[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emexrulsier:
I found my old galaxy S last night and thought I would run a quick benchmark using Quadrant against my galaxy S2. As you would expect the S2 overal beat the S1... apart from 3D performance. It was only a few marks faster but the S1 did out perform. This was noticeable on the gpu section where they is a planet revolving around the frame rate was almost double that of the s2. Both phones are running ginger bread 2.3.5 @ stock
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorator:
First of all, look at all the things you have running in the background on the S2.

Second thing, you're probably running the android 4 optimized version of quadrant on the s2 and the old gb version on the s1.

Install the newest on both. Reboot them both. Test then.

If you still have problems go into settings->applications->running and see what's slowing down your phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frozenthunder:
It's propably because the software runs more efficient on the S1.

Also who cares about benchmarks anyways? There aren't any apps out there for the S2 which have good graphics or bring the processors to its limits. Name me one which does that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emexrulsier:
Ive now come to the conclusion the quadrant simply is **** :d

ics 3D perf gone up but 2d dropped dramatically obviously far too software limited.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splendidtryme:
Wow the replies are either fanboyism or just honest ignorance and mistakes.

First of all he is running the same current version on both.

All those things running in the background are actually on the S1 not the S2...

Its not just quadrant standard that shows this. I have consistently been dissapointed with the SGS2 3d perf in general.

Name one?

Jet car stunts runs worse on the SGS2 and looks worse than on the SGS1.

The SGS2 refresh rate is also lower making games run worse.

IF you look at sysetm information, CUBE MAPS and CROSSBAR COMBINED not supported on the SGS2. Everything supported on the SGS1.

Personal experience, a lot of 3D games run much nicer and look nicer on the SGS1.

Really disappointed withe SGS2 screen and 3D perf.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lady_Chloe:
The SGS 2 has a Mali gpu, while the SGS 1 has a PowerVR gpu. Theoretically SGS 2 should be faster but because of architecture differences it may behave worse under conditions that favour the PowerVR. I have not had problems with my SGS 2 being slow but I have not played really demanding games yet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emexrulsier:
It's because that phone hasn't been switched on for a ages and it also has no Sim so when I turned it on things like Ebay spring up with old messages
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
for benchmark u can try Antutu app over Qadrant app since it gives more accurate results over and above Quadrant one:)

Got my HOX few days back and while calling I am seeing a drop in call volume randomly. Its like I am talking to some person and their voice volume would go down to the level of almost inaudible.

At first I though it was some crazy network issue for limited time but now I am getting concerned. Gotta love all the processing poweress, design, screen and stuff but not ready to work with this kind of issue.

Can any one please point me in the right direction on whether I got a faulty piece or any fix for this issue. Thanks in advance.

Since there isn't much information (in English) about how to upgrade the Zopo ZP100 phone to ICS I've now done it myself (after reading a lot of Russian forums using Google Translate I finally took the plunge into the deep end of the pool and just did it).

Files needed

ICS ROM (b79):

http://narod.ru/disk/48456521001.ee...T75_h932_b79_pulid_sw 20120428-14151.rar.html

Root:

http://files.dangerd.org/pub/ZP100//zopo zp100 4.0ROOT by008.rar

Flashtool:

http://narod.ru/disk/44888871001.ee...6c3e795/SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1206.01.zip.html

USB Drivers (and a flashtool I didn't use):

http://chinamobiles.org/downloads/zap/ZP100fix.zip

CWM Recovery:

http://files.dangerd.org/pub/ZP100//recovery.img

First of all: Make a note of your IMEI-number(s)

Download the files and unpack all (in seperate folders).

Shutdown the phone and plug it in via USB, Windows will search for a driver which you find in the package ZP100fix.zip (different inf-files depending on windows version).

Unplug phone, remove the battery.

Replace the recovery.img from the ICS ROM with the one downloaded seperately.

Start flashutil.

Load Scatter-file: MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc2.txt

Make sure that Options -> USB Mode is selected.

Click Download

Connect phone (still with no battery, at least I had to leave it out).

Flashing begins.

When all is done it displays an "OK window".

Now reboot the phone and when booted connect to USB again and run Root.bat from the package: zopo zp100 4.0root by008"

Follow on-screen instructions.

I did not need to install any separate Google Apps, it was included in the ROM.

Now you need to add some IMEI-numbers to your phone.

In the original ROM I could only ever see one IMEI for my zp100, so I wrote that down.

IMEI2 I took from an old Nokia I hadn't used for a few years.

Use terminal app or adb shell or whatever to execute the following (replace IMEI_1 and IMEI_2 with your IMEI's):

echo 'AT + EGMR = 1,7, "IMEI_1"'> /dev/pttycmd1

echo 'AT + EGMR = 1,10, "IMEI_2"'> /dev/pttycmd1

Update: Zopo IMEI Tool in English can be downloaded from here: http://depositfiles.com/files/wi41lcuvb (should eliminate the need for the terminal-hack above). If the system language on your phone isn't set to English the utility will be displayed in Chinese by default, so setup your phone to use English before running it.

If you want your external sdcard mounted as /sdcard (/mnt/sdcard) instead of /mnt/sdcard2 you have to replace the /etc/vold.fstab with the following:

http://www.cactuz.net/files/zp100/vold.fstab

Use root-explorer (make a backup of the old one) to replace it, then shutdown your phone and remove the battery, then plug it all back in and start again and your external sdcard shoudl be mounted on /sdcard (/mnt/sdcard) instead.

Hope this helps.

I'll report back here with any bugs etc.

To use RecoveryMod I have to chose it from the menu in MobileUncle Tools or ClockWorkMod Rom Manager, I have not been able to boot to CWM using VolUp+Power.
[Android General] cactuz:
Some of my favorite apps can't be downloaded from Google Play Market:

Vignette

Endomondo Pro

Snowstorm Weather Widget

GPS Status

I have been able to restore them all using MyBackup Pro and they are running fine, they just aren't compatible according to Play Market.

So any app you really need is good to make a backup of using MyBackup (or Titanium or any other backup app of your choice) so you can restore it if it can't be installed using market after the ICS upgrade.

Note that all these apps can be installed fine on my other devices using ICS (HTC Desire with CM9 and Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 with CM9 or AOKP) so it's this ROM that is the issue AFAIK.
[Android General] DaveKnowsAll:
Thank you ... I'll follow up in a couple weeks

Ordered my zopo yesterday (for the second time -- waited 2 weeks from the first store (merimobiles) and then cancelled when they still hadn't shipped it. Hopefully I'll have better luck this time.)

I appreciate you posting this info and will try it out when I get the phone.
[Android General] cactuz:
Good luck Dave,

I ordered mine from etotalk.com, got it in about a week with DHL used for shipping.

I've updated the first post with some more info in regards to RecoveryMod and mounting external SDcard as /mnt/sdcard (/sdcard).

Since I use this phone daily I will probably not experiment much with it until any new official release is available. But the current one (b79) is good enough.

There are quite a lot of crappy chinese apps (crappy since I don't know what they do and they aren't translated into a language I can understand) installed with this ROM bit they can all be removed using the normal App-menu in the system settings.

[Android General] cactuz:
rohit: I can't say for sure if the phone actually reports two IMEI's to the service provider, but at least it displays two IMEI's when I check "About phone" in the sytem settings.

Newby with ZP100

I have bought a ZP100 with Pandawill.

Received yesterday. Wait around 10 days from China to France

It seems to be ok but there is no Android Market application (or Android Play store)

So i cannot download my applications that i bought with older phone and my phone is not interesting without applications :(

There is a chinese application looks like a chinese android market but ... i am french and chinese is only beautiful drawings for me.:p

I difficultly download some but cannot find others

If i change ICS (what is ICS ? System ?) will i resolve my problem ?

I download 2 files (http://www.zopomobile.com/xiazai.php) this morning but i don't know how to install it and afraid there is only chinese language

ZP100_20120510new4.0.rar (think is the last android version)

I flashed ROM very often on Windows mobile samsung phones i900 and GTi8000 but i don't know Android (just install Android as 2nd system on GTi8000 Samsung). Hope someone can explain me what to do to improve the basic system

Other problem : sometimes i have no network on the 2 SIMs, all stop. I must stop and reboot the phone. Has somebody the same problem ?

Last : how to switch to recovery mode ?

ZP100 and ICS upgrade experiences

Hi Guys,

I bought the ZP100 1,5 weeks ago from etotalk.com.

After 1 week i tried to upgrade to ICS about this and Colonel ZAP's description.

My experiences with the ICS upgrade:

When i received the phone, on that was etotalk v1.0 firmware.

It is a very good customized rooted ROM, works fast and it has just some minor bugs.

The only problem was, it could only read the internal storage, when i insert an external SD card. It was strange, but i accept it programming defects.

I downloaded the official 2.3.6 and this B79 ICS, VCOM (Flash) drivers and the flash program.

At first, i downloaded the ClockWorkMod Recovery for chinese phones.

Unfortunately it is make a factory reset on the phone, but after you customize it, you can make full backup about your ROM.

IMPORTANT! Copy the backup to your computer, because the ICS ROM formatted my external SD

This is very recommended, because...

At first i installed the linked B79 ICS ROM.

The default language is chinese, but it contains english, so if you know the android, it is not a challenge to change it. It couldn't read the internal memory neither, just after format it.

It wasn't rooted, and deleted IMEI. When i tried to root (different way as 2.3.6, need USB debug mode and ADB) the Windows doesn't recognize the ADB driver. The driver wasn't in Android SDK, and i can't download it (i haven't tried it on Linux yet). For a moment Windows showed it found HTC Dream device. I downloaded HTC drivers, but it didn't work with it neither.

Without this you can't restore the IMEI.

Ok, go back to the official 2.3.6.

I flashed it back. Almost the same effects. Default chinese language, the internal memory cannot readable. I could root it and install CWM recovery back.

Basically it doesn't contains Play store, but you can install it.

The ROM full of chinese programmes and my experience was it is very unstable.

I uninstalled the chinese programmes, and installed Play store. When i wanted make a call, the phone restarts. The Google Play Store froze every time.

Finally i restore back the etotalk ROM, and i use it.

Maybe if i have time/mood i will install the official ICS, but about my experiences i have doubts with it.

p.s.: in about 30C outside temperature i used the phone (installing programmes). After 10 minutes using it sings that the battery is too hot, remove it from the phone.

Is any other better quality battery what is compatible with this phone? thanks

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

Hi jbctiong,

I used CWM recovery 5.5.0.4.

Just carefully, because it make a full factory reset.

And you need to insert an external SD card

Somebody try it ?
[Android General] vzzoli:
hello carabaothai,

I used it for backup/restore my ROM.

But you can use nandroid backup too.
[Android General] cactuz:
Sorry for my abscence from this thread, I've been busy all weekend actually tuning a car instead of my phone :)

buntybauva: I've got no problems with USB Mass Storage, could you explain what problems you experience?

I made a nandroid backup of the old ROM, but I haven't used it so don't actually know if it works.

rohit: I ordered mine from etotalk.com

carabaothai:I forgot to mention that the ICS-rom I linked to (and flashed myself) is in Chinese as default, but can be changed to English using the System Settings, luckily there are icons in there so you can find the symbol for language (hint for anyone who doesn't know: It's an "A").

ICS = Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0)

I have not experienced problems with loosing network on the SIM cards.

jbctiong: I had not tried any nandroid backup/recovery yet, tested right now and it doesn't seem to be able to actually do any backup. Some mount errors for sdcard.

vzzoli: Thank you for sharing your experiences.

I agree that the etotalk-ROM is quite good, but I always want the latest stuff on my gadgets ;)

I have not had any issues with reading my sdcard nor in etotalk-rom or in the later ICS-rom.

The ICS rom did not format my external SD. But one should always make a backup of course (I backup my SDcard before every flash I try).

One bug I found in the current ROM is that the Cam/Videocam-switch on the phone doesn't make any difference what position it's in.

I'm going to see what the russian forum says about the official release, I'm quite happy with the one I'm currently running so no real need to change, but there could be performance reasons to change or maybe something else.
[Android General] vzzoli:
I downloaded to the "official" ROM and updated my phone

I think this is the same ROM as B79, just renamed the version.

Remove the IMEI, not rooted, other MTP driver needed etc.

@cactuz:

What operating system did you use for root the phone?

I'm using Windows, and the new official ICS ROM wants different ADB drivers than the 2.3.6.

Without this, i can't root it, and restore IMEI.

Buntybauva's mass storage problem maybe that the Windows recognize the ICS phone as media device, but can't mount as usb mass storage without a third party program
[Android General] cactuz:
vzzoli: I used Win7 32bit when I rooted the phone, used the scripts supplied in one of the links in my initial post.

When I restored the IMEI I used Linux since that is my prefered choice whenever using ADB.

I can't check right now what version because I've apparently forgot my VPN-password so I can't connect to my computer at work :o

Does the camera-switch work for changing between Camera and VideoCam on the new official rom?

some quries with ICS rom

Ppl who own this can you plz answer below points ?

1. SOmeone here mentioned that after upgrade to ics, the led flash light is NOT as powerful as it was with GB rom. Now this porblem is only seen when u upgrade from GB to ICS, or what abt phones which ships with ICS rom, they also has the same led power issues ?

2. On ics rom, does market wrks w/o issues, can you download apps ?

3. Has any1 tried using higher capacity battery other than stock 1650mah ? Howz the battery life with 1650mah ?

4.What abt games, whats the most power intensive game you hv tried on this phone ?

5. Any1 from india who got this, is there any issues using both sims ? did you pay any customs when u get this ?

6. which site would you recommend to buy this phone ?
[Android General] berlin51:
1) I got ICS 4.03, original build 10/5 & the led flashlight light is weak. I have not seen any reports that an update to the 20/6 ROM will improve things.

Everything else works well, although I put an amended gps.conf file in place to speed up GPS fix in the UK. Details are on the xda forums & other places if you want to change it for India gps. See pool.ntp.org/en/ or Google 'gps.conf'

2) I had to put a 'market fix' into the etc/permissions folder, after rooting the phone to get full market recognition. The 2 files are: tablet_core_hardware.xml & android.hardware.location.xml (the attributes of both xml files have to be set: see page 12 of this thread) It took 3 or 4 visits to the play store before it unlocked all the usual apps for installation.

3) I tried a Saner 1900 for the HTC Sensation from Amazon & it has just started to give a good 2-3 days, after 6 charge-discharge cycles. I have got a 1900 Anker for HTC Sensation, also from Amazon & will try it with multiple cycles to see how it performs.

4) No games yet......

5) In UK & I asked the online shop to declare low price ($20) on the package to get it thru customs. It was also marked 'Electronic Accessories' No problems. Only used 1 Sim so far.

6) I got the Zopo 100 from android-sale.com. Good response to my emails & 10 day Hong Kong airmail post.
