Class 2 is the slowest SD card speed. Class 2 has a write speed of about 2 Mb/s and is suitable for standard definition video recording. Class 4 and Class 6 have write speeds of about 4 Mb/s and 6 Mb/s, respectively, and can be used for HD video recording. These three classes of SD cards are designed to operate under the normal bus interface.

Class 10 SD cards have write speeds of 10 Mb/s and up and are designed to operate under the high speed bus interface.

I have same problem with my sd card. Have changed it twice for 16gb sandisk. I read on another forum that it may be the phone backing up the sd card and to turn off the phone backing up setting (sorry I lost the forum ) I haven't tried as my v5 3g has gone back as it completely died - waiting on a replacement.

Sorry, do not speak English, I will use the Google translator:

1, I have problems with GPS signal, I can shoot hours of waiting and still not find gps signal

2 ° Is there any way to change Chinese characters that appear on the date in the unlock screen?

thanks

Since you don't speak English it would be difficult for you to understand the directions to Root your phone and be able to install a custom rom that solves your problems.

*IF* however you want to use Google Translator to translate this page here:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] miguelikoO:
Well, I do not speak English but if I understand something, in fact I tried to put another ROM but I get error something like:

(status 7), instalation aborted.

Edit: Do the ROM you mention on this site are Spanish language?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Errors can occur under different circumstances. Try using the directions on the previous link I gave you and install a rom (V4 is the latest). Spanish language is not natively supported; but you can do so by downloading a program called "Locale" off the GooglePlay (Market).

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

As of yesterday (April 21, 2012), I don't have the ability to update/install or experiment with my phone anymore. All of a sudden after an hour's charge, the screen has seized to function. All I have is a blurry, cloudy black and white screen. I've contacted android-sale for a solution; I'll be back soon on the subject as soon as I have some news. As you can understand, from now on, I can only provide help from memory regarding this phone...

Sorry guys, I hope this is resolved soon.

G'Day Again

Just wondering if any of you have installed Skype on your gooapple/goophone

phones?

I installed Skype but can not get the video calling working, any ideas?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
IT works depending on the rom you are using.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Katohdog:
I am using a rom that was released here by mayiandjay, ever time you enable video it just crash's. Is there any way of getting it working, I am going abroad shortly and would like to use it talk to my family.

Thanks for the input.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Actually, they contacted me today. I have to say that their service over at android-sale.com is exceptional. They instantly offered me an RMA; I asked them if it's possible to get another version of the phone instead of a fix (for a discount) and THEY ACCEPTED!

I'm thinking about the stronger CPU version the Dami Y5. They said when they have it they will contact me for a price. I'll let you people know... :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Katohdog:
I downloaded your latest rom and installed it the V3 for 2g, and i must say wonderful rom indeed. But nether the less Skype still crash's at start up, if I disable video it is OK.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
Well thats embarasing... I think it is only the video that fails, because on some roms, skype doesnt work completely and some partially.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
As I remember every rom had it's issues with Skype. Most ''anonymous'' devices have their issues actually, this includes my newest android tablet JXD S7100. The issues have to do with the video call API, which has to be programmed for every front camera for every single device in existence.

This (of course) is impossible so the programmers have decided to include a ''generic'' driver that matches the 80-90% devices out there. Skype is not the only VoIP app in the market though; you can overcome this issue with apps like "Viber" or similar.

Good luck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Katohdog:
Thanks for the replies.

Your dead right its only with the video that it crash's. The other programs mentioned if they work can you skype to them or does it have to be from say viper to viper only, excuse my ignorance if its a stupid question:o

Cheers

Katohdog

anexonel13 by the way your rom is very impressive, works so much better than the previous version.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
No problem and thnx to you ! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Every VoIP program is supposed to support its own clients. The best multiclient so far I came across is "Fring". It supports video (I can't test with my V5) but it may be your solution.

Regards
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Katohdog:
Again thanks for all the help,

Skype works on calls only, no video. Fring has video but I cannot see a PC version of it. I'm heading abroad and wanted something like Skype to see the family, but voice calls will have to do.

I must say again your ROM is great, very quick and easy to use, just needs a file manager to top it off.:)

Cheers.

How install 'Market'?

Can someone tell me how to install 'Market' or 'Googley play store'?

(I've got a GooApple V5 3G if it matters)

I've tried following these instructions:

The pre-installed 'Market' just asks if I want to add an account and then immediately exits.

Anyone have luck donwloading the 12.29.11 ios rom from the rom.gooapple.com website. I have tried 3 different computers, and in all attempts the download fails and stops about 10-40% into the download. It is also very, very slow (computer said it would have taken 3+ hours if it didn't fail).

If someone has it, can you post a link.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Alpha_Nova:
Simple solution! = For faster download the rom, please use the second or third grey chinese button which offers another downloadserver with lot higher upstream as the first grey one!

@macsga

today i installed APP GPS status and found my device see 12 satellites with very low signal strengh, but it never got a GPS-FIX :confused:

I installed the actual IOS-Rom v29 but location finding via network or WiFi never works on my side, i,m annoyed :-(

The chinese ROM from http://www.guguo5.com has some new files like gps.conf and for example another version of modem.img, but i cant test it because i wont flash the chinese recovery which make it able to install unsigned stuff (because my chinese is very bad) :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
@ Alpha_Nova: If you use any utility to monitor your GPS status, you will notice that it detects all the available satelites above you. This happens almost instantly (I am getting a 12 sat signal where I am). Problem is that it never gets a fix and IMHO this is software related and not something that has to do with the receiver itself.

As a side note the previous versions of s/w never detected all those satelites... This is definitely a progress. Let's hope that they fix it on a later version.

Guys, I've installed about 20 apps and I'm now at a point where I can not install new apps as I am out of space. I even installed an app called App2SD which moved all apps able to be stored on the sd card to the sd card. But now I'm full without deleting some apps off the phone.

Is there any magic way to increase the space. I still have tons of apps on the phone (via the sd) which I suspect can be moved to the sd card, but my App2SD at least can not do it.

Thanks

due this issue:

Phone's battery draining, runs out too fast!!! After full charge it runs out 75% battery life for 4 hours of usage: 1 call during 5 min., video watch during 8 min., music during 6 min, looking thought photos during 5 min., taking 3 pictures with the camera. 1,5 hour is just for walkthrough over the interface, settings, lock/unlock. 3,5 min. video takes about 5-6% of battery life. And it's without any gaming, internet surfing, making videos. Other time it's just holding.

there any battarey replacement in the market for the gooapple v5?

maybe in deal extreme?

if someone know about battarey replacements and can help us with this issues

i am sure everyone will glad to hear about it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
It's a known issue that the battery is smaller than the iPhone 4's one. But in your case I definitely think it's due to some program(s) running in the background. I'd propose this program here: http://androidforums.com/applicatio...matic-task-killer-set-forget-task-killer.html

Hey thanks for your help. Now I use the Guorom ios rom.

So now whats with the keyboard layout, how to fix it because my tested installed keyboards failed. The Keyboard is hlaf english and a little chinese. Does anybody know how to fix it and if possible know where to get the dictionary files to get for english and german ;) Like it in the chine keyboars works.

Hmm my cam seems to be crashed after update because if I renew it with copy the old camera.apk over the new one and i loose the icon. The last time with the original ios you see the result. I want to use it. hmpf. Without its not the same handy ;)

EDIT: WOW Cam is now workin after delete cam.odex and apk... THANKS

But keyboards delete works but crashes after install a new one. close prozess...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xstem28:
Instal iTap, Go keyboard or other keyboard with apple like style from Android market. Set it up in keyboard and input settings. Then delete original chinese keyboard files from system/app directory (via Root explorer, root is necessary). It is QQinput.apk, PinyinIME.apk and their odex files. It worked for me.

Concerning the camera - delete camera.apk and odex files via root explorer. Restart the phone. Copy your desired camera.apk and odex files in system/app directory. Set up permissions as stated somewhere above in previous posts (it is important!). Restart the phone again and your camera should be ready to use

Hello i'm new to this forums.

After using it for a while, the people who have this phone would recommend it to me? I like the iPhone size and shape, and i want and Android device. This looks like just the thing for me.

My main concern is the battery, which should make it at least until the end of the day; how is battery performance? Can you find better performing battery in the web for this mobile phone?

Also the upgrade to Android 4.x is fairly important for me. Do you think there's any chance we will ever see the newest version of Android running on this device?

Also how is performance of this mobile? Is it fine or does it lag once in a while? And about wi-fi, which is also very important for me: do you have to be near the access point?

Final question: do you think that with the new 3G version of Gooapple V5 (which is coming soon) some things will be improved (like battery, wi-fi, Android 4 and maybe processor)?

Eagerly waiting a reply for all the questions. Thanks in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
I have seen a standby mode of this phone that reached 5 days(!) Ofcourse I haven't been playing games, only email checking (via wifi) and a bit of surfing which never exceeded 10-15mins a day. So; if you play with it; it will drain your battery down. With an average use i think it will be more than easy for it to make it out through the day.

Out of the question. You need 1Gb of ram. This one has only 512Mb.

It's not very fast on the UI. When you've loaded up many apps it will give you frameskips on the rolling/sweeping. Generaly, i find it ok for a 600MHz MTK device.

I don't think that this phone will be able to support 3G. I will be gladly accept it ofcourse! Sad thing is that its h/w is VERY new. My guess is that the devs are having hard time to add 'features'; if it was based on a widely spread h/w platform; releases like cyanogenmod would have been able to run without issues and get most of it easier. For instance there's still not Flash support...

Last but not least: I find the SG532 graphics processor very fast and responsive to games. You can verify this on youtube.

Hey today i got my gooapple v5. i have some questions to ask

Hi V5 fans,

for testing varios recovery or boot images i saved the original boot and recovery partition of the GooApple V5 via ADB-shell. You find it attached on this post.

Note: the Gooapple logo after powerOn is contained in boot.img, the boot.img from the chinese ROM 谷果V5-第三方刷机包12-11.zip contains a fine apple logo. also you find in it a nice apple boot animation (usefull for those who only want the nice logos and not install the holy ROM).

I found also a tool from Goophone (Goophone 4GS recovery.apk) which seems to be able to flash new recovery.img under the IOS Rom but i dont tested it until now.

1. the ios rom you've got is fine.

2. no it cannot read/install ipa files, it's not an iphone but an android one with skin

3. reinstall market application (http://www.pandawillforum.com/forumdisplay.php?141-Android-APK-App&)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cyber_Dude:
- If you want to play games like Infinity Blade or other iOS stuff you should buy the real iPhone 4/4S or iPad 2. GooApple V5 is an Android phone and it's impossible to port iOS firmware to any Android phone. gooapple_ios_11.12.29 is a custom Android ROM, it just looks like iOS but it can't be used to run .ipa files. So you can only install Android apps or games (.apk).

- Try to use the web version of the Android Market to find games, apps you need. Or simply use Google for .apk apps you need, for example "Angry Birds .apk" to search for. You just need to drop the downloaded .akp file to V5/SD card/app folder and install it using File Manager.

- You need drivers to recognize V5 by your computer and for ROOTing it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xstem28:
Hi man,

please, try to study elementary things about Android before you post questions like that in this topic.

Maybe the phone looks like iPhone but it is not definitely iPhone. It runs on Android although you have Apple UI (it is only interface that looks like iPhone). You can install only apk files, no ipa.

All software you can find on Android market which is installed in the phone.

Some games you can find on SD card if you didn't delete it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DanADaMan:
Is there a way or app to be able to "screen-timeout" (sleep mode) the phone while still hearing the audio from a movie app or website (ie. youtube)? In another words, if I'm listening to a movie on youtube and want to put the phone into my pocket, is there a way to lock the phone without the app/audio turning off. Currently if I'm listening to youtube and hit the on/off button to put the phone to sleep, it paused youtube.

It works fine if I'm listening to the built in Music app (it keeps playing even when in sleep mode), but again all other apps turn off or pause.
