Small update:

The included Flip cover (Dot Matrix cover) is OK but not really useful other than as a stand. As a stand it is great but I thought the "LED like" graphics would be easier to distinguish than it really is. Also, I don't need to know the weather or time. That part feels more like a gimmick than anything else. A pretty big downside to the cover is that the phone feels waaay more bulky than it is otherwise is. So, if you are on the run, just remove the cover. The phone feels and looks much better without it. If you are at home, then use the cover so you can watch movies more easily. :)

I also noticed that the phone disable services whenever the screen is locked. This is a bit annoying when you use an app like "Lastpass" for example. The Lastpass service is constantly disabled. Does anyone know of a fix for this?
[Huawei P8max] milanvot:
The dot matrix cover is the best cover I have had on any owned phone and the reason is you can accept / reject calls, silent alarms WITHOUT opening the case. Yes, no need to open it! The case is touch enabled! Not everyone knows this!

Is it odd my 701L 64GB Gold did not include a case? Box was sealed and seems completely intact, just no case?
[Huawei P8max] poLiSen:
Wow. Crazy price drop.
[Huawei P8max] poLiSen:
I don't know. I thought all 64GB models came with the cover. Did you get a box like this - https://i.imgur.com/EH2IhHF.jpg?
[Huawei P8max] kingkea:
Eh, no. My box looked like that but was less tall and did not include the cover.
[Huawei P8max] AWFRONT:
Hi Everyone! Got my P8 Max DAV-701L 64GB Titanium Grey last week. Really happy with it (100% the best phone I have ever owned) and it has all the LTE bands operational here in the UK like 800, 900, 1800, 2100 and 2600 and fully compatible with Vodafone, O2 and GiffGaff and other MVNOs that rely on mainstream operators. Also, the packaging of my phone for model DAV-701L was stating that it was the Middle East version with MEA printed on the box and unfortunately there was no case in the box which to me was surprising and English UK is not available so I had to choose English USA and then separately download English UK. All in all I am really happy with my purchase which was a real bargain. It is very hard to find this model so make sure you know that it is definitely DAV-701L that you are getting to ensure you get worldwide compatibility with most networks and to avoid Chinese menus which can be annoying to some and the lack of Google apps.

Some issues which I can live with about this phone but would hope that Huawei will address in the P9 Max;

-Lack of a dedicated Stylus Digitiser Pen with dedicated apps etc that can be easily integrated into the body of the device

-Lack of Hybrid Dual Sim with two independent sim slots and an independent microSD slot-I don't know why it is so hard for Huawei, Samsung other big names to do this when some Chinese brands and HTC have been doing this successfully,

-Lack of NFC; useful for some not useful for others but would be nice for a flagship type phone like this,

-Dual Stereo Front speakers; it already has an awesome speaker setup but why not put one on each side,

-NOT THE FAULT OF HUAWEI BUT MORE OF AN ISSUE FOR THE DEVELOPERS: Why is there no ROMs or customisations for this legendary device? Why can't developers of Resurrection Remix Rom for example bring their amazing ROM to this device? _Where are the makers of Galaxy Note series custom ROM developers?

Any questions you have or concerns, drop me a message and I will happily assist.

On a separate note; as a former Samsung Note user and Xperia Z Ultra user, Huawei is now my brand of choice and after the 6th April if P9 Max is announced and is the same size and with better spec then I will look to sell my P8 Max and get the P9 Max. Any offers welcome after this date and the phone will be kept in store condition for the prospective buyer and will come with many extras including; genuine 128gb Sandisk microSD card, cases, spare tempered glass protectors, Sony Wireless speaker and original untouched box contents.

In short, if you are after the biggest and best large screen Phablet then look no further. If you love browsing and watching videos on your tablet or phablet then this is the ultimate compromise.

Enough talking from me. Hope you enjoyed the reading.
[Huawei P8max] kingkea:
Hey, I just got this phone and completely agree. The best phone I've ever owned. Where did you find a case?? Having the damndest time finding the case.
[Huawei P8max] adwinp:
My comments:

1: the P8max is NOT a flagship, but a premium midrange; though I am baffled by Huawei's choice to scrap NFC, especially taking into consideration the initial asking price, which WAS that of a flagship

2: it's amazing that Huawei made such an elementary mistake as to put a side-firing mono speaker - the sound gets blocked by your hand when in landscape mode.

It's surprising Huawei didn't learn from Sony or HTC with respect to front speakers; so yes, I agree with you on that one

3: actually, it IS Huawei's fault. The ONLY sources released specifically for the P8max are the kernel ones from 2015-06-30, AND they have been rendered useless due to deletion of Huawei specific code. In theory, we *could* use the mate S sources, as the hardware is virtually the same as on the P8/max & they seem to include the opensource bits.

I've approached Huawei on several occasions concerning this non-compliance to the GPLv2 code, with no response.
[Huawei P8max] AWFRONT:
I ordered my accessories and cases all from AliExpress.com and whilst delivery may take a while the prices are just amazing and I have bought many items fro their site and sellers are very reliable and good customer service (always make sure that you pay using a credit card and not a debit card for extra peace of mind). In the meantime, whilst waiting for my orders, I have used carbon car vinyl wrap to wrap the device so that it is well protected. I must admit I am 100% sure the device will look better with the right cases.

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------

Thanks for your comments on my post, I learned new things as a new user of Huawei devices but I still think if a device like the Iphone 6 Plus is considered to be a flagship in a marketplace confused by what is truly the best, then with the premium design and features the P8 Max has it would easily be crowned as the most premium flagship phablet built to date. Also, as you stated, It is very annoying to know that Huawei does not comply with GPL v2 code but overall as someone that saw the + and - of the Galaxy Note series and the tortureous camera capabilities of Sony Xperia Z Ultra (that illogical lack of flash on that phone), given the negatives/minor issues I outlined in my post, I think the P8 Max is the best alternative to IPhone 6 Plus, Xperia Z Ultra and many other large phones.

I just hope that Huawei will continue with the same size and better the specification but the rumours I have read today which look almost factual point to a smaller 6.2" device with 2k but lets hope they are wrong.

Here are the ALLEGED specs of the P9 Series: Courtesy of phonearena.com

Can you please link the case you've got?
[Huawei P8max] gideonMorrison:
Thanks for your thoroughly written posts! Some questions:

- Where did you buy your P8 Max?

- I've read that only the Chinese 703 model gets updates, can you confirm this?

- How are the blacks, colours (in comparison to the Z Ultra, also owned it ;) and how is the refresh rate, while watching movies/scrolling etc?

- Are the pixels easy to see, or are they invisible to the eye? Compared to the Z Ultra perhaps.

Thanks!
[Huawei P8max] greddy:
i have the z ultra 4 month, its not a nice phone, sorry :)

But the color black at the sony is much nicer then the titanium grey, the p8max is not really black !!!

This is the only point i dont like on my p8max.

And the screen is more natural on p8max when you looking movies.

Update ? Its not true that international (701L) will not receives updates. Only one guy wrote this :)

I have P8 (normal, China) and P8 max (int.) and the int. running much better with all google services

then the china P8, on china P8 its more tricky.
[Huawei P8max] gideonMorrison:
Thanks for your reply. Back in the day the Z Ultra was phenomenal (2013 phone mind you), but not so much anymore indeed. Shame to hear the black levels on the Z Ultra are better than on the P8max, would have hoped the opposite. Anyone else willing to confirm?

Yeah, I read that the 703 wasn't updated as much as the 701. Why is it tricky to just install the Google apps from the store and make it work like that? Haven't really read about complaints...
[Huawei P8max] AWFRONT:
Hi! I bought my phone from www.souq. com and through a relative in Dubai had it delivered to the UK.

It has been a while since I stopped using the Z Ultra for reasons outlined previously but as far as I am concerned, the P8 Max does not make me wish I had the Z Ultra. Overall experience is many times better than Z Ultra but hope that the developer community will soon tackle the problem of customisations for this lovely handset. As soon as I first turned it on there was an update of around 26mb so I am assuming and hoping that updates will be fast as the Chinese model but given the overall package I have I am not concerned with that. However, given the rumours of multiple side by side or Windows like multitasking thats due to roll out with Android N, I hope we will see relevant updates in time to make use of the screen size for more PC like experience.

Also, happy to post a list of all the google apps preinstalled in case anyone wants to do a conversion to the international model.
[Huawei P8max] vasilis266:
Hello, can anyone having the 701 model confirm the downloading and installing themes through the app in the phone? The huawei app for changing themes?

Cause with the 703 Chinesse model does not llets me at all.....

Any solution for that?

Thanks in advance!
[Huawei P8max] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Theme app works great and no account needed on the 701. On the Chinese one you need to make a account and login to download and install themes.
[Huawei P8max] rimkhan1:
May be a little bit off the spirit of the thread but just for information. I asked Huawei UK about possibility of flashing my Chinese P8 Max with European rom here is there reply

Dear Customer,*

Thank you for contacting Huawei UK Customer Care.*

Regarding your query, unfortunately we will not be able to assist. However, there should be several forums that cover this process. Moreover, I can tell you that there is a chance that the phone will not work within optimal parameters even with a changed ROM because the hardware itself is a bit different than the one European devices have.*

Best of luck and may you have a great weekend!*

Kind regards,

Tony

[Moto X Q&A] locusto03:
I have TWRP 2.8.7.0 and the latest VZW 5.1 debloated ROM from VitaTaf's thread. It's been a while since I backed up my /sdcard/ to computer. I realized that my TWRP backups are visible when booted into recovery; however, the /sdcard/TWRP/ folder is empty when booted into Android. Using Root Explorer, I am able to see the backup files in /data/media/0/TWRP, but the same files do not show up when connected to a Windows computer via MTP (which, if I'm correct, leads to /sdcard/).

I have tried the restorecon command from HERE, but the backups still do not show up in /sdcard/ after a reboot. I am able to move them to a different folder on /sdcard/, but it takes a long time and does not seem to be an actual solution. Trying to move the backups from /data/media/0/TWRP to /sdcard/TWRP/ results in an error.

Has anybody else encountered this strange issue? Any assistance would be appreciated.
[Moto X Q&A] T-1311:
AFAIK the folder is hidden. Try boot into TWRP, connect to the PC and then mount storage in TWRP.

A second option is directly backup to an external USB-Drive.
[Moto X Q&A] locusto03:
Thanks for the tip. I figured it might be an issue with permissions, and your suggestion gave me an idea. I booted into recovery, deleted the /sdcard/TWRP/ folder, rebooted into recovery, and created a backup in the newly created TWRP folder. It now shows up normally in Android and when connected to PC via MTP.

[General Questions and Answers] windowsman01:
Hello all,

I was wondering if it would be possible for a developer to make use of vulnerability CVE-2016-0728 to gain root and inject SuperSU or others to gain permanent root on currently unrootable devices.

"perception-point(dot)io/2016/01/14/analysis-and-exploitation-of-a-linux-kernel-vulnerability-cve-2016-0728/"

Another article here "databreachtoday(dot)com/zero-day-flaw-found-in-linux-a-8808" says that most android phones are vulnerable, even with SELinux enabled, and that it might just be harder.

I realize that I am not a developer and wouldn't understand at all how these vulnerabilities work, but I am just hoping that someone sees this. sorry I cannot post links yet. :(
[General Questions and Answers] jb789:
Here's an active link for those interested- http://perception-point.io/2016/01/...f-a-linux-kernel-vulnerability-cve-2016-0728/

I actually came here looking for discussion about patching this newly discovered vulnerability, but the OP's question is intriguing to the non-developer.
[General Questions and Answers] disasmroot:
This is definitely something I'm interested in as well. I have a verizon galaxy s5 that my wife updated to latest lollipop and can't root it. If I could get super-su injected and then patch this it would be awesome!

I think there is potential.

However: "The vulnerability affects any Linux Kernel version 3.8 and higher. SMEP & SMAP will make it difficult to exploit as well as SELinux on android devices."

A Dutch consumer organization (consumentenbond) is sueing Samsung for the lack of security updates on their devices.

Here a link in English.

Now i wonder. I have for example a smartphone from the Chinese manufacturer 'No.1". I think No.1 users will never get a update about for example 'Linux Kernel Vulnerability (CVE-2016-0728)'.

What do you think, is their a possibility that if the Dutch consumer organization wins the battle, that we can sue all Android device builders who lack the priority of Android security updates?

I just send this email to No.1, curious is they reply (guess not,probably select and past in trashbin) :
