Thank you, but I'd prefer Web page or email.

If I type a single letter 'č' in the default P7 SMS app, I have only 69 characters left, instead of 159. My previous Samsung stock app or CM were able to convert this in message so that they display 'č' but count and send 'c', which really simplifies typing.

EDIT

Of course, I pay everything over 160 chars as a new SMS.
[Huawei Ascend P7] DJ BlackEagle:
You're welcome. I prefer always the phone, because e-mail reply from companies often very slow. ;)

Curious, then I use ä (German), it's count only 1, but the ă (Czech I think), it's took over 100 chars. I'm not sure, if it's really take so much I don't know.

You must pay extra for extra long sms (over 160 chars)?
[Huawei Ascend P7] aVe2000:
A Unicode character is coded by 1 to 4 byte. All chars you can also find in ascii , are coded by 1 byte. The more seldom a character is,the more bytes are used. Chinese eg. needs 4 bytes. German letters are part of ascii. Therefore only one byte is needed. Sms app seems to count needed bytes.

Recommendation of buy

Hello,

I want to buy this piece of HW, but I have a few questions, which I want to get answers before buy.

I am a junior developer, so if it's good for testing apps.

Custom roms - I like to testing a new roms, so if this device going to have someone (I read, that Huawei is not good for these things). I saw only recovery.

Thanks for your responses :)
[Huawei Ascend P7] TimAnd:
I contacted Huawei through http://consumer.huawei.com/en/contact-us/index.htm?tag=email with this SMS issue but I've never received a reply. Shame.
[Huawei Ascend P7] DJ BlackEagle:
Hehe. That's why I prefer to call them.

A lot of big companies have this issue of replying of e-mails.

But you're right, it's a shame for companies then they don't reply.

the front, is this scratch free screen?

how about the back? what is it made of?

Startup manager on P7

Dear All!

I have just joined to this community. It looks very good and informative. I've already posted my problem in another topic but noone answered yet.

I've just updated my P7 to firmware B133. What I'm missing from my phone is the startup manager. I hoped if I do this update this feature will appear in my options. But it did not. Could someone please tell me which update contains the Startup manager?

I have another question. If I download a firmware update from a german webpage (for me it seems firmware updates only available to download from webpages from germany) will it contain other languages (i.e. hungarian)?

Thank in advance!

Peter from Hungary

(sorry for my bad english)
[Huawei Ascend P7] kolembo:
Start up manager was removed for kitkat

Google said it went against their policy. Huawei may bring it back because many want it back!

Hungarian will be supported.

Hi All,

Thinking about buying Ascend P7 (although maybe should wait patiently for Honor 6?)

I see that there is no consistent view on the Ascend P7. There are different opinions even on same device with same firmware.

Can some of you dear owners relate to the review on androidcentral?

Specifically the part about quirky software or Gmail not refreshing the emails in real-time.

Thanks
[Huawei Ascend P7] drguild:
I have my phone back now so I'm back in action.

I'm running B125 which you guys should be also between b123 and b125 was a update affecting mobile network settings my sim was affected in earlier versions with internet and fixed between these versions.

Tonight ill be setting my phone up properly after initial tests I'm doing now.

125 is rootable right?

I did not note the issue you described with gmail. The original ROM b121 updated to b126 is working fine. I'm trying MIUI right now, except NFc, everything seems fine.

I'm using b122. How can i update my phone? I mean that is there any update for my phone?

Ascend P7-L10
[Huawei Ascend P7] drguild:
You should be able to use the OTA updater if that doesn't work B126 is here but you will need to do it a manual way which may or may not work depending on what rom came with the device originally if its custom or if you are rooted which would mean you can't update in those circumstances.

P7 L00 totali bricked

Hello to everybody,

I've got a P7 L00 since july and I loved it, but 2 days ago, when I was about to unplug the power, I found the charging LED off and the device is completely bricked and is impossible to boot it by press any button.:crying:

Help me please, no way for warranty, I am in Italy and bought it in China

Thank you
[Huawei Ascend P7] arthios:
Sounds like a faulty phone. I bought mine from China too so as you say, no warranty. If the vendor won't help, can you get a repair in Italy? If not your only option is to replace the device.
[Huawei Ascend P7] drguild:
How are you all finding the 3G/4G reception?

I'm getting constant dropouts streaming music when on my other phones I had Huawei Y320 and a old dual sim Star X19i were fine.
[Huawei Ascend P7] blacklord9:
I got this phone 2 days ago and I have to say... I don't like it. It's much uglier than the P6 which had the absolute perfect proportions, compared, this one looks like it's mentally retarded older brother.

The performance is meh... just like the P6. The only reason I bought the P7 and not just another P6 is because I hoped that they fixed the fking lag on the notification panel. But no it still lags like **** on any other launcher except the default one (and it doesn't work well on that one either). Applications run slightly better mostly because this time they used a mainstream GPU and not some obscure brand that is often confused with a video game studio. But overall it just wasn't worth the money. If someone would ask me what phone to get I'd probably say P6. Not to mention P6 are dirt cheap now, get a full body screen guard and you are set for atleast 2 more years.

The screen is much better however and the one I got has 0 backlight bleed compared to my P6 that had massive bleed right out of the box. The screen has 0 bleed but funny enough now the backlight spills through the plastic and makes it look cheap in the dark with full backlight (atleast on the white version). Not that anyone would be rocking 100% backlight in complete darkness but it's still a problem.

I would have bought an Allview x2 Soul in a heartbeat if it had a microsd slot... or atleast a 32GB version.
[Huawei Ascend P7] MSprecher:
As many other P7-L00 owners I also had a problem with the phone not recognizing the micro-simcard in Slot 1 after a few weeks. Since there were no replacement-parts for P7-L00 in Europe I had to send it in to my seller in China (Etotalk). This takes a long time because china post is very slow, then quite often there are customs inspections requiring documents for clearance from the reciepient. All in all one has to calculate 2-3 monts for a warranty repair at the factory in P.R.China. But a 400$-phone is worth the pain.

Good luck!

The official Emui roms for Huawei devices.

Multiple versions of the roms are also posted there if you need an earlier one.

Anyone else getting occasional Huawei adverts?

I have the L00 and just then I got a red star in my notification drop-down which opened up a Chinese page of products I could buy at vmall.

Also in the Huawei app center you get messages in Chinese about products and apps and a Huawei points/ gift thingy.

The Huawei App center is ok for updating the inbuilt stock apps which aren't on the play store like Music player and other default system stuff but that's about it really.

I'm not rooted or anything and awaiting the Emui 3.0 later this month on the OTA.
[Huawei Ascend P7] ctibor:
I did the following with my P7-L00:

1. Uninstalled all Chinese apps I could.

2. Froze some not uninstallable system apps (e .g. Chinese input app)

3. Still there are some that you can neither uninstall nor freeze, e.g. Vmall, Game box. In case of these I ignored them in App Center's Update manager, so at least the phone does note update them regularly in vain (since I never use them).

I've never got those kind of ads so far.
[Huawei Ascend P7] samsungandriod:
I simply disabled the Huawei app center. After that I never get any ad...
[Huawei Ascend P7] pyb38:
What is your problem ? Your phone is freezed ?

To unbrick mine, I installed a custom recovery through adb command, put a recovery flashable ROM on my µSD and then reflashed the ROM.

Once my phone was unbricked, I installed back the official recovery, put an official ROM on the µSD and I did the update and then it worked.

The root work good. but now xposed do not activated?
[Huawei Ascend P7] drguild:
I'm curious why theres soo many people with L10 that tried to update to EMUI 3.0 despite it being classed as a development version and not suitable for general use as it wasn't on OTA also these people decided to flash another models EMUI 3.0 rom like the L07 as there was no official L10 dev rom.

Given we should all know how hard our devices are to root, flash and the incompatibilities of roms between versions etc, a reason I haven't done anything yet and still on stock it should be common knowledge that if you update you may not be able to go back to the older rom or worse brick and render your device totally unusable.

I know some people are eager to try the latest, but I don't see the point in potentially risking your device just to do it especially if you don't know about roms, flashing and other things, which allot of those trying would be very new and unskilled in this area. If you have a device you can write off to learn or a open device like a nexus which is a lot safer (even then upgrades are usually non backwards compatible as fastboot and bootloaders even get updated) then yeah sure go ahead but one must remember that doing things like this is high risk for devices like ours and a problem could end up costing a new phone / device and one should be prepared for that scenario without getting upset.

I just find it strange soo many on this forum jumped in to a beta development version while crying because it wasn't available for their device and then flashing other models roms.

Also all the people trying to force xposed to run, as it seems they might feel that without it there phone is unusable and worthless to them, there is a good chance it won't work without a lot of work or modification to system files, especially with certain modules as you can see reading some of the posts in this forum.

While I agree with learning and tinkering overall, be safe and smart with roms, flashing, xposed etc don't risk your device unless you know what you are doing just to have the latest beta or development version, which these words mean that the rom has a few bugs mby a couple major ones also and isn't ready for mainstream public usage or those trying to use xposed just to have a transparent status bar etc which isn't worth the risk and modifications to the system for a few minor ui tweaks.

Also I mentioned earlier about kinda advert notifications here is Huawei pushing out one for their Cloud app reminding you to use their online storage. Pressing on the notification opens the cloud app.

As mentioned I don't have too much of an issue and happens occasionally not all the time, the update app for example has updated the inbuilt apps like file browser music player etc you can't do otherwise, and only once had a huawei vmall shop notification advert and a couple others for other preloaded apps you could remove so not really fussed just showing what is sent thats all.
[Huawei Ascend P7] drguild:
Emui 3.0 b608 has been pushed live on OTA for L00 in the last few hours.

Grabbing it down now will let you guys know how it goes.

So far seems ok ok testing I don't know about call quality etc as I hardly get calls.

Main thing to me is data reception which I mentioned earlier in the thread wasn't the best.

Seems they made it look like L with navigation etc despite it being 4.4.2 still.

[Huawei Ascend P7] Falcon1:
If I were you....

If I were you, think twice,please read it careful what a client said:

If Huawei does not provide to the international people up-to-date Software, they will lose many customers, I am the one who will choose Samsung, iphone or Sony smartphones for daily use, since these devices are being updated permanently and this is very important to fix bugs and to have the best apps in our devices. This is the first time I use a Huawei product and unfortunetly for huawei the last one. Ask Apple costumers one of the main reasons why they enjoy buying iphones or ipads, most of them will say: "because of the constant updates they receive in their devices via ota". This is also called good aftersells service.
[Huawei Ascend P7] jonas_sabimbi:
Exactly . But my question is : Even with not the best software , with that hardware , the phone should be ok in this range price , no ?

I fear bugs , amateur bugs , but is temptenting when you look at the paper and see FHD, 4G , MicroSD slot , 13 mpx , 2gb ram etc etc.

But then , again , i don't care about antutu's , and some kind of numbers. I want daily use experience and feedback from people that have one. Thanks

[Huawei Ascend P7] haki.gr:
I sold my Moto G (2014) a few days ago to get the P7 at an attractive price (250 euro, sim-free). The P7 clearly has a better screen and camera. There is a difference in processing power but it's not very evident in everyday usage. Where there is a very noticeable difference is in free RAM where P7 always leaves at least 800 MB free while to Moto G easily dips below 200 MB.

It's a matter of priorities. The Moto G is dual-sim, its stereo front speakers are just heaven and it will be on Lollipop extremely soon. The P7 is way mote luxurious, a little more powerful in practice, it has a superb 8 MP front camera and it's a 4G phone, a feature that I use extensively here in Greece. I really have good things to say for both devices and it's all up to you which one you need more.

Just bought a Note 4 and your gonna laugh.

I don't know how Huawei does it - I think it's the color temp esp at the coolest setting - the P7 display rocks. It's better than the note. At least it looks better.

The colors are better, the whites pop, the camera (particularly the selfie) is very good and the whole thing feels more premium.

And the P7 absolutely feels better in the hand. With the new emui 3.0 the interface is very attractive.

I find myself reaching first for the P7. Given the Note 4’s S-pen actually IS fabulous and it's faster on the internet.

But the P7 is incredible. I thought I was upgrading by going to the note. It's not as clear as that.... The P7 comes out almost on par.

Now I know for sure what my next phone is. The P8.

NFC Support

Hi Friend,

I too ordered from China and found it does not support NFC. My wish is to have both NFC and Dual Sim. Do you know which version support it?
[Huawei Ascend P7] MSprecher:
I would recommend to do a force update (vol+and vol- and power at the same time) with a stock firmware from dload-directory on internal root or from the root of a SD-Card to be sure you are on stock-recovery.

hat firmware version are you using now? If you are on B851 it may be you have to do the rollback to an EMUI 3.0 firmware and after that a rollback to the original EMUI 2.3 firmware.

I had mine unlocked on EMUI 2.3 B121. It is also necessary to have Hisuite installed on your PC for the connection.

Good luck!

BTW: P7-L00 has NO NFC where as the P7-L10 (Single SIM) has NFC! So do NOT mix Firmwares for the P7-L10 with firmwares for P7-L00. You will brick your phone.
