The antutu benchmark screenshots and also the "settings>about device" screenshot of the p7, show that it is with 3.0.8 kernel, which would be really embarrassing if they released the phone with that kernel.

I have read nexus 5 users talking about how they increased they antutu score to 35000 (from 25000) by playing with the kernels.

In terms of pricing i see that the Mate 2 (4G) is priced at 2888 yuan which is quite high in my view, and the p6 was priced about 30$ higher than the mate 1 last year, and possibly P7 could be priced at the same range making it priced around 490$. Which is a no deal for me.

If the p7 was priced below 400$ (with other Chinese manufacturers offering higher spec with much lower price, Huawei cant instead pump up their price like a Samsung or Apple), and did not change in dimensions as much (one of the reason i went for p6 was that it was from the few good spec phones available (like Nexus 4) with a reasonable size), and the kernels upgraded, i would find the p7 a very attractive offer for a upgrade of my p6. Ofcourse using the k3v3 would have been great and kind of a future proof for the P7, but since i don't even play games or need such a high power, having the kirin910T ain't much of an issue. Other than that im expecting new features on Emui2.3 like the off screen gesture support, but i hope they add much more that p6 users feel new and fresh on emui2.3. I like the new changes in external design like the round power button moved to the center, but i hope they keep the bottom and top bezels like the p6 and not large like a Sony. Also seems like the black P7 might look more awesome than the white (i have the white p6, so a personal opinion ;) ) in which case i might switch to black.

The phones currently that would compete with P7 would be the Nexus 5 ofcourse, and the flagships of 2013 like S4, Lg G2, HTC One etc and than there is Gionee S5.5 (which has the 8core meaditek chip, 5.5mm slim, and glass casing but does have much higher vertical size although priced far cheaper), all the Chinese 2014 flagships of Xiaomi, Meizu, Vivo, ZTE Nubias, One plus, etc especially because they are being priced at least in China with super cheap pricing. If one of these Chinese flagship bring their phone on 5" or lesser size with premium exterior looks (which Meizu, Vivo and even ZTE Nubia has shown they are completely capable off) than that could be tough competition for Huawie's P7.

Serious competition for Huawei from Vivo, who is releasing the Vivo Xshot phone which got some exceptional camera and looks (Huawei was to use that as selling point for the P7 too), on May 7 i.e, same date as release of P7.

^From the looks of it at the end of the video where the P6 white falls over the P7 black, the height of p7 looks same as that of p6. Its a relief if true. A slim phone with a bigger size would have felt more susceptible to getting bent and broken, and im not at all into phablet size phones.

If you enabled ROG then indeed is only 720p

How it is possible u can seeinto my device?!?!

Omg no dont say that chinese replica ... i think china people stopped doing.that.. they realized instead of doing ****ty fakes they now making very nice great their own brands ...

I think i have rog enabled :D sebek was rigth :P

I have not currently this device to know if you activate power save mode -> ROG your device come in 780X1280 :D

But I'll try to make a TWRP recovery for your device ( like in my Huawei P6) - that's why I was a little surprised .

Anyway, I'm glad to know that you have a certified product Huawei .

Good luck !
[Huawei Ascend P7] Simona Simmy:
thnx but am still ont happy that it doesnt support 5G wifi .. only 2G ...

and i have updated firmware from [MENTION=1449938]sebek[/MENTION] Try to apply the update from that URL (L10 only) http://android-host.de/HUAWEI/P7/B121SP01/B121SP01.zip but after update notification showed that this is test version any faults refer to somebody i forgot who i mistakenly cleared that notice.. is this version bad ?

[IMG="test version ?"][/IMG]

EDIT: In addition I have tested 4g/LTE speed and I cant believe my eyes .. so i am on 4g right? and... just see picture this is just ridiculous this , i have no words really ... they are so so full of crap so all fake .. they will tell u makreting crap yes we have 4g it is fast as hell downloads in seconds yeah ..etc .. and it is just slower than 3g

and this is 3 uk .. they are bunch of liars all of them.. !

HOW on earth can be upload faster than download.. and such embarrassing download ? unbelievable !

Simona was your phone branded? If so, find my post some pages behind with the procedure to correctly update and unbrand your phone.

I had the same test version message on my phone updating with the file you used, now with my other procedure everything is correct.
[Huawei Ascend P7] arthios:
You are a GENIUS!!!!

I used the update file for P7-L07 (link very kindly provided by jkmaxfli) as that's the version phone I have. The forced update method worked flawlessly. My phone has been restored to "as new" condition. All I have to do now is root it again and restore my apps and I'm in business.

Thank you.Thank you. Thank you.
[Huawei Ascend P7] Simona Simmy:
what you mean branded ? it was normal and previously original software said custom .. and when i updated that above it say now official legal..

but that message shows up only after rebooting phone so.. should be ok till new proper release will comes up..
[Huawei Ascend P7] I am Legend:
It's not ok, if you go for a reset your phone will be a total mess. Branded means that you got it in a carrier shop, like Vodafone or Orange or Tim or SFR or whatever.

P7 VS Honor 6

I was just about to buy Ascend P7 when i got to know of honor 6. I think i should go for honor 6 as it has bigger battery, better processor and bigger ram. Also, it has IR blaster.:victory: And i was shocked to know that it cost less than Ascend P7.

According to Online Huawei Shop Honor 6 costs about 360$ whereas P7 cost about 500$. So, I just have to wait for 2-3 weeks.

So, what do you guys think about this.

And [MENTION=716658]warea[/MENTION] I need ur advice as u have much info about this..
[Huawei Ascend P7] sebek_d:
Thank you for sharing your plans with us :)
[Huawei Ascend P7] warea:
Every user have their own priorities, so you finally you have to decide based on what aspects are more important to you.

In terms of spec and pricing Honor 6 is clearly way better. But P7 has the better finishing in its looks. I was hoping a P7 high end version might release with Kirin 920 chip, in which case my selection would be P7 for sure even if i had to pay more. On the other hand, if a P7 high end version doesn't come out i would have a tough time choosing between premium feel and looks with average specs (P7) and high end specs with less than perfect looks (honor 6) (as well as cheaper pricing) as im not much of a power user anyway and the high specs in many ways are kind of useless to me. Ultimately i would want to have both hands on and see whether if P7 feels way better to make such a sacrifice over specs. The Ascend D3 to be released was also on my list of choice, but the leaks increasingly refer to it being a 6inch device, and hence im no longer looking forward to it.

Regarding Honor6, some points to notice. The first batches released are mobile version and not suitable for international users. The unicom version is not released yet. Secondly, there will also be a higher clocked version of Honor 6 with NFC included, that they plan to release in couple of months. And third they plan to release the Emui3.0 beta by end of July, which means the official version of Emui3.0 might take a couple months. So all in all i personally wouldn't mind waiting for all of that to settle out before i venture into changing my P6 to one of them. But if you are more urgent in need to buy a new one, then atleast wait for a honor 6 version that would be compatible internationally.

Edit: Got a Honor 6. No regrets at all in buying it and 100% better than P7.
[Huawei Ascend P7] Simona Simmy:
Aalright , no it is not carrier it is from italy £260 cheapest i found.. on amazon..

No i wont reset it .. no reson for it..
[Huawei Ascend P7] I am Legend:
Simona I'm from Italy and here everybody is having that issue with the Tim brand version of the P7... So all I can say is that maybe yours is Tim as well.
[Huawei Ascend P7] gommers1978:
I have upgraded my P7-L00 to the latest firmware, it has some new features, and the alarm clock is fixed (it did not ring again after snoozing) when i recieved a push message it showed null in the header that is also fixed now.

But when i upgraded the set_immutable.list kept coming back after a reboot, i solved it by flashing the boot.img from the older firmware.

So in the update they have edited the boot.img to restore set_immutable.list after every reboot i think :(
[Huawei Ascend P7] Simona Simmy:
I have no idea what or who is it .. or you talking .. can u explain more specific? who is tim what issue , what this suppose to mean?!? is it i habe fake P7?!!!

Gonna send.it back then!!

EDIT: I just checked been sold by Saitel SRL
[Huawei Ascend P7] I am Legend:
Tim is a carrier. Just like Vodafone or AT&T or Orange or H3G. A branded phone is a phone which has a custom firmware for a specific carrier. Sometimes you get specific apps for that carrier pre-installed on your phone, or a custom splash screen, wallpapers etc. etc.

In your case I suppose your P7 was originally a Tim (which is one of our carriers here in Italy), just like mine.

That doesn't mean it's fake or else. The phone itself is identical to all the other p7, but the firmware is different (even if, I gotta say, on this P7 for Tim there was no sign of branding).

By using the file you've used you made a partial update, cause that file is for the no carrier P7, that's why you get that message on every boot.

As I told you, if for some reason you'll reset your phone you'll get tons of issues right now.

But if you update with the procedure I've explained few pages ago, your p7 will get the proper update plus it will become a no carrier P7, so it will be able to receive without any problem all of the future updates (phones by carriers usually get updates later or in the worst case they don't get it at all).
[Huawei Ascend P7] Simona Simmy:
@ legend

Aalriight ..

Looks like seller prepared the mobile specific for UK u and that is why there was custom build previously.. so he unbranded it.. There was 119 build.. b4 ..

But all was ok working perfect .. even now after update all is ok apart that message i am dissapinted that phone doesnt support 5G wifi
[Huawei Ascend P7] Remcom00:
So i've tried this but it doesn't seem to be working.

I am of course rooted etc.
[Huawei Ascend P7] hannanzikrea:
Thanks for ur help :good:

I asked Huawei Online Shop and they told me the version which was going to be in stock after 2 weeks was chinese version. So, I think i should buy P7 now because it will probably take 2-3 months after international honor6 will come.

It is urgent to buy phone because i had sold my P6 (as i was just to buy P7).

I also have a new plan. I will buy P7 for now on and then when honor 6 will come in Pakistan i will sold P7 if required and get Honor 6.:fingers-crossed:
[Huawei Ascend P7] Simona Simmy:
hi can u do CWM i preffer that
[Huawei Ascend P7] surdu_petru:
Do you tried to set set_immutable to 0 instead removed ?

Sure, I don't know if it will work , but you can try and let me to know .

How ?

> adb shell
$ su
# exec /sbin/set_immutable 0
# exit
$ exit

I don't know how it behavior in your device, but I already added this stuff in my P6 device , and I can see this :

> adb shell
$ su
# exec /sbin/set_immutable 1
/system/set_immutable.list: get flag 80080
/system/set_immutable.list: get flag 80080
/system/set_immutable.list: set flag 80090
# exec /sbin/set_immutable 0
/system/set_immutable.list: get flag 80090
/system/set_immutable.list: get flag 80090
/system/set_immutable.list: set flag 80080
# exit
$ exit

If in this way does not work, let me to know and I can remove set_immutable binary from boot.img .

Of Course I can do, but why you prefer older custom recovery , instead the new custom recovery TWRP ?

First is touch, more ergonomic and includes more options, because is newest I guess it's better than CWM .

I know there is a also CWM touch, but since was released TWRP - I work for and use only TWRP .

Because I think there are some developers willing to perform CWM to your device, I will let the opportunity to do so. I'm content with TWRP. :o
[Huawei Ascend P7] Tt0b1:
Hi,

does anybody have an idea how to switch from dalvik to art on the p7? The libs (libart.so & libart-compiler.so) are there on the phone, but the option to switch to art is not available in the developer options. First I've really been disappointed by the battery runtime (hardly lasted a whole day for me).. Now after enabling ROG it got a whole lot better, but I'm still interested in how much better it can get when using art instead of dalvik. Also does anybody know what exactly happens when you activate ROG?
[Huawei Ascend P7] olegusss:
Patch art

In China forum published next information

translate Google:

"ART mode you want to open the intake need to use a third-party recovery service pack and unpack brush into the second package is installed then you can see inside the ART model development model development model requires five consecutive click the version number of the third party can not open needs ROOT permission to install a gorilla made of APK REC"

I'm Not tested.

[Huawei Ascend P7] I am Legend:
Yes as I said the Tim firmware has actually no sign of branding, but still it didn't get the latest update.

About the set_immutable.list I used another way.

First of all you have to be rooted and then install Busybox (install busybox installer from Play store and then with it you can install Busybox)

Then, with Android Terminal emulator you go with this:

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

cd system

lsattr

chattr -R -i *

rm –f /system/set_immutable.list

lsattr

(Enter after each line...it's LASTTR with an L not a capital i)

Edit: An upate on using the art vm instead of dalvik: I managed to switch to art using adb (thanks to surdu_pertu), but it got stuck at the Huawei logo on reboot and went to "Rescue" mode after a while.. Seems to have a reason that it's not available in the development options. :(

Problem rooting phone

Having managed to rebuild my phone after a dreadful foulup, I now find I can't get root. When I was on build 120 it was rooted OK and nothing changed with build 121. Now, with build 122 it's not possible. I've tried rootgenius and both english and chinese versions of vroot. I did think of downgrading to build 121 but I can't locate the file anywhere. All I have is the update file for build 122.

[Huawei Ascend P7] arthios:
Yes the phone is detected and ADB recognises the phone too. When I run rootgenius the best it can manage is to install the kinguser app but no su binary is installed. The set_immutable.list file is identical to earlier builds so that's not the cause of the problem. I'll try resetting the phone to its factory state and see what happens.

Edit:

All of the resetting in the world didn't work. But then, I found needrom.com and downloaded an update rom. Build 119. After installing using the force update method. I was able to achieve root using root genius. It will be interesting to see what happens to the root binary when I allow the update to build 122. If I lose it, I'll know not to permit further updates.
