[Official Discussion] Huawei Ascend 2.1 - 2.2 Firmware Upgrade (Info updated as received!)

[Anduiril]

yes cm6 is clock to 710 with setcpu but 600 is default, cm7 is set to 600 default but you can change it in cyanogenMod setting, without setcpu.

CM6 is 710 default. I have too use setcpu to bring it down because my main Ascend isn't stable at 710.

hello and welcome to the forum...and also metro said that befor Tapout came out...they are just giving peoples off the wall info so peoples want bother them for now...lol

 

[dbradford32]

So still no ROM from metro?! I can't believe this crap... Seems like we are far fetched if we really think they are going to give us a damn thing... Metro is just another corporation bent on giving the customer nothing in return... Seriously!

 

[UlovPlanters]

Tired of the run around. grabbing my pitch fork and torch and having me a ol fashion metro burn. maybe if i put some fire under they're ass they'll get it out there, if at all.

 

[dbradford32]

lol Pitchforks, and fire. We will be fighting this until we need laser pitch forks, and laser fire... lol

When you say it isn't stable, what exactly happens?

So how hot is too hot? My phone runs around 100 F when wi-fi tethering but cooler the rest of the time.

CM6 at 710 on my Ascend would cause lock ups and crashes... dropped it to 653 and it ran much better, and only had an occasional lockup, especially when exiting anything using internet... it would freeze up the home screen and ask if i wanted to "force close" the CW, but i would hit "wait" instead, and about 10 seconds later it would be fine... running at 600 cm6 kicks ass!!

Well mine randomly reboots, or would have problems running apps. It takes 4 or 5 attempts to boot up.

Which apps other than POYNT & CRICKET'S 'MY ACCOUNT' were you wanting to re-install?
POYNT can be d/l directly from the market.
As far as the CRICKET apps go,hopefully someone here can provide the apks. for what you're wanting.

Well to avoid the random restart, install setcpu and set the max to 600 and work your way up, make sure you check the set on boot box. I'm running at 652 right now with no problems.

The boot loop problem, well nothing to help that. Setcpu doesn't take over until it's booted up.

Well just the MyAccount and MyBackup(found the poynt app) so yea I wud really appreciate it if someone found the apks

1) FYI,the 'MY ACCOUNT' app on my phone has been useless since CRICKET updated their billing system approx. 2wks. ago.All account info is listed as 'null'.Don't know if this would be the case on your phone once you get the app back.Would like to hear from other CRICKET users & their MY ACCOUNT app status.
FYI,PART DEUX: The 'MY ACCOUNT' app,in my entire time w/CRICKET {3YRS+} has been riddled w/misinformation,on all 3 phones that I've had w/them.It keeps defaulting to another account holder in Englewood,CO.,showing erroneous balance information & also the weather report for said city { I'm 1,000 miles away from Englewood,CO. BTW}

2) As far as the MY BACK-UP,you can use GOOGLE to do the very same back-up.Unless,you just have a preference to use the MY BACK-UP app from CRICKET.Again,if that's the case,I do believe the apps/apks are available here somewhere,just can't remember where exactly. Hopefully,someone'll chime in soon to help you out.

Normally we don't allow any apk posting or pointing for private stuff - Cricket stuff is copyrighted after all - but I've spoken with another mod (also a dev) on a case similar to this, and the consensus is that this sort of limited apk sharing should be ok.

We're thinking that rather than copyright infringement, a limited case like this may be copyright material restoration.

Restrict it your All Things Root subforum, no further talk of it here, and say inside your post, "per EarlyMon's ok" to avoid any confusion.

It's thin ice, so PM me if there are any questions.
