Since most of us are excited to get this tablet in our hands, I was wondering what everyone plans on actually doing with it when they first get it. As someone who has never owned a tablet before I was curious how most people plan on using it day to day, and what apps they are looking forward to trying out on it.
uhh uhh uhh... turn it on?
First thing?...hit the wall? Stupid question and another stupid topic.....:facepalm:

I don't think even the Tegra 3 can work with numbers that big!
I have a list of about 16 apps (so far) that I KNOW I want to download asap. I'm taking advantage of all the 10ยข apps lately. In downloading them to my phone and then when I get the prime ill already have them on my Google account

Well this is a Xmas present to myself so assuming that I can pick it up on the 19th from Gamestop, I am going to wrap it up unopened and put it under my tree. It's gonna be hard not to open it but I think I can make it a week. I'm just as excited as Xmas in 1989 when my mom bought me a NES with mario and dunk hunt on the same cartridge!

this forum is for adults, not facepalming children.
its a valid question, and why do you care?
After a full charge and setup I will test the WiFi duh! Whether others will admit it or not WiFi will be tested by everyone on this site pretty quickly, followed by GPS! Just saying!
I'm going to get an ps1 and n64 emulator.

I'm going to check out and download 100000 apps while having a smoke.
learn everything about my device and android.
watch my youtubes, surf forums.
I'm going to make the 64GB hard-drive cry by loading it up with all my music and apps! Muahahaha

First thing root it. Then do a Titanium backup off all my apps and clean up system apps that I do not want. Then Rom manager/CWM and do a nandroid backup of my stock rooted rom. Browse the web and watch Hulu through DroidLu app from market.
After charging it and turning it on, not necessarily in that order. I'm going to test the WiFi, BT, cameras, and then curl up with it, and watch a movie on it.

I'm going to end world hunger and the green house effect. And that's just the first hour. I'll rest for 23 hour and then start solving other world problems with it. So I think it's safe to say that I should get this first if anyone should get one.
Root, Figure out how to unlock Bootloader, install CWM Recovery, wait on CM9

My first demand!!!!...... I Want it before YOU!
Has anyone done a factory reset yet on your Gamestop tablet and did you lose the pre-loaded games?
I think it should erase them...if it didn't, that would mean gs had modified the firmware

Why phrase the subject as if you did it, then ask if anyone has done it? You title is misleading; you could at least end it with a "?".
Anyway, I was wondering if it did too. There are people who wanted to remove the games, they should try it and tell us what happens.

By phrasing it like this: "Gamestop prime will factory restore delete added games", you are kinda saying it does do it. Then everyone will ask you did you do it and have prove, but when you read your post, you are asking if anyone did it. Yeah the question mark will let people know that you are asking rather then telling.
Didn't you mean to say: "Gamestop prime will factory restore/delete added games?"

It will delete the games GS installed.
---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------
Yes I did and yes it will remove the games GS installed.
Isn't there a way to sync the games with your google account so you can redownload them in the future?
What he meant to ask was "Will a factory restore of a Gamestop Prime result in the loss of the bundled games?"
Now that we've got that out of the way. If I remember right, there are two types factory resets. A soft reset that erases user data and a hard reset that re-fleshes factory stock ROM configuration. As I do not have a Prime on hand I do not know the answer to your question. My guess, they go bye bye.
Could be wrong though.

Curious, rcbarr, do you plan to root the prime? what is the build number now that you did a factory reset? If your build number is less than what mine is out the box, I might factory reset mine and try to root it with the razorclaw.
I find it funny that gamestops game bundle can be lost so easily. Wonder how you would get it back if you had to do a factory reset to fix a problem. Guess an app like Mybackup Pro might help get it back.
Looks like rcbarr confirmed that you lose the games. Terrible setup on GS's part...good thing we have for Titanium I suppose.
This site has the data dump posted from gamestop in development section. You can download and reload.

Totally sucks. I have purchased some of the games already like riptide and shadowgun. I'm wondering if they are the same version that was pre-installed.
I would use Titanium but Razorclaw doens't work on our Gamestop ones. Someone as mentioned the GS possibly did an OTA as they were installing the additional games.

Build Number: HTK75.US_epad-8.8.3.29-20111202
I rushed into it, should have backed the apps up first with Titanium. Whatever, will first try to get them back from the dev backup, if that does not work, will just buy what I want.

The good news is, we now know GS did not mod the Firmware.
As far as rooting it, no, I am going to wait until I get ICS. Believe me, I have thought about it, had my EVO 4G rooted before the first week was out that I owned it, laughing.
So can these games be updated with updates are released in the future?

Do your research first on razorclaw, I heard "in here" there were problems, good news is, it will just fail. Suggest you wait, but hey, do what you do.

Mine is HTK75.US_epad-8.8.3.27-20111122, earlier than yours; you probably did the OTA, right? Well, we just need to know what the build is on the ones from the other retailers out-the-box before OTA. Hope someone posts that info soon.

Yes I did do the OTA earlier, before the soft reset Settings/Privacy/Factory data reset.
On Asus ftp site, only the 8.8.3.29 build is available. Here's the link in case anyone wanted it

hi, ive looked through ebay and ive found this screen repair service on ebay for 40 pound, they replace just the glass, they say aslong as your touch and lcd are fine then this will fix your cracked screen, has anyone used this service? he seems to have good feedbacks on the repair, would anyone else trust him and send there phone away? im a bit worried about sending my phone away lol but i really need it fixed and 150 pound for the screen lcd and digitizer is far to much.

Don't forget to do complete data wipe and remove sd card before you send off
Well obviously his feedback is good so thats always a good start.
My advice is to send it to him recorded delivery so then you can track it online and know when hes got it.
Also pay for tracked delivery to return the item back to you aswell.
Also as mentioned above make sure you do back everything up to a computer first and do a complete factory/data wipe aswell so all your personal stuff is safe.

thanks for the replies, think im going to go for it, i think i am going to install the avast app aswell so if he does start trying to steal my phone i will just lock it instantly and it will be useless to him, and track it through gps and inform the police haha he probably will not be long in returning it when i do that

And bump this thread and let us know how it goes, valuable resource if he's good
This thread is simply to count the people who have the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 so the dev's will realize how popular (or unpopular) the device is. I've had the HAM 2 since it came out and have been waiting for rooting methods to come out, but I can't find ANY info on it.
I came from the OnePlus forums, and just recently made my account here so don't hate if I did something wrong, just let me know.
Got one as well....i really like this phone but i'm waiting for that kit kat hopefully
Had mine about 4 weeks now
You can have my HAM2, when you pry it from my cold dead fingers!
I love this thing!
Mine 3 days old
Still on the first charge lol. My iPhone 5s has only -4hrs screen time, the HAM2 is a beast.
It is not all about processor as long as it has no lag one bit and not one app crashed on mine.
For $299 and get $30 T mobile unlimited all prepaid plan, I just wish I can cancel my grandfathered unlimited plan on at&t. Never turn my wifi ON and every month Minimum of 20gb data
I just don't know yet how to mirror my netflix on HAM2 to my chromecast?

To mirror the entire phone display I'm pretty sure you need to have a separate adapter just for that.
The only way to cast a chrome tab (from a phone) is to enable a setting only available in KitKat. Just another reason to find a Root+ROM.

Hello all,
I think we may need a bounty to get root! We've already started thinking about it in the old P6/Mate 1 thread. Anyone else in?!
Yessir
I registered just to voice my support for this phone. And I use the case that came with my preorder though I do have the black back.
Another owner here. I absolutely love my ham2. I'd put something down on a bounty if that happened.
Got one
Another owner checking in. Love it and waiting for root eagerly

Root plz. I really miss screencasting.
I have had this phone since it launched in the US. I love it, but I wish that it could be rooted.
It could be rooted, it just seems that we need to pitch in for a bounty so that a developer could do it for us.
There doesn't seem to be any developers on our phone, and none of the existing root methods for any other phone exists.
Got one when released in the US.

Well, on the heals of the announcement that our excellent device is now DOA due to lack of manufacturer support (ugh, AND I JUST BOUGHT THIS THING 3 WEEKS AGO!!!!!) I have decided to start a device request over with the CM team...
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/101462-huawei-ascend-mate-2-mt2l03-device-request/
We have the same SoC as the HTC Desire 816 - not apples to apples but atleast there should be some commonality for certain areas - so hoping we can get something started. Please light up the device request so we can try to get some buzz.

Where did you see that Huawei announced there will be no device support for our US model? If this is the case I will get rid of mine today.
They confirmed no KK, see thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/confirmed-kitkat-t2921399
And even their US offices aren't being given any info about any other updates, i.e. Lollipop. :crying:

I'm not against custom ROMs obviously, but I hope you realize they don't care about device requests. The only way we'll get one is if some random nice developer (like Modding) comes along and decides to help.
We'll just have to wait and see (...again) what those developers that got a free Bait2 at BABBQ are going to do. That is, if they're going to do anything.
