[Meizu MX] charlie101:
bought a quad core version

i am living in china at the moment, and recently bought one. i am really pleased with it - the quad-core version and i paid about £300 (~$450). very very happy!
[Meizu MX] saclefr:
Hello,

I read a lot XDA forum since I use Android phones (we have a HTC Desire and a Motorola Defy @home) but it's my first post so thank you for all your work !

The Desire will be replaced by the Meizu M031 (MX dual-core 2nd generation) : it is waiting for me at home.

I bought it on a china site for 381$ / ~300€ shipping included (I suppose I have no right to make an ad. The communication with the site was good and the packaging kept the phone safe)

Is it possible to get alternative rom on it ? A rom with french included would be fine :laugh:

Edit : I have ordered an HK version
[Meizu MX] beogaard:
where do you ordered it?
[Meizu MX] dman22:

[Meizu MX] lbphyq:
what's this?
[Meizu MX] ernmin:
This is indeed a very nice phone. But the M030 (dual-core) sometimes gets very hot when the CPU is heavily used. Other than that, it's very worthy for its price.
[Meizu MX] zdozi:
I like Meizu MX ! :good:
[Meizu MX] bolinao:
You can order one here for under $300 its a group deal and they only need 3 more buyers.

http://meizumxon.com/meizu-mx-new-2-core-16gb-hk-group-deal.html
[Meizu MX] BBEG:
The 4-core version on the same site is $388 with 2 spots left. I'm another hour and another beer away from pulling the trigger unless someone can come up with a compelling reason not to.

Edited to add that I snagged one. Expect a $15 surcharge in PayPal. Their recommended shipping adds $26, the other option takes a bit longer but is much cheaper.

With that said, in January the MX II releases in China, apparently:

(meizumxon.com/news/meizu-mx2-design-and-specs-announced)

If the group buy falls through, I'll probably get a cheap hold-me-over until the unlocked MX II becomes available. Everything about that phone looks awesome, spec-wise, although I will miss a physical home button. The benchmark they reference is the "Jelly Bean on Meizu MX" article that was going around, so it's a safe bet that the next Flyme is based on JB.
[Meizu MX] TwoPointZero:
Hmm, apparently Meizu is engaging in deleting and banning users from their forums, who voice criticism against their products and their behavior.

Though it isn't new, I suppose.

I am using this mod http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129404 which is really nice, but I find the samsung keyboard to be pretty basic.

so I am looking for a different keyboard layout which

- looks a bit like this one http://s7.directupload.net/file/d/2290/qqrhg4as_png.htm (has for example the comma , button on the main screen and also a separate button for smilies on the main screen)

- works in combination with the word / letter suggestion setting which should appear as soon as you begin to type (even though its activated in settings, this function doesnt seem to work with the samsung keyboard setting of this rom(/phone?))

- can be set to QWERTZ layout.

any ideas?

I've had my skyrocket for about a month now, and I've had horrible horrible battery life compared to all of you guys on here. I've tried reflashing, did the whole .3e recovery/ wipe/ fresh install tutorial that Seanz posted. (Amazing rom by the way.)

Nothing seems to work. I've calibrated my battery at least 4 different times. Oh, and for Seanz, You say your rom is 2.3.5, but in my settings it says 2.3.6. My brightness is all the way down, My data, bluetooth, gps, etc are ALL OFF! Only thing I keep on is wifi, ALWAYS. I've tried leaving my phone off the charger all night and locked to see if the drain was the same, and it is, If not just a tad less drain. I'm sorry if I didn't clarify this good enough, If someone could help me out I'd be glad to explain myself better!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Does your phone maintain a strong to moderate signal (both data and talk)? This includes the strength of your WiFi connection. I've noticed one of the biggest (if not the biggest) drain on this phone and most others comes when the phone is strugling for a decent connection. If you can, try this: put your phone in "Airplane" mode for 1 charging cycle. This means your phone won't even try to get a wireless connection of any type. To be safe, make sure the "WiFi" is off as well. See how long the battery lasts compared to it not being in "Airplane" mode. If it still sucks, you might need to see which app(s) are draining your phone. If it is noticably different, a weak signal might be the problem. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
He changed it only in text for certain apps that require Android 2.3.6, even though they'd work completely fine on 2.3.5. Somewhat an easy workaround. ;) Also took some of the features from 2.3.6 in. It's still built from 2.3.5 though.

Thiiiis is probably your big issue. If you have any apps running in the background that use data, they can keep the wifi awake, which, in turn, never lets your phone sleep. If you go to Settings>Wireless and network>Wi-fi Settings>Menu Button>Wi-Fi Sleep Policy, and set it to "When screen is off," you'll be AMAZED at how much life it can save. I've noticed drastic differences when that setting is applied. As far as without it losing around 10-15% overnight to a mere 1%.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Interlaced:
Thanks for your replies! I'll try you guys' ideas out now. I seem to lose about 1-3 percent every 10 minutes. I'll put it in airplane mode and try it for an hour.

Thank you Fortune! was wondering how to do this, You could have just solved my problem. I'll keep you guys informed! I'm amazed at this communities helpfulness. Thank you! (:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
No prob! ;)

Though, next time, if you have a question, should post it in the Q&A section of this forum. People tend to get a bit pissy about seeing Q's posted in other places, haha. Just giving a heads up!

Hope those fixes fix your battery life! That wifi sleep on has been key for my 30+ hr battery lives on SkyICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Interlaced:
Seemed to not help :| Since I've done this, It's gone from 22% to 17% in about 15-20 minutes. No apps running, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Try downloading CPU Spy from the market place and after awhile of letting it rest (about an hour or so), open it, refresh and check to see the CPU uses the "Deep Sleep" frequency at all and to see which frequencies it spends most of its time in.

Also wouldn't hurt to check Settings>About Phone>Battery Use to see what's using most of your battery life. Display, Android System, and Android OS typically hold the top 3 spots, so if anything is up there (or at a close 4th), that app could be what's bogging it down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Interlaced:
I downloaded CPU Spy and it seemed to already have data for it and it says 4% in deep sleep, 65% in 38 mhz, 5% in 810 MHz, and 1% in 1026 mhz, 17% in 1728 MHz
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Alright, well so far so good. Shows it's at least getting some deep sleep and able to idle in low frequencies. Can't really get TOO well of a reading until it's done some time with it idling though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] colonel187:
Do not set wifi policy to screen off, keep it at always. this will keep your data using wifi when connected which is way less of a drain than the 4g radio. Basically with the screen off policy your phone will still use data, it will just come from cellular instead of wifi when screen is off.

Also get this

https://market.android.com/details?id=nextapp.systempanel.r1&hl=en

It will tell you what is running constantly and draining your battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Since he has his data off, turning off the wifi with screen off will benefit him greatly. It would be stuck on otherwise. Noted:

And that app was one I was trying to think of and couldn't recall. Also definitely recommended.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] colonel187:
Ah ha. You are correct. I skipped over that detail. Just kidding about the wifi then. don't listen to me.... :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
having wifi on all the time does not drain the battery...i have wifi on 24/7 an can easily get 36 hours

30% left and ive got 26 hours runninh wifi on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Ohwow.... That's....... Interesting, haha. If I notice my wifi is on for extended periods of time, my battery starts draining a bit faster than normal.

Might have some app in his background either keeping the phone awake or just hogging background data, keeping the wifi constantly active.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
the real issue is when i actually stop being on wifi. when my phone uses data connection, mostly LTE because its everywhere around me, the battery life becomes miserable. I left the house for about 1 hour today, you can clearly see it on the graph. I should try to cut all connectivity and just allow the phone to sync every now and then, im sure ill be able to add another half a day at least to my already 1.5 days with wifi on all the time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Yeah, data is a KILLER. For me, it's usually wifi or nothing, unless I'm trying to send or receive an MMS, or need to quickly access the Internet, but I turn it back off as soon as I'm done, and I set my network to no LTE because it's not in my area.

Just take that as a note OP, lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] greekunit690:
Yeah same here. I notice more than sublet the battery life if I keep data off. I'm almost always in a wifi area so it doesn't affect me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] diomed:
It looks like your screen is almost never on. Thats what always consumes the most power on my phones, by far.

What Modem are you guys on? I'm on KK1 and it seems to drain a little more.

I am lucky if I can get 10 hours on just 4G and moderate usage. I'm still on ICS RC6.XX and thinking of going to RC7.XX and undervolting a little.

Do you guys use SetCPU to do any UV?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:

Hey polish pat, i see that your on Rogers...ive been having crazy battery life problems as well....i barely get 6 hours....while im at work, i dont get wifi so im on LTE/HSPA all the time but i can barely make it a day...when i turn LTE it barely makes a difference.....ive flashed ICS and nexus mod roms and faux 123 kernel and still get crap battery life....ive checked all wifi settings, ive calibrated, ive done everything possible...

do you letting me know which rom/kernel and what apps you use to monitor battery use or any other tricks u may have??? getting a day out of my battery would be a dream.

I've gotten better battery life after implementing this change. I've also did a factory reset + odin'd the stock Rogers tar. This has also added to my battery lengthening efforts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Zinger17:
Thanks, will give it a shot...at first i thiought messing around and modding my phone would be fun (coming from bb)...but now, ive spent 2 full months trying to improve my battery life!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
I have stock Rogers ROM with everything stock. I tried a few roms including sky ics and bonestockereer but i had little annoying bugs that discouraged me from custom roms.

I have a few power management apps, the most important is Juice Defender Ultimate, and i would pay for the ultimate version for being able to fully customize my settings and also having JD underclock my CPU when needed.

I also have an Andida 2250mah extended battery, which is the largest capacity battery without having a special rear door.

I purchased SetCPU but i've come to realise that my phone becomes choppy at times, probably because the app doesnt change profiles fast enough. In any case, underclocking the CPU is done with JDU which does a greayt job...well worth the 5$.

Besides that, my wifi is always on when home, my brighteness is at 75%...dont know what else to say
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] differense:
I've been trying JD and Green Power, and to be honest can't see any benefit to them. I've not seen any appreciable difference in battery life. This is just me, however.

My opinion: charge as often as possible, cut down on your syncing intervals and buy a higher capacity battery. Save yourself the cost of JD and Green power.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
Did you use advanced GUI to configure it??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jasongimeno:
Ditto to this, changing wifi timeout helped me a lot. I ran some Wire shark captures and found that it wasn't just the Skyrockets activity keeping the wifi going, but other things on the local LAN communicating to it, such as Windows media sharing service etc..

Another thing that helped me a lot since I use Exchange was to stop syncing my calendar through exchange and set up a Google calendar sync instead. I still sync email and contacts through native push but something about the calendar sync was causing a lot download activity. Hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PJcastaldo:
I think there something other than data or modem that's the culprit. How much screen on time are you getting? Sometimes its an app that keeps your phone from sleeping.

Hello guys,

Here I have one question about the radio.

There has been released heaps of radios and their matching RILs.

If you can recommend me with ROM and radio, I really appreciate it.

Best regards.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsdta:
There isn't one. Radios are subjective to Alot of variables. Basically what works for might not for you. So just give them a try and find what works for you
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 13770147:
I see.

So, I have to going though all the radios until i get the best one for my ROM.

Thank you, :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groschen:
No radio is the best. running 12.64.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M too and it isnt really great for me. I live in a low signal area and with 3g i get a battery drain from 300-500 mAh. when my signal is very low in standby 50 mAh. with wifi it is all great(200mAh, standby:5mAh).

so you must find a radio for yourself ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DN41:
Use the one that's recommended by the dev of your ROM ;)

Couldnt see any major difference in swapping radios.

Highest battery drain is always caused by the display, so drain by radio is not that much important for me, since I have to plug my DHD in every single evening ;)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 13770147:
Ic...thank you for ur infomation:D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 13770147:
Dats true. the highest battery drain is the display.

What I did for it is just set the display brightness to low all time so dat it does not consume heaps of battery.

Is there any way to do?

Thanks :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonRebornTester:
I'm always using the lowest brightness for my phone. Also, playing games on your phone can really put a strain on your battery life.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crack00r:
i prefare allways the ROM Coder given Radio for most effectivity
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bur2000:
You can lower the auto-brightness levels. That way battery drain will be lower than with default settings but readability of the display will be better than with a constant (low) brightness:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1235212

Just keep in mind that for Sense ROMs there is a difference:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21606415&postcount=21

So make sure you treat the up/down values right. Both lists should have the identical 9 items with the first one (for ValuesUp) or the last one (for ValuesDown) being used twice.

Easiest way to do is just lower each entry by 10% or 20%. But of course you can do your own optimizations. Just follow the rule above otherwise you'll loose the smooth transitions.

For Virtuos Affinity no recommended radio is given (well there is one given but it's not really recommended, just the default one). Also if you're having low signal strength or WiFi trouble changing the radio might always be worth a try no matter what is recommended.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 13770147:
Thank you for your information.

I will try it in the coming weekend.

Hopefull, it works well and make my desire hd's battery life longer :D

[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Hi all. Today I just found THIS. It is apparently many months old... however it's new news to me! Hashcode has developed a bootstrap for the Droid 3 that allows you to boot into CWM from "BP Tools" in the boot selection menu (power + both volume buttons).

It warns you to not use it on ANY other phone because of key filesystem differences. So unless you want to probably flash the fxz, then don't install it. (READ: you shouldn't install it, but you'll get a big thanks if you do install it ;))

@lfaber06/jimbridgman: do you guys think this can be ported to the A2?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
No need, use the one from the razr on boot from j.y.daddy..... It has been posted and used in here for quite some time... I use it and I love it.

[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
I know, I have used the Razr Recover on Boot many times before.... it's just really annoying to press the "reboot" button and wait through the red "M" again in order to boot up.

The reason that this is nice is because it makes you normally boot up like it normally does, and then you can press+hold Power/Volume to get to the boot menu to choose "BP Tools."
[Motorola Atrix 2] Deliberate:
Are u talking about it being in your power down menu?
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Yes. What we have now is something that hijacks the boot every time you boot up, and if you want to keep booting you press a button. What this does is make it so that we can boot into CWM from holding power and the volume buttons and then scrolling down to "BP Tools".

However @jim I understand that we have a completely functional CWM on boot working now. It would just be really convenient to have this. I was just pointing it out for if anyone smart enough wanted to port it (i.e. nitroglycerin33... where did he go anyways? I thought he said he would continue to develop stuff for the A2?).
