Does this means this phone comes with both colors(black and white) in same package ???

Re: ** ~10k mobile advice thread **

Re: ** ~10k mobile advice thread **

Nice phone. Congrats. What is your first impression?

Re: ** ~10k mobile advice thread **

When I contacted huawei for clarification they told its only flipkart who is providing extra black panel with white model.

I got my y300 today morning at 10.30am. Surprised to see the early delivery by indiatimes.
Will open the pack tonight or tomorow morning and confirm if all retail pack has the extra black back panel.

Re: ** ~10k mobile advice thread **

Congrats !!!
Black back looks dull !

Initial impression :

What i like :

Best for Rs 7980 !!
Awesome screen .
White looks good and premium look.
Camera is good for the price .
Brand value (Can expect updates and service ).
Cloud storage.
Good battery.
Notification light.
awesome built in dialer .

What i dont like

Cant play 720p :cry:

Difficult to root.
Cant customize notification light .
Caller id not in full screen .

Re: ** ~10k mobile advice thread **

@^^^
Have you tried playing 720p video by mx player.

Is screen guard present?
Does it have full sim slot?
How is default music player?

Re: ** ~10k mobile advice thread **

@shuhailnp, congrats. does the mobile have 180degree viewing angles? images do look sharp even when tilting by such a big way. i have used the G-series and the slimness remains same.

Re: ** ~10k mobile advice thread **

>Yes i tried with mxplayer but 720p lags !! (may be because cpu is set default in ondemand mode )
>no screen guard
>yes full sim slot
>default is basic huawei music player no extra effects or eq !!

@ sam : 180 ?

Strange thing is happening , my mobile is sending sms everyday likely its morning to 9971234637 . why is that ? its the second time its sending . its costing rs 1.20 everyday :-x

Re: ** ~10k mobile advice thread **

Have u tried disabling the data ?

How is the ringing quality ? Can u hear ur phone easliy when outside....

Re: ** ~10k mobile advice thread **

why disable data ?
its send sms !!

speaker sound is low ..

Re: ** ~10k mobile advice thread **

This seems set issue....Does this happen after inserting another sim too...
Can u try changing message centre number and check(Save the original number somewhere though).

Re: ** ~10k mobile advice thread **

shuhailnp said:

Its weird problem.
there is small paper mentioning....
"On Activation, your device will send an automatic SMS/Use data services to enable your warranty services for 12 month period....."
So check if its registered or not?

I just opened the box & found extra black cover in it. All white models sold in India will have extra black panels.

check if there is any Huawei specific app. also it can be (though unlikely) be sent by the update settings. checking for update maybe.

I predicted it sometime back here *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/buying-advice/143684-10k-mobile-advice-thread-27.html

A smartphone with price below 8000/- with dual core processor and Android Jelly Bean 4.1.1 with 5 MP camera going to rock.

I wanted to buy Y300 but now I changed my mind. I am looking for budget phone with 1 GB RAM. May be I will wait for G526.

Thanks!! BTW its for my sis in law. Lucky Girl got the fone just a day before her B'day. Indiatimes have improved I must say.
I hope she likes it after I spoilt her plans to get S Advance.....

Still to activate the phone but can definitely say that built quality is superb in 8k. Screen is quite glossy & finger print magnet will have to paste Screen guard ASAP.
Can anyone tell me How are SCREEN WARD Screen Protectors
Screen Protector Scratch Guard For Huawei Ascend Y300 buy online at bhavtav.com

Re: ** ~10k mobile advice thread **

@sandinator : Even i saw that paper mentioning , but sending sms everyday is sh!! !!!
@sam : its registration sms , dont know how to stop it . if i update to general version it may stop i think.

My phone have software version V100R001C151B165 but i saw update in website as V100R001C00B175,General Version , which one is new ?

8k is a surprise price for Y300 when G330 (same as Y300) still sell for 11k. only X5 Pro & Xperia Mini used to offer such H/W under 10k.

they would have better bundled a screen guard than a extra back cover.

In fact Rs.7182/- OR Rs.7022/- from indiatimes

Yes!
Most ppl will not use black panel. The sides of the fone are white & it do not match well imo. A crome/silver side border would be better.

Re: ** ~10k mobile advice thread **

Short Updates on Huawei Ascend Y300- My First few hrs with huawei Y300

Pros
1.Gr8 Display in 8k budget,
2.Very Good Built Quality,
3.Sound from Ear Piece is very clear & loud[Even same is confirmed from opp. caller]
4.Feels Premium in hand considering the budget phone

Cons
1.Volume of Loud speaker is very low even in indoors.

There will be problem in hearing an incoming call especially for ladies who put their phone in purses.
2.Memory hog.
I guess we are hardly getting 340-350mb of usable ram. After 15-20 min of handling the phone [normal phone function & not a single game]the free ram gets as low as 55mb

but never felt any lagging.
3. Found problem in registering touch sometimes

There is an update[international site] for Huawei Y300-0100 model which retails in India but when I clicked on online update no updates were found.

Hope an update may solve the above cons. :Fingerx:

G300 had same problem. Visit modaco forum and go through all the G300 threads. Not advisable but anyone brave enough to root his mobile, try this: Possible solution for low volume on ringtones. accessing build.prop most likely will require rooting or if you try to change something rooting is a must.

Android 4.1. 480X800 resolution. (my guess) a number of useless apps. And unless you multitask it won't hang. Android has smart memory management. Use FastReboot to free up ram if you ever feel the mobile has became slow.

find any Samsung mobile with dimension really close to Y300 and try that out. AFAIK, original Galaxy S got similar spec. S Duos's cover (easily available) won't fit in Y300.

i always do it that because of the frequency of flashing custom roms. try 1mobile. they are trusted site for android apps.

awesome. This is how manufacturers should increase usability.

I have used Y300 for some time now and I have felt a significant amount of stutter and lag when Apex launcher or Swipe application is used..
And have also observed screen is not very responsive.. Have to swipe thrice to pull down notification bar..
Camera is good, in well lit conditions though..

I tried but was unable to connect the phone to it. phone could be connected to Wondershare MobileGo for Android but not huawei software. You just give a try it may my WINDOZE 7 issue.

I have been thru almost all links of G526. The CpU specs are unclear, they have mentioned just Dual-core 1.2 GHz but what?? Cortex A9 or Cortex A5?
Even if it comes with their Hisilicon processor expect it to be around 15k or more that too without LTE. After seeing G510's pricing @11k highly impossible for g526 to be priced at 12k.
IMO no new phone will be added to their portfolio till last Q4[november]

Noticed a big minus for Y300.. It can't play 720p videos properly..
I downloaded this video (mp4) and tried to play it but the stock player showed 'Cannot play video'..
Then I installed MXPlayer app. The video played but was extremely choppy, way too much lag..

720p divx/xvid works in h/w mode !!! h264 naaaaa

gapps means google apps (talk, gmail and a bunch of google services). have you updated talk to hangout?

shuhailnp said:

lol who gave you that idea.. class 10 always has better speeds than class 4

Class 10 is better if u have huge files like film , raw image . especially for cameras etc . class 10 speed is seen when using big file when it come to random access speed of files (mostly small files which we use for mobiles ) speed is less in class 10 !!!! class 4 is balanced . so for Ascend y300 Class 4 is enough (comparing prices of class 4 and 10 )
