I'm still new on my mate 7 and I really wanna know all the details about the first picture attachment (what should I do exactly? Where are the pictures to download them?)
Regarding Emotion UI upgrade .. does anyone done it before and noticed any (disadvantage, disappointed results, decrease in battery life, Any improvement) over the default version comes with the phone?
Any suggestion would be helpful..
Thanks for reading, best regards ..

#1 is an update package for the magazine lock screen that changes the set of images that are randomly displayed on your lock screen. If you want to keep the current images, you have to save them in the lock screen by swiping up from the bottom and tapping the heart icon. Otherwise they'll be erased by the update.
As for the fw update, I'm on fw 137 for the L09, so I can't comment.

If you have the magazine lockscreen activated and set it to automatically change the background image (by tapping the "play/pause" button), swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap the "heart" button to save an image permanently. This way, it won't be lost when you install the updates.
As vonotny told you, you can save the pictures you like by pressing on the heart icon. After that you can move them in another folder if you like. When they make an update with other pictures, older pictures ( not all I think ) are erased. I saved it all of them and move it in another folder and in my computer.
As for the EMUI update, all I can tell that when I bought the phone I made the update from the B120 version that you also have to B125 and the only downside it's that I doesn't show more than 30 hours in Ultra power plan. IN B120 version it shows up to 60 hours. You can check it out to confirm if you like.
Anyway that it's not real important because the baterry life it's great but if your phone it's new you must have patients the battery life will increase with every new charge. Also don't let your phone discharge completely, if you want your battery to last longer
Battery care
The battery's capacity will decrease rapidly if it is not used for more than 6 months. Do not leave the battery idle for long periods.
Wherever possible, use the battery charger provided to charge the battery.
Do not wait until the battery level is low before charging. Try to charge the battery whenever you can to prolong its lifespan.
Avoid using the phone when it is charging.
After the battery is fully charged, promptly disconnect the battery charger. Charging the battery for too long may reduce the lifespan of the battery and charger.
Do not subject the battery to high or low temperatures or large temperature fluctuations. This reduces the lifespan of the battery.

If you want to do the update of EMUI and after that you don't like it you can downgrade to original version manually. But you must be carefull. From what region are you?
You can choose you region from http://consumer.huawei.com website and take a look of the latest firmware for your phone under download tab

Thanks VM Vonotny,
I've done the samething, the reason i been requesting a screenshot that i didn't see (Magazine Screen-lock even during unlocking the phone because i was using Fingerprint + PIN that doesn't show's the Magazine Wallpapers directly when pressing Lock button on the phone) .. So i stopped the Security Fingerprint and activate the "privacy protection" mode and it worked .. I'm able to use Fingerprint + PIN + Magazine Wallpaper
Now I've pressed "Heart Button" on all wallpapers, should i do anything els? I've my own photos in the gallary, are they going to be deleted?
Thanks for your reply tho!
Regards,

Hey alex,
You've talked about important thing that i am really want to know about and been looking for
1st. Battery Life
A) I've got the phone on stock EMUI B120 version, and directly start testing the battery life,
(I.) The Maximum Screen On Time = 7h 44m 50s (NO LTE, WIFI ON, BROWSING, WHATSAPP, Clash of Clan) Battery level were 3%
_ So, Running Clash of clan for too long really drain the battery life like super faster
_ Another Screen On Time = 8h 56m 49s, Battery level were 4%, Without intense CoC game.
(II.) Then, I tried to use combination of Ultra Mode & Smart Mode (I'm using Ultra-Mode when i attend university lectures, driving, swimming with friends, things that i basically won't use the phone in smart-mode), while (Using Smart-mode in break time between the lectures, OR when i use it sometimes during the lectures itself, Waiting Someone, etc..)
- I think as results shows that it significant last the phone battery life longer in case if you just don't need to recharge every time every night, as Screen On Time = 5h 45m 46s, Battery discharged since = 2d 13h 19m 18s, Remained level = 23% this percent has extra time of (Ultra-mode 15h OR Smart-mode 7h) as shown in pictures in attachment
2nd. Battery Lifespan
A) Actually i'm keep using the phone until the battery life drain to 3-7% then i switch off the phone before sleeping and plug it in the power adapter, I think some peoples say this way is the best, (Phone is switched off = no background apps running, battery level really does prolong with you more than the ordinary way of charging the phone as I've tried it myself with Samsung Galaxy Note phone as an old experience)
B) The first 50% of battery charging took around 1 hour exactly to be filled faster in the first 50% and total of 2-3 hr for 100% Complete charge.
C) The only drawback is under heavy battery consuming games, such as Clash of Clan (CoC) doesn't last more than 5-6 hr or might be maximum of 7 hours but no more, even without clash of clan and under normal screen on time you wouldn't get more than 9hours doing basically ordinary things such as (WIFI, browsing, whatsapp, open game & close it quickly, calling, watching videos, playing musics etc...).
3rd. AnTuTu Benchmark v5.6.3
_ Take a look into the picture in attachment that is all i know about Benchmark (i'm not experienced on those apps like other people)
4th. Huawei Official Website to download the Rom
_ Actually my region is (UAE) so i can't basically get the ROM I've done what you've said and when click on Phone model > Support > Download ==> I got a white page in the middle of the website showing nothing neither in "Download page" Nor "Manual Page" ,, All i need is to get the orginal ROM that came with my phone which is "B120 version" just in case i didn't like the upgrade of "B123 version" that i got in OTA at the moment! I Would be appreciated if you knew any idea about this or a way to take backup of ROM from my phone directly!
5th. Regarding the Two-XDA Links
First Link ==> It seems to be firmware "B125" does have a problems in showing Maximum battery life in Ultra-mode and Smart-mode while phone charged to 100%, so i will keep away from it as I only have "B123 version available to download but i don't know if it shows the same as B125"!!
second Link ==> Yes, the guy is lucky to get his "Switherland ROM version for LT-10 Model" but i don't see mine when i changed the "Region" as well as I've also commented in the post before but still he didn't replied to me ..
Overall, I'm really appreciate your work by sharing your experience with EMUI Updates and Battery life and Span Guideline .. :good:
Best regards,
has anyone worked out how to use their own photos in magazine unlock?
edit: found it. Swipe up
I recently updated my Nexus 5 to Android 6.0 and now when I go to the dialer and enter *#*#4636#*#* the testing menu is now missing the "Battery Information" menu. It had phone uptime, battery health, battery temperature and a few other things.
What happened to it? I still get the other three options but not the one I want. Is it just gone? Maybe moved to a different place?
I just noticed this! I wanted to check what the health of my battery currently is, but now there is no way to check this anymore? Seems like the exact opposite of what Google wanted to achieve with Marshmallow, giving the user more insight into battery information.
Hello, what factors influent watch face power consumption?
I am aware about AMOLED pixels issue. What about app. functionality?
For example: stock chronograph face is touch enabled - when touched is switches on the chronograph.
The same about faces with widgets on them.
Does app. functionality increase power consumption?
Do disabled widgets consume power?
I presume that functionality power consumption is minor regarding pixels value.
Of course, I presume that stock faces are well debugged and power savvy.
Am I correct?
Thanks!
Until a couple of days ago I had a daily battery consumption of about 20% a day (couple of calls, some email, 5/6 Whatsapp notifications, no AOD), which means a battery duration of almost 5 days. I used a pretty simple watchface (called "Submariner") with seconds hand and date.
Two days ago I switched to the Samsung Outdoor Watchface (free on the market) dark version, showing steps, day of the week and month, barometer weather and battery percentage all at the same time; I made a short trip for work (about 350Km) where I got some weather update notification and some mail; at 15:00 the batter was almost empty (i started at 5:00 AM with full charge) and the phone shut off. So with the new watchface the battery apparently last half a day. Watch was connected BT with the phone, no GPS, no audio, n AOD.
I will make another attempt in the weekend but I suppose that choosing the right watchface could mean a lot.

Oh no doubt. Even light color faces use more and the more going on the more power it uses. It sounds like that new face has a lot going on. I've looked at that face and you maybe unsold it to me. ☺
Since a few days when the battery of my Galaxy S7 comes to about 30%, it drops suddenly to 3% in one second ! Do you know how to fix this problem ?
Get a new battery
You can try this:
- Go to the dialer
- Type *#0228#
- Press "Quick Start"
- Press "OK"
- Phone will lock automaticaly, don't press anything
- After a few seconds, it should get to the lockscreen. You can now use ist normaly.
If it doesn't get automaticaly to the lockscreen press the Home-, or the Powerbutton, unlock it, and try this again after a few minutes.
there's another discussion about this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/random-shutdowns-to-0-battery-t3726960). I suspect it has something to do with the latest update ..
Changed from a Huawei P10 to s7
Hi All
Just wanted to check if this is normal as i have just come from the p10 ...
The P10 seemed very good at deep sleep meaning that once unplugged at 100 % I would look at my phone after a few hours and it would usually still be 100 %. I have a fitbit attached at all times to my s7 the same as i did on the p10 yet the s7 seems to lose power even when in sleep. i have disabled loads of bloatware in the s7 as i thought that could be the issue (including samsung pay that was forced onto me !) using package disabler pro and although it has helped it still happens. without uploading stats this was more of a question to see if its just the way it is on the s7 ? i have a galaxy tab s3 that holds its charge when in sleep so was curious as its the same version of android i think..
Many thanks in advance
2% - 5% per hour in deep sleep is normal. When the phone doesent go to deep sleep, it could be more than 10% per hour.

Hey guys I tried again to use my watch after a few months because of frustration I updated to the latest version I kept the screen off kept the Bluetooth on and that was it and I still have to put it on battery saver mode within 6 hours. I know this is impossible so what could I be doing wrong? Thanks

I too having same issue

Hi,
I was having the same problem but in my case I found put that it was sort of a software problem.
I have a Xiaomi phone with miui 11 and the battery saving features are very agressive. I then put all the services and programs relates with the watch:
Gear s plugin
samsung accessory service
Galaxy wearable
Samsung Health
With autostart and none of battery saving. Then locked the two apps Galaxy wearable and Samsung Health on the "clean" apps menu (the one we use th square icon to acces on the icons bar).
I make sure that Galaxy wearable and Samsung Health are running before starting watch, and it lasts for two days (I'm using a black and white watchface and only the bezel can wake the watch).
Don't know if it works with other users or with other type of phones or if it's just a coincidence, but since I'm diong this the battery drain stopped.
