b907 is in Russian when you boot it at first but multiple languages are included.

It has GApps pre-installed aswell as some russian apps.

It seems much smoother than 906!

The only thing that i saw was missing (so far) is NFC.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] muhameed:
there are 2 files !! not 1 like every time !!

how i can update to 907!! i have now 906 ??
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] acbka:
Flash only dload/update.app
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Bartcore3:
Sssht you don't have to yell like that! Think of the neighbors!

There are 2 folders. I assume "cust" contains a custom ROM (b906). The other "dload" contains the b907 ROM
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lonespeaker:
Just managed to installed it. I have no Russian apps, everything is in English from the start and NFC setting works (not tried it as I never use it).

gapps seems to work ok too :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Bartcore3:
you're sure it's the 907?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lonespeaker:
lol you had me doubting myself but yes, it's 907.

although i hv been using this HAM since its launch, i stil cant figure out where is NFC, how to check for it and do my HAM did hv NFC?

can you advice on this.:confused::o

i did know many things in the HAM but not as good as you guys here which always made me scratching my head on what you people talking about when in comes to so many terminologies which i dont understood..:D:laugh:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lonespeaker:
Click on settings and under Mobile networks there is a More.. links. NFC is there on my HAM.

I know what you mean about understanding, there is a lot I don't understand but then it's fun to learn :)

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
I think my Ham does not hv NFC afterall. Seems from the beginning i was looking at the same place you mentioned nfc doea not appear ti be in my HAM/or some others maybe.

Maybe there are some HAMs that does hv NFC and some not. Well, lucky those hv it. I really wish it has one since i use nfc with my other phone (one x).

That rom on needrom includes a scatter file in the recovery and after having a look around I wonder if that means the recovery needs to be restored via the Smart Phone Flash Tool (http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html)

Anyone have any experience of this app?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] henk_j:
Hi, could you upload it to another server i cant get it from the russian site (google translate messes things up.)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lonespeaker:
make sure the file is called UPDATE.APP

shut down your phone. Press and hold down both the volume up and down keys at the same time then press and hold down the power button also until the huawei logo appears.

Let go of the power button but keep pressing the power up and power down buttons.

update.app should then be installed - be aware that all your apps and data will be erased but the sdcard will be left alone - so in effect it is like a factory reset.

Any one has install this rom b907?

Any bug? If it will compare with b221 what are the diference?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lonespeaker:
I've been using it for a couple of hours and it seems smoother than b905 and b906 and also I like that it's all in English, no Chinese apps.

The main difference to b221 is that it's Android 4.2.2 compared to 4.1.1 so you will have to google for the differences between the two :)

My first impression is to recommend it, but it's too early to say if I will stick with it.

If I will have time in this evening I will install the b907, if not this days.

Hi guys.

Just flash the new B905 downloaded from the links given (directed me to a german/russian site) it overall good and smooth since last night. One thing that is missing is the Message app (stock/from the rom).

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] DTSpawn:
It actually depends on your current software version. If you have Chinese device w/o gapps - gapps will not appear. If gapps supported in your region and you have original software - it should be there.

In my blog there is a file, what changing device region to Russian (gapps included), but in this case you may have some trouble with service - they can reject.

Graphics in 907 slower than b221

I just upgraded from b221 to 907 and there seems to be a noticeable lag. I first saw the lag in 907 when I installed nova launcher, and rotated from portrait to landscape (this was snappy in b221). Also, when I play Fast Racing, I now have to turn down the game performance so it doesn't stutter. Oddly enough this game ran great on b221. Is there anything that I can tweak to get the same performance as b221, or am I best of just down-grading back to b221?

Thanks for the suggestion, normal mode sped the game up a bit and is it now more playable, but the 907 rom still feels more sluggish that the b221. Has anyone tried the new b348 and compared it to the performance of the b221? As they both appear to the the same old build of jelly bean, does one feel any different than the other?

hi gkm8123, welcome to da club.

for the screenshot shortcuts you can always edit the notification panels in settings or directly (in notification swipe all the way to the right you can see 'MORE' icon with 3 dots).

as for the led lights for incoming calls and sms. its not built-in like iphones but you can use apps for it, i use flash alerts pro (paid), less power usage and editable. there are some similar apps in store so try and remove which one you like.:good::)

Hi guys,

I dont know if this just me or others. Since B90+, i did realised one thing that made me wonder. The battery power seems drastically consumed witgin less than half a day. For me, i didnt use any new apps since b221 and using all the same except medium usage (previously im a heavy user like i posted earlier in the posts).

Everything are smooth and great considering this is ver.4.2.2, but for people who wanted a day use, i was thinking going back to b2++ but back to 4.1 seems falling far. Anyway, hope the next update will be great and return the batt to as before..:D

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Anorien:
Hello guys,

If anyone can give me an idea of how to solve my issue: my Mate wont turn on, at all. It all started today when battery was 14% down, and my browser froze, i pressed back a couple of times then the phone died. Now it wont even seem to be charging or anything, its like dead.

If this was any other phone, i would have removed the battery, but since its Mate...

I have tried pressing volume keys, separate pr together with power button, but still no response. Its dead.

Anybody with any idea?

Or do i have to send it back to warantty? :(
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] cashif:
Have been using B906 for past fortnight and I dont see much difference in battery consumption. Even, I am a pretty heavy user with average screen time of around 3+ hrs, voice calls 1.5+ hrs with whatsapp, gmail & yahoo mail sync on and always on wifi and/or Edge (no 3g:o).

Battery lasts more than 1.5 days on average which was usual for me even in B221. However, there are few days when the consumption is more (mainly due to Gmail), I restart the phone to get back the normal usage!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] wandargo:
Ascend Mate Kernel Source Code Released!!!!!

Hi, I saw a week ago in huaweinews the link about Ascend Mate Kernel Source Code Released, i hope someone will build a custom kernel O\C...,

by the way, I usually use push mail in Exchange and Gmail, the battery drain after one day, not more. the firmware i have on my HAM is B907.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] antinerd:
I noticed the drain on 907 too. I was getting just over 2 days of light use with b221, but the power consumption felt higher on 907. Also the playing of high-bit rate video with VLC were also visibly choppier on 907. Playing with the power settings smoothed things out a bit, but on b221 the same videos played much more smoothly at all power settings. Went back to b221. This may just be an android 4.2.2 vs 4.1.2 thing. If there is more overhead on the newer builds, I guess I'll be holding on to 4.1.2 just a bit longer.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] syaah:
Hi Anorien,

Try this;

Leave the mate on charge for few hours.

Then, press and hold the Power button, if all is well, the "HUAWEI" logo will appear for boot up process. Once the logo appears, you can release the button.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Anorien:
Thank you!

I was about to leave for returning it, but thankfully i tried one more time to power it on, and i kept the button pressed for longer, about 1 minute and its working now. Phew, it seems Huawei requires a longer press. :D

Thanks again, mate!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] henk_j:
Here with 907 no probs, altough i use seeder for lag reduction and baterystats for partial wakelocks.i suggest that batrrydrain problems should be checked with baterystats or similar programs. Here nothing with an higher drain then 0.5% so please check first
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lonespeaker:
Building a custom kernel is the easy part, getting it to boot is not possible at this time.

However.... the P6 has been blessed with a new release which has a new bootloader that removes the signature check for booting custom kernel/recovery images. Hopefully the next release for the Mate will have the same bootloader update, but I've been wondering just how different are the two devices.

Looking at the update.app for the P6 and Mate using the huawei firmware extractor and then using a hex editor, there are very few differences in the bootloader.img file. wonder if it would work on the Mate.........
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
well, its not that im complaining the higher drain in b905-907, for me with so heavy use like i did before, still it can lasted at least half or a day/ thanks to its giant batt..

what i fear is that if next updates will be more power drain than this. thanks for the opinions (3 posts up). my HAM is in 3G all day long with running apps like Emails, Whatsapp, Wechat, FB, Twitter, Internet surf (dolphin browser), Tubemate and gTunes (downloading musics and videos), games i play everyday (montezuma 3 and Armored Strike), bluetooth for at least 5 hours a day (driving) and playing some musics. these are usual things i do (not forgetting calls and sms), when in B2++ i still get 1.5 days but in B9++ i get flat at less 20 hours (still good) but a bit worry.

:o

---------- Post added at 11:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

P6 and Mate is almost identical in system as some says, but because of the small differences that makes devs scratching their heads. but, they trying as hard to look it through so by any chance they will make both Huawei Flagships better. time will tell.

i do personally confident, our friends like Lonespeaker, Syaah, Svvv, cashif, and many of our seniors and expert reviewers here will find the way for people/users like me here having their best times with their HAM sooner or later...

will keep on supporting this HAM Forum as long as its there, and if any way Huawei releasing Mate 2 somewhere next year, it'll be more fun having BOTH here..and that maybe XDA will SEE US.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] syaah:
Hi Anorien,

Glad it works for you.

I am actually quite surprise with the mate, its so far very robust, if anything happens, just press and hold the Power Button for sometime, and the mate without fail will boot up.

Same goes if your screen freezes.

We actually do not need to remove battery (which is not possible for mate) like other device to restart the phone.

Thumbs Up for Huawei.

then after a reboot, there will be a little down arrow on the left of the nav bar which hides the nav bar.

How can I make the default keyword support another language like Arabic and Hebrew
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] syaah:
You can actually have the Huawei Stock Sms app installed into the B907 firmware after the upgrade by restoring the backup you made(IF YOU BACKUP PRIOR TO UPDATE) on your current firmware

(etc B221or B905 or B906).

Here are the steps I always practice prior to any firmware update;

1. Back up your stock/favourite apps

with the HAM management/backup in

current firmware (B221,B905,B906)

2. Update to B907 with the force update

(3 Buttons: Pwr+VolUp+VolDn)method

"dload/UPDATE.APP" within ur sdcard.

3. After Update to B907, select the Default

Storage Location to Sdcard.

4. Root ur HAM with ERoot.

5. Restore with mgmt/backup/restore with

backup you made in Step 1.

6. Go into Play Store and Update all Apps.

7. Selectable "Navigation Bar" - Edit the

system/build prop as required with

Root Browser (Save to Apply Changes)

ro.config.hw_navigationbar=true

ro.config.hw_shownavisettings=true

Note: B907 comes with 4.2.2 GApps.

Always Download Firmware from

Huawei Site or Trusted Site.

Hope this will help those in doubt.
