I proceeded to buy a 32GB SD card and I set it as the default storage location yet it still said 'insufficient storage'. Also I've had problems with the charging port and it no longer charges. This phone is only suitable for those who don't use it continully.

  • I have this phone for last five years, and I newer had problems with Huawei Ascend Y300. Great phone.

  • My ascend y300 is working perfect from the beginning.Never had any problem with it. Okay it is not the summit of smartphones but is worth it's price. After unlocking and rooting and trying several customs roms , it is even better. Best phone untill nw for the price I paid for it

  • Don't get. EmotionUI makes the phone nigh unusable, and most modern apps aren't supported. Also in all of my ownership, I never found a reliable source or instructions as to how to root it or change the OS to fix these problems.

  • Hi. I have the P300 Ascend. I also have a 64 gb sd card fitted. I have the sd card as the default storage location. When I try to upload a 10 MB App. to my phone I get the message "Insufficient Storage" .....Any ideas please. The sd card has 30 gb space left.

  • To those who are complaint this phone is garbage, you must be not aware about this phone. Huawei Ascend Y300 was released on 2013 anrs I bought it at the month it eas launched. To be honest, it was a good mid-end budget phones with just limited internal storage. 95% apps during that time/year doesn't not require a high RAM used, unlike nowaday apps. And if you just bought it nowadays, you should already know this phone is already OBSOLETED device for nowaday apps. I used it since I bought during the launched month until last two month, when I accidentally step on it (it was a heartbreak-_-). The only poor about this phone is the battery life and keyboard problem. This phone is great, along with its camera. :)

  • How can i do when i on the phone it says settings has stopped until all apps. So help what is the main course?

  • this fone is worlds no. 1 worse fone .it does not support some application .

  • my phone when i on it? It will just be boost and he did not display

  • My phone running slow

  • This phone is a nightmare. I had it like 1 and a half year and it didn't work properly anymore. It was very slow and sometimes it didn't start anymore. The battery was low in a short time and it didn't had much room for pictures and apps. The apps also didn't want to update anymore.

  • clean your registry for android and it will work must faster

  • My huawei ascend y 300 have a problem of the apps if I want to view the app it say (e.g) media is stop.so what must I do

  • This phone is so fast

  • how to make fast this y300 or all unit in huawei is very slow too...

  • Have u seen the processe of this phone

  • This phone is soooooo sloooooooooooooooowwwwwww

  • How To Reboot When Not Rebooting And What Software

  • Turn off Javascript.

  • My Phone Ascend Y300 cannot type, save a new contact or chat because its android Keyboard has stopped. What is the way forward?

  • Great phone..

  • mine broke within 1 week

  • For some reason the Chinese input on my Huawei Y360 has disappeared. Does anyone know how to re-establish it as a keyboard setting?

  • this phone sucks

  • I ported from Vodacom to Telkom Mobile with my Huawei Y300. I think I made a mistake porting while using Huawei Y300 coz now I cannot send an sms using this phone eith a Telkom Mobile starterpack. Where can u really change the Message Centre Number on this device. I googled but I found out that with this device there no place where u can adjust the Message Centre Number onn the Message Settings. If really u can't do that then.............why buy the phone in the first place. I think I need another brand on a mobile phone????????!!!!!

  • Skype is now incompatible with this phone and specs.

  • Extremely slow, it takes 26 seconds to load the front page of the Telegraph newspaper website !!! everything else is just fine.

  • don't buy this phone..it will work ok when you just buy it but after a few months it will show it's true color. it lags a lot. the browser as well as some other apps just keep crashing repeatedly. the only good thing about this phone is its durability. it can withstand a lot of falls. mine fell about 10 ten times till it cracked, and the crack is still a minor one. If you want performance, don't buy this phone. In my oppinion, you should only get this phone if you want a simple smartphone to do basic stuff one at a time and for durability.

  • To turn off predictive text goto Settings > Language & input > Android Keyboard Settings > Advanced Settings. Then Uncheck Word Prediction.

  • The front camera stopped working a few months after purchase and with time it got very slow.

  • I have had this phone for 2 years and it was good to start of with but then it got slower and slower. Also it would not download to the micro SD I installed and then it just didn't download anything at all. All in all I think this is a good first phone or if you just want to use it to call and text but any other uses you are better of with a different phone.

  • anyone know how to turn off predictive text on this phone

  • explain further

  • I Just found a $19.99 smartphone with better specs than this. it makes me sad that i have put up with this horrid phone for 2 years just to learn i could get a better one for 28% the price of the Huawei Y300 when i bought it.

  • The fact that you are using Skype on your phone already tells me what the problem is/was.

  • Hi,anyone help me,my phone android system error.what can i do now???? Please answer me....

  • Check your data usage, reset it

  • Check your data usage, reset it and tbv

  • I bought this phone 2 years ago, bad mistake, do not take it neither for free. This "Smart"phone will have problem with any app, either clock too sometimes loose syncronization. Yesterday I tried to open facebook ....37 times pop msg "do not respond", it took 12 mins

  • bought this phone just over a month ago. Had good reviews for a cheap phone. This morning the phone rang, battery was on 54%. Phone died. Will not switch on. Charging doesn't work. Thought it may've been just the screen that died, but ringing it from a different number states The number is not accessible, therefore its the whole phone that died not just the screen

  • I have been using this phone for more than 2 years now. I dropped it several times, but it still worked. I dropped it yesterday, face down.. the screen broke. Lo and behold.. it's still working. I replaced it today, but really... it actually still works.

  • I am useing it for 2 years now. I have never save him. Wet hands, dust... drop him in coffe once :) Screen change his color in one spot but phone is still working. Great phone but needs more memory now, and definitely bigger battery

  • I bought this phone in 2013 nice phone, but after using it for 2 years something went wrong with its camera completely stopped and data connection switching on by itsef even being stwitched off, the battery over heats and switches off. Can anyone help me.

  • my huawei acsend Y300 is suddenly stop. Now its don't open. what can I do now???I use this phone for One month.

  • If I switch on my Huawei AY 300, it just says everything stops, what do I do to make it usable.

  • i want to put the battery percentage off but i but i cant find it on the fone

  • First check your battery is working or not

  • Mine did that too I noticed dat da battery was loose so I've put da paper to tighten da battery its works perfectly fyn , bt I removed da paper long time ago

  • I buy before 19 months. Y300...it was working well...but today just few hours ago it is hanged...I try to restart..but cant...then I remove battery..put again .but it not start...what to do??????? can any one tell me about this???

  • My phone also after two years use ''unfortunately Google stop searching.'' Shown to mechanic but he replied IC damaged and it will be costlier.so I packed it & purchased P8lite.

  • The phone itself is perfectly fine. But it's like Huawei went: "Hey, let's build this awesome phone with really good specs... and do everything we can to slow it down and install a ton of unnecessary crap on it and put a ridiculously stupid launcher as it's stock launcher". The biggest problems with this phone is the crap installed on it that you can't get rid of, and the terrible stock launcher. Huawei's stock apps kill this phone's performance, and the lack of support by Huawei sucks. I would still definitely recommend it though. I've had it for just over a year now and at first I installed a custom launcher to sort out the crappy one Huawei gives you. Then after a while I noticed the phone's performance was really no good for the specs it had, so I rooted it and installed a custom ROM. I am in no way encouraging you to do so as it could brick (make your phone completely unusable) your phone, but it worked for me and really breathed life into the phone.

  • The most useless phone I've used!

  • The most useless phone I've used!

  • Lag is from launcher. Install another launcher and you'll be fine.

  • try putting your phone in recovery mode

  • Yes i agree its really slow

  • I totaly agree that the phone is crap it is really slow so don't buy it look for a better phone!

  • The phone is absolute crap

  • my huawei after 2 years of using well my huawei borked in two places its ok but when it bbroked PLAY STORE started to download things that I didnt want to download I unistalled them but they installed again I hated itt this was and is soo annoyingg dont buy a phone like disss I hate itt

  • Good phone. Had it for a year then got a new one. Kept it as a backup phone. When I lost my newer one, I was back to this one. Its good, it lags a lot which does annoy me, the camera is good for occasional pictures, nothing fancy. I like the flexible plastic back.

  • My Ascend 300 worked fine for two years but I only do email and Twitter or Instagram. Battery pretty decent as it will last all day on one charge and I use it a lot. Got a good price at Best Buy and it was very easy to unlock as the company will send you all the necessary codes (does take a long time to receive). Used it overseas no problem. Wifi a bit flaky lately and yes the ROM is ridiculous small when you are stuck with all those useless apps you cant park on sd card or get rid of. Yes I know about rooting and flashing but not comfortable doing it. Now the cable will not charge battery anymore. Must be a pin cracked or broken inside. I did manage to charge it once after plugging cable in phone 20 times but this time no go. I did buy a cheap universal battery charger online which will take a month to get here. Feeling like maybe I should move on to a Moto G second generation or ...?

  • ... my mobile give error while opening its pattren lock it gives error that Google has stopped etc....

  • I save copies of bookmark links to Google Keep in a dedicated note, as a backup - easy to reinstate to a new phone, if things go wrong with the existing one ! You should have backup's of everything - data / docs / photos etc. For notes -

  • You should put your Contacts into your Google / GMail Contacts account, if they aren't already there. That way they'll never be lost permanently on any phone you have, even if they temporarily don't load. If they are in your Google a/c already, then delete the account from your phone / clear phone & app cache, and reload the account. Your contact should be re-populated to the phone's contact / people list/s.

  • I can't access my contacts,it says contacts have stopped

  • I can't access my contacts,it says contacts have stopped

  • Gogoogle acaunt

  • Same for my y300 a month ago oddly enough.! Nothing no boot up no charge nothing. It just packed up.. didn't even get chance to make a back up of bookmarks etc.. for last couple of months. Well annoying.!!!

  • Cheap in the year 2013, limited hardware but ok. What you pay is what you get. The most annoying thing is that Huawei never updated the android system to some newer versions of android, event though some devs could build working lollipop roms. Nevertheless heartbleed bug was fixed quickly. The bugfix for the stagefright vulnerability is not out yet. So using an Y300 at the moment means high risk of beeing hacked. Huawei announced to be working on the problem, but keep working harder, I want to use my 22 month old phone again.

  • Huawei y300 after 1 year use. There is nothing wrong with the hardware of the phone , works pretty well even after a year use , though I have to say the battery has become weak..(I don't complain much cause I'm a heavy user) The phone performance however it's very disgusting ......its very laggy , practically impossible to play games on the device , only simple apps can be used with flexibility.... (It is practically impossible to use Google chrome on this device again) opening up an app can take up to 8-10 seconds! The system memory becomes obnoxious only a handful of apps . To make things worse this version of Android doesn't readily allow transfer of apps between the phone and memory card . ......basically this phone is very outdated , you don't get to enjoy the real taste of smartphone with y300

  • my phone wifi and data connection was automatically open , it doesn't work even I turn it off its always turned on. why should I do ? please help me..

  • good phone

  • So much lag on phone

  • HOW TO SOLVE / FIX ERROR CODE 492 IN GOOGLE PLAY STORE Fix "Error 492" in Google Play Store - Explained

  • wath it means EROR 492

  • Try clearing the cache : Settings - Manage apps - scroll across to All - press Clear cache (this is on the updated ROM). Maybe try an app called One Key Boost - it releases RAM (temporarily) each time you use it. Also, try restarting your phone, by holding down the power button until an on-screen menu appears. Seems your phone needs a refresh, but it may be the app causing this issue, so send a message to the developer on Google Play as well.

  • You get what you pay for. Had mine for around 12 months and am ready to toss it. The plastic lens cover on the camera has fallen out so now taking clear pictures is near impossible, in video it keeps getting out of focus. The speaker has blown, so you cannot listen to music or make hands free calls as it crackles too much. The headphone jack must be worn too, as whenever you listen to music with headphones it keeps coming up with the hands free commentary telling you to plug in the headset correctly - so annoying and you can't turn that off. The operating system regularly freezes when using internet and is just slow in general, especially if trying to use new downloaded apps that simply freeze up because it can't handle them. Battery life is still good but that doesn't mean much when all the phone is good at is making and receiving calls. Rubbish phone after a year when it was so promising at the start.

  • hey guys.. every time when i close my game (clash of clans) the phone automatically restart it self. just need any solution..?

  • You can force install the newer ROM (if your phone is booting in a loop & seems to be unusable) - a post below refers you to the Huawei website via this link : Just follow the instructions in the PDF, which is included in the close to 600MB download. I've had the newer ROM on my phone for at least 4 months, and although I periodically need to re-boot it, I think it's much more stable than the one you're probably using (if it's the one which came installed on the phone, which incidentally, is susceptible to Heartbleed). Direct link to the newer ROM : This version solve following issue: Security Advisory-OpenSSL Heartbeat Extension vulnerability (Heartbleed bug) .

  • The same happens with mine. Actually it has a recurring boot loop problem. It'll turn on to the point of saying android and won't go any further.

  • Sounds like the battery died, not the phone itself - whether hardware or related software.

  • I bought my Huawei Y300 in October 2013. It worked just fine until 2 weeks ago. I woke up one morning, tried to turn my phone on, nothing! It had just died on me. I have tried to charge it, nothing happens. It is completely dead. I have shown it to 2 technicians, all they did was try to turn it on, shrugged and suggested I get a new phone. One even suggested I should be happy it lasted 20 months for the price I paid. Well, one thing I know, my next phone won't be a Huawei.

  • - often when I'm in the middle of a phone call the other person suddenly cannot hear me, i can hear them "hello?? hello?" and I hang up, try again and often it happens again. can this be fixed? shall i just buy a new phone? - the google mic often randomly comes on and won't go away - the normal camera is stuck on blue, the front one works fine - the screen breaks easily. well mine's all smashed but it works fine. - internet is SO SLOW I've had this phone for 2 years, feel like they're designed not to last. Maybe I didn't take good care of it. It never seemed quick even in the beginning, google maps often didn't work well, didn't recognise my location. phone feels nice in your hand, I can say that.

  • Did you try taking out the battery for a few minutes, putting it back into the phone, then attempting to reboot (restart) the phone ? If that doesn't work, then I'm unsure - it's probably an OS (operating system) software glitch.

  • hello i am using huawei y300-0100 , a few days ago when power on my phone after charging it powered on but stuck at the screen logo of huawei .and i am tried to restart with power button it not worked. and this problem is still present. i am unable to use my phone please help what should i do

  • Download "Explorer" or similar from the Play Store to search for your pics. - the file manager the phone comes with is pretty basic. The pics you take usually land up in a folder called DCIM, and possibly a sub-folder of that - search around there ; use the file explorer you download to search for the others you shared. They should be somewhere on the SD card '0' (ie. on the phone itself), as opposed to "1" which would be an SD card you add to the phone.

  • Im having trouble with picture, I've had some sent via Bluetooth from my old phn, and there no where to be found! And also I've tried taking pics and they don't save...hopefully something simple, plz HELP :)

  • Those of you having problems with the phone - you can & should download an update of the newer official ROM from the Huawei website : Note that instructions are included in a PDF file, within the download. Be aware that it's about 570MB, so if you have limited 3G rather try doing so via (uncapped) wi-fi. If you have problems accessing mobile / 3G after the update, you simply need to put APN (Access Point Names) settings into the phone via Settings - Mobile networks - Access Point Names (APN) - select New APN (by touching 3 horizontal lines at the bottom-right of the phone) + ensure you SAVE them, using same 3 lines. These you can get from this website : for most / many countries.

  • You could not have it for four years. It was released two years ago.

  • how did you root it?

  • This is a very good phone for the money I had it for four years. first thing you must do is root it & put in slimkat 9.0 then you get kitkat 4.4.4, for long lasting battery install kernel tweaker & set min CPU clock to 450mhz, set the governor to powersave. This will render your device unplayable for games but will give you more than two days Worth of battery life.good luck guys.

  • generally good phone. and guys its a cheap phone, how would you expect the world for it.

  • when i am calling than display light off any button click not be display light on when disconnect calling mobile phn light on what i can do???????????

  • You activate it by going on camera, then the little arrow, then the phone icon

  • Summary of all you need to know :

  • Open the camera app. There should be an on-screen symbol with 2 circular arrows (covering 360 degrees). Click on it, and you should see your face in the screen ! Note: symbol might differ slightly, as I loaded the updated Y300 ROM issued by Huawei after the Heartbleed bug. www.cnet.com/news/heartbleed-bug-what-you-need-t­o-know-faq/

  • I have an app called "One Key Boost" installed on my phone, and seldom, if ever, does my phone freeze. This app helps free-up memory - use it a few times a day, as the phone has low memory to begin with. However, when your phone does hang, reboot it by pressing down on power button, and then "Restart" on pop-up menu.

  • "when i download an app, it disappears from the files,.." .. there's an option in the File Manager under Settings, to show hidden files. Don't know how much this will help, as you should be able to see your files without issue. The fact that your app files are hidden & you can't download more apps leads me to think these issues are connected. Have you run out of space on your phone ? It only has a max of 4GB to start with. You need to move as many apps to SD card as the system will allow. But they'll probably not show up on the home screen ; there's a trade-off for everything .....

  • my y300 has this problem, when i download an app, it disapears from the files, but if u check the installed apps u'll c it, if u uninstall app, u lose it 4eva, also its now refusing to install any new apps, wen u factory reset it, it behaves for a while then starts again how do i end this?

  • I received 4 phone calls today, but couldn't unlock my screen. We have been ringing it for over an hr but can't seem to unlock the ringing screen. It has a lock on the bottom of the screen. Any ideas great fully accepted.

  • go to data switch

  • For all of you struggling with the ROM the phone came with (4.1.1), I came across this thread on XDA .. it results in a forced update of the later ROM that took into account the Heartbleed bug. Very easy: Download the latest original factory rom : Y300-0100 United Kingdom Channel 5 June 2014 569.39 MB "Make on the SD card new directory - dload - copy the rom & rename update.app Turn off the phone, remove the battery 1-2 min, put back, then press the Vol UP + Vol Down + Power on and start the force update." Note : that instruction isn't entirely clear ; you must name a new file called 'dload'on preferably re-formatted SD-Card (that's what I did), but ONLY the main file must go into that folder ; the 570MB d/load includes a PDF with instructions from Huawei, so follow those ; as long as you have a phone that you can link up to PC and see the drive/s on the phone, you can name that file & put ROM into there. I went through the process a week ago (and it feels like a new phone again), and this ROM is better (less lag) than the original. The only thing I lost - but don't think is as a result of this ROM - was my 3G signal / availability - but I think it was due to having loaded a custom Lollipop ROM which wasn't 100%, and must've corrupted the radio or related file/s. Good luck, but it should work if you try - better than struggling with existing ROM.

  • guys my Huawei is malfunction I have tried to reset it manyways but I cant format or delete any app I have installed because if try to delete them the apps will automatically be there. what should I do please?

  • my y300 is in safe mode! i dont know how to removed it.. please help me guys! i cant download any app in playstore. :( -----SAFE MODE-----

  • Format your sd card through android(from storage menu -erase) restart phone and copy again your pics and music in the folders created by the os.

  • Buy another one to speed up things :-)) Seriously, you can make your phone to perform better if you control the programs that take up your ram and stay resident...manual or through a program.

  • My touchscreen just stopped working though i did not drop it.Please advise

  • Good Day people does anyone know how i can speed up the device ... thank you

  • My huawei y300 cannot disply my music on play music and also my photos cant disply also in galery.help me to s0lve this. Thank you

  • how can i save pics. to memory card

  • I have the same problem

  • That 2GB SD-card sounds suspect, and you should try moving what's on it to a new one, then see if that can be read - I have a Sandisk 8GB card in mine, and so far gallery shows pics I put on it, and my mp3's & mp4's even, are read fine each time. You should try putting "MX Player" onto your phone instead of the one it came with, and can combine it with "Audipo" which is merely for speeding up mp3 podcasts. Also, check in your Settings - Storage, whether you have "Use external SD as primary" ticked/checked - if it is/isn't, and you're on Kitkat, might be why data/pics on SD-card not being picked-up. I've had apps close on home page when that's ticked, and they're saved to the phone - very finicky, so play around with that setting, and see if makes a diff. (before purchase new SD-card).

  • Hi! Okay so, I've had my Huawei y300 for about... 2 months now. It's a second hand, and so far it's been fantastic. Although, I am sort of panicking at the moment because I sent like... 14 songs just now, then all of a sudden the internal storage just bazookas up. From a 500+mb available for apps to a 150mb. Also, the gallery won't read any of the pictures stored in my 2gb SD card and the normal app for music player won't read any of its music. Both apps can't open either. It's just a black space. Also, whenever I open my camera, it won't work either, because I think it's connected to its gallery so... And, if open the gallery/music/camera, it ends up hanging on me. I've tried clearing my cache and data on a few apps but so far, all I got was a 210mb available (for apps). Nothing else. The themes won't open either. I'm really panicking now. This happened only now, and I don't know what to do. I've restarted my phone several times but the problem still occurs. I never tried updating the system or anything. No back-ups, I've downloaded several apps, but in the end deleted them. Please help me. D:

  • I know everything about this phone,everything is good,but is not scratch resistence.

  • Do a Google search for "Modaco (website) Prohunter (he/she/it posted the instructions to unlock bootloader, root the phone etc.) - it works, but at the point you need to put in the (bootloader?) code, you'll need the correct drivers on your PC to get past that point. I can't remember which Huawei drivers I downloaded, but a Google search brought Up a file to unzip & run, and it worked after that. Then, when you've rooted successfully, search "Modaco Y300 Custom ROMs" and there's a list to work from - the best ROM I've found is CyanogenMod 11 (KitKat 4.4.x) by Dazzozo. Make sure that within the rooting process, you backup the ROM your phone came with - it's gotten me out of trouble a few times, but generally, I learned a lot from rooting/putting on ROMs, it's fun, and smoother than the stock ROM. Just use common sense when/if unsure about some steps, but it's not all that daunting ...

  • I have this phone sine august 2013 and im loving it. Though there are few cons which on my opinion are forgivable, overall this is a great android phone. For the price and amongs its batch.

  • Do u know how to upgrade this phone

  • All of a sudden i lost all my contacts except 2 out of 100ish.What is going on?They are gone just like that.No more.Im using this phone since mid 2013 and i had no problems with this phone.Any help would be appreciated :

  • This was supposedly a upgrade for the Telstra ZTE that the screen faded on. This has to be the worst phone I have ever had, even going back to the over shoulder Brick that was my first. Every time they say to " press 1" it disconnects. I have been ready to smash it on many occasions.

  • yes vga cam

  • is this phone have a secondary camera??

  • Being honest here, I regret buying this so much. It's not scratch resistant like ye say, it scratches rediculiously easy and the front camera is atrocious! This has been happening since this phone was bought new, when typing the keyboard shuts off for 5 minutes comes back on for two seconds then goes again. At one stage I had to restart it 10 times within that one hour. Never again do I buy a phone from this make.

  • same happened to my phone also,every application getting stopped ,huawei input maetthod getting stopped ,google application getting stopped ,,etc.... after i restart but it didnot done restarting please help me to fix this problom

  • Go to the website of your network, and find the APN details. These need to be entered into SETTINGS / MOBILE NETWORKS / ACCESS POINT NAMES. Tap MENU, then tap NEW APN. Enter the details you got from your network provider. There are a few entries in there such as MMSC which deal with multimedia messaging. Once you have filled it in, press MENU, then SAVE. Make sure you select this APN. It will then have a blue dot next to it to indicate it is the active APN. Turn phone off/on and it should now be all working. Hope this helps. Pen

  • can i get this model of mobile in ethiopian market(mekelle)at this time?

  • Had this phone for a year and that always happend, my advise is sell it and buy some other phone, with at least one gig of ram I went with the s3 mini value edition and there is no regrets anymore. Or if u really want to keep the y300 root it.

  • for the people who complain how slow their Huawei ascend y300 androids are, all you have to do is clean the cache, and download a system cleaner, its no different than what you must do with your comp.

  • The phone is good .despite of that I like the price isn't bad any one can affoded !!big up .

  • I can't send a text message. Please help me how can I use it. Thanks

  • It's a great phone glad I had it last year it lasted me a year the only reason it broke on me was that paper was stuck in the mini usb slot and it broke the slot in the end so couldn't charge but before that it was a great phone

  • I got the same problems, it's really frustrating.

  • This is the best phone I have ever owned in fact my hubby has the same one but in black mines is purple we have had them over a year now and look and work as they did when we got them, camera is fab I use a photo editor with mine and have had some fab results ,battery life is excellent also I was thinking of upgrading but then thought no why when I love my phone so much ,would recommend this phone for anyone looking for a smart everyday phone that does everything you need to do on it on an everyday use.

  • It's not the worst smartphone I owed, but it gets very slow with time. And I only had it 4 months. The camera (5MP) is better then sony experia M camera (also 5MP)which I tested. Also, the good thing about this phone is that you can set up an alarm for the morning and it will work when your phone is completly off, not many phones are able to do that. Battery is poor. If you go on FB and do some browsing the battery runs down fast. Also, the storage capacity is very small, you cant go crazy with applications, and if you install a few, the phone will be struggling. Luckily it has a sd card slot to keep your photos and music on it. Overall it is a good simple smartphone for begginers or older users, who don't play games and use much internet.

  • A real bargain,in some respects there's even a hint of iPhone in use, but you get that plus a removable battery, SD card slot, at a quarter of the price. Had mine for nearly 18 months with heavy use, knocked about a bit, but as reliable as ever. Best phone yet for signal strength and clarity of calls - something that's easily over looked. I've had considerably more expensive, big name phones and the Huawei y300 might not look as flash but it does what its meant to do just as well, better in some respects. If you want a good, solid, inexpensive phone with more features than you would expect for the price you really should consider the Y300.

  • I can't send a text message. Please help me how can I use it. Thanks

  • I can't send a text message. Please help me how can I use it. Thanks

  • Omg i have the exact same problem, I feel like lashing it off the floor constantly crashing especially on Facebook and Snapchat! So irritating

  • i have upgrade my y300 after that network data is not working and also notification panel not working i am unable to see display shot-cut buttons in the notification panel. Please can anyone help me solve the problem

  • How in the world do you set the Message Service Center Number on the Ascend y300? I cannot send out SMS messages, always with the error code 28. Surfing the net, this seems to be due to not having a correct Message Service Center Number for my telephone provider. I found out what this number is, but cannot find any way to set it in the Ascend Y300. I follow the instructions found on the net for Android phones, but this menu item is missing (Messaging->Settings-> etc). Except for this irritation, I am quite happy for this phone, so I would be so happy if someone could help me out with this :)

  • when i turn on my huawei y300 0100 it turned on different from other huawei y300 why plzzz tell mee anybody

  • i need a RUIM CODE for my y300

  • At first it is good. But after installing few apps it crashes. And the battery life is crazy. When using the internet it lasts fir only an hour. Lame!

  • I wanted a simple and cheap phone so I got this one. It wasnt bad to begin with, but after a while ( a few months) it became very slow. Lots of lags. Even when I type txt I wait for a keyboard to show. Internet slow. Lack in reception, only one bar sometimes, while another phone shows full bars with the same provider. Internet slow, I wait for every page to open and scroll. The internal memory is very small, I can only install a few applications and thats it. Camera is OK, takes fine pictures (5MP). Battery OK if you dont use it much. As soon as you use internet and a game the battery runs down like crazy. I only recommend this phone for someone older, or a kid, people without big tech needs. Simple smartphone for calls. Definitely not for game players or internet maniacs. Send a txt, MMS, take a photo - yes. Anything else its just frustrating.

  • Hi....friend I m using this phone .this phone is best for u .... Thank's

  • can i get vidio calling service without skype ?

  • The lag you won't get away from, due to the phone's low memory. I've put a very lightweight keyboard on the phone - Multiling's O Keyboard (note: the "O" one is the lightweight keyboard, as there's another Multiling one, which has more features, and takes up more space). To this keyboard, add the English plugin (Honzo, I think the name is). Not very intuitive, but does the basics OK - go into settings to ensure 2nd function symbols work, like $ , ? , ( ) etc., as they didn't by default for me.

  • A great phone for the price. It's performance is pretty good, except for a couple of issues: - problems with the keyboard, ie. not coming up when you tap - a bit of lag with some apps and internet - strange glitches with the phone which are not too frequent, however very frustrating. Those are the main issues, the phone has quite successful performance. The battery on mine is fairly long-lasting however I have heard it reduces rapidly after a while within having the phone.

  • use airdroid from google app store and share data over air simple..

  • how do i down load photos to my computer ,from phone .?? tell me in simple laugauge please

  • I have lost the phone 2 days back.....feeling miserable.....any chance to find it??

  • your problem is equal to me, I cant send texting, some letters such as Y, H, B, etc (on the keyboard) are difficult to touch. It makes me mad. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

  • Everyone says this phone very good. I actually agree but I got bad experience with this phone. After several months I bought Y300, several areas of its screen cant be touched, it makes me disappointed. Then, I take my phone to Huawei Service Center in Indonesia as my country and it needs a months to get my phone back. Not so long, the screen became error again and again. I cant make texting bcoz the keyboards cant be touched like before. I bring my phone to Huawei Service Center again. Now Im just waiting to get my phone back. The process of service is quite so long. Huawei Im disappointed, VERY!!! But never mind, let me say this phone is exactly fabulous, especially its camera is very great, both rear or front camera but the battery performance is very poor, it drains so fast and if we want to keep 3G signal, the phone is gonna be very hot and it has a bad speaker. If you try to play music, Im sure that its speaker has bad quality.

  • The phone is the best, the screen is sensitive, you don't have to push the screen so hard just to interact to the interface but with smooth touch you already apply your commands, which is easy and efficient, however, just avoid your fingers a little bit co'z you might click something by mistake. but I Love how it responses, I experience no Lag for this phone except for gaming ofcourse its normal.hehe.. the bad news is that, I lost this phone, and right now I am currently searching for this one again. I have my Huawei Ascend G6 which is higher model than this, But there's something which y300 is very different to other Huawei Mondels. HUHUHU..

  • This is good set i have been using for last 10 months, some time it get stuck during browsing over all it is perfact cell phone.

  • Hi. When i call someone with my Y300 my mic stops and the person i called cant hear me. It happens after 15 seconds or more and i hear the caller. Pls help me any advice.

  • The phone is good for budget...i have been using it for six month..it is an overall good ecperience but it has a huge RAM prpblem . Out of 512 mb ..no more than 100 is free..its usually less than that...the design and shape is good...touch os soft...but it cannot run HD games and wont play 720p and 1080p movies smoothly...not even on MX player...its screen sometimes acts as a double view mirror...even on full brightness and it has a huge network issue...wifi range is also very low...if u are low on budget...try buying a secondhand phone....with atleast 1gb of RAM if u r a frequent app user...if not ...than go ahead and give it a try

  • not fast enough, delay in response and can easily hang on quick or sudden process shifting, this phone cannot handle heavy applications at once such as HD games, it has major problems in network connectivity. weak network bars and variance in reception. many software errors such as camera malfunction, with "camera error, cannot connect to camera" "network error,USSD problem" Generally its a poor performance phone

  • i reset my phone ,and then i havemmi code error how to fix

  • I'm not a big app user, however I've been really happy with the phone overall, good battery life, strong phone calls. I've used it a number of times to navigate with and I'm actually a fan of the FM radio on it because even though you need headphones for an antenna, you can play it over the speaker. Can't tell you how nice it is to just listen to local music and news while you're working on something away from the house. It fits really nicely in my hand too. Bought a cheap clip on case and screen protector on ebay for five bucks.. pleasant experience.

  • huawei ascend y 300 my phones down volume not working.and my phone gone on safe mode.i cannot access any apps.will you help me please.

  • Hi I own a Huawei Ascend Y300.

Its been doing that for 3days now. I don't know what to do. Please help me. Thank You.

  • using this from last 1 year.. and its amazing.. working without any issue/lag.. cant install big games coz of limited space... but nice experience.. must buy phone

  • I've now had this phone for a year, and it has been really not too good. Itlags soooo much when I try to play any popular games, the camera isn't the greatest and the screen response is really just not good. But I must give Huawei credit for this phone because it has lasted me a whole year with common drops and showers. It was a decent buy for only $80.

  • I have recently bought one with a fair price but sometimes while talking it turns into one way talk and that is so annoying I hear the other person insulting my cell phone

  • I Want to buy but Ineed dual sim. plsease modify and make it dual sim??

  • hey guys plzz give me opinions about this phone coz im intersted to buy this phone .

  • I cannot unerstand all the bad reviews this phone is getting here, I think its a fantastic phone. It allows me to disable apps that i will never use then those apps dissapear from the sceens,I can restrict apps from using data to update, set it to ask my permission for an app to update, battery life is amazing, average use i have to charge every 3 to 4 days. everything runs smoothly, if i had one complaint it would be the camera, the photos it takes are not that great but i've never been good at taking photos anyway, I've used an iphone 4s and a samsung s3 and for what this phone cost i would prefer to have this Ascend y300 over them any day.

  • This phone is useless, browsing is so slow, Facebook app does not work properly take for ever to load or doesn't at all, streaming videos is a nightmare, when playing music and using the phone, the music would just stop, camera is not that great, I'm back to using my CAT B15 which is a better phone haven't had any issues, and I've thrown it against the wall to test of the strength of the phone and had it under water

  • dont buy this phone. I had it 3 days sold it. Battery sucks. If u use it for 2hours it get empty even it was full. Evrything ok except battry life.

  • Some clarification. There us no delete option available for photos vis the bottom right menu key. However touching the image in Gallery does bring up the trash can delete icon. However the annoying behavior of the SMS system is STILL a problem. I have tried a 2nd Y300 and it does exactly the same thing do it is DEFINITELY a bug in the software.

  • My Huawei Ascend android has done the very same thing..About 2 or 3 days ago...the phone just stopped working.or even coming on.Just says stoped unexspectedly.

  • I've had this phone a couple of months and I've got so many problems. Internet takes a long time to load even with wifi. The battery life is rubbish, I can't go a whole day without charging it at least twice. Also it's constantly telling me that my storage space is running low. The phone it's self crashes regularly and so do the apps.

  • Clear your internet history and move your app to sdcard manual.if app take long to respon..close and open back the app

  • nice softwor

  • I got this phone in march. And I've been having problems with storage. Also any apps I use always take forever to load or crash as soon as they have loaded. I get problems messages not always sending even when I have a network connection. I have also had some problems with the camera.

  • how can i get manual wcdma mode and this is very lazy for obtaining ip address of wifi

  • After some time the internal memory of my phone is not working. why?

  • very nice set

  • Reset your internet history for clean phone internal memory..internet history take many space on internal memory

  • This phone is good..brought on 23/11/2013 so far great..what I love this phone is can change font without need root..I use software ifont to change just like Samsung..only change theme for font

  • The internal memory is not as stated. Too small to hold one mb..

  • For the under £60 I paid for it at Carphone Warehouse, it has more features than many others costing £500 plus, albeit it has a plastic body. But I also bought an additional cover (genuine Huawei) for £7+, which makes it as good as many others on the market. No wonder the 'Big Boys' are being beaten at their own game, it's a bit like the current problems with the Big Supermarkets, most whom I feel, have overcharged with their gimmics (buy 1, get one free etc), for far too long, against the excellent Aldi/Lidl/J.D.Wetherspoon situation, you get what ou pay for, AND at a sensible price and do not feel you have been overcharged or ripped off.

  • I am having problems with my camera

  • Whos this

  • I have problems with skype. Hi is ON, but no one can get me. I have latest version skype from google play.

  • My macro sim has gone in and can't see it how can I remove it

  • Search on Google for at least a few or all of these terms : "modaco topic 367444 apphuawei y300 unlock bootloaderflash twrp and root with tutorial" The first link that comes up should sort it out for you - I've done it before & it works. There's a 1/2 hr. YouTube clip you can watch & follow. If you get stuck - especially on the bootloader section, doesn't mean the prog. is faulty ; just that you probably are short of the correct Huawei drivers for your PC - will need to search a bit for them, and thereafter the process is fine. That's the only problem I encountered when doing this about 7 months ago.

  • If you are the first own of your device and device isn't damaged..... resetting (factor resetting) your device could do the trick....

  • Your best bet is to take your device back to the store you purchased it from./ to someone that has knowledge on how to repair or reset your device, it could be a problem with your sim card...

  • Try factor resetting your device if you can get that icon back.... Thats how I got my icon back.

  • how tp root on this phone?because my huawei y300 get slower and slower..can u please give me info? thank you

  • m9 iZ gOinG aWsUm.......

  • Take out the battery wait five sec put it back in and when u switch the phone on, hold the power button and volume up at the same time for 20 sec. then the andriod recovery ROM should open scroll down and select wipe data/factory reset confirm yes then after when it says reset complete select reboot now and then your good to go. But you will loose everything exept thing that is saved on your sd card (u have to use the volume button to scroll up or down and the power button to select)

  • I have the same problem. Two workarounds: 1) just reset the phone, It's quick on restaring. Though the problem may raise again soon. 2) just go on the "setting" app and select "mobile networks", there select using only 2G networks (GSM) it likely works stable forever. The only annoying thing is when you need high troughput data you need to revert to UMTS network allowed. It's not a drama. I survive pretty well, myself.

  • Ive been using this phone for almost 1 year but i dont find any big issue as many people say. This phone is a very durable phone.Im a heavy user. Plus i got 2 years of warranty for this. so why worry? It might some battery draining issues but overall its more than enough for the price. Pls dont expect high enf features on this phone. I would recommend anyone this phone.Go buy it:)

  • try factory reset,maybe it will solve itself then

  • It's a great phone,using it more than 1 year already, specs aren't the best and battery is short lasting on stock rom but you gotta root it,put some custom ROM on it and it's great,doesn't eat battery and it's fast :)

  • my phone can't make a call, it will say "connection problem or invalid MMI code, well the network bar is full.

  • Been using it for one and a half year. Overall decent phone. At this price it is very competitive with higher priced brand phones. But I am not going to recommend it because it has a very big flaw. A VERY BAD SPEAKER. from day one its very poor. You will find it very difficult to hear the ring tone when you are outside. Very sad. Also no support by Huawei meaning no software updates ever. Spend a few thousand more and get a better quality phone by a big name brand like Samsung or Sony. I know I am never coming back to Huawei.

  • Your ram is finished I got that problem too u just need to restart it that will stop all the running apps. If u want more go to setting >manage apps swipe twice on the right and try disabling in some app or stop them (I recommend stopping them) also download clean master app it help me a lot what that does is it cleans all the junk that's on your phone and boost the CPU try it.

  • Go into Settings, then select Factory Data Reset (should be in Backup & reset sub-heading). Note that by doing this, you'll lose data/apps currently on your phone, so will need to re-load your Google account / GMail etc., apps. If you want to reset the phone simply because it's running slowly, rather download apps like "OneKey Boost" and "Cleaner eXtreme" to reclaim used up RAM evey now and then.

My daughters love them and they get a bit of a punishment from them, but they have survived. I'm that impressed I'm about to upgarde all three to the Y530. Highly, highly recommend this phone.

  • It's an amazing phone z camera is beautiful etc. I don't know but I love this phone.

  • I have no complaints about this phone. I have been using it for the past 4 months. I am looking forward to buying the latest from Huawei just because I want a better camera and larger storage(both on the camera and SD). Big up for Huawei.

I repeat. Huawei Y300 is the better and cheaper phone here in country, here in portugal, this phone is like 50/60 euros as used like new. it's best buy.

  • Looks like you have a baseband problem. Search "baseband fix huawei y300" for more info.

  • If your phone's virtually unusable, you've got nothing to lose trying to root it & put on a different (Custom) ROM. Here's the link to get started: This includes a 1/2 hour You Tube clip you should follow while carrying out the rooting process. Most of it should be fine (I've done it myself), and the biggest issue might be getting the correct Huawei-compatible driver/s onto your Windows PC/laptop, to get the bootloader code ; after that, should be "plain-sailing". Should you respond to this after doing the root, I can help you out with a compatible Custom ROM & loading GAPPS (Google Apps).

  • My hu a wei y300 is so irritating cant even go onto the internet and cant even chat on networks sometimes my network disapears totally dont know why think they should have put a bigger graphics card into the phone.

If I was to rate this phone I'd rate it -100. I will never buy another Huawei product again ever.

  • Where in the settings?

  • Can someone help me because i can't ANY signal on my phone, i can't recieve any texts or calls, if some can help, please reach me at [email protected]. Thanks.

  • Not personally, but I wouldn't even use this phone as a regular phone! I prefer using a cheap Nokia feature phone for calls/SMSs, as the batteries last much longer on those. Something you might want to consider, if the problems persist.

  • Those of you who have phones that have "app not working" or "cannot read file" messages, need to take of the back cover, pull out the battery for about 30 secs., then put it back and reboot/reboot the phone. I've had the same happen with mine in the past, and this usually resolves it. Also, some app don't function well if on the SD-card, so if these apps might be the cause of these error messages. In that case, move them back to the phone, via Settings-Apps.

  • My y300 compass is not working

  • Hi please help me i can send messages but i can not recieve them any ideas.

  • I have had this phone for about 3-4 months now. I had to return it to the shop once already, and once again it is slowing down to an unbearable level. DO NOT buy this phone if you can't tolerate having to wait up to half a minute or more just to open up basic apps or sometimes even your messages and phone book. I used to have a Nokia Windows phone and it was much better and faster. Once I've negotiated a cancellation of my contract with my phone shop I will be returning to Nokia (or in fact any other brand) and not touching a Huawei phone again!

  • Well, mine works perfectly and I have no problems. I has ace no proforma with it at all.

  • I'm referring to a screenshot I took of the phone when I had Huawei's software on it. If you tap on the green icon (with that smiley face) in the bottom tray of the phone's homepage, that should be for SMS / text messaging. There should be a symbol with a + sign ; click on it & a message window should come-up. If you have contacts saved, click on + sign on right of "To:" to select them, otherwise you'll need to input a cell no. & type message below it. Someone can correct me if needed, as I cannot test it out on original software, but only in a Custom ROMs one.

  • Of course you can send text messages, just press the Messaging icon on the home screen.

  • Am I right in thinking that I cannot text messages with this phone? If not can you tell me how to do it as the instructions ignore this useful task Mary Kilbride

  • When my phone is idle for a while. The Huawei logo comes on the screen like as hang the phone & touch not working that time but can make call from another phone but nothing shows in my phone even not ringing. can anyone help me!!

  • i am using huawei y300 and if i am making a call the screen goes off and comes back after the call is ended so i can not flash any one

  • Bought, next day when calling, the call ended, try it several times but useless, then restarted worked nice, after about 2 hours the fault come back. As insured returned which the insurer charges ACCESS £20.oo, better to buy other branded mobile.

  • Good phone for the price., RAM -512Mb, 1.0 Dual core processor with 5MP camera worth it for the price. my first smart phone and I love huawei acend Y300

  • Agreed - I don't think I'll every buy another smartphone that isn't at least 1GB RAM.

  • why alot of claim while i want to buy Huawei Ascend Y 300?

  • Try re-booting the phone. Press down on the Power button for a few seconds. A menu should pop-up on-screen. Select "reboot", and wait for it to restart. Check under "Storage" to see if (phone / SD-card) memory restored.

  • Is an excellent phone, it could be better if ram where 1gb

  • Yes

  • Download Touchpal X keyboard from Google Play & make it the default keyboard in the settings.

  • My camera won't open at all very glitchy, sometimes key board won't pop up so you can't write anything. Can anyone help? Cheers

  • Do a factory reset you have a corrupt application somewhere,use a sandisk sd card of 8GB only.

  • I'm sure this phone will choke with a file size like this : 569.39MB. Even Custom ROMs are only about 150 - 200MB + GAPPS of between 15 - 80MB for the basic versions. What have they shoved into this security patch.

  • "The rooting is unusal, but Huawei was cooperative and received the bootloader unlock code next day." If you use the method for rooting as described in the YouTube 30 min. vid., you don't need to rely on Huawei for the bootloader code, at all. It gets generated for you from within the 20MB prog. you use (on Windows PC/laptop) for rooting the phone. That has an added benefit : If you save a .zip file of the original 4.1.1 Huawei OS, and have problems with the phone within warranty period, you can send in for repairs & Huawei have no record of you rooting the phone in the first place - (need to get rid of SuperSU icon for eg on the phone, and any files showing ref to rooting, using a file manager - TWRP etc.). But, essentially, you'll have restored back to Stock ROM, 100% that way.

  • too many patter attempts

  • I had this phone for a half a year approx. and was satisfied with it, it's a decent device for that money. Unfortunately lacks memory, but other than that no probs whatsoever. The rooting is unusal, but Huawei was cooperative and received the bootloader unlock code next day. One of the best phone in the low end category.

  • You first need to root - have posted a comment in last few minutes with a link (which includes a 30 minute YouTube vid you can & should follow). The process does work - once you've got that far, then re-post a question about Custom ROMs ; I should be following the Y300 thread, and can give you added info then. I currently have CyanogenMod 4.4.3 on my Y300 so have been through the whole process.

  • From a no of pages back : "Essentially, you need to start by searching in a browser for "y300 unlock bootloader" and the first link-heading that starts with [App] is where to proceed from. Ensure you watch the You Tube clip while carrying out the first process to root (note that you may need to update a Huawei driver - unzip & run it - which is what stalled me in the beginning)." This is the link :

  • I'm one of the older generation of mobile phone user's! I think that any one who wants to buy a cheap android phone would not find one better. My daughter,who has a IPhone 4 ,found it would do everything that it could do,at a fraction of the cost.only if you wish to go for a 4G will you find any great difference. The question is?Do you want a status symbol,or a fully functional PHONE.

  • If you've got a Google account, use their calendar to fill in your events, then it will sync with the rest of the account (GMail, Keep for notes if you want etc.) I update my calendar events on PC as it's easier, then sync afterwards & it works perfectly. If you get that far, when you open the calendar on the phone, touch down-arrow key just below date (top-left) on phone, and select "Agenda" - that will show your events in date order.

  • Lerato, of course you can get it fixed; just take it back to wherever you bought it & they must send it in - how long that takes is the question you'll need to ask at the time. This phone takes one SIM card; you should be issued an MTN one when you purchase it, but can change it for any of the other networks.

  • Install a launcher like Nova launcher, and make it the default ; then add whichever are your most used apps. to it, and forget about the Huawei one. Nova Launcher

  • Hi!My phone is stolen, can be found by IMEI?Please reply me.Thanks

  • @Rax Zaman or anyone else who can check this on their Y300: What update is it for, please? I don't have Android 4.1.1 ROM on my Y300 now, as I have a KitKat Custom ROM instead. Is this for an updated version, and if so which? ... or is it a patch for the Heartbleed bug? If it's an updated version to 4.2.x or 4.3.x then I may restore 4.1.1 and update to it, as I like the original Stock ROM Huawei put on the phone, anyway, but it was susceptible to Hearbleed on 4.1.1 so that's why I rooted & unlocked the bootloader.

  • Have you tried rebooting the phone - click on the Power button at the top of phone, keep it depressed until a menu appears which should include "Reboot". Touch that heading, and wait for process to complete. Then check if front camera's working again. Hope this works out!

  • Click on Settings - Apps. Under Downloaded, click on app name, then Uninstall & wait for process to finish. If it's an app originally loaded onto the phone by Huawei (eg. Chrome), under heading "All" in Apps., you won't be able to delete it (Uninstall will be greyed-out). To prevent having to see apps installed by Huawei, you'd need to go through the process of unlocking the bootloader, rooting the phone & installing a Custom ROM from Modaco website (CM10, CM11 etc.) If you did that, you should do a full backup of the original (Stock) ROM loaded by Huawei so you can revert back to it if necessary.

  • how do i delete some apps on my phone? e.g whatsapp and faceboook on screen

  • My front camera disappeared!!! how to I get it back???

  • Has ur front camera disappeared ???

  • The phone is quite cool actualy, I've used it for some time and it works just great. Thumbs up Huawei (y)

  • I think this probably has to do with the phone's pathetic RAM (memory) ; not only yours, but everyone's. I suggest you store your photos elsewhere as well - USB, or cloud storage. Example: if you have a Google account, setup Google+ , and freely store as many photos as you like to it, up to a certain resolution - not the original res., but more than acceptable. That way, if your SD card or phone packs-up, you can still access your photos from another storage location. Read more on G+ photos/videos here: and this : Save photos & videos using Auto Backup

  • You can read about all the CM versions on this page: You need to root / unlock the bootloader on your Y300 in order to load CM10 (based on Jelly Bean) or 11 (based on KitKat), which are the latest.

  • Good day!I have a problem on my phone and I can't update all my applications. My youtube doesn't work. It always tell that my space of my phone is insufficient but it is not true. How can I solve it?

  • I have been using this phone for about 3 months now and I must say it is a very good phone but isn't recommended for gaming. Simple games like Subway Surfers start to lag. It has a really nice, smooth and responsive screen. The screen and camera are excellent and is a recommended phone for official purposes. Gaming, ABSOLUTELY NOT!

  • How do u edit a comment you have made on Fb using huawei ascend y300. Arggh..been trying to find it..no success. Does it mean once u post a comment u can't edit..? Frustrated

  • Since rooting as well, I've tried out a few Custom ROMs. I preferred CM11(Kitkat 4.4.2) over CM10.2(J/Bean 4.3.1). Briefly also tried out FusionX Reborn, Slim u8833 4.4.2 by CHIL360, Expert_V4 & CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20140311-1607-u8951. For some reason, I like Carbon the most, for now - it's Kitkat, and think also based on CM11 with some tweaks. I'm keen to try these 2 next : [4.4.2][KK][AOSP] OmniRom by Eloimuns ; Free Your Mind Android v. 4.1.2 so may not do so, as I want to stay with the KitKat ones as much as possible. Fantastic that now able to change the OS so easily.

  • i Really like this phone Since i have it i am always enjoying it

  • am so happy with this phone evrything is smooth and application and web opens so fast

  • Do portable controllers such as Gametel work with this phone?

  • This phone is great! Long lasting battery and pretty fast overall. The camera suprised me too. I did not like the stockrom 4.1.1 and installed cynogenmod 10. And wow what a boost! its so fast now and battery even last longer now. The cm 10 has no bugs what i can see right now so its a must have custom rom! ;). I think the cm 11+ are to slow for this phone. Becuse it has low ram 393 mb what i can see and it should have 512?. I dont even think an upgrade from HUAWEI them self will help improve speed. So i will stay with cm 10.

  • EDIT----- Just got an email from Huawei. They say they are currently working on a fix for the heartbleed bug and will be sending a software update over the air.

  • Don't buy the y300. Google say 4.1.x Jelly Bean is using an infected version of OpenSSL. So the y300 is vulnerable to reverse heardbleed attacks they say. (I'm no tech savvy but i think buying a phone running a safe version of Android is better than taking a risk). And the battery doesn't last long enough too, specially on 3G.

  • i bought my y300 just 2weeks ago and i love all its functions cos it has all the functions i want in a smart phone and at a good price too.i just discovered today that the volume has seized.its working fine via the earphones but its not working via the speakers.what do i do?

  • my phone battery dont last a day and i have 23 days using this phone nxa

  • I gonna buy this fone nex week can you tell me please is a good fone

  • What types of messages? Normal SMS's or through an app like Whatsapp, or tweets? It might simply be the network you're using, the app itself, the backbone the app is using (eg. Twitter sometimes falters as millions are using it at the same time). I no longer have the software running that the phone came out on, but recall an option to clear the cache within Settings, then Apps section. Scroll across to "Running" or "All" and there should be a heading at the top to clear things ... might help. Also, download the app I suggested in previous post, and use it as it should clear your SMS cache, if that was the problem to begin with. Note: if you download that app, go into Settings and use judgement to turn off most of the items, like certain notifications & to send them stats, and (switch off) that floating widget nonsense etc.

  • The phone's memory is low to begin with. You don't state if you have an SD Card, which I presume you do. If so, try moving as many apps to the card as it should help free-up the Internal storage, and the phone should run more smoothly. Then, download the "Clean Master - Free Optimizer" from Google Play & regularly use it to clear Junk Files & as a Memory Boost.

  • My huawei phone is very slow on sending messages for the last few days ive tried everything with it i have turned it off and restarted it and all and its stil very slow does anyone know why its like that or would anyone be able to help me

  • Well I got this like 6 month ago and the flipin internal memory is pissing me off!! It keeps getting low can someone tell me how to modify this

  • I use this phone for about a week now and its very good. Compared to my sister Galaxy Note 3, this phone is quite awesome for its prize. Never lags, easy to use and long live battery. 9/10 from me ;)

  • I wasn't happy about using this phone on the Stock ROM Android 4.1.1, as it's apparently susceptible to Heartbleed. I'd therefore not used it in weeks (approx a month). Last night I spent about 5 hours rooting it & getting TWRP onto the phone, as well as trying to load a Custom ROM - Cyanogen. NIGHTLY build 4.3.1 (the last ROM of that version on/via the Modaco website). It was a struggle most of the way, as I spent about the first two hours troubleshooting a Bootloader Code error. A short while ago I managed to get this 4.3.1 version onto the phone. It's a pleasure going into Storage & seeing 1.08GB free of Internal with only 43MB used. I wish I could detail the steps clearly for you who want to root (and have little confidence to try like I had), but I had so many deviations in the process I wouldn't be able to get them down clearly. Essentially, you need to start by searching in a browser for "y300 unlock bootloader" and the first link-heading that starts with [App] is where to proceed from. Ensure you watch the You Tube clip while carrying out the first process to root (note that you may need to update a Huawei driver - unzip & run it - which is what stalled me in the beginning). If you try & come unstuck, post here & I'll check back periodically to try help out. Feels liberating to be able to put whatever ROM you want to on the phone, finally, so go for it, but with caution.

  • Hi, This phone has really good performance and also good value to your money w/o sacrificing quality and durability. Sad to say I only had it for 5mos before it got stolen from me and I can't find the same model here in Philippines anymore Huawei Y300 White IMEI 868438013120897 MAC 2469A517BA77.

  • get an app to allow u two downlaod free music

  • Of course, it's an Android phone.

  • Yes, it does supports Subway Surfers and Temple Run 2. Runs great but a little lag may occur, especially in Subway Surfers. But I'm not sure about Minion Rush, but I think the phone supports it, too. It's a good phone. :D

  • Dear sandhi_star, I suggest you to keep your Y300 and flash a CyanogenMod ROM in it (go Google it for the procedure). I've been using CyanogenMod 10.1 (Android 4.2.2) until this time and it has improved my Y300 performance.

  • Is it support Temple Run 2,Subway Surfer and Minion Rush?

  • Is it support Temple Run 2 Subway Surfer and Minion Rush?

  • Does it suport any live wallpapers?

  • That is exactly what happenned to my fon, so i just took it to an internet cafe where it was flashed and restored to it original status.

  • hi , iv had this phone a lil over a year now, iv not had any issues as such, it been a great phone n all, ideal for usb tethering net to my laptop, main reason i like as it serves more a net source than a phone to me. my only downside to the phone is the volume output for tones and such, is a lil quiet, is there any apps anyone could recommend to get more volume from ringtones, any and all recommendations happily taken on board, or any questions regarding the phone

  • i bring this mobile.... battri is very bad....please i want SAVE power give me a answer

  • Nobody cares about your comments so GTFO. I know many people who have this phone and weren't complaining about it. Maybe you got a wrong piece with wrong battery, but you can claim the warranty.

  • The you've had the wrong piece. Mine battery lasts cca 1.5 to 2 days of standby time and: - 10 hours of WiFi usage - 6 hours on EDGE (2G) - 4 hours playing videos (480p) - and playing music with max. volume and display off 18hours. So I'm very satisfied with this phone. My battery is original 1950 mAh

  • The battery for this phone is so useless.I gave it to my son after a week.

  • I I bought phone 4rm jetmart 01 may 2014 and sold it follown day. Is gr8 phone except for battery. Battery is nt compitable to phone. It last 8hours if u nt doing anything. If u download stream play music. It last 1h30. If wifi / bluetooth on it last u 1h00. If keep touchn screen but not doing anything. It last u 3h40. I advise u 2 not buy huawei phone... Its home phone (nid 2 b on charger 24/7) lot ppl say dat on internet of this phone...read reviews.

  • well for the price this is good value for money. A dual core chip running jelly bean, for £69. no brainer. the only niggle is the camera, but i bought the phone as a cheap spare.

  • Yes, Since this a an android phone, you can download the apps (whatsapp, facebook) from google playstore

  • I got this phone in Oct 2013. the phone is great for the price but as time as gone on, i've noticed that the battery drains fast. I usually have to charge 2 times a day and if i watch video then i have to have it plugged at times. one other issue i've seen is that on calls the other person suddenly cant hear you and you have to put it on loudspeaker and take it off to allow them to hear you again. sometime you could do this several times a minute. you can keep it on loudspeaker only either. i dont know whether the later software update will cure this but i cant find out what the latest software update will give me. anybody have any of these experiences?

  • Yes, I have Facebook and i use it daily. i have downloaded WhatsApp but have not used it yet but i'm pretty sure it would work. i also use Viber on it

  • How do I disable background data usage? I want to disable it but still be able send and receive notifications. Thanks in advance.

  • It's a good phone. But better if you flashed CyanogenMod 10.1 on it!

  • Does Huawei supports Whatsapp and facebook?

  • i just bought the phone today HUAWEI Y300....I LOVE IT

  • Hi, I em Hyawei Y300 user. Till now 10 days of using i`ts OK, no overpowering but normal use of phone, great sound through speakers "blessed". I`m interested in updating the software, mine is 182 from swisscom unlocked and using with non swisscom card.It`s possibly to update too a newer software like 189 or 199 for German users, and please explain me someone the procedure how its done. Thank You.

  • Maybe you've got a wrong piece, mine connects to WiFi really fast, in an blink of eye. Only if the signal is too low or the WiFi is overloaded (eg. at shopping centre, cafe etc.), the phone takes long to connect.

  • No, It's not the slowest phone on the Earth. Trust me, I've seen (and used) worse. ZTE Racer or Vodafone Smart, for example.

  • Specs correction The battery is now 1950 mAh

  • The slowest phone on earth

  • Iam a poweruser. I use phones solidly and frequently. I found this phone to begin with, okay. For the money you get good screen size, colour depth, build quality and 4.2 Jellybean. After a while, the screen faded. The phone started crashing such as the menu buttons and simple embedded system apps. It would always crash and restart several times. Keyboards like SwiftKey just seemed incompatible altogether. Always crashing. Browser was slow as hell. Everything after about a week just slowed right down even after several clean formats/factory resets. Avoid this phone if you want quality. Only get if you are after a cheap knock-off Chinese imported phone built in masses for supply and demand. No thorough quality whatsoever. Cheap as they come. Had better phones with less specifications that lasted longer.

  • It has bluetooth which works very well

  • Brilliant phone for the price definitely the best phone under £100

  • Viber will cause probs for the Y300 the other person will not hear you on all calls incl normal and viber it will just drop suddenly. It took a while with many complaints thinking was phone it's not as soon as I deleted viber phone works perfect tried to install it again recently but did the same.I am on the 186, but my mother on the 192 which is the new update it seems to be working ok for her at moment but there again she's never on much. (I so need the update think I'll send away to get done as its a brilliant phone) Unless it is my phone provider I am on virgin. Anyway no probs since got rid! There are loads of other apps that do same and do video call google the top 10 free call apps. Hope you get it sorted :-)

  • If you h e viber uninstall it. The same happenend to me I deleted app and all ok now. Apps can cause a lot of probs. Hope it sorts it for ya

  • i am very pleased with huawei y 300.if compare prize and quality of phone i think it is top offer.

  • You can go to any vodashop or mtn store

  • Its just wonderful mobile I suggest it to everyone if U gotta buy a ascend y300 ur decision is just perfect awesome mobile for awesome budget ..........go on man!!!

  • Am in Zambia and i bought one last month locally

  • Am in Zambia and i bought one last month locally

  • Assalam o Alikum, i bought the Phone a month ago. Everything is perfect nd its the cheapest smartphone on the market. The display is good. The camera works wonders. Love the sound performance. The battery lasts longer, i like the fact that i only charge it once a day... I love my ths Phone...

  • Hi, can anyone indicate to me where can one buy the pouch or cover for this phone. I understand that its new on the market. Residing in Mafikeng, North West Province. Thank you

  • Hi, i bought the fone a month ago. Everything is perfect nd its the cheapest smartphone on the market. The display is good. The camera works wonders. Love the sound performance. The battery lasts longer, i like de fact dat i only charge it once a day its b3 life is stronger. My advice to every1 out there is that u shud gt ur own huawei y300 ul nver regret. Dnt install many appz coz ur device myt respond slow. Thank u HUAWEI

  • ZJ where are u from?...100 megs is such s small amount of data u can't expect 100 megs to last u 30 days..u need to purchase atleast 1 giga of data

  • that is good am cestemer of this company

  • Hi. I am using this Y300 phone and I have brought 100 megabytes for 30 days once-off and mine were over within 5 days.I also tried to switch off data-switch hopping that it would slow down and save my megabytes but there was no difference.I am really irritated because with my previous phone my 100 megabytes would last way more than the 30 days provided. Please advice me on how to stop this because now I`m confused and feel like deleting every single app on this phone!!

  • this is a cheap phone with some good specifications. i got this phone for about $130. what i like from this phone: 1. scratch resistant glass 2. good quality of speaker 3. huawei qwerty input method what i dislike: 1. it has kind of multitasking issue 2. super slow i don't know how to fix those serious problem, i guess i am just gonna change the phone instead. save up for another android phone.

  • the phone is very good on its class but wifi takes ages to connect

  • User available memory is ca.: 1,05 GB internal (virtual SD) cca. 900 MB of application memory (for installing APKs)

  • Phone is great. Cheap and works well. Ram is a bit small but you just need to keep closing apps if you don't root. My phone isn't rooted as I don't want to void my warranty, so I just use Du speed booster to temporarily boost ram. Also use defragger pro every morning, then reboot and phone regains a lot of speed. Screen resolution is great, had a galaxy trend plus, I prefer this phone, and it's half the price, battery lasts longer too.

  • Hi I want to ask that how much user memory is available?

  • I have a lot apps installed, and the free RAM ranges from 80 to 150MB

  • I've just sent 4 tweets concerning this potentially harmful issue, to the following: @HuaweiDevice @Huawei @HuaweiUSA @HuaweiDeviceUSA Other users of the Y300 - please consider doing the same. To the moderators on GSM Arena - please don't delete these 2 posts as they are important to people who've purchased this phone, IMO.

  • Not officially ; you'd need to root the phone first, then select from one of the available KitKat (equivalent) ROMs on a site like Modaco. It's time-consuming & fairly complex if never done so before, and you can 'brick' your phone so would need to be careful if you tried. Also, read comments of any ROM you might try using beforehand, as that will indicate known problems.

  • Have you tried following any of this: go to Settings - Language & input - then adjust settings in each of these by ticking in the box & touching the wheel on the right. It's possible the keyboard hasn't been set to use as the default (which seems strange). However, recommend you change to another free one from the Google Play store, like "TouchPal X"

  • To everyone using this phone - I don't want to put the 'fear of the devil' into you all, but in case you've not yet read, there is a (potential) security vulnerability in using the Y300. Essentially, phones like the Y300 running Jelly Bean version 4.1.1 are now a problem for users, as usernames/passwords can apparently be hacked from them. This (along with many other articles) explains why: Heartbleed: 50m Android phones may be affected, report shows Things I've either already done / intend doing: 1. Deleted any GMail, Twitter, Facebook accounts I had on the phone, whether an account I setup or via a browser. 2. Checked my phone for a security update - there was nothing up to last night. 3. Checked their website for a security update - the only file they have is the original JB 4.1.1 ROM. 3. Tweeting @Huawei - PLEASE DO THE SAME ; THEY NEED TO BE BOMBARDED WITH TWEETS TO RELEASE A FIX ASAP - to ask them when they're going to release a patch to fix this security breach (I read that Google have done what they need to in this regard, and now it's up to the manufacturers to release something OTA or a downloadable file). 4. If no response via Tweets, please consider E-mailing them within the next week ; search their website "huawei media contacts" - these are the only email addresses I could find ; they also need to receive enough emails (if they ignore Tweets) requesting a fix so they bother doing something soon, else they'll drag their feet. We shouldn't be vulnerable, because they can't be bothered in even communicating with the scores of people who have bought this phone. If anyone knows of any communication by them indicating a fix (which I doubt would've happened so soon) please post something here (with reference/s) to that effect. (nothing in the "News" on this website, regarding this, as I've just looked).

  • how do you u guys send music and images besides without Bluetooth# why doesn't the y300 have Bluetooth?

  • Hae everyone,i recommend this phone for 80%.camera,flash,display,battery,memory-all fine.only that main speaker sound abit low,processor also abit slow.all in all just a gd phone.

  • I have this phone and I'm just wondering, can I update my android version to 4.4 kitkat?

  • How my keyboard should appear ? my keyboard does not appear automatically or not at all when i want to type a message or look for anything through the store. have you met the same issue? thank you

  • what a phone?

  • I love this phone, pliz get it

  • I have 713MB still available for applications. I've not downloaded too many apps, though - just essential ones. Have you put a MICRO SD card into your phone yet? (preferably get Sandisk, IMO). I have an 8GB card to which I send all mp3's / mp4's / podcasts, and as many other apps as the developers have allowed for, given the phone's not rooted (now). If you don't yet have a card, buy one & move what you can across - that'll free-up memory. Also, put Clean Master (& CM Security) onto the phone so you can easily boost the RAM, clear cache, free-up memory. I did root it on the weekend, to see if I could move ALL apps across, but Chrome (which takes up about 80MB in Internal) wouldn't budge. The SD-card needs to be partitioned, apparently, for that to work, but I couldn't be bothered at that stage - reverted back to non-root. Finally, I get quite a bit of "app isn't installed" error messages when the phone's been idle for quite some time - don't know if it's a lack of RAM or simply incompatibility issue, but just restart phone when it happens.

  • how much ram do you have left after installing your apps?

  • how mych Ram do you guys have left im experiencing serious app crashes and phone is slow due to the fact that i have 50 mb left of ram on the handset

  • I ran out of time to edit my post, but wanted to adjust/add to the top: It uses the standard QWERTY keyboard to which you refer. I don't use it personally, but have looked within the settings - seems to use the Android keyboard (built-in) to which you can tick option for "Huawei Input Method" ; if you buy the phone go to Settings - Language & input - then adjust settings in each of these by ticking in the box & touching the wheel on the right. However, recommend you change to another free one from the store, based on my original post.

  • It probably uses the standard QWERTY keyboard to which you refer. Although I have the phone, I switched almost immediately to using the FREE "TouchPal X Keyboard" from the Google Play store. Virtually any other free keyboard from the Play store should be superior to the standard one that's built into the phone, so try them out. Another good one is "MultiLing" which has numerous options for keypad layout. Just search for 'free keyboard' on Google Play. In fact, I'm thinking of trying out Perfect Keyboard next.

  • You can use any SIM from any network. Technically you should have no problems. The only issue you might have is if the phone becomes faulty (after 1-year) & you take it in for a repairs. MTN will have wanted you to of used their SIM in the phone & if they pick up that you haven't it's probable you'll only get the 1st-year manufacturer's warrantee/guarantee. (MTN these days are supposed to cover the phone for repairs in the 2nd year, but using a Voda. SIM could make that null & void).

  • does the HUAWEI Y300 use QWERTY touch screen key pad?

  • hi can someone please advice on switching sim cards I just bought the y300 yesterday and it came with the Mtn starter pack and am currently m a fan of Vodacom so can I switch from the mtn to voda?wont it give me problems??????please advise ASAP!!!!!

  • I bought mine 2days ago, It works well so far, it fast n iddnt hv any problem to download my mains apps such whtspp, bbm, viber...and some games. im only disappointed abt the camera, the quality is so poor while it a 5Mp.

  • If he's not using the phone much, or at all after recharging (ie. it's in standby mode), then it sounds like the battery's a dud. You'll probably need to take it in to where bought, but issue with that is that after 4 months, they'll take the phone in & who knows when you'll get it back. Maybe phone the store to check the turnaround time/s.

  • Possible you'll find a few things that irritate you about this phone. For me, the lack of memory & fact that when I switch it on after some time, it sometimes says an app that I want isn't installed. I then have to restart the phone to get that app to start working, which takes about 1 minute, so not terrible. Apart from these few things, it's overall good value for money.

  • I've just tested the Sound Recorder app on the Y300 and it seems to work (fine) - recorded sound from the TV, and even though recording wasn't great after playback, it still works. Opened the app, pressed the red button on bottom-left, then same button to stop, and bottom-right button to playback. Hope it helps, but seems to me that you're looking for much more, in terms of quality of recording required.

  • Try Settings - Language & input - (ensure) Huawei Input Method (is ticked) - then touch the wheel/gear on the right - Input settings - untick all the (Auto correction and) Predict next word options on that page. However, if you want a better keyboard, download TouchPal X (free) from Google Play, and make it your default keyboard, also in the Keyboard & input methods page, once downloaded. Overall, you should find it to be far better at text prediction, but you can choose your settings under "Smart input" which includes options to enable/disable Word & Sentence gestures + Contextual prediction. Try it out - nothing to lose.

  • Search for a conference call app in Google Play, and see if it works out for you.

  • Brought my son this for Xmas the battery is very very bad he charges it and it is dead within hours, not very good at all since it is only 4 months old

  • Need to knw if I can do conference call?

  • I want to buy this phone .wont it give me problems?

  • I want to buy this phone...Is it good or Very Good ... I need coment's.

  • how do i turn off the predictive text , i went through my settings menu could'nt find any thing . other then that no complaints

  • Yes, it can open PDFs. Just download Adobe Reader (or another app from Google Play).

  • The speaker is really loud, so you won't have any problem hearing it from 3 meters in quiet place, but when outside or at noisy site, you probably won't hear it from 3 meters

  • Bought the phone, downloaded Facebook along with many other apps. All working fine no problems 100% satisfied. Only problem experienced can't add pictures to some contacts but I put this down to a User Error or a 1 D 10 T error.

  • How is the sound quality??? can't u really hear it from 3m?

  • why does when switchoff huweii phone battery charging for 7hours then plug off.swithch on phone only 4% charg indicate...while phone battery display idle 46%..screen 16...so and so

  • cannot play on loudspeaker mode.

  • I think you need to delete the CACHE from these 2 apps & on the phone in general. Go into SETTINGS - Manage Apps - click on respective apps, scroll down & tick on Clear cache. Exit, then scroll across (right) to either "On SD Card" or "All". At top are "Clear cache" headings & clear there as well. You can clear the Cache for any other apps, individually as well, which I think is good practice to get into the habit of. In addition, it's worth installing "Clean Master" app from the Play Store if you haven't already got it. The app should appear with a "1 Tap Boost" icon next to it, from which you can boost memory, but go into the app to also delete JUNK FILES. The above should all help the apps run more smoothly, on such a low memory device as this. If above things don't work in refreshing these 2 apps, try deleting & re-installing them, and try again. I use Twitter - 3 different accounts - and all fine, via the app. Facebook I use minimally, logged on via a web browser, so you might need to revert to that if not sorted out after all this.

  • Sounds like a software glitch, of which this phone seems prone to quite a number of different ones. If in RSA, take it back within 7 days (under the Consumer Protection Act) for a new one, just about no questions asked. Hopefully the next one will 'behave' properly.

  • Drag the white ring in the centre to the green ring to answer, and to the red ring to reject.

  • I might be dumm, but I can not answer the phone, when it rings I have the pulsating white rings a white phone handle in center a green one to the right and a red one on the left I can tab any of them for how often I like the phone just rings out. I can't answer nor stop it. Badly need help only had the phone for 3 days. Cheers

  • hay fist when I start Huawei it don't use internet and radio at same time

  • Yes you can use Skype. Just did..

  • Hi I have a problem logging-on my Facebook and twitter accounts. Whenever I try to log-in the screen goes blank for a few seconds and says error in loading page.What is most confusing is that the things it shows there are old, it's like its not updating new information. When I log-on with my laptop I see more recent newsfeed. Please help, what may be the problem and how do I fix if?

  • hello I had the same problem I downloaded 1 mobile market it is an app like google play which enables you to download other apps eg. whatsapp

  • I jus want to ask with huawei Y300 you can use skyp also

  • Can someone please tell me why I get email notifications when there's no email come in.

  • Can it open Pdf file?

  • wow this phone can download bbm? it is a nyce phone then....

  • Hi Guys please help!!! I am unable to send messages from this phone but i can receive..tried checking the service centre (M using MTN) but didnt find it under the message settings :( but other than that the phone is perfect.

  • Been a few days since you posted, so don't know if you'll return to read what should be the answer : tap on Settings (tab), tap on Mobile networks, then Data enabled. Tick "Enable always-on mobile" (which to me is a dangerous thing to do, unless you're on pre-paid + not contract) ; in "Access Point Names" your ISP should be marked with a blue dot next to the name (showing it as the APN in the next screen if you tap the name) ; make sure lower down that page/screen that you've unticked "Use only 2G networks", and below that you can select the Network Operator, either manually or auto. That should be all!

  • It doesn't have BBM pre-installed (mine didn't), but you can download it via the Play Store or using AppBrain (which takes you to the Play Store to do the download).

  • Don't think you can check a Service Centre number. If you tap a message that's come in, all it seems to show under Message Details is : Type, From & Received (date + time).

  • how do I reduce data usage?goodness its taking so too much data for apps like whatsapp ofwhich they are cheap

  • try an app called BATTERY on playstore....Its soo small yet offers so much without taking Memory

  • i have done that,im returning the phone at the dealership because i had a phone for 5 days only

  • Looking for a FREE battery level indicator app that isn't resource hungry. Preferably shows %'s as well, or only %'S is also OK. Have tried one or two in the past which seemed to take over to some extent - I don't pick up which ones in my AppBrain account on phone as probably so long ago, the list doesn't go down far enough. Any suggestions ? - and if it can be moved to SD Card will be even better.

  • @greg and @greggles : re Broadcast Messages, there was a detailed post a page back dealing with the process. Essentially follow these steps & you should come right: To start with: Find & click-on the Cell Broadcast app (should be on the phone already), then Settings (click the 3 horiz. stripes bottom right of phone) & within Channel configuration (final heading), untick whatever is broadcasting (in that case it was "MTN ZONE 50"). Post carried on: de-selected everything else within that app as well, especially Vocal alert messages (unticked)& Alert reminder (Off). Then also consider (like poster did) : Settings - Manage Apps - scroll across to 'All' - then down to 'Cell broadcasts' - disabled that app.

  • Have you tried: 1. taking out the battery, then putting it back after a few minutes & seeing if it reboots properly after that ; 2. pressing down on the power button again, then if the popup screen again appears, pressing "Power off", leave for a few minutes, then again on power button + hopefully it boots up properly again ?

  • love it!!!!!!!!!

  • This could mean anything. They probably changed the password, encryption or sth. You should try to delete the network profile and then add it again and enter the correct password. If they don't use password, ask the school's staff or your classmates, if there is any problem with the WiFi authentication.

I even let my phone install overnight and when I woke up in the morning, It still shows "Installing". Can someone help me? It's getting really frustrating now....

  • Have you read through these things in this Skype for Android link: ­ How do I know if my contacts are able to make and receive video calls? How do I change my video call settings? You might need to address one or both of those two issues before it can be sorted out.

  • Simply uninstal viber and it will be OK

  • Please tell me how I can see the people I am video calling on skype from Y300

  • Please tell me how I can see the people I am video calling on skype from Y300

  • Hi can someone please help me, I installed skype on my Y300 and it works wonderfully however I cannot see the people I am video calling... How can change this??

  • Hi can someone please help me, I installed skype on my Y300 and it works wonderfully however I cannot see the people I am video calling... How can change this??

  • I don't know if your phone is locked .

  • I presume these instructions for the Y200 will be the same for your Y300 to follow - "In order to restore functionality of your phone, you will need to perform a factory reset operation." :- I forgot my password pattern and now I cannot use my Huawei 200 phone. What shall I do? Don't know what the Menu Button is referred to in the link - maybe the Y200 has one [?] so just try using Volume Up and Power button. Good luck!

  • Correcting myself!(Posted anonymously) "..it's eat through your data fairly quickly." should read "it'll eat through your data fairly quickly." + "..the phone will come an MTN SIM." should read "the phone will come with an MTN SIM."

  • Annette, I've contributed to some of the RSA posts here recently. You're asking a very general question, as only you'll know exactly what you use the phone for - if for eg. you get a lot of mail with attachments, then sure, it's eat through your data fairly quickly. I suggest a few things: Likely that wherever you buy it, the phone will come an MTN SIM. You can use either Cell C or Telkom Mobile 3G prepaid instead, if wherever you're based, your signals are strong enough - test out with prepaid SIMs that cost nothing or next to nothing. You get more data for less through them ; but have either/both MTN or Vodacom SIMs as backup, in case you're totally reliant on 3G (ie don't have Wi-Fi access), or need to guarantee a signal in SA. You can put an app like this from the Play Store on the phone : Data ON-OFF Not used it myself, as link up via Wi-Fi most of the time, but try it out. Use Opera Mini for browsing as much as you can, as that compresses the data. The GMail app works well, so if using that service, allow it to sync about 2-10 days worth of mails at a time - I find it to use a nominal amount via Wi-Fi, but Twitter can add up quickly with all the refreshed pages. Note that a more compelling thing to consider is whether you're prepared for a phone that has only 512 MB RAM as internal memory, as it suffers somewhat from lag the more apps you put on (even taking into account those you can move to SD card), but for the price, most of us live with it! Good luck, but I'm sure you'll be fine.

  • Hi, I'm considering buying this phone (RSA), but am concerned about the data usage. Can someone tell me if the data usage is high? If so, can it be managed or not? Tx :)

  • Does anyone know where I can download Android OS updater on my PC so I can upgrade the OS from Jellybean 4.1 to 4.3?

  • just go check your playstore and such for an app king soft it will help yo

  • my phone acsend y300 is locked? i forgot my patteren for unlocking i tried lot's of patrens now my phone is asking to go with your email:? now what i do?

  • install adobe reader is available on play store

  • I got this one last week here in Switzerland. Paid $40,- and I got $ 10,- phone credit. For that kind of money it is an amazing deal. It's not an iPhone or Samsung, but for 5 percent of the price it delivers 90 percent of the tricks! Their home-made OS takes a bit getting used to, but in the end it is largely logical and practical. Runs a whole day, and charge overnight, no problem. If you take pictures under good circumstances (bright light) you won't be disappointed. And if taking pictures is THAT important, then maybe you should get a proper camera, right?.

  • I thought it has a document viewer. so how can I view my documents?

  • just bought the fone today downloaded my whatsapp and my BBM and its working lekker i must say its a very good fone for its price range i dnt regret buying it

  • Pleasure - glad you checked back & managed to sort it out ; it is a highly annoying thing eMpTyN did!

  • It's cheap for it's price but the problem is, when i talk with someone, sometimes i don't hear him/her or she/he don't hear me for a time, and it happens often, what is the problem? Please help me.

  • This phone is great for its price!

  • Shot a lot... That cell broadcast thing did the trick :-) Thank you so much!

  • does this phone support BBM

  • I want to see pics that my friends send me. Except that I had it turned off when I got the phone. Now I want to see pics people send me. How can I turn it on again. signed EMU CREEK

  • Also bought this in RSA, and managed to disable this unwanted & annoying 'feature' when I first got the phone - trust MTN to do something like this! Don't know if I remember everything I did, but to start with: Find & click-on the Cell Broadcast app (should be on the phone already), then Settings (click the 3 horiz. stripes bottom right of phone) & within Channel configuration (final heading), untick MTN ZONE 50. I've de-selected everything else within that app as well, especially Vocal alert messages (unticked)& Alert reminder (Off). Then also consider like I did : Settings - Manage Apps - scroll across to 'All' - then down to 'Cell broadcasts' - I Disabled that app. Why I state 'consider', is that the above might affect other functions you want on the phone, but I personally couldn't care for Cell broadcasts in any form - almost sure unticking the MTN ZONE 50 will prevent you from getting woken up at night ! Don't think I needed to touch the myMTNza app - in fact, just checked & see that within the Settings etc., see that app still enabled + to show notifications, but disabling the Cell broadcast one did the trick. I'll check in, in next day or two, so if anything else, post + I'll try help you out. Mooiloop!

  • Man I so wish I could help u I had the same voice prblem now I'm trying to recall how I got to it as now I'm juggling that whatsapp and that voice but I'll findout how deleted it

  • Pls can anyone help as do I load whatsapp on this phone????

  • This is a great phone for its price! It can handle almost any app that my Galaxy S3 can. I just have one question: At random times (usually at night while I'm sleeping) a "mobile broadcast" keeps popping up saying zone xyz %, xyz %. Not only is it displayed on the screen, but there is a woman's voice speaking the notification. I've tried turning off all wifi connections and gps connections, but it hasn't helped. I'm on MTN South Africa. Please could someone help me urgently?

  • Forget the box ,just see the phone .

  • evrything

  • Hello. I would go for Y300. As you said, the features are almost the same, excluding the camera, which is 5 MP and does affordable pictures in daytime. The battery depends on where you live (there are two versions - 1730mAh and 1950mAh). Here in the Czech Republic, we have the 1950mAh battery. With light use, the battery lasts 2-3 days. When using camera/data/WiFi, the battery is empty in 1-1,5 days. When playing games or watching movies, you can drain the battery in nothing more than few hours.

  • here in Europe (Czech Rep.), the box colour is white. But the box colour doesn't have affect on the phone's features or acessories included.

  • Got this phone yesterday to replace my old sluggish blackberry that was falling to pieces must say for the price it is impressive, got all the apps i need and they work fine, if you are on a budget go for it might not have the brand power and status of other phones out there but definitely does the job

  • what color is the box of this phone, I have a green one in kenya?

  • Please help me decide which one is better in terms of battery life. Huawei Ascend Y320 or Huawei Ascend Y300? All I am focused towards is longer battery life. If y320 gives better battery then it would be perfect for me since the other features are almost same excluding camera. Those having user experience please a reply. Thanks

  • Daz it download whatapp or facebook

  • @Pegasus66 - I recommended the Touchpal X keyboard a few minutes ago -; when I re-read your post again, I saw you were having problems concerning the Messaging app. + I'd assumed it was for e-mailing. I've since tested the Messaging part on my phone, (as as Touchpal X is my default keyboard), and once it registers I want to start typing, calls up my default keyboard. Therefore, as long as you activate either this or any new keyboard in the settings (as explained previously), it should pop-up whether for e-mail, messaging, notes (ie. note-taking app.).

  • Hi Pegasus66 - I've had the same phone for more than a month, but cannot help you out with that (presumably) built-in keyboard issue; will recommend you download what you'll find to be a far superior 100% FREE keyboard from the Google Play store (or via Appbrain if registered there). Search for TOUCHPAL X ; link: You won't be sorry ; remember to activate this keyboard in the Settings, under Sub-headings, "Language & input", then scroll down to "Keyboard & input methods" and select Touchpal X (obviously after it's downloaded to your phones). Finally, go into the new keyboards settings, and adjust / play around with them until happy. You'll no longer need to type in whole words as the word prediction is usually very good + can either swype whole words to the bottom of the screen to select them, or select them from a bar in the centre of the screen, based on the word prediction. Much better, I'm sure, than the built in app. Hope you come right!

  • Hi, My partner bought one of these to replace his broken phone & has been happy with it so far, so when i needed to replace my phone due to an accident i purchased one as well! :) A major problem we seem to both have is when we put the message keyboard onto English (9-key) input method it WILL NOT identify "I" as a word & keeps putting in "g"!!!! very very very annoying to say the least!! :/ It also has a tendency to make some of the words in the sentence i am typing to have a Capital letter. We have tried restoring to factory settings but it still happens. It only does this if the keyboard is English (9-key) setting. Can someone please help???

  • Excellent phone! Guys dont get caught to these rumours.. its a really good phone. Wont lag at all. supports most of the applications(important ones.Camera is great.No lagging during playing games. Can play Sims without lagging. my S2 started lagging while playing Sims! I suggest you guys to buy this phone! well done Huawei.. Good job

  • The Huawei(sorry, didn't mean to throw up) Ascend y300 is useless. It just stops working. I can still text people and call them, so I'll just keep it 'til my contract runs out or the phone dies, I believe the latter will be sooner. My camera has died, my SD is not usable. I cannot install anything from Google Play. This phone is a piece of (add your own expletive).

  • Excellent phone for the price. Why do people forget it's low price? I don't see any other one on the market that can beat this phone in the same price range.

  • Time to make new edition huawei, this phone is now 1 year old...

  • I assume that you were trying to play Gameloft games? Well if thats the case then its not the phone. Its simply a bug caused by the developer. The games are not compatible with some of the Jelly Bean versions

  • I got HUAWEI Y300 MOBILE On jan 17th it was purchased from kuwait I had problem while roming Activation not working, while receive the call out voice mute automatically within the 15 second what is the problem where can i get repaire

  • My God, why do so many people expect miracles?! Before you go bashing this phone, just reread the price tag! And read it again!! And again!!! And now think about it for a minute and look for a better phone in that price category. You won't find one. This isn't an iPhone and doesn't try to pretend to be one. It runs Android for God's sake. Bottom line is that the value for money on this phone is unbeatable. For anybody who doesn't give a toss about image and just wants a phone to actually TELEPHONE with and maybe a bit of email and chat and take a few snapshots on top of that... it's unbeatable IMO. I've had mine 3 months. It's slow, text editing is a nightmare and RealRacing 3 crashes immediately but that's exactly what you expect from an Android phone in this price category. Phoning and Email works flawlessly and the camera is OK for a quick snapshot, so I give it 10 out 10 all round. Love it.

  • im struggling to download bbm on this phone i guesws its just a joke theis no bbm on this phone

  • Ibought Huawe Y300 on sartday,the problems is only using the language I don"t understand.I tried to change into English bt it denying.

  • Huawei IS a trusted manufacturer. China is much more clever than you think. And some manufacturers decided to use their country tremendous know-how (in terms of high end technology) and to produce quality products. Huawei is one them. This being said I wouldn't buy this phone. Equivalent to an s3 Mini with only 512 of RAM. It's light.

  • So many trouble on that phone, first when I listen to music and I touch the top button to unlock it often restart itself... really annoying as I listen music a lot. Then I can't connect to internet, it gets 3G but no way to browse or use apps unless Facebook... it's a real mystery. I'm using virgin, what should I do? reset?

  • hey meg, I have the same problems, internet doesnt work at all even if I get 3G... are you with virgin? it seems to be a problem with them...

  • Can't get more trusted than Australia Post. Thanks for a non answer

  • So far......so good! Can't complain :)

  • Buy your phones from a trusted dealers.

  • I purchased a Ascend Y300 on 27/02/14. When I connected it to my PC it crashed the PC. I took it back and they replaced it with a new one. Un fortunately this one does the same. Soon as I connect I get a blue screen then PC reboots. This means I can't download anything to this phone. Very disappointed.

  • Take your phone back,and ask for a new one .that one is faulty

  • I been using this phone almost a year and I can say that it is brilliant.... camera is ok, sounds... battery..I can video call over skype... sure the net.... al in all awesome phone.

  • skype call is ok good result

  • I have recently bought this phone type - 3 days ago. I am trying to download WhatsApp but am not successful till today. Can anyone assist please? It looks fine, it takes good pictures and the screen is good at least for now (not able to predict the future state).

  • This phone does not stay with charge for a while, so the battery is not good!!

  • I have the Y300 for a week now.. I loved it the first 2 days.Now I hate it.. Keyboard just stops working right in the middle of when im typing,extremely slow even when just on the home screen. Maybe my one is just faulty but its really frustrating

  • Can you make skype video call and BBM on this phone?

  • good phone for price

  • I have bought Ascend Y300 2 days ago and I am not really satisfied with it's performance , although I have read a lot of good comments about it but I don't know if I am having a faulty piece or my criteria is up (2nd gues can be wrong because I had been using Voice V30 with same specs with awesome performance). Fault 1: with normal use too the battery drains too much fast that it can hardly survives 11 hours (I have heard about 1.5 average day of battery time). Fault 2: It's speed is much low than expected. I have installed subway surfer in it and that was running much slow. also it takes time for opening the app or when sliding to another page on home screen. My some friends asked to factory reset it and then to observe. Should I do it? Or I should Claim the warranty? I am in a beg mess. I'll be thankful If someone will give a helpful comment.

  • Skype,viber,whatsapp,we chat,yahoo,work fine on with wify and video messages and video call on some available work fine, map give navigation and talk direction on initial setup.

  • Does this phone allow me use skype?

  • You probably meant Adobe FLASH Player to play flash games etc. Yes, it does support flash player, but you must search on google to find a working version. I tried cca. 10 versions and only one of them worked well.

  • does this phone has "USB-On-the-Go" feature. Answer me as soon as you can.thanks a lot

  • I just cant use it. Bought it last week. Turne off too quickly. Desktop parts turns without me asking it. I have read and reread the instructions and still no good. I am within a hares breadth of putting it on the floor and smashing it with my high heel!

  • does it support adope reader

  • There should be no problems running NFS Shift on this phone. I have NFS Most Wanted on it and it runs perfectly smooth.

  • 1. Try to connect the phone to PC using mass storage and see if you can access the card from PC {or put the card into a card reader}. 2. If you can open the card and see its contents, the card is fine. 3. Try to hard reset the phone, and see if the problem has disappeared. If it didn't, then it's hardware problem and you have to take your phone to the service for repairance.

  • If you're having such this problem, try to factory reset the phone. The bug might disappear. If the problem persist even after reset, take your phone to the service center for repair.

  • What do you do with that phone? Do you play games, watch videos, or is it just a light use (SMS,calls etc.)? Try factory reset and if it doesn't help, then claim your warranty. Hope this helps. Best regards. Dave

  • thanks a lot for your tips

  • I own this phone it is great considering its low price and specifications. It's performance is well rounded and does it's job well. I do not have any problems with this phones battery as some people have stated and generally last me a whole day with medium usage, listening to music, playing the occasional game and looking the odd thing up on Google and YouTube. The phones camera takes clear pictures (being 5MP), although the front facing camera is a bit blurry. The only thing I dislike about this phone is it's small screen size and limited internal storage space(which can be expanded using a microSD). I recommend this phone if your on a budget.

  • This is a very.gud fone. Its got a front nd back camera nd clear pictures. Its got almost most of the Samsung galaxy features

  • This phone has poor battery life...it can barely stay an hour....any suggestion on how to fix this?

  • The voice recording is loud and audible on playback. But unfortunately, if you take a second recording, you cannot find back the first recording item. May be I am incorrect, and if you're right, tell me how to record over 1 time, and still show the recording track reference so that you can hear it back.

  • the phone requires you to kill the unwanted apps by cleaning them... long press the centre key down there and you will see the running apps, then cleat them to get ram memory... for camera opening as default, you are the one making the mistake, at the lock screen, look at the side where the unlock direction is.. dont drop the unlock key, take it to the right if you are using the theme with 4 unlock sides with apps...

  • Turn off the phone, remove the battery for atleast 5 sec and then put it back. Now press and hold both POWER and Volume UP buttons for 10 seconds. You'll get into Recoverz menu, where zou can reset zour phone.
