I'm glad to hear it works for you :D, but unfortunately it does not work for me. :(

I've been using that app for a couple of weeks (and have had the "Background behavior" : "Use GPS when screen is off", and all other possible settings activated) but it does not stop the gps signal from dropping out on my phone.

I also tried running a "wakelock" app that prevented the phone from shutting off services, but that did not help. Running the wakelock app and the GPS status app seems to keep the signal on for longer, and when it dropped it out it seems to come back again quicker after a few minutes, but the error still occurs sometimes.

I've even tried editing the gps.conf file following instruction from others who say they fixed their GPS drop outs by doing this, but that does not help either.

Luckily I don't use my phone for GPS very often, and it still works fine for a quick check on my location, it's just not stable enough to use for always on driving navigation...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparkrite:
Download stock rom:

http://consumer.huawei.com/it/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=30669

DO NOT extract any file.

Step 1. A MICRO SD card of 2GB or more should be available.

Step 2. Format the MICRO SD card (This operation is optional).

Step 3. Copy the Software: main package file UPDATE.APP to a directory named dload.

Step 4. Copy the entire dload folder (with UPDATE.APP in it) to the root directory of the MICRO SD card.

Step 5. Insert the MICRO SD card into the handset.

Step 6. Power on by holding BOTH volume buttons and power button until phone goes to "force" update.

This will put phone back to factory settings with stock recovery and rom, but bootloader will remain unlocked.

If you follow the above steps EXACTLY, unless there is a hardware fault, it WILL work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KenfaBoy1276:
i Have tried that to holding both the volume buttoms and power buttons dosent work it just keeps rebooting tried to put stock in sd card root with the folder dload and holding the buttoms it dosent goe into forced upgrade just bootloops??

Only thing that works if i hold volume down and power button then it goes into fastboot rescue mode stops bootlooping
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparkrite:
Are you 100% sure that you have the folder "dload" with one file named "update.app" in it, on the root of a working and reliable SD card?

Tried different ones.

Only thing that works i can flash them true fastboot but then again it wont start is there any other recovery image i could try other than ones here there 2 recovery images i have found here tried them both
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparkrite:
Just a little test of the validity of the SD card, have you tried reading back the "update.app" to the PC after you have copied it to the card?

This has happened to me as well and flashing via "fastboot" did not fix it.

The only thing that worked was using the forced update and also I had problems with that, which turned out to be a bad SD card.

Maybe try another SD card if you have one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KenfaBoy1276:
i have to put the sd card in my other phone to copy and read beacuse i cant read the sd card from the y550 and yes the dload folder is still there so there is nothing wrong with the sd card worth mentoning is that usb debugging mode is not enabled if that has anything to say

Could try a different sd card thoe its an old sd card samsung 2 gb maybe its to old for the huawei ??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparkrite:
At this stage anything is worth trying .

Make 100% sure that there is not some silly spelling mistake in naming the file and folder.

Debugging being off has no bearing on this operation.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KenfaBoy1276:
But i will try that dont have any other sd cards home but i can buy i new one tomorrow dont cost much and come back and let you know thanks for the help much appreciated :))

Hi guys.

Nobody responded to my question about mic volume during calls so I assume nobody else is suffering this problem with the Huawei Y550? During calls I can hear the recipient fine but they can barely hear me.

There are no firmware updates for this phone yet but a quick Google reveals many people have had this problem with Huawei phones.

Did you know you can access the engineers menu by calling * # * # 2846579 # * # *

From a vodafone forum they suggested - access the engineer menu by dialling * # * # 2846579 # * # *. The you need to go to 'Project Menu' -> 'Background setting' -> 'Dual Mic Setting' and turn it off

Anyone know any other way to increase the mic volume sensitivity?

Cheers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lin_ux:
The mike volume during calls is fantastic on both of my Y550 phones, in fact it has the clearest sound of any phone I've ever owned. :good:

I have several other Huawei models (ideos, Y201, G300+, G526 etc..) and there has never been a problem with any of them in regard to the mike volume. :D

On another forum there was a person who complained of a similar problem to yours with his Huawei G526 phone, then after a week or so he posted that he had solved the problem, he noticed that he had been holding his phone with his little finger covering the mike. :p

Perhaps you should check the way you hold yours to make sure you are not doing this..?!?

Out of interest have you tried with a headset combo, just to see if it's the inbuilt mic is the issue, ie. Hardware v software
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turkey_shoot:
I had a similar problem. The mic didn't work properly, person on the other end couldn't hear unless talking VERY loudly, and then it would be distorted sound. I took it back and got a replacement under warranty. Phone bootloader unlocked and rooted, but the store didn't bother checking. I just demonstrated the mic didn't work, no questions after that.

Hi everyone gotten so far again, 2nd attempt at rooting, was excited i actually booted up this time. Ok I've unlocked bootloader.... Then i downloaded CWM folder with Fast boot Image file all that in there, Now i can actually do the volume up and power key and get into the recovery. When i navigate to SD Card to try and install super user.zip i end up with this installation aborted :( So close yet so far. What do i do now??..... I'm a Newbie at all this THanks :confused:

followed this

CWR recovery installation

1. Download CWR recovery and extract contents.

2. Connect phone to PC and run the file - install-windows.bat

This will install a CWM boot to your phone and then reboot it

Superuser installation (root)

1. Downloaded Superuser

2. copy superuser.zip to your SD card. Boot into CWM (Volume up and power key) and install zip from SD card and install superuser.zip

Now your phone is rooted and now unlocking should not be problem. Good luck.

i'v unlocked my hi y550 with this method.

1. Download Huawei Product ID Generator

2. Once you have extracted the application, execute it by double clicking the .exe file. When the window appears, select Y300-0000 from the model list, and enter your devices IMEI in the field below the selection box. You can find your device IMEI on the device to Settings > About Phone > Status and your IMEI will be listed.

3. After selecting Y300-0000 and entering your IMEI code, your newly generated product code will be visible in the lower box.

4. Go to the official Huawei bootloader unlock code generator page. Now that we have a product ID, we are able to generate an unlock code quite easily. First of all, select Smartphone for device type, then select Y300-0000 (about halfway down) for the product model. The remaining fields should be fairly straightforward – fill in your IMEI and serial number (look on sticker under battery). Once all fields have been filled, complete the CAPTCHA at the bottom of the field and click ‘submit’. If everything has been completed successfully, you will now be in possession of your unlock code.

5. Now boot your phone in fastboot mode (volume down + power) and through ADB enter command 'fastboot oem unlock YOURUNLOCKCODE' . If everything works correctly, you will be given a message in the command prompt, and the phone bootloader screen will now stated ‘PHONE Unlocked.’ Congratulations! You now have an unlocked bootloader.

Its possible that Huawei may release 5.x eventually for this phone, theyve released two phones since with the same chipsets and gpu, so its possible.
