So 3 months into the release of Canvas HD. What is your take on the phone? Happy with it? Faced any problems? Still facing any problems? Put in your thoughts and lets discuss and work on making this phone better!
For a start, I have been using it for over a month and to be frank, I am having a great user experience with this phone. Everything has been exceptionally great except the Camera which I should say is below average. Also the internal memory was an issue, until I rooted the Phone. Games run pretty smooth and it sure can do some multi tasking. So altogether I would rate the phone 4/5.
Loving it, Great screen, good performance and looks good. Many people asked me if it was a HTC/Samsung. :silly:
Unrooted no doubt it would've caused a lot of problems but after rooting and removing the bloatware, swapping internal and external sd cards, it's great.

I recently purchased MMX A116 and toying around with it . I wanted to go in revovery mode to check recovery options.
I am able to move up and down with volume keys but not able to select any option using power button..

Yes, flashing a third party recovery will void your warranty. As Micromax mobiles don't have any flash counter or equivalent thing, you can reflash stock recovery to regain warranty.
i baught it for my wife when was there on holidays.. great phone.... I forgot to buy a screen protector b4 flying back... anyone knows any retailers posting international or ebay sellers.. searched in ebay amazone-no international sellers as this phone is sold in india only...

Thanks :laugh: And i guess to reflash to stock recovery same procedure i.e. only selecting recovery.img is to be followed.. Right ? or do i have to do a complete flash of the stock rom ? sorry for asking dumb questions but just wanna be sure and Thanks in advanced
Great Phone

I have been using the phone for about 2 to 3 weeks now. Amazed by the quality when compared to the price of the phone. I have rooted the phone, installed custom 4.2.1 ROM and the performance is awesome.
Camera is indeed a problem in low light conditions. But in sufficient light it works good.
Overall I am happy with the buy. Micromax has now introduced a OTA update feature and 4.2.1 upgrade but need to go to the service center. Since I brought my phone out of India I manage with the custom ROM's.
I have been using the phone for about a month now. Apart from minor glitches the phone is brilliant. I do not use camera, so it is not a problem as such. But there is one thing that troubles me, the charging time , it take more than 2 hours to charge the battery from 5% to full. is this the case with everyone ?

The below is a method brunes came up with:
brunes_007 said:
Having bought one of these from China, and having very little to noting written on this device so far, I had to figure a bunch of this out myself... so I thought I should share my findings with the community.
If you order one of these from China, you will find that it does not have the Google apps and utilities on it. So to get them on, first you will have to root it.
The first method I tried was via the recovery mode, which I determined you access by holding volume up + power until it reboots into it. However, you will find unfortunately that the recovery mode on this device is locked and it will only flash signed updates, so that method is out.
I tried a bunch more methods and exploits until I finally found one that worked - that was this Root_with_restore method on XDA. Follow the instructions in this thread and you will have rooted your device.
Now that my device was rooted, the next problem was how to install the Google apps. I downloaded the latest ICS apps from goo.im - but remember, you can not flash these. I tried installing ROM manager from the market and using that to flash CWM recovery, but that didn't work. What DID work, and what I ended up doing, was simply unzipping the gapps.zip onto my MIcro SD card, then (as root on the phone), copying the entire contents of the "system" folder from that SD card over the /system directory on the phone. After I did this, and rebooted, I now had all of the Google apps working!
I was able to add my account and install all needed apps from the market to make this phone really shine.
My next goal is to figure out how to get CWM working on this phone. I am doing a bunch of reading on the topic and might have something to report later this week.

Hi Guys,
Can anyone please point me in the right direction on steps to root and install the Google applications (Play Store, Google Contact Sync, etc.) on my Huawei U9510e (Ascend D1 Quad XL)?
I just had a family friend bring me one over from China today and obviously it didn't come with any of the Google applications. I was able to find the Gmail apk online along with the GoogleLoginService and the GoogleServicesFramework apk. Everything installed fine, but I am still unable to sync contacts over from Gmail, and occasionally I will get an error saying that GoogleServicesFramework has crashed.
Any insight pointing me to the right direction is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hey brunes, amazing work, I've also found a easier way to root it and flash on google applications with simple UI for newbies like me, I will update my original post to put that in, and put yours in too if you don't mind?
And for sure, I think as soon as this phone receives a global launch it will be pretty popular too, seeing how it's probably the only quadcore pentaband umts phone available on the market right now

No problem, I'll do the translation and post it up by tonight
But just remember that it's still built on a beta rom release from EMUI so it may be unstable, even though I haven't experienced anything (ie. the phone auto restarting), I can't guarantee for you guys :S
Amazing phone for the price
I just got mine 2 hours ago. My friends are all HTC fanboy so they told me to stay away from Huawei but I was just thinking to try it out and then return it but I think i am gonna keep it and sell my GNex. It is quite an amazing pone for such a little price. although the phone might look bit thick but the thickest part of GNex is actually slightly thicker than the D1. I just wish there are more dev support.
I find the camera app that came with it really annoying since you cant turn the sound off... also if it had 2Gb of ram this would be the perfect phone for me!
Anyways anyone else have any news on update to 4.1.2? Or is there other site/ forum with more support?

Beta is fine. Flashed my previous Samsung Captivate numerous times (various Cyanogenmod releases), until settling at SlimBean. Android = always a work in progress.
Regarding the D1, anyone notice slight choppiness when scrolling through the app drawer and such? I'm using Holo Launcher (which I used on the Captivate).
I find that changing the power saving setting to High Performance seems to have mitigated this somewhat. I suspect it might be a small issue with how the stock governor is handling transitions in CPU speed.

For sure about 2GB ram, and support is coming, supposedly Huawei will fully unlock the bootloader by late next week.
I get all my information from bbs dot anzhi dot com, it's a Chinese forum and that is where I found all of my information from. You'll probably have to wait a while longer for the office update to Jelly Bean from Huawei's EmotionUI, but I will be posting the guide on how to flash into their beta release later tonight.

Haha that's true.
I noticed it when I just open the app drawer, I'm using Holo Launcher HD, and it'll be smooth out after opening it for a second or so. I haven't noticed this problem when I was using the ADW or stock Launcher though, so the probably poor ram management from Holo.

Testing Apex Launcher (my go-to launcher before) now. Seems smoother!
I Tested with NOVA launcher PRIME and I say the transition is pretty fast but not smooth. (tested it on performance mode) But i gotta say the 3D unlock screen works perfectly smooth. Do you guys think it might be the problem with 4.0.4 ICS and not the device? My GNex runs on 4.1.2 + some performance tweak and it looks fine.

Double post, need to accumulate a couple more posts so I can start posting links, but I have started to draft the instructions
I'm not sure, because the 3D Home was laggy to me compared to the 2D Home, and I didn't try NOVA, so I couldn't comment, but isn't it similar to APEX and ADW? If it is, then it should be pretty snappy :S
Edit: Tutorial is up!
Indeed it is snappy but not as buttery smooth as 4.1 I feel.
Here is a good review androidauthority
Thanks for your tutorial!
Hey I'm just wondering if anyone got a case for this phone and can you please give a short review of it. I m looking for a case that replace the back cover but wraps around to the front. I had a case like that for my atrix 4G back. I just don't want to make it any chunkier. But if you think it feels fine then I might consider putting on a case. Thanks

I'm using this case right now. I love the feeling of the back, it's really similar to the original backing of the phone's battery cover, and it's not too bulky. I'll get a couple of pictures of it tonight so you can get a sense how much wider it is compared to holding the phone without a case
Newbie Hiere
Hi Sir/s,
I recently bought a Huawei U9510e phone from China and i came upon your posts re the "rooting".
I already rooted my phone (thanks a lot to you!), but now my problem is how to install the google play.
I saw one update from Huawei but it is in ZIP file. Here are my questions:
1. How will i install the update to my phone? Do i need to download it from a PC first then install it in the phone or do i need to download in directly to the phone?
2. How to deal with those ZIP files and where to save them to make them work? For example, the attachment "huawei_usb.zip". I downloaded it but i didn't know whats next after that. How can i integrate it in my phone? Or if its a driver, how can i integrate it with my PC?
Kindly help by providing step by step procedures re my question since im still new at these things.
I apologize for the stupid questions but i don't really have any idea about those. Hope you can help me.
Thanks,
Androidneophyte

and the replay was ..
Yes, the Xt910 and Xt912 had issues with sound. the speaker sometimes loses contact with it's contacts. It can be fixed by pressing the speaker area together, and gently mashing it back and forth. (2-3lbs pressure maybe) - also, the stock Operating system has several performance issues. "Rooting" it, and installing a 3rd party OS actually turns it into a wonderful multimedia device.. that has the bonus of also making phone calls. - WARNING: doing so will void your (useless) warranty. there are tutorials all over the net, or if you prefer, send me an email, and I will guide you through it, if you are unsure.

Dear Jazzsonic,
I do not know where did you hear such about razr.
you have to adjust that each phone has some minor issues.
Razr xt910 is a fantastic phone. It is very slim and powerful. Love the build.
Much much better than any Galaxy phone in terms of build.

Hello,
I have Sola for 6 months by now and it was a hell of a phone till i decided to upgrade to ICS. After that, my performance decreased signifcantly and I can't even do simple tasks. Tasks which a low end phone can do, even better then mine, such as the simple Galaxy Y S5360. And, yes, i get pissed when I look this phone behaving better then mine.
I tried to downgrade to GB, to upgrade to ICS, install a custom ROM of ICS and etc. Lately i tried Munjeni JellyBean, and after that, eXperience Innovation ROM. All of them have a good performance, but still, they do poorly then the Galaxy Y.
I miss my performance and i want to ask you guys, how the hell can i have my phone acting like a real dual-core phone?
Hope you guys can help me
Thanks

The jb roms are not really stable yet. You can try experience v2 rom which is ics based rom and then if you have an unlocked bootloader u can change kernels or even oc ur device. And also what di you mean by slower?

I mean that i can't even multitask with dolphin browser and some other app without having major slowliness in the phone. Or anything that my phone can possibly do (by his specs) and is not being able to do it. I have to uninstall Facebook app and Messenger app cause they crap the hell out of my phone.
Won't the GB experience would be faster/more efficient? Can't you guys reccomend me any "THE ****" rom for Sola? I mean...a kernel and a rom that can really bring me the experience of having a good phone (again).

Ohh well yeah i think this rom was not really meant for multitasking though but i think this rom is better than the stock ics http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162832
How about you try that out too? And also i suggest the speedy kernel just search it and youll see that kernel. Good day

I mean that i can't even multitask with dolphin browser and some other app without having major slowliness in the phone. Or anything that my phone can possibly do (by his specs) and is not being able to do it. I have to uninstall Facebook app and Messenger app cause they crap the hell out of my phone.
Won't the GB experience would be faster/more efficient? Can't you guys reccomend me any "THE ****" rom for Sola? I mean...a kernel and a rom that can really bring me the experience of having a good phone (again).
Thanks

i am very happy that i can make tweaks
i am using jb with my own tweaks and mods
and my phone is flying i don't have any kind of lag at all
i will release my tweaks soon
and the rom when i get enough time
Thank you all for your answers.
I'm installing Speedy Sola v5.5 now and eXperience™ v2...I will report in a few hours.
I've tried to install the kernel via CWM and my phone got stuck on the boot screen.
Tried with 2 SpeedySola kernels already (ICS and JB) and they do not work.
Just reporting.

Wait there is a kernel for the experience v2 included i the zip u fastboot that first and then u copy the kernel in sd then flash it via recovery. Or if you already do that try wiping data. Hope that helps

I ****ed up.
I was randomly installing kernels (dumb attitude) until my phone just can't run CWM anymore. Nor being at flashmode or fastboot @usb connection.
What the heck can i do?

Ohh I think u really be careful with kernels but try pressing power plus vol up button until it vibrates 3 times then try fastbooting again. Or try flashing stock ics again and start there

Hey!
I managed to flash the ICS stock from somewhere and it is kinda flying right now.
But i have a little feeling inside of me telling me that it will suck soon...so, i'm gonna give a chance to eXperience then.
Thanks and see ya

Root it and debloat it asap. It would fly on and won't get back to Earth then, I bet.
Back up always before doing stuff
Before even thinking about installing new roms, kernels,mods, tweaks.. anything be sure that you've backed up using recovery and have saved it not only on your phone but your pc also.. that way if anything f***s up, all you need to do is restore and your saved.
Okay, i need your guys help again.
My phone did great till now, but its kinda slow already. So, i want to upgrade the kernel/rom/whatever to make it fly again. Would you guys recommend me some updates?
I was thinking of "eXperience Innovation" or maybe "Ultimate Rom V11". Those roms will make my phone better? As i said previously, I just need my phone behaving like a dual-core powerful phone as it is.
Thanks :cyclops:
Install cm9 or cm10.1. best roms for our phones, hands down
I suggest that you must try project xvr rom, its more stable and really smooth, no problem with multitasking, etc.

my Note is still my "go-to" device , even with LG G2 Pro , Note-2 and Moto X , this is my daily driver , i cant seem to find the others without faults and the faults are numerous , having been replaced several times , the G2 just plain sucks , the Note-2 I love but cant seem to get one that works very long and the Moto X is awesome with xposed , but without an unlocked boot loader its just no fun whatsoever , Im still running Avatar rom on the Note 4.2.2 and besides a few crashes now and then its flawless !
Ha I'll trade you for your g2 then you can have 2 beloved notes.

Almost every single one of those days in the pic was 4h+ screen on doing all sorts of things from gaming to Web browsing, music, ect...
My note never achieved this, no chance it could ever touch my g2 in terms of pure daily driver

Please let me know what rom you use on your original note!
I looked at the original Note right before we signed our contract with At&t. I ended up going with the iPhone 5. I ended up selling my 5 for $350 a few weeks ago, and wanted to play around with Android some more before my upgrade in October. I picked up a mint i717 the other day for $100. It was still running ICS. I quickly rooted it, and now I'm running Beanstalk with uber kernel, and couldn't be happier.

As far as the NOTE 2 goes ,Ive had problem after problem with it , nothing against it , just my experience and the LG is trash period , the Moto X is awesome for a stock (no chance of unlocking the BL) , i HAVE TO SAY IF I DIDNT GO CUSTOM THE MOTO X WOULD BE MY FONE!

OK cool I found the thread for avatar. It's based on CM. How do you fix the echo issue (other end hears loud echo of them-self talking)?

I dont have that issue and wasnt aware of it , I did have a similiar issue with my winfone Samsung Focus , cant remember how i cleared it but had to do with the secret menu on the phone itself
I'm still rocking the note!
Glad to see others are too. Sure it's had its problems over the years, but it's still running OK.
I had the power button issue, the GPS issue, and I'm on my 3rd battery, but I still love it!
I'm running Candy Kat 4.4, most stable for me I've found, but I'll have to look into the suggestions you've made on what your running right now, I'm do for a clean wipe anyway
Sadly I am in the market for an upgrade, I will probably take a chance on the one plus one later this year (when it might be possible to find an invite without fighting a few hundred thousand other people for it).
I figure for the price it can't hurt to give it a go. I am without contract right now and I'd like to keep it that way lol.
*EDIT*
Also, I have the same echo issue, I never knew there was a fix?

I love my Note but the USB port bummed out on me a few days ago. No longer charges, but I plan on getting it fixed. Beanstalk has been my DD for a month or so. I have been looking at other phones though, possibly a Nexus or HTC
While I have moved onto the Note 3 myself, my original note is still running strong for my mom. She was unsure about the size of the phone but after an hour of using it she said she'll never use another phone but the note. The custom ROMs pulled from this site have greatly lengthened it's life and useability.
if anyone wants to trade their note for a droid dna,hit me up. the droid dna is for verizon but it has a sim slot and works on any gsm network,no LTE tho but will get HSPA+.
I too was thinking of rocking a Note in 2014. Found one for $70, is it worth it?
I'll honestly say, my phone still handles all the things I throw at it, just fine. Games like asphalt 8, etc, seem to run just fine.
I actually just got an invite for a oneplus one, so I will be upgrading. But if I didn't have the option, the note would still be fine.
If you're looking for a phone, and you don't want to spend a bunch of money, and it's in good condition, $70 isn't bad for a note. If I can get mine on a more stable Rom I'll probably give it to my mom, her galaxy s2 is giving her fits.

Hey guys,
Just wondering - do you plan keep carrying and using your SGS3 in 2015?
Or planning to get a new device?

Got myself a new original battery and its a solid device

Well no. For multiple reasons, I'm growing angrier with this device every day.
1) Can't find a solid ROM for the life of me. Any stock based is slow, any cyanogen is way too unstable (reboots my device every now and again, crashes my apps) which is unacceptable, I can be far from charger for a few hours and rebooting the device that many times drains it. Won't even mention other bugs here.
2) My home button died. Now while I can use the 'handy whats-it-called' to replace it, it slows me down insanely, since they are software keys, when you need them the most (something is crashing) they will take a few seconds to appear. Also, the funny thing is (at least that's what I was told by repair shops) that in order to replace the home key, one must replace the screen as well, totaling the repair at about 120-130e, which is the price of a new unit.
Unfortunately, time has come to part ways with it. Still between s5 and 5s, not sure which one I'll get next.
No, today is my last day with the SIII! moved on to a Moto X+1
