Im not going to carry it around that much.My only concern is storage & aspect ratio.Early review doesn't seems show N9 have good result. Maybe wait the price drop also.

I do agree that there is currently no other that can replace this Mediapad X1. For me, it still almost complete. I have managed to change the firmware of 7d-501L to 7d-503L firmware which is running at emui 3.0. It worked wonder and the phone is much faster now. Even the ram management is better, it have about 1GB free ram. Just that this firmware does not have google services but that can be installed very easy without rooting the phone. EMUI 3.0 is really nice, so far the firmware is good, it have not lag or hang.

Hi Joytest, that is what I did to update the 7d-503L firmware,

1) Download the attachment is this page (download.zip), http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-med...20-dpi-t2923307
2) Unzip the file, you will find 2 folders and 2 file. Copy all the content to your microsd and put it under dload folder.
3) replace the update.app with the EMUI 2.3 320dpi beta update.app that you have downloaded earlier.
4) insert to your phone and reboot, it will start the firmware update.

Note: Please ensure your data is backup as it will erase all the data and content.

I hope this help as this is what I did for the EMUI 3.0 beta.

I haven't try root as i usually don;t root the phone. Maybe I will try later to see if the root work or xposed work.

Sorry to interject the current ROM topic.

I'm on B007, run very well without issue except one: I just did not get notification on apps icon! There's notification on "Notification Panel".

e.g. I received an Whatsapp/SMS/email message, notice appear in Notification Penal, but the relevant icon no indication of "1", this happen in every apps I mentioned above. I've try to check out "setting/Notification Manager --> Rules: ALL Allow". (what's the different between "Allow" and "Notify"?)

Tks Joytest. But even the default Huawei EMUI 2.3 launcher also exhibit similar characteristic! I have tested Next launcher, Windows 8 launcher. KK Prime launcher, semua sama, no "notification" on apps icon!

P/S: Default launcher does indicate the number of SMS message, but not email or whasapp.

Any news on Lollipop?

There are 2  step 1 in your post.
Are we suppose to download both  files?
Sorry.. I am new to this.

New OTA update for 501L.

Hi, how do you get the upgrade? I ll already check OTA update but nothing there.

Anyone manage to update the latest version OTA for 501L(B012)? I can't do the update and when I checked the update package it seem like the build.prop might be the cause because it shows funny characters. Maybe Huawei Malaysia didn't or forgot to save it as GBK file. Frustrated. 

Successfully update my firmware to M'sia B102. All stuffs/files/apps remain intact after update. Rerooted it back using VRoot 1.79

BEFORE and AFTER

[attachmentid=4231590][attachmentid=4231593]

Okay forry for this noobish question, it's just that I have never really worked with xposed in any on my several previous devices.. and I've seen nothing but kindness from all of you here..
Swype is my keyboard of choice. I don't feel comfortable typing on anything else. So if I get on a 400dpi kitkat rom, and then through xposed I set Swype to run in 320dpi, will that result in the keyboard providing the tablet layout (which already runs by default on JB)?
Thanks guys and keep up the great atmosphere all of you.
Best regards

Thank you joytest.
That was exactly my plan in case the xposed idea didn't work.
It's just that because it's beta and because I have to tweak it somehow to get gapps, I was hoping to find a more direct and stable workaround.
Thanks again for your suggestion (:

How to get Google Play Store WITHOUT Root

  1. Go to the Huawei app center (If you are using the stocker launcher it is on the first screen)
  2. In the search field type”GMS”
  3. You will see a picture that has some icons of Google apps with a 4.2, click that
  4. You should now get a list of Google apps, including the Play Store
  5. Download and install Google Play Store

After I had the Play Store I just used that to grab all of the other Google applications I needed.

That’s it. It really is that simple and you don’t even need root.

Hi guys, i got mediapad S7-301u (yes, it is not same model as you all) but at the huawei S7-301u topic are not active so i ask here general question.

http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/prod.../s7-301u-en.htm

My mediapad behave wierdly last week. The touchscreen going crazy..the screen going
'touch' or 'working' itself without any touches from my finger. its moving around the screen,
open close the icon itself like crazy.

i manage to get it stop by forcing shutdown. After restart it seem OK for a while before
the touchscreen not working at all now. not even response to any touches. cannot use the tablet anymore but the screen is ON..i can see there are the activity when call in or SMS in or whatsapp in..but i just cannot open due to touchscreen not work.

If some one else experienced this, what kind of problem is this? for the info, i just
replace new touchscreen last 6 months (previous original screen is having faulty on some touch point but not fully faulty). After 6 months with new replacement now this problem happen. Is it hardware or software?

I just download the latest firmware from the website.
(HUAWEI_S7-301u_FIRMWARE_Android4.0_C232B005_General_Channel_05010YBX)
In the update file i can see inside there are one folder name 'touchscreen' together
with other image file. In the touchscreen folder got 5 image file.
I dont want to update full package as i will be losing all my data due to package update.
So, the question is, can i only update the 'touchscreen' software by deleting other
software image and update the tablet touchscreen file using memory card via power+vol UP button,
so only the touchscreen file being update? is it possible? have anyone try?

i replace the touchscreen previously myself. the sad part is i only get the screen replacement only without the frame.
so i need to get back the frame. when i pried the old touchscreen out the frame, the glass crack.. 
so the old glass is no more available..huhu.

oh, so i cannot only flash the touchscreen folder..herm. i dont want to flash complete file in the trial..
scare phone get flash, data gone but the touchscreen problem is still..

thanks bro, i dunno if the pad works with OTG+mouse. i will try it..i wonder how it works.. 

Tried with xda file but error during update...
