For sure, I used that V5 to test and build them roms. And they are like android-sale official retaillers.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nypdauxx:
:)

Thanks for answering so fast bro. but im sad i tried to checkout and they are out of stock sucks for me.

p.s someone should create a siri clone :P
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alphamod:
i want to ask macsga and mayiandjay

if you will soon release us new good rom (V5) that based on

the new versions of gooapple new roms without

all these chineese stuff and more faster

is there any work on new rom?

and if someone know about any progress with new battery that will fit the v5

and will last longer because the battery is didnt stay long maybe there any

solution close runing applications or something?

everyone know that the famous game temple run is out for the andorid

did someone was able to opreate him on the v5 ? i really want to know if it will

work because this game is awasome

angry birds space works for me (-:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Speaking for myself, I'm not working at a new rom at the moment. I'm perfectly fine with V4 and since nothing too funky came out from the official site (ie: ICS), I probably won't touch my phone.

It stands by for a total of 5 days with no problems whatsoever if I use it as a phone with an average use; which is fine by me. If I play Angry Birds Space it will kill its battery after 5-6 hrs. I've recently invested on this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200719777...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2589wt_823

which I'm waiting anxiously to test. I'll report my experience later here.

I didn't test temple run yet.

Cheers.

I will of loved to help but I dont have my V5 anymore so anexonel rom v3 was my last version... Sorry ;(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] El Jefe del Caribe:
I shipped mine back DHL this morning. I was surprised to learn it will only take 3 days to go from Santiago->Santo Domingo->Cincinnati OH-> San Diego->Hong Kong->Shenzhen, China.

Cost $78. I'm pissed.

I emailed scans of the paperwork to lovebargaining with the tracking number. I'll also notify PayPal.

Did I read correctly that androidmobilepad.com has real V5 3G's...but they are out of stock?

Another question, regarding 3G. My cell carrier, Orange Dominicana, 3G signal is 900Mhz. I understand the V5 3G is a 2100Mhz phone. Not that I use 3G much, but if I wanted to I couldn't. Would the V5 4GS work on that frequency? Just wondering. The Claro Dominicana signal is 850Mhz.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
45$ and 78$!?!?! Poor you! It only cost me 10.48$ witouth tracking but if I would have taken tracking in a bigger package around 20.22$! Hope it never happen again!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] noobkidd:
Yea mine was sent back with cheapest shipping + tracking number, its actually going by boat, im still trying to decide which phone to get..... gooapple v5 or zopo zp200.?

btw hows the wifi signal with the gooapple?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
For the phone choice, I will personnally go with the gooapple v5 3g or just v5 because I better like the iphone look compared to the zopo but if you just want a cheap phone with 3d than take the zopo.The wifi For me was excellent! Really fast also!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] noobkidd:
Is the only difference between the v5 3g and the v5 is the 3g function?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Basically Yes. The devices are almost identical.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] noobkidd:
Can we install the same roms on the 2 devices?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
There's a separate thread for the Gooapple 3G. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1543248
[Miscellaneous Android Development] noobkidd:
So would it be wise to order the v5 non 3g model if I dont plan on using the data much?

most of the time I would be in a wifi area anyway
[Miscellaneous Android Development] El Jefe del Caribe:
Maybe I've "been looking for love in all the wrong places..."

I chose the Gooapple V5 3G because:

Quality solid metal/glass chassis chassis

Excellent high-resolution retina screen

Decent processor

WiFi

Bluetooth

Memory (I chose 16gb)

Android 2.3

Availability for software/ROM's

Price. I'm just not willing to pay for a Samsung, Apple, Motorola, HTC or Sony product.

It came with 3G, but I now realize the 3G frequencies here in the Dominican Republic are 850 & 900 (really confusing to non phone geeks;)), and the V5 3G doesn't support either (2100mhz.) Really, that's not a big deal to me since I don't have it now. It might be nice, but not necessary in the future, but wifi is necessary.

So I bought a pig in a poke from lovebargaining (perhaps a rebranded Sophone from what I can tell) and sent it back. PayPal will be refunding my account shortly.

So my questions are:

Would a Gooapple V5 (non-3G) serve my needs equally well?

Are there English-only ROM's, and ample instructions for rooting, back-up and recovery available? I have to tell you: after a while searching for them gets terribly confusing, and I am not sure which ROM and rooting technique goes with which phone.

What other phones would serve my needs and perhaps have 3G with 850/900mhz?

As usual, thanks so much in advance. You guys have been amazing!

Hi Dooby123

Have you received your fruits phone 4s ? If yes , how do you like it?

tks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
anyone still having issues with gps even after update their rom?

Apart from editing the gps.conf with country\region NTP servers and placing in system\etc with correct permissions . Are there any other changes we need to make elsewhere in android to get this GPS module to actually find a fix? Ive spent many many hours now just attempting to get a GPS lock\fix or even sats to actually show up at all. In GPS Test app I dont see any bars or sats on the V5 (3g). My cheap hawei phone has no issues(even tried using same gps.conf on the applegoo)..

Seems to me GPS isnt even turned on or theres a setting that needs to be changed in engineering mode. Ive messed around with it but nothing works.

also tried most of the roms with "fixed"gps here.

Anyone have an tips plz?:confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Well, the V5 is not advertised for its strong GPS capability. I'm not confident that it has to do with its antenna or it's something else. I'll talk about bestrom V.4 which I'm now using. It's "fixed" to use Europe's ntp server so that you get a fast fix while in EU.

I strongly believe that Anexonel's roms are using a .conf file for his territory (I believe N.America & Canada). What you must do is some extra reading here: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/fix-your-european-android-gps-lock-manually/

...and (of course) cross your fingers ;)

Best of luck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
Thanks for this info.. although I already tried these steps on day1. I'm sure now that the GPS antenna in the Gooapple phone is of poor design or I have a bad one therefore not able to have enough gain to fix position.I see another person with the same chipset MTK6573 had an issue so did a mod to the GPS ANT. Im not going to void the warranty but interesting idea. In mobileuncle tools I had to change the AGPS setting called MOLR position to "UP Only" just to get GPS Test app(or YGPS in mobileuncle) to get any sats to show (providing data is enabled), no signal is present for any (of the 10 that i see), although i see some moving.

I also found that gooapple wont support Bluetooth SPP protocol in their bluetooth stack so fail to connect to external GPS bluetooth devices using the bluetooth GPS android apps.

I can use wifi and cell towers to get a googlemap location but its off by 100->1000 metres. top right icon for gps fix just flickers constantly with any known working gps.conf.

Big fail. But at least I can send the phone back for a replacement since its a hardware issue.

I did find a mod for the MTK6573 GPS antenna on a diff model phone for those. looks like a possibility _http://www.talkingmobi.com/?p=1770
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Well, your V5 has a metal side (no need for antenna) so I guess the wire should be attached to the side's metal edge and will certainly do the trick. As per your warranty worries, most of these Chinese guys are really impressive. If you get yourself to send a package and is delivered to them they will send you another one - no questions asked.

I've experienced this in the past and most possible will do the same if (fingers crossed) I get a faulty device in the future.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
Ok thanks, ive emailed android-sale and gooapple directly to see what their advice is. Android-sale responded to check with the factory to see if its an easy fix via software or not.. might be some hope after all.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Stevenious:
hi with bluethooth and external gps and mock gps enable in an app you can use it. but sometimes the connection get lost. so its possible to use external gps. thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
Can you plz tell me which external bluetooth GPS device you are using to connect to your V5? I might be interesting in trying but Ive noticed lots of HTC users having same same paired but not connected issue as me (you can pair with GPS, but bluetooth GPS apps ask to be connected, when you do that it goes into a pairing loop!). My GPS mock location was on when I tested this ;-(

BTW. I wrote a quick guide for those who have working GPS chips but don't know how to set it up in our devices: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24537368&postcount=427
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Stevenious:
hey of course. i bought an solar gps device and use it with bluethooth gpd. press long + to go to settings and turn on the the other connection methods. its not neccessary to get connected. it works then. test the settings it takes me hours;) and apps. the best option is now bluethooth gps with the device something with kymo .. it workd for me.) hope i can help
[Miscellaneous Android Development] winnipegsubaru:
Hey everyone. Been using my V5 for about a month now... Very happy with it. One question I have, has anyone been able to get the hot spot to work? I enable it, and can configure it, but when I go to my laptop it doesnt see it. I tried to set it up manualy, but I cant connect to it. Any ideas?

And I know that since this isnt the 3G version that the speeds will be slow.. but it will do in a pinch.

Thanks guys
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
cheers but when you say turn on other connection methods in bluetooth settings(on the phone) what are you referring to? all I have is Discoverable and Scan for devices, both of which are on...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
This is the one of the two things that remains as issues to be solved with this phone. The other one is the FM transmitter; no matter how hard I've tried, I never got it to work.

I'm not sure 100%, but no rom so far has these features working; of course I'm using bestrom V4 and I can't tell for sure how far anexonel's progress went since he got his 3G version; but I think I'd knew if it were otherwise.

Cheers.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
I can confirm on the V5 3G both FM radio and data hotspot works fine and thats using the modified V5 anexonel ROM for 3G. (Anexonel's modified chinese rom V3

(working gps) (for 3G)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Great news! :) I think I might try it after all :P
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
Hey, for me the fm transmitter worked on every rom I used. Do you have the stock earphones are maybe they are broken?

Btw, Happy Easter guys !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Nope, I've never used them; I used my Dell's Streak ones... maybe that's why! Thanks dood. Happy Easter for you and your family!

(We Orthodox are delayed a week, but we're into the spirit already...)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Stevenious:
sorry misunderstood me. here a hint how it worked for me now after hours of testing.

1. get the app bluethooth gps from the market

2. turn on bluethooth and pair it with your device

3. open bluethooth gps app

4. press long - got to setting/option and there

5. turn on the 3 options to connect

6. if it helps turn also there reconnect on.

7. in the app choose the divice and press start/connect.

8. turn on mock gps for the use in other apps like copilot or sygic.

9. now you see in the app connected and how far your circle is . and on map you get a fix. otherwise use gps fix ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
Thanks for that, unfortunately my BT GPS still prompts for GPS pin over and over again even tough the pin is correct. Tested BT GPS on my other android phone U8220 and it works fine. I tried 2 diff roms on the gooapple and get the same result... I give up, not worth the hassle.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Stevenious:
ok that i have also. but after pairing and put in the app other connection option on than it will disapear asking the pin over and over again .) but you neef to turn on bt and pair the device.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
wow, I didnt see those extra options before, i just needed to scroll down the page in settings under GPS bluetooth app!! Now I can see some green bars at least, just waiting for a fix now! Thanks for the help!! :-)

Edit: Just found out the only option I needed to tick under settings was "Use Insecure Connection". My Bluetooth GPS was designed for windows CE PDA's so doesn't support secure connection. Confirmed Fix point within 1 Meter however GPS needed to be outside for me to get enough Sats to find the fix.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] alphamod:
hey macsga we still waiting for your depth review on the

gear4 PowerPad Wireless Charger any update?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Yep, I got it. Unfortunately it was messed up in the post and they sent me the iPhone3G model. Well, I looked no further; grabbed my dremmel and matched a perfect fit for my Gooapple V5 (took me about 40 mins). You can avoid that by ordering the 4/4s model.

Pros:

1. It gives the extra oomph needed by this specific model. I estimated about 4hrs 3d play with Asphalt, without it; and got about 7 (!) with it. This is more than what the original 4s of mine can handle on it's own battery.

2. The 'wireless' charging is way cooler than the cable.

3. The dock is very high tech and it's a perfect gadget for your office / bedroom / whatever.

4. The price is good.

Cons:

1. The phone size gets boosted - not too much; but it's notable.

2. The case itself won't protect much your iphone4/gooapleV5 when it falls down. It happened once and it splited magically to its 2 parts, simultaneously kicking the phone away into the floor 2 meters away (thank God for my silicon layer protection - no scratches to the surface).

That's all.

will gooapple v5 will support it?

and any of you guys maybe mayiandjay make contact to one of battaries manafuctures because the build in gooapple battery is sucks and drains too damn fast!!! i saw in mayiandjay youtube channel that in gooapple v5 3g version

The problem is in the back camera, the front camera works normal.

I already set up the auto-focus and cleaned well, but not solved

[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Sorry to bring the bad news, it most possibly has a defective micromotor for the autofocus function. I'd contact the seller for a refund/replacement... :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kleber.marques:
Ok, thanks for the bad news mcga! Hahahahaha

If I get somewhere that fixes iPhone, they can fix the camera of my gooapple?

I installed the latest version of the update on the blog android-sale, but I can not install the roons who are here in the forum. The phone says it is incompatible with the system, I think they are gooapple recently purchased with this problem,'ve seen more people with the same difficulty
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
There are known incompatibilities throughout the various GooApple versions that are out since the 1st model was out. It's acceptable and I think, expectable.

From my point of view (I have 1st generation V.5) Gooapple has this series of products as "WIP" (Work In Progress). Therefore it provides several ''fixes'' as per each ''version'' that follows the previous one.

For instance see the V.5, G3. It perfectly gets inside an official iPhone 4 battery with a small mod. This was impossible for my model. I've also noticed that a company called DAMI presents Y5 (http://android-sale.com/dami-y5-samsung-iphone.html) within a couple of days for the price of the V5 3G but with a samsung processor @ 1.2GHz (opting a performance boost). Probably DAMI is GooApple partner; or better, the same factory.

The story is well written and followed by ''Mother'' Apple herself. A product that fulfills the missing points of the previous one just comes out at that particular moment that you want to buy it. And guess what: it SELLS! ;)

Bottom line and trying to answer your problem on your camera: Yes it's doable. A common iPhone4 5.0Mp camera will certainly do. Now on rom customization: Try and see. Trial and error method always gets good results. Your only fear is that you might brick your V5. But this is rare, and it's undoable. ;)

the V5 likes to eat my micro sd cards

Had my V5 for about 4 months now, and I just again got the "damaged sd card" message. This is now the 4th time. Each time this happens I need to pull out the micro sd card, put it in my laptop, restore it (which sometimes means a full delete, other times it can restore and save my data), and then reinstert into phone.

It is a pain in the arssss. I have the 8g card which I believe is a Samsung or some other big name. Do I just have a faulty card, or does this phone like to eat these cards.

BTW - it is a real pain since I store most of my apps on the sd vs phone memory, otherwise the phone memory would be full in no time. So when the card dies, so do hal;f of my apps, my past text messages, my calendar, my directory, etc, etc.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
I think that its time for you to purchase a ''branded'' microSD card. DON'T use ebay, almost 90% sold there are cheap imitations and most of the times are fake.

Basically, any microSD will fit as a replacement on your V5. I'd propose a 16Gb class 6 ''Transcend'' or ''Sandisk'' microSD replacement that will certainly fit more than your average needs.

For the record: I purchased mine with a 32Gb one, but never got over 10Gb of apps/data... Never had issues so far (fingers crossed)... :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DanADaMan:
Will a class 4 sd card work? What is the difference between a 6 class one?
