Straight Talk Huawei Ascend Y Cell Phone Questions & Answers
I dont know the screen lock pin for my huawei phone help?
If you know the Gmail address and password that was used to initialize the phone, you can use Google's Android Device Manager to erase and reset it. Without these credentials, you will have to use the phone's external softkeys to restore it to factory settings.
Google Android Device Manager
Google's Android Manager is able to find, lock and erase the Huawei smartphone through the use of locating features on most Huawei Android phones. Sign into the Web app using the Gmail address and password (link in Resources) and -- if there is more than one Android device registered to the account -- select the correct device name from the drop-down menu at the top. Click the "Erase" option once the phone has been located by Google. This won't work unless you've registered the phone with Android Manager in the past.
Without the Google Credentials
Without Google account access, however, you'll need to reset the device using its external buttons. This procedure varies based on model, but typically involves simultaneously holding down a combination of buttons until the device enters Recovery Mode. Huawei's Valiant and Vitria models, for example, both require you to push the "Volume Up" and the "Power" keys for several seconds until an Android robot with a red error sign appears on the screen. At this point, you can navigate the recovery meny using the "Volume Up," "Volume Down" and "Power" buttons, and select the option to erase the device.
I added more channels on my television but they wont come on
Just because you added them don't mean that they are available or broadcasting. First of all where are you getting the signal from. Cable or over the air (antenna) ? If you are receiving over air free TV you may not have a strong enough signal. The best way to add channels is to do a scan and let your TV find them automatically. For over air broadcast sometimes your TV will find channels that are not quite a strong enough signal to play depending on your location from the the station transmitter. Note that relocating the receiving antenna or getting a better one will usually fix this problem.
Now if your receiving Cable then you have another issue.
The only channels that you will be able to receive directly with your TV is the ones that come with the basic service the rest will be scrambled and will require that you pay a subscription an be connected through one of there box's which contains the descrambler that can turn on or off from the cable company office.
Hope this helps.
My home buttton will not work
You may have to take this to the phone store and ask them to run a continuity test of the keys. If the key pad is defective, so goes the phone.
Phone will not recognise sim card
I had the same problem with my NEW Huawei Ascend. My solution was that I had to trade it for another new one. I wouldn't have even known about it since it was my first experience with a smart phone. But I wanted a bit more memory and that is how I realized it wasn't recognizing the card. Hope this helps.
