Update. I notice i was able for the first tine to upgrade straight from the system update app without fail. Or need to use the dload folder as before so that was great.

Also the touch screen seems a lot more responsive.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
Wow. That was a good feedback. Youre on chinese firmware and lucky you didnt change to international firmware. Mine was formerly chinese until i change to international. But still can go back to it as i heard a lot of good feedback of chinese firmware and they keep on updating. International is a bit slow in updating and very little improvement (thats from other users). I was lazy to do all the playstore adjustment thing which doesnt come with chinese firmware thats why i go for international firmware (At least its me).

Share more of the b122 updates new improvements. Thanks

I am on B119, pretty stable and great battery life. B113 has bad battery life compare to B119 at least for me.

I also couldn't able to update B122 not B216.

My question is B216 is better than B119? Play store is already there?

Btw, mine is MT1-U06

Thanks.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] syaah:
Hi thihaz,

B216 is a patch update file to the B113 International(Global) rom with Google apps preinstalled. It caters for the non Chinese market of our HAM.

Where as the B119 is for China's market where Gapps are not preinstalled.

If you do not one to go thru the hassle of installing the Gapps, then the B216 is fine.

I had personnally tried the B119 but the icons were to big for my liking.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] thihaz:
I see. Btw, how is the battery life? After you rooted your phone, are you able to remove all the unwanted app?

Hi oppositeman,

FYI, we r from the same place, so far I have got no problem with my unit on updating it manually. Probably you might have missed out on something while updating.

I am currently on B119 Chinese Rom.

---------- Post added at 08:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

Hi thihaz,

Battery life on B216 is good, I am now on B119 to try out its battery life. So far its comparable for both. But I notice that B119 is more responsive.

Fyi: After rooting I was able to remove unwanted apps.

Also, when u r updating, from B119 to B122, via ota, ensure u r on WiFi.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] thihaz:
I am on B113 now, resolution is nicer than B119, btw how did you update it to B216?

There is no OTA. Thanks.

Hi syaah,

Ic u're also in m'sia. Well actually i'm previously from chinese rom till i change to international. I've already felt the greatness of b119 so then wanted to try others. And till b216 n b217 get release, i will wait. I didnt miss anything i guess coz malaysian released Mate with international rom also havent yet updated to b216 or maybe i havent heard yet..thanks for sharing

Hi thihaz,

Do these steps:

1. Download these 2 files,

- B217 update.zip from here:

http://shuya.eu/downloads/

- UPDATE.APP file from here:

http://db.tt/ZTJSBu9Y

2. Create a folder "dload" in your sdcard and put this dowloaded "update.zip" and "UPDATE.APP" in it.

3. Go to Setting/About Phone/System Updates ->select 'Local Update'.

This will bring you to next window ie. "Upgrades".

Select 'Back Up' if you require to back up.

Select 'Confirm' to start Upgrade process.

Your mate will shutdown itself and the update process will proceed into recovery mode and start updating. It will then reboot automatically.

:DGOOD LUCK!:D

NOTE:

"64GB microsdcard" may cause failure in updating, Smaller capacity sdcard is reccomended for updating purposes.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] thihaz:
Cool. Thanks. I just switched back to B119.

I guess B217 is the latest Firmware. Downloading now.

Thanks buddy.

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

U manage to upgrade to B217?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] thihaz:
Yes, I did.

I was on B119, so I flashed B113 first,

then followed the instruction to put both files under dload folder.

Then Setting->About->Update->Local Update

I saw 2 options, one is UPDATE.app and the other is update.zip

UPDATE.app failed, update.zip worked.

After rebooted the phone, my phone is upgraded to B217.

Hope this helps.

which firmware has the best touch sensitivity?

I just sold my gs3 and picked up one of these bad boys. Just got tired of the awful battery life. Anyway, the guy I sold it to didn't want the c-pen stylus so I went ahead and tried it on my mate. It will register a touch every 1/15 taps and can't fully register a swipe. I was wondering if touch sensitivity could be improved with a different firmware so that a c-pen could work. I'm currently on b113. Also, could a custom ROM markedly improve the touch sensitivity?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] syaah:
Great!

FYI, UPDATE.APP only applicable for full firmware update like the B113 or B119.

Hi ali1301,

Try enabling the "Glove Mode" in Setting to see our Mate sensitivity with c-pen stylus.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ali1031:
glove mode=no difference

I have glove mode on...I did a bit of digging and found out the mate uses Cypress TrueTouch gen4 for its touchscreen. However, I suspect that the specific controller model is not the one that supports small tipped, passive styli, but I could be mistaken. The attached screenshot shows that the mate could have a few more tricks up its sleeve.

So, received it today and for the time being i mostly enjoy using it. Biggest suprise - Its a shame for Samsung that a lowend competitor like Huawei is producing products with a look & feel quality, that should be the minimum aspiration as an aim.

Noticed till now:

- from time to time the keyboard completely freezes. Only power key and touchscreen outside of the keyboard area then is reacting, after switching shortly into sleep and back it works fine. But this is absolutely inacepptable. Anyone else who have had it? Occurs on A.i. Type Keyboard, the Android own and also on the Huawei Version.

- any possibility to add a brightness bar instead of fixed steps via a key?

- Is there any trick how the built in music app is adding or refreshing tracks to the library? For example some useless videos were added, but the whole music / mp3 folder not ...
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] 2manytoys:
Hey guys, I've been using the Huawei Ascend Mate for a couple of weeks. I come from the Samsung Note.

Most things are good, but there are a few weird things.

First, the device performance greatly depends on the Apps. Specifically, Firefox as a browser almost kills the device. It freezes and doesn't respond well when you are typing (this happens even if Firefox is in the background, not the app you are using).

The screen also doesn't work well if you wear polarised glasses. It's ok vertical but turn it sideways and my sunglasses make the screen look like it's off.

GPS seems very slow to connect.

I get a weird "muting" when driving. The other person says it's like I mute them. Not sure if it's poor phone signal, bluetooth or some other weird thing going on. I'll try to pin point this issue and let you know.

So, that's the few bad things out of the way, so here is the good...

The battery life is AMAZING. I'd get one day on the Samsung Note. Same usage I get two days on the Ascend Mate.

Make sure the phone is in "Performance" mode. This seemed to make a big difference with responsiveness.

Google, and Google Apps work fine.

Apart from the polarisation, the screen is clear and bright. The camera and other usual features are fine.

Lack of support is a concern, but for $400 (Aussie) it's half the price of the S4 here. When Samsung release the Mega 6.3 I might look at that, but for now the Ascend Mate is working well (mostly).

Cheers, Mal.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] jacktherapper00:
So, after one single day the time with my Ascend Mate already ended.

Had massive WiFi and telephone problems, again and again i wasnt able turn both on or off. Restart did help in 2 of 10 cases. Hard reset made no change. Beside all nicest features the phone mainly has to be stable. Which this on wasnt. Beside the still existing touchscreen freezes this wasnt acceptable.

So the search for the better Note 2 alternative continous...

ROOTING Ascend MAte

Hello everybody. I bought my Ascend Mate a couple of days ago in France.:fingers-crossed:

Came from Galaxy Note 1.

For information, the way to root the Ascend Mate as described at

androidforums.com/ascend-mate-all-things-root/707294-huawei-ascend-mate-root-guide.html

is quite efficient.

After rooting, you can delete the chinese application. The root remains.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] pigsboss:
Yes it's the internal code. its official name is huawei ascend mate.

As far as i know there are two custom roms for mate. one is based on the official emui (emotion UI) with root. since there are already GMS, google play inside the stock rom, once you get it rooted, you can move those google stuffs from user app to system/app to activate them.

The other is MIUI v5, from the same team (bbs.anzhi.com). the developer is updating the progress on his weibo (chinese micro-blog) page: weibo.com/Ry09iu

Due to mate's screen geometry and software button the custom rom derived from MIUI is not adapted very well (DPI, software button can not be hidden...etc)

I'm using the stock rom for mainland China and keep waiting for the stock rom for oversea market.

I've rooted my mate with eroot (also from bbs.anzhi.com).

I've tested 64GB sandisk as well as 64GB samsung tf and the results are good. NTFS and FAT32 both work. exFAT doesn't work. ext2 as well as ext3 works.

I've not tried to remove the back. But I've removed the back of asend P1 (another cellphone from HUAWEI with ``non-removable back'' as well as ``non-switchable'' battery) but the warranty was not violated.

Hope the above helps.

I have Ascend Mate with B116 firmware and i still have big problem with RAM. I usually have more than 1 GB free. Phone is suspending apps after several minutes of inactivity, so web browser or Tapatalk client need to resume all the time and download data again when I maximise them. I am usually on GPRS/EDGE, so it takes sometimes more than 10 seconds for Firefox or stock browser to reload the weg page - it is anoying. I have tried V6 Supercharger script and Juwes RAM Manager Pro for setting thresholds of killing apps, but no vissible change.

Any idea how to fix it? I was using rooted LG Nitro HD for several months and on this phone I could "open" Opera browser after 10 hours of inactivity and last page wast there. Immediately, without resuming/reloding.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] stiffi2011:
Just wanted to add an opinion, because there is very little information about this phone. At least very little that I can find and is in English.

I bought this phone and sold it in 48 hours. It's too big. If anybody was wondering the threshold of what is TOO big, I think 6 inches may be it. I have previously had a Dell Streak, and Both Galaxy Notes and this was an entirely different beast. I knew within 5 minutes I could not use this as an everyday phone.

Also the lack of Google Contacts sync was a deal breaker for me. I know some people have gotten it to work but I was not able to.

Some positives: It was really fast, the battery was insanely long lasting and the camera surprisingly good.

In the end, I think the size was the biggest factor. I don't know what Samsung is thinking with the Mega Galaxy but if they can't find another way to cut corners, like in thickness or weight, I see it having the same problem.

Hi Aung,

Ensure you have both the B122 update.zip file and the UPDATE.APP in your dload folder within the sdcard. Update should be from B119. :)

There is a bug in "Setting" selection with the B122, it "always force closed" when I last upgraded from B119, not sure if its just mine or with B122 update itself. Do let me know if you face the same bug.

Yes, you can always revert back to B119, just rerun the full firmware update process for B119(ie just the B119 full firmware - UPDATE.APP in the dload folder of sdcard)
