ok, the fact that some apps are still working fine implies that it is not your mobile data connection. right? otherwise none of your apps would work.

would you please go to your settings -> energy saving and click the lower left button "settings"? look there what apps are "on" and which ones are "off". could it be that the apps with issues are "off"?

another idea:

look into your settings -> developer settings, go to the bottom catagorie called "apps". verify that "do not save actions" (or similar) is NOT checked and that the background process limit is set to default.

p.s. just to be sure... have you installed any apps changing your dns? or proxy settings?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Totalshaff:
AppS are not working fine at all.

I receive whatsapp messages but I cannot send a photo or a voice note or a video.

The play store can be browsed but I cannot download anything,

Nor can I upload to dropbox,I can browse the Facebook app but no photos are displayed and I get error messages .

And like I say, web surfing is useless and so is YouTube.

I have checked the power options and the apps I mainly use are set to "on"

I also checked the developer options as u suggested and I can confirm that background processes are set to "standard" and the box for " don't keep activities " is unchecked.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
but some things are working over mobile data, hence the mobile data connection is working. what you describe sounds like a dns issue. if you are rooted you could try the following just to verify if it is actually a problem with the dns servers that have been automatically selected.

get this app from the play store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cosmicexploration.dnschanger

first use it to see which dns servers are actually set. write them down and post them here please. also tell me in which country you are currently.

when you have done this i'll give you some server to be set as dns just for testing if it fixes your issue.

edit: if you need some help on using the app just ask.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Totalshaff:
Nah I havent rooted.

I only experienced this since I upgraded to b221.

I am not really a tech guru but I find it strange that a reboot will correct what's going on.

Why does it work for a while and then if I don't use the phone for a while and come back its giving this issue.

Is there a way I can check for DNS in my unrooted state?

I am currently located in Barbados (Caribbean)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
maybe. i will check that out tomorrow. am going to bed now, it is late enough for me.

but to answer your first question: a reboot or switching between airplane mode and back totally disconnects you from the mobile data network and then reconnects you. it could be very well be that your data passes a "broken" server or the dns server itself is broken in that after some idle time you are timing out and it doesn't detects you probably as being on again. usually there are more than one dns server configured (as fall back) which could explain why it partially still works.

note: it may only be due to your mobile networks provider not properly routing you to the dns servers.

there are many other possible explenations for that. but i very doubt it is a direct issue of the ham itself, at least your problem description does not sound like this. but i wll try to help you to at least verify this.

p.s. meanwhile... do you could try a different sim card from a friend, using a different network/provider and see if you still have that issue?

EDIT: ui see it'S late for me... i just saw your line about B221. so on B113 no issue like this? with the same apps installed?

before you try flashing back to B113 please wait till i had the chance to give you instructions how to write down your current dns server settings, for a possible comparision.

Hi totalshaft.

What you're experiencing is like my data network which gives me headache. Its not the HAM that is omething wrong, its the network. What i did was i went to my apn setting and reset it to default which will go back to the providers default apn. At least it works for me. Hopefully yours too. But if not we'll wait our expert, a user, he'll figure out the solution.

Hi a user,

What i mean with intelligent mode was, the settings exist in my ham, dont about others. Here it is,

T28@MT1-U06
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Totalshaff:
OK I will try the APN reset and see what happens.

I also have the same power options as displayed in your pic
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
that's an interesting idea. would never have thought of this i must admitt. if that's fixing the issue it would mean something like the previous settings connected you to a not fully working gateway server or something similar. strange enough that there are more than one settings for your provider but the world is full of strange things.

i'm no expert, at least not for this matter.

oh, seems the one for preserving battery is called "intelligent mode" in english. funny, the german version would translate into "battery preserving mode". anyhow, thank's for the info.

[MENTION=5292618]Totalshaff[/MENTION]:

the dns app i posted you above will not ask for root if you are not going to change the current dns. but it is able to display the current settings. so install that one. it shows at the top the current dns servers set while next to it are two buttons, the outter right one is to refresh the view (check if the settings had changed).
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] nedius004:

Guys do you still use clean master app, for ram cleaner/booster? Is it more effective than our phones app cleaner? Thank you
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a user:
there is no and never was a need for a ram cleaner/booster.

the only time you need to kill anything on your own is when you have an app bad coded going rogue/mad. killing all running apps is actually COUNTER productiv!

edit: with such apps you just help a bad app do hide as you just kill everything from time to time and never have a chance to discover which one is actually the cause for battery drain. no os in the world can prevent a bad coded or buggy program from eating up more resources than actually needed for its work.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
The last time he's around he mentioned about it and though he was busy.

My HAM is like a rock in all areas ^^ i think i could knock out all these iphone Hipsters with it. Yours should be build like a tank too?

No matter how hard I tried i couldn't make it creak, not even a bit. So my guess is that it's directly related to your device

It's not cursed, The People haven't noticed it yet.

The saga of Com.Android.Phone continue's.....!!!

Hi Syaah,

I'm back again. In these few days I did a lot of experimentation [By installing n uninstalling all the apps that i use] but couldn't resolve the com.android.phone error still.

I found out this the phone freezes because it is not able to sync properly with the phone contacts after the call cut[Mostly].

I did try to isolate the syncing apps: Yahoo mail, whatsapp, facebook, google+, gmail.

1) Uninstalled Yahoo mail & whatsapp [Phone still freezes & reboots] -> So, figured out that these apps were not the reason of this problem.

2) Facebook & Google+ [I never logged into these till now] -> So, figured out that these apps were not the reason of this problem.

3) So, this leaves me with ONLY GMAIL....:(

I tried clearing the cache & data of gmail & other apps too-> No use of it, Phone still reboots.

Now i want to know how to make gmail properly sync with my contact.... Do you have any solution for this...?

Also i found out that, if my phone does not have Mobile Data/Internet enabled, the phone does not reboot. -> But whats the use of using a smartphone without internet connectivity.:rolleyes:

In some of the blog's they mentioned that "Fixing Permission's" in the recovery menu solves the problem. But when i enter the recovery of HAM [By pressing Vol+ , Vol- , Power Button], I don't find any option for fixing permission -> Do you know how to fix the permissions in HAM...?

Incase you have any other tricks to solve this issue please let me know. :D:)

Hi the oppositeman,

As you have already faced this problem before and have solved it. I would like to request you to please think a bit more about the step that solved this problem for you and let me know.

I'm sick n tired off this rebooting issue:silly::confused:

Hi christiansfreeman,

I'm really thrilled to hear this news...!!!

I'm looking forward to your release on Oct 7th....:highfive::good::good:

As you have asked about any problem.... let me tell you about my problem of com.android.phone process that freezes and causes the phone to reboot.

From my research from some of the blogs, itz caused because of some syncing issue of apps with the contacts.

Google nexus also has this issue and google has release a list of APN's to be loaded in system/etc.

please check code.google.com for more info about this

If possible please resolve this issue in your release. I'll be highly grateful to you for your help.

[MENTION=1281713]Jeshurun[/MENTION]- Bro, I feel sorry for you. Even I bought the phone from flipkart and so far no issues, have been using it for 2+ months now and am also based in Chennai!

No CWM yet for our phone, so you cant fix permission through recovery until someone does a workable recovery. If you search in the last 3-4 pages, there is link for CWM but it is still not 100% functional, so it will be a risk for you. Best to go forward is to either fix permission through adb (Google for instruction) or apps (after rooting).. One such app link below

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stericson.permissionfix&hl=en

Having said that, I believe there is some other fault with your phone. Don't think its a gmail error because you are getting it even after flashing new ROM but again am not an expert, so wait for better opinion..

PS: Since you have experimented so much, why not try one of the ROMs from http://www.needrom.com/phone-roms/huawei/ascend-mate/ and see how it goes
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Jeshurun99:
Hi buddy,

Believe it or not.... this is the third HAM which i hav replaced in the past 15-20days from flipkart.... and all the 3 HAM's that i got hav the same problem. And, I'm really tired n pissed off with this model too due to this problem... seriously thinking to move on to Xperia Z which is way costlier option... so only I'm trying to fix this device.

So it's not a problem with my device... but it's a problem with the apps that i load into my device.

Anyhow I'll take a look at the links u have sent me.

If u don't mind... please pm me ur contact no. I want to get in touch with u regarding the installed apps as u don't have any problem in ur HAM...

I'm also reachable at jeshurun_hastings@yahoo.co.in

Hi jeshurun.

I suggest you do revert. Why not use the chinese firmware which is more stable n no reboot/hot boot issues. B119. Then when u root it u can choose to uninstall those chinese apps. Slide through the earliest posts n u can find the guides n files..

Hope u can settle those problems..i do agree those silly problems a headache..cheers

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] syaah:
hi jeshurun,

Can you put your sim card in another smartphone to confirm that your sim card APN datas are not corrupted. Or I would advice that you replace your sim card which is probably having corrupted APN datas within. If its possible, get a friend's fully function data sim card to run on your HAM to again confirm your phone is functioning normally.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] gulfu:
I bought ham from flipkart.. idont have any issue
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
Hi jeshurun.

Just to refresh my mind, when u got the ham from flipkart, what firmware it use? Did u root right after u got the phone?

How about changing another sim with different provider. Maybe just like what syaah said the problems come from apn, in certain condition corrupt apn might cause rebooting.

Another thing is, i recalled back my experience with the same issue both happen to my htc one x and ham. I found out that its the rooting procedure/softwares and also unstable roms or firmware version. In my ham, i use rooting files from my supplier, but the problem i have is the rom i flashed. So i flash chinese firmware, update to b119 then i flash international b112. I did not update just flash a new full b113 rom, which i did hv problems updating until b217, gladly b221 comes in full rom n manage to useit now. But the rebooting issue i hv before was the problem in gapps. I uninstall all gapps including google play and just use the phone without data and let it for about two or three days. No rebooting that time, i did went to some googling and try one guide saying that using old version of google play/play store. I did and no rebooting issue. Now after flashing b221 theres no such issue even in b113. I also remember that i did use other sim with two different providers. I again use the same sim i hv before.

I think that what syaah is saying was right, the apn might be the cause, because when putting in different sim the apns will be save in the phone. If anyway around dont use adaway apps coz it can delete your apn settings nd corrupt it when we apply the ads download...hopefully you get through it...

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Jeshurun99:
Hi theoppositeman,

I got the phone with B112 loaded in it... still i haven't flashed new firmware in the 3rd HAM that I'm using now.

I never rooted any of the HAM's that i hav got from flipkart.

Will try flashing the Chinese Rom but that would be my last option. Should i hav to root the phone before flashing the Chinese Rom.....?

Hi Syaah,

Even i suspected the sim card so got a new SIM 2 days ago but still it rebooted.

When i loaded the new SIM card on my previous phone Xperia X8.... it worked perfectly fine. But when i inserted the new sim in ham, it reboots.... :mad:

Now do u want me to delete all the apn's that came with the new sim and reload the new apn's and check the stability of the phone.....?

Also I'm attaching the list of installed apps in my ham....

Let me know if u find any suspicious app...

Please note that I'v installed all these apps in my mom's galaxy s... but it works perfectly fine on her phone..

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] syaah:
Hi jeshurun,

Thks for your reply, appreciate if you could delete the existing APN datas, and then reinsert your sim card and restart your HAM, this is to remove all saved APNs within your HAM, and start anew.

Let's see what happen next.

Since you are on B112 firmware, I am not going to ask you to do factory reset as this will probably remove some of HUAWEI's iu & programs, probably you would consider flashing into B113 full firmware.

About flashing to the Chinese firmware, I would advice not to for now as it will void your warranty.

Just to chk: does your sim card comes precut in micro sim form or your provider cut it into micro sim form for you?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
Thanks syaah, almost made me forgot about the warranty. My bad, jeshurun.

T28@MT1-U06
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Jeshurun99:
Hi Syaah,

The local provider guy from whom i bought the sim, he only chopped the normal sized sim card into micro SIM.

I tried for factory cut micro SIM... but was not lucky to find one here.....

Also did you check the apps that i hav loaded... could you find any popular suspicious apps among them...?

Hi buddy,

It's okay... :)

I know rooting voids the warranty....

BTW, i rooted my Xperia X8 only after 1yr of it's purchase. :D

And most importantly, I'm highly thankful to all the guys in this forum.... i never expected that I'll get so many resolution tips.... now i feel that i came to know a lot more abt Android bcz of ur suggestions n ideas... :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Hi friends,

There is one issue i really forgot to mention. My ham cant turn on the wlan hotspot, when i press its switch, it kept blurring like its going to turn on but never did and goes like that till i reboot the phone. Its not happen before just suddenly in b113 and also after upgrade to b221. I dont think its because of the rom, maybe something else. All the apps i used was the same as before this happen.

Thanks guys

T28@MT1-U06
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] syaah:
Hi jeshurun,

That's a long list of apps you got there ,I will look into the apps and get back to you asap.

For now, can you remove these 3 apps and evaluate;

1. Advance Task Killer

2. Anti Virus

3. Google Contacts Sync

FYI: I did encounter data dropped and was unable to make or receive any calls, with a couple of auto reboot, a few days ago. Rebooting doesn't help, put my micro sim card (which was manually cut by the shop I bought my HAM from) on another phone doesn't help either.

I checked my "cut" sim card with a micro sim card adapter and found that it is slightly oversized. I trimmed my micro sim card with the adapter as a template. And since then, my data connections hasn't got any data drop and I can make and receive phone calls as normal.

I reckoned if the sim card wasn't cut as per template its contact within the sim card slot in our HAM might not meet as required and hence will cause intermitent contact where we will encounter data drop or either dropped calls.

HAM sim card slot is unlike some phones where we are able to view during insertion of sim card or an adapter to fit the sim card.

Probably you should also check your newly "cut" sim card.

Just sharing my latest encounter.:D
