Hello Xda
Today I got the Huawei Ascend G7-L01. It's a decent smartphone but I think mine has a defect. I can not seem to establish a stable connection with my home network (wifi) when I'm standing beyond 1 meter away from the Internet modem. I literally have to sit right next to the modem in order to have a poor- to decent connection (-70 -60 dBm)
I've looked all over the web to find a solution with no success. There is nothing on the G7-L01 so I looked for WIFI problems with other Huawei products with relatively same issues. From my understanding, the G6 had a similar problem and was solved with a firmware update in most cases. Unfortunately there is no update for the G7 yet. So I can safely assume that this is a software malfunction rather than a hardware defect. I will return the device back for a full refund if there is no solid fix for this problem. I do not want to wait months before Huawei addresses this issue and proposes a solution (like the G6)
Things I've tried to far:
Restarted device.
Restarted Modem.
Changed WIFI channels (originally I set it on CH 11, changed it to CH 2 and then finally to CH 7)
Installed third party WIFI connectors/analyzers
Disabled WPS on web UI.
Disabled device option "Avoid poor connections"
Disabled/enabled device option "WI-FI optimization" (Minimeze battery usage when Wi-FI is on)
Factory reset device.
Contacted Huawei Support (waiting for a response)
Any more suggestions would be appropriated. Guides, Videos, tutorial, tips & tricks, how-to's etc.

Device deemed DUI - offered new replacement. Case closed.
I returned the device back to the store and they deemed it DUI (defect) so they offered a new one free of charge. Case closed. thanks for your time.

My home network working fine in two weeks with my G7 modell.
In this link are all available updates for the Huawei Ascend G7 http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=950563
Not with the watch/band itself, but trying to pair it with my current smartphone.
I'm currently using an Elephone P8000 phone. I'm quite happy with it, but now I'm starting to hate it a bit. Last week I received a brand new Huawei Honor Band Zero, a new entry level smartwatch/sports band from the Chinese manufacturer.
The watch pairs in seconds with my prior smartphone, a Xiaomi Redmi 1s, and thanks to that I know it is working, but not with the phone I need it to. First I thought that maybe Huawei Wear, the app used to get data from the watch and set it up lacked support for it, since it's quite new, but today I have recieved an update from Google Play Store and, even if the app added a lot more functionality to users of Honor Band Zero, it's still not working with my P8000.
In fact, I was able to pair them once last week, after trying almost 50 times within a 48 hr. period. But then, the first time I got too far from the phone while wearing the watch, it lost connection and I haven't been able to pair them again.
I've tried everything: latest firmware from Elephone, apps which (falsely) claim to improve Bluetooth, adding the watch as a Smart Lock trusted device, etc. and nothing works. I can pair with the Redmi 1s every time I try, but it always fails with the P8000.
I've noticed that when I turn BT on the Redmi 1s and it pairs with the watch, I can see the watch exposes an input device profile, but that doesn't ever appear on the P8000, so I guess that should give me a clue, but in fact I'm clueless right now. And I like the damn watch and don't want to return it.
Any ideas?
Have you tried wiping the cache/data in the Bluetooth app on the phone... Go to app manager, Bluetooth and wipe. This worked for me with my Sony smartband talk. Just an idea

Yes, I also tried that, and I uninstalled and installed the huawei app too. Nothing helps. Now I'm going to flash the latest phone firmware and check again. Fingers crossed.
Did you tried other roms? I have one p8000 running eragon rom.. I just dont have that device to test on it

I have already tried Eragon 5.5, 5.6 and 5.8. Now I'm on latest stock rom from 11/05, and it doesn't work with any of them. I haven't tried the FlyMe rom yet, since I didn't want to loose the fingerprint sensor functionality.
Still no luck. I've updated Huawei Wear app to the latest version, as well as phone firmware, and nothing seems to work. As I previously said, about two or three weeksago I managed to pair the phone and watch once, but I'm afraid I was just extremely lucky, since that hasn't ever happened again.
Compatability:
It supports Android 4.4.4 / iOS 7.0 or above system. how about your phone?

The phone runs on Android 5.1.1 with Bluetooth 4.0, so it should be supported. And, in fact, it did work once, but just that one and only time.

maybe there are two methods you can try,
1. Reset the watch. If you use it to connect with other phones, reset maybe a nice method to solve this problem.
2. Firmware Upgrade. Huawei should have offer the Firmware.

1. I've already tried resetting the watch several times, both soft and hard reset, and every time it will connect flawlessly with the Xiaomi phone, but not with Elephone P8000.
2. I check everyday for firmware updates when I pair it with the Xiaomi Redmi 1s, since the Huawei Wear app can do it, but there hasn't been any update yet.
Thanks for the suggestions. Now I can only wait for a solution from Elephone or Huawei. I've written to both companies support service email addresses, but I haven't received any answer yet, which is quite frustrating.

yeah. Smart watches get troubles quite a lot.
Mission complete. I can't blame the smartphone this time, but the watch. Yesterday I paired it with my old phone and a firmware update for the watch popped up. Among other things I could see in the changelog that they claimed they had improved the connection algorithm in order to be able to connect to more devices. I applied the update and now the watch and the Elephone P8000 are working together without trouble, and every time I get far from the phone and the watch looses connection, it connects automatically the next time they get close eough.
Hi just to ask i can connect the Honor Band Zero with my phone, it works well very well.
But i can't make it Trusted Device in Smart Unlock. Any idea?
it shows other devices but not this watch in the setting menu.
Device Info:
Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 LTE (S7275R) - CyanogenMod 13
Me 2 I have huawei p7 and honor band zero. Why can't I use smart unlock with my phone? Find it ridiculous!

Hi
Apologies if this is the wrong place for my question. I cant see how to post in [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly].
I am using a Huawei P8 Lite as my internet connection. Whether its tethered or on wifi, it randomly connects and disconnects.
From what I've seen here it appears to be an Android issue. People have been told to move to a later version. Please can someone tell me how to do that? I have tried through the standard updater and it just comes back and says that its already up-to-date
Version it shows Android 5.1
Alternatively, if there's another way to make the connection stop dropping, please can someone tell me how.
I have looked for every kind of setting including timeouts but found nothing.
I really appreciate any help
Thanks
Hi
I bought a huawei band 2 and have and issue with stabilizng the connetcion. It doesn't connect to original app at all and even if used third party and paired it after 5000 trials it does not stay connected. It dispaires itself and does not repair. More 5000 trials are needed to establish temporary connection.
I used this band with nexus 5 without an issue. I am sure that's the problem with this huawei p8lite soft. Information about soft version in an attachment.
Is there any way to fix this permanently ? Maybe some custom software? I need to mention that if I had to change to CWF(like i do with my phones), everything needs to be working smooth, because it's phone of my GirlFriend. I heard of many issues connected with upgrading soft of this phone like GPS or camera disablity.
Huawei Mediapad M3 LITE 8 WIFI CPN-W09
Regarding the above device does anyone know if it's possible to enable a multi user mode whereby the guest user would have limited access as set by the main user. I'm aware this is not officially supported so would I assume mean rooting the device. Any feedback would be appreciated even if it's to say it's a lost cause.
Many thanks
Anyone, really there must be somebody on here that uses this device and can unequivocally say either way.
I use this device, it is unrooted, and as you say you can't add multi user accounts.
