I had this issue on several phones and networks. It would come and go. Try this: download Skype. Get another android user on your network to download Skype (do all the setup stuff you need to). Each of you get on a good wifi network then make a voice call. Then call the same person as a normal cellphone call. If the noise goes away on Skype but remains on cell network then I would say it's the network (or the phones antenna but only if it's consistently doing this in every area); then I would address it with them. I haven't had the issue since all the new towers went up in my area.

Oh and one more thing, try removing any case you've added; or putting your hand in a different spot....you know in case your actually a terminator that isn't aware your bones were replaced with meta.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waflo:
Hi there,

Stock ROM (LRK) with Notecore V14 kernel. Barclays mobile banking aplication does not work on rooted phones so I want to unroot it.

Used the batch script from THIS POST to unroot it, works as it should but my phone is still rooted.

Flashed stock LRK kernel but still this same, root remain and not able to use banking app.

How can I properly unroot my Note to have this app working again?

Is there any other way than flashing LRK rom again to bring my note back to stock condition?

cheers

Hi All,

Been seeing a lot of china phones running the MTK6577 + SGX531 and was wondering if anyone had any real performance figures on any of these devices, particularly those with screen resolutions greater than 800x480.

There are a lot of knock-off phones running this however there are some china-branded phones sporting them as well.

Ive seen some threads surrounding haipai devices that are running this SoC, however they only seem to have 512MB RAM and WVGA screens (albeit the screens are quite large physically).

I was wondering if there were any phones running MTK6577 with 1GB RAM and a 960x540 or better yet a 1280x720 screen?

I understand that they are cheap and would like to know if they represent 'bang-for-buck' at all?

I have the Haipai x710d MTK6577, And so far i love it, Rooted with a custom rom, Super fast and lots of features 2gb of usable space, With the custom rom it fixes the SD card problem so you are able to save all your data and app on it now. very speedy, great screen color yeah its not a super amoled or anything but it looks great to me, It depends on opinion about the screen resolution and the way it looks. Games play great. Battery life is awesome. Camera is awesome. ICS 4.0.9, For me and this is my first second Chinese phone, And so far i love it. recommend to anyone.

Just got my Amoi n820, trying to figure out how to root it.

[General Questions and Answers] tr1p1ea:
It appears that there is an S3 knock-off that has a 1GB RAM and a 1280x720 screen which is pretty decent.

I have also found a "Hero H9500+" which is essentially a Zopo ZP900 but with only 512MB RAM and a 5.0MP camera (8.0MP would be better but ahh well).

Still for less than $200 it has a 5.3" QHD 960x540 screen. Havent been able to find any video demonstrations of it however.

It would be awesome to have a 5"+ phone with 1GB RAM and a 1280x720 screen. I think we will see them soonish.

I understand that MediaTek are bringing out a quad-core (i think its MTK6585?) later this year which should see quad-core china phones boom. The GPU is supposed to be the SGX544 which is used in TI OMAP 4 amongst other things.

[General Questions and Answers] Jequan:
Be very careful. Many shops advertise 1,2 Ghz but they do send you a 1.0 Ghz phone. Afaik there is no 1.2 Ghz variant around.

I own one of the "1.2ghz" MTK 6577 and the fact that they have a sticker with "quadcore CPU" on it should tell you something about how the chinese advertise their products.

That being said i knew that i am buying a 1.0 GHZ dualcore phone and i am very happy with it. It's really fast and powerful enough to do some gaming if one likes to.

It's the Tinji I9300 S3 clone 4,7 inch. It's getting sold under all sorts of names aparrently.

- Good for basic taks: phone, message, email, browser, music, video (1080p capable), dictionary

- Good for 2D games: tested Zenonia 5, Plants vs Zombies, Epic Raider

- Not good for 3D games, maybe because of the 720p resolution. Tested: Dungeon Hunter 4, Six-Guns. The frame rate is low and can not play well.

Get the mtk6589 quad core its awesome. The 6577 is super slow but honestly its an ARM Cortex and they are way slower than qualcomm chips. My current htc first is awesome and its a dual core 1gb ram its so fast and running at 1.7ghz its awesome.

Go for an HTC because they r great devices and i owned a note 2 and it was sick 2ghz overclocked qualcomm quad core. A but overkill bc this dual core is insane.

The Hauwei ascendmate 6.1" is sick but idk usa htc phones r the very best especially 2013 models.
[General Questions and Answers] forsakentm:
some questions

I bought my first mtk6577 before few days.

It is named a55 by ambrane.for 79 dollars

Since this is an Indian company, i had no luck of finding anyone who made a custom rom or kernel with this device. I got my hands on its stock rom, is it possible to port it easily?

mtk6577 boasts smooth 1080p video playback but it is only able to play .avi files smoothly, other formats dont support hw at 1080p and using sw it slows down drastically. Is this due to fact that there are not good codecs made for it yet?
[General Questions and Answers] :
Porting is an insane PITA u gotta get linux to deal with android and u gotta start fresh like u need to learn linux inside and out. You gotta have the source kernel too for the device to deal with any modding. Just root the stock and be happy. Or bite the bullet and find a standard Samsung galaxy s2 or s3 which is way better just smaller screen. Gotta pay more, I have a $240 paper weight of an MTK6577 that lasted 3 months bro! Worst mistake I ever made I even told people to get them and they are all pissed. I'm pissed and thoroughly pissed at the company MTK for building a dual core that even gets stomped by the old as heck and slow Motorola Atrix Cortex A9 and nvidia chip even know the nvidia tegra 2 stomps the MTK6577. The MTK6589 is damn good and I would recommend it if u must, but support it horrible no devs working on these MTK devices so move on bro.

Have u tried HW+ on Mx player?

set min to 1ghz and max to 1ghz to boost video playback. Go into the build.prop and set the max dalvik to 400m from 128 or so stock. That will unleash performance. Also set the vm allocation block per app from whatever it is at to 64m or 128m for maximum performance per app which uses more ram per app but runs that app potentially 25% faster.

disable all animations in the os and use say nova launcher if i remember correctly it uses far less ram and unleashes additional performance out of the device.

the mtk6577 is lacking tremendously in performance. However if u have a fast quad core pc u can convert ur videos to the desired codec the mtk6577 likes... hmm i think it likes 720p .avi and 720p mp4 i think and that's about it really. It's a nightmare dealing with codecs. The phone is like 120% slower than my HTC First which has 1gb of ram and the 1.4ghz dual core qualcomm chip. Which is now running at 1.728ghz, this phone with it's micro battery built in can last several days on the battery. It also plays 720p flawlessly and easily over hardware codecs pretty much any format too no need to find the right format. So I recommend potentially getting a new phone with a qualcomm dual core with tons of support on here like an htc or samsung phone.

For roms for these MTK phones etc go to www.NEEDROM.com

GOOD LUCK

I must say: the 9300 Clone is not really much faster than the Neobox phone. They are both incredible fast! An iPhone 4GS or an SE Arc S feels slow and like glue against the MTK-Phones. I don't know why, becase the most of the China-phones only have around 500MB of RAM and only these 1GHz CPUs... but i thing it's the realy pure Android ICS, that makes thes phones so fast in comparison to other Android phones with bettet specs but their ****in user interfaces over it. :eek:

large screen.

con:

poor quality build / make, poor QC. ICS poorly port from google, bug, unstable, always need to reboot to resolve bug and hanging.

summary :

To use it as toys, giving it to kids to try and learn android will be good. It is also good for developer to play with, if you can get source code. means you can try to resolve all kind of faulty functions, keep you going, keep you busy etc, to get satisfaction out of resolving bug.

good luck.
