The only google+ that works with the ascend mate is the one that was pre-installed by standard.

If you install the google+ updates from the play store, it will force close.

You can just uninstall the updates to return to the old version.

All of the above occurs regardless of rooting. I have the standard firmware and I get the same as you ( with B113 or B213 firmware)

I suppose we just have to wait for a fix from Huawei (I assume it's an issue specific to the phone and not google code.....but perhaps not)

If anyone knows a workaround (to use the latest google+) then I would be interested to here it.

For me, the google+ issue is the only app so far that I have had issues with, besides this, I am really enjoying the battery life!!!

Also, I do wish there was a dedicated forum to the ascend mate. The only active one I can find is in French... C'est la vie !! ;)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] sandeeppathak007:
Thanks buddy so here is what I did

Got the ascend mate yesterday n rooted it, then I noticed that google plus stopped working

Un installed update n it was fine again

Used titanium back up n converted it to user app n updated to latest again, again got force close

Un installed n realized I lost google plus completely

I searched for older apk n got google plus 3.5.3

Installed this one n working fine

What is the version of apk u have in official rom , if possible please share

Seems its something wrong with latest google plus only as previous one worked

Google+ version 3.6.0 is the factory version on my ascend mate. (I am running firmware B216 i.e. B113 with B216 patched on top.)

All later versions from 4.x including 4.02 which was the latest version I have seen crash.

I have clicked on the send crash report in the hope that it may help someone fix it....

This is the only force close I have seen on the ascend mate..

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] cashif:
Have used Ali Express and they are pretty reliable. They have similar option like ebay's paypal and in case of any problem, money can be recovered; have done it couple of times. The biggest drawback is shipping time; it may take upto 40 days to receive the item.

Battery life

The best thing for me in this phone is its Battery life. Having used Note Series, where I used to get 12-14 hrs, here is my screenshot of battery..

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mixterz:
This is a high end phone on par with the notes. Not a clone.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] rodjordan:
Agreed, a lot of people say wow and show a lot of interest and are very surprised when I tell them it's not a Samsung.

Before the ascend mate I generally bought Samsung but I have to say I am very happy with the Huawei.

Although when the Sony xperia Z ultra comes out in the next few weeks, I will probably get one of those too ;)

In summary, there is life outside of Samsung and I would be very surprised if Samsung hold their position at the top. ?.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] dieterhaack:
The Ascend Mate is fairly underestimated. It's long standing battery with hours of screen-on time. Bright screen in direct sunlight. Samsungs Mega and the Sony Z Ultra may not be on par in these cases, just more expensive. This phone is for 'it just works' people, because no developer seems to own it.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] sandeeppathak007:
Agreed

I have used Samsung galaxy s2, note , galaxy s3 ,note 2 n tab 2 and I always had these one or the other build quality issues, nothing like that with Huawei Ascend Mate so far, I wish they would have made the internal memory as 16gb then it would have been perfect.

Only one issue I have its that I am unable to find covers for it in India where in market is full weigh accessories for galaxy mega

I request for a separate forum for ascend mate its a fantastic device n I just love it.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] samsungandriod:

Need Help to get Crystal Clear Back Case

Friends,

I have seen a nice Crystal clear back cover for Ascend mate on salewill.com. i cant order online as i don't have PayPal account and even i cant create PayPal accounts coz i don't have any credit card.

Could any one help to get the case in any other payment method...

Aliexpress is pretty safe. You can pay by bank transfer. Supplier doesnt get paid till you receive the item. Aliexpress acts as the middle man. Seems dodgy but i received quite a few items off the site. No hassle i paid by credit card though

But, the price is exactly double the price of Ascend Mate..

Try looking at DL TRADING in aliexpress. I bought my set from them and also screen protector and cases. Because i used to deal with them so maybe they deliver fast. Just say elton j e recommended them to you.

Flip Cover Screen ON/OFF App

Hi Seniors,

I have been using Flip Cover Screen ON\OFF App (Smart Cover Pro) on my ascend mate and i have a doubt,

Is using this App will effect on Proximity sensor working life and performance.....:confused:

Hi sri.

I have this doubt also but since i`ve been using intelliscreen pro for the past 4 months, i didnt see any affects onthe proximity sensor. I think its there for used with these such apps considering mate and some phones like some galaxies or nexus doesnt have functions like ipad does.

My suggestions also try use intelliscreen pro as it has functions like the one you use now, plus a lot more when not using flip cover. This app can save our buttons hardware. Its like using S4 screen on with just a wipe (no need touch) on the proximity

Hi dandy,

Both chinese and international rom hv english dont worry. The international rom is B113, can get full firmware in huawei support site. For the chinese rom its now in B119. I think you're using chinese firmware so keep using it coz some friends said it is more stable and responsive, they say...try look up previous posts coz there's a lot of experts here. I'm as noob as others although been using Mate since its launch im China..

1. Create a folder named "dload" on root of sdcard

3. Go to Settings-Update after click local update

5. Follow the steps shown there

6. Make sure battery must be 50% coz update will take about 10 to 15 mins.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] dandyqb:
im a loyal apex launcher user ever since :D
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] syaah:
R u having a 64GB sdcard in ur Mate. Cause, with it, you will not be able to update. If u r, use another lower capacity sdcard to update.:)

If your Mate is 'Rooted' u will not be able to do any OTA update. Only local update possible.

Also, u can only update from B113 because B216(214Mb) is just an update firmware from B113.

I would suggest you reflash the Full B113 firmware(1.08Gb) from Huawei (with local update) and upgrade to B216 from there. All these within your less than 64GB sdcard 'dload' folder.(again with local update).

Good Luck & Cheers.

I am sorry but I have to disagree with you on all your points

Well, syaah n mobile88.

I agree with both of u. Since i hv done both u teo mentioned, i guess the only thing i can do just before, wait for the B216 full firmware. In my other forum (lowyat.com.my), some of us did hv trouble with updates, whether rooted or not, sdcard class10 or not, fat32 sdcard or not, etc. Some can easily updated. Maybe its bcoz of the gadget itself which no one hv look deep into it.

Just like htc one x, hard to s-off for tegra3 chips and rooted based on its 'internals' things which i seldom hard to understand even using it for 2 years...

Hi Ascend Mate users :)

I have also bought the Mate and I have no regret. :D Nice mobile and screen! And in particular a good battery..

I have 1 problem and that is my virtual provider. I'm using Tele2 and this is in our country (The Netherlands) a virtual provider on the network of T-Mobile. Now sees Android Tele2 as Roaming provider and shows only a R icon at the signal bars in the notification bar. That is not pretty and I want the GRPS, 3G and H icons in the notification bar. Is there someone that can help me with this problem? I'm using a ugly app for the status now... :S

And about the case for the Mate. I have bought the MOFi (this one is spoken earlier in this topic by someone) at Aliepress. It's a nice case en very strong, but also very heavy because of the metal/alu in the flip. The mobile is total 309gr with the case.

I'm using firmware B216.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mixterz:
Ill eventually sell this phone on when its released here as providers will soon roll out 4g lite which this doesnt support. Also the whole qi wireless charging seems nice on other phones.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] @SRI@:
Gents,

Every time i takeout phone from my pocket i touch the camera glass and it got printed with my finger prints.

So does finger prints or scratches on glass will effect on camera quality.

If yes tell me the safest method to clean the small tiny glass eye...:eek:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
Hi sri.

About your camera glass, that happens to me even when using only 4.7 inch screen. This happens when we tend to reach or take out the phone by grabbing the phone head up. Try taking it out from sideways or practice putting it head down in the pocket. Unless you wearing a loose pants or if youre a female which normally they wore tight pants or garments which have tight pockets. Cleaning is simple, can use your sunglasses or spectacles soft cloths provided by the glass shop. But i think Mate cant fit in tight pocket as it is too big.

Cheers and maybe some others might have good ideas on this
