I have still not managed to adb into the phone but I have another one that works ......

Can I save the ROM from the working phone and put it on the non-working one, if so how ??
[General Questions and Answers] Androidspecialforces:
Let's just slow it down a little bit before we go to the point of no return.

Let's start by using Google to answer life's mysterious problems.

I did some surfing for you I found this.

First make sure it is for your exact phone then take it slow read it read it again and then give it a shot.

Following every step slowly just keep in mind your cell can be brought back from the dead but only if I do everything perfect.

My G3 sold

I just got rid of my JIAYU G3.

I am getting sceptical about all these Chinese phones stuff after trying one on my own, and a very popular one - JIAYU G3. Screen was really nice, with nice viewing angles, colors and black/white levels, but not much more than that.

1) MKV high profile was not playing at all, since HW acceleration was not working in MX and BS players. SW was able to handle it only up to certain bandwidth

2) GPS lock was taking minutes, after all fixes applied. Did not test much, it was sold right after

3) BT audio was a mess - tracks skipping or not playing at all. After I start driving, I have to pull over and mess with BT to reconnect, and then it still skips. BT calls were muddy but at least were not dropping

4) Camera - no HD recording. Really? On 8MP sensor? But wait, it seems that it's not 8MP, as photos looked strange, almost like extrapolated 5MP. Night shots better not be used at all

5) Flash - underpowered compared to my 2.5 years old iphone4. How much does it cost these days to solder one high power led?

6) Scrolling between screens works smoothly only if you don't have wallpaper with more than one color on it. Don't even try to put live wallpaper.

7) Battery - everyone talks about battery size. How about battery life? It's much more important (and more difficult) to have LOW BATTERY CONSUMPTION, then to stuff huge battery that takes 8 hours to charge. This one had one of the biggest batteries out there, and was holding up like my 2.5 year old iphone 4. Charging was painfully long and erratic - it would sometimes charge to 93% and stop, then you take battery in/ out and level is suddenly at 75%? Or, it runs down to 7%, then you reboot and level is suddenly at 25%? What a mess.

7) Typing SMS or any typing at all - I cannot type really fast on a soft keyboard, but I was still too fast for this dual core setup. It was dropping out every 5th char roughly. I had a Samsung Google Nexus before, so I am not even comparing to iPhone any more.

Was I unlucky with my first chinese phone? I don't know, it seems there are plenty of people who are happy with other 6577 models. I will know more after I get my Freelander I20, but that's for another thread.
[General Questions and Answers] jago25_98:
Well said. My x710d also had problems but not really as much as this. Battery was about OK I thought in that case. Crap night shots too. H/W accel I don't remember as having problems. GPS as good for me once I fixed it... but that EPO server thing was rubbish and unreliable.

In all... it works... a basic phone with no flashy stuff. I didn't think anything was unacceptable for me, just no slickness. I'd buy the phone again for other purposes... just not as a main phone. Useful for a kids phone. Useful as a backup.

Guys, spend 50 eur more and get yourselves a descent hardware like Exynos 4412 Quad Core in Newman N2 or the like. It has two generations higher GPU, and you really feel the difference. GPS locks in seconds, and screens and games simply fly. There are issues like in most of the Chinese phones, but they are coming around.

I sold my JIAYU G3 after couple of days. It could not even scroll between screens without stuttering, let alone play 720p.

N2 is singleSIM. What's the point of a Chinese phone if it's not dualSIM?
[General Questions and Answers] Fallingwater:
Someone over at Reddit just posted this. Apparently it's as close to a 1:1 copy of an actual S3 as you can get, including the 1GB of RAM but less the quadcore processor.

Does anyone know anything about it? It's tempting me, but $200 seems a bit much to pay for a knockoff. Still, I might get it - if someone can tell me it won't fall apart in my hands, and if a decent ROM can be loaded on it.
[General Questions and Answers] Whyzor:
I'm personally waiting for the newer, faster, & more power efficient quad-core MT6589 phones to come out, ThL W8 is one of them already out, along with a few others (Jiayu G4/G5 or Umi X2). They will be about the same price or slightly more but capable of much more. Most of the Chinese phones don't have the highest material cost, but the insides are standard reference designs, without the markup of a big name and marketing behind them.
[General Questions and Answers] Fallingwater:
Yeah, figured I'd wait for a quadcore myself, hopefully with 2 gigs of RAM.
[General Questions and Answers] dbout:
Hi. I have the same phone and I totally agree for the build quality and the specs. Comparing to other dual SIM devices like Samsung S Duos and HTC 328w the performance is much better.

However I' m facing some compatibility problems with applications that work normally to others (Skype & Viber :the other part cannot hear me, Navigon cannot be installed and also with some banking apps).

I 'm on stock ROM (v.25) and rooted..

Do you have any problems like above?
[General Questions and Answers] zdravke:
Not quite the end of the list: ...without: unlocked bootloader, kernel source and any hope for stable and reasonably bugfree firmware in the lifetime of the phone. If you start adding up hw that is in Nexus 4, you end up with same or more amount of bucks - check Xiaomi M2 for example. Big names have something to protect, nonames are likely to be hit-the-specs-and-run business.

I have now both Nexus 4 and Newman N2, and I am not sure that 70 eur difference compensates for all the bugs that come with N2. I don't like non-expandable storage on gnex, but there is so much more to dislike on N2. Some of the stuff might get fixed in the future, but most of them will probably stay there forever.

Chinese phones are not to be underestimated for many other reasons - they are most of the time cheaper than their brand counterparts.

Mtk6577 Gaming

Mtk6577 phones perform surprisingly well under the pressure of hardcore games. If only we could get a custom rom preferably jelly bean with an overclock-able kernel because it fells like the chip can handle a higher clock than 1ghz dual core!!!

SEARCH(GOOGLE): 'Mtk6577 Gaming Rig' for compatible games, gameplay videos etc...
[General Questions and Answers] zdravke:
Surely you have not seen nova 3 on mtk6577, or maybe you consider angry birds as hard core? It's sgx531 gpu, one generation below the one in Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which is itself 2 years old. HD screen paired with sgx531 does not even scroll smoothly between desktops.
[General Questions and Answers] mtk6577:
Yup ive seen it its on YouTube doesn't run smooth though, and yes you are right its old and not the best GPU but you would be surprised as to what a little overclocking would do for example; my friend overclocked his Motorola defy (OLD SCHOOL) to 1ghz and it can run modern combat 3. With brands you get a lot more support im hoping support grows.
[General Questions and Answers] jhusly:
LOL! Theres ton of chinese mobile and clones out there with varying specs of course. Now if you're getting one, you know for sure that the specs would not be comparable to the real deal like of those S3 clones. But as per my experience, you would not be able to get the performance of this phones out of branded ones at the same price range.

With gaming, as long as you keep away from HD screens you would be able to play decent 3D games and even NOVA 3. BTW, there are also chinese knock-off thats sport with Mali400 and quad-core mtk (mtk-6588 / mtk6589) has been around for quite now. Think how would this combination would perform for a price 3folds less that the real one.

They're still all Cyanogenmod non compatible right and therefore not future proof?
[General Questions and Answers] Whyzor:
Speaking as a former developer, Cyanogenmod doesn't mean it's future-proof either. Lots of the after-market mods are unstable and personal tweaks, not as well tested as factory images. Android is a mature OS nowadays that I don't mind staying on one OS version until a new phone, which comes pretty cheap with these MTK6577 & MTK6589 chips. This is for most people who just want their phones to work, not have the latest customized ROMs to play with.
[General Questions and Answers] jago25_98:
I seem to be a bit different to most CM users who are looking to customise thier phone. For me it's a lot more than that:

- I get a relatively consistent experience when I change phones

- I get more functionality. I use the 2G auto switching, sunlight readable setting and loads of other stuff regularly

- It opens fair competition. By reducing the element of software as a variable the choice of phone can come down more to hardware and the choices become much easier. This is already so with Android in general (that's why the possibility of Chinese phones even exists), but CM makes this even more so

- I don't feel alone. There are other people to talk to, even if your phone is old

^ there are other reasons but these are big ones for me. I don't know why other users are interested in silly customisations and crud. I just use a black background!

It's for these reasons that I had a i9000 as recent as last year and I just switched to a i9100 recently specifically to run a well supported version of CM10. Unfortunately I've broken the screen on my SGS II and I'm loathed to go out and buy another one exactly the same! Actually there is 2 things I don't like about this phone - can't see the screen in the sun and the screen is too big.

I've seen threads from people who've somehow managed to brick their chinese phone and had to throw it away. That seems like madness to me. With mine I know that if somehow I managed to break it all I'd have to do was find a spare computer to use, maybe a USB jig and I or repair tech shop can fix it. I can't send an iphone back for free repair when travelling for work.

These Chinese phones maybe "cheap". But the quad mtk6789 chips with (OK?) GPS are ~$200. That's not quite cheap enough to me... not without CM9+ support - better to go dual rather than quadcore for the same price and get a i9100 SGS II that can do take a realtime GPS update monitoring hack and everything else besides.

However, there are ported and rooted ROMs for Chinese phones... it just doesn't go as far as Cyanogenmod... yet. If that happens the Chinese phones could wipe the floor with sales.

btw,

[General Questions and Answers] :
My Star N9588 I bought on ebay from the USA and it took about 3 days to arrive. It's an amazing phone bigger lcd than Note 2 Same AMOLED 1280x720, obviously dual core less space, but the 3600mah battery kills the Note 2's 3100mah battery. So I have damn near the same experience but better in what matters being better battery life, big screen in hd 1280x720 and it's 5.7"! I paid $245 shipped. Now i should have just bought the STAR S7589 1.2Ghz Quad Core with a 3200mah battery same 5.7" AMOLED 1280x720 LCD and the STAR S7589 comes with the STYLUS! That's why the battery can't be 3600mah. The STAR S7589 Quad Core was $305 shipped 3-days flat in the USA and it's very nice since the quad core performance is amazing. :)

I'm using the AT&T Wal-Mart Straight Talk SIM with Unlimited Everything on 3g so I get about 1MB/s download and kill it, I could push 20GB a month on data if I wanted. Still paying what I pay is $35 a month...

You can boost the camera to 12MP in build.prop = Resolution of 4000x3000 which looks good.

In regards to 1080p decoding I figured what it likes and what it hates. Okay it hate .mp4 so don't expect anything from .mp4 from this phone. However it seems to love 1080p hardware decoding of .avi MPEG4 Layer 2 is all that I know of so that's good to know. 1080p plays back at very high bitrates in hardware using MX Video Player without any lag once it gets cached up and buffered after 10 seconds or so. 720p is a different story since usually it will work on most formats including .mkv but not .mp4 but I haven't done that much testing. It only likes .avi in 1080p for hardware and it decoded .mkv 720p without an issue in hardware decode as well.

To get the battery life dialed in discharge to 0% and let it die, then charge to 100% without stop. Do this about 4 times to get the chemicals exercised in the battery. Then you will find battery life to be unreal! I get about 3 days of solid use out of my STAR N9588 (3600mah battery). It'll last weeks if in standby. Prior to Exercising the battery, The BATTERY LIFE WAS TERRIBLE...

Just gotta make sure u get the right rom on NEEDROM.COM that has a dialed in kernel as some of the files are busted in terms of battery life where its locked at 1Ghz continuous and never goes to Deep Sleep mode.

To improve performance I sometimes set the IO mode to NOOP and it increases IO performance.

After messing around with it a lot the MTK6577 is pretty great being stock at 1Ghz. I'm pretty impressed but I'll probably upgrade to the MTK6599 this year Probably being 6" 1920x1080 Retina with the OCTA-Core (8 Core Processor)!!!

Having paid ~180$ for a B92M mtk6577 the GPS doesn't work unless you cut and solder a new antenna and I have to charge it every day. Buy these are minor problems compared to the ~500$ that I saved.

On the other hand I was very disappointed with the first one I bought. The ulefone V12 was

1. Faulty (would reboot all the time when not charging)

2. They send me the single core version rather than the dual core they advertised.

They gave me a refund after exchanging many many many emails and bought the b92m. So it might be hit and miss.
[General Questions and Answers] JankyLV:
If you are thinking of buying MTK6577 phone, may I suggest going for MTK6589 - quad core?

I bought mine for $165 - quad core, 1gb ram, 480x854.

Rooted, flashed gapps, fixed gps (a-gps & epo) and now it's working almost perfectly.

For the price I could not ask for more. I can play all the latest games, and AnTuTu score is 13000+ (my Nexus 7 scores lower).

Downsides - poor quality screen, and loses signal sometimes.

To sum it up - major upgrade from my previous phone (Samsung Galaxy S) which usually scored around 3-4k in AnTuTu.

That's cool yeah should have bought the STAR S7589 being quad core 1.2Ghz with a supposed 5.8" 1280x720 AMOLED Gorgeous LCD!

Works pretty good and clearly better than the Dual Core in my STAR N9588 but I compared the S7589 to my N9588 and the 5.8" is not true it's exactly the same size at 5.7".

LOL Awesome lucky you running a quad core! I should have paid the extra $60 to go for the quad core. I paid $245 shipped via ebay from the usa took 3 days and the S7589 is $305 shipped.... And the S7589 has a Stylus!

If your gonna buy a MTK6589 I would wait for the Ultra OCTA Core 8 Core monster coming out soon called the MTK6599 being a OCTA Core 8 Core with a 1920x1080 6" RETINA IPS LCD but Heck might be a AMOLED which is still awesome... Not sure on how much but I'll pay less the $400 for it maybe close to $300 and I'm Down for the OCTA Core!

HD 720p/1080p files is possible on the dual core mtk6577 only via the .AVI codec or Divx/ Xvid and it looks amazing!
