[Q] Phone Count - Huawei Ascend Mate 2

This thread is simply to count the people who have the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 so the dev's will realize how popular (or unpopular) the device is. I've had the HAM 2 since it came out and have been waiting for rooting methods to come out, but I can't find ANY info on it.
I came from the OnePlus forums, and just recently made my account here so don't hate if I did something wrong, just let me know.

Got one as well....i really like this phone but i'm waiting for that kit kat hopefully

Had mine about 4 weeks now
You can have my HAM2, when you pry it from my cold dead fingers!
I love this thing!

Mine 3 days old
Still on the first charge lol. My iPhone 5s has only -4hrs screen time, the HAM2 is a beast.
It is not all about processor as long as it has no lag one bit and not one app crashed on mine.
For $299 and get $30 T mobile unlimited all prepaid plan, I just wish I can cancel my grandfathered unlimited plan on at&t. Never turn my wifi ON and every month Minimum of 20gb data
I just don't know yet how to mirror my netflix on HAM2 to my chromecast?

Just go to the netflix app and there should be a chromecast icon at the top. I use it every night!

To mirror the entire phone display I'm pretty sure you need to have a separate adapter just for that.
The only way to cast a chrome tab (from a phone) is to enable a setting only available in KitKat. Just another reason to find a Root+ROM.

Please Devs!!!
Please Devs root this phone for us. It is awesome.

Agree!!! would love to see some development. How cool would Cyanogen be on this phabulous 6.1" screen! :good::good:

Hello all,
I think we may need a bounty to get root! We've already started thinking about it in the old P6/Mate 1 thread. Anyone else in?!

Yessir
I registered just to voice my support for this phone. And I use the case that came with my preorder though I do have the black back.

Another owner here. I absolutely love my ham2. I'd put something down on a bounty if that happened.

Got one

Another owner checking in. Love it and waiting for root eagerly

Root plz. I really miss screencasting.

I have had this phone since it launched in the US. I love it, but I wish that it could be rooted.

It could be rooted, it just seems that we need to pitch in for a bounty so that a developer could do it for us.
There doesn't seem to be any developers on our phone, and none of the existing root methods for any other phone exists.

Got one when released in the US.

I would, but I seem to be having the same issues. I downloaded the apk before buying because I saw this crap in the reviews. If it weren't for the fact that people who actually BOUGHT the game are getting screwed with the same issue, I would say that this is some super effective form of DRM...

I FINALLY got it working. I'll rip and upload the data ASAP.
Looking forward to it. For the life of me, I can't get it to download the data.
And for some reason, this game just seems so expensive. I guess the 10 cent app sale has been spoiling me.

$2 for Sonic CD? That's a deal, I think! Can't wait for the data files to be uploaded, I can get mine to download. And before anyone gripes about it being piracy, NO, we are not sharing the app, just the data it has to download after being installed.

ebay repair service

hi, ive looked through ebay and ive found this screen repair service on ebay for 40 pound, they replace just the glass, they say aslong as your touch and lcd are fine then this will fix your cracked screen, has anyone used this service? he seems to have good feedbacks on the repair, would anyone else trust him and send there phone away? im a bit worried about sending my phone away lol but i really need it fixed and 150 pound for the screen lcd and digitizer is far to much.

Don't forget to do complete data wipe and remove sd card before you send off
Well obviously his feedback is good so thats always a good start.
My advice is to send it to him recorded delivery so then you can track it online and know when hes got it.
Also pay for tracked delivery to return the item back to you aswell.
Also as mentioned above make sure you do back everything up to a computer first and do a complete factory/data wipe aswell so all your personal stuff is safe.

MT2L03 CyanogenMod Support

Well, on the heals of the announcement that our excellent device is now DOA due to lack of manufacturer support (ugh, AND I JUST BOUGHT THIS THING 3 WEEKS AGO!!!!!) I have decided to start a device request over with the CM team...
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/101462-huawei-ascend-mate-2-mt2l03-device-request/
We have the same SoC as the HTC Desire 816 - not apples to apples but atleast there should be some commonality for certain areas - so hoping we can get something started. Please light up the device request so we can try to get some buzz.

Where did you see that Huawei announced there will be no device support for our US model? If this is the case I will get rid of mine today.
They confirmed no KK, see thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/confirmed-kitkat-t2921399
And even their US offices aren't being given any info about any other updates, i.e. Lollipop. :crying:

Hell, I've had it less than 30 days. I'll return it to Amazon and get my money back.
I just signed up on the CyanogenMod Forums (I thought I already was, but I guess not) . I'll keep an eye on over there as well.

NM I see you already did
I'm not against custom ROMs obviously, but I hope you realize they don't care about device requests. The only way we'll get one is if some random nice developer (like Modding) comes along and decides to help.
We'll just have to wait and see (...again) what those developers that got a free Bait2 at BABBQ are going to do. That is, if they're going to do anything.

Skrillex Smart cases!?

https://store.google.com/magazine/skrillex_live_case_magazine
Look nifty to me.. Seems it adds a button on the back with sudo lg3/4 functionality, at the very least, an extra hardware button for use.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Button is a cool idea. Designing them for 6-year-olds, not so much. But then again, judging by the photo they used, I am about as far away from the target market as you can get (thankfully).
I ordered one so well see if its crap or not.

Made for Android
Each Skrillex Live Case is individually numbered and comes with built-in smarts. A customizable shortcut button gives you one-touch access to your favorite stuff. You can set it to launch the phone’s camera, open any of your apps or, of course, go to Skrillex’s site.¹

I dont really understand how that is supposed to work though.
I ordered and received the Space Shield case today. Quality is okay from a case perspective, but the quality of the art on the back is done really well.
The live wallpaper and general setup of the case is done through an app called Live Case that's hosted by Google Marketing in the Play Store (not where the rest of Google's apps are hosted). There doesn't appear to be any other way to get the live wallpaper without it (yet).
I haven't seen the wallpaper during the day, but so far the night mode is pretty neat. The most flexibility you can get out of the button is to have it open an app for you, which I've assigned to a custom App Factory app from Tasker.
I'll probably use it for a few days and then go back to one of my other cases. I'm not a Skrillex fan either, I just thought the idea was cool.
Why doesn't Google actually sell cases that protect your phone? I don't understand that.

Now I want a live wallpaper of earth.

Yes, a little, but not much at all.
Locked screen launching is a negative.

I don't remember living in a world where glass has a problem with spontaneous combustion. Phones get cracked or scratched either during the shipping process, or due to user error. They just don't develop scratches by themselves.
It is possible there was a hairline fracture in the glass, and while using it, it may have spread to be more noticeable. However a phone that is in pristine condition when unboxing, stays in said condition until there is user neglect.
so was this a scratch or a crack?

Either you are a troll or just trying to bash the nexus brand or maybe telling the truth. But 99.9% of the time screens just don't "crack" or "shatter" for no reason, if that were the case, how come even the low budget phones don't crack or shatter out of nowhere? But it's just a coincidence this phone shatters?

Your carrier advised you that glass cracks by sitting on the table when nobody is around? If that is what you understood from the memo, I am surprised the carrier still hasn't fired you. Now take your non sense elsewhere.

people keep complaining of "cheap Chinese crap"... This isn't the case. You are misinformed and need to do some research if you believe this. Yes, it's made in China. With Gorilla Glass 4. I wasn't aware Gorilla Glass' strength changed depending on the country it was assembled in.

If that is indeed the case his phone must have been defective when it left the factory, this post would go in the 'My phone is defective' thread. I have touched my screen with various degrees of pressure and no cracks have appeared, my phone is not defective. Anyhow the long and short is we don't need a new post for every single issue, spontaneous or otherwise.

You should learn to read. the Carrier has put the advisory not me.
They have advised us that some nexus 6p owners have reported that the glass panel has cracked spontaneously.
- Points to Mention to the Customer
- we are aware that a small portion of Huawe Nexus 6p customers may be experiencing this issue
This is on Rogers in Canada

Bwahahahahahahaha..... Spontaneously bent. That is hilarious.
In total we've owned 10 smartphones over the last 6.5 years. Never has any glass cracked or shattered except one. Droid 2. Was less than a month old and in my wife's purchase. Something hit the screen and caused a tiny crack in the glass and lcd. Fought like hello get it fixed under manufacturer warranty as I hardly call that abuse but to no avail had to go through insurance.
Point is, these are sensitive expensive electronic devices. Even throwing into your pocket with keys in your pocket can cause some damage to it. It's not the manufacturer's fault. I honestly can't believe how people treat their devices. Some don't even realize what they do can damage it. (like my wife just keeping it in her purse.... With 10 different things that can bang into it.) unfortunately we as a society have higher expectations, but have lower expectations for our own actions.
I'm not saying anyone deliberately caused damage and is trying to milk the system (as some do)... But take a closer look at what you do with your device daily. You don't rub your keys against your TV do you? You don't toss your computer on the counter. Unless you can honestly say you have babies the device in cloth since cell minute 1....stuff happens.
