  • Hi, I have the same problem, did you solved it? Thanks

  • Great phone for our time,very interesting to use at a mid range of smart phones,l love it.

  • Had one of these for 5 Months now, absolutely brilliant for the Price. Responsive, fully functional, competes with any other phone and Dual SIM capability makes it so much more reliable for a signal anytime anywhere. The only thing I can fault is it doesn't have a flash for the camera, but the camera software and settings are very comprehensive allowing sensitivity to be set fine enough for pictures in almost total darkness. I give it a resounding 9 out of 10. Beats the hell out of the I-phone 4s it replaced.

  • dear I have a problem with wi-fi. the device is not turning on wi-fi. please help me how I can solve it. I will be thankful.

  • G525 and g510 basically is the same thing they differe on the Ram g525 came to correct the mistake on 510 so big up but its a dissapointment on us who already hv the 510

  • huawei g525

  • Problems with On and OFF : sometimes phone doesint turn on. If WiFi, GPS is on - the battery drains fast. Sometimes problems with detection and separation Internal memory from SD card.Also problem that there is no compass. All those smartphones from the cheaper companies has all the parameters and functions like the expensive ones ( HTC, SAMSUNG , IPHONE..) the only difference is the QUALITY of it and it really makes the difference. For those money that I bought that Huawei 525 I really cannot complain much , but wont be doing that again. Also will keep that phone until he is in working condition ...

  • For movies, music and files alike, you should really have the external sd card because the 4 gb internal will be 2.0gb or something because of the pre-installed apps. Your phone is JB so if you find yourself having not enough space, you can transfer the apps to your sd. Though there is a risk that you'll loose the apps if your sd card is broken and some say the time to load the app will be affected too.

  • Just Use Battery Doctor (download it from Google Play). I installed Battery Doctor so I charged the phone 5 days ago now it is 29 percent. It works really well. use task killer to close the unused apps.

  • Please try KmPlayer . download it from Google Play.

  • huawei g525 showing 4GB internal memory but i cant find that, 2) battery going out of life very soon. 3) sound not well. 4) when we call on internet sound open automatically.and cant controll.

  • what about Battery life?is it acceptable for this monitor and CPU?

  • Having major problems with the Camera. First the screen short cut disappeared a few days after purchase and the camera continues to show me an error message of having stopped. It also has poor Internet connectivity.

  • I've bought this pretty phone yesterday. I think this's a great phone with a pretty nice screen resolution in which used 245 ppi and it provides very high image performance. Its CPU is Quad core with 1.2 GHZ frequency along with 1GB APP RAM that provides very smooth application performances. At the end, please don't root this device and don't install unknown APPs on this device just because it may brick just like my lasy Huawei Ascend Y300 phone. Be successful.

  • Hey! you should try lenovo smartphones they are fast and cheap and great phones!

  • if you instal mxplayer for it you con use many format of movie.also con show sub

  • theres a problem regarding battery life for this model it will not lasts a day of continue using

  • i am confused of what phone to buy.. is it ascend G525, alcatel one touch idol mini or LG optimus L7... help me pleasee.. thanks a lot

  • any one can ask Huawei to do some research on battery technology so that they can perform well and will definitely helps to grow the company as well. or any one can just make compatible battery for huawei and sell them, i am sure that he will be successful.

  • definately go for the huawei ascend g525. It looks really good, it has a higher quality and better resolution screen. It has unlimited touchscreen vs the a706 has only multitouch up to 5 fingers. Some people say that the g525 has a bad battery life, but thats not true. I got to agree that the batery life while using the phone is not good, but the stand by time is fantastic. I tested it and after 100 hours of stand by time it still had a 99% full battery. Oh and by the way, the g525 has a graphics processor vs the lenovo has a weaker coretex a7 1.2ghz processor and no grapics processor. So overall i just wanted to say that the g525 is a fantastic phone for $189 from amazon.com . The only phone what could be better for the price is the BLU STUDIO 5.5 because it has a lower res. but bigger screen and a better graphics chip.

  • I bought this g525 3 mos. ago and i'm having some problem now on screen.when i surf the screen go dimmed but soon it goes back to normal.the worst is all pdf that i downloaded also dimmed and not posible to read. Any help pls...thank you.

  • where to buy battery here in ksa

  • how does "rooting" the phone helps improve the battery usage ?

  • My huawei g525 is going to harm when i net surf on sim card please help me to solve this problem or what can i do for

  • I bought this G525.Been using for 2weeks .It can last for a day for normal use.But for games or wifi or mobile data,do consider to buy 1 at least "Power Banks" The battery won't last for those heavy usage. Use Vroot to root the phone.If phone get heats,just buy case "http://www.lelong.com.my/huawei-ascend-g52­5-elegant-flip-cover-leather-case-pouch-kitkit85­-I1588226B-2007-01-Sale-I.htm" solved problems. so if there's people complaint about its RAM 768 instead of 1GB ,it is because the graphic takes few of it to Run the phone . Just review here "http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qi­d=20110816114917AALEt4T " . and you'll understand.

  • i want to buy a new phone and i am confused whether y511 or g525. thanks for advice

  • For those claiming about battery problem. My G525 can last 24 hours with normal usage. Newly bought G525 is a battery drainer. Root your G525 and install Rescan Media Root from play store, run and click "disable media scanner" and your G525 is in good battery life.

  • Hi,i'm having a dilemma...i wanna get a new phone, but got 2 choose from lenovo a706 or huawei ascend 525..both r quadcore phones and cheaper compare to others...umm, i like the huawei525 coz it looks stylish compare to lenovo 706..well, the only diff they had is that lenovo has led flash, and just 1k price diff..i've been reading about reviews on this 2 phones but still i cant decide which to choose, some say huawei 525 has a bad battery, and lenovo a706 had some response prob..w/c do u think should i go to?? or is there anything u could suggest that i could check into?? pls help me...

  • If you buy this mobile then you want to buy one battery additional. because i found battery problem only. except battery problem this mobile very good.

  • You are wrong. you cannot use huawei fone for 14 hours gameplay .. fone is good for its price but battery life is very bad. playing candy crush for 15 mins and 20 % battery is gone .. fone has no flash led means night time no pics. if you want to buy it with normal use its okay as talktime is good but for heavy users like Gamers its NO from myside

  • Any links on how i can root this phone?tia..

  • Battery is very very bad. Discharges in 3 hours. Don't buy it. My advice to all.

  • i bought one month back ,the battery is very bad maximum two or three hours we can use other wise phone is ok.

  • I got my g525 a week ago and i tried almost everything ,everyday i use skype with my doughter and it was excellent ,not bad at all at ds price i'm happy for having ds phone

  • Pleae let me know is VOIP is working in this phone

  • Huawei Ascend G525 -It is just a cheap china phone and the ram is not 1 gb ( at lest the phone i bought ) and the battery stand by time is 24 hrs and talk/surf time is 3 hrs only. it will work as long as it works and then gone ( just like any other common china phone )and good as long as it works fine for normal usage. but dos not hang like Samsung s duos . very difficult to find accessories (flip cover, screen protector, battery, case etc) and the case is really cheap plastic. The only good thing about is that it works with Android with Play support.

  • it is china phone dear they plan to put 1 gb and forgot to put balance 256 mb in your phone.

  • My g525 is heating near buttons (in place where sim cards are)while playing. Is it normal for this phone? In 10 mins of playing (tample run)I lose 15% of battery (battery heats up to 40C). does it hqappen to you too? Please answer, sorry for bad english

  • Hey how do you prolong the battery life?

  • The huawei in my opinion is a great phone for a great price. For the money this is the perfect phone for gaming. i tested this thing and big games like dead triger 2, modern combat 4, modern combat 3, asphalt 8 airborne, real racing 3, flight infinitive, xplane 9 ware running perfectly the only game what had any lag was Fifa 14 Another thing i noticed was that this phone has a great battery life and a great stand by time because i was gaming for around 14 hours and this phone had 43% battery charge left.

  • why the video or camera of this phone is always zoom in or zoom out.

  • er i think u need to download battery saver for longer battery

  • what should i buy,Huawei Ascend G525 or Lenovo A706?

  • Are you sure that batry is good ???!

  • Phone looks very nice but battery its very bad. Yesterday only i buy this phone. when i buy its 53% charging after come back home i put charging full and i use internet to download skype just for that battery dry from 100% to 90% then i stop the wifi and i use 10mins for testing then its drop to 83% then i put my phone said and early morning i wake up and check battery its same 83% only then i on wifi after 5mins its drop to 50% and i put charging after 5mins its charged 93%. so my final suggestion is i think the phone battery very bad. If we play games or talk sure it will worst.

  • this is a really good phone and very affordable, the battery life is not that okay but you just need to manage your use like turning off the wifi if it is not in use, or just use auto brightness.. All the specs are satisfying, you don't need to expect a lot since you can buy this for a low price.. But over all it's not really bad. I like this phone very much.

  • bought this phone a week ago. first impression was really good. the look and feel of this phone is as good as any top notch handset available in market. camera couldve been a little better, also speaker. but for the price its in the market, it is worth it!

  • nice phonand vido call skype

  • Videochat in Skype is good...

  • can anyone tell dis phone about using skype? tnx

  • where and when did you buy moto g??

  • Is flash player available or compatible on this tab?.. kindly reply..

  • At last i found mobile that good quality and affordable price

  • Is good phone please where can i.get its update

  • I've used the phone for a couple of days now, it is a very good one for the cheap price! I've experienced some battery issues as it charged in a couple of minutes to 100%, but then dropped very quickly after unplugging. I left it charging the whole night after that and the problem is fixed : the battery life is actually not that bad if you don't have too much screentime. It really misses an update to 4.3 or 4.4 which are known to improve battery life and specs use!

  • This device is excellent for its price And has some very good features like display and the ram and the processor.... And has a problem that the camera without flash but this is not a problem for all users And the battery is not very strong but the most smart phones must be charged one time at least daily.

  • Very Good mobile, cost, visual, battery

  • No flash for camera. That is a big problem.

  • Just got my new G525, I guess it is the new version because it looks different than the one in the photos, the fascia is all glass and while it looks nicer than the old version it collects a lot of dirt and fingerprints and also the responsiveness of the bottom three buttons are a little slow, however overall I'm satisfied with it so far.

  • If you niet assecoires check

  • not only you buddy i have g525 also but accesories are not available in UAE

  • Recharge your battery thru external universal charger. The PISEN brand is good. You can get battery+universal quick charger for $20 on aliexpress. Charging on the phone seems much quicker to drain and battery charged from external charger seems a lot better. That's is my observation.

  • Does anyone know if Jelly Bean 4.1.2 is the last upgrade?

And after root, handcent SMS has stopped working. Any idea why?

  • just bought this phone from a mall, but the sim slots require regular sims not mini-sims

  • It's good to see that you managed to root your G525. Please feedback if battery draining is gone on your G525 when using normally(not gaming). I purchase PISEN batter + charger on aliexpress.com and it's good as the stock battery. Here is the link:

  • ok so I managed to root it, found driver online and it worked!! I did as told and now we will check if battery drain becomes better! any idea if the chinese battery mentioned somwhere in the thread is safe for this device?

  • I think the link is dead.

  • Use this post to root your G525 and reduce battery consumption. One cause of battery draining on Huawei G525 is the android.process.media(Media Storage). Install OS Monitor from Google Play, run it, so that you will see. It is using high CPU. You can disable this by using "Rescan Media ROOT" on Google Play but you need to root your phone first. Follow the instructions on the below url to root your G525. ...;postcount=7 I successfully rooted my G525 using that method. After rooting, install Rescan Media ROOT from Google Play, run and click Disable Media Scanner. Your G525 should not draining too much now. Use QuickPic as replacement for Gallery because only new images taken from camera will appear on Gallery after disabling media scanner..

  • But i go through the review video on youtube�it shows that this phone does have 1gb of ram�

  • Thanks for this information. How about going back to automatically select 2g and 3g?

  • this model is 750mb of Ram maybe we need to root this unit and overclock too, for fine and for long battery life. i have cherry mobile burst, after the day i bought the phone, the battery life is 1 day and 10 hrs. then i decided to root the burst and overclock it, i change the rom and other thingy thing of the unit. then my battery life is up to 3 days max. playing, surfing txt and call.

  • other memory was given to graphic driver

  • Yes it only has a 750 mb of RAM!

  • im thinking that this phone doesn't really come with 1GB RAM...just only 750MB...

  • this will keep ur handset to 3G connection

  • You can see it's manual here

  • If you want to play games longer, you should connect it to charger while playing because it will really drain fast when gaming.

  • i installed some games like dead trigger, smash heat and temple run and was working fine but battery was going down very fast even if i m not playing the game. may be in background these games were running and i was having max 20 hours. now i remove all the games and my battery is fine . now its 1 day 10 hours and 13 secs and i still have 58% left more over i use skype for about half hour and u tube videos for half hour and calling time almost 1 hour till now i have battery. i would say the phone is not for gaming. otherwise battery is fine.

  • hi to all.I got it.its good.there is no hard problem with heat.but battery drain fast.and it dosent play hd mov well.in other things is good.

  • Look at my lower post for the link, it is 2600mah!

  • Hey, you mean there's a better battery for huawei g525 that we can purchase? where can we buy that?

  • If you guys are disappointed about the battery life, purchase this extended battery for battery life better than a lot of high end smart phones at the moment!

  • Having used both for a long time I would say this is better, the build quality of this phone trounces the A706 and is probably the best part of this phone. The only place where this phone loses to the A706 is the battery life, it really isn't good but there is a fix. This battery is a lot better and I will be purchasing it soon for my G525.

  • g525 and lenovo a706, which is better?

  • Yes, this unit heats up fast like after 15 to 20 minutes of playing games like Candy Crush Saga. Plus the battery drains so fast when you play games with it. I wouldn't recommend you playing with it if you're on a long road trip (like bus trip) coz your phone will just die on you. So battery life estimates you see on the specs is really not that true. Maybe this were the reasons why they sold this at a low price.

  • It's working with me.

  • I am using thus phone since two weeks and am facing problem while using net VoIP calls if I receive voice calls its hanging.You have to remove battery and restart.Battery life is good compare Samsung phones .But Battery percentage is fluctuating some time it will show 80% some after 30 min 95%.I bought it to jarir service center but no use.

  • this phone is good ? and the battery will last 24hrs ? coz i've plan to buy this phone.. help me for the reviews..

  • The wifi of g525 is just not working. do you have any idea guys. please email me at [email protected]

  • As per observing in G525.. the heating problem is not normal coz i've been using many kinds of gadgets although they heat but not that rapidly in just in 2 mins the temperature up from 30' to 49'? that was way to fast. and about the processor the specs given in the internet was QUAD core but i've seen that 2 processors is always OFFLINE. and back to the heating issue battery ain't the one that heats. I think its the processor that is heating rapidly. kindly check your lower face of your phone you can feel the heat there.

  • Hi guys! I'm planning to buy this model. Here is a list of my concerns. I'd be glad if someone would take a minute or two to answer them. Thanks! :) (1) I am aware it's a dual SIM phone. Is it a dual sim "stand-by" phone? By the term, I mean, if someone is calling me from SIM 2, I could answer it even though I'm using SIM 1. (2) I am reading a lot of comments out here that the main issue here is the easy-to-drain 1700 mAh battery. I am fully aware of it considering the cheap price. Will phone-saving mode be not effective to somehow lengthen the battery life? Also, the heating issue of the battery really scares me. Is this normal or is it just how Huawei batteries work? I've been loyal to Samsung phones for 7 years now and I can say that there are no issues in heating in their batteries. (3)Is the 1GB RAM just a hoax? What's the truth behind it? What's the total available RAM for usage? I'd be honest, it's one of the things that attracted my attention to this phone. (4) How can you assess the Quadcore chipset of this model? Is it comparable to that of Samsung's high-end Quadcore smartphones? Are you more than satisfied with it?

  • will let you inform tonight as i dont have usb cable now

  • yeh RAM is around 750. i think it is same in all models

  • We experience the same thing. I think it's normal with this device.

  • interms of specs, g525 is way better. But I don't know with the overall experience and performance.

  • Yes battery got drain fast and phone reaches up to 50 degrees celcius when continues browsing. I even tried to bring this at their service centers to ask what's wrong but they just respond that it's not shorted. I'm planning to have a replacement of it already. Who want's to buy my phone?

  • yeahh, thats true its not actually 1GB RAM.. i also experiencing the battery life of this fone..

  • Hi. Sorry. my PC is not working with the Ascend G525. the unit is not problem. im now observing the battery performance. thanks.

  • Hi. Good morning. i have now Ascend g525 unit. everything is fine!!! now, the unit cannot connect on my PC and cannot appear the folder for g525 when the USB. is there any CD or software to connect it automatically to PC? thanks

  • Huawei G525 was a good phone quad core fast boot though theirs a problem in battery life span and i also installed CPU monitoring.apk and i found out theirs not standard RAM 1G on the specs but the real RAM is 775 batterry Life Span 340hrs specs real time 12hrs even if its in stand by mode also the CPU heats from 32' to 44-50' in just 2mins. Question : thus my unit is just defective or all of G525 is like this? Regards,

  • which is better , i mean which is good huawei ascend g525 or samsung galaxy s duos?

  • Jarir have screen protector ???

  • this issue is not with me

  • Battery life is good only for normal usage. for heavy gaming can say will last only 4 to 5 hours.

  • Yeah, the battery is it's biggest cons! For me, it takes 4 hours of heavy usage to drain the battery!

  • To those who has it, how's the experience in the battery?

  • This phone is really great in terms of performance! Plus is its affordable price and it's an international brand! But draw back of this phone is the battery. We experience the same. It charged the battery very fast, like 2hours only from 0 to 100% but it also goes

  • One week hands-on ~ Found out this phone was great ! smooth navigation, affordable price with 4.5 display and fast boot feature ! look cool with matte screen protector... HD as well !

  • this phone is good..i bought this last day and i love the widgets and its easy to access..but guys, can you tell me about more the battery?.. i dont know if my charger is a fast charger or something about the battery because its so fast to full charge my phone then when its in a 100% and you check the specifications of the phone it gets to fast also to go down the life of my battery its just 100,99,98,97, down to 79 from only 5-10 mins. of checking your fone. then i charged it again in 79 % and when i go back after 3-5 mins of something and then it goes 93 %.. wow!!. is there a problem of my battery?... plss answer me..

  • does this mobile phone has a compass?

  • yeah! im posting this using g525. this phone is great!

  • It is a great budget android smartphone...two cons: 1) battery life is short under 9 hours for heavy usage, 2)no flash light and only 5 m.p. cam, not really handy.

  • Ds fon is absulotly amazing..it is designd as smart fon..not for a smart gaming. battery is actually not an issue.

  • I experienced heating issue. Battery life on stand-by is good but when you start playing games and do other processes it drains fast even with the power saving app is on. Nevertheless, it has good camera and good display. I don't recommend for gaming though.

  • A good low budget phone,dual sim,quad core,4.5 inch screen,5 mp camera, one drawback just no led flash, quite fast phone, so far so good.

  • How many ony can get fully charge ? And the battery life izzit ok?
