  • internet speed is faster than lightening when being used as a modem

  • I can only assume that your remark was dripping with sarcasm and dribbling irony everywhere? I have the phone, and it's mostly great but fast with data it ain't! Even using my Broadband connection to get the data, I spend more time waiting for pages to load than i spend actually reading the pages when they do arrive. I assume this is actually down to the (lack of) RAM (it only has 256mb) or the teeny weeny processor (512 megahertz) rather than slow data reception speeds. Still a great phone for the money though.

  • very extrordinary set no set will stand infront of this set in the speed of data processing

  • i lov 8!!!

  • am relishing 2 usin diz device

  • hats off to this phone... samsung doesnot stands any where....

  • I also used this phone .It is Better phone than samsung Mobile

  • I used this mobile for more than 3 years.This is my first android phone.This is the best phone I have used. You cant except work this as a samsung s4.I can confirm you if you have low budget this is the best phone in the market.Huawei is the best brand so far.

  • The 2.2 OS is way out of date and not easily upgradeable. During a support chat with Norton to try and remove Norton Internet Security App an attempt to perform a safe boot (their recommendation) a "Firmware Update" was instigated and since then the phone is completely dead. Goodbye T-Pulse Mini (Huawei U8180 mobile - replacement now required. I believe this model is now discontinued.

  • If you want to install 2.3 you'll need to root your phone then use3 cyanogen mod 7.2. I used this build here: Many instructions will tell you to use GooManager, but you can't because the phone only uses android 2.2. Donload the rom manually, then put it on an sdcard and find instructions on how to flash it using clockwork mod recovery.

  • idea huawel 8180_1manypatternattemptsi entterd my email and password it says invalid user name and password i have rest my password and tried again but still unable tolog in to my phone try to restore your

  • good phone, really value,if u limited softwares download very fast.

  • its good for internet...but battery backup not sufficient...nd i dnt like its camera ...

  • you have to remove some apps then ur touch will be faster

  • camera - great internet - great speed - good (not perfect ) battery - drains fast unless you change to 'go launcher' making it super fast. gaming - great as a modem-wonderful light sensor - perfect generally its a phone worth your cash.

  • is it whatsapp work on this device

  • This is a modification of ideos u8150 but os 2.2.2 and slightly light. Not good for those high graphic apps but for simply calling and texting it's awesome.

  • check your google account for authenticates.

  • for people who are leaving negative reviews, this version of an android device is indeed reliable in one case, it lets you have a real Official Android device that fits on your pockets grasp.

  • Please yes you can have skype on but its only audio not video.

  • it's a good phone, it's fast enough but has a couple of challenges that should be considered. 1) it keeps on restarting itself 2)the battery life is quite low 3)keeps on hanging while working with it. 4) the wifi button isn't working 5) dust forms below the screen

  • wonderful phone,but does not hold charge for long.

  • may be is ur network operator, talking of network it working well, i'm using it for past 18 months now. the only pro of the phone is low spec, so it make the phone slow

  • i would like to know why my huawei phone at times just cant access mobile network especially from 6 to 8 in the evening even if i switch it off and on it will still display emergency calls only

  • I just purchase my huawei u8180,wil the battery last long for me?

  • Why can't instagram work on it

  • wer do ma downloaded stuffs go nd i do i fix ma net settings

  • How do I put music on it from my computer?

  • has anyone got an unblocking code for this phone

  • I bought this phone very cheap and it was my first smartphone. The Good: The price Features Camera takes decent pictures in daylight GPS works fine Decent screen The Bad: Small internal memory Slow, but it helps to download another launcher (I use Launcher Pro) Sometimes it reboots randomly - extremely annoying Mine has dust under the screen

  • how can i speed it up so it doesnt lag after leaving a game or really after doing anything

  • Its a nice smart mobile. Nice style. but battery life is too short!

  • processor is very bad.sometimes the phone gets hanged

  • Please someone help me i cant install whatsapp anymore it says application not install or if download from play store it says package not correctly signed please i need help nooowww am so desperate

  • A great value phone

  • I have one U8180 and it's FANTASTIC !!!!! Thank you Huawei for making a cheep and value phone.

  • battery warranty end in 6 month. so purchase a new battery.

  • download a blacklist software from playstore

  • no protection given by manufacturer. You can use a scratch guard on it from outside shops

  • plz can any one tell me what is the protection used in this 4n? is it the gorilla glass or something else?

  • I purchased my X1 when my main android broke, as a cheap replacement. I found after the first month, the battery life totally died, and the stock rom was rather bloated. It runs nicely with an unofficial cyanogenmod port. Still doesn't fix the battery though- they really should have supplied it with a beefier battery in my opinion.

  • I had this phone for about a year, after the first week the battery started to get worse (about 1 hour maximum). Then after about two months, the screen became unresponsive in a large amount of areas, and the phone slowed down considerably. After six months the phone became so unresponsive that I could no longer text message people and the back button light died. After 10 months the screen became so unresponsive that I could not unlock the screen properly without it lagging out for at least 30 seconds and the battery lasted about 10 minutes. I would not recommended this phone to ANYONE. Pay the extra money for something that will work for a long period of time.

  • Wow, this phone is great. Some are commenting above negatively but surely, if you don't know how to use it please consult. It is supports all features of Ideos Ascend or Galaxy Pocket. It's performance as a modem is perfect and also as a portable WIFI router for several laptops. It also support Google Play and all great apps found there. The only mere failures are: Low battery life when used as a modem or using many apps at the same time. It also becomes hot while charging and its internal memory for downloaded apps is small, you have to keep on uninstalling old apps to get more space for new ones. Otherwise the phone is good considering its price to functionality.

  • It dosent have adobe flash in broswer !

  • display, sound good.but speed very very slow!

  • hii guys one amazing thing about this phone that amaze me is skype calling..though it has no front facing camera but still it supports skype only with sound,,, & guysss the voice quality is excellentttttt!!!! this is like hd voice calling!!! even it works on 2g so oillly

  • how would I go about rooting this phone?

  • the fone is real goo d for first time xperience of android application, If u don't know android OS, in my opinion it's better than IOS in its versatility. Flaws of this fone are: the battery runs down too fast, it gets hot while charging, its body is just too prone to dafacing, the return icon on the fone doesn't respond instantly.

  • its a kul phone supports all android aplications

  • This phone is a good phone for amateur i bought it 1 year ago and it's perfect camera is good with light speed can be upgraded from 528 MHz to 710 MHz you can play lots of game on it fifa 2010 awesome the bad thing about this phone the ram it's not 256MB it's 160MB so a bit slow in programs and the worst thing about it the battery life after using it for 3 months i think that's all about the hardware about the software you can upgrade yours to GB or ICS simply but you have to root it first ... if you need help just contact me on skype: terminator.stardima any question about it I'll have the answer

  • The original android sucks BUT if I installed Cyanogen mod 7 and now everything runs really fast and batery has a decent drain time good phone AFTER change of android

  • Battery life is terrible, also not so good for testing app development on. For the price of the phone though, its not the worst. Again though, the battery life is remarkably terrible.

  • this is not a good phone at that price because it has no more interesting spec when compared to samsung galaxy y pocket...... it is much better than huawei u8180 ...... galaxy pocket has a 832 mhz cpu it is a very useful while watching video ...... and playying games .. much more ....

  • this is good phone. but this can't support adobe flash. I am a game lover. in this phone u cannot play temple run and many more games. u can't upgrade this is. but I like this phone.

  • Also the battery life is completely ridiculous!!!!!!!!

  • I thought that Huawei was a excellent brand until I brought this phone, I personally blame the android network though as the froyo OS is complete rubbish

  • it's promising.

  • mine fell in the water,,nd it's still working..I like it..

  • how do i unlock ma phone if at all its locked to one network? Then why does my battery run off so fast if at all havent been using it

  • NOOO !! it's not good , battery is terrible , this phone not have capacity , my advice is don't buy, waste of money :S ...

  • The mobile phone is now next to Xbox the preferred gaming platform, where have you been? However this device is very limited in that area. Positives about this device are good screen it is very bright and although not Corning glass, screen is glass and tough. Wifi is good, internet is fast despite slow processor, it does Not have flash support as stated. Specs are similar to HTC wildfire, only in the uk it retails for £27 at assault, so £100 cheaper than wildfire. Audio good through decent earphones, but 3d gaming er no! Video is very jerky apps run slooow...apart from that have no complaint. Internal speaker is loud too, louder than on ascend g300 by far, even with update.

  • im gona buy this phone !!!!! is this phone is good for games and the battery

  • how to use these telephone Ethiopian internate

  • how ncan i install google apps to this phone? and the internet is not functioning. is this a piece of crap?

  • everytime I end an application my fon starts loading n the word loading appears.wots the problem hw du I solve...plz hlp

  • This is a cheap phone and very good value for the money. It has a 600mhz processor and 3.2 Megapixel camera, , GPS and motion sensor and WIFI with tethering capability. Don't even dream of comparing this to more expensive phones like the Samsung Note or Galaxy S2. This is an entry level phone and offers alot of great features for the price. I have one myself. The camera is ok, not great but fine for taking casual photographs. Checking your email, watching you tube, using google maps and checking your facebook this phone is perfectly fine. Its not amazing, but it is amazing for less than $100 which is what I paid for it. Great little phone with alot of features. The pennies you pay for it packs a punch

  • if it's urgent read some reviews. It's obvious. Hell, ring Huawei! Stop carrying on here if you can't work out simple answers.

  • Thanks am just gonna buy it.

  • Hey Friends please give me a Help...... Please Tell me How to update huawei u8180 system software... PlzzzZzZzzZzz.....

  • Actually a good phone with great specs and low budget! Love a lot..!

  • Good: inexpensive. Small so fits easily in hand or pocket comfortably. Good speaker and mic for calls. Built in wifi hotspot for up to 5 devices. Bad: can be slow if too many apps running at once. No flash for camera. 3D games not really possible. Small screen requires a stylus for accuracy. Having stated that, games like Tilt Arena and PewPew1 & 2 run very well, as does GameBoid ;)

  • I this phone is slow and crap. you will not enjoy all the android apps with this. if you are an app lover that wanna put over 40 app, this is not for you. I even want to sell it and buy galaxy note

  • ----> Can anyone tell me does this phone have a camera flash (LED) while doing photos during the night hmmm? ...... ----> And does this phone have a possibility to connect throught the "mobile internet network" (im not speaking for wi-fi) ---->>>please someone answer me this,,,,, cause is urgent,i wanna bye this phone but i`d like to know these things for any case,

  • THis phone have too many functions . . . as never seen earlier in anyone

  • this phone is good but it is for slow use if u use it in a fast hand it can't satisfy u.. games upto 3 or 4 MB playable smoothly but above the size it shows too many lags.. It has a motion sensor which do not work absolutly while playing games.. One thing what makes the phone unattractive is its heating factor.. if u use more than 30 min internet via wap browser it seems that the phone will going to burn... but i think it is not a great prblm.... OTHERWISE this phone is better..

  • Great Phone...!!!

  • Fully Loaded

  • Please may someone using this phone sincerely tell me the good and bad things about this mobile.

  • think it z a nice phone...i want to buy it....can someone tell me,does it support games and video callz? thanks

  • phone and it's apps are nice but the. customer care center of huawei is so bad in India, if you make any complaint to the customer care they even don't note down your complaint, and also they don't even try to solve the problem. if anything goes wrong with mobile you need to handle it on your own. on the warranty card there are a lots of service center written as it is available all around the country but the fact is most of them are not working as huawei service center and also huawei customer care head office don't have any contact with service center, if you complaint regarding this to customer care they won't give any positive reply. so if anything goes wrong with mobile you needs to handle on your own.

  • can u tell why internet connection disconnect any of the time and how to use idea tv

  • Could you please tell me how I can get back to the numbers section on the U8180 when my voicemail asks me if I want to delete a message, I seem to only be able to hang up. Thank You

  • The application messaging (process com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

  • guys i have failed to share music files via bluetooth, the long clicking thing does not return the share option

  • lots of apps on it & easy to use, gps is great, internet straight on no prob not worked out how to save an email picture yet though,

  • What Idiot would play games on a mobile phone. I bought it and for the things I need it is OK. If you want to play games buy a PSP.

  • may this smartphone to used CCTV??

  • I would like to buy this phone but after the comments, am a bit skeptical about it. And how is its android capabilities and internet access in general?

  • Basic smart phone and worth for the price.can keep the battery up longer if data service (3G )is disabled and use as and only needed. Also keep only most crtical apps running. stop non critical apps running all the time. If google maps is running 'Use wireless networks' enabled all the time it also consumes lot of battery power. Also enabling 'Use GPS Satelites' and 'Use quick GPS' option enabled all the time,consumes lot of battery power. use these options as and only needed.

  • This phone have all futures you want in a phone with good price but the main cons is the battery life specally with 3G surfing

  • this is very nice phone, almost all function available in this price.

  • How can I send a shutdown signal to my car using this phone?

  • How to send with Bluetooth to another phone?

  • this is not a bad phone but it's late in the process. you may get better android in Samsung. it was heating when we used half an hour.

  • hi guys! iam using this phone right now... this is a superb cell. you all can try this..... its graphics is good but not the best but speaker,camera,touch capacity,looks,gaming,and other features are superb....you all can try this..... have a good day......

  • I got this phone free on 6 mths contract in nz, its a very basic and very shiny beautiful phone from Huawei , its a pretty small, compact in size, the speaker is very loud and clear and good for playing mp3(player pro app), podcast (beyond pod App)and some videos on (mx player), this phone is not good for high end to medium apps its good for basic applications only, its an android phone so its very versatile and cheap phone for the price for me i got it for free and you cant beat that, it does not play angry bird space. the GPS tracking is pretty good, the camera is very basic and gives out vga quality image, it has wifi for occasional browsing but wifi takes up lot of battery, but you can use internet on this which is pretty neat at first place, but never the less. the buttons have some tactile feel to them, over all a good overall android phone for new comers who are looking for cheap phone. if you want good performance phone they you should look else where. get this phone only if your a basic phone user, not for intermittent and advance android phone users

  • is angry birds fast?

  • For the most part, the phone is great. HOWEVER, it does have problems, it definitely could be better. My phone is flimsy. If I squeeze it, the phone stops working. The battery life is terrible. It. almost renders the phone usless, especially if you are out for the day. I'm lucky if I get 2 hours use out of it. I am very happy with the phone, but if I can't find a decent battery for it very soon, I am going to throw it in the bin. Regards to all, monkeyohohohoh.

  • dis phone misses a gpu it is not recommended for gamers

  • Can I upgrade it to Android 2.3? Thanx

  • me too have this problem :(

  • can it install games

  • Phone internal memory means Available memory or the total memory(including the memory used for Android OS)? Here , RAM is 256 MB but only i can see is 166 MB, Here, Internal Memory is 500 MB but only i can use is 170 MB. Why is that ?

  • battery 2g-1 day normal use, 3g nly half day, rest all great for it's price

  • People need to stop complaining about this device. Sure, the battery might not meet all of your expectations, but you can get a few apps that can prolong your battery's life- such as battery doctor, task killer and APN block. I've been owning this device for about a month, and I'm pleased to say that I'm rather satisfied with its performance in general. The screen is decent and so is the camera. In all honesty, I was positively surprised by the quality of the speaker as well. However, when it comes to sound recording, it's not as good as expected. As far as the software goes, it might lag every now and then. If it bothers you, you can always delete some of the useless apps and improve its speed performance. The best results are achieved by sticking to the default launcher. All in all, if you're looking for a cheap quality device, this should be your gadget of choice. And if in doubt, remember, you get what you pay for!

  • just asking, does this phone have a slide out keypad? if no, is there a model which has one? thanks

  • Download Tubemate, from the web with your phone. Then you can download all the free movies on Youtube directly to your phone, it supports MP4, as well as 3GP, and is smooth, with a better video player from Apps Market even better. FLV is not supported to my knowledge

  • Superb device, especially for price £40 ASDA! Looks like an upgraded T-Mobile mini pulse (which it is). Screen very bright (and WHITE!), a little slow in some areas like browsing but not a fast pocessor, has A-Home as default launcher, works faster with default Android (installed), but nice touch Huawei!! Audio a dream (with a better set of earphones, and Mixzing or similar installed)...Camera decent for price. Multi touch support too.....beats many out their not only in price but its compactness too, less bulky than Xperia Mini Pro....the way ahead. I would give 11/10, so similar to a wildfire but with LOUDER speaher.

  • you click on it to u can move it bottom right hand cnr as you draging it that sqaure box thing turns into a bin and you can get rid of it that way ..or reset your hole phone but you lose all apps,all downloads etc.

  • Depend what you have running the internet and WIFI GPS etc make the battery go though it quick as,they got a app on android market to sae battery but I haven't try it,every phone has there good and bad points. It good for for the price,I paid 200 for my last phone and this was $79 and this is alot better.

  • The Galaxy S has much higher res screen. Can play HD video on the Galaxy S without any trouble. Can only play SD video on the X1. TED app will download HD and SD (when available), but you need a memory card installed. This phone can only play SD downloads from TED. More issues with TED application rather than the phone. My old N95 has better screen, but it isn't touch. The colour depth is far greater on the old N95, but the X1 is still pretty good.
