thinking of buying this huawei ascend p6 - Huawei Ascend P6, Mate

So as the title states.. im thinking of buying this phone soon but have acouple of questions to ask..
First off I know I wont get any 4g connection but I will be using it on at&t. What kind of data connection will I be getting? Is anyone here using this on at&t?
And second..I know this phone was just released like 2 months ago but roms/devs.. I see this phone has lots of potential to have great roms. Are there any devs or anyone thats working on any? I see cm 10.1 is in the process I think so thats a really good start.

sprint diamond question

I am planning on purchasing a sprint diamond in a week. can I flash roms even though it is cmda,not hsdpa? i was not sure since it appears my hermes only has flashing for att usa and t-mobile gsm carriers.
no response
Just wanted to see if anyone had an answer on this one? I may end up holding off on the Sprint Diamond if I cant modify it? Just wanted to know if the Diamond needs to be a gsm rather than cmda to flash the roms here on this site.
Im also very interested im thinking that it will have to be separate roms but if some one could set me straight that would be good
well
it appears no one knows the answer to our question. my guess is you cannot flash roms unless they are cmda versons. I think I will ask the same question in the Hermes section since they respond when asked a question. looking forward to getting a diamond of tpro.

Sorry for the question. I just didnt want to buy the cmda version if i couldn't modify it. with this info, I think I would be better off waiting for gsm version in the states although it seems the touchpro is coming to att soon. it sucks that only sprint and verizon are carrying the diamond except for a 700.00dollar unlocked hsdpa version at best buy but no way I am paying that for a phone. anyway, thanks again for the assistance. Have a good day.
There are CDMA ROMs starting to show up now. I just released a relatively stable one a few days ago.
thanks

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430486
Just bought a Sprint Diamond.
It came with 1.09.651.5 ROM and 1.00.00F radio.
Is this the latest out there? Can't seem to find anything newer.
Thanks.

sorry I dont have an answer to your question but I am buying the diamond next week from Sprint. how do you like it thus far? is the data network fast?
New Rom needed
Ok I have a sprint Diamond for a week now and I cannot stand the sprint Rom.
It is so slow, locks up, drives me nuts.
I love the phone and all it has to offer but I need it to run better, stronger, faster.
What ROM will work with a SPRINT CDMA Diamond?
Juicy CDMA rom appears to me, to be very stable. 2.2 is very nice, and he is planning a release of 2.4 any time now.

I love the phone so far. It's definitely the best one Sprint has had in a while.
The network is fast. Battery seems to last as expected.
Might have to get mine replaced though, one of the LED lights on the scroll wheel seems to be completely off- just a factory defect.
Much nicer than the touch.
Can't seem to figure out the latest radio version for it though.
apreciate it!

Thanks for the info. I think I might pull the trigger on this one. I with t-mobile now and just wanted to make sure the network was good. you hear alot of bad things about Sprint but they seem to claim to have the fastest 3g network. on mobile speed sites like dls, Sprint usually ranks number 1 ahead of verizon and att. thanks again.

How long do we think it will take to root?

With full access to the ROMs and EVOs now, it doesn't seem like it will take long to me. Do any informed experts have any ideas?

took me 7-8 hours to root the samsung moment once we got a copy of the leaked android 2.1....this phone is setup completely different and i dont physically have it to test anything.
im doing some research and hope to figure out a solution, but it'll be hard for me to test it for sure.
if anybody else has some insight with previous HTC and android experience, that'd be great to hear some other opinions?!
or maybe an HTC phone with similar file system structure which was rooted?
joey do u plan on getting this phone? i had a moment but was lucky enough to get the evo off someone that went to i/o.....it would be awesome to have your kernels working on this bad boy!!!

yea, im heavily considering it. i qualify for my upgrade so for $199 and giving up a hardware keyboard for all the great hardware features this has, i think its worth it!
i hope to be able to compile a few kernels for you and everybody else

ah dont even worry about the onscreen keyboard it takes a second to get used to it. that was the reason why i picked the moment over the hero but i still found myself using swype lol. as of now im just using the htc keyboard and its pretty slick so far just have to train the dictionary.
i work for sprint, my indirect rep came in with his evo the other day and so i installed swype 1.25 on it. FREAKIN. AWESOME. also, MAD props to joeykrim. i have the moment and he has done SO many wonderful things with it. but it looks like im going to htc...
EDIT: joey, i would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to see you move to the evo and see what that genius brain can cook up. if you ever need a tester, im all over it. been with you on sdx since the days you and speedrabbit were bustin down and fixing 1.5.
IM getting the EVO day of release and maybe another for testing. Let me know when you want to get this thing a try. i just hope it doesn't brick XD
knowing joeykrim, once he gets his grubby hands on an Evo - it'll be rooted there soon after.
glad to see some familiar names over here guys...
Looks like the question has just about been answered :>

Old school Palm devs working on it... even without details released, I'd stake my farm on it being 100% legit.
Important note - I have no farm .
HTC Evo 4G rooted in record time
http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/24/htc-evo-4g-rooted-in-record-time-video/
Yeah but in case you guys haven't heard the shipped 2.1 rom you guys get may not be final. Sprint could easily push an update to close off root. Just look in the hero section, the final 2.1 RUU is still not able to be rooted by our best devs. Im not trying to worry anybody but it is a possibility.

CDMA Desire

Is there any possible way to get a forum for the CDMA Desire? I just switched from Verizon to US Cellular and this its driving me insane. The Mesmerize has it's own forum and that's not as important as this. At least the Fascinate and Mesmerize are both CDMA. Please I'd even be willing to do the work to help make it. And before anybody here decides to say something stupid like just get a Mesmerize, if that's what I wanted I would have. Keep those comments to yourself. I had a Fascinate, I wanted to go back to HTC.

looks like you beat me to the thread. it would be nice to have a seperate forum for the cdma desire. its disappointing seeing all these threads for new roms that only work on the gsm desire. It's almost impossible to find a rom for the cdma desire. is CM6 the only thing out there? i switched from a nexus one to a desire only because i cant get 3G with the nexus one on the network here in alaska
I'm running a stock deodexed rom with A2SD. I'll post the link tomorrow. At work right now. There's not a lot but I hear CM is very stable on this. I might try it. Hopefully the mods notice this thread. It's hard for me, I had the Incredible, DX, and Fascinate so I'm used to everything being right there.

yeah man tell me about it. Now its like 98% percent of whats out there wont work with the bravoC. makes me want to go back to my N1 but im liking my 3G . id be happy with a non rooted sense 2.2 rom. one can only wish
I would LOVE to have a cdma Desire forum. For many ACG carriers the Desire is the flagship phone, really sad to see it not getting much love on XDA.
The following Roms are available for BravoC: They are all AOSP because there is no sense froyo rom to use as a base; personally I hate sense and much prefer AOSP.

Did you have a T-mobile frequency Nexus One? I would have thought the ATT one would work fine up here.

i bought the TMobile one on day one so i was out of luck. I prefer not to be on ATT. I have cable, internet, wireless from the same company so i get a discount. plus with this company theres no cap on my wireless data usage or no bandwidth cap on my home internet, which is a plus
edit: just saw you're from anchorage, i have gci
if you have GCI you DO have a data cap on your cable modem. Those assholes got rid of unlimited traffic cable modems in august.

i dont want to highjack this thread
i've had unlimited since march 08 and it's still unlimited. i believe thats only for new customers, just like ATT did with their monthly cap. It doesn't affect you if you had it before, at least from what i was told from a buddy of mine using ATT
Bump. Come on people great device with lots of support so how about some CDMA love.
Comment deleted - bah xda app... processing... processing
I am not being rude but, why not try sending a pm to one of the forum admins with this request? May be more productive than just talking about it
I agree with what has been said... the forum would be less cluttered and as a result, it would avoid a lot of confusion on this matter.

Agreed and I'm not normally one to clutter or post nonsense but I figured I'd give *****ing a try because I know of people that have pm admin already to no avail. I will try it though.
Sent from my CDMA HTC Desire
If PM'ing doesn't work, we can just make a new thread in the wrong forum and wait for a moderator to come across it to move it. that way it WILL get noticed right away
bump.
If there's a forum for each of the samsung galaxy S phones, those are the same phones just on different networks right? correct me if im wrong. That being the case, im sure there can be a BravoC forum. Everyday it feels like im looking at a forum for a phone i don't own. Which is half true.

[Q] Upgrade

My upgrade is coming up in 15 days, and I'm thinking about getting a new phone. Which Verizon phone do you guys think would be the best either out now or coming out soon? Should I wait a bit for phones that would be more an upgrade over what I have now? I think I'll probably stick with an HTC Android phone, but I could also go with other types.
im assuming you have the dinc since you posted here and didnt mention what phone you have. if you have 4g, get a tbolt or the new samsung if you just have to upgrade NOW! If you can wait though, i would do it, i dont think any of the phones are really all that great right now compared to the dinc, plus we have a ton of support. all in all, its up to you, i wouldnt trade my dinc for anything yet though since we dont have 4g in wichita yet.

[Q] No custom ROMs for this device?

Hey Peeps,
I have been an Android user since Nexus One itself but never stumbled upon a phone without any ROMs except this one. Am I missing out something? Why aren't they in development?
Please do let me know if they exist cause I was thinking about taking the initiative of making one.
There are no roms under development I think so..... So u should go for it ??

What the good news this morning... go for it dude! we'll support you... and don't forget for LTE model also... :laugh:
I think so. No AOSP Rom for Note 3 Neo up to now although its was issued 4 months ago :laugh:. I like the design, S-Pen, battery life, price and its performance but I have never seen any hi-end deviced before with no both custom ROM and recovery like it (N750 - hl3gxx).
I think we have to wait or study to build myself . I have just bought a second-hand Nexus 5 to feel 4.4.3 Rom beside N750. :laugh::laugh:
