I did some calculation. Starhub and M1 cost exactly the same over 24 months. One is more pricey in phone, the other in contract. Does it come with a Huawei watch or some wrist thing?

i jus recontracted with M1 and no freebies like Huawei watch were given. guess its was a launch promotion or it show promotion.

Nice but very tempted to try mate8. Can't seem to find any 2nd hand around. Anyway Jazz man so out of the box I don't update firmware ?

Sent from samsung S7 Edge (Black) using GAGT

haha I don't mean don't update,but that's my personal preference.
I also gian to try s7e but have made promise to my girl that this mate 8 gonna last me a year of usage without buying new gadgets.

Can i check whether any bro here feels the power button is a bit wobbly compared to the volume button?

In my set, i feel so.. Volume buttons are much protured and firm. But power key is bit recessed and wobbly..

is it like that in most of the sets??

Just purchase my huawei mate 8!, I understand what you mean by wobbly. But is normal I tried the demo and 2 open set. Is not very wobbly just slightly loose compare to the volume button ( Which is also moving Abit)

Edge is gimmick. Why bother?

Is not gimmick n much improved over previous S6e. If one uses it is quite an useful tool
I had both Mate8 m S7e
Overall S7e is a better performance phone, very much better camera n it's display is nicer too. Only it cannot match Mate8 battery life ( for me 10-11 hours SOT) vs S7e (7-8).

Anyone know how to disable the screen for auto dimming during surfing ? Auto brightness already off. But whenever I exit app the screen goes back to normal.


edit: found the solution under battery performance.

Overall the phone is quite impressive. Bring me back to z ultra era.

Jazz what is the firmware you using now? Mine out of the box is b170. Check on update it say mine is the latest already
Same here.
Day 4 now.
I never saw any message about updating OS.

Jazz, your phone came with firmware older than NXT-L29C636B170? And batt was better?

yes, when I bought this phone, firmware wasn't ending with 170.
you guys just try it first, I guess you should be satisfied with the battery.

I'm on 50% with about 7hrs SOT. WhatsApp group chat always on (always running) as well as wechat (occasional). not a gamer.

How to disable telco bloat apps in Mate8?
For samsung phones, i keyed some number combi in dial pad and switch the code to international and all telco apps will be gone. Can we do that with Mate 8?

Not saying edge phone is gimmick, but that particular "edge" is gimmick, SS's gimicky marketing strikes again.

Daily tasks speed test between Mate 8 and Edge phone are on par. If benchmarking, Edge surely wins due to the better gfx chip.
