[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] duckstardeluxe:
My numbers are without battery saving features for several messaging apps. Your post doesn't really change the fact that I get 3 hours and 40 minutes SOT pr. 50% charge.

Do you not own the device?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Twotems:
I don't own the device but I'm the OP and started the thread to get real life user experiences like yours, so I'm not doubting your numbers at all. Another user posted poor battery life numbers previously but most are quite good. I'm just pointing out that one of the respected and widely read sites has posted poor numbers though it's with a caveat. I'm very much a Xiaomi fan and I want to replace my Redmi Note 3 with the Mi Mix 2 but I've become spoiled by the battery life of the Note 3.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] duckstardeluxe:
My numbers are primarily on wifi, due to the fact that I am on a leave, to nurse our 3. baby. Hence, I really don't have enough data to tell how it performs stamina wise on mobile data.

Other than that, I'm still very impressed with the device, directly compared to Samsung S7 Edge, S8 and Xiaomi MI 5s that was the last devices I owned. In the battery compartment that is.

Side note. The charger supplied with the Mix 2 is really fast (up to 3 amps in the initial phase of charging). I have a QC3.0 (max 2 amps) and both chargers works really well with the phone. From around 12% to 100% took not much more than an hour to complete in the stock charger. But because of the great battery life in general, I only charge it overnight. When I go to bed after 18 hours off charger I usually have 40% left after 2,5-4 hours of SOT.

Hope it helps you to decide ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] Twotems:
Thanks for the information. With the Note 3 I don't even think about the battery until I put it on the charger at night. Depending on how I've used it during the day I get 3.5 hours sot at the end of the day with 50% left. Your numbers are pretty much the same.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] duckstardeluxe:
Just tried charging with the supplied charger for 5 minutes. It reached 11% gain with screen on during the time mentioned.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers] petitbreton:
I'm on the official global 8.5.1.0 rom. I'm about to do my first charge since I owned the phone : 38 hours total including 5 hours of SOT, games, internet and a little bit of phone calls. This is better than what I had with my previous phone but in par with what GSMArena said I'd say. As it was my first cycle, it should improve in the future. and since Global Miui 9 is due next week, it should improve the ratings as well.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] albi7894:
Hi, i'm looking forward to buy the honor 6x, but should i wait for the 7x announcement? How would i wait the phone to be released in my country (italy) with the national warranty? And, i found the 32 gb version at 200 and the 64 one at 230, do you think the 7x will be around the same price? I mean, not above 250.

thanks a lot
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ChrisChris123:
If you want a little bit faster of a phone, go for the 7x. But if you want a phone with room support already then go with 6x. Also if 7x has oleophobic and hydrophobic coating then I would go for 7x because 6x doesn't and 6x's glass is weak.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] albi7894:
I want a "future proof" phone, and 6x was nice, but looking at the upcoming devices it maybe can be wise to wait. ..How about the price?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jax:
Go for 7x if it comes with full vision display otherwise go for mi a1 or moto g5s plus
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisleLP:
I would say you should wait for it.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
better to wait and you may get something new in 7X.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisleLP:
Of course. Bigger aspect ratio, better SOC, I would also expect better battery.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] albi7894:
isn't the mi a1 the same ad many other phones with that price?

EDIT: Seems like informations on the price have been leaked, it would start from 300$, what do you think?

Yeah but.. will it be the same price that honor 6x had?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jax:
May be its not with those high specs
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisleLP:
I think the price will be a little higher compared to 6X.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jax:
go for honor 9i
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisleLP:
How much is the price difference between the two?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] albi7894:
out of my budget unfortunately
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisleLP:
Oh bummer. :crying:
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Don't think they will launch 7x in this price as if they do, they will ruin the sell of 6x which is still under a year from its launch globally. (Launched on 3rd January).

And 6X is selling in high in global market with some boom in India due to one or the other discounts on Amazon and Flipkart due to festive season. It was on 50% discount on honor store.

By launching 7X in this price, they wont ruin the honor 6x sell. There will be atleast, atleast $30-50 USD difference for sure. And you know, the out of the box OS is almost perfect for the phone because it is tested and optimise for the phones and the application installed so Nougat on 7x will be much better than 6X and then nobody will buy 6x.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Sale kinda this..so definitely not the same price for 6x and 7x as 6x is still their most selling phone in mid range.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
So i would advise you go with 6x or if you can add atleast 30-40 USD extra anytime then can wait for 7X
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisleLP:
Wow those are really low prices.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] albi7894:
Ok, let's put it like this: will it be higher than 250$?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisleLP:
In my opinion, it will be around 280.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Probably around 230-270 USD. well, i could be ridiculously wrong but wish this is below 230 (thinking as an end user here)
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] albi7894:
Soo, seeing recent news chances to get a low price are a bit low, right?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
We can not be completely sure buddy unless it is launched. Till then anything and everything is speculation
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] itisiryan:
I'm sure it will be just at a lower price on first weeks or month of launch.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
it launched for 200 USD
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] itisiryan:
Now that's a nice price

Still no news for the release in europe... where can i contact huawei to ask them?(lol) I really need a phone now and if the wait will be too long i will pick another one..
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] itisiryan:
You can ask them through live chat.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
Go for 9i if released in your country.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] albi7894:
it costs too much (a lot more than 7x)... what if i buy 7x from china?
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
It may be having bloatware. And sometimes even without Google and you may have trouble while installing Google first. Better let it release in your country.
[Honor 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] albi7894:
"thank you for contacting us!

I can gladly assist you with this.

Unfortunately for the USA the only version available is the Honor 6x, and we have no news now wether if it will be release for the USA or not.

You can still be in touch with our social media networks ( Facebook and Twitter), for further updates.

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] woody1:
I just ordered a Mediapad M3 8.4 and I should receive it in a couple of days. I plan to update it to whatever is the latest firmware, add TWRP and also root it. Are there any first steps or gotcha's I should be aware of? For example, should I root first or apply updates first? The reason I ask is that I've had some devices that could be rooted in one version but could not be rooted after updating the bootloader.

Any suggestions appreciated.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] gnirtS:
Firstly check what hardware oem location the tablet has as this effects it. To root or change that you need to get the bootloader unlocked. This is done via a code request website on the Huawei site. After that you can go TWRP, backup and so on.

Check the oeminfo/country ID and flash the appropriate rom for that if you want. If you want to change region, the partition oem files are online and can be done via twrp command line.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] woody1:
Thanks, that's what I needed to know!
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] woody1:
Just for the sake of other people who may just be starting out with this tablet, it turns out that it does matter whether you update first or unlock first. You will not be able to get a bootloader unlock code from the Huawei website after you upgrade to EMUI 5.0, so if you plan to root your tablet, make sure you unlock the bootloader before you upgrade. Otherwise, you will have to downgrade to an earlier version.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] adibadi:
I upgraded first and still got a code. I have the LTE version. In order to get the code, I had to choose "phone" and not "tablet". It could be that with wifi-only version it won't work because you can't provide the IMEI.

Here are some notes from my experience with starting out on my new BTV-DL09 (4G version, bought in Europe):

1) I upgraded the brand new tablet to EMUI 5.0. At the end of the upgrade, I got an error message. But after reboot it seemed to work fine. Bluetooth does not work with EMUI 5.0 but I don't need Bluetooth on it.

2) I unlocked the bootloader. Had to choose "phone" on the Huawei site to get the code because there was no matching tablet with EMUI 5.

3) Installed Magisk 14 using twrp.

4) Systemless hosts doesn't work in Magisk because /system/etc/hosts is a symlink to /vendor/etc/hosts

5) remounted /system as rw, deleted /system/etc/hosts, copied /vendor/etc/hosts to /system/etc/hosts, remounted at ro

6) disabled magisk systemless hosts, re-enabled it, installed adblock hosts module, everything has worked since then.

7) changed dpi to 360 or so. 350 was nice because it made it look exactly like my Galaxy Tab S, but unfortunately the settings app didn't display the left side anymore. So I have larger icons now, but things still run in tablet mode.

If there is ever any update coming for this, I hope it will work if I undo my /system modification (put the symlink back)

I have to say, so far I'm very satisfied with this tablet! It runs super smooth, has great battery life, display, and the speakers sound great. Out of the box it's barely usable and very frustrating to use - I would not really recommend it to anyone if they don't plan on rooting it.

EDIT: just read I can get bluetooth working by upgrading first to B010 then B303, so I guess I gotta start all over again :) Thanks [MENTION=4512961]30adi[/MENTION] for that post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73470572&postcount=380
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] fallen_13:
It has been a while since i did unlocking. But is there a phone model to use when choosing "phone"?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] adibadi:
If you choose "Since EMUI 5.0" you have the following options:

Smartphone (not possible to change this)

Product Serial number

Product IMEI or MEID

Product ID

If you choose "Before EMUI 5.0" you have these options:

Smartphone (can change to Tablet 3G or to Tablet wifi)

Product Model

Product Serial number

Product IMEI or MEID

Product ID

So you don't need to provide the product model when choosing "since EMUI 5.0", but I'm not sure if they will accept one with no IMEI, as in the wifi-only tablet case.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] fallen_13:
Ah ok. I unlocked mine back before EMUI 5 was released. So i had to choose the "Product model" for Mediapad M3. Didn't know that the generic "smartphone" would just do for unlocking EMUI5. That's very helpful and does away with the need to do downgrading. Thank you.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] adibadi:
So after downgrading back to Marshmallow, I got an update message which sent me back to B303 with an OTA, and bluetooth works now. I didn't have to go to B010 then to B303.

I'm not sure what was up with my original version which came preloaded on the tablet, but it didn't show this update - it told me that I was on on the latest version. The update screen appeared at first boot even before I could sign in to gmail. It's called OTA-BTV-DL09C100B009_B303
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] woody1:
OK, I have the wifi only tablet, so maybe the unlock will work with the LTE version, but not with wifi-only after an upgrade to EMUI 5.0. Has anybody been successful in unlocking a wifi-only tablet which was already on EMUI 5.0? (BTW, Bluetooth works fine for me on Android 7.)
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] ScruffMcG:
So your recommendation is to Unlock bootloader before upgrade? Does the OTA upgrade work afterward or can you do it through TWRP?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] woody1:
From what other people have said, the OTA will work while rooted, but I haven't tried it myself yet.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] ScruffMcG:
Didn't you say you upgrade to 7.0? Or did you re-lock bootloader to do that (or just stay on stock bootloader?). Just ordered so I have a couple days to figure the process out, but want to make sure I don't upgrade if I will be losing the ability to root afterward.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] woody1:
Ok, here's what happened to me:

I upgraded to EMUI 5.0/Android 7. Then, I went to the Huawei website to get the bootloader code. I was not able to get the bootloader code, because it appears that the website is not properly set up to give a bootloader unlock code for a tablet with EMUI 5.0 or greater, at least not for the wifi-only version. I'm guessing this is just a problem with the website not being updated to support the latest version.

So far, I'm trying to figure out if there's an option to get the bootloader code without downgrading first. If I can't find another way, I will downgrade, then get the bootloader code, then upgrade back to Android 7. As far as I know, there is not a problem upgrading after you've unlocked the bootloader, but I haven't personally gotten to that point.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] adibadi:
I thought that the unlock code isn't tied to the emui version, but to the hardware, but I could be wrong. Is the requested data for 4.x wifi-only not available in your 5.0 emui?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] woody1:
No the data is all available. The problem is that the Huawei website is not set up to provide a code for a wifi-only tablet that's on EMUI 5.0. It appears to be purely a problem with the website, not an issue with the code itself.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] adibadi:
What I meant was to just select emui 4 on the website.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] woody1:
Yes, it seems like that should work, but when I put in my data, I get a message saying that something is incorrect. Now that you mention it, I don't know how Huawei could know which version is installed. I wonder if the Product Number changes when you upgrade the EMUI version? Maybe that's the problem. Does anybody know about that?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] adibadi:
Not sure if it's the same thing, but I had to try a few times until the captcha worked, that thing was impossible to read. The error message said nothing about captcha, everything else was actually correct but it told me to check my serial numbers and stuff.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] woody1:
If I put in a bad capcha, I get a message saying the capcha is wrong. If I put in the right capcha, I get a message saying "check your information" or something like that. Looks like the problem is not the capcha, but something else.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] mnhfung:
I also got the same message when trying to get the unlock code from "before EMUI 5" page. I have a US version, BTV-W09. I wonder if the product id changed after the upgrade. My product id after the EMUI 5 upgrade is 50222745.

I read another thread saying Huawei replied on email inquiry that they don't provide unlock code for US version, not sure if that's related to the message from the website.

Would like to know if anyone having the US version got the unlock code successfully.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] woody1:
That was my comment in the other thread. I'm confused about what their policy is on providing unlock codes and how unlocking affects the warranty, but nobody else here seems interested in discussing it.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] rclar:
I'm pretty certain that the product code did change after the upgrade; but I didn't write it down till after, so I can't be 100% certain.

I have seemingly completely screwed up my new mediapad with I think a partial upgrade and a locked bootloader, and am running out of things to try.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] woody1:
I'm not sure what you mean by a "partial upgrade". As far as the bootlegger code, I suggest that you give up and just buy one from DC-Unlocker.com. That's safer than trying to downgrade just to get the code.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] rclar:
At this point i am ready to buy a code from dc-unlocker. Something in another thread lead me to think that they were going to want an imei number...

As far as my comment about the partial upgrade, these are my notes as towards what I have going on. I’m not a total noob, but guess I am just spoiled with how easy the nexus and one plus devices have been.

• Locked BTV-W09

• NRD90M test-key

• Last tried to install C128350 with Firmware Finder

• fastboot oem unlock doesn’t work (I have no code). The Huawei website doesn’t seem interesting in giving me a code (check values); I have no IEMI to enter, yet am on EMUI5.

• Can only power up from dead battery on ac (usb starts and then starts shutting down, once into Android)

• Can power down from Android, but it immediately tries to power itself back on, and it doesn’t seemt to work – hangs on “Powered by Android/Huawei MediaPad” screen.

• any fastboot commands, beyond devices or reboot fail.

• Can’t seem to boot into bootloader from/with adb or recovery screen

• Huawei Firmware Finder (Team MT) mostly works, but since it doesn’t either shutdown or start correctly, whatever I try doesn’t install.

• Three key combo sequence to install from sdcard doesn’t appear to work

• reset of tablet does not work – it goes to restart, which doesn’t work.

• HiSuite software, says everything is fine.

• Can get into recovery screen, says Phone locked FRC unlocked (oem unlock in developer options is enabled)

• can adb

I’m at a bit of loss for things to try. I think the test-key problem means I need to flash the hw data update that goes along with the release, but I don’t have anyway that I know of to do that.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] woody1:
Sorry, I don't know what you should do at this point. Hopefully, somebody will be able to advise. When you're in recovery, can you connect with adb? I think that's where you need to fix this.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] rclar:
On that screen, I can fastboot, but not adb (I believe). All the fastboot commands fail, as expected I believe, cause of one of the locks I presume. I was hoping I might be able to side boot a recovery through fastboot, but that fails as well in the same way.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] starfall88:
I have a US wifi only version. I also upgraded to EMUI 5 and I'm not able to get a unlock code from Huawei now.

I did a lot of googling and I'm not able to find a way to downgrade to EMUI 4 for the US model W09C128.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] woody1:
My suggestion is to buy a code from dc-unlocker. I read an account of somebody who bricked his tablet by trying to downgrade. I gave up and bought a code and that worked well forr me.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] starfall88:
I was trying with dc-unlocker, but I'm not able to put device in manufacturer mode because I don't have the calculator or the dialer app after updating the EMUI 5.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] woody1:
Are you sure? I updated to EMUI 5 and I had the calculator app. It's dark yellow or orange, I think. You have to turn it to landscape orientation to be able to put in the info you need.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] elcidroyale:
Same happened to me! Did you find a solution?

Jeez it's a nice tablet but you have to jump through hoops to get it fully operational. I just need to unlock it for 5ghz wifi.
[MX Player] ApuloNeko:
I've been using MXplayer for years now, on my tablets. I specifically chose Intel based ones, because then I could be sure hi10p could play in software mode at least.

Now that HVEC is getting more common, especially in anime fansubs, and Intel has abandoned the tablet/phone market, I need to switch to ARM based devices (edit, in case it's not clear: with hardware playback support). However, while the CPU specs state e.g. 1080p hvec at 8 and 10 bit decoding is supported, this is not the case for devices using this CPU, as the manufacturer needs to build in support for their version of Android. So unless one's buying a high end well know phone, it's a gamble whether or not a device will play back certain files.

For instance, I'm looking for a mid range phone, the Moto G5 Plus gets good reviews. The snap 625 cpu should be able to play 1080p h265 10bit anime files from what I gather, but I couldn't find any feedback if the Motorola G5 Plus actually supports those features of the cpu.

Is there anywhere a list to be found where users provide feedback on the results of their devices? I seem to recall I stumbled across such a list on the internet years ago, when h264 hi10p became popular, but I haven't had such luck with hvec support.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
No, you may not get such lists in MX Player forum. Most of the recent devices come with the hevc 8bit support out of the box. but, 10-bit hevc is not supported natively in most of the lower midrange devices. You may have to use SW decoder on such devices.
