Another problem using custom rom is related to APN

If I use my "3" sim the APN is automatically dected but when I insert TIM sim (Telecom Italia mobile) the phone automatically set some wrong APN

I know that , custom roms has a variety of problems , not only this one ......

I was reading for a week before i bought this phone and as i see that many people has problems with custom roms and official roms , so i decided to stay with the 2.2.2 firmware and modified as i wanted and did some theming also ,, and the results was great .....

the most serious work for our phones , made by , kalo , and we have to admitt that,,,, if we're not having , kalo , then the things will be even worst ....

as you see we dont have any devs , working for our phones ,, except kalo

PS

I'm a little strange with phones, l want all functions of my phone working properly , and not having issues , that's why i'm staying here.......:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mariosbbs:
hello gkalenis :)

I have another question for you

if you have some experience with UMTS radio signal and the need to lock the phone on 2G or 3G...

I must lock my phones on 3G for various reason

every phone worked well and slightly at the same way ( from LG with proprietary software to Nokia Symbian and Samsung with Android )

I mean that if the phone is placed on my desk the signal is always very low but stable ( 3G )

the things changed with the U8800Pro (tried only with custom rom )

placed on my desk at the usual place I'm "unreacheable"

the only way that I can follow is to move the phone near to the window

once it's registered to the network I can place it on my desk but the signal can be easily lost. This is the 1st phone with "3G" signal problem on my desk

also very cheap phones have always worked well

I hope that 2.2 original rom can fix this

tonight I have the time for the "downgrade"
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mariosbbs:
mmhm :(

I'm trying to downgrade...but now from 10 minutes the phone showing "Firmware update - step 2/2 - Installing - Do not turn off the device" (1st step ) :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Mario ,, i don't have such a problem , neither with 3g nor with apn ,, so i can't help you further on this , i'm sorry.....

Also for downgrade , i don't now further , cause i'm still in 2.2 .....

But a friend who did it , said that , don't have any problems with the steps .....

The guide is exactly as he did it ...

Edit ....

Try to boot into recovery and do a full wipe ( data,cache ,dalvik , format system )......

Try also , to do the steps like that...

Put the sd card and battery and connect usb cable and start the downgrade ..... or try to do the steps without battery and only via usb cable ....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] termagazis:
first step is with the smaller file.it should be only few seconds.you must put only one file first and when this finish you delete this file and put the other file(the bigger).not rename the file
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Mario , termagazis is the friend who did it ( the guide made by him),,, so trust him .....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mariosbbs:
many thanks gkalenis :-D

problem (downgrade) solved using 2GB Kingston MicroSD, before I've used 16GB Kingston and for some reason the downgrade stopped 3 times at the end of 1st step ( to be more exact: the animation become locked when the 1st file was partially updated )

fortunately the phone still able to complete the 1st step using 2GB MicroSD

changes : ( :D )

battery still over 95% from 8:30 :D (wifi on, many backup restore, some 3G "tour" on Play Store...now it's like a "normal phone" :) )

now the phone placed on my desk can detect the "Hutchinson 3G" (my usual operator) slightly like every other phone :D. The "baseband" isn't the "4020..." ( I don't remember the exact number) that I've seen on every mod but "203026"

(I also have one Samsung android phone and the "basebands" can be changed

http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/basebands/ )

"Preferred network mode" does not work: if the phone is in roaming and I set "WCDMA Only" the network is detached and the phone try to connect on 3G home network...but if Hutchinson 3G is not available the phone goes in 2G roaming...

hi gkalenis :-)

now I'm thinking if it is possible to do this step via "recovery"

e.g. some .zip containing superuser app + su + busybox
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Follow the guide , to root it ...

Its so easy , ,, it needs almost 3 minutes ,,, you can do it , even with a netbook......

I cannot provide , such a flashable zip , right now ...

Root it , its easy .... and try to not have enable , hi suite ...

Then do the changes and you'll see how fast and reliable can became the stock 2.2.2 rom ...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mariosbbs:
oh yes- it's easy

but I'm thinking to some more logical-(con)sequential-plain way
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Flashable zip , of course it's much easier ,, but i can't do something on this right now , so for now ,you've better follow the guide ....

this morning I have already done all

now only looking for some "much more elegant way" to enable root access

Huawei 8800 pro

Hi all,

I am new member to your online community.

My first post is about a problem i created to my new 8800 pro.

All these time mine phone was in stock mode but all these programs in play store was telling me that my phone is slow

about 600 cpu speed too low graphics and all the time that 80% of ram and cpu are full. So a lot of times the phone was slow.

I tried to play the expert without having any knowledge about android.

So due to different guides,

1) i rooted the phone

2) i delete system files so i couldnt find how to go to settings

3) i changed by mistake all files from pink screnn /folder image/

4) i didnt made a backup

So after all this stupid things i did

A)Is anyone to help me how to change all image files to stock ones cause my phone does not boot.

B) and how to install a rom with name kalo i have download.

c) Also i have download from huawei site a a.tar firmware file but i have no idea how to use it.

Ty all... I dont have another phone so if someone can help me . i would appreciate.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] binoj.6066:
First of all I am appreciating for what you did. Then you have to download Official Huawei 2.3 ROM. Then Flash your Upro with the Official 2.3. Instructions are there in the zip file which you may download.

Download B572 with all 3 steps , here ... http://www.mediafire.com/?7dyy01dzy68ns94

Download B512 with all 3 steps, here ... http://www.mediafire.com/?ldvm8pn6uh3beop

Follow the guide to upgrade here ... http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2146856

(Un zip the downloaded file. You can see the dload files in it according to the step vice you have to copy the dload folder to the root of your SD card then switch on the phone by pressing the Vol+ and Vol-, and then it will automatically update your phone.)

Now you are having official 2.3 Upro, flash clock work recovery 5.0.2.7(change recovery.img file in pink screen with clock work recovery, ). Then flash Kalo ROM
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] john2013ko:
Ty for help

Ty so much for your help but i cant open the link with the guide (how to do it)

And when you write with all 3 steps what do you mean?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
My friend, first of all , download this ... http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?b3qkwulqemswxfq

Extract the zip content and take from inside the "2.2 froyo image folder " (it's the froyo stock image folder ).

Then, turn of your phone and enter pink screen by pressing, vol+ vol- and power on.

Then replace your content of your image folder with the downloaded files from 2.2 stock image folder.

After you finish with this, you will have 2 options .

First option is to flash Horsemageddon rom.

And second is to upgrade to 2.3 official firmware.

Note

First ask, and then do things with your phone.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] john2013ko:

[Android General] austriker27:
Hey Folks,

So a few years ago I had a HTC G1, and loved the rooting game and thus was on this great site quite a bit. Since then I moved on to love blackberrys and currently own a 9900. I love how data and overall efficient BB's are, but thats neither here nor there. I am not here to dispute this, to each his own..

I have possibly considering a return to android (self professed mobile-ADHD here) and differently am thinking about which android is the best phone with a qwerty..

Seems like there are few options out there...

1. Motorola Admiral

-solid phone but not the greatest display and CPU

-no 4G but I love how its sturdy and military grade

2. HTC G2

-solid follow up to G1 but seems processor is a bit 'outdated'

3. Droid 4

-sounds like the keyboard is real solid here

Any thoughts or opinions? (Just looking for a good natured dialogue here) I am leaning towards the admiral to be honest but wanted to turn to you experts. Perhaps I am over looking another mobile out there.

thanks!
[Android General] enigmaamit:
Have you looked at the HTC desire z ?

Beamed from the Dark Side using xda premium.
[Android General] thebobp:
As a warning before you start: the stronger, "flagship" phones are generally keyboardless (blame the iphone for that). I'm afraid that going for exclusively keyboard phones would probably leave you disadvantaged. I would definitely suggest trying a touchscreen; it's not that terrible to get used to. :)
[Android General] spunker88:
The Droid # series have some pretty good keyboards, but you'll have to deal with Motorola's locked down bootloader and slow updates. Despite that the community here has ICS ROMs out already.

What carrier do you plan on going with, are you staying At&t or are you willing to switch?

- You can get a Droid 3 for free with a 2 year contract from many places. Compared with the Droid 4, the Droid 3 has a removable battery, no 4G, only 512MB vs 1GB RAM, and Motorola has promised the Droid 4 ICS.
[Android General] austriker27:
That is the same as the G2. So yea I have; it was the phone I was looking at last summer but now it seems its just a tad outdated..

Also I do kind of prefer HTC over motorola as it seems their phones are more open(ish) and I also think their build quality is more solid/more professional and less consumery. (if that makes sense lol)

I think I would probably want to stick with att perhaps but am willing to test the waters. I was thinking about giving sprint a test run with the admiral (lame its locked to their network).

I found

another contendor

! The HTC MyTouch Slide 4G. Seems like a pretty great keyboard, dual core processors and made by HTC. Also I know its a small point but I like the optical scroll-pad on it (like the G1 scroll ball or BB pad).

Thanks for the input people!

Think its time for some photos to illustrate this thread..
[Android General] austriker27:
Yea I realize that, its a bit unfortunate that seems all the companies are obsessed with big screens and no keyboards for their flagships. I think if one of the big ones would just make a fantastic phone with the qwerty they would have a real winner.. If only if only.. THanks for the warning though; I have tried the on screen keyboards and with the amount of emailing I do I just cant compromise on that :o just call me ignorant I guess :D
[Android General] spunker88:
I'll agree with you on that one, Motorola has become very locked down. I and many others troll their Facebook page asking them to unlock bootloaders like they promised. I would say Motorola's hardware is professional feeling, my Droid 3 feels nice and heavy and has a metal bezel around the screen. Never used HTC hardware so I can't tell the difference. There is a GSM version of the Droid 3 supposedly heading to At&t soon.

[Android General] Mrgadgetz:
I can affirm the build quality and responsiveness of the droid keyboards. I have the droid 3 and have had no problems with it. My previous phone was the incredible and I preferred touch only phones. Now I'm not sure I can go back.

Edit: I'd also like to add that I do like the responsiveness of HTC software. It blows Motorola out of the water. My droid 3 runs choppy if I'm using stock. The incredible was zippy and smooth by comparison.

G2 Desire Z

Just wanted to add some thoughts on this topic as I believe keyboard phones are grossly under-represented throughout most U.S. carriers.

The G2 is in my opinion ( after owning over 24 different Android devices) is the most capable and customizable qwerty phone out there. Once you have rooted it, put a solid ROM on it and overclocked it ( I have mine at 1.5Ghz no issues) you have one of the best devices out period. I cannot get used to on screen keyboards and I know I am not the only one so lets hope they make a G3.

G2:

Great screen

Great Battery life

4G

Keyboard

Boot-loader unlocked

Tons of ROMS

Good call quality

Overclockable CPU
[Android General] Danny Iwan:
A.I Keyboard definitely the best keyboard out there.
[Android General] austriker27:
Ooohhh man, you mentioned overclocking and I actually looked at some G2's on ebay tonight. Oh so tempting. If I remember right, the CPU and RAM are just some of the lacking categories (which is from it being released 'awhile ago now').. What do you think comparing it to a droid 4 or mytouch 4g slide? Those are 3 phones in contention right now for me, as I look to re-enter the android qwerty world..
[Android General] molesarecoming:
i think the concept of taking an input mechanism that was designed for 10 fingers and two hands and minimizing it into a tiny mush is really silly, and outdated - even worse with real buttons instead of software keys. why would anyone still buy that? on smartphones you enjoy things like swype, 8pen, messageease, snapkeys, beeraider, etc. many more will crop up and re-define one/two-finger typing on smaller devices, in a year or two the mere thought of tapping out texts with these silly mini-keyboards will probably sound ridiculous to us. :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuP6AQPRpUg
[Android General] spunker88:
Hardware keyboards provide better feedback than software keyboards. Haptic feedback is nowhere near as good as feeling the physical keys themselves. For regular texting Swype is just as fast if not faster than a real keyboard.

But if you like to use a terminal, dos emulator, or anything that doesn't use many real works and a lot of symbols a physical keyboard is much better, plus you don't lose the space on your screen.
[Android General] MCMillant:
i think experia pro is best , big button, simple but effective
[Android General] molesarecoming:
sure, just sayin' - i run a webserver aswell and do alot of shell hacking, but i'd probably still prefer a bluetooth pad than sort of crippling the device with a fixed miniature 10-finger keyboard. but i just mentioned it in case someone didn't know, i've been using the android on-screen keyboard for a long time, way too long, unaware that there's something different. :)
[Android General] Hermetics:
Droid vs Mytouch 4g vs G2

Good points! Let me see if I can address some of the other options and why I don't think they are as good.

First off i do like the Droid line of phones and think they can be a real alternative to the G2. I am not sure that there are as many ROM's for the Droid line but all you need are a few good ones to make it worth it. The mytouch 4g i owned but felt its keyboard was too flush to be of real use.

An important fact to consider is that if you by a Droid from Verizon it is locked on that carrier and there is currently no other carrier in the U.S. to switch your phone over to and still have 4G working. With T-mobile you can use your phone over seas no issues but would also not have 4g if I wanted to use it on AT&T.
[Android General] johnconnor39:
Try the Verizon Samsung Stratosphere which is one best qwerty keypad smart phone. It has sliding full QWERTY keyboard and 4G LTE connectivity.
[Android General] Fire n mage:
I'm an OG epic 4g user, and I have to say this keyboard has never failed me, I'm running AOKP cm9 right now we got development still rolling and I have no desire for a new phone yet! It's been over a year. Processor is alittle outdated but you don't really need much power, Droid 4 is great but is bootloader locked and there's no battery cover, those problems are non exsistant on this phone, plus I can play pretty much ever 3d game out there with some combination of chainfire and overclock, extended batteries are also avaiable for longer batttery life.
[Android General] Fire n mage:
That's just a copy of the OG epic btw :P
