    • Hi, maybe your LCD screen is turning off by itself when your Huawei Ascend P1 does not connected to charger. We just worry the phone is not charge properly or the battery get problem and need to replace with new one. Try to charge until full, and see weather your Huawei Ascend P1 can start until the logo appear or not. If the screen turning off, you may try to do something to know weather your phone still on or totally off. Maybe you can try to miss call from other phone. If you can not reach your Huawei Ascend P1 GSM number then maybe the phone totally off. If you have already try to do hard reset but the problem still like that, then you should bring to Huawei authorize service center for further check the hardware.

    • Hi, we assume you mean your SIM card does not work properly after inserted to Huawei Ascend P1. Actually if the data connection already show connected, you can test your data connection by open browser and browse to some URL like Google.com or Yahoo.com. If you can not connect to that site, then maybe your network not work properly. Please try to change the GSM card with others one should be already subscribe to Internet data service, put it at your Huawei Ascend P1 to test your network connection. If you still get the same problem, try to do hard reset or master format.

    • Hi, unfortunately we can not give standard solutions when your Huawei Ascend P1 already at root and using custom ROM conditions, because there are many trouble happen because of not supported gadget to firmware or not fully function work as well. But you still can find out weather this problem comes from your hardware or your firmware, by see what happen at first time boot before the OS start. If the flicking start from beginning of turning ON then maybe you need to bring your phone to Huawei service center because it seems your hardware get trouble.
