Here It is. Lets use this thread to post every information we have concerning this phone:

For the time being there is only one known official online seller :http://fruitsphone.taobao.com/ . Problem is this is only in chinese.

So all international sellers have to deal direct with fruitsphone.com on their gmail to make purchases. But again only payment method accepted is Western Union which is obviously risky.

Some of us have bought through Fastcardtech.com which is not an official reseller. But they have probably bought the product from taobao and are reselling.

Have ordered one for a friend from them . Should get it in 1 weeks time.

I am keen to try and get another one ( for myself) direct from fruitsphone but have asked for more specifications from them as they seem to have the 16g ones as well.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
Unboxing of fruitsphone 4s on youtube:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Was told in an email sent at 5pm (chinese time) that my phone was sent today... Now the time is midnight in China and still my order says "unshipped" on their website.. hoping tomorrow (It's 6pm local time) .. and they advertise for "your honest pal".. we'll see about that.. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
I think they got people to process their order follow up during the night . They sent me an email at 1 am yesterday regarding my shipping address and since then nothing else
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Ah.. thanx for info :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
Fastcardtech just emailed me 5 mins ago to tell me they will have to refund me as I am asking them to ship to different address than my paypal address/ They want me to change my paypal address and re order.

I think i ll just go ahead and buy from fruitsphone through western union
[Miscellaneous Android Development] WichNend:
Really nice! i like the GooApple V5 3G, but is a litte overpriced.

Also i see that they are not so far with the IOS rom that they have build in the "NEDERLANDS" -> Dutch language.

So i think to wait when they made this working.

Possible that the fruitsphone will be faster to made this possible.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Jesus Christ.. They've had plenty of time to check it.. I've not heard anything from them yet. When the refund make sure they also refund the 4.5% taken by PayPal..

BTW when you then get a phone directly from fruitsphone we can compare them..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
thanks I will check. Am sure that in the transaction I will be losing somehow anyway as my bank must be charging me its fees for the credit card attached to paypal...grrr

I will post the pics of the fone when I get it. Fruitsphone.com seems to be serious enough on their website . lets hope I get something from them for my money..lol
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Status for mine is now "shipped" :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
Great . For my part am still struggling with my order. They cancelled the first one and are supposed to credit back my paypal within 24 hrs.

Once this is done I will order through them again as the option through Wertern Union is not interesting . WU charges 35 USD commission !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kidbetin:
From what I read

there are two version of fruitsphone 4s

public version and retail version

Difference is the screen

Google translate does not translate well the taobao page.

Maybe its me and my antique pc :(

Hope to hear your reviews.

Thanks for the new thread....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
Yeah its very difficult to navigate on the fruitsphone.com or Taobao. But what I found was that they are actually selling it at a higher price to the chinese market . The going rate for the 8 g on Toabao is Usd 240 and Usd 260 for the 16 g.

Thats higher than the Gooapple v5 3g.

Strange that fastcardtech does not have the 16g version. But I guess we will find out that its very easy to change the micro sd.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
I have just bought a 16gb card class 6 at app. $20. Just need to buy the screwdriver when I get the phone.. :) Will do a unboxing video for sure..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kidbetin:
Fastech has 2 fruitsphone but both are 3G and they

have different screen resolution.

Was it easy to order thru Fruitsphone.com??

I tried but the site wanted a phone number and I could not go beyond that.

Tried to google their ROM,but no such luck....

Thanks for the forum.... and the ROM in future :-))
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
Perso I have given up trying to order from Fruitsphone. While they seem to be a relatively serious company , their english comms is very poor and they only accept Western Union and the later charges almost 15% commission.

So I have reverted back to ordering from Fastcardtech. Will see what comes out of it.

To be able to download the root tools and rom package from fruitphone you have to insert yout imei in the forum to be awarded a vip status. Am registered on their forum but without a working imei , I cant proceed.

I guess it would be easier that the first one of us getting the phone to complete registration, get the roms and tools and post them here.

Am not due to get it before next week - status still unshipped with ''our honest pal'' at fastcardtech!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Mine is shipped (confirmed on mail from them) I've go tracking number but can't find any trace.. I did write them before I ordered, after my order was placed, before shipping and after shipping each time to make sure they did what they had to.. have a transcription in my mail.. still waiting for first step on route to be traceable.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
Hi Whitetigerdk . Any news on yr phone? Mine is in transit too but I do not expect to get it before monday?

Am wondering if the gooapple/fruits phone roms are compatible with each other . What do you think?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
No news yet. Got the tracing code but no hit on a search.. Dunno if the ROM will work otherwise I'll have to make my own mod..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Phone arrived in DK.. Waiting to be delivered..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
Great . Can't wait to read the first review . Hope its a good phone . The one I ordered is for a friend . I ll buy one for me if its good.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
It is currently held for customs..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Great.. retained due to missing invoice..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
Received my phone today. Its definitely Not a fruits phone 4s as you could see in the video. No fruitsphone certificate, nothing. The phone seems to be of poor quality build physically. The sofware is ok except it has a lot of chinese stuff.

In the description (in settings )it says the phone model is MC517CH. Its not a 3 G phone .

I am so disappointed, I have raised a dispute with Paypal.

Fastcardtech is a scam. Do not buy from them guys
[Miscellaneous Android Development] WichNend:
WTF to bad....i was a also thinking to buy this phone.. but now i understand the **** for this crap phone. hope you received your money back... sending back is expensive with dhl or ups. Here in netherlands about 20 euro like 27 dollar with tnt - postnl. only it will take 10 or 15 days. good luck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
Update from my side. I have raised a dispute with Paypal on the basis that the phone supplied is not as described. No Fruits Phone logo logo and barcode under box, no guarantee certificate in box as described in the fruitsphone official video.

I also stated that I have email from Fruits Phone confirming the phone is fake based upon serial number and model shown in settings.

The seller started off by threatening me to report me to police ( lool ) as I was supposedly tyring to scam him. Then he came back to say that the phone he supplied had all the characteristics as per his description. He said that Fruits phone company is a scam as they only rebranding a product to sell at higher price and that it was not different to his phone.

I replied that he posted the official video of Fruitsphone.com in his product description and attached the selling page link.

I then filed for a claim for full refund as seller is dishonest.

Fastcardtech declined to refund but strangely I cannot see their reply in my Paypal comments.

Following this I got another message from paypal, saying they have ruled in my favor and approved a full refund . However I need to return the phone to Fastcardtech at my own cost. I will send it through ems tomorrow and it will probably cost me around 20 Usd but I prefer this option as the phone is crap I think and I really hate to be taken for a ride by dishonest sellers. It would not last very long in my opinion.

So here I am with this case.

Have made 2 decsions here : Forget about Fruitsphone 4s and over and above all never , ever buy anything from fastcardtech!!

ROM for Fruitsphone 4s

Hi to all,

I also bought a fruitsphone 4s from fastcardtech and my hardware is ok but with the Chinese fake IOS the GPS is not working. Any ideas where i can get an other ROM or a fix for the GPS.

Thanks for your help
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Could you post some pictures of it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fred82110:
fruitsphone 4s

Sorry for the low quality, i will do another picture tomorrow with daylight. The housing is high quality, realy simmilar to a iphone. The display is also very good but the cpu is slow and the fake IOS is useless if you are not able to read chinese. I need to install google play or any other market where you can get normal android apps, but the main thing is the GPS. it finds satelites but no fix.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fred82110:

Here are some better pictures. On the first sight it looks like the goophone V5 3G but the question is, if the ROMs will work?

Hi everyone!

For those who don't know me, I am mayiandjay. I have made many youtube videos and support for these chinese knock off phones. Lately I bought a fruits phone 4s from www.fastcardtech.com and I have made a review video here is the link check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9wIEiKB7wM

---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

Also I have sucessfully rooted the phone and installed the android market "play store".
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Great video.. could you do one on how to root this device? I'm still waiting for my package to get through customs..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alwe17:
hi everyone, i'm new here in xda-developers.com, i'm glad to have found an english-speaking group talking about the fruit phone 4s, i recently bought mine from a local retailer here in the Philippines, since i'm very close to china, i got to buy my phone for a cheaper price around $190.00(local seller price) for the "professional version" with the 512 RAM, in fastcardtech it's priced $215.00+shipping

i gotta say, it's a very nice phone and i'm very satisfied with it, really looks and feels like the real iphone 4, it's very smooth and can play 3d games effortlessly,

my only problem is the "application not installed" problem on some apk i've successfully installed and used on my other android gadgets, but i believe rooting it would solve the problem, currently studying up on mayiandjay's tutorials on youtube---a really big help :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Wow.. Then it is now your job to buy and resell at lower price than fastcardtech ;)

Welcome aboard.. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Finally.. mine has made it's way through custom..

EDIT: now waiting at the local post office :)

EDIT2: Arrived today.. unboxing video soon...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Got it. Unboxing video made.. package is missing one simcard adapter and the simcard cutter.. they have to send me too..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Jesus..

And now the phone went black.. Nothing works.. :( :( :( no key combinations works.. nothing...

Please help.. Anyone...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alwe17:
hi! had the same problem after installing some uncompatible games, i also panicked, but after an extensive research online, i found out the key combination is the 2 volume buttons + home button . . it's like a direct cutoff command or something to the battery, also functions as a recovery mode which is in chinese, hope this helped :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
It did.. thanx.. my savior... :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Wake up... You are needed..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
I am happy that you finally got yrs and were satisfied with it. For my part I was disappointed with it and returned it. It was not as per the fruitsphone 4s video. Am sure they sent me a fake one.

However looking at the Mayiandjay video, I noticed his phone had the same lag with the call button - It first displays chinese character for abt 1 sec before displaying call in english. That annoyed me. Do you have the same?

With regards to rooting , I did not try as I wanted to return it as is but am sure the same rooting process as for the gooapple would work as it has the same cpu. See the gooappleblog.com for rooting instructions .

Good luck with it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mayiandjay:
Hello guys!

I will be making a video soon on how to install a fully working market (play store) on the fruits phone 4s. Stay tuned!

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

Hi u669983!

Fastcardtech is not selling a fake one! If you see the "official" video even on the "dialer" they show, it does the same thing, that was a simple bug in the rom. Also fastcardtech does not send the original boxes because of customs problems. I am in the process if fixing these little issues!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Can the Fruit Phone use the rom from GooApple V5 3G ?

I see it has a better iOS interface accessing more Android settings than the Fruit Phone.

Or how to fully set up gapps on this phone to import google contacts, calender and so on..

Now then we just need an official MIUI rom for this phone.. :)

EDIT : Really need an English translation of the blue recovery.. Anyone?

GPS working?

Hi,

i tried hard to get the GPS on my Fruitsphone 4 s working but no success right now. Ther is a configuration file in system/etc that i tried to edit but the only way to get the fruitsphone reacting on this file is a faktory reset. Anyone here who has a working GPS in his fruitsphone 4s? My conclusion after a lot of trials is that the GPS antenna is as weak as the WI FI antenna, so it is a HW problem.

In fact the phone was as expensive as some Samsung or HTC models but is not working well. It is no good deal.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alwe17:
you could try the recovery mode (2 volume buttons + home button)

for me, i find my fruits phone very satisfactory, more than i expected actually(really, i'm not over-exaggerating) i was actually gonna buy an LG optimus 2x or an xperia play, but when i saw the fruits phone from one of the local retailers here, something came over me and i had to buy it (maybe the believable IOS ui and retina display, to trick friends that i bought an iphone 4s that's sold ridiculously overpriced locally, hehehe)

when i bought the fruits phone over the 2x & play, i had convinced myself that i was going to sacrifice the gaming, sure it came with some 'light' game apps like angry birds, but i was very surprised when i tried installing some '3d-heavy' games and they all ran smoothly

i was able to successfully install and play(all run smoothly) :

-contract killers (very very smooth, and this game lags a bit on my archos70 250gb)

-brothers in arms 2

-gangstar west coast hustle

-lord of darkness

-crazy fist

-the dead chapter one

-hero of sparta

-igun zombie

-temple run

-krazy kart racing.....and still currently downloading more games :)

the fun part is finding the compatible apk versions of the games(armv6 and HVGA) :D

also not sure about the accuracy of the quadrant standard benchmark test, but my fruits phone scored 954, higher than the samsung galaxy S (again, not sure about the accuracy, but then again, basing on the games that i was able to install and play, i believe it might be pretty accurate) (i have the 512 RAM version) :D :D

i haven't tinkered much on my phone, only rooted it to delete some built-in chinese apps, so it's pretty much stock

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

hi, my GPS is working--and pretty accurate, i configured SETTINGS>LOCATION SERVICES> then turned on everything (i'm not sure what each option means so i turned them all on) though i usually turn them off for battery life, aaand i don't see that the GPS should be a big factor in a phone

my fruits phone is only rooted but i didn't tinker with the rom or anything else, just deleted some built-in chinese apps(see my previous post)

and my wifi antenna/connection also seems to work great also, i download SD data for my installed games at around 170-200 kb/s on my home network

i think my fruits phone perform rather great, i've installed '3d-heavy' games (see my previous post), and 'might' be comparable to the samsung galaxy S(based on the quadrant standard benchmark test---see also my previous post) :D :D

i apologize if i sound a bit fanboyish, i also have other android gadgets, i just don't really want to see the fruits phone getting bad rep for being a "china phone"

hope i have helped with your GPS problem ! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
And here we go again...

I turned OFF the phone for a restart... And now.. no turning back on.

Tried these combinations

1) vol -, power

2) vol +, power

3) vol -, power, home

4) vol +, power, home

5) vol +, vol -, home

6) vol +, vol -, power

7) vol -, vol +, power, home

Got a pretty expensive hand-mirror :(

EDIT:

Got it showing up on list of devices as "Unknown Device"

EDIT2: Somehow managed to get it to life.. Said battery was at 0%..

Charged all night .. at full charged I turned the phone off in order to insert Sim.. Can't turn it back on.. Crap.. Think I'm gonna ask for a refund or a replacement of the phone. :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] WichNend:
wow nice video..

i see the little lagg.. is this all day,.or all the time after reboot?

What phone works better,. the fruits or the gooapple ?

How is the battery life? i have now a htc hd2 with android. and it work for 17 hr's.

With a lot on facebook, mail whatsapp using.

Is the battery simular like the 4s?

Rhnax for your time.

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

Oh.. As stated earlier .. I am now the owner of a very expensive hand-mirror.

When my phone tries to turn on, the screen brightens.. then the phone makes som "ticks" .. and nothing happens..

I suspect it might be that the entire system can't be read or some defect hardware.. Has anyone experienced simular??

If so.. How did you manage to fix it??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Managed to win a PayPal dispute against fastcardtech :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:

For my part , I am trying my luck with a Goophone Y5. Will see

So you bought a GooPhone Y5 from fastcardtech? Let us know if it workingbetter without lags like the GooApple V5-3G.:D

Ship back to Fastcardtech

Hi this is off topic, but I also won a paypal dispute regarding my M99 Google 4s+, I just want to know how much would it cost you guys to ship back your fruits phone 4s back to fastcardtech, because I went to my local post office, they quoted me to ship it back to China $70 from Canada with a tracking number.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
Not from fastcardtech. Will never buy from those crooks again. I bought it from Taobao . WIll get it on monday and post some review here
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
Cost me 25 Usd from Mauritius. You should not use Ems or any express service. Just normal registered post that would give you a tracking number.
