Is notification menu verboten in china :p

If you upgrade b115 on top of B107 without reset, it'll keep most of the missing goodies. Can't remember if the quick menu bar is retained or not.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Ottomaani0:
Nope, "verboten" is german and means "forbidden" in english :D

Now after that bad joke, I really don't know, seems odd :)

I went back to 107 and now I will wait for official europe updates OR custom roms!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Eagleman71:
Hi,

i upgraded european 104 to 107 and now to chinese 115.

if you use method 2 (the one with the local upgrade in the upgrade app) it will keep everything. your apps, data, configurations, additional themes, the gapps.

the new setting to hide the navigation bar is available, the earphones volume is nicely higher than before.

of course there are all languages. only 3-4 new chienese apps are there (a help one, a map/navigator based on Bai.du and a voice assistant).

responsiveness is better, default browser is way faster.

So, IMHO, is an update to do right away.

Hello !

I have some doubt about this device and I need some help for you !

I have updated on my PC the last SDK and also I use original USB cable from Huawei for ascend P6 !

What I need :

1° fastboot devices

2° fastboot oem get-bootinfo

Here is my request from my device :

1° ????????????? fastboot

2° ...

( bootloader ) unlocked

OKAY [ 1.544s ]

finished. total time: 1.544s

My device was purchased without a contract so is sim unlocked and as you see also bootloader unlocked ! ( My device run on .....B107 firmware ! )

Tring to flash stock kernel by fastboot , I have this issue :

But, the same boot.img work very well if was pushed by this command :

Wait your request and advice !

Thank you very much for any info ! :good:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] palooh81:
just went from b107 to b115 with local upgrade,

two things i've noticed so far

1. no option to use 2G networks only anymore

2. you have go through two unlock screens again if you decide to lock ur screen with a pattern :(
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] zordo:
Pretty much the only annoying thing ive faced with mine. Mine ends with b106.

Is there a location based lock screen app? So that no lock screen at home or other safish place, but locked when otm and drunk :).
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] desertflyer:
And if you ever do a factory reset, you now lose your notification panel.

Honestly, I don't think b115 is worth it if you have a U06 International version. I have reverted back to b107.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] palooh81:
b107 has an option to turn the huawei unlock screen off while the pattern is active which leaves you with only one unlock screen :good:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Hello !

Please, how can test for me in your device this two commands :

1 > fastboot devices

2 > fastboot oem get-bootinfo

Thanks !

To put your device in fastboot, you can do it easy :

> adb reboot bootloader

to reboot your device from fastboot

> fastboot reboot

Thank you very much !
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mbsb0812:
If you have root in your device, you can edit the build.prop and add again the 2g only and the huawei unlock also.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Urmet77:
sudru petru the Aio flasher work wery well on this device and btw u told some post back u tryed to flash boot.img maybe u have then the recovery.img file from the b107 rom. can u share it with me? or anyone else ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Hi!

Thanks, but can I flash a recovery.img with aio flesher? and where can I find it ?

Thank you.....I'll upload later recovery.img....I'm at work now;)

But why we need to use this tool instead the easyest command:

fastboot flash boot boot.img......or:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] palooh81:
ive managed to add the option to "use 2G networks only" from B107 build.prop backup :highfive:

not sure how do i get rid of the huawei unlock screen and stay with only the pattern on wakeup, any idea which line is it ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] SVikFromOrel:
Official unlock of the bootloader for all models

Please sign this peticion . Your sign is very important for developers.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mbsb0812:
For use only the pattern unlock you must go to: Settings-Security-Screen Lock and select "Pattern".
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] zordo:
Nope. Still double lock with my version. And where do you think people did setup the password or pattern in the first place?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] palooh81:
true,

the question is which line in bulid.prop turns off the huawei unlock screen ?

i was also looking for a line in B107 bulid.prop which has the option to turn off the huawei unlock screen while the pattern is active, but coludnt find anything there :crying:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] zordo:
Somehow missed it but it was alredy posted here that version 107 will remove the dual lock screen. So thanks for that.

Any way to fix the annoying autorotate behaviour? Lock the rotation to what is currently being used. Would help a ton with Youtube if it wasnt autorotating out of full screen.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] edixi:
I bought a P6 a week ago and I like the looks of it, but there are a few things that are really annoying.

Does anybody else have problems using Netflix? The movies/series loads up ok, but the there are a lot of stuttering/lag in the picture.

The other problems is with the touch screen. Once in a while it seems that the touch screen flips because it doesn´t react to the movement at all, or when you try to press on some link, it just doesn´t do anything.

It´s really annoying when I for example browse the phones settings and it somehow presses the button when I just browse the menus and then have to go back.

Also the keyboard in messed up once in a while, when I try to write something it adds severeal letters instead of the one I press. For example if I write huawei, it could be like huaaaaa and then I have to erase and write again and it gives extra letters again.

Otherwise I like it and wait for a custom rom :)

Using B107 (tried B115, but the same with it)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] zordo:
Try removing all autocorrect and word suggestions and see if it helps. And click Huawei-input off from keyboard settings - only use aosp-keyboard.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] edixi:
Will try, thanks!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Hi !

Till now , I encountering the same issue only on Chrome ! ( screen frozen ! )

- web browsing it seems to be quite slow, with frequent interruptions ...

I think these issues could be mitigated by a kernel update for a better memory menegement and more efficient use of the four cores !

But an identical device ( 100% - design ) but with a very good processor and a minimum 13MP camera would raise the price of 1000 euro .....

In other words, the quality and appearance of the device seems to be more than half the price of the unit !

I can currently buy for almost 100 euro this device : Haier W910 !

Minimization requires sacrifices for a decent price ....if not, we can pay 1000euro for a 0.5mm smartphone with tegra4, 16MPX and so one ....

In conclusion I'm super happy with this device, if I need extra performance I can easily use Xperia Z ultra-fast web and has also 4G!

Good luck :good:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Hi !

You can extract recovery :

> adb shell

$ su

# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of =/sdcard/recovery.img

# exit

$ exit

> adb pull /sdcard/recovery.img

If you need also boot.img # dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/boot.img

Currently I use B115 version for some tests !
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] edixi:
I just discovered that when the touch screen started to misbehave, the phone was charging. When I removed the charger, I could scroll normally.

Again when I plugged in the charger, the screen didn't recognize the input correctly and when removed, again normal.

I did this 5 times, so it cannot be anything random.

Anyone else has a similar problem?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] desertflyer:
That's a really common problem with capacitive screen phones. Try using a different charger and see if it still happens.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] desertflyer:
So even after reverting to b107 from b115, I can't figure out how to enable notification shortcuts. Any ideas?

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] palooh81:
isn't the bootloader unlocked from stock on the P6 ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Yes, you are right !

All device Ascend P6 must be already unlocked BL, but I don't know if you buy one device by subscription ....

If you want to know if your device is bootloader unlocked :

Hi !

In my device Ascend P6 , Aio flasher do not work like you say ! ...I can not flash boot.img or recovery.img ....I have the same error :

Hello !

Init.d support !

Put this file "install-recovery.sh" on /system/etc and set permission :

> adb push install-recovery.sh sdcard/

> adb shell

$ su

# mount -o remount,rw /system

# chown 0.0 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

# chmod 0755 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

# reboot

Navigate to system/etc and you will see init.d directory ! You need only to add stuff in init.d !

Install busybox : ( first, unzip busybox.zip )

> adb push busybox sdcard/

> adb push zipalign sdcard/

> adb push sqlite3 sdcard/

> adb push tweaks01 sdcard/

> adb push tweaks02 sdcard/

> adb shell

$ su

# mount -o remount,rw /system

# cp /sdcard/busybox /system/xbin

# cp /sdcard/zipalign /system/xbin

# cp /sdcard/sqlite3 /system/xbin

# cp /sdcard/tweaks01 /system/etc/init.d

# cp /sdcard/tweaks02 /system/etc/init.d

# chown 0.0 /system/xbin/busybox

# chmod 0755 /system/xbin/busybox

# chown 0.0 /system/xbin/zipalign

# chmod 0755 /system/xbin/zipalign

# chown 0.0 /system/xbin/sqlite3

# chmod 0755 /system/xbin/sqlite3

# chown 0.0 /system/etc/init.d/tweaks01

# chmod 0755 /system/etc/init.d/tweaks01

# chown 0.0 /system/etc/init.d/tweaks02

# chmod 0755 /system/etc/init.d/tweaks02

# reboot

> adb shell

$ su

# mount -o remount,rw /system

# /system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin

# exit

$ exit

You can look in /data/local to see if init.d was enabled ! ( zipalign.txt, Vacuum-database.txt & zipalignedapk should be there ...)

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] erbode:
Hi Guys!!

I'm an unhappy owner of an Huawei Ascend G615/U9508/Honor 2 (yes, it's the same phone...). i'm writing to you because we're in the same situation: we have a locked bootloader! Maybe you know better than me what are the limits of this situation: every kind of "modding" it's pratically impossibile. We have a CWM, ported by a chinese guy with the help of Huawei, but after that the company stops to give further support.

You have a great advantage among us: Huawei released the kernel sources for your device, few days ago. But with a locked bootloader, they're pretty useless.

Talking about hardware the P6 is pretty the same device as the U9508 and let me tell you something: the hardware is very good, but the software and the optimisation are crap. It's like to have a Ferrari with only four gears, if you know what i mean.

Try to take a test with 3Dmark and then take a look at the results of the other phones like Xiaomi MI2, they're three times higher!

The reason of this is because huawei use an ICS kernel on JB and it's also a bad written kernel!

BTW I'm writing to you because users of U9508 are tired about this situation. we want to have the opportunity to delevelop our software, and use roms like Cyanognemod. So, few days ago we start our protest: we start to write on huawei facebook pages, on twitter and aslo on the official forum to UNLOCK the BOOTLOADER. After 3 days of "spamming" huawei answer us that they will release the source before September.

This is a great result but, as i told you before, with a locked bootloader they're useless. But we demonstrate that protesting is the way!!

So i want to ask to you to JOIN US in this protest!!

You can go on facebook and twitter, on the official pages for Huawei Device and Emotion UI and see how many message like "unlock the bootloader" you can find!!!

In this moment Huawei thinks only to promote the P6 so, if the P6 customer starts to protest, this can became a terrible advertisement for them, and they can't ignore us anymore!!!!

JOIN OUR PROTEST and you will have an unlock bootloader and the opportunity to have great roms on a great device!!!!

Did you use this form?

Do you think we're stupid or fools?

Good for you if you have a phone which is inside this list, but it's not my case. And also the P6 has the same problem.

That's why i write here and not in the thread for the G510.

I'm chosing between P6 and HTC One X +. What do you think?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] BluntP6:
Do you guys suggest me Huawei P6? My Honor is broken and fixing it will cost too much. Should i buy P6, P2 or SGS3?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] zordo:
Ive been happy with my p6, but the booloader is locked. So I dont how long ill remain happy :). Oppo Find 5 is (at least here in Finland) in the same price range and it already has CM support etc. - things that p6 and p2 may never see.

P6 is quite small for a 4,7" screen device. Comparing to my old 4" GS this is thinner, 1mm wider and about 1cm taller. Rooting was very easy. Installing firmware updates is even easier - no need for pc. Just download and unrar the update to ext sd and youre good to go. Theres an OTA option aswell but it had no updates(Huawei website had).

And the phone gets hot when in heavy use. Connection sharing worked well via bt to ipad and via usb to my eeepc running Cruchbang linux - havent tried wifi tether yet. Huaweis emotion ui has some nice features (permissions for programs, camera use, internet), but I still think that vanilla android wouldve been a smarter move for them.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] BluntP6:
Hi, and thanks for your good reply!

I checked Oppo, and it looked great. The only bad things are its price and availability. I live in Finland, where 900hz connection is very important. The version which has support for this, costs 439e, almost 100 more than Huawei. And Oppo only sells this phone by himself, i should order it from abroad. And for Huawei i could just walk to the store and buy it.

Should i wait few weeks, and check if we have unlocked bootlocker then, or if the Oppo's price is lower ? :)
