100% liked

I have the Huawei used for one Month, brought from China @ us$400.

I root it by myself, and install the google service , google contact , google Play , Google calenda .

Everything work fine for sync with google account , like gmail, contact

If your phone is rooted, you cannot direct upgrade to B116 on line .

You need to upgrade it via SD card.

If you want to increase the internal memory, you can use the software LINK2SD .

I 100% satify with it.

One more think, there is 2 model available ,

1. taiwan version ( battery only have 3900ma , 1G ram )

2. China version ( battery 4200ma , 2G ram )
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] samsungandriod:
hi, I am considering to upgrade mine to the Mate, I would like to ask few questions: how is the 3G speed with your mate? and how about the camera ? does it take good quality photos? does the 3g band support many countries? in Australia, I use Telstra which is 850mh. also, what is the firmware does it come with from China? I am going to china next month, I am thinking to get one there. but wondering if the real chinese version will work back in Australia? how hard to do the root, upgrade etc?

thanks

Any one updating OTA on b217 or its on B113 only
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
B221 is an official non beta update to B113. i doubt it can update on B217 as this one is beta.

and B221 is not the yet to come JB 4.2.2 update. it is still 4.1.2. and in case you have rooted it most probably will fail to update. in my case unrooting didn't helped neither because some system app got changed during the rooting process and the checksum during the patch process failed on it.

i had to install the full rom B113 again which wiped everything.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ataa_sy:
I read some posts that they said they update over 216 ..

Any way how 2 downgrade to 113 again
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
to downgrad to B113 just put the full rom B113 on your sdcard, the update.app in a directory "dload" on your sdcard.

you know where to get the full rom of b113?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] dandyqb:
or download the entire B221 ROM http://rom.android-host.de/HUAWEI/Mate/B221.zip :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
if you don't care from where this is. huawei seems to officially not have this one. officially there is only a full B113 and an update to B221. at the moment no one knows from where this full b221 is.

And could you guys please give me a feedback on my message few days ago?

Thanks !
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
i have a VERY BIG issue with B221 version.

all my accounts except whatsapp are missing after a reboot. i use an owncloud account, two carddav accounts and one caldav account, and an wuala account and they are all gone after a reboot. adding them again and rebooting again removes them yet another time.

i heard that this is a bug with JB 4.1.2 but even though the B113 is also 4.1.2 it never had that issue. the new B221 one has it and it is an absolute no go. at least for caldav and cardav there seems to be a workaround on the play store. will try it out to see if it works.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] nuttydoc:
Ascend Mate is awsome

Hi,

I got my ascend mate before a week, here in India (it is officially launched). I got 2 updates, b112 to b113 and then b221 today. I am really impressed with phone, even though I am coming from galaxy nexus.

Anyone have tried this custom ROM, just found out before few minutes, It is MIUI based on android 4.1.2

http://www.needrom.com/mobile/ascend-mate-6/
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] cashif:
Didnt like it; has a resolution of 320 dpi and icons are very big..We can reduce the icon size but flashed away from it.

By the way, I am having the phone from last week of June, bought it from flipkart immediately after its launch!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
so far the B221 seems to have introduced more issues than it had solved for me.

the good:

seems to have fixed graphic bugs in a few games (had no time to chekc them all and make sure they are really gone, but so it seems for now)

the bad:

1. while all previous roms were also based on JB 4.1.2 this new rom B221 is the first and only one that has the JB 4.1.2 bug on disapearing accounts of paid apps after reboot.

a very frustrating bug but at least moste apps having that issue have a workaround for it.

2. yesterday my phone suddently hot rebooted when i connected it via usb cable to my pc. after the hot reboot wlan didn worked anymore (no networks were found).

i had to reboot it again and then both , wlan and the usb connection worked again.

3. since the ota release of B221 i had it already 2 or 3 times that wlan suddently stopped working. it could connect to any wlan ap, it actually wasn't able to find any one. i had to reboot the device to have it working again.

am curious how B221 is working for others.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] dandyqb:
so far no problem encountered, but i use the B221 full ROM instead of the update.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
do you have any accounts from PAID apps? for example CARDDEV for synchronizing contacts from a carddev server like ownlcloud or anything else?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] dandyqb:
i have some paid apps but i dont have that.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
could you be more specific as i am not yet sure that we are talking about the same?

do you have accounts shown in the general settings tab under the accounts section, created by apps that must be bought in the play store (no in-app purchasing, must be paid directly at downloading)? give me an example of such one that you have.

would be strange that the official ota update has this issue while the inofficial leaked full rom with the claimed same version does not.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] dandyqb:
i am talking of some apps bought from play store, like games and tools, but i dont have any entry under the Accounts section in setting aside from Google.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
that explains it. the known JB 4.1.2 bug is related to such accounts registern in the andorid system. accounts stored within an app is a matter of that app and cannot be a bug in the android system.

though it is strange that the previous mate roms didn't had this wide spread JB bug. i thought huawei was so clever to fix it in their JB 4.1.2 roms. but then why didn't they in the newest B221?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Trijunction:
No issues what so ever with 221.had frequent and random reboots with miui .flashed full 113 and instantly got update notification to 221. Updatef n all is well. No app is crashing so far.

But its height time we get some custom ROM support.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Totalshaff:
Hey guys , I've been using my mate for months now on the official international B113 firmware and I have received no update notifications what so ever in that spam of time.I went from the Chinese stock firmware to the international firmware and I have also flashed the same international firmware a second time during this period and to this day I have seen no ota update notifications
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Odinforce:
Where can i download b221?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
if you are running the officail B113 rom, then you should receive an announcement for an ota B221 update.

you may go to settgings, about phone, system updates

and check for new updates.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Totalshaff:

When i try to install update it gives error msg and update get aborted
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] pandalov3:
apparently you removed a system app.

i did on mine too...

the only way to solve this is to flash the full firmware (this will wipe your data).

but since it's too much work for me i'll stay on B113 :D

EDIT:

i also tried to remove the apps i deleted on my phone in the update.zip... but since the complete update.zip file size will shrink it won't work...

hello :D

i have asmate with 1GB Ram and 8 GB internal storage ( australian version )

i have a question

Can i install sd card 64gb with FAT32 ??

thankyou :D
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
I flashed Form stock to b113 to b221 update in germany was available right out of the box.

Literally, since i recieved my second mate today.

After i sent the first one back, because of concerns of the formfactor. I ordered a xperia SP. But that thing was a monday phone or lemon phone...

So back to the mate :D

1st Edit:

Well yes you can Sir ^^ i have a 64GB Card in there aswell, but mind you if you update that beast, they dont like that 64GB card for that, so i just took mine out updatet the phone und put the card back in!

also i would like th say that its kind of getting really messy in that Threat ^^ don't understand why we have no forum for that monster, they need to see that potential sleeping in there

2nd Edit:

Has anyone rooted the B221 Firmware yet? if yes how? i know some mentioned eroot?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] adisptr13:
thankyou , btw what the difference between Singapore and australian version ?

in the website singapore version only support SDCard up tp 32gb but australian version support SDcard up to 64GB? can i install sd card 64 on singapore version too ? cause this spec not difference at all same RAM and internal storage but only SDCard support is difference ? i'm just worried i can't install my sd card in my asmate cause my sister have asmate singapore version and she want install 64gb sdcard too :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
You're most welcome, I'm no expert, but i think the version here in Germany officially supports only SD Cards up to 32GB, please correct me if im wrong!

So i know that the Singapore version only has 1GB RAM other things i don't know, just punch in a 64GB Card and see what the Mate will do, but my first guess is it will work regardless of the SD Support.

Just Punch in your card and see what it'll do :highfive:

I am unable to root after update. I was on B113 rooted (with Eroot) and got OTA update to B221. Have been trying to root but unable to.. Eroot shows process completed but no root found; also, when I installed superuser, it is FCíng. Any other method to root? (Dont want to go adb way)

Early impression of B221 after having used for 2 days- Much more stable; games are more smooth and I feel even the touch has improved along with battery. Used to get 24-30hrs but since this update; my battery has lasted 2days (screen-on 4hrs) with my normal usage (Wifi/2g- Always on; Voice Calls- Around 1.5hrs; whatsapp/Yahoo mail/gmail sync on)

PS: Just want to inform that I didnt lose my data after update. Someone mentioned about data being wiped after flash but nothing of sort to me.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
dang ... well hope someone has an answer to that, i don't know of any other methods, eroot is the only thing that stayed in my mind in this threat.

I can confirm that to, no stuff was lost during update to B113 and from B113 to B221

Before I buy this phone, I need to see what wireless chipset is inside.

Can you please help me find out by giving me a "dmesg" kernel log ? I will be able to see what kernel module is loaded and what chip is used.

Your phone needs to be rooted and have the Terminal Emulator app installed.

Please turn on wireless ( WiFi ) then reboot your device then 1 minute after rebooting launch terminal emulator and do :

"su -c dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.log" command and please post output here if you can.

The command is taken from this thread here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2185929

Many thanks if you can help me !
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
i had the same issue, except that installing superuser (the one with the # icon!) fixed it. actually root was acquired but the superuser app was not installed.

interesting. more stable than B113 was impossible for me as it never was instable, while B221 had 1 hot reboot when i was trying to vconnect it via usb to pc, and 3 times WLAN module broken (unable to find any access points until i rebooted).

but B221 fixed some graphical issues in a few games.

edit: touch screen is the same as B113: without gloves mode enabled it sometimes doesn't react on touch.

no difference here between B113 and B221 regarding battery.

that was if you flash the full rom version of B221, not the OTA.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
Works indeed, i tried it and on B221 eroot did the trick, but i must say i never rooted B113 or earlier.

Now im trying to figure out how Superuser Works, it always denies the apps acces...

Did a Reboot maybe that helps

Edit:

Reboot did the Trick ^^
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
Hi guys,

Special yhanks to cashif for shring the b221 rom.

At last i can upgrde to new rom from b113. Before this i had lots of trouble updating from b113 eventhough lots of teps and guides followed. Now im in b221 and seem for now havent had any bugs or rebooting problems.

Battery stays like before and i can see some improvements especially the touch feels more responsive and fast.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] beaubin:
Did you loose all the Google Apps (gmail, maps etc.) after rooting your Mate on B221 using Eroot?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
Why not try the old method of rooting which is the chinese method. My supplier provide me the method through email which i downloaded and until now still using it. It has the rootassistant v2.0 and already had a stable superuser after rooting. Simple and works fine. Just saying.

I wanted to share the file/folder but dont know how to upload here in xda app. Please teach me if anyone knows how.:)

T28@MT1-U06
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] cmas84:
Just compress the folder using zip or rar on a PC then upload to dropbox or mediafire then share us the download link here. =)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
No Sir, didn't loose anything, i hooked it up to my laptop pressed the button and thats it.

Reboot and didn't have any issues since then

Edit:

Just installed BusyBox and Pimp My Rom.

Got rid of the stupid navbar. Just disabled it in the Pimp My Rom, because i use LMT Launcher. Works all fine so far

Edit:

Noticed that xda APP doesn't run properly anymore. Longpress would result in a FC... Really strange

Otherwise can't report any strange behavior after rooting....

No there was something. Yesterday the battery drained in like 2 h Form almost 50% to 15% ... But phone wasn't hot?

On another note. Do you guys have a case around that Monster? I'm a little bit concerned about mine. Since i tend to be a little clumsy.

But here in good ol' germany the case selection is well... Not so killer.

I really like flip cases. I can't unterstand why huawei didn't include a case or silicon skin thingy like with the p6 ...
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
here the one i bought:

http://www.amazon.de/Dolextech-quli...d=1379064639&sr=8-1&keywords=huawei+mate+case

it makes it overall abit more heavier due to the metal plate within the front cover, but i found it usefull as it can be used to have the phone standing up (see the pics in the amazon shop). the outer material is a bit sensible to scratches but it's ok.

overall i am quite happy with it.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
Ah the one from dolextech...

I ordered that one too, but i was dissapointed. Mine smelled really really funky. And i wasn't happy with the overall feel of that one.

I tried the rock flipstyle case too. But that one was really flimsy in the overall feel and look...

http://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00CENURTK/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?qid=1379065780&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX110_SY165

Looks okay...

But somewhere in this threat a Sir Form india mentioned a flipstyle case direct Form huawei. Maybe i roam the net if i could get my hands on one of them...

Althought its from alieexpress it seems cheaper and reliable than any shops i found in my hometown. Its a different material and not like other.

this folder contains the rooting guide and app including the RootAssisstant v2.0. easy method of rooting and can be use for both chinese firmware and international firmware regardless of rom versions. rootassisstant v2.0 is in chinese but no need to worry as we need only to click one box in it. superuser is stable and can be updated in google play. hopefully can help as this is the first and stable method all the suppliers of HAM in China use and provided to their customers.

Greets
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
Hmmm,

I guess the APP installed on your mate smoothly jabbar01?

So i enabled the touch service in lmt. Set it to autostart. And then you just go to pie settings on the far left side and just configure the stuff the pie should show.

For the activation area i just run the default setting. Right centered.

But thats all i did. Im far from beeing an expert though.
