Hope it stays working longer than the Barclaycard app did. They pushed out an other update to that a couple of days later that broke it again. Luckily I read the comments beforehand and was able to skip that 'update'. Still, doesn't instil me with much confidence in them knowing what they're...

Finally some good news to report - today's update to the My Barclaycard app fixes the crashing issue! :D Only taken them 6 months but at least it works now! No sign of an update to the banking app but hopefully it won't be far behind...

Thanks Edwin, you are a life-saver :)

My wife has been coveting my Mate 9 for a while now and wants to make the switch from the Note 4. However I just want to make sure that the HSBC banking app will work on this phone before she does? I know from bitter experience that none of the Barclays apps work (and they haven't since I got...

Well they just responded with this corker in response to my complaint... "I absolutely appreciate why you feel this way; I’d feel the same in your position. I’m afraid I don’t have an update regarding timescales as yet." With customer service like that I'm beginning to wonder whether I...

Good idea... have done just that and think I will do it every few days just to **** them off and hopefully they'll do something!

Whilst hearing that does not really surprise me, it does depress me. I don't think I'm prepared to go to the extreme of changing bank though. Ironically I've just installed it on a spare Windows phone (that I keep for the odd bit of Xbox live mobile gaming) and it works perfectly! Still a pain...

Just in case anyone else is looking for some info I thought I'd update this thread with the latest situation. Unfortunately it's not good news - a very poor show from Barclays - this STILL isn't working. I've complained again (lost count how many times I've done so now) - here's the latest...

That's disappointing to hear... I have an Echo in the house and love it... was hoping for the same functionality on my phone :(

Is this not available in the UK yet?

Did a bit of digging and here's the list of countries where you can get the 3 year benefits...

Its called "Huawei Gold member VIP service"... It's offered directly by Huawei. Unfortunately for you I think it might be exclusive to European countries. I'm in the UK...

So this is basically iMessage but for Android? How does it send texts from a PC/Tablet - does it require your phone to be on or does it send them via the Internet?

I do that too, not tried it with SMS messages as most people I know don't bother with them any more but I can quick reply from WhatsApp on my watch for sure.:)

I'm loving the Mate 9 - I came from an S7 Edge. The only thing I miss is the safety net of the IPxx rating (not that I ever used it), other than that the Mate 9 is the better phone for me. The screen is amazing, it might be a lower resolution on paper but in practice I can't really tell the...
