Pandawill, 175$ paypal shipped (had 5% off coupon)

didn't want to take a chance with mixshop because they write "ANDROID 4.0.3", while on pandawill its "4.0.4" (plus they claim support for "Hebrew" language, i'm keeping my finger crossed that their talking about hebrew "GUI" :fingers-crossed:)

Anyway, i'm looking for protection screen and an extra battery, could you advice where to find those?

Poor GSM signal

Hi there. I bought a haipai noble last week. It works great, excluding gsm signal. I have no gsm signal indoor, and a very poor signal outdoor. I ive in Portugal and my other phones work perfectly. Any suggestion?
[Android General] silvacrest:
are there any tips to improve wifi?
[Android General] HyperEscape:
Hi,

I was looking at the mixeshop offering as recommended by you.

The price and shipping looks like a deal to me, did you guys get what you ordered in reasonable time. What was with the customs duty, I mean what was the description and price declared on the incoming parcel

The box contents list "2 x batteries" so did you get 2 batteries and secondly it also says "1 x case" as well , is it the same flip book type leather case i have been seeing on other websites or is it something else. Even for that i have seen two type of 'em, one is plain leather (black or white) and on the other one Galaxy Note is engraved on the front side.

Thanks a lot for answering the queries before I make the purchase.
[Android General] link1227:
I figured it out, it wasn't the right phone so I had to find the right firmware, now I have an even more odd problem, Whenever I call or answer a received call, The screen goes blank and the front camera light flashes red and I have to take the battery out. I tried both sim slots and got the same results
[Android General] nambalada:
hello friend, I have exactly the same thing.
[Android General] bthoven:
My friend's Haipad Noble i9220 used to have the "screen goes off" problem.

To solve the screen goes blank when making/receiving calls:

1. power off your phone

2. press volume-down and power button together until you get the engineering mode

3. find something like FS (Front sensor) Calibration, place your phone on your table, and press the command to let it calibrate itself

4. reboot your phone again and see whether the problem has been solved

Good Luck

That's strange. Mine doesn't have such problem with Firmware May 7, June 5.

My friend's having firmware June 4 also doesn't have such problem.

The gsm signal on this phone seems strong and quite reliable.

Which firmware are you running? Have you tried reset your phone? Try some other SIM card?
[Android General] link1227:
Thanks, I just tried that, and found PS Calibration. When I try to calibrate, it says Please try again.
[Android General] tony456:
please try not to alter the settings/values in the factory mode...it could make things even worse ！
[Android General] bthoven:
If the firmware you put in your phone is not for your phone model, it may not work. Not sure you've already put the right firmware.

My friend's phone Proximity Sensor is now working properly after the calibration. No more screen off as soon as you press the call button (but when the receiver hung up, the call screen came back).
[Android General] link1227:
yes, I have the right firmware now, but I think it's an imei problem, I changed it and the screen worked but I can't hear anything through the receiver, I change the imei again and black screen again on calls
[Android General] bthoven:
Then re-calibrate PS. No harm doing so.
[Android General] link1227:
I tried, it keeps saying Try again. I have no idea what's wrong
[Android General] gotbandwidth:
hi ...

b) 3.5mm audio port is very depth, I have no idea why, so normal headphone or earphone like Beats Monster,for example, will be loose. But we still can use the one comes with the phone.

have anyone manage to find replacement earphone for this model?... since the port is kinda deep .... any earphone that can securely connected ? (not loose)

thanks
[Android General] jopereira:
Hi all,

Just bought one of these.

1. My proximity sensor "doesn't work", but Z-Device reports corretly (On/Off when covered with a finger). Could this be ROM related ?

2. This phone doesn't have compass, gyroscope, gravity, linear acceleration or rotation vector sensors? Just accelerometer?

battery life

The battery life is only about 2 days without much activity for this HaiPai Noble I9220. Anyone can advise where and what bettery battery brand to get for this phone ?

Tried finding EB625152VU as printed on the original Haipai stock battery but battery type is not the same

Thanks.

PS. I changed battery for the Star B79M from stock to Pisen brand and wow... the battery life consistently last easily for about 1 week compared with original stock 2 days max... But Pisen do not have the equivalent EB625152VU :(

[Android General] ronbo76:
ROM Flavor of the Week?

It is kind of funny/sad that we are seeing different idiosyncries or flaws in the ROMs that are being put out. While everyone wants to be with "in crowd" or hip because you have the lastest ROM, upgrading is now always best thing to do especially if you don't fully understand the process or don't have the same phone. Operator error also known as stupidity can be difficult if you can't take your bricked phone and convert it from being a fancy paperweight or neat dry erase slate.

To compare this to iGO8, several years ago there were versions being cranked out almost weekly that were marginal improvements over what had been the major final release candidate. Somewhat similar to what is going on with Firefox, users were reluctant to upgrade because the "3.0 version" was better than "3.2.1" etc.

It would be nice to see a major releaser settle on one ROM, let's say the June 5 ROM for instance, and develop it fully. This is very relevant with what ClockWorkMod is doing with its releases. In essence, not only does CWM 9 provide recovery but it also gives many users Android 4.0 or ICS even though ICS has not been ported or released to their system yet.

The bottom line: be careful what you wish for or flash because a bricked phone is no fun.
[Android General] tony456:
I shared the same with you that # a bricked phone is no fun #.

That is the reason why I am still sticked to my 4 June ROM which came with my i 9220 bought 2 weeks ago. As all the functions are working fine, I wont take the risk of flashing a ROM which I do not know what the outcome would be.
[Android General] ronbo76:
CWM 9 as a recovery option?

Don't get me wrong though. It is exciting to read what CWM is doing with Release Candidate 9:

CyanogenMod 9 RC Brings Ice Cream Sandwich, Lots of Customization to Android

and what

RootzWiki's Forum for Jelly Bean

where Android 4.1 is now available.

It would be nice to get CWM 9 as a recovery option for our phones.
[Android General] st0ned0ne:
yesterday I flashed my haipai from its stock may rom to the latest from june 19th.

I used the 2.5G update from mobileuncle first but discovered that I was left with a chinese only OS. I Then flashed angelobiz' update v2 and now everything is top nodge. Bluetooth is working. Wifi doesn't drop out. GPS will only work if I allow the phone to use other services besides GPS. It will only pick up my location when using WIFI as a pinpoint as well. Anyone who has the same experience? Not much of a gps feature but more like trace routing... a poor mans gps I'd call this :P

Besides the lack of real gps positioning that doesn't rely on other services, this update seems great. I wouldn't hesitate to upgrade. :cowboy:

I've attached a screenshot of my new sys info with kernel 3.0.13 from the 19th of june

http://peecee.dk/uploads/072012/i9220jun19rom.jpg
[Android General] ronbo76:
I'm on June 5 ROM. I think Angelobiz mentioned in one of his posts that his update works best with that ROM as it was specifically built for it. Everything works well with the exception of the internal SD partition but that is solved by the partition fix on the first post.

On that note, I kind of wish that the Haipais had been built with an 8 or 16 GB SD card. 8GB would have added less than five bucks to the price of the phone. I think the whole partition issue is a matter of a bad partition sizing by the manufacturer or how Android writes the partition and if it uses a swapfile to manage memory and physical storage on the internal SD card.
[Android General] tony456:
There is a new ROM released on 28/6/2012....with great improvement on the quality of the 5.2 inches display....
[Android General] st0ned0ne:
Thx tony, I don't see it yet on mobileuncle but I'll keep my eyes peeled and try it out ASAP, now that I've finally discovered how easy it is to flash a new rom to our haipai :)
[Android General] Kyrie1965:
Where is it? Prove it.

The latest official rom for Haipai i9220 from AGold is 20120612_e1809c_v75_lx528_a9550.
[Android General] st0ned0ne:
I'm running 20120619_e1809c_v75_lx528_sx and tony made us aware of the 0619 ROM so I have no reason not to trust his word. :)
[Android General] Kyrie1965:
I know about 20120619 - it is not official firmware from AGold. AGold never release it to a factories. And their no 20120619 firmware on official download server for factories.

The latest firmware for 1809c series from AGold is "20120626_e1809c_v75_qxh1" (it is not for Haipai).
[Android General] tony456:
The 28 June ROM has yet to be released officially. In the mean time it is only given to the buyers who bought i9220 from the shop named # jajatong # in Shenzhen PRC.
[Android General] st0ned0ne:
here is some info on what we can expect. I reckon its regarding the 0625 official rom then? Its gonna be exciting to see whats been added onto the possible 0628 update then :)

[Android General] Kyrie1965:
It just Jajatong custom chinese rom. Jajatong is just trading company.

0625 it is not official rom. An it is based on 20120612_e1809c_v75_lx528.

Haipai Noble i9220 from Huaqianbei

Hi Guys

I had just come back from the trip from Shenzhen( Huaqiangbei)and brought 6 set of Haipai Noble i9220 which stock s are still available in the local smaller mall and not in the modern computer centre.

Shenzhen is a whole Chinese world in which they don’t speak or read English language, hence for those who plan to go to source the stock in this world, please do more home works.

There are some trips for those who require, especially for angelobiz my friend

1. Translate all destinations to Chinese writing which you can show them for directions.

2. Metro lines are underground ( different to locate) take note of the line and station names

3. No Master or Visa credit card use, only in higher end hotel accepted and for shopping centre they accept China Bank, Chartered Bank, Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank with Pin number not signature.

4. Currency exchange rate are very low, I had lost 300 Yuan in the street and lost 200 Yuan in the bank exchange, as comparing to rate in my own country.

5. Please be very careful when you are carrying a lot of cash, it always very crowded ever during weekday. Operating hours 10:00am to 6:00pm and after they are doing their store packing and no trading.

6. Web Surfing are slow with limitation.

The 6 sets of Haipai Noble i9220 are consist of version below:

1. 3 units of Android 4.0.4

Baseband Version	: MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V14,2012/04/20 17:38

Kernel Version	: 3.0.13 Mon Jun4 14:03:49 CST2012

Builder Version	: ALPS.ICS.MP.V1.11

2. 3 units of Android 4.0.6

Baseband Version	: MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V14,2012/04/20 17:38

Kernel Version	: 3.0.13 Tue Jun19 14:19:11 CST 2012

Builder Version	: E1809C_V75_LX528_2012619

I had not followed this website for past 10days and outdated for over 20 pages, should someone advises me on flashing and rooting for Jun19 Android 4.0.6 Rom

Thank-you very much
[Android General] Kyrie1965:
Do not forget to say Google that you have Android v4.0.6. They still think they have Android v4.0.4 and Android v4.1.

Haipai i9200 catching on?

Back when I first started to look at buying a Haipai, the only place to get them was via a Chinese dropshipper with most agents being in China and a few in Italy, France and Germany. Now, less than three weeks later 12 Haipais are selling on eBay at a starting price of $160USD. I wonder how many units have been sold thus far?

BTW, I changed my avatar as a joke because the other day I saw a shirt advertised with those words. While out with friends on Saturday, I pulled out my phone and they were impressed by its size and that it was Android 4.04.

If customs was not a factor in the US of A, I would dropship these phones on eBay and offer to root them for $25USD extra.
[Android General] tony456:
Thanks for sharing with us your experience in Shenzhen.

Is it possible that a bad firmware can mess up the receiver and proximity sensor?
[Android General] ronbo76:
If you do a google search of proximity sensor, you will find several articles that suggest proximity sensors are NOT all they should be or perform 100 percent of all the fuctions they should.
[Android General] link1227:
Reason I ask, when I get or make a call, the screen goes blank, but when I did a edit of the sensor it worked, but the receiver didn't work. I had to put it on speakerphone to hear
[Android General] cloud4g:
Great suggestions... excellent quality suggestions and contributions.

I very much appreciate the quality of posts and contributions on this board... very worthwhile readings.

There are too many worthwhile posts to comment on them all... but a few notes:

I agree with the sentiment that it is often best to wait for modded ROMs to become more stable. Call me chicken, but I prefer to watch for feedback on recent ROMS. Thus far I have not upgraded beyond the stock 4.0.3 that it came with despite having problems of non-working compass/magnetic, very slow GPS, etc.

As much as Angelobiz work is to be applauded, I may wait for 4.1, a CWM version or for improvements to otherwise reach a stage where there is some leveling off in maturity of feature upgrades and performance.

Frankly, I had hoped these devices would have basic sensors working... that part of the manufacturing supply is sorry work... leaving it to the community to get users caught up basic problems that MTK should have made sure had gotten fixed before releasing chips/kits into volume production.

Oh well, the overall result is good bang for the buck.

If not for this and other high quality boards these half-baked devices might not be worthwhile.

Thanks all.

Flash on bottom of camera - different model?

@retrochubbs

You may wish to check with mixeshop about your order if you placed it. I was going to order a phone for a friend but they send me an email saying the flash was now below the camera. I am not sure but this might be a variant of the Haipai i9200 Noble. Tina is going to check for me if they can get the one I want as I want my friend to have the same model for flashing ROMs purposes.

Does anyone know for sure if the flash on the bottom is a different model?
[Android General] penguinchan:
I bought an i9220 TinJi , it is 99% the same as Haipai i9220 MTK. 6575 4Gb. I had flash the recovery and rom on HaiPai that is was success but it was not success on TinJi. How can I check that which recovery and rom is suit for my TinJi

Thanks for advise
[Android General] ronbo76:
Some of these problems are operator error or self-inflicted wounds due to the fact that there are at least five variants of the Haipai MT6575 in production.

If someone doesn't have same model as the Haipai i9200 Noble, flashing ROMs from this section could lead to fancy paperweights or a 21st century dry erase slate.
[Android General] HyperEscape:
Hello can anyone confirm this...especially question no # 2. I mean I just want to compare with a modestly priced Google Nexus S. I have one and have been running SmartTools (a great app, which possibly makes use of all these sensors). So apparently the Nexus S has all these sensors.

However if it is true about HaiPai Noble then I believe any of such apps would not work. Can someone already having a unit please double check and verify.

Would be a great help before making the decision to buy one of these.

Thanks.
[Android General] bthoven:
Using a number of sensor check apps, all confirm that the phone has only 3-axis accelerometer, light, and proximity sensors.

@retrochubbs

Refer to this web 3 photos from this Vendor

http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...one-5-3-Capacitive-Screen-3G-wholesalers.html

First set, you need more inform of the set

the bottom two are no no for Haipai Noble i9220 on the safer side

Please check the phone specification on display to be closest with my earlier posting.
[Android General] bthoven:
I try not to post Aliexpress seller that I and my friends bought from; however, I saw a lot of such postings. In order to provide an accurate source for buying the right Haipad Noble i9220, this is the site we bought from:

http://www.aliexpress.com/product-g...9220-Android-4-smart-phone-5-wholesalers.html

It may not be the cheapest source, but I post here as one choice from many sellers. What we got in the standard set are:

1. the phone

2. 2 batteries (labeled 2800Mah)

3. standard back cover

4. back cover with integrated front leather cover (embossed with Galaxy Note brand)

5. a screen protector (clear)

6. AC charger (white)

7. microusb cable (white)

8. English Manual (which I never have to read)

9. 3.5mm earphone (white)

10. a nice white box with Haipad Noble wording on it. The box cover should also show the included leather flap cover

11. a silver coated "SAMSUNG" sticker for you to paste on the back+front leather cover case (I don't paste it because it is not a real Samsung :)

If the moderator see it inappropriate, please delete this post.
[Android General] ronbo76:
Beware the variants. . .

Both of these phones are different from Alienexpress are different from what I would consider the "standard Haipai i9200 Noble". Funny thing is I almost bought from AE because a month ago they had the lowest prices.

bthoven's post has a different leather cover and one of the phone pictures was different which looks like the dropshipper "mixed and matched" pictures to come up with a photo display. About halfway down the page, the silver or white version is shown.

The title alone in glim59's post, which directly mentions N7000, is the first hint that this phone is a another variant. Then the pictures show at least four discernable variants: different camera in one, wider/fatter body in another; different camera in another; USB connector on the side versus being on the bottom; and, the white version.

The bottom line: each reader/user must determine as best they can which variant of the Haipai they own. IF you DON'T own the same version as angelobiz, you probably should NOT flash the ROMs in this section as you have a variant and could brick or make inoperable your phone.

I have added a picture of what my Haipai looks like. Please note that it is rooted and has the June 5 ROM with the angelobiz update applied.
[Android General] bthoven:
Just see the link from my post above:)

Don't rule out FastCardTech because it is a trusted seller; and your link is the right Haipad Noble. You may try to check out the phone and see the total price before you decide to make a payment.

I like Aliexpress because it is easier to know the total price including shipping. I usually chat with the seller before deciding to buy. You can see many buyers left their positive comments on the seller I recommend; and it comes with complete accessories. The price may not be lowest.

It's up to you to decide. Both sellers are fine.
[Android General] glim59:
The prices for the 2 sets are 1100 yuan and 1300 yuan.

As for which ROM runs more smoothly? I'm sorry this is my first Android Phone and also handicap with the phone function.

GPS primer updated - set up with GPS Test from Google Play

@bbsk2 Take a look at this past post of mine on GPS Test. When I use this app to turn on my GPS, I usually get a lock within 60 seconds or less. In addition, my Haipai sees about 10 satellites on the average. On the day I took this screenshot, it had 12 in view with 8 in use (shaking the phone to create the screenshot caused one each to be lost). The accuracy is usually 25 feet or less.

With my previous GPS's and using similar apps, I NEVER saw on the average more than 7 satellites and usually had 4 locked on which is one above the need for 3D satnav.
