xposed and flash roms
my question is rooting and xposed will work on this phone without problems?
and i think for mate 8 there is no number of custom roms
it is nornal that the phone is new but my question is like after 2 years when the phone stop to recieve update it will be a custom rom for it ? like Cyanogen?
Root yes ,xposed not working, stock ROM is very good with Google now launcher
I don't believe that CM is making ROMs for Mate 8
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-L29 using Tapatalk
Root works, xposed works, no cm ROM in sight but delete a bunch of bloat apps, replace them with Google apps instead, and use layers manager along with theme app for a very close to aosp ROM feel
Have to say, was very anxious to find out how Emui would be in practice. If it would be bloated, ugly, overkill, etc.
But now, after using the device for a few days, can honestly say that I wouldn't want it to be any other way! The amount of things you can change, set or extract techy data from is enormous. Don't want stock Android anymore. Don't want CM13. This is it. Emui rulez! :good:
It's fast, smooth, does it all. No regrets. Can't / won't downgrade to stock/ AOSP / CM

Many people reported that xposed didn't work.
Did it work with you with any modification ?

Mine doesn't even get warm. There are no dots on the screen either. Having a large battery makes it charge a little slower but mine charges fast if I use the original ac adapter and cable.
hi. i read about camera app taking forever to launch. any similar experience? does using another camera app solve the problem?. also how good is the loadspeaker? im coming from s5>nexus6>note edge and they all have pretty loud sound
Hello everybody, I was wondering if someone could tell me the best mate8 model to buy I will be using it in the usa. I'm using the mate2 now and it is a solid mid-ranger. I have unlocked the bootloader and have cm13 running on it now. I would appreciate your suggestions on the mate8 models and why you pick it. Thanks..
I'm interested in buying a Mate 8 and I was wondering if you can shoot RAW pictures using the Mate 8?
I know that it has a "Pro Mode" option but I can't find any videos online showing a full indept review of that feature, so could anyone explain/elaborate on that?
Many thanks in advance!

Most Raw-capable camera apps you can download from the Play Store won't work as well due to crap implementation on Huawei's side:
Shame, really.

If you wish to buy a Huawei phone and need RAW image files, you have to wait for the release of P9 (April 16th) or P9 Plus (May 20th) that both offer this functionality.
Thank you guys for the reply.
That's really sad to hear then. My LG G4 recently died on me with the infamous boot loop problem and I can't get it fixed anytime soon. I might wait for reviews of the new P9 but I do like the Mate 8 as well though. I'd just have to sacrifice RAW function then =/

It's not only a matter of RAW vs non-RAW... P9/P9 Plus dual camera has been yet tested by some reviewers and defined a significant step forward compared to Mate 8 (but still worse than Samsung S7).

You are right, there's more to it than just RAW, but having RAW function is usually beneficial as you can process the picture later and not rely solely on the phone's image processor. Although if the phone's image processor is good to begin with then you shouldn't need RAW.
My G4 had RAW and I quite liked it, managed to get some good shots during my holiday before it died on me(luckily it died after my vacation was over, lol).
How is the Mate 8's Pro/Manual Mode? Is it any good?

Not very good, no. Yes, lots of options but don't buy this phone for the camera. Much, much better alternatives (like your G4).

If there's one thing I can say about this phone, it's easily that it has the best cell reception of any recent device bar none. Seriously, I'm a good 10+dBm stronger than my prior devices: Pixel XL, Axon 7, and more..

For sure. The only thing really bugging me right now is Huawei's lockscreen. I don't have lock screen controls for any of my music apps and actionable notifications are super finicky. I'd be super happy with it if those things were addressed.

Could you let me know the full build number of the firmware on the phone?
From settings -> about phone
For example, maybe it's MHA-L29CXXXBXXX
I was on vacation in America a week ago with a T-Mobile SIM, with the Mate 9 branded to Asia C636 and Europe C432, but neither did VoLTE, so I guess it's a unique feature of the American firmware.
If you're interested in helping to bring the American model's firmware to other people and helping out the community, please get in touch with me by PM, as there are many tests I want to run with your model.

That's a relief. If they've acknowledged it then it's on their radar. I just noticed Pandora's controls showed up but disappeared so I guess it's a bug.
Anyone's camera having trouble focusing more than a few inches from the camera? In monochrome mode, it focuses fine, but in regular camera or video mode, mine can't focus properly. I tried resetting the camera app, but that didn't help.
Yeah, having the same issues on our Mate 9 (Chinese Version) since the latest patch for EMUI 5.0... We tried a factory reset but nothing worked so far. Hoping for a fix soon...
Current software version is MHA-AL00C00B175

I sent mine in to Huawei for repair last week. Waiting to hear back if it will be a repair or replacement. While I was waiting for the shipping label, there was a day where it started working, but then it stopped again.
Also noticed that the focus works fine for close objects, just everything farther away than about half a meter gets blurry... I dearly hope its just a software issue instead of a hardware error...

That was the same with mine. Factory reset didn't help. When I first got it, I actually had the opposite problem but thought I just needed to put macro mode on.
I got my phone secondhand so I don't know if it came like that. The one day it worked again, it did seem like it was slightly blurry though.
Has there been any update on these issues?
My ADM mate 9 has the same issues as above.

Mine arrived there almost 3 weeks ago and I'm still waiting. It's been almost 2 weeks since I got an email from the repair center saying they're looking at it. CS seems disconnected from the repair center and can't give any kind of estimate.
Received a replacement phone today so I'm not sure what the actual problem was. I'm pretty sure I only got the replacement because I called to complain that it had been a month. It's probably better that I got a replacement instead of a repair though.
I have the same problem
Did any one have a solution?

Did you read my post above? They sent me a replacement so I don't know what the fix is. My guess is it's a hardware problem though. Going through warranty if it's available to you is the best option. It may be a long painful process like it was for me though.
All with camera focus problem are with Chinese version of Mate9?
Mine is US. I don't know what versions other people have.
I'm having the exact same issue, with monochromatic looks perfect. But in the rest modes look awful
mine is a huawei mate 9 pro lon-al00c
Our phone was sent in as RMA too, the seller confirmed the hardware problem and repaired it apparantly, just received a noticed that its done and will be sent on its way back to us... I will report if it seems like an actual repair or a replacement, took about 3 weeks + about a week for shipping to china. Lets hope that problem doesnt affect all mate9
But it looks like a software issue, monochoromatic looks perfect

You do know that the mate9 has 2 different camera modules, one color and one monochromatic? If it would be a software issue, there wouldnt be any need for repair/replacement, just an update...
I have the same problem. After searching online for this issue, I realized that it's a hardware issue with the color camera. If I smack the phone, while the camera app is on, the camera is able to focus a bit better. Not 100% though. Very annoying... BTW, I'm on the US version with the B190 build.

Everything work fine with the new way of activating floating windows and Split screens!
I can feel the performance increases too as Huawei has claimed about EMUI 10.1.
However, there is one major "disadvantage" and that is the speaker media volume loudness has been reduced about 30% to 40% as compared to EMUI 10 judging by the media volume control level! It's quite obvious literrately!
If the speaker media volume loudness is a great concern to you. This issue might hold you back! Other than this, EMUI 10.1 is problem free! :good:
