Huawei U8850 Vision - User Reviews

  • super great, I love this phone so much

  • The plastic part on the top is the antenna. (the antenna is glued to the inside of the plastic) Mine would get dust on the connectors to the antenna. Pull of the antenna, no tools required, but be careful. Clean connectors and put the antenna back on. I remember that the on/off button could easily fall off with the antenna removed. So again be careful.

  • i purchased before ten days and using now.... actually i am posting here what i feel when using it ....and i wish to say i am a heavy user who plying hd games and using internet and apps at high range.... first , the touch sensr of mobile is quit enough for normal use..... camera is not good in indoor, but outdoor feels ok and flash is poor... and intrnal memory of phone for app is more than enough for hd gaming , and u can move the apps to sd card... ram is 512 mb so it is quit insufficient for heavy users.... spb shell launches very good but its using more ram.... battery life is good even i am using internet and playing games countnsly and it is with standing for hole day time.. superb with standing capacity..... but i found in my mobile that the battery is getting heat when charging with huawei charger, i don't know abt others .....! wifi, hotspot and edge working well.... mobiles and headset sound clarity is awesome.... but its reflects in amount of volume- less..... mobile sensors working wellll.... and as said above i am a heavy user, and i played hd games like fl commando, dead trigger, six guns ... its working excellent, with out a single lag.... adreno 2ö5 is working awsome...gpu is like any thing.... and the os is ginger bread is genuine as now a days androids jelly bean and ics all are providing unneccessary inter face making people in to inconvinience ..... finally i satisfied fully with this mobile .....worth purchase for 8000, and huawei 's services is good... they r the legands in tele communication , can go for it with out doubt on that....! a middle range of user at this budget mobile price can go for it....

  • does this set support skype ? howz your experience about skype video calling on it?

  • does this set support skype ? howz your experience about skype video calling on it?

  • Huawei U8850 vision is very good mobile phone. If it hangs, it is due to bad/destroyed/sub-standard memory card. Replace memory card and enjoy it. I purchased a second hand set few days ago and same hanging matter faced and replacement of memory card solved the issue. Do upset with any mobile phone. just be patient and find the the root cause of problem.

  • Use cydia impactor search for it on xda forums

  • go to settings-applications-manage applications-spb3dshell-clear defaults

  • read this thread: www.modaco.com/topic/358192-help-with-rooting-hu­awei-vision-u8850/#entry2036087

  • my vision does not searches for network! and when it does the signal strength is very poor! i am so disapointed.. samsung galaxy 23 works better!

  • hold the power on button +volum up button 5-seconds

  • Is there anyone guide me how to root my Huawei U8850 and its benifit after root?

  • how to upgrade huawei vision u8850-1. it is not upgraded by online upgrade. plz tell me. i have tried but i dont know how to do it. plz tell me.

  • My Phone is hanging how to shut down.... Plz its Urgent

  • My phone doesn't support any SD card above 2GB whereas it is mentioned in the specifications above that it supports upto 32GB. P.S. How to root the set?

  • u can root it with baidu a key root

  • If you didn't select SPB as default interface, press the home button and select default interface instead of SPB Shell. When you power on the phone, also asks you to select an interface. If SPB Shell was selected as default, when you press the home button it will just show you the home screed without asking anything. In this case you'll have to go to Applications -> All -> SPB Shell -> press Clear defaults. After this when you press the home button, or when you power on the phone you can choose the default interface.

  • HOW does one inactivate SPB3D shell?

  • The phone will run smoothly if you deactivate the spb shell 3d. Mine lagged a lot and randomly closed aplications, but today I deactivated the spb shell and it runs like a charm.

  • I bought vision phone few months back, suddenly it stopped charging and when it is charging ie power mode, touch is also not working. I gave phone for servicing to their authorised service center, they informed due to liquid damage under warranty. This is a escapism, I don't trust their statement. Now it is a useless vision.

  • recently i bought this pretty one its a awesome phone and vry fast.I am vry happy to own it.thnx to huawei

  • Rom is the internal storage of apps & Ram is internal storage of running app. Ram & Rom is needed to open a app ok ur dought is clear uh

  • I bough huawei vision last year and I don't have it for a year and it's horrible. It just stop the call, i don't get receive messages and is unbelievaeable slow. Only good thing is battery. Voice is horrible so is kinda annoying to listen music. Luckily, I am getting new phone in few days. Probably Sony Xperia SP. If u care just a little bit about your money, don't buy this phone.

  • better than other huawei of this range i dont care wat others say it runs need for speed most wanted smoothly way better than desire s and ascend y 300 and galaxy s i am still selling it as it is only satisfactory :( i would recommend a second hand nexus s or something 50/100 as 4 me i will buy galaxy s 2 :)

  • bro i have this phone it never crashes but frezes i played need for speed most wanted and it ran smoothly much better than my friends galaxy s besides huawei is the third best company of the world :)....... snapdragon is fast ,i dont care wat others say but i am still buying am s 2

  • bro i have a vision i wish i had bought the y300 butt if u press the volume up button and power off button together for 5 secs it will restart lucky 4 me i am getting a samsung galaxy s 2 :)

  • I must say that this phone is very stupid, because its really slow, it only has one processing unit and it usually makes me to close many of my aplications with no evident reason.I don´t recomend this phone, its a waste of money.

  • This phone is cheap yes! But then there are cheaper Huawei phone 10 Times better than this! It freezes frequently it Restarts frequently u cant take out the battery the memory card problem is annoying then its slow sometimes heats up Wifi bluetooth connection problem. Its wifi network and bluetooth range is surprisingly Less! And its so so so BAD!

  • why the video taken is in 3gp format? .the resolution is 720 but the video is 3gp .what is the reason

  • Huawei vision These are the negatives; Very sluggish camera does not live up to 5 megapixels freeze z very frequently There are problems with wifi and bluetooth Also does not live up to it's 1 ghz snapdrag these are the positives; very good for value only £50 3D enough said good touch android high speed internet good storage good quality music wide range of features

  • You sould check the cap that is hiding the sim card and SD card. That cap acts like an antenna.

  • how can i send audio songs through bluetooth?please give details for same.

  • how to root it buddy..???

  • Doesn't mean anything for the user. Just some internal characteristic (the memory in which the OS is located)

  • Guys what is the meaning of 2 GB Rom.

  • just read on cnet Australia it takes 17 hours to ground and mill each piece of glass hows that for quality and build must be gorilla glass nice one huwaei

  • Does it do HD Voice?!

  • hey guys, does anyone know how to get support for additional languages (which aren't initially supported by this device) without rooting it ???????

  • Freezed can't do anything about it, can't even remove battery.. Or turn off... Am so dissatisfied , just bough it.

  • Just bought vision and so far seems a good phone for 40quid better touch than my desire s was. more responsive yet to try games but when you use does get hot but so do a lot of phones that are Slim because of screen is to close to the battery but does cool down quick when not being used don't mind internal battery as makes less hassle when changing memory card as desire s battery kept falling out when changing memory card will post more if I find anything else not good or better than desire s my desire s kept freezing and crashing so will see what happens when download more stuff for it.

  • Mathematically yes, it's 5mp.

  • Simultaneously press Volume button and power On button, provided it should have charge, or put charger and do above.

  • Thank you.

  • i hav had this phone recently.i lov this phone really but i hav a problem,it is not connecting to gprs i hav even received the settings .can u guys help me? ???????

  • it's a bit dificult the easyeest way is to use the rusian custom rom based on the slovenian one but be carefull it can brick your phone if you make a bad move

  • use volume down and power button then use back and home keys to use the menu for example after the triangle logo prese the back key and then with volumes get to reset to factory or if you have the nb0 file just go to sd card and install it

  • My phone suddenly shut down even though my battery is full and i tried to turn it on but it's failed? how should go about it...

  • Good Phone for its price what I see on upside is low price about 17000/- Rupees in Pakistan, 220 USD, reasonably quick but dont upgrade processor is only 1 GHz with Great Battery time,Great built by China, Downside is tiny screen for advanced users, purely chinese, low brightness overall an average low to mid range cell, Signal strength is good, Data is at good speed even at EDGE level (though Carrier dependent)....Good for Starters Competes with Good old Samsung Galaxy Ace

  • I've had this phone for around a year now and have had to send it back to get fixes twice. Both times the original phone was never sent back and I was issued a completely new phone of the same model. Over the past few weeks I have been having alot of troubles with it- it won't turn on, it's randomly blacks out, it shuts itself down after 30 seconds of being on and I went back to the shop to get it fixed yet again however they advised me not to send it away and instead call my provider and get out of my plan. The man I talked with at the shop said that this phone had actually been recalled and was meant to be taken back by Huawei because it was found that there was many faults. I am now about to call my provider and try to get out of my plan as I have a phone that does not work. I have also heard of the same thing happening a couple of times and the exact same problems have been described. Please do not buy this phone, although it is quite a nice phone. It doesn't work so you would be wasting your time.

  • Rom means internal memory..........

  • how to root my 3d smartfone...????

  • hi...................... i just wanted to know how to reboot it???

  • Do you have any instructions how to root it?

  • i am quite unsatisfied with this phone . it gets hanged frequently and quite difficult to restart it ( through battery reset ) . it has power on button on top which doesnt remain soft enough after few days use .

  • first u have to long press in huawei logo then it will ask u about wifi connectivity just connect and enjoy .......

  • would this phone support video calling?

  • Hello My Huawei U8850 Vision failed to start and it remains on huawei logo stage.....i tryed to restart it pressing simultaneously volume up and power buttons,but it can't pass this huawei logo step. Please tell me what to do. Thanks in advance.

  • How to download games in this phone

  • nope

  • just rooted mine so i've got rid of some preeinstaled apps and now i have 45% ram at idle,no bugs and still can run psx games with no lag or frame drop , smooth fast and cheap . my only problems was with that spb shell launcer now it works and runs like never before , for problems or any cuestion on this phone ask me

  • The phone looks cool. The screen is almost too big but I love it. I don't like SPB so I disabled it. Didn't have any problems till now (1 month), battery is good and it lasts almost 10 hours of non stop gaming. Sound output isn't the best, but if you put it on max the play volume is more than enough. PRO: The phone is responsive, typing is fast, wireless works good, GPS reception is good (even without internet), zilions of android applications CONS: Android version will remain on 2.3.7, flash isn't really useful for photos, but its useful as light. Photos during the day are acceptable, but don't count on it as a digital camera. Overall very satisfied for the price I got in in my country.

  • any body plz tell me what is meaning of ROM? this cell has 2gb rom but we cant see it.

  • because the rest of ram is used by android itself fol system files

  • it's a good phone never had any problems in 4 months. i know that the camera is bad in interior but i didn't bought the phone for the camera . i hate only one thing still no efective root for it for 2.3.7 firmware..and i hate that spb ui theme that comes with it

  • i have 4 huawei phones none had any problems the oldest one has about 4 years and the newast was the vision 4 months and still working perfect

  • do a factory reset and clear cache from recovery mode maybe you will fix the problem

  • yes you can

  • get the official rom from huawei place it on the sd card then press power + volume keys + and - at the same time ps: view tutorial from huawei first there are some steps thet don't fit here

  • hey will u plz tell me how you make your camera good

  • I bought Huawei Ascend G300 and Huawei U8850 Vision the same day and I found that Huawei Ascend G300 is more Impressive than the other one with the ICS upgrade

  • I just bought one of these and it's great. The battery is lasting for more than two days with low use which is impressive.

  • I have been using this phone for a week now. Bought in Carrefour Dubai for 599 Aed. So far the experience had been better than expected, It does all that it should with ease including Skype video calling and playing the odd game. I am not using this as a primary phone so I cannot judge 100% battery life, but it seems reasonable as it lasts two days with one charge with 2 calls per day and some app use. It does have annoying things like a really bad keyboard but all in all a good phone for the price. I will update you if something comes up.

  • why my huawei u8850 vision cant switch on again after off of sendiri..what prob ??

  • Thank u dear, from your comment it seems that overall performance of this phone is nice but there is a little bit battery problem ? am i right ?

  • hi admin last week i brought huawei vision u8850 from deira city centre dubai with 2 years extended warranty but after 3 day this phone battery performance very poor i m waiting for my next duty off to go for replace da problem ur huawei vision phone is great i like it but plz solved da battery problem plz

  • shud i buy this mobile or htc desire C or samsung ace duo 6208 plz help as specs its good wot abt touch performance and wot abt speed

  • is it possible to upgrade it to ICS 4.0???? i mean ice cream sandwich

  • is the battery of this set removable ?

  • hi all one of my friend told me about this phone dat skype video call working on this phone by du data package can anybody tell me its true i will buy now???

  • I'm also using this phone. It's run smooth. I had been drop it around 8 times already but it still working well. Anyway one more thing,that Vision does not work, it cannot update to Ice-Cream Sandwich. I wish Huawei will available to update soon.

  • I have this Phone and Im using It right Now. This phone is Great , but Camera is Really bad and It Can broke Easy if u Drop It. Othewise this is Smooth and fast phone.

  • very cool phone.not seen any hangs in it,the metal body of this phone rocks!

  • Its almost the same spec as the xperia neo v but why the camera suct, wvga standard only take 15fps max n still pic oso bad lack of detail. But gaming on this phone is same lvl performance well i bought it 4 $150dollar (converted rm399 i think). Still i like it for my backup phone and hope it will be ported custom rom from xda dev guys and make the camera or video better and sound volume louder huhu..

  • Ive been using it for 1month now. I was thinkin of buyin the htc desire c but too expensive the desided to buy this instead cost half the price. My opinion of thos fone is its good to hold feel solid and everytin is smooth runnin. The downside for me is 1stly the speaker n plugin headfon volume its very2 low compare to my bros xperia pro. 2ndly is it doest have notification led s and now im triying to find setting notif beep sound so i coulnd find it in stock msger ut in go ex sms they have so iv use it now and it works fine.

  • this must better that it's version can be updated.

  • this is very comfortable phone and reliable phnoe as compare to Galaxy Y & HTC wildfire S. accordingly features is high. benefit is 1 year warranty. affordable price. good looking , attractive. no problem while using. i would like to thanks to Huawei mobile company for this mobile launching.

  • Price ratio is good. Performance is not that good but..what to expect on this price group. But i think Huawei is uprising company. I hope someday they can challenge to bigger mobile companies. Viva la Huawei!:P :)

  • I have bought this phone just a couple of weeks back. My sincere opinion about the phone is that its a wonderful set worth buying. It has beautiful graphics, good battery and a nice touch screen. Earlier I had HTC Wildfire S and after installing a couple of apps, it refused to install more apps coz of low memory. But this set "Huawei Vision U8850" has a huge memory size of 1G and there is no such problem, one can install many apps without any trouble. I strongly recommend buying this set against HTC, Samsung and other equivalents....

  • It's sound quality is not good and volume is also low. I attached this phone to my amplifier and sound quality was poor and volume was much low. I got the vibration problem as well as some times vibration doesn't work on keys and sometime it works. Hanged several times. Memory card corrupted and phone barely started then I had to re-format the Sd card. thanks.

  • Excellent Smartphone - I consider it entry level. Got one for $200.00 brand new on gumtree with 2.3.5 Works well for me, with a 4Gb card inserted. Light user that I am, the battery easily lasts 24+ hrs, with auto sync on, several texts and emails + angry birds per day. Very Happy - nice graphics, 3D wall papers, no lags, quick switching. Wish it had more internal memory. Into it more than 2 months now :)

  • So, others are not CHINA made?

  • I actually had bad opinions about Huawei but after reading all the posts over the internet..I'm ready to buy one of them as my new super cell phone.. But The only thing thats bugging me is..Is this phone actually durable?.. i mean its china stuff..Would Any one suggest?

  • Why has 350 mb ram is 512mb

  • Beautiful phone but...Accessories are hard to find in the uk and have to be shipped over long distances. I dropped mine, and it would cost £110 to repair as it needed to be sent to germany. Allover a great phone, although if it gets dropped unless you live in Germany you'll have to pay a lot for repair.

  • Will this phone get any ICS update?

  • Hold power and volume+ button for 10 seconds. That will force restart the phone.

  • Hi, can anyone tell me a way to root this phone please? Thanks.

  • guys i have owned this mobile for just 5 months and i have problem with the wifi connections and the Bluetooth although its warranted they couldent fix it, i sent to huawei and they didnt answer :/, then the mobile over heated once and shut down although it had half battery full, the camera is soo poor and the flash is not good at all

  • thanks you so much!for your post!

  • Hi there I have this with 2.3.5 I tried several links and programmes including superoneclick for rooting, to no effect. Found on EBAY this guy in US who claims to have good record for jailbreaking all sorts of phones, does it for $ 25.00 online via teamviewer. Try him if you like. No other sources, and have wasted enough time trying myself. good luck

  • Ok... I have the 2.3.7 ginger on it and do someone know how to ROOT the phone ?! but I dont wanna downgrade it !!!!! ;( please help !

  • You can try force restart by holding the power button + volume up button together. Hope it works

  • Install and use task killer.

  • How do I force reset / restart to this phone when it hangs?

  • How can I force restart / reset to huawei vision when the phone hang?

  • cannot configure 3G in my huawei U8850, any advice ?

  • Had the same problem with my u8650. Downloaded JuiceDefender. Saves the day. Release the PHONE within the phone. They have PRO Versions, but the basic which is what I use.

  • the rock doesnt care what u think

  • Tried many ways, still can get the phone to last for a day, any solutions for the battery life, I am happy with the price, design, functions, pretty much everything except battery life.

  • It has SPB Sell! very interesting!

  • Worst phone I've ever had. 1St handset gave no coverage at all, so store exchanged it (ELF) after 2weeks of frustration. 2nd handset lasted just 2 days, then it died. Now trying to negotiate different handset with carrier (as i'm under contract) They aren't being very co-operative, so as they say buyer beware!

  • my phone's wifi config corrupt after using hotspot tethering (had claim warranty only used for a week) this are the second time happen (after a week get back the phone)...don't know whether the hardware or firmware problem....awaiting firmware update by huawei...

  • all other sites don't mention that this phone have gyro sensor, only this site says that u8850 has gyro sensor. can you please clarify this.

  • Is there any software bugs or problem? Could you share your experience about bugs and software problems?

  • anyone hv any idea when 2.3.7 available for vision?the signal is so damn poor and i suspect current 2.3.5 is the culprit...pls help

  • although its a nice designed phone and nice to touch and use. the battery life is very poor, and the reception is terrible. a lot of the time it had very low or no reception and 50% of the receiving calls would go straight to message bank with out ringing. not a good experience with this phone, have had to go back to using my old Nokia E71 as it's much more reliable

  • Guys the Huwaei Vision is the most useless phone I have ever owned. It keeps switching off at times it will not hold charge for more than a minute. Tried calling manufacturers who were no help at all. Their attitude was "buyer beware". And this phone at $200.00++ is not exactly cheap. The Low cost HTC phones $150- $200 are so much better. This excuse of a phone is now my most expensive paper weight. This is a typical cheap chinese made product. Sorry Huwaei bye bye goodbye as far as I am concerned.

  • Nice phone, looks great and runs smooth on games too :)

  • it's my 1st android but the network reception is poor as compare to my 2 years old nokia 5800...could anyone share what is the solution on this?it has max 1-2 bar...30% 1 bar,30% 2 bar and 40% no bar at all...

  • can any body give me a favour to buy this phone or not

  • purchased this phone due to cost and features,had nothing but trouble from the word go. keeps freezing and needs to be turned off/on again.fancy user interface not worth it as has to be loaded every time and you have to wait,worst problem is how hot the thing gets after about 5 mins of use it gets uncomfortable to hold and the back panel for sd card i cannot see lasting long took back to shop and purchased sony ericsson arc now very happy - one other point to mention battery life is useless - oh and dont bother trying to call huawei for help you can never get an answer even by email - dont bother

  • will this phme work with mobitel network in sri lanka. Do you think huawei mobile phones are durable n would they last long without probs?

  • I bought this phone and liked it very much. For the price, it performed as well as many much more expensive models. However, I had to take it back because it does not support the Australian Telstra Next G network. So, if you are an Ozzie Telstra Next G client you must consider this problem before you buy the phone.

  • its not 256k color its 16 m

  • What is the battery life for this phone like? from experience ANdroid OS 's drain a lot of battery life. like Sony Ericsson, etc..

  • WTF... its the same desing of my Desire S... and the same hardware... excelente hardware for a Huawei phone...

  • Where did you bought your Vision ?

  • I've already own a vision, I am now looking forward to own a honor.. great phone huawei.

  • How can you compare this to a htc sensation, when that is an awesome phone, when this phone is awful!!!!

  • why waist you're time buy a phone from this company when you get more at better from the Samsung Galaxy W 1,4GHz and get better phone ..they ask to much money for no good phone thats its a simple fact to know it

  • Is this handset available in india? what's the price?

  • Resolution 800*480 lcd . Do you really need on 3.7" screen more colors then 256k? You don't need 16m colors. This is great device and ch and i hope that it is going to be sold in the Europe.

  • Seems a bit odd to me that a phone which is called 'vision' only has 256K colors, whereas 16m colors is not impossible for a mid-range smartphone and is frequently used...

  • Can we add more languages like persion etc.

  • resolution?

  • If it's available can you tell us where can we get this device except Asian market?

  • Its the MSM8255 SoC (system on chip) and it features the Adreno 205, just like the xperia line(eg Play) and htc desire hd.

  • does it have any GPU like adreno 200/205 or tegra2 ? big no no. so i think the 1 ghz cpu will be exhausted when it comes to games with 3d processing. do any of you have any experience playing HD games with it?

  • Well,i think that this smartphone awesome,but i think that it has a front camera and it's VGA.

  • I hope huawei will make a phone with qwerty slide out keyboard at the side..

  • If you think plastic plastic is style then it is your phone. It s a pity that they can´t make it in steel. Seems good the videos I have seen but compare to the new Nokia 700 or 701 or even the N9 or E6,this phone can´t be regarded as stylish. Thats a fact.

  • If I going to buy a new smartphone this will be the one. I have already a Huawei Ideos U8150 and love it. This one is probably even better than the one I have. Yesterday I use the GPS on my U8150 and had a lot of fun using it. I use to have S.E xperia x10mini. But after having a lot of trouble with it I bought the Huawei Ideos U8150 and I haven't had so much trouble with it. X10mini had the tendency of crasching to everything I did with. Like sending a SMS or answer a SMS. The wrost thing it did was crasching and couldn't start it for three hours. Never had that problem with my Huawei Ideos U8150.

  • One awesome phone, you miss this, you aint got no taste!!

  • This device also have 3G vision and 1GHZ is very good speed

  • very good Huaweu!
