I did exactly that and they are happy to let me go. We spent over an hour on the phone. They say there's nothing they can do. There's no block to lift as such. It is simply not possible to use a Three phone sim for data access in that phone. At least according to the Team Leader.

Has anybody got data access on this phone with a normal sim?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mru55:
Wow! Hardliners. That means that the offer ain't that great if they are offering unlimited LTE but only if you use a phone which makes it impossible to consume serious data..............

Then phone can definitely do LTE data. Between my wife and I, we have used several different providers in Germany, Holland, Belgium, and France.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DrHRH:
Thanks for the reply. So I presume the Sim cards you used were all normal phone sims which allowed you to make calls and send texts as well?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mru55:
Correct. Just "voice" sims. Data traffic is charged (dearly). My employer was none too thrilled;but hey, I was working off my work e-mails...........

On one private one, I can book 1GB UMTS data for €10 for 30 days. And the card works no matter what; even international data roaming.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] ralphrmartin:
I've been round this loop, and was happy with 3 until this happened. I argued with them for a long time, but they just did not want to know.

If I have a phone SIM, no data is allowed as it is in a "tablet".

If I have a data SIM, no phone calls can be made.

In short, 3 simply cannot (or at least refuse to) provide a service to anyone with this device.

In the end I signed up with and took my number to Giff Gaff, and am happy. If you want an introduction, let me know, and we both get £5 back.

Just goes to show that what seems to be a good deal is just another attempt to rip you off.

Glad to hear that you found a good solution for you.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DrHRH:
Before I commit to this I've got 2 questions:

1) Is the X1 good enough as a daily driver to warrant switching? Bearing in mind I'm using a superb phone at the moment, the Lumia 1520 whose only shortcomings are to do with lack of apps. Otherwise it's silky smooth and really stable.

2) Has anyone tried TPO? It's a new network that uses EE, the UK best coverage.

What do people think?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Reji Kamal:
Hi

I own mediapad honor x1 bought directly from Huawei (model 503L ,LTE) Data service is working all sims I checked ie Tmobile, 3, vodafone. Only problem i found is vodafone and o2 4G frequency is not compatible (800 Mz) but 3g works fine with them also. I am currently using Vodafone sim, no issue with data connection.

:)O
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DrHRH:
Thanks for that. So do you know if EE gives you a 4G signal then? I'm very surprised that you managed to get access to any kind of data using a 3 sim card.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Reji Kamal:
Yes EE and 3 mobile 4g works well in my device.To make it confirm I personally visited their shop in Sheffield and asked for sim only contract, inserted sim card and checked, EE gives 17 mb downloading speed too, vodafone 3g works as normal as in other devices. both downloading and uploading below 8 mb
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DrHRH:
Are you absolutely sure about Three and is it a phone sim which gives you texts, data and phone calls? It seems weird that yours works and both my PAYG and my contract Three sim cards tell me I'm not allowed to use a phone sim in this phone. Was it the 3 shop you tested the sim in?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Reji Kamal:
Yes ,3 shop in Sheffield .At that that time the shop don't have a Pay as you go micro Sim but they took a normal Sim and re sized it .then we tried .IT was working well.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DrHRH:
When was that exactly? Wondering if it was before they changed the policy. How old is the sim that works?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mru55:
I can only emphasise that it is a question of policy whether a network is accessible, rather than a question of modem/radio capability.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DrHRH:
Of course. When did the policy change - does anyone know? I've a feeling it was 2012 ish.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mru55:
I would guess that the policy did not change, but that it is part of the tariff / offer.

Reji kamal used a pay as you go SIM of 3,which does not have the block.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DrHRH:
That's definitely not true. I've got 2 Sims - one PAYG and one Pay Monthly. Neither of them works in this phone for data on Three UK.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mru55:
Sorry. I misunderstood you. I thought you had a special rate, but specifically for phones; and that 3 also offered one for tablets but without the voice option.

Have you had the opportunity to test the SIM from another provider? That is, have you ever been able to "do data" on your X1?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DrHRH:
Yes. I've tried Vodafone and Orange and got 3G data with both. Only tried in an area where there's no 4G available so still have no idea whether this model (7D-503L) has the right hardware for 4G data on any network.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mru55:
That's where I went wrong! I thought it was someone else confirming that it worked with other providers.

3G should work regardless. Have a look on the 3 website and look for phone setup. Usually there is a service which sends you an sms. When you open it, the correct network configjration gets installed.

As for 4G, someone reported that one UK provider's network (800MHz) doesn't work.

Unlike GSM, the 4G (LTE) does not only work within a frequency, but also specific bands (in two digit numbers). The 503L has a dual modem which works in Chinese and in European networks. That was the good part (if you ever travel to China), the bad part is that we only get about half the number of bands compared to the international 501L.

Getting back to the original point of whether data works on the X1: if your X1 works with one provider, it works. Period.

When it doesn't, there is something odd (non standard) which should be easily fixed by the provider sms.

And a whole different issue is a provider blocking a service due the the subscription.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DrHRH:
Again, respectfully, you're incorrect. When I put either of my Three UK sim cards in the X1, I get the same message when I try to access the internet - telling me I've inserted a phone sim into a tablet and have to buy a mobile data sim if I want to use data on this device. It's nothing to do with subscription. The Three network has decided that the X1 is a tablet and that any tablet which takes a sim card can either make calls and texts OR use mobile data. Full stop. 3G/4G is a completely separate issue.

What I was wondering was: How many other UK networks have altered their business plan to stop people with tablets which have phone functionality (which Three deems the X1 to be) from using a normal phone sim to have phone, text and data functionality?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mru55:
That's what I mean when I say blocking.

As to your question : Three is the first provider I have heard of who categorically blocks a service purely based on device class.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DrHRH:
OK. So the next question is: Will the 703 work on any of the UK's LTE bands?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mru55:
This is post #14.....
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] yetiweston:
Is should work with EE, I have the Media Pad M1 and I am able to make calls on that no problem. I'd go into an EE store if you can and just confirm it will work on your device
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DrHRH:
Thanks for that. Can you get a 4G signal on your M1 by the way?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] yetiweston:
Yeah, I get a strong 4G signal in most places, generally get download speeds between 30-40 Mb/s as well so great for streaming/downloading

32GB internal

Dear Sir,

I am an old newbie, BUT, I read somewhere that the 32GB internal might be the guilty because the carriers considers tha it Has to be a tablet PC:crying: With 16GB memory the problem is gone.

SO SORRY this is not how to fix your problem but it seems to be the reason.

Kindly yours from an old man:angel:
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Moandal:
What nonsense! Plenty of phones have 32GB or more internal storage these days and none of them have this problem with 3 UK.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DrHRH:
That's what I was thinking, to be honest!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Sanxion:
Hi

I had the same problem mentioned by the original poster.

I bought a Huawei Mediapad X1 and inserted my Three sim - one plan, unlimited data etc - and received the same message about how my data plan was not intended for use in a tablet etc...

What is strange however is that I have been using phones whose screen size is 6.5"/6.44" without a problem - I therefore didn't expect to encounter a problem with the X1.

The X2 has now been released and I am tempted once again - however, I assume I will encounter the same problem as the X1 as it has a 7" screen.

Huawei have also just announced the P8 Max with a 6.8" screen. do you guys think that would be ok or would it have the same issue?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DrHRH:
Hi Sanxion,

I'm thinking exactly the same as you. Both the X2 and the P8 Max look really tempting but I can't go through the disappointment of not being able to use my 3 sim again. I have a feeling the only way we'll know is by getting one of the devices and trying it. They're so niche that it's unlikely there'll be enough people with the devices to get the answer we're looking for.

The other thing is that we could go for the dual sim variant and use a data only sim in slot 2. I haven't done the maths but it may work out affordable with 2 different PAYG sims. 1
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Sanxion:
Hi DrHRH

It's great that somebody else appreciates these devices!

I thought about doing this...using 2 sims. One for phone functionality and one for data.

However Three don't have a "tablet" sim that gives unlimited data and I don't really want to leave Three as I currently enjoy 4G coverage in my area and my one plan sim only costs me £12.90/month!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marki555:
As my phone is really show (at least 5 seconds for image to display after I press the Camera icon), I tried to measure speed of internal storage via AndroBench application. Just download that app from Play and run the Micro test. My result on Random Write test was only about 0.5 MB/s. I guess this is really too low. I tried LagFix Free app to TRIM the partitions but this didn't help. I have stock 4.2.2 with about 6 months of normal usage.

What are your results? Is the low random write speed indication of something?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afme89:
My phone takes around 1 sec for the camera to work. I did the test you requested and my results are:

sequential read 48.8MB/s

sequential write 3.13MB/s

random read 8.62MB/s

random write 0.23MB/s

Keep in mind I'm using 4.4 kit kat on my phone. So your 0.5MB/s is actually good, might want to compare your other results.

I'm pretty sure the internal storage speed has little to do with your camera app launch.

Try setting the SD card as default storage in the camera app.

i'm new to android so sorry for asking stupid question. I've a rooted m8 on android hd revolution rom. now for the 10.2 version it says i should ve an updated firmware.my original one was 1.54.401.10. to take an OTA they say i ve to go back to stock.now im confused which ruu should i download. thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
There is no RUU for 1.54.401.10 available as at today.

What you need is a stock backup.

here is my TWRP backup for 1.54.401.10

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54564526&postcount=1471

Stock Recovery : http://sourceforge.net/projects/htconem8/files/Recovery/1.54.401.10_recovery.img/download

I guess you know how to do backup and restore with TWRP. If you don't have one, you can get the one that I'm using in the link in my sig.

Basic thing to do is :

1. extract the backup on your PC

2. transfer the backup folder to your sdcard or external_sd depending where your TWRP backup folder is.

3. boot to recovery and restore the backup

After backup successful, you'll be notify of an OTA update. Before you can do the update, you need :

1. reboot to bootloader

2. flash the stock recovery that I linked above

3. reboot

4. do the OTA

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] kiteflyte:
I have just bought one of these from Ebay and I am happy with it so far. However it came locked to the Orange network and I would prefer to unlock it so I can use my Vodafone sim card. On looking on these forums, I believe that I have a G4 version - details:

IPL 2.10.0001

SPL 2.10.0001

GSM 02.07.20

OS 2.10.1.22

ROM Date 2/16/06

Do I have a G4? If so, I think this means that I will only be able to unlock the SIM and I won't be able to unlock the CID. Is this correct and what does that actually mean?

Assuming that I can only unlock the Sim, does anyone know how I can do this for free and are there any known issues using the Vodafone network with an Orange handset?

Also, have I got the latest ROM version and if not where do I get the correct one for this handset please? Do I actually need to upgrade it anyway?

Sorry for all the questions but I am new to this type of phone. :confused: Thanks....
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] TheBrit:
Yes you have a G4. :)

I have a G3 :(

I would be interested to know whether the G4s suffer the rear speaker issue of the G3s.

As for the ROM - if it's not broke then please, please don't try to "fix" it. You could very easily end up with a dead (bricked) device.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] kiteflyte:
Thanks for your reply Paul. I take your point about the ROM upgrade - I probably won't bother, however, I would still like to unlock the sim. Any ideas how to do this for free?

Haven't noticed any probs with the speakers so far - what issues are you having?

I noticed your processor runs at 250MHZ, mine only runs at 195MHZ - did you overclock it?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] TheBrit:
I run my device at 260 Mhz. Look at the ''Battery Status" thread. That is an overclocking utility.
