I have the note too and I really enjoy the mate. It's vert smooth ans responsive.

The battery life is awesome.

I'm a little disapointed about the lack of internal memory but it's not thar bab if you manage it well.

From a note user to another, go ahead you won't regret it.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] darkmuck:
is there a way (maybe with root?) to move apps to sd although I don't believe Android 4.1.x allows this by default? This would alleviate most issues maybe. Actually, I think I remember an app called 'Directory Bind' that might do this?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] oneguyks:
You don't need root for that. Ascend Mate lets you set your SD card as your internal storage so all the Apps go to SD card. That option is in Setting/Storage

Hi kerlchen27,

Did you try rooting your mate? I did mine, it says rooted after the 4steps with superuser installed, but running root required apk, it still states that your device is not rooted.

Anyone else had a simular problem with b905?

I flashed it yesterday, rooted, installed cwm and flashed gapps. Then i restored backups with titanium backup (only the app, not the data and +- 60 apps - which is not even half of what was on it before)

everything went well but when i tried to download hostfiles from adaway i got an error that the phone memory was full. But it wasn't!

i reflashed and got the same error when i tried to install the xposed framework.

Third time i even formatted every partition and reflashed B905. same error.

I took screenshots but after the errors i was stuck in a bootloop.

Now i'm back to B221.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] turtlemask:
I didn't have, but I used another type of installation and I got no problems, so maybe it will help you.

I made a backup with Huawei Backup Utility from the phone and install the B906 and after reboot I restored the backup and everything is working properly. All you have to do is to install the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter in order for the Gmail contacts to sync. https://app.box.com/s/mtbktgrnsvdrhut33uea/1/1198579223

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] henk_j:
Guessed you'd wiped dalvik cache? I myselve got many problem using the updates troug my computer. Only the app versions (those who you have to copy to the dload folder) worked for me.

Besides that i find the radio much worse... with the firmware who came with the phone it was much better. (on g receiving i mean) goes from full to no receiving.

That would be a reason to go back. or is a radio non 4.1.1 or 4.1.2. or 4.2.2. dependend than i could perhaps replace it with the older one?

Which rom and method did u use to flash the gapps?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] TheLegend88:
He used the b906 ROM and "yourzgapps"

I will try to install official google apps and then i will try to install a downloaded play store apk and i will come back with an edit.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] scpion:
Look a few pages back. Some one posted a link for the latest playstore apk. Use that to get the gapps. Dun use Cwm to flash gapps. It will give that error. I tried.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] henk_j:
That explains why i dont get these errors. I do the playstore apk and the google contacts from a few pages ago.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] TheLegend88:
Hmm...It's not working with the method tried by me,so i will check yours and come with an update immediatly after I install it.

Edit: Yep!The method given by "scpion" really works!Thanks M8!

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

Method for tnstalling the B906 ROM

1.Download the Rom from MT1-U06-EmotionUI-1.6-V100R001CHNC00B906.zip

2.Unzip the folder "dload" to your SDcard

3.Power off the phone and hold the VolUP+VolDown and Power togheter until you see the "Ascend Mate logo"

4.After You install the ROM root it with e-root 1.3.4 E-Root 1.3.4

5.Install this instead GApps (No Clockworkmod Needed) Google Play

6.Download Root-Browser from PlayStore to edit build.prop and get the navigationbar hide option.

That's all!Enjoy!

is there any available custom roms now ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] yuiho:
I'm an Ascend Mate user from Hong Kong.

I understands both Chinese and English, so I would like to explain a bit on the Custom Rom thing.

Here's a warm reminder to users who are trying to flash custom rom produced by Chinese Developers.

After flashing the rom, you may find that there are always some missing functions when you flash the phone.

It could be the navigation bar, it could be the toolbox in the notification center -- But no worries! Here comes the solution.

First, flash the custom rom provided by Chinese Developers.

1. After rebooting, open Root Explorer (Root Explorer is usually pre-installed in those custom roms)

2. Go to (root)/data/ and open "custom.bin" as a text file.

3. You should see something like a path. (For example, mine shows "channel/seasia")

Yours might be different, so remember the word after "channel/"

4. Go to (root)/cust/channel and delete the folder accordingly. For my case, I delete (root)/cust/channel/seasia

5. Rename "(root)/cust/channel/cn to the folder you see in Step 3. For my case, I rename it to "seasia"

6. Go to Settings and Factory Reset your Phone.

7. Your phone will reboot and all the missing functions should work properly now.

The default language will be Simplified Chinese, but you can always switch between "English", "Simplified Chinese", "Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong)" and "Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)" in Settings.

After that, you can flash in Gapps using CWMRecovery and enjoy your phone!

I don't know how to add other language support (like French, Italian, Germen, Korean, Thai etc.) to your phone.

Hello Guys,

I'm a proud Huawei Ascend Mate owner from the Netherlands.

I've got a quick question.

If I flash B906 on my official Dutch (European) version of the Mate, is the Dutch language available?

there are some, but a real cooked custom rom are not available for kow. Really hope hope the CM site woukd look towards our pledges in their site.

I did personally email one of my favourite custom rom creator, modaco which creates the ViperX for HtcOneX, havent received feedback yet.

Cross finger, they'll eventually look through HAM one of these days somehow.

why i can't flashing gapps :confused: installation aborted need help
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] lolpoplol:
I am also having the same problem on B905 where the internal memory is filled by unknown files which i cant access or see even with adb. I suspect that it might be the old system files from 4.1. Attached is my current internal memory usage which obviously doesn't sum up correctly due to these hidden files.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Vilsvinn:
I can't install b906

Hi guys, I'm already on a b905 slightly modded with 4.4 launcher and some new apps from it, so I know how to flash it.

When flashing the update, it stops and gives "unknown error" message. I try to install that update again, and seems like it doesn't read my sd card anymore(until I do another reset, then same ol' same ol').

Any suggestions?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] kloon:
no problems here and i used the same 4 apks a few pages back
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] eJEii:

BTW guys, Is it really a need to go to b905 ? because I just got my HAM yesterday its a 2gb ram ed. and running on it's stock 4.1.2 smoothly. I've been reading all the post here as far as I can for days now and noticed getting bugs and FC's.

The question is do I need to go for an upgrade at all? what are the benefits? cos im running 4.1.2. very smoothly no bugs for now.

more power to our HAM and hope so that it will get noticed by the devs too,
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] scpion:
I have no errors using by installing the playstore method.

Things I like on the b906,

Status bar info white by default.

Calender app much more prettier.

A little faster and smoother.

Pull down notifications new whitish colour.

Sweet new theme. Love the default theme lockscreen! (main reason I upgrade)

Only thing I dun like is I can't sync aosp bookmarks. No problem with chrome.

Changes may be minor but I will do the upgrade anytime.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] henk_j:
Went back to 905 906 gave me a agps problem.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Da Phoenix:
I've installed B906 and everything went perfect.

I used Huawei Back-up to make a back-up of everything.

Then I installed B906 and restored the apps and settings with Huawei Back-up.

And I don't needed the Play Store and other apk files. They were installed with Huawei Back-up.

I miss the lockscreen widgets though. It's a shame.

PS: Where is the Huawei Ascend Mate subforum? :confused:

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] cashif:
I was thinking of asking the same question; Android 4.2.2 is supposed to have option of widgets in lockscreen but no option here.

Is there any option of adding widget to default lockscreen with third-party app?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Bartcore3:
I'm using Widgetlocker. And because it's 4.2.2 i can now finally use dashclock
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
I looked into that, but there was no way i was able to enable the stock third party lockscreen stuff.... which is a shame. i tried the hack for the HTC One, since it too uses a HTC branded Lockscreen over the stock one.

But no success..

Also I sadly announce that I will seize my efforts regarding the HAM, my current HAM is the third one i owned over the short period from August till today, all my HAM's seemed to be from a bad batch I guess,

The one im currently owning looses APP's which are installed daily .... now i know what to do in those cases... reset, reflash etc etc... sadly nothing helps.

Don't get me wrong I'm not making it a bad phone ( for the new guys in our HAM subforum ) but I'm tired of it....

It has been a blast with you people! You are some of the nicest and most dedicated guys I ever met on XDA ( maybe because with the HAM i really tried to get stuff done ) please stay the same!

Regarding the ROM and ROOT Posts, If there have to be updates, please PM me, i will update it accordingly or make a new Thread, and i will close mine with a link to the new one.

Just tell me how it is preferred! :)

For now i will switch to a crappy backup phone i have laying around till i made up my mind for a new handset.

Best regards!

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
well Onecton, humble thanks to all your supports and help during the days of HAM here. wish you'll change your mind tomorrow and came back again...:fingers-crossed::highfive::crying: so sad you're leaving so soon and havent won the years battles..am not a devs orsomeone that can dig out phones like you but i will stick around hopefully can give some little cheers for the guys here especially those who are good in digging phones (in our case the HAM)......wel, at least stick around some more and share your thoughts and ideas for the HAM community.

nice DIG Jelke, eventually we'll get the updates but as we know huawei's a bit slow in updates but in china, yes, they're fast. hope our friends in china who are in this forum will share something later. MIUI is the base of huaweis phones so everything will be on it as original until they change their mind getting experts in roms like OPPO did with CyanogenMod Team for their N1 model.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Vilsvinn:

Oh yeah, THERE IS A PROBLEM, but i got it SOLVED thanks to the french forum

_ Backup the system apps GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Networklocation.apk with their .odex files.

_ Replace

GoogleServicesFramework.apk

by GoogleServicesFramework.apk, then delete the related .odex file.

_ Rreplace

Networklocation.apk

by Networklocation.apk then of course delete the related .odex file.

_Change the peromissions to rw-r--r like this http://techtrickz.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/File-Explorer-rw-r-r-permission.jpg

_Reboot (or just fast/soft reboot)

_Start Maps and wait for the GPS lock on

_Hit the THANKS button :)

EDIT: if you have problems with the playstore force-closing, just restore "gogole service framework"
