I got the phone yesterday and am very happy with it. I went for this phone only for screen size because for me 'Bigger is Better' and I am extremely satisfied with it. Having used Galaxy Note I & II, my expectations were pretty low but this has surpassed all my expectations!

Note phones used to last me maximum 12 hrs but after 14hrs, battery remaining is 60%, so will easily last 2 days for me. First time ever, I am satisfied without any complaints. Phone is super fast and multi-tasking is breezy without any lag..

Best phone at a very reasonable price (only INR 22500- US$ 375) whereas I bought Note 2 for $500 and even Mega 6.3 is priced at nearly $480 in India..
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Jcc13:
you can update to B113 either by partiel update either by complet flash with rom stock B113 here : http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=15922

When you did it, update to B216

it seems that the B216 improves performances.

Anyone with tmobile with a Mate getting anything faster than 2g aka EDGE? I only have edge. I am rooted with MT1-T00 on B110 with Baseband version: 5-21-2013 sc8800g_sp8803g.

I tried everything from local updating and updating via recovery mode, but I noticed that the .zip files I download are for the MT1-T06?

I'm trying to get 3g/HSPA+ for tmobile and I have a feeling that firmware B110 is the reason why I only get EDGE. Please help.

Well, so far I have always gone in the Samsung direction, but after having bought the ascend mate, I am impressed with Huawei.

Its nice to use the features of androud and not worry about battery life. The mate battery is fantastic.

Screen Problem

Dear Mates!

I have bought an Ascend Mate Phone 4 Days ago. Last day i noticed Phone's Screen has a shadow in top edge that shows itself clearly when background is white. When i brought my device to Huawei maintenance center, i saw 2 other devices they had in their shop have similar problem. they told me it is regular for all Ascend Mate phones. Sure it is not acceptable from a smart phone in this class. What do you think? have you ever had this problem with your devices?:confused:

thanks for your attention!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mixterz:
sounds to me like they told you to accept a flaw in that phone you bought, mine does not have that and neither should yours, or should you have to accept it. id go get my money back. buy elsewhere.

they clearly got a faulty batch of phones .

know your rights and stand up for yourself. :)

i love this phone so far.

WHY IS THERE NO ASCEND MATE SECTION IN XDA? ;)

id imagine no developer has the phone to play with or customise as its only been released in China Australia and India as far as i'm aware.

rest of us jumped the gun by buying it abroad so well ahead of the market.

shame as id love to see this phones full potential unlocked !

few custom roms over at needrom but nothing worth going for .
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] desrtwolf:
at first they didn't admit that there is a light shadow in there! after my consistence on my claim, they finally saw that god damn shadow!! Im so confused now and i dont know what should i do. i sent a mail to Huawei support and they havent answered me yet. funny that today i met a guy who had this device and his phone had this problem too and he hadnt seen that! i say again this shadow is almost invisible when background isnt white! please help me what should i do now! i love this phone and i think in this price, it is brilliant!:good:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mixterz:
post a pic of the shadow if you can.

it sounds like a hardware problem.

but maybe a firmware update may fix it.

clearly its bothering you so just take it back and ask for a replacement check it in-store before you leave. .
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Totalshaff:
Hi guys I've been lurking around this thread for a while.

I've had the ascend mate from release ,way before the international ROM release,rooted and installed all the Google apps and what not and the only problem I have ever encountered was the stock browser pausing and generally being laggy as **** But simply use boat browser and your good to go.

I've changed to the international ROM and upgraded to the latest firmware and I will admit that the phone is really awesome still ,oh and I discovered that my phone would fail to update if I had left my sdcard inserted,I'm not sure if its just my phone or a batch or all of them.

I am also hoping and praying that the awesome devs around pick up support for this phone, I really think it has way more potential than what huawei has offered us and it can really compete against better well known alternatives, especially at the price the mate is being offered at
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mixterz:
I have also noticed the lag in the stock browser. It takes a couple of takes for the screen to respond to my touch for instance clicking a link. I stick to the stock mainly for flash video.

If your unaware how to use flash. Go to adobe flash archive and scroll down to the latest android link and install the apk. . Only works on stock.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Totalshaff:
I have the flash.apk installed but I can't take the slow response the browser has and it pauses and what not while typing in web addresses and searches and what not,quite annoying so I abandoned stock.

I been trying to find the screen shadow other users have been complaining about but I haven't noticed anything.

you have to unlock your bootloader first and install the permanent TWRP.

there are a few minor bugs, which might annoy you...

but all in all it's pretty stable

camera works...

battery life isn't as good as on stock roms...but still ok

did you guys ever find out what causes the ascend mate to drop 3g data and not gain it without a reboot?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] sglscovill:
I was reading about this and I've never had it happen. I've had this device for 4 months and still enjoying it. I'm going to upgrade to the Mate 2 when my year using it is done. Of course I may be one of the lucky ones.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Bobboman:
i'm beginning to think its just the build of the device and an overall weak antenna,in the front of my apartment i have no issues connecitng to tmobile H+ but in the back of it even where my nexus 5 gets at least 3 bars its getting absolutely no signal

its even worse at my job where even on my nexus 5 i get at least H+ if not LTE i can barely maintain a 3G connection(more often then not none at all), rebooting my HAM does gain it a working H+ connection for about 5 minutes before the connection goes away for good

i'm going to install CM10 on it tomorrow and see if it does anything

the update should be placed in a folder named "dload" at the root of your microSD then you do a local update in the settings of phone.

That does work all time if your phone is not rooted.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] cashif:
My personal opinion, I dont think 1GB will be enough..I've 2GB RAM and even with this, I find lag in some apps and homescreen(Main Reason-I've 750 apps)..If your use is for phone/browsing/mail & light gaming, 1GB is sufficient but for anything more, I believe you need minimum 2GB for the current games..

MIUI ROM - Ascend Mate

For me personally, I have changed the whole ROM. Just tried MIUI ROM and everything is like a charm. No lags, everything is running smoothly except for the navigation buttons replaced with Mi-POP which is fine for me as well. it just works like the assistive touch buttons in the iphone.

One issue so far, YouTube is crashing whenever started, can be replaced with TubeMate or any other app from PlayStore.

I strongly advise you try it from the link below, however, I am not responsible if you brick your phone:

I think you need to have adb drivers installed. However, you can give it a try with usb debugging enabled. Just start the flash . bat and enter the first option which is 1 and press enter, enter and so forth. The flash process should initiate smoothly. The rom supports root access as well.

I am on windows 7 and adb files installed.
