Does Huawei support custom dev community well?Like releasing source code? Any news on AOSP rom for this device?

I really miss my AOSP.The software side is killing me.I hope they do something good in next firmware update.
*
I can't find anything wrong with the software except its smoothness is not top class eg vs Nexus. However it is still acceptable to me. "Killing you " is serious n I suggest you change phone than

ROM update release for international version 501L is darn slow vs China 503L.
I have already passed down this phablet to my wife as she like the size. She uses it as a mini tablet n had commented it is way much better in performance n smoothness vs her Tab 10.1
I am now using LG G Pro2 as my main driver while the Oppo Find 7 is my secondary phone. The LG is an amazing phablet with good battery life of at least 7-8 hours SOT easily while the Find7 is poorer at 4-5 hours only because of its 2k display. Had tested several roms on Find7 n battery life quite similar. Latest Gummy rom seems better but still too early to conclude as on it half a day only. I would say Find7 is the best performance phablet I have used to date

7D-503L cannot flash it on our 501L?
I wonder why I'm having the stuttering problem.Watched a YouTube video about the difference between JB & KK using chrome seems like I have the same stuttering as the JB.I hope KK update will solve my problem.(tried other browser like dolphin also the same results)

Have failed testing 503L firmware on 501L . I remember Joytest also failed flashing
I don't n had never like Chrome which I rate to be worst Android browser a big failure from Google. It is excellent n is my only browser on my Mac. Try use other browser eg Boat or Dolphin n I had never faced such stuttering issues on YouTube

Found out some new problem with my x1...sometimes my speaker could not generate any audio output..even playing video or songs without headphone...no sound at all..have to restart phone then can hear back the sound..seems like software problem not the hardware..

Anyone encounter the same problem?...
*
Never faced such issues at all
Do send in service center to check if it persists as probably is hardware related

Had been trying to download B006 firmware past 2 days... Now on my 6th attempt. Previous 5 always got disconnected at around 250-450 MB !! Hopeless internet services from P1 at my side ( max is only 5-6 Mbps !!)
If still failed I will probably do it on my next trip to Spore ( my son's place) and tap in the higher download speeds there ( average 40-50 Mbps!)

Haven't touch this phablet a month already. Had been using it past 6 hours n still amazed at its battery life. Had been mainly on internet stuffs ( browsing, RSS, Facebook, email, tweeter n about 50+ whatsapp) battery at 28% SOT 4 hours ...if I continue this with similar usage , this means 14 hours SOT to empty

Finally managed to download the B006 firmware. Updating it was a breeze - I just copied over the dload folder to the ext SDcard and reboot the phone to install the firmware
You will see a scrolll of yellow lined text showing the installation progress

Attached Image Attached Image Attached Image

Took out the ext SDcard and restarted the phone : necessary to avoid reinstallation again as it will detect the dload folder. I rename the folder in the PC

I was prompted to update firmware again , this time to B007. Took the update and similar process started as in B006

After successful boot, I used Root Genius program to root the phablet

I read somewhere some users feedback fonts/or icons too big after the update ?? I don't seemed to notice this . It still looks the same to me
Finally reinstalled back all my stuffs through Titanium Backup. All other 3rd party added stuffs in the internal memory remained intact and only all your apps will be wiped clean only

Thanks for sharing uncle..

I'm still hoping to get official update soon.. Else, I might let go this device this month.. Now I'm still 50:50.. Love the overall features of this device especially the super long battery life, but waiting for update disappointed me

Why need to wait? Is easy to flash it yourself

Suggest you terminate the P1, it is the worst data line in Malaysia. Cannot use one. Last time I got use, pure nightmare.

I would like to but is still the best in BP. Streamyx is worse averaging maximum 1 Mbps only. No other choices available. TM Unifi due 2013 now delayed indefinitely.

What change in KK?

And any improvement compared to JB in term of smoothness?

Outlook looks the same ; seems slightly smoother but I did not test it long. Reverted back to B007 firmware since I couldn't root it. I read in the german forums some guys managed to root using Root Genius and even on VRoot. If so, no idea what happen on my set !! Set now given back to my missus and was 2 days on my hand . Will probably try again later in few days time. And those users who reported double tap to work doesn't work ? It works very well - you have to manually set it to be ON at Settings/All/Motion Control

Oh. How about U Mobile. I not sure at BP but it is great at JB,  Senai and Segamat.

U Mobile ? Cannot match Maxis n Celcom. Anyway is too expensive to use mobile data at home. Maxis example had this home package of 20-30gb ( about similar price range as P1) BUT u only can use about 80% of it only from 2am till 7am!! Ridiculous package

Sure Root genius failed but but VRoot_1.7.8 done the job partially so you can install SuperSu that will ask to replace Vroot, accept it then install Bysbox from Google play and everything will be OK..

Great news from you. Thanks

I just couldn't resist and reflashed the Kitkat version again. This time I used Vroot 1.78 to root it and it showed rooting was OK. I used an earlier version 1.72 previously and it showed rooting failed. However this Vroot seems incomplete as I found Titanium cannot be loaded fully while other app that needed root seemed fine. I installed supersu from playstore and as correctly advised I was prompted to uninstall Vroot
Now everything seemed to work fine and restoring back all my apps from Titanium was smoothly done.

My U mobile is 20gb package with no peek or off peek separation. Monthly RM 120

U mobile never put advertisement on their site, you need to ask for it.

Expensive - main reason why I don't subscribe to mobile package at home. P1 Speeds go enough for browsing n not necessary good for downloads which these days I seldom do. Only rom downloads I will do at home.

mm sound like i need backup my whatsapp

No need . Your whatsapp folder remain intact. Just reinstall it as a new app ( don't restore it from Titanium) and it will auto restore all your whatsapp data. Of course you can backup it if you wish onto your ext Sdcard
Only all data in the hidden folders ( which you cannot view ) will get deleted and that is mainly your app ( its settings etc) , some phone settings
