[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rajaks:
Install custom recovery like CWM , TWRP etc.. for your device.

In Recovery go to Backup and Restore menu and select Backup.

Has anyone else had the problem of trying to set up Google Now cards and getting the "network error" message? This is happening on cm11 and Wulf ROM. I've tried uninstalling updates to the Google app, signing out and then back in to the Google app. Nothing seems to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T LG G3] xenx:
There were a couple different posts over the last couple days about Google Now not working for different devices. I was having the same issue and found working results. If you haven't found one of them, or otherwise resolved the issue, you need to delete your card preferences in Google Settings. Go into Google Settings, into Now cards, and delete card preferences. You should then be able to activate Google Now.

It has a new Kirin 930 Soc, and this 7.28 mm thick (0.1mm thicker), no word on the weight.

I'm excited!

Did they say anything about price and availability and whether they will offer the 2GB/16GB and/or the 3GB/32GB version?

---------- Post added at 13:25 ---------- Previous post was at 13:05 ----------

I did some digging and this is from the German Huawei websïte:

"Preise und Verfügbarkeit

Das HUAWEI MediaPad X2 LTE ist in der zweiten Jahreshälfte in Deutschland zu einer UVP von EUR 349,- in der Standardversion verfügbar. Die Advanced Version mit mehr Speicher gibt es zur einer UVP von EUR 399,-."

Translation is availability in the second half of the year. RRP of €349,00 for the 2GB/16GB version and €399,00 for the 3GB/32GB version, both presumably including 19% VAT.

The prices are good but to have to wait another 3 or 4 months is not!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Moandal:
Unfortunately not. (It was me that asked Huawei about the X2 via their facebook page and got the answer above).

[Huawei MediaPad X2] katamari201:
Any reason to get this one over the x1? I have seen reviews of the x1 and the processor very laggy especially browsing. Has that changed since the updates? I was wondering if screen quality or camera has improved on x2 even though the specs are still the same.

OK, thanks for the clarity. I could have got it on pre-order cheaper elsewhere.. I guess we wait.

tried to fastboot flash system image with superuser..BUT

appears bootloader locked

I got linux running dual boot, put su in system image, permissions, split into smaller chunks (too big for RAM), and tried to flash but it does not because I think bootloader is locked

oem unlock in fastboot does not work

please see attached screenshot of terminal

looks like they have put up source code? though have no idea what to do with this

we need some dev or someone with skills to step in here

Bootloader can be unlocked. Here is the link http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=3945542

Basically you visit a link, give a code from ur phone and get bootloader unlock passwd. then unlock using adb.

Thought I had looked at something like this but think it did not have x2

I had already got the number needed to input will give it a shot...dload method works as does unpack repack via tool link posted earlier..as I tried and did it..the repacked size of update app was much larger but it worked so my process was OK ..was worried least to say during process....with bootloader unlock can also fastboot altered system image ..Try again today with Su in repack...

Is there any news on the availability of the GEM-701L?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] gideonMorrison:
Is that the one we need in the Netherlands, or will the 702/703 also do?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Flavio:
I've had the international version of the MediaPad X1 and that came pre-installed with all the Google apps and no Chinese Bloatware.

I flashed a couple of Chinese ROM's on it but you have to manually get the Google apps working.

Also the GEM-701L has the correct LTE bands for some of the Dutch providers.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] gideonMorrison:
Yeah, I would need the international version as well, to work with Vodafone or preferably the other ones as well. I'm quite sure it'll be fine, because it's announced on the pricewatch at Tweakers. I found this on their website.

Model: GEM-701L

GSM: band 2/3/5/8

UMTS: band 1/2/5/8

LTE-TDD: band 38/40

LTE-FDD: band 1/3/7/20

Wi-Fi: 2.4 GHz/5GHz

Just asking, but what is your opinion on the X1 display? I have a Z Ultra right now and no idea how they would compare (black/white/sharpness/color accurary)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Flavio:
I've had the Z Ultra as well and I found both displays very good but I must admit that I have not compared them side by side.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] gideonMorrison:
If you had to choose would you take the X1 or the ZU, like a general feeling?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Flavio:
When I had the X1 I found out that I used my iPad a lot less.

The Z Ultra is just a little too small to use as a tablet.

Both devices are too big to use as a phone near your ear but I use the speaker most of the time or I'm in my car.

I don't understand why Huawei positions the X1 and X2 as large phones. A lot of apps are much more comfortable in tablet mode and Huawei should at least offer the user a choice.

As it is now you have to root and use Xposed or change the DPI manually.

So to answer your question, I would choose the X2 over the Z Ultra. I sold the X1 because it was too slow and laggy. The Z Ultra is dirt cheap though, you can get them under €200 in the Netherlands.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] gideonMorrison:
I actually used and still use the ZU as a phablet, best of both worlds, not needing two devices. It has been my daily driver almost a year now and yes it does fit inside my jeans pockets. ;)

I read that yeah, the X1 being laggy as hell, yet it did get quite positive reviews. What kind of worries me is that the new P8 is also laggy at times, which is odd given the power of the Kirin processor.

What DPI would you like it to be instead?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
i have changed the dpi through adb. set it to 180.

problem is landscape orientation navbar buttons disappear. using suspend button as i cannot withstand other dpis.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] djemotion5:
2 obvious issues for me at this point in time :

1) Bluetooth stereo audio streaming is horrible, it cuts off every 2 minutes and gets more frequent the longer you listen

2) OTA system software update fails, so how the hell do you apply an OTA ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] e-motion:
Ok, I figured out how to apply the update without getting in a bootloop and a failed update message. I had to first do a factory reset, so I'm guessing an app must have messed with some system file. Thankfully the update fixes the Bluetooth streaming issue.

Camera quality

Hi X2 owners!

I would like to request if you can upload unedited/unmodified photos (with EXIF) shot by the X2's cameras (front and back). I think it will be very helpful if there are variations on the photos like indoor/outdoor shots, bright/dark scenes for noise comparison. The more, the better!

I'm not sure if photos uploaded here in XDA gets modified/optimized by the webserver and strips off EXIF data like that of Facebook. If that's so, maybe it's better to upload the photos elsewhere.

Thank you in advance! :D

[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
dfsteen..wow great progress...i thought i had repacked it with the su binaries but when i flashed (the update.app) i got the same unrooted rom and did not see any root in the system files-and then i crashed my laptop accidentally installing linux over everything when trying to do a dual boot (keyboard touchpad nonfunctional what not-took me 6 days of persistence to get laptop back to fully working state as the backups were also not working-even stopped to read from the dvd drive so no way to repair/boot/nothing-usb boot was not at all working-after all headaches gone through staying away for now until i know better)..dumb question but you did unlock the bootloader, yes? before flashing? thanks

I had dual boot working initially which is how I got the su injected into the system update.app (virtual stuff never worked for me as could never get the share folders between linux and windows to work despite enabling sharing clipboard, drag drop share etc...oracle and vmware both did not work)..but the dual boot stopped to work and when I tried to install again that is when I crashed the laptop (by then the keyboard also had started to give issues)

anyway, I was going by the update app method instead of fastboot (no unsparsing...just using worstenbrood's tool to break up the update app and repack it..i posted some links in prior messages 2-3 weeks back)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] dfsteen:
So, worstenbroods tool does all the unsparsing etc behind the scenes. However, from reading that thread, it looks like you can't repack a .APP file in a way that the huawei updater will allow you to flash it using his tool. Basically, in order for the huawei updater to accept an update.app file it needs to be signed with the Huawei private key, which he does not have. Are you sure that your flash was successful? There is typically a log file somewhere on the sd card (typically in the dload folder) that will give you some information on that.

I did unlock the bootloader ( sorry, left that out of my instructions above, I added it in now). You have to do that before you can flash partitions with fastboot.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] gideonMorrison:
Can anyone confirm 100% whether the chrome looking trim around the display is either plastic or metal?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
it flashed through much bigger update file (by like 400mb..something to do with compression i guess) but had no su in it (so I may have done something wrong when I put the su into the system (or so I thought)..am a novice anyway at this...goes without saying)

did not have to sparse it...worstenbroods program unpacks the update app into regular images..then load the system image...put su..then repack it using worstenbrood tool...sparsing is for the fastboot as the system file is too big to write into ram with other stuff in there if I am not mistaken (unless you are referring to something else-sorry if I misunderstood)

http://mobilecon.info/rooting-huawe...-superuser.html#sthash.jmFl2nei.9qssIrNp.dpbs
[Huawei MediaPad X2] dfsteen:
correct, worstenbrood, unpacks and unsparses it for you. It then repacks and re-sparses it. I pulled the system image from an UPDATE.APP file as well (the one from the link I posted), which was 1.1G compressed (which is different than the sparsing that goes on).

When you use the update.app method, it is really doing the same thing as the fastboot method. It's just a different software entry point (which does additional checks - thus the issue with the signing key). The instructions in the link you posted from mobilecon are incomplete, and will not work in and of themselves. They do provide a general overview of the process though.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
yes the mobilecon is only part of process..just put it up for the su portion. For now am staying away after the laptop nightmare. Think I got too bold for my own skills-g

That's odd, Huawei is incredibly famous for their good signal reception.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] dlx350:
All versions have 3gig RAM, the difference is the storage capacity and colour. 16GB white/ 32GB gold. It fits perfectly in both front and rear pockets, and I am still able to squeeze in my LG G2.. I noticed that playing audio over Bluetooth headphones has stutters so I sometimes put the device in my pocket with the screen facing away from my body to solve this issue. I guess the metal body has something to do with this...
