[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
Looks like Huawei is starting to release the device (I guess). They have updated their website with a 'price comparison' link, which takes you to the bottom of the page where they show a 'recommended shop'. There is only one reseller on the list right now 'PompMall' (http://www.pompmall.com/huawei-ascend-mate7-4g-lte-android-4-4-octa-core-6-inch.html), but they are out of stock on all models right now.

So hopefully this means we can get our hands on a Mate 7 soon.

I bought mine from oppomart. What do u guys think about oppomart. Bought the 3gigs ram gold version. I had to pay 29 bucks extra for express shipping via dhl or TNT .
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
I actually ordered one from Oppomart a couple of weeks ago, but they didn't have it in stock even though it clearly said in stock on their website. Then it was a big Chinese holiday, so I had to wait a week before they got back to work before I could confirm which model they were actually selling. I ordered the 2GB version in silver. When they finally got the device in stock (I was emailing their customer service like every day) they said they only had the L10 version. And since I wasn't sure whether it supports T-Mobile's LTE network, I had them cancel the order and refund my money (which I just got the email confirmation last night). The customer service was friendly and helpful though, so I may consider ordering from them again.

I'll email them again later this week and see if they have or will be getting the L09 version which we know works on T-mobile.

If you get yours before then, please let us know how it fairs on your local network and what your initial impressions are of the device.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanjsrik:
L09 is T-Mobile compatible?

Quick question, how do you "know" that the L09 version works with T-Mobile. I'm a T-Mobile customer and even Huawei has said that the version that is out is NOT compatible with the US bands.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pantmunu:
Oh wow .. U had to go through a long process. But yeah I'll let you all know for sure as soon as I get mine . I have T-Mobile as well as sprint .. So .. Let's see. I hope it works. It should. Since I paid for the express delivery option hopefully I'll get it a bit faster. No shipping email as of yet so .. Let's just wait .

And how about development. Hope it receives some good devs. New processors ... Aosp .. That would make this device a pretty beastly one.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
We asked a few of the reviewers that said they got LTE on T-mobile which model they had and they all said L09.

I am wondering the same about developer options myself. I don't think it's going to get much attention, but then again, we only need two good devs to make this device awesome. I've read that the EMUI is a problem, but the device itself is great. Maybe a CM11 port or an ASOP rom is all we need. A bounty could take care of that. [emoji2] The problem, of course, is that since this is not one of the well known processors, it's going to delay development.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pantmunu:
+1 on the port and bounty.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanjsrik:
who?

I'm going to hold off on this until a US-compatible version is released. Huawei is now answering that this will be sold through their US Huawei site (lord knows when, but they've at least updated their answers to say yes to US).

Who is the "we" who asked the reviewers and which reviewers said they got it to work on T-Mobile LTE network for the L09 model? Not doubting but would be good to know who said this and how it was said, as in, "they got it to work" or it is "supported"?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ2525:
Source? Thanks
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
These sites reviewed the AM7 and stated specifically that they got LTE on T-Mobile, but only HSPA+ on AT&T.

http://www.androidheadlines.com/2014/10/review-huawei-ascend-mate-7.html

If you look at the video (I will post a screenshot), you can see that the version he is using is MT7-L09.

Also the same reviewer talks about the AM7 getting T-Mobile LTE on his podcast (see this link http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55661899&postcount=4)

In the comments, someone asked which version Mathew Miller was using, and he replied MT7-L09 (I will post a screenshot of this as well).

I hope that answers your question.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanjsrik:
I'll wait

I will wait. I contacted Huawei and they stated that a version compatible with T-Mobile will be released through their US site.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cathain:
Amazon.de doing a promotion of a free Huawei Talk band B1 for pre-orders now. Still no indication of release date but that offer closes 29th Oct so probably at least then before it's released. I am almost certainly getting a note 4 but there is something nagging at me that I'll regret not getting the mate 7 instead....
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathknight:
do you think it can be possible to order a 3gb/32gb version, and get the international rom on it ? i live in France, and i need the french language and the google apps ;)
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getmobilephone:
The French language comes with the Chinese version and there is no restriction of Google service on Mate 7.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathknight:
thanks for your answer ! i was thinking chinese version was "software restricted" because i already ordered a Gionee smartphone, and no way to get the Goole apps correctly working on it...

and just to know (because i'm "starting to think about it") what is the best place to buy one (best price too :D)
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maokun:
Thank you for the info.

Just ordered one :good:

But at the checkout. Somehow the phone became 503.20 euro. And talk band became 111.94.

And they reducted 111.94

Maybe im missing something as i was using google translate all the way.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvygw171:
Are you planning on using this phone in the US on tmobile?

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krullendhaar:
Trouble outside China?

I was just wondering, what are the downsides to buying a phone from China?

Lets say its compatible with the bands in my country, what else is there to think of?

Can I just update it if android 5.0 comes out?

Does it have other languages?

Is there a chinese and a international ROM and what is the difference?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bond@007:
Ok for the french language and Playstore / Google Apps woks very well but what's happening with the AC adaptor ?

Can i charge the phone here in Belgium without problem or not ?

Have a nice day.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getmobilephone:
Zil (forum member from Belgium) did not tell us any prob of charging the phone. We can include an adapter for free, round head used in Europe.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bond@007:
Good new for the AC adaptator but Oppomart sell the phone at 541.86 euros and have the phone in stock (Silver in 2 Go and Gold in 3Go of ram).

What's your actual best prize ? Can i buy with Visa ?

Have a nice day.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getmobilephone:
It is amazed if they would let the 3/32 go at 699 USD. This is the not the market price in China, honestly to tell, it is sold over $800 USD for an immediate unit in China. This will last for another 2 weeks at least, per our HUAWEI lady.

Our 2/16 Dual-sim version is close to EU MSRP, DHL Express shipping included.

Our technician is still building our website. Will check if it can be available today or tomorrow. Good news, we accept all major credit cards, VISA included of course, and PayPal.

Thanks your interests.

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getmobilephone:
That's good price IF you can get it. Aliexpress has even lower price IF you can get it.

Our price reflects the real in stock availability and the market situation in China.

Unfortunatly, this model is currently out of stock for most of the resellers, including oppomart.

They are announcing 1 or 2 weeks of delays...

It is funny that they take your money and cannot ship in two weeks.

The real story is, more than likely, all of their inventory went to Chinese customers who paid over $800 USD.

Hello Getmobilephone,

My friend (the one that ordered a golden version from Oppomart) just told me that he had news from the reseller that the delay will be very long.

IF i order from your website "leharbour", can you confirm that all your units are in stock ?

Hello again [MENTION=6059439]getmobilephone[/MENTION] !

I was ready to buy one unit from your website but at the end of the process, i have seen the shipment price, more than 100 usd...

It's really expensive...

Can you propose another shipment system ? Much cheaper...
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getmobilephone:
Just a quick note to anyone who are interested in purchasing smartphones or digital from China:

The current international aviation regulation restrict shipment of lithium batteries. See links below:

http://online.wsj.com/articles/air-...-further-restrictions-on-batteries-1410126972

http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/cargo/dgr/Pages/lithium-batteries.aspx

Therefore, many carries do not accept shipment of digitals containing batteries. EMS China simply rejects any phone, MP3, etc. shipment, even in domestic China. FEDEX China accept shipment of smartphones under the condition that the battery is removed. DHL is one exception though complete paperwork and an inspection by DHL representative is mandatory.

http://www.dhl-usa.com/en/express/shipping/shipping_advice/lithium_batteries.html

From January 2015, DHL may ban shipment of batteries...

So we are limited to DHL. All phones shipped from our store will come with an invoice statement so that our customers will not encounter unwanted customs problems, under normal conditions.

We have attached the official DHL China price for 2014. Note this does not include the fuel surcharge and the fuel rate changes per month, ranging from 20%-22% this year. On our website, it is automatically calculated based on the latest rate.

In conclusion, for safety of the shipment and the restrictions placed by IATA, we can only choose DHL for battery shipment. If you want to purchase other items, please contact us (even if it is not listed, we are still building the website and it is beta version now) and we will find the best solution for your needs.

[MENTION=6059439]getmobilephone[/MENTION].. I was thinking about ordering, but those shipping prices took the wind out of my sails.. At those prices it should be overnight.. I understand it's a business and you have to make money..
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getmobilephone:
HI, If you check the shipping fee of Fedex or EMS, it is all similar. And there is no international overnight service, to our knowledge.

As we mentioned in another thread, the phone is sold at significant markup. To be honest, the vendor's price has been levered up significantly and we only have limited supplies from HUAWEI. You can wait for a month or so when the supply returns to normal. This week features the Single's Day in China and the stock issue will be 10x challenging.

Best!

sw issues on 3/32 model? Any available ON STOCK and ready for delivery?

I ordered the phone from one seller and it has been blocked on the custom.

Ordered from another seller and, after 12 days they answered me that the 3/32gb version (the golden one, obviously) has some software stability issues so "huawei has suspended the delivery for the moment"

On this I've made an internet search and I have found no news

My question are:

- is that true or simply they are out of stock and they can't provide the phone (they suggested me to switch to the 2/16 dual sim version)

- [MENTION=6059439]getmobilephone[/MENTION] do you have MT7-TL10 Gold 3/32 ON STOCK and ready for delivery? (express delivery, obviously ;)

can you provided also already rooted (does the root still support italian language)? If the device is rooted can it still receive OTA updates? :p

Oh. Sorry to hear. We have sent many units to Europe already and this is the FIRST time we heard our customer was charged for VAT. You see we prepared the invoice statement and surprisingly the French Customs charged this mount of money on this shipment.

Maybe the law is very different in France or, simply bad luck this time. Check our email to you if we can compensate some through other means. Best our friend.
