Just wondering how good the Hisilicon Kirin 910 SoC, can anyone test the INDOOR GPS. If GPS enabled, can it lock position with LTE/HSDPA+/3G but WITHOUT WiFi...?

QUOTE(joytest @ Jul 6 2014, 01:06 AM) My experience is that if you are more than 3 meters away from a large window, there will be no lock at all. AFAIK, this is true of any device. Looks like Huawei internal teams need to improve the chipset. So far, only Snapdragon SoC (800 and above) can lock location INDOOR via data and without WiFi... No need to stand next to window... MTK, Tegra and Intel suffers the same faith as Kirin... But for the price/performance ratio, it's a "MUST"-buy All-in-one-gadget of the year.... |

You can lock position even in roof-area-busy-with-many-gadgets so long as data OR WiFi is active. Hence, Kirin is as good as Snapdragon when it comes to GPS.... Just tested this device during PC Expo just now... however, the promo is boner killer... LOL... |

Any good soul to confirm whether the ROW Stock ROM, after rooted, can install "AdAway" app? Oh yea, AdAway cannot be downloaded from Google Play. Need to download elsewhere...

FYI, just now I went to KLCC. There's a Huawei Authorised Dealer/Resellers (next to Machine...). They already have B005 for 7D-501L... Go check it out... it seems that the OTA is not "active"on purpose....... Since the Europe has already pushed B102 "offline"... looks like the update process needs to be via Over-The-Counter (OTC) instead....
I don't own the X1, but H3C instead.... my Honor 3C received OTA last 2 months... wonder why Huawei (Malaysia....?) reluctant to release OTA for X1.... This post has been edited by azeemzuhair: Sep 14 2014, 08:39 PM |
