Guest tcpaulh Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) So sedj confirms that a binary compare of the official vodafone UK update on the huawei website shows it is exactly the same as the NZ release. This is very disappointing Bugs include :- ICS slowdowns (memory management?) Apps not responding mountpoint issues (defaulting and switching back to internal storage) no hardware accelerated ui despite dozens of promises broken dictionary ...and basically an OS that performs much much worse than ICS on devices with half the power eg the san francisco. If they roll this half assed effort out OTA then I think we should make ourselves heard Contact Huawei:- https://twitter.com/HuaweiDevice http://www.facebook.com/huaweideviceuk Edited September 19, 2012 by tcpaulh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mack_ Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) We have well and truly been screwed with update but on the bright side we have managed to have great devs working on the device and people using the device aswell... we dont even need their crappy ics update anymore ... If you can call it that <br /> Edited September 18, 2012 by mack_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Redflake Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 If were mentioning the san francisco. It's worth remembering that had it been up to ZTE/Orange it would still been on that horrible Orange infested froyo rom. It was only the devs on Modaco that gave us all the wonderfull roms. Plus it got official CM7 support. In comparison we've had 4 updates for the UK version of the G300. We may not have the best rom yet but I'm sure the devs will come up with the goods. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth remembering that had it been up to ZTE/Orange it would still been on that horrible Orange infested froyo rom. Even worse than that, Orange never even gave a Froyo update, the blade was stuck on Eclair (2.1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest popoyaya Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I get less than half the Antutu scores on my Blade, 1700 vs 3800 on my (overclocked) G300, yet the Blade feels twice as fast and smooth. Testamant to the superb developers that have worked on it the past two years. It feels like Huawei have deliberately crippled the G300's firmware to encourage upgrading. Let's hope the developers here can get this phone running at it's true potential! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Colin Whiteside Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I doubt they deliberately crippled it, I'd bet it's more likely they designed the thing with Gingerbread in mind and threw an ICS update in to sweeten the sales pitch without actually putting the resources aside to deal with it.

Guest popoyaya Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 How can we test for hardware acceleration? It's obvious we don't have it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Davidoff59 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 3d is working so there play on words covers them. Remember they kept stating hw acc UI support etc but would never answer a direct question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Colossae3.23 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 install chrome for android and in adress bar type : chrome://gpu-internals .... You will see what accelerations you have working ... thanks djuroue, that's something I didn't know For what its worth: I have the 940 repack (daz's) and when put that into chrome, I found that Hardware acceleration is enabled in HTML, 3D, and WebGL multisampling But it is disabled in WebGL and unavailable for Canvas I'm also using omegamoon's kernel, which interestingly shows up as the os. I thought the rom was the os? But, I'm lost on this stuff anyway :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest unaszplodrmann Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 They actually shipped an update with knackered dictinary support? Am surprised Google let them get away with that. Roll on Tizen. ... Oh wait, Huawei have a stake in that too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tcpaulh Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) Does it even pass CTS No seriously I'm going to check when I'm back Well I'd finished downloading CTS and the media pack before Huawei pulled the release so I'm giving it a go from Windows. Phone goes crazy. It's currently doing all sorts of graphics tests. Scratch that, it's now taking pictures. Shutter going like the clappers. Fun. Oh god, now it's playing all sorts of cheesy music. Edit: Anyone who wants a play:- Follow http://source.androi.../cts-intro.html Tips Make sure adb and java are in your path environment variable I installed to d:\cts and made a .bat file in the android-cts/tools directory to launch it containingjava -cp ddmlib-prebuilt.jar;tradefed-prebuilt.jar;hosttestlib.jar;cts-tradefed.jar -DCTS_ROOT=D:\cts com.android.cts.tradefed.command.CtsConsole Then from the console that pops up you can list tests with "list plans" Then "run cts --plan xxx" where x is the test to run eg Android Edited September 19, 2012 by tcpaulh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
