Sorry got this one wrong:
-----
Bug #3: Screen casting via Wifi direct no longer works
(used to work with KitKat and Lollipop). Huawei will likely fix it in final
official Marshmallow release.
----
Screen casting via Wifi direct WORKS PERFECTLY in marshmallow beta!
Somehow, I thought screencasting via Wifi Direct didn't work anymore because the update from KitKat to Lollipop to Marshmallow beta inadvertently turned off the Wifi Direct option. (I enabled it using: Settings -> Display -> Wireless Display -> Menu -> Wireless display (I tapped checkbox to enable).
Marshmallow beta is really great. Still no major bugs or crashes or battery drain after about a week of use! I'm very satisfied even if it is still beta software... Looking forward to the official marshmallow release. (So far, after about a week of use, I only noticed two minor bugs: Bug 1: 'camera effects' show scrambled preview but does not affect final picture quality or camera function in any way.
Bug 2: Apps cannot display the date on the status bar. I have an app from playstore (Date on status bar) which I like to always display the date on the status bar so anywhere on my phone I don't have to pull down to status bar to see the date.
I'm never going back to KitKat or Lollipop even if the downgrade package is released.
Marshmallow just have so many features I can't give up --- Playstore purchase through fingerprint; LTE-only option in the standard menu; ability to reduce the size of the status bar and navigation bar; ability to turn your screen to black and white mode and even negative or various color blind options!, wifi direct, fluid/smooth lovely marshmallow material design interface, lots of new camera features, etc. not available in either KitKat and/or Lollipop. Marshmallow beta really is that good! Much better than the final official Lollipop ever was (yes, even better than your original Kitkat software!)
Good work Huawei! Looking forward to your final Marshmallow release soon!
I can hardly wait... I'm sure it will even be a much more refined software with the bugs eliminated!

abo khairy, 29 Jan 2016does it have led notification or no? does it support otg ca... moreSorry, I got this one wrong:
However, if you mean support for apps that control the color of the led light and the blinking rate, (Ex. Light Manager app, Light Flow app, etc.) then no, Mate 7 does not have the LED hardware to support those apps. Nexus devices however support customizable LED colors and blinking rates dictated by LED controlling apps.
------------
I can confirm the Mate 7 TL10 with marshmallow beta DOES support at least the Light Flow app. You can customize the LED colors and blinking rate on the Mate 7 depending on what notification it is the you received (new email, new text, etc.) by downloading the Light Flow app from Playstore. Previously I thought it only worked on Nexus devices. I can confirm now it does work on Mate 7 TL10 (I'm on marshmallow beta.)

Yes, LED light slowly blinks with 'green' light when there is a new text message. Yes, it supports OTG cable and USB thumb drives (FAT32). By 'it' I mean Mate 7 TL10 under marshmallow beta.

Good News! Marshmallow beta for Mate 7 TL10 now available!
Marshmallow beta have many better features than Final Official Lollipop!
- you can now use fingerprint to purchase movies, games, music, apps and books on Google Playstore in marshmallow! No more entering password everytime! hurray!
- knuckle/gesture shortcuts! although I don't use it much since nova launcher prime gestures are easier to use and better!
- smoother, more fluid, faster interface!
Much smoother, more fluid and vastly better than lollipop and even better than Kitkat!
- can resize not only font size but also has 'view modes' (small, medium, large) to
reduce thickness of notification bar and navigation bar! I like being to reduce the size/thickness of the navigation bar and notification bar to maximize reading space!
- can turn off or on specific permissions for each app! (location, storage, etc.), so no more
unnecessary permissions from apps asking too many permissions!
- fixed all stagefright vulnerabilities and all other prior android vulnerabilities!
- based on Android 6.0 having security patch: 1 January 2016! Now that is
similar to latest security patch on recent Nexus devices! Even current flagship Samsung
devices still don't have them!
- looks like iOS and Android with cool material design animations! I never liked iOS but
the way it is implemented in marshmallow beta is very nice! Nicer than either iOS alone or
stock android alone. Emui 4.0 took the best of iOS and android and combined them!
- Now has 'LTE only' network mode!!! This is what I HATED most about the official Lollipop update! It doesn't have the 'LTE only' option. With marshmallow beta, we now have
five network/data choices/options:
1.LTE/WCDMA/GSM auto,
2.WCDMA/GSM auto
3. LTE only - NEW!!! (not present in Kitkat or Lollipop, but accessible in Kitkat through its unlocked hidden android menu.)
4. WCDMA only
5. GSM only!
For those on KitKat (B120, B130, etc.), follow these steps if you have
the mate7 TL10 dual SIM version:
1. Download and install Lollipop C900B326 first:
Warning: For Mate 7 TL10 dual SIM version only running official Kitkat:
(NOT ROOTED!)
http://consumer.huawei.com/za/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=61204
2. Update to Marshmallow beta C185B511 through local update:
Download Marshmallow beta here:
Choose the TL10 version since you have a TL10 phone!
http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/01/download-ascend-mate-7-b511-marshmallow-ota-zip/
Warning:
Install only on Lollipop B326! Other Lollipop versions (B324, B329, etc.)
will brick your phone!
Warning 2: No way to downgrade back to Lollipop or to Kitkat once Marshmallow beta is installed! You have to wait for FINAL, OFFICIAL marshmallow OTA which will take some more months (or possibly never arrive!).
Warning 3: Marshmallow beta has minor bugs being a beta software! So far, I haven't found major bugs, but it could be different for others. Bug 1: 'camera effects' show scrambled preview but does not affect final picture quality or camera function in any way.
Bug 2: Apps cannot display the date on the status bar. I have an app from playstore (Date on status bar) which I like to always display the date on the status bar so anywhere on my phone I don't have to pull down to status bar to see the date.
Other than those two, I have not experienced any other bugs, major or minor. It's almost as good as an official release (doesn't crash at all like most beta software)! However, I CANNOT GUARANTEE there will be no other bugs! BE WARNED!
