Possible bugs!

- When the wifi open and screen is off phone reboots.
- Some phone gets imei=0 (please backup your imei)
- Not sure but I have network issues. Sometimes my phone gets "unreachable" state even I have 4 bars.
- There is a widget problem, "The widget loading problem" after each reboot.
- On calls your sound is very husky. You can try to solve changing build.prop "ro.config.dualmic=true" to "ro.config.dualmic=false"
- Some users reported screen lag, freezes and and glicthes.
- Sound (your sound from calls) not very good.
- Widgets get "The problem loading widget" on every reboot.
- Haptic feedback not work on capatitive keys.


Warnings!
- There is no safe way for downgrading.

Downgrading!
I go back to cm7 like this;

- Copy B138 dload to internal memory - This is important.
Power off your phone go to pink screen. Notice: you can't go the pink scren without sd-card. So, after copying dload directory insert sd card.
- Go to pink screen
- In pink screen, I replace all the files from my 2.2 backup. (If you don't do that, downgrade not work. Its failed step 2/2)
- Remove sdcard from phone and start the B138 update like always.
- After installing phone should open normally.
- Once your phone open normally, you can install cwm and flash any rom you want it.
I noticed cwm data backups not works, I don't know why its not worked. Maybe some experience person can explain that to us.

- Please notice, Even if this version worked on my phone, that doesn't mean it will work for you. You can try, I'm not responsoble of anything

Guys i don't understand how you still waste your time with these ****y official releases. Miui, oxygen or cm7 are better, faster and less problematic.
The only good thing of this **** official release is the cam quality.

Do you think this is argument enough?

Huawei sucks and this is showing their respect hour their clients.
No client support at all, ****y releases just to throw sand to users eyes. **** them.

Why the corn do you care or even worse why the pear do we have to see your ****? It doesnt mean its not working or worth give a try if it doesnt work for you.

For me its the only one with working wifi, nor cmw miui or oxygen worked that well. While on miui i did get a imei 0 and replaced board already.

So stop giving nonsense advices, stop treating others like a child and do your own business.

Watermelon, I dont get this kinda guys.

Its not strange at all!!!please please please fellow users of the pHone, start reading the whole threads! Every thread in every section! Stop the off topics please! It seems that there are basic differences in hardware for the same version of the ideos! U8800 atmel or u8800 synaptics. Also there is the u8800-51,u8800PRO and the U8800+

To sum up;this god damn official release works almost flawlessly for the synaptics u8800 devices,if you don't own one of these sell it,change it, throw it to the bin,return it to Huawei headquarters OR STICK TO THE DAMN FROYO AND THE PERFECT FROYO-BASED XDA CUSTOM ROMS!don't care!

Leave this thread clean for all of us ,lucky ones, with the right HardWare to discuss about it! I know it sucks but this is not the 1st time someone makes a bad purchase. Sorry for the long talk ,just tired of having continuous notifications of useless and non-relevant replies.
Period.

Iremise re partakia kai meis poy exoyme atmel u8800 (poy einai idio kinito) kai eimaste kai polloi tha paroyme to poylo dld? asto mpas kai to ftiaksei o kinezos kai xaroyme kai meis

Thats a selfish opinion there are many people with atmel u8800 which is the same phone, not pro or something else. So if it can be fixed this is the right place to comment.

It seems there are two different touchscreens on u8800. Atmel and Synaptics.
Atmel touch seems to be problematic with luggy lockscreen and slow response. Also if your phone has atmel you will experience very sensitive touchscreen on the 2.3. official release. The newer releases of ideos x5 with synaptics touch seems to work fine even with the 2.3.5 official. I ve heard you can go with your warranty and have your atmel touchscreen changed for free because its problematic but im not sure if they will do it in greece where i live is there anyone who has done it?
