Can anyone confirm the actual bands of the Haipad i9220? Different vendors are stating different things. I am specifically interested if this will work with Rogers, network details below. I know it will work 2g, but I am more interested in 3g/HSPA:

GSM

The company's 2G GSM network with EDGE serves 95% of the Canadian population.[4] It provides compatibility for GSM-based devices, including those frequently used by international travelers. However, this technology is limited to speeds of 120 kilobits per second, which is only twice the speed of dial-up. The 120kbit/s only applies to handsets that are 3G capable, full 236.8kbit/s is offered to GSM/EDGE only devices.[5]

[edit]HSPA+

In addition to its 2G network, Rogers also operates a pre-4G HSPA+ network. This was an upgrade to the older HSPA infrastructure, which was previously the only such network in Canada. This was no longer the case when Telus and Bell created two separate HSPA+ networks, with some roaming agreements between the two. Just as Rogers continues to maintain their older GSM network, Bell and Telus still support their respective CDMA networks. This is a different technology which is losing worldwide popularity, as it offers less roaming possibilities.[6]

In the summer of 2009, the network was upgraded to HSPA+ technology. Enhancements include download speeds of up to a theoretical 21.6 Mbit/s.[6]

This network operates on the frequencies of 850/1900 MHz.[7] Although Bell and Telus operate HSPA+ networks separate from Rogers, they transmit using the same frequencies.

[Android General] angelobiz:
who says that they have a low wireless signal, please they refer us what version firmware they have: kernel with date 26 april or kernel with date 07 May

i have upgraded to kernel 7 May, wireless signal is more good, i have signal in the second floor of my house...

but with this firmware front camera is dead.

Hi, you can download root files from page 1, after that unzip it and run "TPSparkyRoot" file with your phone connected in Debug mode, which can be found in Development of the phone's setting. Fighting :D
[Android General] richardkemp:
On the poor WiFi signal note: I was using my bluetooth headphones today and noticed they were getting really bad signal as well, with the phone in my jacket pocket and the headphones on it would cut out sometimes, like if I turned my head to look behind me. Same headphones with HTC Desire were fine with the same use situation. WiFi and bluetooth are very often on the same chip in the phone, so it could either be that that chip is underpowered/poorly programmed, or just that they both have badly placed or undersized antennae. This is with the 7 May kernel, WiFi is still bad. It might be slightly better as I can sometimes hold a connection from my room now, else it could just be that I'm learning which spot gets the signal ;-) Either way it's still not 'good'.

Another thing I noticed is that for some reason both the original firmware and the newer one come with the old quick search box, not the new ICS one, which is a bit odd. I'm guessing why this is they come with two quick search widgets: one is the ugly one from the outdated quicksearch app and one is a themed one they presumably just got off the market and stuffed into the ROM to make it look on screenshots like they had the real quicksearch. I'm confused why this is since it should be open-source and therefore freely available and easily built. I replaced it with this one (you will need root to do this, can't just install it normally) but be warned that one is transparent... quite a nice effect but you might find results hard to read depending on your wallpaper.

To whoever asked: I would rate the phone overall a 6/10. I personally really like it as all I really wanted was a big screen (so for me *personally* it's a 7.5), but it does have many faults, both temporary and permanent. Biggest of these are poor WiFi/Bluetooth and the current necessity to choose between working Play Store or working front camera. One nice advantage of it though is how easy it is to get root/recovery.

Does anyone who can read the discussion on the Russian boards know if they have found any source code for e.g. the kernel or the recovery yet?

HELP!

I have a rooted Haipai noble. I tried to edit my vold.fstab file and now I can't edit it back, my phone won't recognize the SD card at all. I tried Ghost Command, Root browser, and Root Explorer. I need someone to post the correct fstab file for this phone. Someone please help!
[Android General] joshting:
I googled "ICS wifi problem" and it seems wifi problem is common across various well-known Android phone models after upgrade to ICS. Could it be ICS issue rather than hardware issue? Maybe someone can get gingerbread on it and verify this. I don't mind gingerbread, especially a stable MIUI rom :D

Found this in the forum. Can someone who already have haipai i9220 try it and feedback to the rest whether it fix the wifi problem? Thanks.

[Android General] Paul in Maryland:
only 512GB RAM

In this Chinese-language forum thread, (Google-translated into English) the Note5 F6's designer/developer appears to be apologetically saying that he was misled and that neither his 6-inch phone nor anyone's can have more than 512MB of RAM. He's even offering to refund part of the purchase price to everyone who already ordered their Note5 F6.
[Android General] ronbo76:
Driver incompatibility with Vista - DO THIS TO INSTALL

First, let me say "I hate Vista". Okay, went to my friend's house today so we could install his Haipai on his computer. He has Vista. When the phone was hooked up without the battery, Vista found an unrecognized device and tried to install it but failed. Then, pop-up window after one another would appear.

Try as I might, I could not click through the three prime pop-up windows to manually install a driver, install without a disk and locate the driver directory as basically the system only allowed about five seconds to click through those pop-up windows before it recycled back to the first window to locate the MT65xx Preloader driver.

This is how I beat Vista (and lived to tell). The following might apply to Windows 7:

1. Turn off your phone (make sure USB debugging is clicked in the Settings menu).

2. Remove the battery

3. Attach the USB cable to the phone and plug it into the Vista computer.

4. Be prepared to see pop-up window after pop-up window along with the stupid dong noise - in other words, BE PATIENT.

5. Ignore the pop-ups and click the Vista Start Button (you must be logged in as the Administrator).

6. Go to Setting and open the Control Panel.

7. Double click the Device Manager icon to open it.

8. You might have to fight through the windows but I eventually just focused on locating the MT65xx Preloader unknown device in the Device Manager window.

9. Right click on the unknown device (MT65xx with question mark).

10. Ask Vista to manually find and install the adb driver.

11. Browse to the directory where you placed the 7z adb drivers (recommend called C:\MT6575).

12. Wait for Vista to install the drivers manually after you click ok.

13. If a pop-up window asks if you want to install these drivers, click ok.

14. It will take about three minutes for Vista to fully install those drivers - BE PATIENT.

15. Use run command to browse to the directory with the MTK6575 drivers which are the RAR file of MT65x3 USB VCOM drivers (recommend call C:\Android USB drivers).

16. Double click InstallDriver.exe to install the MT65x3 drivers.

17. Remove your phone and reboot the computer.

Your phone should now be ready for rooting or flashing.

@Tony - The bolded numbers are XP only steps. It doesn't get any easier than that. If you go back to last week's messages where the drivers are attached, you can download them again if necessary. Where a step says "Vista" that means XP for you. Then, do a search in this thread for "XPFlash" to follow the rooting and flash procedures.
[Android General] tony456:
thanks ronbo again for reminding me that my haipai has yet to be rooted....:p
[Android General] ronbo76:
Next week I am going to try some CWM recovery tricks. I think I know an easy way to "flash a ROM" after somebody gets a successful install.

You really need CWM Recovery.

Set frequency AWS 1700

Hi. this phone is supposed to have the AWS 1700 capability but I can't see where to find it in this rom. Anyone know how to set it? I bought from Fastcardtech .com and they showed this screen in the write up but I can find now and I am not sure if it is because I flashed.
[Android General] st0ned0ne:
if im not mistaken they actually took that photo from this topic here on xdadev. I think zbeyuz took that photo. From the photo it doesn't look like the phone supports AWS1700 and unfortunately its not safe to trust the product write up from many of these onlinedealers.

Are you sure it supports dual SIM? I can not find anything on their website that says something about it:
[Android General] ronbo76:
Reason not to buy any new Haipais until 1080p and Jelly Bean included

HTC will sell 5" 1080p phones in October along with several other sellers according to this article:

HTC to launch 5-inch smartphone in September-October, say sources

Until you can buy a Haipai with 1080p and Jelly Bean, the newer model Haipais are non-competitive.
[Android General] HarryTheSatman:
SMS apps using dual SIM module

Bump ... :)

Still looking for information.... Trying to figure out how this is done. How do you (the ones making custom ROMs) make the dialer and SMS function to work? Are you re-using the stock app, or do you create f.ex. a custom SMS app, working on dual SIM.

In another thread on this forum, a likewise question was asked : HTC Dream: G1 > G1 Android Development > dual sim development (http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-475533.html).

As far as I understand it, it has something to do with the STK. (Sim Tool Kit application) (http://www.kandroid.org/online-pdk/guide/stk.html), ot at the very least with the Android SDK, that STILL NOT supports Dual SIM. In my app list, I see Sim Toolkit. When I launch the app, my 2 phonenumbers are listed. When I choose one of the numbers, a message shows: "Application is not installed on your phone". Confusing....

Anybody?

Shutrotate.zip purpose

Does anyone know what the Shutrotate.zip file in the System/Media directory does? I copied my friend's bootanimation.zip and am going to replace it later today so I will have the Samsung start-up screen.
[Android General] ronbo76:
My new bootanimation screen - it's special

Thought I had done everything correctly but somehow I am not getting all the bootscreens my friend has. If I remember correctly, his June 19 ROM starts with the Samsung Galaxy Note screen followed by a centered traditional Samsung logo and boots down with a different traditional Samsung logo.

I copied over the boot_logo, bootanimation, shutanimation, shutrotate and two .emd files over to my Haipai. Now, it boots with the flying Android Robot followed by the Samsung Galaxy Note screen followed by a generic Android word centered and boots down with a blank screen. It's okay and I kind of consider it a "custom bootanimation" but I like the June 19 ROM's stuff. I will have to work on that later.

BTW, if you go to the phone's internal System/Media folders with FileExpert, you will find some MP4 files with the Android Robot flying in space (looks like he's standing on rocket wing) and two sunset movies. I wonder what those files are for?

This is an excellent thread! I've been looking for a phone similar to this to root and use as a phone, tether and gps device with StraightTalk. I've have about 10 different shopping carts open right now with all different variations of this phone but am unsure which one I should go with. Is there a more popular or recommended variant or website to get this model from?

Thanks!

Haha! I just realized I've been lurking for almost 4 years now and this is the first post I've made.
[Android General] robarnold:
Hi,

Had mine a couple of months and its great - run faultlessly. I cant speak for any of the variants which seem to have assorted roms and specifications but I bought 2 and more recently the 6" MTK6577 version and been impressed by quality and service. Like you I'd also been lurking for ages before making my first post here so cant post links yet but this should do the job:

fastcardtech.com/goods-7421-HDC-Galaxy-Note-i9220-MTK6577-Dual-core-Android-409-Dual-sim-standby-53-inch-80M-camera.html

If you check out my earlier posts you should see other comments I have posted and some screen prints.

[Android General] rs2k:
Thanks for the info!

Did you put custom roms onto your 6" MTK6577? IF so, which ones? What about the 5.3 inch version?

The 6" MTK6577 is big enough and has enough RAM that it may work well for me. I was planning on getting a netbook and an e-reader/tablet. This phone would fulfil both of those needs. I wonder if I can connect a computer monitor and keyboard to it. :D
[Android General] robarnold:
Hi,

Rooted but no custom rom (don't see much point in custom roms since the original does everything I want and as long as the device is rooted you can always tweek anything which doesn't quite suite) I may put on Jelly Bean once it becomes available if there are any benefits. I have used a Bluetooth keypad which works OK so I guess a full size Bluetooth keyboard would also be OK But remember that as with all Android devices not all makes of external device work equally well. There is no port (only micro USB) which will accept a standard monitor but you can stream successfully via DLNA or with a bit of effort export via USB to HDMI on a TV. These work on both the models we are talking about.

I should perhaps mention that I'm a professional IT tech so I'm no too phased if things don't work first time.

Cheers

android.hardware.usb - Developmental USB protocols

Today while reading this subscribed Developing Android PTP Library for use with Cameras xda thread, I was excited to read about the key term, android.hardware.usb.

A lot of this is above my head but in essence, Android 3.1 and above allow USB devices to be accessed by our phones using the following developer Android reference links:

android.hardware.usb

USB Host and Accessory

In theory, someone smarter than me could run with this knowledge and develop USB apks that could enable our phones to communicate with via other USB devices to HDMIs, HDTVs, etc.
[Android General] rs2k:
Whelp, I've made my mind up. I'm definitely going to get one of these and try it out on StraightTalk in the US.

I now just have to decide which version to get. The 6 inch one is a bit high for my current price range, but considering it can possibly replace an e-reader and net book for business management it seams like a heck of a deal. I need to look into the possibility of attaching a monitor and KB to it.

5 Aug ROM

Has anyone heard anything about an ICS 4.04 5 Aug ROM from unclemobile?
[Android General] tony456:
Mobileuncle inspected.

The 'rom' is submitted by anybody , I reckon it is just a practical joke :

No full details of the 'rom' and no comments/endorsement by the moderator of the forum.

The link to download is DEAD.

Lets wait patiently for the Jelly Bean.

Cheers
[Android General] ronbo76:
Thanks, there is a 5 Aug ROM thread there but the translated page did not make any sense. However, I noticed today in the xda i9200 Star thread that they have a link for the 5 Aug ROM.
[Android General] StoneTheKiwis:
Could you expand on that a little please? Is it a standard HID keypad? The reason I ask is that I can't get any of my keyboards, whether HID or SPP, to work on the Haipai i9220 with the MTK6575 chipset. They will pair but then fail to connect. I have asked numerous sellers on Aliexpress if they could tell me of keyboards working with various phones, but the only one who had the decency to respond implied that the MTK6575 chipset was at fault and bluetooth keyboards would simply not work. I have seen other comments about Chinese bluetooth chips being deficient and protocols not being implementd. So if the MTK6577 chipset works then this is worth knowing. Have you had the opportunity to try a keyboard as well?

Cheers
[Android General] robarnold:
Hi,

The one I have is a mini keyboard with built-in touch-pad and is labelled as being BT mini keypad manufactured by Xenta and I bought it in a mobile phone shop where they were good enough to let me try several before I found one that would work.I think this is designed with gamers in mind because it has several extra button which I have never explored. A quick Google has so far only shown me one which although it looks similar is actually described as wireless rather than Bluetooth so I guess there are 2 versions. Iv'e had mine over a year now and so far it has worked on every device on which I have tried it

Have you tried the app bluekeyboard jp? works well and there is a good video on YouTube on how to set it up - It's on youtube.com/watch?v=Aj9qC3oKcZU When working on clients devices I usually manage to persuade most Bluetooth keyboards to play eventually using this.

I'd suggest installing it on your phone and giving it a try - if it doesn't work with your own keyboards try the visit to a friendly keyboard shop. Once you have got it all up and running buy the "pro" version of the app to get rid of the very annoying ads though.

I haven't tried a standard keyboard yet but I I get some spare time I'll give it a go and let you know how I get on.

When dealing with Chinese on-line sellers remember that most are just that and often they have never even seen the physical goods they are selling. Only rarely do they have any technical ability. This is why forums such as this exist. Most of the factories do have great technical staff but lines have a short life and they quickly move on to the next new product.

Cheers

Xenta Bluetooth Keyboard

Like this one on eBayUK:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Xenta-Wireless-Bluetooth-Keyboard-for-IPad-IPhone-PC-60-Day-Warranty-/120964242816

I'm the high bidder and I don't like to lose!;)
[Android General] StoneTheKiwis:
I tried various other apps: Keypro, Blueinput, Easyconnect, but that one is not visible on the market. So I've sideloaded it and tried it on my different keyboards: ThinkOutside foldable (very compact but with almost full size keys), Geyes (a Chinese clone of the old Palm keyboard, keys are full size with scissor action and perfectly weighted for touch typing. Folds to about the size of our phone. Highly recommend this one), and a Keysonic mini keyboard from Germany. Alas, they still don't work. They do all work though on my Galaxy S and Chinese tablet (no name, Rockchip2918, android 4.0.3).

I've bought a fair bit of other stuff off Aliexpress, solar panels etc, and always found those sellers to be responsive and reasonably clued-up. It seems to be just the phone sellers who are down at ebay level. And when your pre-sales enquiry is something like: "I need a phone that I can be certain will do xyz. Which phone from your range do you recommend I buy?" and they don't reply at all, then they just get dropped off the short list. That list is now becoming vanishingly short ...

Cheers
[Android General] StoneTheKiwis:
I would like to know how that works with the MTK6575 chipset in your phone, compared to the new chipset in Rob's phone. If you poke around in the bluetooth stack you'll find that it's a bit odd. init.rc contains a whole section added by MTK including stuff for bluetooth that doesn't exist on the phone, so I need to find some time to dig into this properly.

But if this keyboard fails with your MTK6576 but works with Rob's MTK6577 then the way forward is clear enough.

Cheers
[Android General] robarnold:
It's not this one. but at 99p its worth a go.

Mine includes a laptop type touch-pad ( which doesn't work on android) on the side - it's not on the xenta-tech.com site but is similar to the 22281 with the addition of the touch-pad.

[Android General] StoneTheKiwis:
Ah, that's a very useful data point. I have just fished out my old 'Mofi' keyboard which looks identical to the photo of the 233152 at xenta-tech. Picked my phone up and bluetooth died - won't turn on again. Grrrr. I may have to reflash this 19June rom if it stays broken. I did try this Mofi, the Keysonic and the Thinkoutside keyboards when it had the 4 June rom though.

Are you using bluekeyboard jp to make the Xenta work, or does it work using the stock bluetooth?

Cheers
