[Huawei MediaPad X2] AlexRnB89:
You guys saw the Huawei P8 Max (6,8'')?

the specs are quite better than the mediapad x2 and it looks very noble because of 94% metal-to-body.

But the price is damn high (around 750$ for 64 GB).

I'm still waiting for the mediapad x2 32GB... honormi.com doesn't know the release date.

So I'm think of buying the P8 Max, since the release date for the 64GB is next week.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Nirak:
R u sure bout the release date AlexRnB89? Thought the P8 release in Europe was next week and the Max end of May
[Huawei MediaPad X2] grillete:
Quite better? I saw it quite similar... but price is much more high. IMO, the difference in HW doesn't match with the increasing on price.

Greetings!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] AlexRnB89:
I asked Honormi.com on facebook and got this:

my question:

"Hello again,

I saw Huawei released the P8 max.

Is the Huawei P8 max already in stock and ready to be delivered from you? Does it work with O2 in germany?

Thank you!"

Answer:

"P8 max will be release on the market in 23th,April .so for now ,we only accepte pre-order for p8 max now ,we will get stock 1-2days after 23th,April. The p8 max support O2 in Germany. Pls kindly note,Thanks"

Check this comparison of P8 max and mediapad x2:

devicespecifications.com/en/comparison/8c872b2c8 (I can't post links till 10 posts, so no direct link)

But you're right, the difference in HW and increasing on price doesn't match well..

BUT the P8 max feels and looks so noble and extravagant (especially the rear) because of the nice metal body.

The mediapad x2 looks so much cheaper with that aluminium body than the P8 max...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
By the way did you notice the phone you recieved is same one honormi opened and showed in unboxing review. See S/N no. and IMEI no.

I would like to know whether the MediaPad X2 support Hover Gesture like the previous X1 or not.

X1 uses Cypress True Touch Gen5 TMA568 controller (http://investors.cypress.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=870747) which has the hover function and gloved finger tracking.

Does X2 use the same touch controller?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
It has the gloves mode:

Hello wondering if anyone is here on the board using the 703-L (China version Honor X2)? (question about network..what network compatibility..understand no LTE but are you getting like 3.5G hspa+?...especially interested in AT&T) Thanks!

EDIT also how is the call quality? (regular earpiece phone calling) thanks
[Huawei MediaPad X2] namobe13:
Hi I am new to the forum. I am Spanish, so apologies for my English. I am using a translator.

Today I got my Huawei Mediapad x2 bought honormi. The order did on Thursday and I arrived Tuesday.

I have some questions that I go asking me as they arise.

-The First is as you have done for all google applications well (google play store, google services) function etc. I installed google play store but it gives me error when downloading any application. I also do not appear to synchronize contacts.

-Habeis Able to root the phone? And as you have done.

Greetings to all and thanks for your early response.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] dfsteen:
I've actually done a lot of research on this, and, reportedly, T-mobile and AT&T will work with HSPA+ in most areas. Check this page out for specifics:

www dot willmyphonework dot net

As far as LTE goes, it turns out that Sprint is rolling out LTE on band 41 (2500MHZ) in most of the country. This band is supported by the device for TDD-LTE - the type of LTE sprint is building out! Now, since this is a dual SIM card device, you can get two different SIMs, one from AT&T for 2G/3G, and one from Sprint for 4G. But it gets better.

It turns out that Ting (ting.com), is a reseller for both T-Mobile and Sprint, and the way their billing works you can get SIM cards for both services, and have them both pull from the same pool of minutes/texts/data. So if you get two SIM cards, one for the Sprint network and one for the T-mobile network, and use Ting, you can wind up with full 2G, 3G, 4G for this device in the US, from a single carrier (well reseller, but it's all one bill).

There are a few caveats to this (of course):

1) Ting tells me that while this device *should* be able to be used on the Sprint network, sprint is sometimes funny about things like this, and there are sometimes difficulties.

2) While the device supports the 1900MHZ frequency, which is used by 2G/3G for T-mobile, it is only one of the frequencies they use for 2G/3G, so you are likely to see more dropped calls or connectivity issues than you might otherwise. It really depends on your location

3) The 1900MHZ band used by T-Mobile for 3G has been refarmed from 2G, and will only work in areas where this has been completed. This should be most areas according to T-mobile.

4) The willmyphonework site, mentioned above, shows Ting as only supporting 2G, but T-mobile as supporting both 2G and 3G. This is a mistake. Ting is a reseller of T-mobile, so whatever T-mobile supports Ting will support.

But really, all the above is only as good as the information I was able to gather. Ultimately, the only real way to know for sure just how well it will work is for someone to get one of these and try it. I am planning on doing that, but I'm going to wait until a reputable seller has the X2 available.

-Dan
[Huawei MediaPad X2] dazdeeuk:
Yes
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Sanxion:
So...you have an X2 - you are with Three (UK) - and when you browse the Internet, you do not received the message "your data plan was not designed for a tablet etc...?

Where did you buy it from?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
Simply, You can manually install Google Play, Contact sync, Calendar Sync apps (search on websites).

I did so and everything works well.

Till now X2 cannot be rooted.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
Hello poloplatinum

Can you report on your experience so far with the x2 about 2 things: 1) 3g/4g (or 3.5g) connection (which carrier are you on) and 2) call quality when using as regular phone (hold device to ear/face for talking..no headphones and no Bluetooth)?

It appears so far that you are the only user of this device (on this board) in the USA. Dfsteen did a great response to my question but he too like myself does not have the device yet. Thanks !!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
Hi, I bought one Honor X2 soon (may be the first in Vietnam) from honormi.com.

My carrier is Viettel which has 3G with perfect connection. I use it for daily cell phone (hold device to ear/face for talking, no headphones and no Bluetooth) with no problem, call voice is very good.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
Thanks yuhongduong...now maybe poloplatinum will have an answer to the question on bands/frequency connections in the USA. Thanks for confirming about call quality!

[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
Just got mine

Just got my Mediapad x2 last night and got it (almost) all set up.

Most things went smoothly, now that I know how to set it up since I had the X1. A couple of kinks though

1.) Google Play music doesn't find the account. If i try to add the account it says it already exists. I use google play music daily so I need this fixed. Edit: Just flip the phone in landscape orientation (then the account shows up just fine)

2.) Jango radio crashes when starting to play. This is not a big deal since Jango was always buggy as all heck.

3.) No LTE in the USA. I was fully expecting this since I knew beforehand it didn't do the same bands. So far I get T-Mobile 3.5G on their refarmed network and some 2G, which I can live with I suppose.

4.) I haven't rooted yet. Should I bother?

Also just to clarify the model I got was the silver 16GB ROM 3GB RAM LTE one (they DO exist).
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Sanxion:
Has anybody bought the 32GB version yet?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] poloplatinum:
great so far

Hello Mac, I have excellent call quality with T-Mobile 3g in my area. 4g lte don't work but I can't really tell a difference when browsing the web or watching videos!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
thanks poloplatinum...so it gets hspa+ yes?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
it gets HSDPA+ (3.5G) on the T-Mobile network using their refarmed network (I believe on 1900 Mhz), as well as edge (2G) when 3G not available or in a weak signal spot.

I do not know if it would do the same for AT&T but they are thieves anyways so I'd never use them myself :D :)

Hope that helps.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] aznviethomie:
Is there root available yet for this device?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] dfsteen:
Are you able to get activated on the sprint network? There are EMIE checkers on the web that will let you know if it will work. Would you be willing to check it here:

ting.com/byod

If you can, then you can (probably) get LTE that way.

One other question, I was wondering if you got the default ROM from huawei, or if you got a "custom" ROM that some of the 3rd party vendors are offering. If you got the default ROM, did it come with English as a language option? Are there any apps that don't have English at all?

Thanks!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
When you logged in Google Play with your gmail account and Installed Contacts Sync and Calendar Sync then your contacts and calendar would automatically sync with your gmail account.

You can see and manually sync contacts and calendar as follow steps (on the phone): CONTACTS ->MANU -> ACCOUNTS -> YOUR GMAIL ACCOUNT - Sync now.

AWESOME so far!...has all my favorite mods built in...rec..auto data on off for mms...great sound call quality...smooth...flawless display...even a nav bar button to pull down notifications...screenshot in notifications (now if can get Oppo type swipe down 2 fingers for screenshot that would be icing on the cake) (and knock to wakeup/unlock but that would be a stretch at this point)..has led notification

Am on AT&T

128gb microsd running no issues...

hardly gets warm..

looking for huawei themes (see only 3..maybe need to register?)...ui layout and functionality (even the look) very reminiscent of Lenovo K900 and Oppo find 7

of course rooting is another..will see what (might) work..
[Huawei MediaPad X2] dfsteen:
Thats great! Did you have them do the "English Setting For Free" option?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
No I did not check any options..the phone was factory sealed in the shrink wrap with seal sticker...no issues...after inserting SIM..it went to English right away...hardly or no Chinese apps..only thing is the keyboard (Pinyin) which is no big deal..changed to lollipop keyboard (would like to force the enter key instead of emoji button but need root for that)

got Gplay, exchange email, yahoo email, some select apps etc all running

youtube runs no issues

sms mms call rec speaker wifi internet all running

even restored some mms sms call logs that I keep from time to time

contacts I alwasy store locally..so just read the vcard file

only remaining is root

[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
Am in Michigan, Detroit area..when you mean connectivity are you asking about the signal strength or the APNs...it did it all once SIM was in...I went and checked the APN sure enough it had the right one...it shows 3g,..if I turn data on..the H+ indicator comes on..even received mms when data was off (the auto data on off for mms feature as in K900 Lenovo, miui and now even cm12 and cm12.1...just that here they do not ask you if you want to have that feature turned on or off...no issue for me either way) (tried it first sending one to myself and then received one from a friend too when data was off)..looking for a way to change the font but seems need root for that..no biggie

only Chinese Mandarin I see is on lock screen right at the bottom below the time which is in English/Latin (set up dual times too..awesome device I must say so far)
