Hey bud

My P2 gets rather hot too, especially whilst on the phone to someone, the speaker will heat up to the point where it physically burns to put it next to my ear.. I have also experienced this with other phones such as a Galaxy Spica and Galaxy Note N7000, so I know it's not just a Huawei thing. The RAM usage of the phone is always high, even on my phone it's high.. I find myself disabling everything on startup and having to reboot the phone occasionally because it'll end up with only 150MB left out of the 1GB I have.. however android is known for eating the RAM like it's nothing so I wouldn't worry about it.

I hope my tips have helped you somewhat.

Custom Roms

I have been waiting very patiently for a custom ROM to come out on this phone but I'm starting to think one will not come out. On the internet "Huawei ascend p2" and "Custom ROM" do not go together. I just wanted to know if anyone was developing one or knows something about someone else developing one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdcrispe95:
I wish I knew how to make a custom ROM but I don't otherwise I'd be making one as I typed this message.

I hope someone out there is though, my hopes are held high..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikegianni:
been reading through this thread and a few others is there any a rom for the p6 would run on the p2 ? from what i have read hardware is very similar and chipset etc are the same, sorry if this is a noobie question but we got the p2 for my eldest and i am so used to flashing my samsung devices i am getting a little frustrated with this p2. So far i have unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdcrispe95:
From what I can understand I don't think any of the P6 ROMs will work on the P2.. which is rather unfortunate. This is not a definite no but I personally don't believe it would work.

However, porting a P6 ROM to a P2 is a completely different story and would be fairly easy if the hardware was mostly the same.

Hey pal, your tips were great thank you, i got my phone back from huawei last week i guess because i complained so much to three they must off told huawei, before i sent my phone it had some really deep scrathes on it and a chip the bottom corner when i got my phone back they changed the housing on the phone and didnt charge me a penny aswell result!! the phone is running a lot better now aswell they probably changed the motherboard too they say we are a nation of complainers if you complain enough then i guess u get results
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdcrispe95:
No problem, I'm glad I could help.

Haha yeah they sent me a new phone too after I tried flashing the bootloader, failed and currupted my phone (it wouldn't turn on anymore)

they said the phone had a motherboard problem but they couldn't tell me anymore than that :good:

Hello, I have an available update but it fails because I edited the build.prop i think. Can anyone post the original P2-6011 B021 original build.prop, Or tell me how should I update my phone.

P2 Issues

Hello.

I'm new to the forum so I would like to use this post to present me as well: I'm Giovanni and I'm from Italy.

I recently bought an Ascend P2-6011 from a UK store through Amazon, and the problems with the handset started right away:

the LED on the back was not always working with the Torch and Camera apps.

More specifically, when the temperature reached a certain level, the LED would automatically turn down itself, despite the ON or OFF stateon the apps themselves.

Therefore, I wrote to the store, I sent back the faulty phone and I received a replacement unit.

Too bad that this one has the same exact problem as the previous.

I discovered, thanks to this thread, that by using the code *#*#2846579159#*#* on the phone app (I'm running firmware B024 no brand) I can go in the ProjectMenuAct manteinance menu.

There I can test the LED in both camera flash mode and led torch mode (Aging related Test). I was also able to test the 4G (LTE) functionality on my network (I WIND).

Turns out that, despite the phone being a little hot and the flash or torch not working in the apps, the LED performs just fine during the tests.

So I think that a unit hardware fault could be excluded, it definitely looks like a software bug.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with the B024 no brand firmware?

My codes are: P2-6011V100R001C00B024 and Custom version: CUSTC364D001

Also, I looked for a firmware update, but the online update doesn't find anything, despite reading of people that have more recent softwares (B038, etc.).

One last thing: lurking online I found a russian Huawei website which has a bunch of updates for the P2-6011: huaweidevices.ru/category/huawei-ascend-p2-6011/

I see that there is a B039 update, but it's from Telnor Denmark. Is it safe to update from my no brand B024?

To anyone that has a Telnor Denmark branded device, how much bloatware/boot logo is in your unit?

Is it possible, after the update, to revert back to the B024 (maybe by dumping the firmware)?

Thank you in advance for your help and sorry for this wall of text. :)

Still having issues with the P2

Not changed my ROM since getting the UK B038 update OTA, but I am getting to the point where I feel the need to do something, because my camera is still totally ****ed compared to how it was before. I was thinking about downgrading, but I don't wanna lose access to 4G, etc. The OTA update only seemed like a partial thing, from 25 and it was that which gave me the most hassle, so I was thinking maybe I should reinstall update 38 from a full file.

I dunno what to do, I am just worried about messing up my phone even more if I do try anything. The only time the phone ran decent was the first couple of months on the B017 firmware, which was stock for me, but even that was.. broken to me--compared to what I am used to experiencing on other phones.

Also can someone confirm if this method for downgrading works okay? ---> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53887055&postcount=17

I was honestly hoping that aside from Huawei actually doing something, that we would also have at least one good custom ROM by now, and I've still not seen anything to suggest either have happened. It's disappointing, and I will be stuck with this damn thing for another year or so, cause that's when my contract finishes. This phone has just totally confused me, I knew where I was on my Galaxy Europa, and that also had a tonne of custom ROMs for it--it still does, despite being very old and underpowered.

Anyway, sorry to rant and ramble, it's just so frustrating y'know... I see a couple of people here got good results from taking it back to the store to send for repair, but that's really not an option I want to explore, because I need my phone all the time... What would you guys suggest I do? If I downgrade, what firmware version should I use, and if not, is it worth me re-flashing B038?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyfive73:
B038

I couldn't get the OTA upgrade because I unlocked the boot-loader and deleted some unnecessary programs, but then noticed my wife had B038 which gave her LTE and seeing that's its coming very shortly I wanted it, I found the complete file and installed it with no problems, The camera seems fine, you just touch the screen of what you want focused and it is perfect.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _wolfpup:
I hadn't tried the screen touch method of focusing till now, but it didn't help much, as the end results are still bad for me. Grainy, it's not even blur or anything like that, just like random artefacts for no reason. They are all over and move around, so I know it's not something on the lens, it's not very noticeable from a distance--but when you actually take a shot and look at it full size it looks horrible.

I tried to attach a facebook snap but xda wouldn't let me until I hit 10 posts.

I cant see the problems you are talking about, you might have a faulty phone, Huawei are good at repairs so long as the warranty is still valid. send it back with them with an example and tell them your not happy. I sent he wife's phone back and she got a replacement.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _wolfpup:
Oh.

Well here's the thing, the camera was always fine on the stock firmware, which was version B017. It would be a bit too coincidental for the camera hardware to suddenly become faulty after updating to B025, so I am convinced it is a software issue, but until I have checked I won't know.

I might go into a Three store and ask, cause apparently they sometimes give loan phones while yours is being checked, but if they don't then I'd rather not be without a phone while it's with Huawei.

Turn the phone off, hold Volume DOWN + Power whilst the phone is plugged into the computer and wait for it to recognise.

Then try

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Make sure you open CMD in that folder by holding the SHIFT key and right clicking, like so:

[IMG="How to open CMD from folder"]http://i.imgur.com/hU5Nh8c.png[/IMG]

Your CMD window should look like this:

[IMG="Flashing recovery.img"]http://i.imgur.com/Mi281KB.png[/IMG]

Also make sure the IMG files name is "recovery.img" and not something other than that.

Make sure your device has USB Debugging ENABLED, like so:

[IMG="USB Debugging"]http://i.imgur.com/Nak1pfY.png[/IMG]

After you've made sure USB debugging is enabled, with your phone plugged into the PC type "adb reboot bootloader", like so:

[IMG="adb reboot bootloader"]http://i.imgur.com/vrnpFyp.png[/IMG]

If you've tried all of the above and it's still not working, make sure you have your phones driver installed. You can do that by going to Device Manager:
