Huawei Honor Holly Review

After much research and waiting of over months I purchased this mobile on 28 Oct 2014. After approx. 4 months of usage here is my detailed review:
Initially when I received the mobile, I was happy to see the 5" screen of it. Display wise the screen clarity is great. If you previously owned a small screen mobile you are going to love this one. Package contains all the parts except earphones.
You can get backcover and screenguard separately.

I slipped the battery at the back of mobile and switched it on. All things done, mobile is up and running. 
The only problem I faced was during the "first" initial charging; The mobile used to immediately get into a "restart loop" as soon as I switched on the power button on charger. Was really frustrated to the extent that I initiated a return. But after proper formatting that mysterious restart problem never came. Till this date I am unsure why did that happen.

Unlike Samsung phones, HHH needs not to be exclusively restarted if the phone lags or becomes slow. Samsung android mobile have this terrible bug that makes mobiles slow and they need to be restarted every 3-4 days for smooth functioning. But the longest I have used HHH without any restarts was 44 days, that too I restarted the phone on my own. This mobile doesn't gets slow no matter what you do.
There is an option to change your default memory too within the mobile itself. No need to try those risky hacks.
Kitkat works butter smooth on this hardware and 1GB RAM. You can get 550 MB RAM free at any given time in mobile.

Coming to the battery aspect, the mobile gets fully charged in 90 mins i.e. from 0 to 100%. 
Battery draining is fast from 100% to 75%, it then gets slow from 75% to 60% and more slow from 60% to 30%, I havn't made my battery go lower than 20% ever. [All the percentages are in 3G mode of operation and the lowest brightness setting, though you can set brightness level to lowest and it is not much of a problem]

Wifi is super fast and connects instantly, with very less battery drain in it. [Above battery draining percentages are not true for wifi] Battery lasts more on wifi.
Touch keys of Back, Menu and Home do not have backlight and still it remains a backdrop in this mobile but with regular use you can "get used" to for this anomaly.
Sometimes you will get the call log, messaging app will automatically open without exclusively invoking it. I am yet to figure out as to why this happens, it is not an problem but can annoy you at times.
Notification indicator light is a boon. You can set many color as the blink for different apps, so that if there is a missed call or sms or an unread whatsapp message you can get and idea about it without even touching your mobile.
Memory card slot in just above the battery which makes it compulsory to remove the back cover and battery to insert or remove memory card which can be huge let down.

Camera is also very good in daylight, during night its a hit and miss even with the flash, you can experiment with it if it suits your needs.
Sound quality though not loud is clear. I have no issues with sound.
Bluetooth can be used without problems, even for bluetooth headsets, I use a Nokia BH108 and it is working perfectly with HHH.
Proximity sensor also works perfectly.
In call sound quality is also loud and clear.
GPS also works very well in high accuracy setting mode, though it will consume lot of battery.

For all those advance users who want to root their mobile, there exist only a single 100% working tutorial for this mobile and that tutorial is written by me.
Search Google for "Root Huawei Honor Holly" and you can see the link to XDA site. Go ahead try it, it is safe and it also doesn't unlock your bootloader, hence you can root without loosing your existing data and settings.
Last but not the least, this is the best mobile hardware you will get at this price. Take my word for it, you won't regret.

Root Huawei Honor Holly [Hol-U19] - 100% Working

After much searching plus trial and error I finally have rooted my Huawei Honor Holly -U19 phone successfully. I installed many drivers prior to it but don't know for sure which one did the trick for me. But eventually I figured it out. Hence, without further delay here is the exact process of rooting this killer phone.

Make sure you have the original data cable with you, though I used data cable of Samsung Note 2 it worked, hence, any OEM data cable should do the trick to be on the safe side use Samsung or Huawei supplied data cable only.

Steps (Carefully do as instructed below):

1. Click on this link http://1drv.ms/12joGbv
Here I've uploaded all the software/drivers that you would be needing to root. Hence download all the files in it.

2. After the download, install the apps and driver in the following series. [This is important]

ADB Installer 1.4.2

Handset_WinDriver_1.00.00.31

DriverAutoInstaller_v1.1236.00

Then,

iRoot 1.7.9.10454

3. Connect phone via USB

4. Bring down the notification panel and click on the USB icon

5. Enable USB Debugging and select storage as connect method. (Do not select MTP, Camera or CD Drive mode)

6. After selecting storage mode "Do not tap" on "Mount the storage as USB" button which is at the bottom of the screen. Doing this will make your memory card unavailable and the root process will also fail.

7. Open the iRoot app and let it detect your phone. Make sure you have an active internet connection, so that it can download the drivers and install it automatically. This causes you an additional download of about 30 MB. [Don't worry its all worth it]

8. After that the iRoot will install 3 Chinese apps on your phone. Do not do anything with it, let it complete on its own.

9. If everything goes well you will see the green Root button. Click on it.

10. Make sure the phone is fully charged and you have UPS backup on your computer. Any interruption after you click the Root button in iRoot can make your phone unusable. So take huge precautions during the process. (You've been warned now)

11. Wait for 2 mins now and don't do anything. The phone will restart after the process is completed. You can see the ongoing status on iRoot itself.

12. After successful completion you will see the below screen on iRoot app on your computer screen.

iRoot Huawei Honor Holly Root
iRoot Screen

13. Your phone is rooted!

Huawei Honor Holly Root
HHH Root Screen

14. Download SuperSU app from Play Store and install. Open SuperSU, the Chinese app will pop up so as to grant SuperSU root permissions or not, remember to tap the RIGHT button in the Chinese app which is a YES.

15. Download Root Cleaner (paid app) and uninstall all the Chinese apps from your phone, you do not need them anymore now.

16. Update your SuperSU binaries and reboot the phone.

That's all. Enjoy!

[Showed me VCOM error during the last stage of driver installation in PC but it didn't affect the process.]

The Real Life Cycle

The Science Behind Temple Bells

Most of the old temples have large bell at the entrance of the temple and you need to ring it before you enter temple. A Temple bell have a scientific phenomena; it is not just your ordinary metal. It is made of various metals including cadmium, lead, copper, zinc, nickel, chromium and manganese. The proportion atwhich each one of them mixed is real science behind a bell. Each of these bells is made to produce such a distinct sound that it can create unity of your left andright brain. The moment you ring that bell, bell produces sharp but lastingsound which lasts for minimum of seven seconds in echo mode good enough totouch your seven healing centres or chakras in your body. The moment bell sound happens your brain is emptied of all thoughts. Invariably you will enter state of Tran’s state where you are very receptive. This Trans state is the one with awareness. You are so occupied in mind that only way to awaken you is with a Shock! Bell works as Anti-dote to your mind. Before you enter temple – to awake you and prepare you for taste of awareness is the real reason behind temple bell.

An Inspiring Confession

Read somewhere, but definitely worth the read

1. I joined heritage in its initial batches .i was very introvert and was a ragged a hell lot . A belt was tied around neck i was made to roam around the college in my first day .When i complained to my dad he thrashed me saying that i was a loser and wasting his hard earned money .( he hoped that i was in IIT).I felt liked being raped that day, not by my college seniors but by my dad.

2. I got a very low grade in my first semester because i was pressurized by my dad to appear for IIT again . i Got a severe thrashing from him again .my mom somehow rescued me.

3. In second semester i mustered up enough courage to propose to my best friend but she rejected me because in her words ""she didnt wanted to be ridiculed by her friends "". she stopped talking to me after that .i was heart broken as she and my mom were the only people i shared everything with.

4. During the 4th semester break , while i was returning home after teaching a student . i got a phone call informing me that my mom had expired . my world came crashing that day . I cried for for days on end and somehow picked myself up as i had no other alternative

5. My attendance fell very low that semester and i was summoned by the principal . when i told him about my mothers death he replied "" i hear this lie everyday .please bring me the death certificate if u have one ."" Then while i was leaving he told me "" no need to bring death certificate , useless guys like u can even fake that .call your dad ""

6. My frnds always ridiculed me because i was loser .i dint laugh at their jokes .to mix with them i started drinking .i dint like the taste but liked the high . i often used to act drunk to appear more cool .i learned to call girls ""magi "" but never knew its real meaning . that helped me survive college 

7. It was the campussing day , i got rejected that day again .hoped to make it to the next company .but was unsucessfull till the and of campussing . i had tried a lot . attended English speaking classes (my English was horrible) , brought new pair of shirt . when my dad heard this he told me not to call again and this time i didnt feel remorse or regret for him . for the ntire night i contemplated suicide but couldn't as i had promised my mom that i will shine one day .

8 . I started doing private tutiions and preparing for CAT.i gave my everything . I got 99.87 percentile but couldnt make it again to a big IIM because of my low grades .What had i done now to deserve this ? i felt . I finally got admitted into decent college and a helpful bank manger arranged for loan .

9. After passing out i got into volvo eicher as a junior manager . i dint last for 3 months because i couldnt lick my boss s boot properly .My service was terminated because of being inefficient . 

10. I started making i phone apps in my leisure time while i was applying to a few companies .Slowly i took it up as a more serious start up . got hold of 2 more friends like me who were from cs background and were unable to find a job .

11. In 2011 i made a small office .by the end of 2011 i had a small group of 8 engineers working with me . In 2012 we bagged several contracts from companies like mobiquity , exxon mobile and the workforce increased to 80 developers .in march 2013 i will be applying for turnover of over 5 crores . 

I dont know how to thank god for his blessings . i thank that senior who ragged me in my first day at college, that girl who dumped me , my professors who ridiculed me , the numerous friend who though i was a loser . it is you who gave me the courage , the fire , the anger to succeed against all odds . seriously no hard feelings guys , u made me what i am . i dont stay with my dad but i send him enough so that he can lead a comfortable life . My advise to all juniors .shine in life .When a loser like me can why cant u?.never let people say u cant do it . many people might have faced similar or more lows in college life but NEVER EVER give up . Let not a broken relationship , failed grade ,lost job opportunity or ""status"" among friends define you . And never lose faith in humanity in goodness .there a few bad people but there are a lot more good people around here . I met a lot of good people,professors in my college .and believe me heritage taught me a lot 

Lastly MA, hope u could read this . i love u a lot. heart

.
