It's been officially withdrawn for a week according to the Huawei Device website... I've downloaded it but haven't updated yet.... I think I will wait till the end of the month....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Apopheniac:
Yeah, they only have 2.2.2 up there now. I am scared of doing anything to my new fave toy. Might wait.

Losing the ability to play Monopoly on the toilet would really knock me for six.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jegor011:
It is definitely rebooting randomly if the wifi is on and the device goes to sleep. Never had any issues with 2.2.1 ROM and wifi though.

from TT ideos x5
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] priestx:
No issues whatsoever with wifi and I've been monitoring carefully the wifi behavior since they mention that it may cause issues. Maybe I was lucky :)

Since upgrade (from 2.2.1):

No reboots

No FCs

No issues with haptic/vibration/touch screen...

Only issue are some 0byte files that appeared in some folders in SD but they may have been there before and the non-working EQ

Everything works ok here but it's been only a few days... :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jegor011:
In 'disk usage' app on 2.2.1 ROM if I chose hardware renderer the app would crash. Now it works perfectly.

The system EQ is not working.

and i also have com.huawei.launcher3 error, and my phone didn't boot untill i have performed a hard reset.

i wish i didin't install 2.3 update, very disappointed.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Typhoon_PT:
I can't install step 3, I'm getting pink screen and from definitions,

It says that can't find the package.

I have the folder step 3 in my sd-card.

Can anyone help?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nabelon:
should i restore the original recovery.img instead of using the CWM recovery.img before installing this update? and what bout the original boot.img ? can i just replace those without flashing the ori 2.2.2 and just update from miui or cm7 ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jegor011:
Today I decided to play a little with GPS with no success. I used GPS essentials and iGO. It just wouldn't lock the position. In GPS essentials it shows satellites, but there is no lock after 15 min. Needles to say that everything was working perfect under 2.2.1 ROM.

lthe only issue I have is that this beta update actually managed to brick my phone :O but I managed to get it back on 2.2.2 but now cwm recovery will not install even though rom manager says my current recovery is 5.0.2.6 any ideas???
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ik_jefke:
Did you have reboots before?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] luke.pell:
I installed the 2.3 beta yesterday without issue, and have now rooted it.

It seems OK - fast, but have had a couple of random reboots.

However, I cant get over how ugly it is!

The new unlock screen is nice, but I don't know what Huawei were thinking when they chose that launcher, and the dialer is even worse!

I'm tempted to try downgrade and re-flash CM7 again just because of this!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rsdunlop:
I'm finding the random reboots Wifi related, I have it set to permanently on in the advanced settings.

If I'm at home on Wifi it never reboots but at work where I can go in and out of Wifi range it seems to lock up and reboot often.

When I turn Wifi off at work it doesn't seem to reboot anymore.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] luke.pell:
I correct my earlier statement: After using this ROM for one day, it is absolute rubbish!

I have lost count of the random reboots I have had today. It just locked up and rebooted again when receiving an incoming call. :mad:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jy0thish:
isnt it possible to use 3rd party launchers? eg. QQ launcher, Go Launcher??
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jarkkis:
The only issue appeared so far to me is that the phone offers to switch to power save mode already at less than 30% battery level. Pop-up to the power save screen (settings) and a really annoying beep! Anyone else noticed the same? Can't disable that!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
What did they say about ICS 4.0?

Btw "We will post about the update on our Facebook page. Stay tuned."

http://getsatisfaction.com/huaweiin...l&utm_source=reply_notification#reply_6717726
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] smilentfish:
He said, Huawei mobile R&D team now focus on ICS 4.0 and will upgrade main products to 4.0 as soon as they can. For those which are unable to support 4.0, R&D will try their best to make them 2.3 at least, unless the hardware is not powerful enough.

new models like Vision and Honor will be on market with 2.3 rom and then 4.0 as soon as possible.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] droiduser:
Seeing as they can release products with almost 100% similar hardware with 2.3 and not produce any 2.3 for hardware that was released only a few days/weeks before the 2.3 products its pretty slack to say their now concentrating on 4.0

We're all a bit pissed about the lack of support for their products, its obviously just a company that wants to flood the market with as many products as possible at the lowest cost, push out one product and a week later make a new product and drop support for the previous product almost immediately.

I thought huawei were getting into some good quality when I first got the X5 (had some previous u8120 for the girlfriend, $50 phone to get her into Android)

but I forgot that tech isnt everything, theres no point in having a fast cpu/large screen phone thats not supported almost the same day you buy it. Imagine how well apple would do if every single iphone was not supported for updates from ios to ios version (yes original iphone is no longer supported, but how many years did updates come for it??!! more than huawei's 6months...)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
This is NOT true...Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) is not even launched yet...How can you work on something that's not out yet??? Who are they kidding?

The reality is that NO MATTER what version they release, if it's not available for everybody (just like any other IT&T manufacturer) then it's USELESS!

We haven't seen any Froyo update for nearly 2 months now...Who cares? Not Huawei, that's for sure...:(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
Maybe they got some sort of pre-release of 4.0 for manufacturers so they can work on it? I surely hope that we'll get ICS for our phone but I highly doubt it but still x5s hardware should be enough for it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ochentay4:
Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) on U8800 would be very nice!!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Huawei is not the only company that doesn't care about customers, all doing more or less the same for updates(at least for the low cost products). I had two htc devices before ideos which never get an update(a windows mobile and then an android).

At least ideos is more powerful in the same(and little less) price.

I don't know but I think is better to ask google, by a petition or something to push them for an update. They care more about that and have more power. I believe by this way we have more possibilities.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
What Android device was it?

When they stop to release updates for a product it would be nice if they release the full source code atleast.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Was an HTC Tattoo(worse buy ever). Fortunately custom roms created, but took almost a year for a fully hardware working rom. And htc for months lied about that update will come soon, and after that about that tattoo is not capable to run froyo or gingerbread(of course tattoo could run fine custom froyo an gingerbread roms and was faster than with the official 1.6 rom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
Haha okay so no more HTC for you?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
For sure no, at least for low lever and "cheep" devices.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ozgurce:
They said something about qualcomm 7230. They say something "qualcomm 7230 broken or something but we noticed after the it released". Am I right? If thats true should they replace U8800 to U8800pro for warranty?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] smilentfish:
ok I will do a bit translation lol..

----------------------------------------

U8800 with qualcomm 7230 was supposed to come into market last September, but unfortunately the wifi defects of qualcomm 7230 delayed the large-scale shipment of U8800 to this May (p.s. he is explaining why he called U8800 an 'old product' in the previous post). From now on, newly produced U8800 (so called Pro or Plus version) will use qualcomm 8255 instead, which supports Android 2.3. 2.3 ROM for U8800 will be provided, please be patient.

----------------------------------------

well I just assume they have already fix the wifi problem and that's why they are confident to push U8800 into market and do not worry to recall.

Personally I don't appreciate that Huawei CMO blamed qualcomm for the shipment delay and wifi problem since it's huawei whom customers are facing to, not qualcomm. Huawei should identify and fix the problem (say switch the chipset) at the first place.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ozgurce:
Thanks. So Its mean old phones will get 2.3 update too? I wish they fix the wifi issue, i wish mic bug to be solved too.

Ps:if you have time can you transa fırat post too. Im just asking :-)

- U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] smilentfish:
yeah I think so cuz that's what he said.

since I haven't encountered wifi and mic issue, I have nothing to say on these. btw I'm using stockwell's MIUI 2.3 rom. It's a great rom for U8800.

=============================

Chengdong Yu, Huawei CMO:

22 Sept 00:08

Then people start complaining on the phrase "old product" he used to describe U8800. you know U8800 was released just about half a year ago. people felt that they were abandoned immediately after they bought U8800.

Then Yu explained:

22 Sept 19:20
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ozgurce:
Thanks @smilentfish.

I looked over the weibo and see that, they really care about the chinese community and write updates about their products. I don't understand why don't they do that in english language too. @huaweidevice in twitter, don't really make any sense but that CMO made really nice explanation for updates. I really start to thinking they doesn't care about other customer than chinese.

Whatever, i never buy a huawei product again. I have mic and wifi issue. My 1100 Phone (nokia) have better mic sound than that. Its just cost me 10$.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pirh:
Seems we are misunderstanding the way Huawei corporate thinks.

They see their customers as mobile operators, not yourselves (it pains me to say).

In my opinion, if we want to exert significant pressure, we need to do it on the mobile operators.

For instance AT&T just launched the U8800 under the "Impulse 4G" name.

I would suggest massive customer pressure for constant updates on AT&T.

I'm betting you'll see Huawei switch 100% of their R&D resources within days, especially now that they are so keen on entering the US market.

To AT&T: where is my Gingerbread (2.3.5 please) for my Impulse 4G ?

Show me the money !!!!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] smilentfish:
Huawei's Vice President updated his weibo again. now I have to say I give no hope on huawei stock 2.3 rom

http://weibo.com/1100856704/xsTJ80loD

==============================

Senior Vice President of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Yu Chengdong

I see a few friends are anxious for U8800's upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3. (I admit) our own R&D resource is not enough, (that's why) qualcomm wifi issue delayed U8800 from last year to this year. Now we are looking for a partner to do (2.3 rom). btw, U8800+ is 2.3, using upgraded Qualcomm 8255 chipset.

At 21:33 on October 15

==============================

you see, he himself doesn't even know what android version his product is using!!! U8800+ is obviously using 2.2, not 2.3. his words have no credit at all. now I even doubt whether huawei have drafted their plan for U8800 2.3 update yet.

---------------------------------------

update

well...I noticed this weibo post had been deleted...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ozgurce:
I don't really get the point of his post on weibo. Is this mean they don't started yet on 2.3 ? Is the problem wifi chip for 2.3 delay?

Everyday i hate huawei more.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] priestx:
As I understand, he says that they can't make the update because their R&D department is (probably) composed by one poor overworking soul. The interesting part is that they plan to outsource 2.3, this probably means that they didn't do anything, no company invests in something and then suddenly decide to outsource it (specially when there are no deadlines involved).

Great! lets all throw away our 6 months old phones and get the U8800+ (still with 2.2).

Also I don't understand why he mixes the chipset with 2.3, Desire Z has the same chipset with U8800 and got 2.3 during the Summer (correct me if I'm mistaken)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ozgurce:
He removed his post on weibo. wanna know why..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ozgurce:
There is some posts too. Can anyone chinise person translate them for us?

I really apprecited!

http://weibo.com/1100856704/xt48fe8pg
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] smilentfish:
agree. that's exactly what I'm worrying about.

what I saw is just an error page;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ozgurce:
He must removed it.

Of course this posts not the first post i asked (http://weibo.com/1100856704/xt48fe8pg). In that post he just sorrying (the wha?) the people for not knowing u8800+ not have the 2.3.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
@Özgürce, in short, he/she is bull-shxting with some big concept and evading the specific question (about U8800 upgrade to 2.3 i guess?!)

from what was said, it should be taken as an indirect answer that there would NOT be a 2.3 upgrade for U8800..

at least this is what i perceive from the msg..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ozgurce:
Thanks. That just broke my heart. :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] smilentfish:
hmm...the latest weibo update is definately good news:

http://weibo.com/1100856704/xt9bteHcs

================================

U8800+将于10月底支持2.3.5版本，早先销售的老U8800预计将于11月底左右支持2.3.5。并且全都支持OTA空口升级，方便客户直接在有WiFi覆盖的地方无线直接升级。在“设置”里面“关于手机”栏目里选择升级就可。对此产品给部分客户带来的不便深表歉意。有信心从Honor往后产品质量、版本及客户体验上做好！

U8800+ will have 2.3.5 update by the end of October. Previously sold U8800 is expected to support 2.3.5 around the end of November. Both of them will come in through OTA update, so that customers can directly update their U8800 in a wifi-covered area by selecting "settings"-"about the phone"-"update". I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience brought by this product. We are confident that we can do better on product quality, version and customer experience from now on.

================================

finally we get his promise with a date. let's see whether huawei will keep it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mangoman:
So, end of october is now end of november. Wonder what they will say by the end of november.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
"u guys took it wrong.. we meant end of november 2012!".. :D :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Hayden18:
Yea then the world supposedly ends in December 2012 :( lol
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Vk_:
Well, maybe that'll be a next excuse from Huawei: "...since the world was supposed to end 'n all, and we are devout belivers in Inca? Maya? Aztec? -calendar, so we didn't do it yet but you'll definitely have it before the next apocalypse and in the meantime you can by one of our newer models with 2.3 already in 'em.." :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] priestx:
If the U8800+ gets the update by the end of October {

we could expect to get it someday too for our U8800,

}

if they don't {

we won't get it, at least not until the newer phones get "served"

}

otherwise

I'm betting on apocalypse first... :D

Also a big THANKS to smilentfish for his updates/translations :)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] androidcini:

wait to until the end of this month
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] priestx:
The U8800 update is supposed to get released at the end of November (1.5 month), so until the start of December we have to wait... while using CM7!

We do wait, we actually can't force Huawei to release any update... ever! We can only try another company next time we buy a phone in case we get better support, if we care about updates.

I don't think you worry about them reading this thread and stop the development of the update (if it started) because some of us hurt their feelings... :rolleyes:

One question. This 2.3 version should bring a new kernel?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] eddydc1:
Nice, if we really get 2.3 and Huawei UI

ideos x5 @ 1,2Ghz
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nnkk:
Huawei UI ?

i suspect that they refer to the custom theme they implement to U8650 aka Sonic, that I have for testing purposes from Cosmote mobile vendor.

It's a mix of default launcher with 3D like effects and cubes, in my opinion an overkill for the 600Mhz of Sonic but I think with no problems for X5.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ozgurce:
It must be. That should fix many issues!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] priestx:
UI?

New UI from Huawei? are there any screenshots or it is still an idea?

Also, why promise a new UI when the 2.3 alone is a problem?

Judging from the lack of update for the U8800+ nothing is going as planned

My only thought is that someone (?) must be trolling and he is great at it!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] eddydc1:
Forward page there is reading that we get huawei ui
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] smilentfish:
LOL...

from my observation on his weibo posts, either U8800-related or not, this guy is much too ambitious on his products, keeping saying (maybe bluffing??) competing with iphone blablabla, phone cam quality against DSLR blabla(against what..??), without any proof, pictures, real on-sale products or even common sense.

I think his weibo is not bad as a personal twitter, but absolutely not the case as a verified official one.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] priestx:
quoting myself :p but I wronged them a bit on my previous post.

I checked the LINK!

And there are some ROMS for the PRO so maybe they finally delivered! (They did say end of October and the timestamps say 2011-10-28!)

Of course the links don't work, could be simple placeholders linking to /dev/null or another classic prank of Huawei but still!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mr626:
I was going to wait for the official 2.3 rom, but I gave up and went with Oxygen. I think unless you have one of the 'Google' phones waiting for official updates is a bit of a pain because you've got so many middle-men that are involved in the process. First, google releases an update. Then, the handset maker has to release it for your phone. Then, the carrier you got you phone through has to release their 'branded' version of it.

Much better to get an aftermarket rom :)
