[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
Good said, I agree with you, they have done a lot with the software this year, the physical look on mate 9 looks very uninspiring, even their honor 8 looks superior, I would prefer the same back as honor 8.

The camera bump looks disgusting.. it is much about how the camere will live up to the expectations.

I wish it had 3 in one sim/sd slot like they have in some honor devices, most people most use SD card so then they can not use the dual sim functionality.

i am disspointed there is no amoled screen, to be honest I expected 2k amoled this time.. to make it daydream and VR ready.

They could make the smartphone thicker to make bigger battery to compensate for a more high resolution screen and also to get rid of the camera bump.

Personally I have not decided what to buy, it is this against Mi Mix for me, mi mix have **** camera.. that is the main difference..I also think EMUI 5.0 is better in the software department then MIUI.

I wish the price would be little better.

I do not like the Porshe version that much despite the price, 5.5 is way to small, I had a 5.5 before and it is a big difference in experience during the 3 month I had it I bought a tablet, when I get a 6 inch I have no need for tablet.

as I said we will see about the camera.. it is the camera that will decide the true caliber of this device.

if not that Mate series is still one of the very few devices that have an acceptably battery time, not every one want to have a battery back always with you ..

I am extreme heavy user, with a screen on time with about 8 hours per day sometimes more..

I bought mate 8 only about 3 months ago, and I feel if Mate 8 get EMUI 5.0 it would feel reborn again..so not sure how I will do..

I know from past experience the prices of Mate devices are kind of static so there is no reason to wait 6 months to buy it, if you are going to buy it, buy it as soon as possible since the price will not get lower with time.

Just for cpu upgrade, I won't upgrade to Mate 9

Porche edition, out of reach ;)

I am waiting on my Phab 2 Pro to come Tuesday..I have the Mate 8, then got Mi Max, and then got Honor Note 8..sold both of them and went back to the Mate 8 only because of 4G coverage and the Mate 8 is definitely a top phone but I wanted a bigger phone that have great specs as well as full LTE coverage..I can honestly say the Mate 8 is probably the best phone I ever had
[Mate 8 General] ksvictor:
Agree
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
reasons for upgrading would be restricted to: significantly higher gpu performance / double camera. thats it. and if youre a user focussing on those two departments, u wouldnt have gotten the mate 8 in the first place :D so its kind of a moot point to go from mate 8 to mate 9, unless ure just OCD about having the latest and greatest while not giving a crap about cost ^^

Too pricey for now. Maybe next year when the price drops. Our Mate 8 will be revitalized once it gets EMUI 5.
[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Sure! By end of December, emui 5 for sure

[Mate 8 General] MasterThiefGarrett:
I paid 300 euros for this Mate 8 yesterday... it was new..only NXT-DL00... but with your help (thanks again!!) I hope to 'convert' it to an International one... I knew there would be a catch for 300...oh well :P

Mate 9? Hmm maybe next year when the prices drop hahah... the Porsche Edition is definitely NOT worth it if you ask me, that even makes Apple phones seem cheap lol...
[Mate 8 General] p51d007:
No, because I just bought the 8.

I used the Mate2 for over 2 years, because I thought it was a good value.

When the 8 was talked about last summer, I looked at it, but when the price was announced,

I said nope, too expensive. I waited...

Late this summer, with the 9 coming, I started watching the price on the 8 drop. When it reached a

level I thought for me, was a good value, I bought it.

"But, you didn't get the newest software, newest camera bla bla bla."

So? I ran the Mate2 on JB for over a year before LL came around, and still have LL on it now. Latest

and greatest doesn't concern me. As for the camera on the 9? If I really want to take a photograph,

I'll grab my dSLR. I only use the smartphone camera to record work related stuff, mainly close up

photos. I don't play games on my phone, so super duper graphics pixel peeping stuff doesn't concern

me. Oh, 10 years ago, I flashed every new rom that came along for my HTC phones, but things are

so stable today, that to me, a smartphone is a "toaster oven". You turn it on and use it. I don't bother

rooting or anything else. If stock is stable, I leave it alone.

My phone is my job lifeline. All of my service tickets are done on a web based app, as are remote connections

to the machines I work on and monitor. I'm a field service supervisor, so I'm constantly on the phone with

other techs, and factory reps. Around 2,000 minutes on the phone, hundreds of emails, texts, photos, along

with a lot of streaming audio. It has to be a good value, and have a good battery, which is why I got the

Mate2 when I did.

The 9 looks like a good phone, but it is priced like a lot of "flagships"....to high for reality. In a year, if I've

got an itch for something new, when the mate10 is announced, I'll start watching the price of the 9. If it falls

to what I think it is worth to me, I'll buy one.
[Mate 8 General] Ollliver:
No, mate 8 was my first Android after iPhone 3,4 and 5 and lumia 930. I liked the big screen of the mate 8 a lot, but i don't like that googles only reason for making android is user data.

And the apps want way to much permissions.

In may i updated to b320. because i didn't get ota updates and i read articles, stating b320 would be the next ota.

Well it wasn't and i didn't get any update since may.

The going back to mui 4.0 routine, is to much for me, i have so many offline maps on the device for example, that it would take several hours to download them again.

And where to go? There isn't any update for mui 4.1 at all, for six month now.

So the main reasons for leaving Huawei is, that i just see regular updates for other regions in the world and nothing here. L29.

I live in Germany and all companies including, huawei, lg, htc samsung only sell the smaller Ram versions here, like 32 gb and 64 next year if i am lucky.

So i am thinking about a wopping 256 gb iphone 7 plus and never messing with small ram and sd card again.:)
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
it looks like Huawei will compete with Mi Mix , wow what a dream, maybe it will be what Mi Mix should have been since it have some flaws..such as bad camera.

No upgrade. The Mate 8 battery life is amazing as it is. Plus, conversion rate to CAD will probably cost $1k after taxes for the top model. If you already own the mate 8, I see no need to upgrade.
[Mate 8 General] thess:

Honestly upgrading from the Mate 8 to the Mate 9 makes no sense except you're going for the Porsche design version but

1. It's too pricey

2. You'll be losing 0.4" screen real estate

Huawei got it wrong this time around

[Mate 8 General] bluheart:
Another reason not to.upgrade is bad battery backup.

Mate 8 has 108hours rating
[Mate 8 General] vapotrini:
Except that's not a fair comparison by any stretch.

The Mate 9 was tested at 200 nits while the Mate 8 was tested at 148 nits. Plus the 9 is on Nougat which is notorious for it's battery drain. Lastly, the Mate 8's ranking was 103 hours. Very inconclusive imo since GSM Arena has changed their testing procedure.
[Mate 8 General] amin318:
I'm very satisfied with mate 8, if there was a problem i would like to buy a mate 9 but i see no reason for upgrading, i have everything i need with my mate 8 (i mean even heaviest games are just a joke for mate 8 )

Thing is I turned it off immediately, dried it and put it in a bag of rice, for 4 hours after that I took it off, and it was out of juice, charged it for like half an hour and tried to turn it on, it did, however the screen didnt turn on, yet everything else seemed to work, turned it off and is back to the rice bag.

Passport 2.0 in USA covers what it calls minimal liquid damage (see below from passport page). Your best bet is to call the Hotline 1-800-617-5065.

7. Premium Protection Plan

ZTEUSA provides a free–of-charge Premium Protection Plan with the purchase of every AXON device. This means there are no insurance premiums or monthly fees. The only cost to the consumer will be a deductible charge of only $79.99 USD for each claim. The Premium Protection Plan covers incidental consumer damages related to handling issues such as an accidental drop, minimal liquid exposure, or overuse conditions (i.e. cracked LCD, some forms of water ingress, USB connector damage, etc.). Intentional damage and misuse are not covered. The coverage period for the Premium Protection Plan is twenty four (24) months from the original date of purchase. Policy coverage only applies to the original purchaser and is not transferrable to others. Please refer to the Premium Protection Plan for further details.

Hi Everyone!

Just got my phone yesterday and everything is working perfectly except for my whatsapp. I am currently running Oxygen 3.2.7 on A3003 variant.

I seem to be encountering a weird issue on whatsapp. When I am using cellular data on SIM 1, whatsapp is not able to send or receive any messages (but I am able to surf on chrome). However when I am connected to cellular data on SIM2, whatsapp is working normally.

Have been trying to search the net for an answer but to no avail. Hope a kind soul would be able to help. :(:(

[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] mtmerrick:
I just got my Axon 7 recently, and it's my first USB-device - so I don't have any cables for it other than the one (and the adaptor) in the box as of yet. I work at the front desk of a college library, there's a box of all the stuff students leave behind and normally never come back for staring me in the face ever day with a shiny new Pixel Phone charger and cable in it. I could use a charger to keep at work, but thinking it through, would it even be safe to use with the Axon 7? This phone is Quick Charge 3.0, that charger is USB Power Delivery, and we've all heard the horror stories about mixing USB-compliant and Qualcomm compliant hardware... but also that some, like the G5, can handle both with ease. I haven't been able to find any information once way or the other on what the Axon 7 can handle, and I'm a little nervous to try it out. Anyone have any actual facts? I really feel like I should know what is dangerous to my phone, and what isn't.

EDIT: additional info: the in-box ZTE charger says output is 5V3A OR 9V2A OR 12V1.5A. The pixel charger says output is 5V3A, 9V2A. So theoretically safe?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] gumbyx84:
You took the charger out of lost and found? ....

The charger should work as it's standard USB-C. As for how safe it is I believe that has a lot to do with the pinout (not sure if that's the right term) off the charger and how much power it puts out. Am I correct in saying this?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] rczrider:
Any modern smartphone (manufactured since the late 2000s when the USB Battery Charging Specification was adopted) should be fine with any charger outputting more than the USB spec of 500mA. Both the charger and phone itself have safeguards in place to prevent your charger or your phone from blowing up, so assuming neither is damaged, they will regulate themselves to maximize the power transfer.

Now, your real concern should be about the cable. Cheap cables cannot necessarily handle the amperage of high-output chargers, so there's a much greater chance of melting your cheap $1 cable. Buy just about any decent brand and you'll be fine.

One note: a lot of folks reference Google's Benson Leung and his reviews of USB-C cables. While I would trust his reviews without a second thought, I would like to remind folks that a cable that supports QC 3.0 very likely doesn't conform to USB-C specifications since QC 3.0 alters the Vbus (12V for QC 3.0, I think) and that breaks the spec. So just because a cable fails Leung's tests doesn't mean it's a "bad" cable.

When it comes down to it, you really shouldn't be quick-charging your phone on a regular basis, anyway. It will significantly and noticeably reduce the life of your battery (your USB-C port, too, but to a lesser extent). Reserve quick-charging for times when you absolutely need it and trickle-charge the rest of the time.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] mtmerrick:
rczrider:

Theoretically, sure. But I'm recalling catastrophic incompatibilities like this one of things that, well, shouldn't be catastrophic. I've come to realize I'm actually quite nervous of something like this happening to my phone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] rczrider:
Then use the included charger. I don't know what to tell you: no one can magically tell you what your phone will do, though it should do something like what the other HTC 10 did in that story: disable charging if there's a problem. It was pointed out in the article that the same model of phone did different things in similar situations, so even if I tell you my Axon 7 charges fine on Pixel charger, who's to say that your phone won't blow up, anyway?

Also, the guy in the article used a Pixel C charger, which is not a USB charger; it's a regular charger with a USB-C connector and is something like 60W. QC 3.0 (what the Axon 7 and HTC 10 both support) is 18W. The Pixel XL uses USB-PD (despite the fact that the 821 supports QC 3.0, I don't think Google allows it) and is limited to 18W (the smaller Pixel is limited to 15W). So yeah, the guy from the article plugged in a charger that was rated more than 3x the max his phone supports. No wonder it nearly blew up his battery.

I stand by my assertion that any modern phone charger will work just fine with any modern phone. And, really, the lesson here is to avoid quick-charging in the first place. It's convenient, but it also damages your phone and the battery. It may not blow up, but it's doing damage nonetheless.

One other note: don't take someone's Pixel charger. I, too, used to work at university lab where kids would leave stuff by accident. If it's there at the end of the semester after the kids have all left, then fine. But it's the middle of a semester (I assume), so give them a chance to come back for it.

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] tiztat:
Hello everybody!

I have an XDA orbit with german WM 6 from O2. Several days after hard reset it starts to get slower and slower, until a day or two later its so slow, it needs minutes to open or close applications. Nothing helps, no soft reset, no registry cleaning, no deleting of programs, .... The only possibility, to get it up to speed again is a hard reset. Before someone asks: I DO use software to get my programs closed for real (SPB Pocket Plus).

Since each time it takes a lot of time to install everything again manually (I usually do a soft reset, before the extended rom installs automatically, because it contains so much I don´t need) I would like to find a way, to prevent it getting slower. I install the things form extended rom I need and some applications I need in addition, like TomeRaider, CardExport II, KeyPass, TomTom, Sprite Backup, Total Commander, ... Neverthelesss I can be sure it will lock up again only a couple of days later.

If I restore the device by Sprite Backup it starts getting slower at once, though I usally have a day or two of remotely tolerable working speed.

Can anyone help me to get that problem fixed?

Thanks in advance!

Interesting no one mentioned the 3 free months of YouTube Red you get in the Pixel's paperwork.

Best thing about Red is you can listen to music while the screen is off, there used to be a few apps that did that in the Play store, but google kicked them out.

EDIT: It's actually Play Music APP. Just open it from your Pixel and it will offer you the 3 free month trial. §

§ This Google Play Music 3 month trial promotional offer is only open to residents in United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia and Germany who purchase and activate a Pixel between October 4, 2016 and December 1, 2017. Offer only available to customers who are not current Google Play Music subscribers, have not been Google Play Music subscribers nor participated in a Google Play Music trial in the past 12 months. To activate the offer, open the Google Play Music app on your Pixel. Offer must be redeemed by midnight (local time) on December 1, 2017. Valid form of payment required at sign-up but will not be charged until the trial period expires. At the end of the trial period, you will be automatically charged the standard subscription price, currently USD $9.99 in the United States, CAD $9.99 in Canada, £9.99 per month in Great Britain (VAT Inclusive), AUD $11.99 in Australia and €9,99 per month in Germany (VAT inclusive) per month. You can cancel your trial at no charge at any time before the trial is over. Offer requires a Google account

NOTE: If you've already used a trial or have an account, you can just add another google account to your phone and chose it instead when you open Play Music, you will lose songs from your previous account, as it will delete them when you switch accounts, if you were already using it.

NOTE2: I've since used mozilla/firefox with adblock plus addon to listen to youtube videos, since it allows you to turn off the screen and it continues playing.
