In x2 it seems we can. Its giving me OTA push for 013. not doing update for fear of loosing root or screwing system.

They have some registration forms which allows you to get early push. Other will get in next few days. maybe 1-2 weeks.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
Hmm..I do not see the update upon checking for it.

Another thing..anyone see accessibility getting turned off for user apps (maybe over time or after a reboot) for which you may have turned accessibility on? Thanks
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Hi

Where do we find those registration forms?

Thanks....
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
It will be posted in Huawei chinese forum(http://cn.club.vmall.com/thread-4642073-1-1.html) whenever they are about to release next OTA. It will be in top posts.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] melvinator:
My problem seems to be that i install Google play store then out of nowhere it becomes inactive. consequently i am not able to use any of my apps. I have to go back to app manager disable play store, clear data and uninstall then reinstall in the Chinese app store then resign in and all my apps work again.

Any idea why this is happening?

I already reformatted and wiped cache and installed everything from scratch.

thanks!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
No such issues.. Having done this 3 times already..maybe the particular apks you are using...check protected apps and permissions.. Cannot post the apks I am using from here but perhaps later in the day
[Huawei MediaPad X2] melvinator:
Just wen to app permission manager and put give all permission to this app... lets see what happens... it kind of happens out of nowhere...

Have you read this? do you know if this is true? I have had so many problems with this build i wouldn't mind looking elsewhere.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ice0901:
I had that problem with the playstore apk for the Huawei app store.. I recommend not using their apk and get one from xda or another source. That solved my problem.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mixterz:
My Google account kept disappearing . how I fixed it was , clear cache and data from framework, Google services and Google playstore. Reboot . add your Google account again then disable sync. In account menu .
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:

I am waiting for the mediapad international version, I think a lot of current bugs would be solved with it. Currently in Europe but got this from Huawei Singapore:

"Hi,

Thank you for your interest in our Huawei Mediapad X2.

The launch for our Huawei Mediapad X2 is tentatively scheduled for July this year. Do stay tuned to our Huawei Singapore Facebook Page for the latest updates.

Regards,

Huawei Singapore"

So I hope it will launch here too in that timeframe. Anyone else think it is better to wait or just get the Honor X2?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
Bugs as in???...the bugs if one calls them are minor IMO and to be expected with any new release...am sure international version will have its own share of bugs as well...what is (only) worth waiting for in international version is a wider range of frequencies..but not by much...the x1 folks I think managed to flash international ROM and modem too onto the China version so maybe the same for x2? Maybe frequency range exists but limited by software...anyone confirm or otherwise? Recall posting about this a while back
[Huawei MediaPad X2] melvinator:
I live in the Tampa bay area and i have near zero issues with calling texting and data (even thought slow at times). Yesterday i had a business trip which was around 3 hours away to Orlando and was using GPS. It was a nightmare... I couldn't make calls data wasn't working and GPS at one point just stopped working leaving me stranded. For some reason email isnt working either i have to manually update the inbox which is a pain when you are running a business.

Thankfully i had my note 3 in the glove compartment so was able to get everything working again.

I honestly feel this device is awesome hardware wise but has some serious software issues. Cant count the days till someone get this on Cyanogenmod with flashed radio bands.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] gideonMorrison:
This, I will be holding out until July then.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
no issues on AT&T in Michigan here...push email on exchange email works well as it should
[Huawei MediaPad X2] melvinator:
Well here is a new one.

Deleted play store, reinstalled correct ones. Cleared cache and loaded play store again.

Now getting this error when trying to update or install any apps.[

One thing after another with this thing.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
I was facing this issue and that playstore services stopping for whole day yesterday. Here is how i fixed it(may be)

First completely remove existing google play services(system app) by using some root app manager(maybe Rom toolbox lite). Reboot and install http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ices-7-5-74-1997312-440-android-apk-download/

Now since playstore services is in user space, goto permissions make it trusted app, and keep it on in protected and startup apps(in settings)

Install latest version of play store(from apkmirror) and install all other apps from play store.

Lets see if this has actually fixed problem for me, Not faced any problem since yesterday afternoon, but we never know.

Make sure to install playstore services apk ending with name (4-7)40

Also I have this error in Play Store and help me only logoff and logon again my google account! No uninstall and re-install Play Store... ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
The Mediapad X1 ROMs came with native google services, and did simplify any of this issue when installed on Honor X1. Unfortunatly, international X1 ROMs were less supproted (didn't reach the EMUI3.0 + per app dpi settings step, unlike chinese ROMs)

But indeed the hardware modem are different, so you'll ever miss some frequencies using an HONOR X1 (chinese versions) instead of a MEDIAPAD X1 (international version). I guess that'll be the same with X2
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
wondering if doing factory reset would help and then installing factory rom from dload folder (no need for bootloader unlock or root for that)...but maybe factory reset? just a suggestion (factory reset does wonders like on Windows Nokia 635 for a relative...would not connect to wifi..phone and carrier was from overseas...wifi suddenly stopped working..tried everything for 2-3 hrs changing sim card to local one etc..finally factory reset did it)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] melvinator:
I followed your advice step by step. the only thing was I cannot find Google services under the permission app to get access as you had mentioned. Also ROM tolbox would not uninstall Google services had to do uninstall update through app manager. Tried updating some apps abs same error.

Do you have root access?

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

Are you saying to factory reset then reinstall 5.0 from recovery?

Not sure how or if that's possible.

Any suggestions help.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
EDITED...

factory reset last resort...but since folks are having some problems am suggesting that...if that does not work then only reinstall rom...i would just do factory reset first then install the apks I gave (one was from link but version was there in link don't go for some other version even if latest-just posted what worked/continues to work for me...no you do not need root for gplay)

you may try ones i posted (twice)

I did not even have to anything special for the permissions (have done this more than once having done the reset format when I heard maybe all of the internal storage was not being shown-though after reset format it still showed similar in my case (going from memory) and it was ok..consuming about 4g or so for rom etc...normal as compared to samsung tab pro t325)

I also downloaded and tried (using one of them) two miui themes (hwt files place in huawei themes folder) from the huawei x2 forums (sadly cannot find more..there is a flyme and a colorful theme but they are of even less interest to me)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] melvinator:
OK so uninstalled play services and Google play store then cleared cache then went into manage space tab and hit clear all data.

I noticed the number on the original play service 448. So installed

7.5.74 (1997312-448

Instead of 470.

Then installed play store and now apps are updating without a error. Will report back if this doesn't end up working again.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
Yes i have root. 448 will work till is for 480 dpi, if u change dpi, it will be screwed.

440 works for universal dpi. i have 170 dpi.

When i was having this problem, i tried factory reset, re-install 012 but it again came back in few hours.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] melvinator:
Do you know if people are having this many issues over in China with the device software?

Was reading some of the posts in the link you provided it's a little criptec to read lol.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
So after going fine for 2 days again today morning i found google play services had stoppee. spwnd half day fixing it. its getting really frustating.

Is anyone else facing this issue of play services stopping in few days again and again.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] cashif:
Am able to install apps but just not able to restore data. On top of that, Launcher as well as lockscreen keeps reverting back to EMUI one, which I hate and even the Android wear permission keeps getting resetted. Regretting for going for this Chinese version and I hope someone comes up with CM12 ROMS to get rid of these chinese bloatware (Earlier had Ascend Mate and never faced these kind of issues)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] melvinator:
I am 27 or so hours without Google play store issues. Like my earlier post I installed 448 version. Have you trued this?

---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

Are you using something like Nova launcher?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] cashif:
Yes, I am using Nova Launcher and yes again to Play Services version 448.

As I mentioned, everything related to Google-Contacts, Calendar, Fit etc are working fine except for data of apps not being restored.

I have now been able to 'FIX' Nova as default by denying permission to EMUI Launcher but still have issues with Lockscreen. And Android wear is still a problem as it keeps losing its Notification Access/permission.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ice0901:
Unfortunately the only fix for Android wear notifications is to disable the lock screen
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Jet_Life:
Hey I was wondering if someone could post a link to the model that supports Cricket Wireless (AT&T) in the United States.

Also is there an "install" option to download Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas from the Play Store?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] melvinator:
Well it happened around 42 hours had the same problem. Google play was not responsive had to uninstall and reinstall.

siiiiiggghhh.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Jet_Life:
Google Play doesn't work well on both Chinese and International versions?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ice0901:
I've had the honor x2 for 10 days and I haven't had one Google play store or services error. Don't spread untrue rumors

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

GTA San Andreas works flawlessly on max settings. I can't comment on AT&T but I'm using T-Mobile on the east coast and I'm getting hspa+ for the most part .
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Jet_Life:
I'm not spreading rumors =p I just seen a few post regarding Google Play/services errors. Last Q - Did yours come with Google Play preinstalled and are you using the gem-703l model?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ice0901:
It didn't come pre-installed. I downloaded a playstore apk from the Android Authority. Haven't had any issues with it
[Huawei MediaPad X2] dfsteen:
To those having issues with google accounts "deactivating" themselves - do you use google "2 step verification"? I found that I had that problem when I turned on google "2 step verification" and then it went away when I turned it off. I've had this device for more than a month, and have been really, really happy with it!

I did find that, when going from one region to anther (in the US), I sometimes had connectivity issues for data. The basic pattern I have seen is that if a "normal" phone would download updated SMS/MMS data from the carrier (you get a little notification when that happens), then the mediapad will have issues. It probably is just missing something that it needs to get those automated updates in the US.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Chinese Honor X2 (GEM-703L) is the only model released so far. International Mediapad X2 (GEM-701L, GEM-702L) is scheduled for july 2015.

Huawei Honor chineses devices come without native google services. They have to be installed (including their sync).
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ice0901:
I dont think that's it, I haven't had any issues with 2 step authentication. It has to be the playstore version that's causing issues
[Huawei MediaPad X2] cashif:
Google Play services were pre-installed in my Tab and I guess my seller (Ali express) installed it before shipping including the sync adaptors. For me no major issues except data of apps does not sync.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mixterz:
Happening again . find once the screen comes out of idle my Google account is missing. sick of this now
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ice0901:
For everyone with play services/store issues I'll link you to the version I downloaded If it doesn't fix your problem I recommend a factory reset and then install from this link http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...google-play-store-5-6-8-android-apk-download/

[Huawei MediaPad X2] Slater91:
Hi there, I've looked for the issue throughout the thread but I found no clue of it. I'm experiencing a rather annoying bug which consists of apps getting killed by the system even if I set them as protected apps. Does anyone know if there is a solution to this particularly nasty annoyance?

By the way, I just updated to version B013 but the problem seems to persist in its annoying existence.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ice0901:
I updated to b013 hoping that would be fixed. I notice a new option in power saving for "screen off". I'm testing now.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] cashif:
Does updating to B013 affect Root coz i read in Chinese forum that rooting impacts sound/call?? (From Google translation)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ice0901:
B013 fixed the issue with Android Wear losing notification permissions with the lock screen enabled
[Huawei MediaPad X2] melvinator:
Also I have not been booted out of playstore in over 48 hours!!!!! And my push notifications are 70% better.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
does anyone know if factory reset removes root and/or relocks bootloader? (should know but somehow having a tough time recalling) thanks
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
Bootloader unlock is maintained. I did factory reset few times when i was hit by google play services issue.

Forgot about root thing actually.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] cashif:
Nope, you dont lose root as I did it only yesterday. After unlocking bootloader and rooting, did factory reset to install Google services as I had syncing problem and now everything is working fine.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
can you post the apks you used for gplay ...was it just play store and play services? thanks
[Huawei MediaPad X2] cashif:

[Huawei MediaPad X2] mixterz:
Since unlocking the bootloader I cannot play any video online or through YouTube or other sources by app or online. Facebook video stops aswell . downloaded stuff works OK.

Tried wiping the phone from recovery , clearing the cache too.

tried different play stores, Google services also.

Any idea what to do ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
Maybe it is a permissions issue..security ?...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mixterz:
one thing after another with this phone.

have all the google apps full permission along with every other app, no joy

tried everything at this stage .

zero fixes online

as i said its not just youtube its every video source app and broswers

going to see if i can remove the root see if thats the issue.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] cashif:
Just tried youtube and videos are playing flawlessly. Have you tried giving permission in Dropzone management? (Phone manager>Dropzone Management in 2nd page) .

I had Lockscreen (CM Locker), Nova Launcher and All-in-one-Gestures getting killed automatically despite giving permission and enabling Accessibility but only after enabling in Dropzone management did they start working properly. So, give permission in Dropzone management and revert with feedback.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mixterz:
thanks for the reply

wish i waited to try your idea .

i tried kingo pc app to try unroot the phone which seemed to work as it said.

upon restart it now is stuck on boot logo.

dont think theres a way to get out of this as we dont have custom recovery .

data/cache wipe do nothing

found our roms online can it be sideloaded via adb ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] cashif:
There is TWRP recovery available but is apparently in Chinese, you can try wiping cache from in there..

[Huawei MediaPad X2] mixterz:
ok so i ended up with the Chinese recovery installed

just need a translation
[Huawei MediaPad X2] caleb_dm:
International Version

Does anyone have any information on the international versions's release date.

At the moment the Honor X2 won't work with the 4G in my country but I am getting so tired of waiting.

If its not July, I might opt for the P8Max. Stuck with an S3 mini in the meanwhile (ahhh, the irony).

Any knew info will be appreciated :D
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bigphabletlover:
I think someone asked on the huawei Facebook page and the international mediapad x2 releases sometime this month. If I were you I would wait, I considered the p8 max too but decided to get the honor x2 cause of bigger screen.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mixterz:
still bricked

with the Chinese recovery im able to get to sideload via adb

but upon trying to flash

GEM-703L_V100R001C233B012.zip

i keep getting Signature Verification Failed

not sure what else to do

tried doing the via sdcard dload folder with the UPDATE.APP in it

let it boot nothing happens

any ideas ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mixterz:
update guys

managed to fix the phone with the help of a post by 'zertux'

'Bricked huawei Mediapad 7 X1' forum on xda

downloaded and extracted the rom

used huawei update extractor to extract the boot and system img

flashed via adb

fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img

fastboot flash boot BOOT.img

rebooted

fixed.

Cypress True Touch

I saw it mentioned earlier in the thread when someone asked if the mediapad x2 has true touch glove and hover functions? I was researching the true touch technology and came across this video with the assumed included hardware. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkOgJdj2z_M

If this is the case then the x1 as well as the x2 should have passive 2mm stylus support with palm rejection. This would be great for me as im replacing my note phone. I know there wont be pressure but this is a nice touch if it works. Can anyone confirm? Also is it safe to assume the honor x2 also has the same hardware? Im really close to ordering the honor x2 and would like to order it tonight but dont want to get it and find out it has minor variations like the exclusion of the true touch hardware. So I guess my questions are:

Are the honor and mediapad models the exact same aside from branding?

Does anyone know if the mediapad/honor x1 or x2 can use a stylus?

Are you guys happy with the phone so far?

I havent been able to find the mediapad for order.

Thanks for your time.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mixterz:
I'll try a touch stylus when I get home later today.

Honor is just the European market name I'd say.

Since the latest update I can't watch any online sourced video .

YouTube fb , browsers etc don't work.

Even using puffin browser it plays but has no sound.

Turns out its a major bug with lollipop that Google haven't addressed yet.

I'm pretty angry with this issue right now.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Bayshane:
Damn thats a pretty big deal breaker as I would be using it for media consumption while traveling.

As for the stylus, i guess it can use as small as 1mm tipped as long as there is metal or some type of conductivity.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ice0901:
I recommend downgrading back to b012 and trying the upgrade again. I have no issues with with audio on the web running b013
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mixterz:
When I go to do the local update it reverts back to the Chinese recovery once the phone restarts. Anyway to remove the recovery ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mixterz:
ok so finally fixed my device.

turns out it was corrupted when i used the 012 root method to root the 013 update

only way to fix it was to reflash 012 thew update to 013

DONT ROOT 013, IT WILL WORK BUT MESS UP YOUR DEVICE

thanks ice0901
[Huawei MediaPad X2] fatboy1234:
Can anyone tell me if the cases and flip covers that I have for the X1 will be interchangeable with the X2? are the dimensions and button layout all exactly the same between the X1 and the X2?

Thanks in advance.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Flavio:
I am pretty sure the dimensions are the same but the power and volume buttons are placed differently on the X2.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] fatboy1234:
Thanks very much for the answer, I suppose I'll just get the hobby knife out than :o
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Flavio:
Of course I haven't tested the X2 but the X2's Kirin 930 SOC is a step up from the Kirin 925 SOC that is used in the Huawei Ascend Mate7 and that has been tested as a very fast device.

I sold my X1 because it was too laggy but I am going to buy the X2 as soon as it's available.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] katamari201:
There is video on youtube showing x1 after kitkat update. Chrome browser like night and day. No lag or stutter compared to jelly bean. I dont know how true this is though so would like other users to chime in. I dont need the fastest processor. If it is just a cpu bump and everything else the same with the x2 it is not really worth it to me to have to pay more and wait til next month for release.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
Mediapad x2 has antutu score of 50k+ while X1 was in range of 22-25k
[Huawei MediaPad X2] katamari201:
