Can you tell me few things if u have 312 installed on your device

1. Are there lollipop default animations improved from 4.4.2? are they like on nexus/galaxy devices animated 60 fps? ( i mean entering applications,menu,... etc)

2.Is there Card view on multitasking button? ( like stock lollipop and other manufacturers have)

3. Is battery good as it is on 4.4.2? I have no problems having 8 hours screen on time (with WIFI network ON)

4.Are there new themes like on P8?

4.Can u test new night camera mode and send us few screenshots?

I hope they will release OTA lollipop in august like they said , there are few bugs left to fix! Hope 5.1.1 rules! :)

to the users who updated to b312

to the users who updated to b312 from b 141

do you have this function on you now?

1) Able to hide the navigation buttons?

2) double tap, flick, draw on motion control?

3) Cat 6 ?

Thank you!

Yes! But i can't start my phone :(
[Ascend Mate 7 General] pingvinen:
Bummer! I am afraid that my backup wont help you if you cant start the phone. The backup contains not only the apps but also settings, accounts, passwords etc so I wouldnt give it away.

Ahh... thank you.

I will try to find a solution :)

1. Yep

2. Wat

3. Yep
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cloudlockhart:
I have hide navigation.. Motion gestures are not yet confirmed on mate 7.. I dont have the cat 6 options.. Im on b313.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ivers:
But you're on a '10 right?

Only HSDPA?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] g3tloww:
if you able to install the transition pack (B300) you can see the following option in motion control (double tap, Flick, draw)
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cloudlockhart:
Yes, im on l10.. Lte option is still there on network mode.. But no option for cat6 to aggregate the lte.. Anyways it doesnt matter since my network does not support lte yet
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ivers:
Somewhat the same here.. Has cat6 but carrier has me limited to 10mbps.

Anyways, general opinion after a few days use, B312 is ok, a bit choppy transition between apps, but no problems worth mentioning. Battery time is ok compared to KK.

Is there any similar one hand function similar to note 4 where we you can shrink screen size to the right for easier one hand use?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] tuddu:
Only with LP update...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] bonell:
Yes, you slide right on the control bar and the screen resizes to a smaller version.

Check the video on OP
[Ascend Mate 7 General] tixoo:
I don't use the fingerprint scanner, never have used it, never will use it. I find this to be the biggest and most expensive gimmick that no one really needs in a phone but bumps the price of it of 100usd for no reason.

I like big phones that's it
[Ascend Mate 7 General] djpharoah:
This looks good - having owned multiple phones with lollipop it's a blast from the past to go back to KK.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] netvlada:
Is there some list of changes?

From what i can read i do not see nothing speciaI.I am not interested in cosmetics improvements.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] crisgen:
You can read here the difference between kitkat and lollipop.

After this the new emui 3.1 with cosmetic improvements by Huawei...

Hi all, after the upgrade I can not enter in recovery mode custom/stock and impossible rooted the Mate7 any idea?

Ciao
[Ascend Mate 7 General] elroy944:
Are these last 2 options available in settings - motion control on mt7 lollipop? See screenshot
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blackinfinity:
Really nice to see the One hand GUI to shrink the screen to a smaller area for easier one hand use...This can be very useful especially if its non-buggy and only trigger when it should.

Double Tap (knock on) function is also a very welcomed function... I guess they have been reading a lot on the forums that a lot of people request it.

However in reality to be really useful.. they must find a way to disable the fingerprint login method temporary in certain scenarios, cause when I have the Mate 7 at the table the knock on function is really my best friend... but it is a real pain to go into settings menu every time to change login method from fingerprint unlock to no security login..

An easy solution on a big problem would be IN the notification bar to have a button to temporaly disable fingreprint unlock for certain minutes, if you push the button 1 time maybe 10 minutes 2 times maybe 20 minutes, 3rd time 30 minutes 4th time maybe 60 minutes 5th time maybe unlimited time..

Lockscreen Notifications

Hi,

could you please share screenshots of lockscreen notifications.

Thanks.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] elroy944:
The screenshot is from my honor 4x, i was wondering if the mt7 will have that too
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Bassofondale:
But if you have problems how reinstall the rom?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] bonell:
You got the official update, and then tried to flash another recovery?

You will have to download Huawei unpacker tool and extract recovery from the lollipop rom.

Or and me a message and I'll give you the lollipop recovery to flash via adb
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Bassofondale:
Thank you Bonell !!!!! send a private message

[Ascend Mate 7 General] wavefaster:
As I always think huawei is a kind of donkey brand which never respect for their already release device to give some updates...one of new mobile named 'cherry' mobile which have 512Ram just release with 5.1...we are using a big one but still stuck on k.k...they told to release official on first or second week of August but I like to remind u all huawei never keep their promise so don't give so hope guys... shame on u huawei company if u can't hire a team of developers sell ur company, I guess if any new brand buy they will update even better than ur cheap teams...

guys can someone with b312 can check if there's fingerprint call answering?? I had that option on b308 but after roll back to b141 it's not there anymore. Really good feature which i liked a lot, thinking about updating to b312 only to get it back.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
I have the option but it's useless to me.

My carrier doesn't even have 4G. Am on B313
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
Guys pls better save that B129 incremental package update.

We might need it later to update officially to lollipop.

I see it's from B125sp02 to B129?

I won't be surprised if we have to be on B129 to install any new release of Lollipop

Are there any improvments for web browser in lollipop?

Coming from a LG G2, web browser is too much laggy, i dont know why. It was buttery smooth on LG

Wish to have improvment in 5.0
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Tigrushik:
where is the update announced 2 of August?

Looks like Huawei guys are still working on getting Lollipop update done asap. Why did they say it would be ready 2 Aug? The history of getting Lollipop update:

- Fabruary 2015

- March 2015

- August 2015

Whats next?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Hynic90:
I tried to write on their official email two times , both ignored no answer from them.Almost 6 months and no lollipop.Its not like i need lollipop that much its about i payed lots of money for this phone i want software support , fixes , new stuff atleast for 1-1.5 yrs.After that i can buy new phone, but this from huawei is unacceptable! its like they forgot about phone for 6 months,and they sold a lot mate 7s.

Sorry for my bad english , not my native language.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Tigrushik:
Yeah I have same feelings. Prevously I had same feelings with my Samsung now with Huawei I really started missing my iPhone 5. I bought M7 for two reasons its screen resolution and android os with a slight hope to get it updated from time to time. I had a possibility to buy iPhone 6 instead but I chose M7 and now I regret I shouldnt do that.

Even if Huawei get Lollopop stuff sorted Im not gonna change my mind no more Huawei for me! Im seriuos. Thats enough. Not sure Lollipop beta will finally become at least RC looks like its too far from it. No updates no information just nothing at all from Huawei. Strange beta testers who revealed betas eventually.Sometime it seems to me Huawei is like FBI secrecy secrecy and secrecy. Just for example I am a beta tester for MacOSX. Im getting emails and just lotsa information from Apple. Im not a super developer just a tester. I have an Ipad and test new iOS there as well whats the problem to share android beta Huawei? everyone can download apple public beta releases even if u r not a tester. Damn Im so dissapointed.

By the way english is not my native language either.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] chongo_au:
I've basically given up on ever getting official Lollipop at this point.

My main problems with the stock EMUI rom are the light coloured status bar (music playback icons are barely visible and ugly) and the way that Wifi seems to take 4 or 5 seconds to reconnect when the phone wakes up.

That and the ugly non-matching icons between Google apps and stock apps, and the generally horrible aesthetics of the UI. Other than that its a great device.

Thankfully there are a few options coming soon for large screen phones running either nearly-stock Android 5.1 or a well designed and functional custom UI: Sony C5 Ultra (6" display), upcoming Moto X Style (5.7"), the romoured 5.7" Huawei Nexus phone.

I've just ordered one of these to tide me over til either the Moto X Style or the Huawei nexus: http://www.gizmochina.com/2015/08/05/umi-iron-review/

Stock 5.1 UI, 5.5" display and a metal body for $179 USD seems to be a pretty good deal.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] vonotny:
The EMUI ROM is still Huawei's weakest point - the hardware is excellent. Too bad there aren't more viable six-inchers around ...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] rowihel2012:
Because lg 2 has snabdragon 800 and it is much smoother in gaming and browsing and soft is very smooth
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cloudlockhart:
Until now we dont have the stable and official lollipop updates for our mate7 mt-l10. When will it be released??

BTW, what is the most stable / best version (in terms of battery life, transitions and performance) for tl10 it doesnt matter if its kitkat or lollipop.

And is there any stable MIUI ROM for tl10??
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ivers:
Had to downgrade to B137SP03 yesterday after Lollipop nuked it self. Even though I have carrier aggregation as an option it does not work in B312.

With B137 I suddenly remembered how smooth and fast this phone is.. not more beta for me.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] chongo_au:
I totally agree, the Huawei hardware is fantastic. Excellent build quality and finish, and I've even dropped my Mate 7 pretty hard a few times without any issues.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Tigrushik:
I did it a couple of weeks ago. Got some issues and decided to downgrade to B137SP03. Now I have other problems. GooglePlay doesnt show me games and application for Android 4.4 looks like I have Android 4.1 but in fact its 4.4.2. I updated GoogleServices all fine but still have this issue (try to find and install Andry birds 2 for example). Instagram does not allow me to record a video etc. So its no way but wait for 5.1.1 release as I see.

I do hope Huawei will deliver kinda RC soon but in fact no more Android for me this phone is the last Android phone I have.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] ivers:
You have to clear user data to get google apps to work properly again.. :(
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Tigrushik:
How to do that? I dont want to reinstall again all the apps :crying:
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Kewinykw:
Top 500 company in the world, but lousy after sales service

Waited for 1 year and we still not receive our lollipop in stable version.

As I used many smartphones, as long as I remembered, all smartphones directly upgrade to newer version without go through the so called beta version.

You come out with a beta version, let's user revert back to you what's you have done wrong. Your development team is really damn lousy.

I will back to Samsung perhaps Just because of the S Pen.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] GMF80:
Angry Birds 2 doesnt work for me either. I'm on B137.. Tried a factory reset but no success...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Tigrushik:
Looks like there is no choice for us but wait for the final release of 5.1.1 Once you updated you phone with beta there is no way to return everything back even if you wiped out your phone and made a factory reset.

Instagram video is supported on Android only from version 4.4 and higher so Ive got 4.4.2 and? And nothing. I see the possibility to take a video but when I try to do that in a couple of seconds after my screen gets frozen and thats it.

My friend has a pretty old Sony Xperia and he has already got a Lollipop update. When I buy a flagman like M7 I expect it to be getting updates at least for a year and supports all new modern features. I regret and really think to swap it with iPhone 5S already got some proposals.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
Let me try angry birds
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Tigrushik:
have you jumped between beta versions? if you have so let us know was you able even to see Angry Birds 2?:D
[Ascend Mate 7 General] paulopais:
I have 5.1.1 , I have installed but manually
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Tigrushik:
Are you able to get Angry Birds 2? Is it visible? If you have instagram account could you tell us can you take video?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] GMF80:
It is possible to install Angry Birds 2 manually on 4.4.2 as well but the background graphics are missing.

Yes, their hardware is superb. But, don't count too much on software update. Just accept that what you see in the initial software is what you get, so you will not be disappointed.

[Ascend Mate 7 General] Tigrushik:
Looks like its time to go back and swap M7 with iPhone 5S asap coz there is no point to have this phone if you are not able to use all modern features. No more Android for me neither nexus nor samsung or whatever. Im missing my TweetBot as well.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Kalemucu:
Really?

I saw your topic which you praised huawei for P8.

I guess after spending couple days, you change your mind. That's what we all do. I loved my Mate7 on first day, hate after a week...

Big thanks to ****ty firmwares on huawei phones.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] bluelavender:
well, i understand yours and rolwihel position. p8 max and p8 are superb in hardware. But if we talk about the software update, hmm... with all the inconsistent updates, conflicting validation required to update, i think most have it enough and move on to others.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] domsch1988:
I just wanted to chime in on all the *****in about not getting an Update:

I'm part of the Android community for many, many years (starting with a htc desire (The original one...)) and if there is one thing consistent across al Manufacturers and Devices, it's people on XDA Complaining about not getting a specific Android Version at a specific Date.

If learned a few things over the past years:

1. If you want frequent Updates, choose Nexus or Apple. No other Manufacturer Can Satisfy our craving for Updates. I've had HTC, Samsung, LG and now Huawei.

2. There is a reason Updates take so long:

- First Google has to release the Updates to Manufacturers (Thats close to release, so that Android is close to finished)

- Manufacturers have to Port their Custom UI to the new Android Version (This takes the most time, especially since we switched to ART on the newer Android Versions). It's basically a complete rewrite of their whole Software. By the Time this gets done and Alpha, Beta and what not tests, Nexus Devices are already Updated

- In many cases new drivers have to be written. Google is making Android mainly for their Nexus Devices. So in Case of the MT7, there have to be drivers for at least 2 or 3 different Versions of the phone. All these have to be tested as well.

3. Never rush Manufacturers, it just leads to messy Software getting released.

4. In case of Android: Newer is not always better. The amount of complaints i've read about FC's, Battery draining, Slowness and what not is killing me. If you need a stable, daily driver with proper Performance, nothing beets 4.4.

Really, i would like fresh Software as well, but i'd rather wait for a properly tested finished Product. As is EMUI is one of the best Manufacturers Frontends and i'm really happy to have left Samsung with TW... If you feel better, change your build.prop to Display what ever Version Number you want ;)

One point where i'm with you is with release Dates getting pushed back. I can't stand Manufacturers putting out Dates before they know that they can make it. I think they all should take lesson from No man's sky. Never ever publish a set date before you are absolutely 100% sure you can make it.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] bluelavender:
i think the biggest issue with mate 7 is not exactly the slow update, but the inconsistency and weird validation. For example, the info whereby only those on B125 will get updated for TL10. However, for some regions, they have different versions, could be B126, B129 or even B120. Not to mention the weird sequence on the update (those in B129 must roll back to 125, then to lollipop..).

compare this to its older cousin, the MIUI, which has much clearer update sequence, so that even when it is slow (still on 4.4), no one will complain, because they know all will have it.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] domsch1988:
From what i've gathered until now, we're talking beta stage. I don't think we're positive jet on how the Update will roll out once the final is released to public... I may be mistaken though. I'll follow all news closely as i'm on B145 currently and don't want to miss the official OTA...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] bluelavender:
i also hope it is only beta stage and official OTA will not require so many "rollback dance" :p
[Ascend Mate 7 General] cloudlockhart:
Im on b313 mt-l10. I want go back to b120 , that was my version when i bought the fon... So i need to flash b300 then b120, correct?? And do you have link for b120.?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] stanlawren:
The reason it's like that now is because the update is in Regional beta. It's actually not inconsistent.

Huawei Mate 7 for example has different versions and the versions equally have regions that handle their updates and beta testing. For example there's the B308 Lollipop beta for Europe and then B313 for Middle East/Africa

Now to install B308 you had to be on B125SP02 and to install B313 you had to be on B128

The reason behind it is that before the new software installs it has to check that you have the latest kitKat software update or version for the region it's released in before it installs on your device.

This will stop when Huawei stops releasing beta updates and release a final official build.

But till until they do, get ready to jump to another kitkat version to get whatever new lollipop beta they put out.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Tigrushik:
you know what it sounds like "don't count on us guys use what you have and stop asking us stupid questions". Once you delivered even just a software or whatever else you have to support it and keep it updated from time to time. I'm a beta tester as well as a software developer last 10 years I know what I'm talking about. If you bought a laptop with windows 95 would you go to windows 7? Of course you would and you even wouldn't ask Microsoft was it hard or not to develop a new OS and of course you wouldn't care of how for example HP developed new drivers for your device they just must do that thats it.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] chongo_au:
All of those are great points, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Compared to the Apple ecosystem (choice of only two expensive current generation devices) Android users get to pick from hundreds of models, you can have whichever screen size, feature set and price you like. The downside is software updates don't land everywhere overnight and right on time.

Also good to see a fellow HTC Desire veteran! That was my first Android back in 2010, such a good phone
[Ascend Mate 7 General] S Moad:
just wondering to know, if you didn't notice any big bugs yet

why they don't want to give the users lollipop update and if there is any bug surely we will report!!?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] domsch1988:
I wasn't saying, that the manufacturer is out once the device is released. I just gave some points why it takes huawei longer to release than Google or Apple.

Btw being an it Administrator i sure can tell you, that a laptop bought with Windows 95 wouldn't be a good win 7 experience if you don't upgrade RAM and HDD (which you cant on a phone). Plus the fact you could install win 7 is that the base architecture for CPU RAM and etc is identical in all PCs. Porting Android to another device is like trying to run Windows in a PowerPC mac. Adding to that, my 4 year old laptop is now unusable because Fujitsu doesnt release New drivers for their custom graphics card...:sly:

In the end, for me, i'll take the update happily when it arrives, but don't really care how long it takes :p
