[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lonestrider:
yeah that kind of things also happened to me.

But I think it's the battery calibration problem. When you're just texting, make a voice call and things (not related to internet) the system assume you'll do only that. So the battery won't drops too much.

But when you're using 3G network to browsing, the system is shocked and the battery drops because the system's previous assumption is wrong.

That's only based on my logical thoughts. CMIIW.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] petraaa1989:
I've installed this app and it says "health:good 40.0°C/4200mV so I suppose calibration won't help me in this case.

But thanks you for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lackhoo:
just use antutu battery savers

that what i am using now and it help pretty well

download from the market
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] petraaa1989:
I appreciate your help, but my phone is not rooted and this app need root. If I root my phone will lose 2 years warranty :/
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Krazy2much:
Hi, this is my first thread on XDA and I was wondering if anyone else has run into the problem I just recently came across:

While watching Netflix earlier with earbuds in, I received a notification and the notification sound went off per usual but when the audio returned to Netflix, it was different. There is now an extreme amount of bass and voices sound distant and somewhat tinny. I tried listening to a song I had listened to earlier and it sounds completely different.

Would anybody know a way to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

Also, while typing this up, I'm experiencing double letters being inputted. I've heard of this problem on older versions of Android (and some of my older devices) but I was wondering if this is normal with this tablet, 3.2, or just Tegra 2 devices in general? I'm being forced to type extremely slow to keep from having it occur and I have never had this problem with my most current phone, the GS2 Epic 4G Touch. I'm currently using Thumb Keyboard 4, if it matters any.

Thank you to anyone who responds to this.

Dear All,

As the Name suggests it is regarding the China Android Qwerty Mobile A8.

It has various names of which are in the subject.

GSMAreana : Plum Velocity

Unofficial forum :

Official Site:

Manual:

Here is my quick review of this peice.

The apps which worked:

Speed wise the fone is OKish as it has 200 MB of RAM out of which you get 100 MB free. By the time you keep using it 70 MB is all you have.

Froyo 2.2.1 works flawless in it.

Touch sceen is a bit bad as u need hard touch.

QWERTY works great but one big flaw...no "," in it.

Volume keys on the keypad itself.

2 music players inbut -- Music & 3D music player.

Dual cams work well

Fring gets installed but din try as no WIFI.

1200 Mah battery works gr8 for one or more days (Nokia BL-5K)

Dual sim support works gr8 aswell.

Very Light in weight but same time it is fragile.

Tones loud enough.

Still in testing phase will keep updated as I get more hands on experiance on it.

Btw it has 2 charging points 1 USB and 2nd Nokia point :D

it takes 3 hours to charge but holds good enough for long time

Need more info on this cell friends Kindly help me :o

Recommended Apps for this Mobile:

Others which i tried for customisation

Both work great

If your phone doesn't have it's own thread, then I doubt that you will find much information here and I suspect not many A8 owners will be here either.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
Reboot Issue *RESOLVED*

Most of us might have experianced a reboot issue in this mobile.

I am a heavy user of this handset and was quite annoyed with the reboot issue.

It rebooted after some 5 - 6 hours ..the duration varied.

Solution:

What I did was:

In Settings --> Display --> Screen Time out ---> Set it to 30 minutes & mostly lock the screen on your own by pressing the center key or use an alternate screen lock widget on the homescreen.

The reboot is gone now :)

*NOTE: Never ever use Extended controls in this mobile: AS it slows the boot process and takes longer time to load the widgets on the screen.

The Android A8 is an unlocked Android cell phone. It gives you access to email, contacts, and calendar that synchronise with your web accounts and Personal Computer. The Android A8 lets you have your world, your way. The Android A8 smartphone is a perfect balance of form, function and affordability. It contains great quality of features.

How to solve problem with awful end call beep

ATTENTION!!!

It seems that one A8 may be not identical to another A8! Backup your phone before any system changes! It is your responsibility!

So, if you are brave enough:

Get modified Phone.apk (see attachment)

Copy original Phone.apk from /system/app/ to SD

Replace (do not delete or rename!) original Phone.apk in /system/app/ with modified Phone.apk (you need root privileges)

Reboot (you have no choice - A8 would be unusable at this point)

Return to /system/app and change permissions of new Phone.apk to rw-r--r--

Reboot again

Enjoy the silence! after call of course

Can you provide us with your firmware details

Brand : yusu

Device : e1005_yp1

Android version : 2.2.1

As far as I know all A8 variations are equal in system part. So phone.apk behavior should be the same on all phones.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
Thank you for the details,

So is this the same A8 with QWERTY hardware keypad??? :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] schloss:
Yes, it is. Also I've found this info in /system/build.prop:

ro.mediatek.version.release=10YW1048MP
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
Well what I have learnt is that

1. Never Root this mobile as it screws up the fone.

2. Its possible to upgrade it to 2.3 Gingerbread but chances of brick are more:(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] schloss:
Why? Mine is rooted and I have no problems at all. I had used Androot for rooting.

How is it possible? I'm very interested.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
Well rooting it increases the reboot issue of the mobile as the RAM is 190 MB avaiable and gets flooded soon

Gingerbread is listed on some chinese websites for this fone, but performance is slow
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gabib77:
@schloss - Thank you for the link... the only forum I found something abou Star A8 was the russian one and I had to translate with Google Translator to find what is here :D

Now is too late, I replaced "phone.apk" in system\app\ using Root Explorer and all is OK for now...

I also have a backup for original "phone.apk" just in case

LE: for noobs like me in the Android system - use RootExplorer Full Version to copy phone.apk and change permissions of new Phone.apk to rw-r--r--

What other questions do I have:

1. Is there any way to turn on the LED from camera when I use a flashlight application... I tried all the applications from the market, but no one can turn ON the camera led :(

2. One more thing: I use English language at menu and when I type a numer it appears a line "-" between every 3 digits like that "072-239-2803". I want to appear simple "0722392803". When I switched the phone in Italian language, everything is perfect. I think that is because is English US, not English UK

Can you help me with that too? Thanks again, in advance :D

LE2: Thanks again @schloss for you answer on the other forum:

Does anybody have a video ringtone app that works using this phone... I tried all from the market and were very slow or not working :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] prasad12ka4:
As this phone has a limited amount of user memory available (RAM) thus some apps work slow, namely Viber, Angrybirds, etc
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gabib77:
I know that... that is why I asked if anybody found a videoringtone application which works fluent on this phone ;)

Someone said that neither a permanent call recorder application won't work,too... Try "Auto Call Recorder Pro" (attached here) and works fluent and without any beep during the call ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] caesare:
ROM or Firmware

I have this phone, but they do not read the SIM chips, or has no line, i get on the screen to insert SIM. I have read in many forums and they all tell me that is the firmware or ROM, someone on here has it?

I have read a little about how to install, but if you like you know how to do so will give you all my thanks.

In fact I downloaded a file tell me is the firmware but when I try to put with the SP Flash Tool exe_v1.1052.03, tells me that INCORRECT SCATTER FILE FORMAT

The File size it's 80 Mb i cant attach here. and the link it's to long.

Thanks in advance.

I think you can use chainfire's CWM tool to flash this ROM, with an option of rooting it too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gee2012:
So we flash code, modem and csc file.

But what is the UMS.............user_low_ship_16GB.tar file?

Before flashing closing Kies, also close in windows taskmanager Kies.PDLR and Traymanager!

This happened to me yesterday flashing kka no brand on a branded galaxy note. To solve this , after flashing kka with this problem, i flashed an old rom (2.3.5), i do a wipe from stock recovery and then i reflash kka and The problem was solved. Probably was a problem of flashing directly on a branded phone. Resume

1) kka no brand with null problem (in this case kl8)

2) 2.3.5 no brand from samfirmware and wipe

3) reflash of kka no brand of 1)

The problem was solved also downloading another keyboard but i wanted the stock keyboard working

Has anyone tried using samsung keyboard?

No matter what key I press, "null" is typed. Swypw works fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] easycure1974:
Works fine for me but I flashed the csc file afterwards because when after flashing the firmware and I tried to change csc file it was blank - nothing to choose. So I just took the csc file and flashed it and could after that change csc. Suppose the keyboard thing could be of this? I used Mobile Odin
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ale.landra91:
Yes read my post some pages ago about null problem
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] renatox:
installed on my italian galaxy note

no problem with sms and samsung keyboard

i flash via odin on windows pc
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] eybee1970:
So what differs kl8 from kl7 is additional csc files added....rest seems the same...so no new base for rocket as i already added multi csc to kl7 :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] easycure1974:
And newer modem, has not noticed anything else
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jaiiscool:
Strange,

KL7 changelist: 823206

KL8 changelist: 793489

Confused!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] easycure1974:
Thats only me that changed in build.prop I think, I said I was not good at this :) I took from an older working build.prop that I haved. Here you have one with correct changelist
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toofank:
so ..which zimage do I use to root it? tried KL3 ..it wouldnt root :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dr.ketan:
So it means flash CSC with Mobile odin causing error?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] renatox:
Sorry,but i don't try to flash via mobile odin
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toofank:
yes. i used mobile odin first.. it messed up the csc.. so i gt the null problem..

but after that i flashed with odin from pc..and everything works fine :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kkkok8051:
all u need is in n7000xxkl8. faster n smoother.great than kl7.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dr.ketan:
Ok thats now clear, now what about Root?

If flashed with Odin PC, How to get root?

And suppose flash with mobile odin to keep root intact, CSC can be flash again ? How ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] indie:
Hi

Do i need to be rooted to install this? I have a Note from germany through amazon.de. I do not want to root and lose warranty. Do i need to install the kernal file as well?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dr.ketan:
No, If you dont want to Root then you can flash as per said on OP, (with three files)

Rooted is require only if you want to keep Root intact, in that case you need to use mobile odin
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] easycure1974:
I flashed firmware with Mobile Odin - CSC was blank. Flashed only the CSC file with Mobile Odin after that and then I could change my CSC to XEU - but it will wipe your phone but I suppose you know that
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dr.ketan:
FOR EXPERT ONLY

I have read in some post in SGS II, when kernel file is separate, there procedure was like this, First Flash with 3 file as per OP

then again flash kernel file by selecting PDA again

Does it not so here?

Sorry, this is my question, dont implement it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gee2012:
Does anybody have a link for downloading a Dutch (XEN) CSC file?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ale.landra91:
Is it correct? Kernel in pda a second time?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gee2012:
Yes, thats correct,but you don`t have to flash the kernel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ale.landra91:
No root needed. U dont lose your warranty if you have all stock because odin via PC is an official way. So far so good. For now dont install kernel because we are not sure.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ale.landra91:
Then i flash in a second time in PDA section? Does the kernel number change from flashing only code file on pda? Because maybe it is included in code file
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] easycure1974:
Why flash kernel a second time? If you flash the complete file you will get KL8 kernel. Why flash it again? On the SGS II you you could flash a rom and the flash like CF root kernel to get root but then you got the yellow mark. Then you could flash original kernel over CF kernel to get rid of yellow mark but keep root. But on Note you will not get rid of yellow mark by only flashing an original kernel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ale.landra91:
Yes is the same of what i think. If you install the code file it is a full ROM and include the kernel. The kernel file is separate for who want only the kernel. But flashing PDA file it include everything. From stock ROM to system to kernel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ale.landra91:
In fact i ask this...watching if kernel change before and after main PDA file
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gee2012:
Yes it is included in CODE
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] TechPurist:
Hi guys,

I have a non rooted sim free UK Galaxy Note with Baseband KK5, Android 2.3.6. Can I use the 3 file method to update to KL8? Will it wipe my phone?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gee2012:
Yes it will wipe everything, exept anything in your external sd-card
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] TechPurist:

Is the my apps functionality still there and Samsung apps such as S note etc?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ale.landra91:
Oh yes for everything
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gee2012:
I think so, it`s much faster and has no lags at all. Off course all apps are functional, its official samsung software
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] magickiller9:
Wipe or non-wipe. just to confirm .
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gee2012:
It`s a wipe rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] suniljozef:
Hi can anyone tell me if I flash this rom with odin will it increase counter or show yellow triangle.. I have a rooted device
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gee2012:
No counter increase or triangle as its official samsung software, you will loose root however and its a wipe rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] TechPurist:
Thanks. I do like to keep things updated. I used to always update my windows mobiles but after using iphones for 3 years before moving to the note I am a bit out of touch. The smoothness of ios is all I miss at the moment. Loving the galaxy note :)

Good opportunity for me to start again now I have a bit more experience.
