Huawei Mediapad M3 Problems after a few hours

I'm having some huge problems with my Mediapad. Here's a short overview:
Chrome tabs not working, KZbin crashes, questionable fingerprint scanner, call feature not as advertised.

[@rockermikey101]

Thank you for taking the time to do your two videos on this product. I'm thinking of purchasing this device (or the Lite version) and this has been very informative.

[@DigitalIndependent]

Did you end up getting it?

[@rockermikey101]

@@DigitalIndependent I actually managed to get a near perfect second hand 8 inch Huawei Mediapad M5 from eBay instead. Haven't used it for a while but it was my go-to for streaming, browsing and gaming for quite a long time

One of my questions from the previous video - regarding OTG, was answered here. Thanks!

[@papason5153]

my m3 dont have issues like that but nougat update for my m3 is not yet available as of now

[@krisakh2033]

By the way, tempered glass ruins the hd video effect? what do you think? I installed it on my Huawey mediapad and it seems to me that the video quality is not as good as before. Also, it seemed to me that the mediapad already had a plastic protection. Do your devices have such protection from the factory?

[@hollingbourne]

Hello Oliver did u resolve yr problems with the Chrome Browser etc? I wonder if have decided to keep the M3 or not?

[@papason5153]

my m3 dont have issues like that but nougat update is not yet available as of now

[@tehanliang]

Does your M3 left speaker have any problem? Mine doesn't work sometimes, and the headphone, sometimes when making calls, it will have some sort of voice filtering effect when it is below certain volume, dimming down the voice from the other side. I hope it is just my phone and I can get warranty claim for this issue, not a common issue with all M3.

[@syarmiewan]

Thanks for sharing. I've planning to buy this model. Have to wait until problems issue solve.

[@shanulasya2036]

Touch screen is too laggy . Worst ever experience H M3.

[@nawazwaseem2219]

Chrome has sucked hard for years bro.. Try Opera.

[@ValorantVaultYT]

Hi my mediapad m3 keeps on turning of the bottom speaker when I'm watching KZbin. Is anyone else having this issue and if so do you know how to fix it? Thanks!

[@Dolbymedia]

have a problem with that tablet fingerprint sensor, it works when it wants and after a while the fingerprint sensor stops working. Even the menu settings disappears, fingerprint ID is gone when I restart the effect is zero only when I reset the factors it works but after a while the fingerprint sensor refuses to work again. Does anyone has the same problem? What should I do?

[@chrisyoko6456]

Stanislav Vasilev did it ever go away?

[@zizoul7307]

have u tried swiping down for the chrome tab? i can switch tab for chrome in my honor phone by swiping down, i think should be the same for m3

[@DigitalIndependent]

zi zoul thanks. I know how to use chrome. the problem is the setting "size" under display in the settings app. if you set this to small, these problems occur. it's the same with the Huawei x2

[@Tareksobhigmailcom]

I'm sure this might sound silly but have you tried updating your apps?

[@DigitalIndependent]

Tarek Sobhi yes. it happens only if you set the view size to the smallest setting in the display settings. happened on the p9 omon early software versions, too

[@hfsiddiqui]

Have you restore this with factory settings...i am wondering if this is available at the store in US

[@DigitalIndependent]

Hammad Faisal I have reset, wiped and done everything. The only solution is setting the view mode (settings / display) to normal instead of small. Figured that out yesterday

[@hfsiddiqui]

man thats alot of troubleshooting. I am anxiously waiting to get my hands on this here in US but no luck at Amazon so far.

[@loyalch906]

Thanks buddy... I've just resolved it... It functions well...

[@goldenagegamer7081]

Hammad Faisal Amazon has them...will be getting one next week since Huawei just announced the new update which should be available next month...

[@jarradpinestraw]

Hi, hows the tablet holding up now & has performance or battery life dropped any?

[@DigitalIndependent]

Jarrad Pinestraw still brilliant. this is my daily driver now. battery life is good, at least 2 full days of very heavy use for emails, phone calls and browsing.

[@jarradpinestraw]

getoliverleon thanks, I have one now and it's a great tablet. Just like yours Chrome and youtube is broken. I disabled chrome and use the Chrome dev version which works fine. However I haven't found a fix for youtube yet.

[@DigitalIndependent]

Jarrad Pinestraw great. you can get around this by setting the size from small to medium in settings/display

[@jarradpinestraw]

getoliverleon thanks dude! just did it and that worked like a charm

[@falcoroy]

Small problems lah.. that the problems of Google!

[@bazzahun]

I like the phone but when I get phone calls the loud speaker is always on, can't turn it off any solutions anyone thanks!

[@DigitalIndependent]

bazzahun same here. Talked about that on my other video. There is no solution because the phone doesn't have a speaker for your ear. It only has the full audio speakers to the side. There will be no solution other than using a headset

[@prawny12009]

you can turn the volume down to give SOME privacy

[@lanarose5957]

Really n**** I have already huawei mediapad m3... there are no problems in the tab

[@aggounhoussem5479]

No problems for me after days of using it

[@Qimchiy]

You should try using Google Launcher. Use UC Browser instead of chrome.

[@lee26carl]

planning to buy that. I end up buying x2

[@jasonlindquistmedia]

this isnt an issue for me, just got mine today works fine.

[@user-eb5vl2mo6x]

ลาคาเท่าไร

[@SiamAlamOfficial]

hahahahah bro you call that even a prob ;)

[@JayFatu3355]

Just sell it.. go for ipad mini 3.. superb mini pad.. last time i am using media pad T3-7.. its a good tab but the sortware is so shitty till i sell it and turn for ipad mini 2.. and finally 👌

[@DigitalIndependent]

perseus zeus nah. Problems are solved and this is still great :)

[@krisakh2033]

huawei makes some of the best tablets. I'm sure that yours is broken by default, from factory. I hope that the service replaced it.

[@DigitalIndependent]

KRISA KH nope. this is a general software problem with Huawei. same on the mediapad x2

[@krisakh2033]

sorry to hear this, I guess I'm lucky! I have an M2, 7 inch and no problems!

[@ericbey6018]

i dont have problems on my huawei media pad 3m but maybe im too late

[@DigitalIndependent]

Mélodie Bey what problems then?

[@lanarose5957]

Really I am buying this tablet ...

[@DQmanglocQ]

Its because u changed the display size to small!

[@DigitalIndependent]

DQmanglocQ YES. but I expect that to work if it's a setting....

[@DQmanglocQ]

yeah u are right indeed, some weird android glitch im afraid

[@bobbyv879]

Don't don't update your mobile / tablets with new updates. Leave well alone.

[@DigitalIndependent]

I would disagree. There's lots of exploits and importand security patches

[@moroccanwonders6234]

ment to be used in China

[@prawny12009]

The china market huawei handsets do not come with Gapps (google apps) installed, they have a domestic market play store, Google apps are licensed to manufacturers which raises handset/tablet prices, the domestic chinese market is highly censored anyway so including them for the huge chinese market is costly and pointless From what i've seen of the google play store it is mostly full of cloned advert injected premium rate scam malware with no "rollback" option or previous version download sources available for anything.

[@marclee181]

china hardware...

[@prawny12009]

and where are iphone, sony, samsung etc handsets made?

[@imdadgillani.1611]

APPLE IS THE BEST COMPONY EVER MADE OR WILL BE SAMSUNG AND ANDROID IS LIKE MUD ON ITS FOOT'S

[@kanchanak3736]

The imdad Tv dumb ass piss off apple fan

[@kanchanak3736]

Doesn't even know the spelling of company dumb ass learn English first

[@prawny12009]

many huawei emui o/s features have been integrated into following mainstream android releases. huawei also now have a close working relationship with google. i believe the nexus 6 was a huawei handset. Apple and microsoft both are in the habit of excluding features that they can market as NEW or exclusive in the next model, microsoft have even gone so far as the remove features in its o/s that users of older versions got for free.
