Huawei P8 & P8 Lite - Reviews, tips & tricks

All good on Marshmallow - some new features / redesigned menus.

Memory usage definitely up though - sits in the 1.3-1.5 GB free after closing all apps. Used to be in the 1.8-2.0GB range before.

Icons are bigger too.

Marshmallow is probably bigger than the old one.
Are you on Vodacom?
Does it have tap to wake now?

Think it is actually smaller. Had about 1.7GB internal storage free before the update. Now have 3.5GB.

Yep, on Vodacom.

Just checked the settings and tested, double tap to wake working.

Scheduled power off and on looks good too -haven't tested yet though.

Thanks for the info. Also updating as soon as I get a chance
 
Just picked up 2 P8 lites as upgrades for my workers contracts and they are the dual sim version. Got it from Telkom 1 black and the other white. ALE-L02.

I thought it was only cell c selling the dual sim version
 
Updated my sister's P8 to Marshmallow.

One problem - contact list is stuck on updating.
Contacts are accessible from all other apps - sms, whatsapp, etc.
Received calls shows proper contacts names.

I tried disabling all accounts that sync contacts - still stuck on updating contact list.

Any ideas?

I would try removing the Google account and then adding it again.

Tried this:
Here is what worked for me for the same issue on my LG G4 after Marshmallow update after hours of trial and error:
1. Make sure you are on WiFi
2. Put the phone on Airplane mode
3. Disable/Unsync Google contacts under "Settings->Accounts->Google-> Contacts Sync"
4. inside the Account and Sync settings, remove all accounts, like Google, Facebook, LG, Gmail, Skype
5. Clear Cache and Data of Contacts under "Settings->General->Apps->Contacts->storage"
6. Clear Cache and Data of Gmail under "Settings->General->Apps->Gmail->storage"
7. Clear Cache and Data of Google under "Settings->General->Apps->Google->storage"
8. In the same way go through each app in the list and clear cache and also data if the data for the that app is something you can get rid of
9. Turn off Airplane mode
10. Add back Google account under Settings->General->Account and Sync
11. Enable /Sync Google Contacts under "Settings->Accounts->Google-> Contacts Sync"
12. Now your Contact Apps will have all the local and Google/Gmail contacts
