Hi,
I've bought a WiFi only M5 8.4 and would like to make the initialisation setup without registering an Huawei-ID.
After switching on for the first time, I choose my language, Accept Terms and Conditions, connect to my WiFi, choose several Google services, skip screen lock style and then i come to a page "Welcome to your SHT-W09". There I choose "Set up as new" and the next screen is the Huawei-ID Login/Registration screen. I choose again SKIP, because i don't want to register at Huawei and I come back again to the page where i came from "Welcome to your SHT-W09". I'm in a loop.
If I don't choose "Set up as new" and use "A backup from the cloud", I can choose one of my several Android devices, can select which data I want to restore, then the data is restored and in the next point I'm back again on the Huawei-ID Login/Registration screen. So I'm also in a loop.
Is this normal? Does huawei really force me to register an Huawei ID? I just have two options after skipping the Huawei-ID page and both option bring me back to this page. I've spoken to friends who uses Huawei phones and no one needed to register an Huwei ID for the initialisation setup! Is this a new method to force all users to having a Huawei-ID?
Regards,
Marco
Hi, Marco. I have set up my European M5 (LTE) version yesterday without such a loop. If memory serves well, I had to look for the proper "skip"-button, which was a bit small, greyish and at the bottom left side, IIRC, but I definitely could skip it.
I've set in mine , the login with google on huawei ID.
Hi, I just bought my M5 10.1 version from China, now i cant even see google apps in my Huawei tablet, what to do??

Hi guys, I’m new to the forum and fairly new to Android devices in general. I’ve googled a good bit before posting, and searched this forum for some keywords, but haven’t come up with a solution to what I need to do.
I have what seems like a fairly simple need: Set up an android device the way I want it, and then clone this image to multiple other devices.
I work with an organization that conducts a lot of epidemiology surveillance in foreign countries. The surveys are done on android based devices with a collection of off-the-shelf apps, plus one we had custom built for our purpose. Data is sent to us via whatever mobile networks happen to be available in the country being surveyed (we buy our phones unlocked, and get the SIM cards in-country).
As we continue to expand, installing all those apps and getting all of the settings just right becomes a very tedious, repetitive task, when you consider doing 100+ phones a month. .
Ideally I would like to stick with the factory rom, just add/remove some apps and configure settings. The cloning process needs to be fairly straight-forward, and not require a bunch of apps to be installed on the target phones first, because that kind of defeats the purpose.
For the time being, we’re using Motorola Atrix and Atrix 2. We also have some XT720s but we’re phasing those out.
Not sure if this is relevant, but below is roughly what provisioning currently looks like:
1. We receive a batch of phones, say 100 at a time
2. First, do a factory reset, and go through the initial setup
3. Remove as many of the factory installed apps as possible
4. Set up WiFi
5. Log into Google Play account and install the 6 apps we actually use
6. Make LauncherPro the default desktop, set it to only use 1 dock and 1 desktop, set a plain boring background, hide all except the app drawer icon, and have and icon for our app, and an airplane mode widget on the desktop.
7. Finally, enter the server connection settings in our survey app (this part we’ve gotten to a point where all we do is drop a config file to the SD Card, and it picks up the settings for this particular app)
8. Turn off the phone, and do it all again on the other 99 devices…
Any thoughts on how to automate this?
Hi! I have a problem with my new tablet. So...
Please! Help me to remove it!
I recently bought a tablet. This is a new model on the market: Lenovo Yoga 10.
And as it often happens. I started to download different apps from Google Play and upload photos from your computer to the tablet, via cable.
And that's probably the way it got something on my beloved tablet
When I turn on any game, it takes several dozen seconds, and "something" off her, but not as the end but they drop it "*on the belt" (if you know what I mean). This happens with any application that inclusion. There is no difference whether the inclusion wi-fi or not. If the inclusion galleries one finger movement off the "*belt".
* "at the bar" - At the bottom of the screen. You have a "black menu", a belt. And "something" allows apps to the third window.
Please! Help me to remove it!
So, I've tried all the possible solutions for unlocking my new Ascend Mate 2 and they all don't work. The Chinese site says something about 14 days and, honestly, this phone is as useful as a doorstop as long as I can't root it. Can anybody please get my unlock code from the Chinese unlocking site?
Okay, so I figured out a way that actually works instead of all the garbage links you find everywhere on the Ascend Mate2, 7, 8, etc. forums. Huawei is fully incompetent and incapable of providing a simple, no-nonsense way to unlock their phones and it's completely infuriating that I had to jump through so many hoops to find the only currently viable solution. Probably going to be my first and last Huawei phone after this.
As some of you might have noticed, the English unlocking site gives a "Server is busy" error no matter when or how often you try. The Chinese site requires you to do some voodoo BS involving creating an account, logging in/registering from your phone and staying online for 14 days before they'll give you a code (and it seems anybody who recently used it successfully can't get an unlock code for anybody else anymore). The e-mail solution no longer works because (according to recent reports in other threads for other Huawei phones), they no longer hand out unlock codes and refer you to the Chinese site. The Ascend Mate 7 unlock site that was linked in the general Ascend Mate 2 thread gives a 404 not found message.
The only solution I've found that *actually* currently works is using the DC Unlocker client (https://www.dc-unlocker.com/). It costs 4 Euros or 4.xx USD, but it's worth it because it simply works once you know exactly how to use it.
Make sure you install the drivers beforehand. I think I've lost the link to the standalone drivers, but you can get the Hisuite software directly from Huawei and it'll install them automatically. Don't ask me in what order to do this, it just suddenly worked for me.
DO NOT PRESS "READ UNLOCK CODES"
Basically, the instructions are (with the phone hooked up by USB):
1. Download the client.
2. Buy credits (and in the process create an account).
3. Start the client.
4. Set "Select manufacturer:" to "Huawei phones"
5. Do what it says in the text box below
- > go to the phone dial pad, enter *#*#246579#*#*, go to ProjectMenu -> Background settings -> USB ports settings, and set it to "Manufacture mode"
5. Set "Select model" to "Auto detect" (so you don't have to fiddle with the ports)
6. Press the big magnifying glass/search button. (it should detect your phone automatically)
7. Press the "Server" tab and enter your account login info
DO NOT PRESS "READ UNLOCK CODES"
8. Go to the "Unlocking" tab
9. ONLY PRESS "READ BOOTLOADER CODE"
DO NOT PRESS "READ UNLOCK CODES"
It'll give you a long series of numbers, that's your unlock code.
I initially used "Read unlock codes" and it gave me a bunch of bull**** numbers that don't do jack. Wasted a good 4 Euros to bring you this information.
I hope this helps whatever poor souls decide to buy themselves an Ascend Mate 2 in the future.
TL;DR **** Huawei
I have and continue to this day been able to use the Chinese site without ANY issues.
I ask this because the site I have to be able to visit and function 24/7 is aspx-based. Here is some details to understand my issue.
The site is an affiliate-type one and I transfer money from once bank account to users, and I have to do it, when they ask it.
So, it's not a big deal for me to do that, when I'm at my workplace or my home, but I have life and I cannot be 16 hours a day at home. When I tried to access the website from my smartphone (TCL 5042D) using Chrome and Firefox and Browser (phone's own browser)(I encountered the same problem at the same spot from all 3 of them-I'll explain the problem right now), I logged in just fine. The customer's accounts are in one page and from there simply press the + or - buttons (depends on what the customer wants) and then a popup will appear, having a 2 boxes that I have to write the amount of money and a description for the transaction. As soon as I press to the boxes, the smartphone zooms as it supposed to be (in order to see what you're typing) and the popup disappears from the screen disabling me to press the ok and to put description.
What, do you believe? Could it be a bad-written aspx site, or is it natural to react that way? And what do you suggest?

Hello everybody,
For some days now, I'm struggling with my first app. I use Android Studio to make my app. It takes some time, but it is fun to do.
Some background information about my app:
In my company new employees get a binder with all the information they need about the company. Houserules, what to do in case of fire, the history and more. All this still on paper and I want to change that. Less paper in a era where there are a lot of digital devices.
It took some time and research, but I 'm capable enough to build a simple app. There is only one problem I can't solve. I want to use an menu structure (three little dots and then a menu pops up.) I can assign menu items to this structure and then it goes wrong. I want to link a menu item to a page (let's say: activity_history.xml) with onClick, but nothing happens. Nothing, the app crashes all the time.
Is there someone who can help me to solve this problem?
