We recently saw leaked shots (via PC Magazine) of a Huawei Glory to hit Cricket with a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, an 8MP camera, front-facing camera, and a 854×480 TFT display. The device will come running the Gingerbread flavor Android, also known as Android 2.3, and rumored possibility of immediate Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade upon release of the update. The number of specifications we know will be coming to the device is petite, but from what we know now the device specifications fit those of almost every popular Android device on the market right now.

i think most probably early next year, coz they may rush for the CNY promo..bt just guessing only la =)

For those who are interested in Huawei Honor, u may refer to its more detailed description and review at http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/12/huawei-honor-review/

it looks great to me...if the difference btw huawei vision and huawei honor is just around rm200, i think i would opt for huawei honor...of coz that's up to ur preference XD

singa89, i think u r correct... indeed it gt single-core processor only~~~


Added on December 27, 2011, 1:19 pmbt huawei honor gt a 1.4GHz Qualcomm Scorpion processor...it's pretty powerful in fact...u guys may refer to the link pasted by johntan007.

i jz read through it roughly...take a look at the parts of Lock screen and Virtual keyboard in the article..the phone is very very cool!! wow, it totally changes my impression on smartphone frm china =) nt lagging at all....with superb performance on interface... too bad that i jz gt a htc phone (which is quite lagged sometimes)..will seriously consider this phone if i want to gt 2nd phone (or change phone perhaps, haha)

There's alot more other phone to pick from. Samsung even upgraded Galaxy Ace to Galaxy Ace Plus. And price may drop for other high-end phone too.

Just bought one from IMCC about half hours ago.

I'll be running it stock for a long while. If someone is curious about benchmark scores, post the app link and I'll see if i can do a few.

There are some benchmarks on youtube. Huawei Honor is Huawei Mercury in US.

I'll upload some pics some time tomorrow.

Hardware wise I'm sure you guys did the comparisons and knows the bang-for-buck factor. "How is the actual user experience?" was on my mind.

Answer is: Very good, I think Huawei spent a lot of time on this phone.
*When you hold it in your hands, it rightly, feels like a solid phone. There's no plastic-iky feel (it is made of plastic though); tapping at the touchscreen and tapping at the backcover sounds the same
*Uber fast bootup. It fully boot up before I counted to 6. It turns out Huawei have some sort of Deep Sleep Hibernation feature in it.
*The launcher (AHome) and the pre-installed apps are ok, nothing to shout about. It is a Google phone, so lots of native Google apps.
*Supposingly Huawei will provide 16GB of cloud storage for Honor devices. I'll check that part out later.
- The camera is not as fantastic as the rest though

Summary: Midrange phone @ amazing price.

ICS is important as Google promised better UI experience. It has the biggest revamp since 2.3.
If one is looking to buy a new phone, it is better to be upgradeable to newer OS rather than not. You have the choice of wanting 4.0, or 2.3 or 3.0 for that matter.

As the benchmark by usercricket shows, this phone is not likely to be lagging for games. You can link up a free game app if you want me to try that game using my Honor.

First day of a full usage; superb battery life. 3G on all day; music & internet anytime I wanted. My typical day ended with the battery at 35%.

What I did at dinner outside was surfing the forums, download the Asphalt 5 HD free game (97MB) and play it for a while. One hour of those activity sapped 10% off the battery.

Asphalt 5 HD has no lag. Browser no lag. Homescreen no lag.

Wow cool. For a midrange price that's a very good review. This could be a better alternative than nexus S or Galaxy W biggrin.gif

First day of a full usage; superb battery life. 3G on all day; music & internet anytime I wanted. My typical day ended with the battery at 35%.

What I did at dinner outside was surfing the forums, download the Asphalt 5 HD free game (97MB) and play it for a while. One hour of those activity sapped 10% off the battery.

Asphalt 5 HD has no lag. Browser no lag. Homescreen no lag.

The pixel density of the screen is very good. The fonts came out sharp. LYN forum reading/surfing doesn't need any pitch zoom.

Considering this or whether to wait for Huawei P1....

The downside for this phone...512mb RAM and not dual core....

However, the battery capacity seems greater than the P1 with only 1650mAh...

Guys what do you think?

you can ask me to try out games from marketplace. Show me the application link (free games).

Battery life has higher importance for me. I get to do whatever I want whenever I want. Like todays 6 hours youtube on 3G stress test, I now can confidently go without car charger when using GPS, for example.

I don't mind testing it out tomorrow. My prediction is about 1 and 1/2 days no problem, based on what I seen so far. If it can lasts two days, it will exceed my expectations.

stream is huawei's social network all-in-one integration application. How's Honor at your end?


My day ended at 49% battery left with 3G on permanently, and used 15.92MB of 3G data. Maybe it's possible for 2 days of usage but I'll have to shut down the phone at 12midnight and see how it goes tomorrow.

Hi guys, want to ask those who are using this phone. Is the phone by default loaded with android 4.0 or still on 2.3 ?

If anyone is on 4.0, is the phone sufficient to support the OS ? Since the ram 512MB if I not mistaken.. And any shortcomings for this phone from your personal review ?

Thanks smile.gif

It's on 2.3 stock.

A demo of ICS (4.0) was available for download until a few days ago. Someone wrote in XDA that Huawei tweeted saying a full ICS will be released in 2 week's time.

You can see how the phone runs on the ICS demo @ youtube. There are a few of those.

Honor with ICS is totally different from Gingerbread.

For my own experience, the camera works better in ICS.

Does anyone interested to test Honor with ICS?

If yes, then we would consider to release (unofficially) it for your guys to test it.

Please do take note it's China Beta version, some of the function doesn't work as good as Malaysia (or Global) version.

Thanks

Im on ICS posting this now. This is still BETA release, almost same like the one I tested earlier. However, a few more features are now working though, namely face unlock, cloud+ service and so on. There is still no market n gapps. :-( tried installing apk manually but mostly does not work, which was already been warned by Huawei, due to the app developer havent got their apps update to be compatible with ICS yet.

It feels quite buttery smooth overall with the user interface, but as I type, the keyboard by huawei is really pain in the ass. The word prediction works like it only knows alien possible combination. Frustrate me quite a lot to type this long.

Due to short coming of third party apps, u only can do this much with ICS, no more, which could really be a deal breaker. Camera, on the other side, has improved a lot. The best of it is that u can now focus on any part of the photo, rather thsn only focusing at the center point only.

Anyhow, I will roll back to GB 2.3.6 until more apps are compatible with ICS. Its still a real good phone for this price. A highly recommended one smile.gif

Thanks for the feedback. Hanging back with 2.3.6 until the next update comes out. Camera improved is welcomed news.

Among one of the reason why I bought this phone is because I'm banking on Huawei building up their Android branding; that they will provide regular official updates. Official updates, in regular intervals and added functionality, are easy and time saver compared to custom roms.

Sadly for me, official updates is one part some company doesn't deliver. Partly because they spam lots of models every year for market segments (resulting in updates for each model slow to develop) and partly because hardware specs are racing ahead (low product shelf life).

Having said that, I hope XDA will have some custom roms in 6 months time. I don't know by then if Huawei still have the same commitment level like what they showing now for ICS.

This seems to be the best middle range phone per price ratio. I was very impress with the buttery smoothness of the GUI compared to the ones that came with HTC or Samsung which has slight 1-2sec delay from time to time. Any idea where I can get this at Penang? Wouldn't wanna risk to buy via postage. Thanks!

Hi, new Honor user here.... Just bought it on last friday...
So far everything was smooth as told by the online review... rclxms.gif

Just install few game(Alphat 6, S.Fighter 4) & application in the phone... only the camera360 seen like can't work in this phone, maybe it was the installer problem... Will try it with other installer later.

So far I'm very satisfied with this phone performance especially the gaming performance... thumbup.gif

My bro was just bought another phone SE Arc S, which have the exactly same specification with mine, only the battery & screen difference, will compare the battery performance later...

Hi, new Honor user here.... Just bought it on last friday...
So far everything was smooth as told by the online review...  rclxms.gif

Just install few game(Alphat 6, S.Fighter 4) & application in the phone... only the camera360 seen like can't work in this phone, maybe it was the installer problem... Will try it with other installer later.

So far I'm very satisfied with this phone performance especially the gaming performance...  thumbup.gif

Hi bro, do let us know the outcome. I am currently considering these 2 models so was wondering if the Arc S justify the additional RM300 upgrade ? Is the Honor screen and Arc S screen huge different ?

The screen was almost the same, and I personally feel that Honor was slightly better.
May cause of Arc S(0.2") has bigger screen but same resolution with Honor.

Outlook wise Arc S was sure to beat Honor which has boring look like samsung/iphone...
However do note that the Arc S has physical button for the 3 button below the screen.
It was quiet difficult to press the key when you already familiar with the touch screen pressing method.

Camera wise Arc S was slightly better, however honor has a huge battery which 450mAH more than Arc S, which is the main reason why I select Honor.

Currently in Malaysia,only available black & rough surface for back cover.

No support from XDA yet, however I'm quiet confident that we will get it soon since this phone was not only sold in china market... The phone brand & spec was competitive enough in this range even in US market

Normally I won't going to buy the phone after it just launch, however look at the ideos X5, the phone price only drop till rm7xx after 1 year+, so why are we waiting for ?

However, galaxy W has better screen (TFT LCD vs LCD) + nicer camera output Source. The only upperhand I see Honor has is 4'' screen, Bigger battery + ICS brows.gif

The current LCD lowest technology was TFT in the market, which mean both of it was using TFT too...

Just compare the screen at HP seller shop, Huawei Honor was surely beat the galaxy W...

Im using the china version GB 2.3.6 now. It has more preinstalled apps and comes with Cloud+ service and it works! You have 16GB cloup space and can back up all your system data to it. Very nice feature indeed. However, the preinstalled keyboard that is found in our ROM, TouchPal, has been removed and being replaced by Huawei IME and Sogou Input, which both are more chinese input oriented, that Im not that fond of. I still prefer TouchPal.

This ROM also comes with huawei's own appstore, which is also available in ICS. The appstore and Cloud+ are actually meant for China Mainland user, that most of the apps are what I believe is famous in China, and that also explains why Cloud+ only comes preinstalled with China version ROM.

Other than that, it also comes with a ebook reader, namely Palmebook and a CHN-ENG-CHN dictionary, called Powerword. The dictionary is actually quite good though. The rest of the more famous pre-installed apps are mobile QQ, Sina News, Weibo, UC Browser, Baidu, Tudou and so on.


Added on January 24, 2012, 6:14 pmFor all those apps that comes with ROM, however, all Gapps have been removed, even the Android Market is not pre installed.

How does the display quality compared to Galaxy W and Nexus S?
I think Honor 4" screen a bit different than normal 4" screen..Honor screen is a bit narrowed and taller..is it true?

It comes with Google Map and Navigation on default. Google Map locks on easily but Navigation doesn't work with Malaysia roads. I wanted to install Brut's Google Navigation but phone haven't been rooted.

You can try looking for custom rom in XDA but there's no thread for it yet. There's a demo custom rom ICS though you can probably check that out biggrin.gif

Good question, so I tried it.

The default application (Sound Recorder) is sounds terrible. I didn't know if it was the hardware (recording mic and/or playback speaker) or software (Sound Recorder), so I grabbed a sound recorder app off market Hi-Q MP3 Recorder and captured a recording.
I uploaded the recording and the original here

Anyone, feel free to sample it and comment.

From the video tests found on Youtube, I find that the problem is during recording outdoors. At outdoors, I cannot even hear the sound of cars passing through, just the noisy windy sound (i.e. video test shot by GSMArena). When going indoor, the noisy windy sound is still there but much softer. Kind of ruining the whole video, despite good video image quality.

Just for comparison: (Huawei Honor vs Galaxy W)

Honor will have an all white version and it's preloaded with ICS for China market(via China Unicom telco) before Valentine's day.
Looks like the chinese ICS is ready. Hope english ICS will be shortly.

Yes



On the first day I was already not as impressed with the camera compared to the rest. I figured then I'll see if Huawei ICS or custom roms will take care of that. What you guys think of Honor's 720p recording?

Try post 69, 77 and 172 for my personal experience. I'll like to hear other people's experience with the battery life too.

My phone now is permanently on Live Wallpaper (Rays of Lightis awesome). Rays of Light on the lockscreen drool.gif

Bought at RM999, which is the lowest sellers in BJ complex and Prangin (Penang) are willing to offer. Includes screen protector, earpiece, but no microSD. The phone can be gotten for RM870 in China I heard, but oh well..
Checked with service center, phone cover not here yet.

As other forumers mentioned, the recorded sound is incredibly soft. Tried video capture using different apps - same result.

Been using the phone for a few days, haven't noticed any other issues. Works great so far

Ah. Thanks for the info.

In terms of playback music sound quality, no problems there. The default music app is loud and clear enough on headphones. Speaker playing back the music is very decent.

battery life ppl say not bad. But duno why mine is not that good. Im using data/wifi all the time. When im at home, i switch to wifi, when im out, i use data. I get about 8-9 hours per charge. Maybe my expectation is abit high la, since i never use a android before, all my previous phone are ios and nokia symbian.

If you can wait, then wait until ICS comes out. I think right now not much accessories available for Honor yet.

My advice is better grab it now since the 2.3 Gingerbread was smooth & stable... Later use ICS 4.0 may facing alot of problem especially the software compatible problem... Let other try the official ROM first then only we follow....

Wow, this phone replaces Galaxy W as the best-bang-for-buck-under-1k phone. Higher camera MP count, higher screen reso, higher battery capacity, bigger screen, better design.

Does it have the annoying 3-tier memory thingie common in Samsung phones?

Just checking, no offense intended.

I am currently looking for an Android phone with a RM1.2k budget.

I'd like to know if Huawei's quality can be compared with those of Samsung, Nokia, etc.

You know, being a China brand, people tend to be sceptical about it. I understand that there would be quality products coming from China and I certainly do hope Huawei's products are one of them given the amazing price for its specs.

Im currently a HuaWei phone user. the quality of Huawei is definitely comparable to those famous big brands. Being had the good quality, the price is always lower than the others. The only lose part about Huawei is not well-known enough.
So, if you are looking for sth good with reasonable price, jz go for it!

Huawei is not a new company when it comes to telecommuncations industry.

QUOTE
In 2010, Huawei recorded revenues of US$28 billion.[11] Its products and services have been deployed in more than 140 countries and it currently serves 45 of the world's 50 largest telecoms operators....
Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, is the world's second-largest telecom equipment maker[58] and China’s largest telephone-network equipment maker.[59] Wiki


They are relatively new in producing Android devices but each subsequent models have been a steady improvement. They started with low-end Android phones and Honor is now their mid range phone. Ascend, the upcoming phone, should be a solid contender for the upper mid-range.

When you mention quality, are you talking about physical build/physical durability quality or hardware performance quality?

Thanks for the replies. smile.gif

I've checked with my father (he is a manufacturing supervisor of an American MNC that supplies chips to hundreds of companies including Huawei) and what my dad said was that Huawei has one of the best quality controls and requirements compared to other clients.

Seems like Huawei might even have a better build quality than more established competitors. brows.gif

after few days as honor user....

i must say, it was impressive indeed in terms build quality....same par on htc build quality...u won't feel plasticky feel like most samsung devices....hence it would feel heavier than Iphone 4 (hell yeah i like solid feel)....
well done to huawei thumbup.gif

Hardware wise,
yes, i believe many ppl eyeing what capable of single core 1.4Ghz compared to 1Ghz dual core...
fyi,it equipped Adreno 205 can do most of 3d games due to snapdragon procs compatibility.
(if you're hardcore gamer, get a sg S2)

Memory,
Honor comes with 1GB rom, 2GB internal, & 8GB swappable memory.
1GB rom are sufficient to install apps from market without hasle unlike 128MB or 256MB....

Battery 1930mah,
a single charged will enough to feed your 12 hour usage on data/wifi, video playback + some gaming session.
battery efficiency thumbup.gif
oh yeah, its Li-Po battery rclxms.gif

Speaker,
sound a bit lose compared htc crispy loudspeaker,still very loud.
however it can solved, tweaked through native 3rd party apps.

Display,
pixel sharpness are good enough to see small fonts,
color display i won't say is good due to normal TFT lcd display, eventually you will notice some color fade if u compare to amoled display. (my previous device HTC Desire Amoled does better in this part)

Camera,
8MP a letdown in my opinion, i'm expected more actually.
No touch focus, (Just auto focus on centre spot)
No manual iso adjustment,
Can't disable shutter sound itself (only way to does it, set to silent mode on phone)

Conclusion:
i pay 1k to buy this device,
i nvr put high hope on it since sell off my htc desire first sad.gif
i just check through online only, not even check out the actual sample unit Honor on retails store.
(buy 1st, test later concept) risky sweat.gif


thats my opinion & review sweat.gif
no regret.

Yea I know, but if they've released a demo version, the official version should be in development am I right? Looking forward to that. Large screen, relatively good processor speed, lotta great things about this  phone. Just hope it doesn't get problematic or buggy later, I remember one guy who mentioned on the Huawei FB page that his Honor kept rebooting itself.

Hmm, that being said, my bother's Vision also has some software issues.

Even my own X5, custom 2.3 ROMs seems to be more stable than the official 2.3 from Huawei. That's kinda pathetic, really, considering that Huawei should at least iron out the bugs

Except that there is no google service (google map, google market, google sync account and any other google related apps), the rest of the function works great, especially the face-recognize-unlock function for this version.

for those who r interested, u may try it out, esp the face recognition stuff =)

the link is http://www.sendspace.com/file/gy9uib

You guys should really try out the HOnor ICS,

Understand it's not the global version (as no google services), all of the function works great~!

Do try it out and roll back to 2.3 if you don't really like it, but at least do hope you guys should really try it.

Myself won't switch back to 2.3, as ICS really a superb OS that suite my taste~!

We shall release the Honor ICS (Malaysia version), hopefully in Q1 2012.

Please stay with us,

Thanks~!

after few days as honor user....

i must say, it was impressive indeed in terms build quality....same par on htc build quality...u won't feel plasticky feel like most samsung devices....hence it would feel heavier than Iphone 4 (hell yeah i like solid feel)....
well done to huawei  thumbup.gif

Hardware wise,
yes, i believe many ppl eyeing what capable of single core 1.4Ghz compared to 1Ghz dual core...
fyi,it equipped Adreno 205 can do most of 3d games due to snapdragon procs compatibility.
(if you're hardcore gamer, get a sg S2)

Memory,
Honor comes with 1GB rom, 2GB internal, & 8GB swappable memory.
1GB rom are sufficient to install apps from market without hasle unlike 128MB or 256MB....

Battery 1930mah,
a single charged will enough to feed your 12 hour usage on data/wifi, video playback + some gaming session.
battery efficiency  thumbup.gif
oh yeah, its Li-Po battery  rclxms.gif

Speaker,
sound a bit lose compared htc crispy loudspeaker,still very loud.
however it can solved, tweaked through native 3rd party apps.

Display,
pixel sharpness are good enough to see small fonts,
color display i won't say is good due to normal TFT lcd display, eventually you will notice some color fade if u compare to amoled display. (my previous device HTC Desire Amoled does better in this part)

Camera,
8MP a letdown in my opinion, i'm expected more actually.
No touch focus, (Just auto focus on centre spot)
No manual iso adjustment,
Can't disable shutter sound itself (only way to does it, set to silent mode on phone)

Conclusion:
i pay 1k to buy this device,
i nvr put high hope on it since sell off my htc desire first  sad.gif
i just check through online only, not even check out the actual sample unit Honor on retails store.
(buy 1st, test later concept) risky sweat.gif
thats my opinion & review  sweat.gif
no regret.

I am trying out this ICS right now. spent some time looking for english language option. Face recognition is fast and seamless. Camera improved a bit from few shots i took. Overall reaponsiveness seems more or less the same

no marketplace. and for some reason, the huawei backup app doesnt restore: lost my contacts, sms, etc.make manual, not huawei app, backups before proceeding

I am a SGW user, so far the one thing that I don't like about the camera on SGW is that it is unable to zoom while it is set to full resolution. Simply put, while your setting is on the highest (5MP), you will not be able to zoom. Same applies for 4m, zooming is only availabe starting from 3.2 MP. Video recording, however, was rather smooth on 720p. And due to the TouchWiz and Gingerbread, it uses up pretty much of your memory, clearing the ram via task manager would only give you around 100mb spare ram to be used. Relying too much on a third party app such as TaskKiller to kill applications would also drain the battery even faster.

BUT, however after rooting and using a custom rom from XDA, the phone is now pretty much living up to expectations. Clear memory via task manager will now give me approximately 200mb ram to spare, twice as much as before =)

Hi ashburn98,

Could you also include a ram usage screenshot by the huawei honor for comparison purpose? Both ICS and Gingerbread. Thank you in advance =)

Anyway scoring 3.8k antutu with stock rom is a splendid result.

Im using without screen protector all the while. I think its oke. I don't like too sensitive. Last time used a Nokia C6-01. Way way too sensitive!! Not even touch the screen already register my touch. Damn annoying. Of course I would say that is very fail for Nokia.

True, but when I've just bought the SGW, the ram available to be used is already around a 100mb. So, I would really like to know how's the Huawei Honor ram usage, since I heard not much bloatwares are installed.

I install alots of apps..on startup, my Honor loads the Security Guard, Calendar, Traffic Manager, Whatsapp, YM Mail, FB and few system load settings. With that also around 110mb of RAM available for use. Huawei didnt install any unnecessary apps that the user dont want.

This is the Global latest version, I believe it should be the one you needed.

However anyone know how to backup our current version with Factory reset ? Since this is the only version we can root...

Source? I haven't seen any source which states that Honor is using Gorilla glass. Better to keep or change screen protector, better be safe than sorry.

Also noticed that touchscreen sensitivity is inconsistent as some others noted. But coming from an old android phone (samsung spica), the Honor's touchscreen is fine for me

Honor has slightly better specs (screen, battery, ICS coming soon). IMO its more important to consider any unknown bugs. Eg, Honor has very very soft audio recording (its discussed many pages back), so if you record videos on your mobile, better give it a skip, unless a new firmware fixes it (suspect is hardware or firmware issue). Also the touchscreen sensitivity issue (few pages back).

Check the galaxy W thread and see whether there;s any problems

For me, the touchscreen sensitivity irregularity is due to too many fingerprints at the same spot. I don't think it is the hardware problem but there's no matte (anti fingerprint) screen protector for Honor to test.

Not sure if there will be a lot of people paying RM50 just for a screen protector sad.gif

About a week ago I tried some WTS screen protector sellers and no luck on Huawei Honor.

mine is black color with rugged surface...just like samsung S2 back plate plastic cover....
so does as other honor user at the moment....white will be avail coming month i guess...


QUOTE(vinderr @ Feb 14 2012, 01:20 PM)
does anyone have issues with the battery, as in it reports weird numbers. first is see 47% then its 48%?? and I also haven't charged it for a day and a half. Does this mean I need to recalibrate the battery? Should a battery recalibration app suffice?
*
i encountered this problem b4 few days ago....
battery indicated 45% after browse internet....then after few minutes inactivity, battery indicator back up to 50%....
after few cycled charging battery, this issue gone....

battery calibration app must root device only able to calibrate battery....otherwise,u just use it as usual......

ooh, i didn't do the charge coz i was readin online and a lot of people seemed to think it was unnecessary for newer batteries. even the guy at the shop i got it from said i didn't need to do it. but i had a nagging feeling that i should have..

it's subjective issue....no harm if try it....it won't overcharged ur battery since it has auto cut off circuit build in itself to prevent overcharged & damage the battery. icon_rolleyes.gif

hi, I wish to know what MHZ is the GPU of honor capped at? how is the experience of playing some HD games such as games from Gameloft ? As far as I concern, my friend's huawei x5 is having difficulty to install gameloft game ...I wonder would this happen in honor too?
Thanks for clearing my doubt...

even if it's tied with any telco, the 12 or 24 months contract is probably not worth it. the phone is just RM1K.

Huawei is very good, for instance I am using Ideos X5 2.3.5 gingerbread, the browser is similar to CM7 browser, got invert color, camera with continuous auto focus, just need to aim and shoot, camcorder also have continuous auto focus before recording. Usually these functions comes in custom ROM only, but Huawei includes them in their official ROM thumbup.gif

FYI, you can get the game installer from SE Arc S forum since both of us was using same CPU, GPU & same screen resolution rclxms.gif

definitely worth it! it got both the quality n attractive market price. i'm using it now. =)

its cam n user experience is great for me. though i'm not a heavy gamer la

it's quite rare that it is lagged, n i guess this is important for almost ALL smartphone users =)
i like this part the most in fact, as recently i noticed a lot of complaints here n there abt samsung n htc smartphones. heard that those brands can be quite lagged when it comes to heavy users

then my next question wud be: why buy a more expensive phone to make urself fed up by it at the end? XD

Honor is not a bad choice after all, considering its moderate price n super long battery life, hehe

indeed, android phone can be quite lagged compared to iphone, as its android OS n hardware on the phone are designed by different companies eg. hardware on samsung galaxy is not designed by google which designes android OS. in terms of integration of user experience, almost all android brands are incomparable to iphone. if Huawei Honor is not so lagged most of the time, i think huawei has probably managed to deliver 1st class integration of android OS with the phone specs on huawei phone.

i believe so as well. as i'm using its Mediapad now. not bad afterall, haha

Added on February 18, 2012, 11:39 pmHaha, guys, i got some ICS new leak to share...

It's to get the New ICS for Honor with Google Services (Market, contact and etc)

1st, go to huawei website to download the latest ics (china version)

http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/technicaInd...&productId=3884

and install it, then proceed to below file at sendspace,

http://www.sendspace.com/file/0wc1s3

it can help to root the phone and get the administrator - bypassing the China ICS v out market issue.

Which means, we may enjoy the ICS now come with google services, cheer for HOnor, cheers for huawei ...

Expecting the official release come very soon ....

Superb like the phone now (honor ics v market) .... yipie~!

Wow, how u use till can last till 3days? For me, i have to charge it everyday. But 1 single charge is enough to last the whole day la. Around 16hours, with normal data usages, Whatsapp, sms, and abit of online browsing.

I've just updated to lated ICS B972SP02 provided by Huawei. But after installing gApps, those gApps icons wont appear. After that I rolled back to ICS B969SP05 and install gApps again, and YES... those icons all appear!

You mean Huawei ICS dont have the All Backup app install? Can anyone confirm this? If its does not applied, better wait for the official World Edition and see whether the All Backup app is pre-install? But it doesn't make sense if Huawei does not include it in their ICS?

Added on February 18, 2012, 11:39 pmHaha, guys, i got some ICS new leak to share...

It's to get the New ICS for Honor with Google Services (Market, contact and etc)

1st, go to huawei website to download the latest ics (china version)

http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/technicaInd...&productId=3884

and install it, then proceed to below file at sendspace,

http://www.sendspace.com/file/0wc1s3

it can help to root the phone and get the administrator - bypassing the China ICS v out market issue.

Which means, we may enjoy the ICS now come with google services, cheer for HOnor, cheers for huawei ...

Expecting the official release come very soon ....

Superb like the phone now (honor ics v market) .... yipie~!

actually to activate and appear back all google apps is only a command will do............

im using beta 2 ICS 4.0.3 China version, It come with chinese and English interface. Preset is no Google Apps inside (in more suitable term is they hiding all Google apps), but to call out all Google apps a simple code will call out all google Apps to appear already.

Code to call out Google apps is ,bring up dial pad, key in *147258369#, after that will appear a selection screen Hiding GMS apps and Display GMS apps , choose Display GMS apps will do(Market, Gmail, Google Search, Latitude, Google Maps is all come back)。


My Honor with ICS 4.0.3 beta 2 with full Google Apps, and face unlock, touch focus camera, and there is Huawei Cloud+ for me to use..........happy

Mine once lasted for four whole days and still left with 30% IIRC. 3-4 days is usually not a problem. Granted I'm a very light user, mostly using it for PDA functions (wifi only, no 3G). I set the brightness at lowest setting (using the huawei widget), and increasing it only when required (eg under sunlight).

opps, find the update file name, usually named as: update.app & update_cust_app file into the dload folder under the sd card (create the folder incase u do not have)

then slot in ur sd card, find the storage there, under the software upgarde stuff like tat, and upgrade it.

In case it doesn't recognize ur sd card, put the dload folder into ur phone, and upgrade again under the storage there,

then follow tanseehua method, unlock the gms app, enjoy de ics now,

wahahah~!~

Anyone facing this problem from their Honor?
Using an earphone/earbud with no mic disables the mic on the phone itself when talking on Skype?

I thought even without an in-line mic from the earphones/earbuds, one can still talk through the mic from the phone itself?
Or is there a way to enable this?

Thank you in advance.

This I noticed since the first day I got the phone. Haven't seen a solution yet.

Is there any reason for holding the phone for WiFi hotspot ? When I do mine, it is flat on table or in my pocket.

i discovered this issue since from day 1 i bought it....
hopefully huawei would solve it maybe baseband firmware update?

btw,tried ics rom.....very buggy with most of apps...due to all mostly supported 2.3 not 4.0....

now reverted to 2.3 better stability....
ics camera really improved biggrin.gif

Mmm..guess I rather wait for the official release...I need to use most of my apps

u open the rar/zip file....inside does contain update. extension something like or look out for dload folder then copy into ur memory card.

after copy, unmount usb storage>goto setting>storage>software upgrade.

that upgrade required about 10-15 minutes usually....so wait for few minutes....

bfore that make sure ur batt level is 60% or above....

For sure, it is worthy!

1) ICS capable/ready for Huawei honor,

2) Galaxy Nexus 1st ICS in Malaysia, Huawei Honor 2nd, other brand – don’t have (unless it’s non official release)

3) Huawei Honor affordable with better function – 1.4GHz, 8MP camera and etc compared to the giant brand!

4) What Galaxy Nexus have, Honor also have

Huawei official ICS 4.0.3 ROM. with gapps.

Attached some picture to Poison Honor Buyer ^^,

Attached Image Attached Image

Attached Image Attached Image


Battery Consumption? Superb! Speaker? Super Loud! Boot time? Fast! Rootable? Yes.

Worth to buy! What do you expect from Underdog Company like Huawei? Internet speed? See to believe.




p/s: I'm not getting any shares or money for promoting this phones, but this is the 1st time i am very satisfied with the speed of Android OS compare to my previous HTC android OS phones.

Any questions and queries regarding the Huawei u8860 Honor, reply me here or PM Me.

Thanks.

It will be in Chinese, but you can change the language to English. To activate the gapps, press *147258369# , then select Display Gms Apps.

download the official ROM from the link given. Unzip it.

after Unzip, you will see "dload" folder. Copy that folder into an empty microsd card. Put the microsd card into u8860. press volume up, volume down and power button simultaneously. It should update the rom automatically.

true, and i also don't know how to backup my phone till now. I want my phone to be the same, after i update ics. Hmm. can anyone teach me how to backup?  tongue.gif

Just use the All Backup apps preinstalled in your 2.3.6. You can restore it back to ICS as the Official ICS from Huawei still have the All Backup preinstalled in it.

Just a +1 to ICS update for u8860, u will have the ability to use the Cloud+, Hispace and Phone Finder (*in case someone accidentally* take your phone) >_<"

Few more item only @ ICS:


1. camera: it can focus when touch the screen, and also support for wide angle photographing.
2. Face unlock: setting => security => screen lock => face unlock. So you device will recognize your face, when you wanna unlock it.
3. Screenshot: press volume down + power key together, it will print your screen
4. Data usage: right now it can track 3G even wifi data traffic

wat r u waiting for?

Actually it depends on how u use it. If you understand the linux / unix language, sure u can develop it yourself. and i guess there will be a custom roms for u8860. As for Huawei itself, they actually quite fast and good in developing the upgrades. When people talk about ICS last time, they already put up the ICS kernel in their website. In the mean time, just enjoy the brightside of Honor~ . Although its cheap, but still, the quality up to standard.

Some apps is not compatible with ICS. But sooner or later, developer will update it to comply the requirements of most people. Example, whatsapp itself.

note to all : once u upgrade to ICS. Don't forget to activate Gms and download adobe flash 11 from the market or u won't be able to view youtube etc *if u know what i mean >_<"

for whatsapp, chat history will be automatically saved to your sdcard. so once u installed the new whatsapp to your ics, the app will ask u either u want to restore your previous chat smile.gif

download the official ROM from the link given. Unzip it.

after Unzip, you will see "dload" folder. Copy that folder into an empty microsd card. Put the microsd card into u8860. press volume up, volume down and power button simultaneously. It should update the rom automatically.

must it be in empty sd card? so in order to make my sd card empty, i just copy all the folders in my sd card to my desktop right?

so this is the step im doing

- empty sd card,
- copy dl folder
- press vol up, down and power together
- it will update rom

is the step correct?

ok, checklist here,

your sdcard copy must only contain :

D:\dload\

which means copy the whole "dload" folder into the sdcard.

then, when u do the volume up+down+power button, a purple/pink screen should appear...if you copy the "dload" folder correctly, it should auto update it. if not, the purple/pink screen remains like that ony. so, u need to pull the battery and do the vol up + down + power again.

duno why your vol up+down+power can't work ..

im using this step now, and its updating
QUOTE
1. On your computer, download the Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 firmware package. Connect your device to your computer using its USB cable.

2. Copy the downloaded .zip file to the SD card of your phone. Make sure that the file destination of the .zip package is in your phone’s ‘dload’ directory.

3. Remove the attached USB cable and power cycle your phone to idle mode. Click on Menu> Settings> Storage> Software Update> SD Card Upgrade> OK. This performs your upgrade operation on your Huawei Honor.

4. A screen will display containing the message ‘Upgrade Complete.’ This signifies that the upgrade process has been completed. However, you will have to wait until your phone restarts into a boot animation called ‘Unicom’. Normally, this takes 3 minutes to do.

the SD card dont have to be empty. The system will look for "dload" folder and update using the files in the "dload" folder.

System will not erase any file in the SD card, so no worry. And it will also ignore files in any other folder.

Btw, i wanted to download google chrome beta on the phone, since it only support ics. But, i can't seem to download it. Like its not supported hmm.gif

HI, i was looking for that case. How much did u pay for it? mind sharing the ebay link bro?and LOL at your abuse, that's a mighty big dent.  tongue.gif

Btw i have a question for all, if I wanted to downgrade from ICS back 2.3.6, where do I find the rom? i looked at the huawei website, there is a 2.3 there, but the build number is different from what I have in my phone, not sure if that's an issue. So I'd like your opinions and assistance please, if someone could provide their 2.3.6 rom for download, it would be much appreciated.

You can download the worldwide version u8860 2.3.6 rom here

nope. no wifi problem at all...bug seen at the moment, i don't know if others experienced this, try to change your ringtones or notification tones from the system settings. it won't change..but u can still change it using the file manager by assigning it smile.gif

Upgrading to ICS will set your phone to factory setting. Which means, everything u installed will be wiped out. So, backup if u want your application to be restored after the upgrade. Not all app will work after upgrade.

One of the reason I hold off the upgrade to ICS until the official non-beta comes out. Let them fix those bugs first brows.gif
