                After updating to Kitkat, the charging time takes much too long than the previous version.

                Jellybean = 50%->100% takes about 2hrs.
                Kitkat = 50->90% takes about 4hrs.

                Huawei please fix this.

                    Update instructions:
                    1) Download the file from http://pan.baidu.com/s/1i3Fxuh3
                    2) Unzip the file
                    3) Copy dload folder (that is found within the unzipped folder) into a blank sd card
                    4) Power Off the phablet and insert the sd card
                    5) Power ON the phablet, the phone will auto detect the dload folder and update by itself
                    6) Done

                    TAKE NOTE(my lesson)-
                    Back up whatever you need first before updating. The update will erase the main stuffs(your apps, messages, phonebook, call logs) and your phablet will become a factory reset upon update reboot but the photos and videos inside phone memory are left untouched.

                      There is a kitkat software update for 4.4.2 for S8-301L Mediapad M1. It really speeds it up and removes lots of the lags with additional features. Have to use manual update though, by copying dload folder (from zip file) to your main sd card directory. Then use local update to find it. Highly recommended. Use XDA forums to find kitkat update or http://pan.baidu.com/s/1i3Fxuh3 from a chinese cloud server.
