No its not. I was listening to my music and the sound quality was very low and I have those original noise cancelling sony head phones MDR_NC3IE.

Charged my phone with 2amp battery for more than a week... My battery is still working fine... Only thing I noticed is, I felt a small electric shock when I kept the phone to my ear... This did not happen in original charger that are in box...

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VanshKhanna:
You should never attend a call while charging and you should never touch your phone to you ear while charging

Many people died within last 2 years because of this...

And you should attend phone calls with left ear as it takes less radiations than the right ear

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] er.jaldip:
Yes it will increase charging speed.

But the battery life cycle will be affected,

So my recommendation is not to charge with any other charger.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieliop:
When I'm far from home I carry my Samsung charger, as it gives away 1Amp. But when I'm home I always use my Moto's.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Coroff:
My grandfather got me this tablet for my birthday earlier this year in April. I have already taken advantage of the warranty once, because the headphone jack broke and a cable for the screen got unplugged. When i got the tablet back, it said that they factory reset the tablet because they found 3rd party software on it. I didn't, it was running the stock software, the closest thing to a modification on there was a few apps that didn't work because they required root. Does this mean that, if I screwed up and bricked my tablet while trying to install CM, i could just send it in and they'll wipe it for me? I have a Best Buy warranty, and its a SM-T520/Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] crpalmer:
One of the first things the CM says is that it voids your warranty...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] wimmetje:
Android Authority just released there video review of the Mate 7, while they do decent reviews in a realistic way it says a lot when they gave him a "EDITOR'S CHOICE"

Nice review, this is gonna make it harder for me to choice which device i go for in 2 months from now. (Nexus 6, Note4, Mate 7)

[YOUTUBE]MsBQHQc70aU[/YOUTUBE]
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Sammath:
Its a good review indeed and I'm pretty much on the same boat as you :p word er gek van!

The specs aren't that great compared to the note 4/nexus 6 tho.

The thing that I do like is the battery size.

I'm concerned about the software updates tho, Huawei doesn't have a good track record of that.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] vince_junior:
Yes. That announcement in the US for non-upgrade of mate 2 is disappointing.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] wimmetje:
The specs are indeed not comparable with the Note 4 and the Nexus 6, but it comes very close to them (especially when you keep in mind it is 200$/euro cheaper) and in normal day to day usage you wouldn't notice the difference anyway because in speed, screen quality the difference is to small to notice. (If you dont compare them everyday:p)

But also my major concern of the Mate 7 is the official update support and rom development, because when i buy a new phone/renewal contract i keep the phone for 2 years.

And if they do the same trick as they did with the "Mate 2" it would be very disappointing, an update support for 24 months on a new device (Mate 7) would be in place if they want to compete against Samsung and Apple.

And second it comes to custom rom development....when do not update the phone in a proper way (or not what i had in mind) i want to be able to flash custom roms, and while there is ROM development on different Chinese forums, i am a bit skeptical if there going to be enough development on this XDA forum.

And i have not enough free time (Father, 3 kids ;)) that i can make my own roms they way i did in the past on my galaxy S1.

This is my vision at the moment.

I have not decided yet, my renewal is on the first week of januari 2015 so i have almost 2 months to look where the Mate 7 development is going to;)
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Sammath:
Well, the review said it's 700 dollars. That ain't cheaper than a nexus 6. Pretty expensive for the hardware you get imo.

I'm still undecided, depends if the 3gb 32 gig version comes to The Netherlands.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] getmobilephone:
The premium version will not come to Holland.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Sammath:
Okay, Huawei will not get my money then :D
[Ascend Mate 7 General] wimmetje:
499 euro in the netherlands for the 2gb/16gb version and 549 euro for the 3gb/32gb version, see link below

Note 4 is 700 euro and Nexus should be around (guessing) 650 euro?

The 3 versions in dutch webshop

So yeah, the price difference isn't that much (200-300euro) if you keep in mind that i use the phone 2 years.

So i hope that the mediamarkt or another phone shop is getting the Huawei on stock so i can see and try it out in my own eyes and hands :laugh:
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ipmanwck:
Phonearena just did a comparison. I am disappointed with the camera tbh and was hoping for better quality but this is an area huawei are quite weak.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Sammath:
Thats a nice price for the 3gb version. Hopefully it will become available then. I'm not downgrading to a 2gb version, my note 3 has 3gigs of ram and it's always full.

Btw, on that site the nexus 6 32gb is listed as cheaper at 449 euro.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] wimmetje:
Wow I didn't see that price of the nexus 6:eek:
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Bond@007:
Good prize for the Gold in 3 Go of ram and 32 Go of memory but not in stock ... it's a real dual sim or only european 1 sim ?

What's happening with the warranty on this site and full compatible in Belgium with Base, Mobistar or Proximus ?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] dekraan:
Hi all, and especially the Dutch posting here :highfive:

I've been considering this phone ever since I heard about it. I've got big hands and love the wideness of the Note 3. Most phones are long, but slim. The Mate7 is even a little bit wider, and has smaller bezels. Sounds perfect! That it doesn't have the best hardware doesn't bother me that much, if the batterylife is half of what it seems to be.

Has anyone gotten their hands on one of the Mate7's, preferably with 3GB RAM, and know how it's batterylife is doing? And if in Europe, where did you order yours? What would be a good shop?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] getmobilephone:
The battery life is awesome, 4100 mHa! You can order the international version at Amazon DE France, for 2 GB RAM L09 version. We have sold units 3 GB RAM TL10 version to Holland and it works perfectly there.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] dekraan:
Thanks for your reply! Do you know when the black 3GB version will be released? The gold doesn't really appeal to me. The live chat at liaow told me it could take a couple of weeks.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] getmobilephone:
Our HUAWEI lady said not in a month or so. The silver version is running as limited production now. Really, the Gold looks very nice in hands, confirmed by several forum members (who also are our customers:D).

The Gold version is also OOS and the situation will last till Mid December. In this month, HUAWEI will deliver 1.4 M units to China Mobile, China TeleCom, and China UniCom. So the premium version, 3 GB ROM 32 GB RAM version, will be limited manufactured.

Is there any modification we can make that will allow the top speaker to work with music and videos aswell?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Doubtful. It's not a loudspeaker. If a simple mod would turn it into one, surely Motorola just would have made it that way from the start.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
It's not a speaker. It's just a grille covering the ear piece to give the phone symmetry.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Audioboxer:
The speaker is really loud anyway, much better than the Nexus 5.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamespat93:
Thanks for the replies guys, the speaker is amazing but just wished that this phone could have stereo sound. I just can't believe that the 2nd gen moto g does and this doesn't. Don't know if it's just me but I can really notice hearing audio more from one ear while watching things or playing games.

[XDA Assist] ashes7:
Hi,

I purchased a Huawei Ascend G700 smartphone in August 2014.

(Great phone by the way)

I installed an app from Google Play Store called "Ultimate Volume Booster" (The forum currently prevents me from posting the play store link in the thread).

This app seems to have totally reduced the "speaker volume" and now I can barely hear anything from the speaker.

The headset volume is unchanged, but the speaker volume is greatly reduced to the point that I can hear 'whispers" when I hold the phone speaker near my ear on full volume!

(I have un-installed the app now.)

Solutions Tried:

============

1. Some forums spoke about using Mobile Uncle and I did so, but since my phone is unrooted, I could not change the 'Audio Values' in Engineering Mode using Mobile Uncle or any other MTK related Engineering Mode App from Google Play Store.

2. I re-installed the same app - "Ultimate Volume Booster" thinking maybe it would reset the changes it made , but this not work either :(

Can you please let me know how I can revert the process and bring back the speaker volume back to it's original state.

Note: I believe my phone is unrooted.

Warm Regards,

Ashes7

My brother has a sensation xe, it was dropped and after that back camera stopped working( giving an error message " failed to start Camera", also the front camera was working in mirror application but was not giving any picture.

we assumed that both camera are on the same data bus line. so we opened the device and removed the back camera and turned on the device ( sensation xe ), after that front camera started working properly, now we are thinking about getting a new camera and plug it in.

But there is another thing in our mind that may be there is something wrong with data bus ? or the main cause was only Back camera.

If any one has replaced the camera, please advise if it will fix the problem.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smitharro:
Unlike me (I'm already rooted), it's possibly better to wait rooting your phone until your lollipop update is on your Phone. Undoubtedly after that many people wil succeed in rooting lollipop (also on the Moto G 2014).

I think it's not impossible that I'll have to unroot, unlock the bootloader and restore stock recovery before I can update...

Hi, so I installed franco kernel on my nexus 7 2013 LTE and it messed it up. Got it stuck on boot loop. Unfortunately I didn’t do a backup. So now I can’t restore. The worst thing is my laptop doesn’t recognize it when I take it to bootloader mode or recovery. I reformatted it from recovery so I think I lost root but I can still access the bootloader and recovery. Will appreciate suggestions on how to go about this. :)

Do you have the correct drivers installed? If so, try removing them and re-installing. There's plenty of info to be found on XDA and the rest of the web on how to do that.

You can also try:

-another USB port on your laptop

-change your USB cable (you'd be surprised on how often this works)

-use another computer
