i hope it is possible to add a feature in camera app settings that can make the volume button as shutter button. sometimes, for self-taking photo, its hard to locate the on-screen button. ._. foreveralone here.

ps; in play store, there is an app called CAMERA ICS, it has this feature, but the app is not fully featured like camera app pre-installed
[ZTE Grand X V970] longo213:
Try Camera 360 app, I'm using it as a default camera app for my phones.
[ZTE Grand X V970] rufaz:
thanks for the recommendation. installing. ^.^
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Correct, the second part of the tutorial is what should matter to you. The files are included because I found out that some MT6577 devices needed to be in the same folder as the files to be flashed.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Alefello:
Sorry, I didn't found that in changelog. Your rom has init.d support?

Thank you :)

Yes, I only mentioned that busybox is part of the ROMs, but in fact init.d support is also included.

Same here on "new" V970

I have somewhat the same problem.... I have to TAP the Icons on the bottom of the screen. . . the bezel. . .Menu, Home, Back, Help..... anywhere between 3 to 5 times before I get the Icon Light to show and than 3 to 5 more times to get a reaction on the Icon tapped. (I have video for proof, taken from a more reliable phone, the Alcatel Authority.)

After 4 different "smartphones," this on is the dumbest "smartphone" I have ever owned. I bought it from etotalk.com and they did not want me to get a refund for over 26 days, even tho I wanted to return from the first day I receive this "thing."

The "before sales" keep giving me links to ROMS to re-flash that were in Chinese, and besides NOT being able to change to English, the other ROMS just lowered the TAPPING to 2 to 3 times to get the Icon Bezel Light on to see the Icons and than 1 or 2 more taps to get it to go back, home or menu.

SO. . .

I really believe that it is a "hardware" issue than a soft or firmware problem and ZTE should pay the shipping back and give a full refund.

Can u explain in detail?

I try this nand rom but my zteu v970m still not work.

Can i download stock rom and recovery some where? I try zte website but helpless.

Now, my problem is:

1. I suscess in flash custom recovery cwm, my phone still use stock rom

2. I use reset to factory setting under setting section.

3. The phone restart and make a loop reboot with splash "ZTE" - Android robot with a shape rotate in his stomach - and splash ZTE - and robot... I cant do any thing except remove batery. CAnt go to cwm by volume up + power.

4. I try to flash your full stock rom via sp splash rom above. And now, my phone cant display anything, just a black display. I can still use SP splash tool to flash rom and stuff but, the point is: i dont have right nand rom to flash.

Can u help me with this?

Thanks!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
The reason why that doesn't work for you is that the full ROM is for V970, not for V970M (Indonesian version, at least). You need to grab the proper files for V970M from here. Simply overwrite them on the folder where you already extracted V970 ROM files. After that, reflash you phone and you're good to go. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] sevencd:
Thank u very much, I cant check it work or not cause I sent it to the customer care this morning.

After restore this can i use the same rom with v970? will it be brick again?

And, plz notice this in the first page: the difference between v970 and v970m, that help another dont be panic like me, ì they are in my case!... Thanks. I recent join so, cant read all your 196 page of this topic...
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Sure, I'll have to update the topic with that information.

By the way, are you Indonesian? If so, taking into consideration that you have left your phone at a service center and that they will probably reflash your phone with the latest official ROM, can you please check the version information? If it is a newer version I would be very glad if you could make a backup.
[ZTE Grand X V970] sevencd:
So pity, I'm in VietNam, and I took a look at the rom version last night, it similar to your stock rom, diffirence in CN and VN letter on the name.

I'll post after they fix it. About 7 days (cause I'm at a province, not at a big city).

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
So, was your stock ROM still based on Android 4.0? If that's the case nevermind... I was just thinking that you were from Indonesia and could get a newer Android 4.1 ROM, if available.
[ZTE Grand X V970] sevencd:
Uhm. Sorry, I cant help! It's 4.0.4 rom only.

I hear that, in china have rom 4.1, just dont know is it stock rom or not.

Gửi từ F8 của tôi bằng cách sử dụng Tapatalk 2
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
We already have Android 4.1 ROM (see first post), based on the stock ROM from ZTE V970M from Indonesia. The idea was to get a newer version, if available.
[ZTE Grand X V970] sevencd:
I got it, I saw the rom. But ... will flash it in next 7 days.:(

[ZTE Grand X V970] vinamilk:
I see that JB seem to be less stable than ICS. Some bugs I've found on this V970M (both ICS and JB in OP) :

- Weak vibration (hardware related), need to be increased weight of fly wheel on vibration motor or set higher volt for it (kernel related)

- Even with battery status wipe procedure but battery percentage not show real time value, it stuck at a point and drops fast later or until we reboot phone again.

- Phone becomes hot later if we do not Stop/Kill apps that use Wifi/3G (JB)

- Sometime phone without vibration when in call coming (JB)

- Vol buttons cannot use when proximity sensor is activated

- Maxthon Browser FC when use back navigation function in JB, Dolphin is ok. Both on ICS are ok.

- GPS fix time really slow or even cannot be fixed. In MTK engineering mode GPS status update lots of information but in GPS related apps like GPS Test or Maps we need very long time to fix GPS.

Hardware related flaws :

- Screen glass is not filled up full inside benzel --> stuck dust if we use it for long period of time.

- Weak vibration (mentioned above)

- Led back-light bleeding in dark tone screen

- Battery status
[ZTE Grand X V970] eddie-lu:
Anybody knows? That is the thing that interests me as well. I did not found anything in call settings.
[ZTE Grand X V970] baseh:
I have a V970 and I fully concur with your analysis. I may add:

1. The heating problem occurs (in my case at least) when WiFi is active but with no connection (probably seeking at high power).

2. The voice volume is lower in JB than in ICS, especially when on loudspeaker (used mainly with navigation programs). I tweaked it at max in MTK Eng but it is still below the ICS level.

3. It seems to me that the touch is less sensitive in JB and also the applications take longer to load and work slower, but that may be subjective.

If it was not a lot of work I would revert to V3.1, I guess ICS fits the HW better.

Sorry Bruno, you did an excellent job but these are probably JB issues with the V970 and out of your control.
[ZTE Grand X V970] denexo:
Hi Bruno :) Which are the files needed for the bluetooth to work? I am using the ICS rom and i would like to test the JB bluetooth files in order to test the connectivity with my toyota touch & go car entertainment system
[ZTE Grand X V970] wackenroader:
[MENTION=4882780]baseh[/MENTION] About the sound volume issue, Do you access engineer mode via mobile uncle tools? The engineering mode in the setup menu does not work because they do not have root permission, to set the output volume of headphone plug headphone and then access mode in mobile engineer uncle and set the volume. To fix wi-fi issue go to wi-fi settings tap in menu key and go to advanced choose wi-fi activity and choose second option.
[ZTE Grand X V970] XxMaRCoRexX:
i have installed your rom after 2 day on my new zte v970 grand x....it' very faster but it warm up quick.

anyway is great!

only one thing...we need OTG camble kernel driver compatibility (for mass storage, mouse,keyboard ect...)
[ZTE Grand X V970] rufaz:
that is not possible. mtk6577 itself do not support it. :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] XxMaRCoRexX:
=O

there is no way it can be used :eek:
[ZTE Grand X V970] baseh:
Thank you wackenroader.

However the engineering mode did work and even through uncle I found all of the Audio settings at max as I set them right after installing JB. Still not as loud as in ICS with default values.

The wi-fi setting should solve the problem and save a lot of juice but not for me (I use MightyText a lot and that needs wi-fi even when the phone is sleeping). My next project is to program settings for different uses (outside, car,etc.) either by Tasker or Android (NO, don't point me to ready-made solutions, I want to work it by myself:silly:)

Meanwhile I just turn Wi-Fi off when going out.
[ZTE Grand X V970] XxMaRCoRexX:
when the 4.1.2 ... or 4.2?
[ZTE Grand X V970] jonasbeavis:

And custom Kernel....

anyway

[HTC Rezound] BroncoAG:
Does anyone have a good downlink for RUU 4.03.605.2? I have searched everywhere to find one. The androidpolice site seems to be down as I get a javascript error when I try to download from there and none of the mirrors work. I tried to download from the dropbox link posted in a different topic but it was corrupted everytime I downloaded. I s-off'd as soon as I could and I haven't updated anything since except changed roms and want to update to the newest update and then go back to my current rom which is viper 1.0.3. Thanks for any help. Once I find the link I just need to flash the ruu twice, factory reset, flash jbear hboot, recovery and rom of my choice is that correct?
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
I distributed it as a torrent file within a few hours of Android Police posting it. Apparently uTorrent isn't very popular in these forums.

If we had a hundred seeders it would be the fastest way to download the RUU file.

If you like using uTorrent, here is the torrent file

http://db.tt/RsULMvOy

However, I don't think there are many seeders.

regards,

P.S. After downloading remember to check the MD5 with that published by Android Police

[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
true the first was pretty fast for me since no one is really using it anymore.
[HTC Rezound] BroncoAG:
I tried that one about 8 times yesterday and it never worked so I tried it again and I get the same error as yesterday "{"INFO":"failed posted hashcheck","SOLUTION":"please make sure you have javascript enabled for androidfilehost.com. Hit the back button, enable javascript and try again please. we promise we are probably not doing anything nefarious. maybe. no promises though."}" My javascript is already enabled and I am running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit w/windows explorer 9. I downloaded that bit torrent but it says it is corrupt and it took 4 hours to download.

Edit: I just tried it on Windows XP with explorer 8 and got the same error message.

Edit: Just downloaded Google Chrome and it is working. Internet Explorer is the problem.

Edit: I downloaded 3 different times from the androidfilehost website and from 3 different computers and all 3 times the zip file was corrupt.
[HTC Rezound] vcmstone:
Try the download from your phone. I had the same invalid folder message when downloading it from a PC. Once I did it from my phone, the download worked.
[HTC Rezound] BroncoAG:
Thanks, I actually just tried that and it downloaded about 10x faster but I had the same error message. I verified the MD5 and then used a zip file repair to recover it and it worked. I just flashed it twice but it did fail on MDM_CUST, TPZ and Radio Cust2 and then I did a factory reset. It just rebooted and appears to be working correctly.
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Shipped-roms.com, has it.....downloads fast. Vigor section.
[HTC Rezound] BroncoAG:
Thanks. there servers appear to be down. I'll try them again later. My phone appears to be working but the last update had 3 things fail on the update so I will probably redo it once I find a good download think. Thanks again.

EDIT: I got the same corrupt error message from shipped-roms as I did from Androidpolice on both my phone and computer. It got me thinking and it ended up being my winzip program was saying it was corrupt when it wasn't. I changed to 7zip and the error message went away and I just reflashed my phone and it went perfect without any errors. Thanks for the all the help.

what exactly are you trying to get accomplished? and you are s-on right also did you follow the directions on the site?

any suggestions
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
you may need to get a card reader so put the ph98.img back on the sd not in any files and install it in fastboot again twice
[T-Mobile LG G2x] therealnexion:
Hey guys,

I've got a Wind G2X which I've recently installed the new 2012 baseband on using LG's tool and the local webserver trick (I believe this technically rebrands the phone to T-Mobile). I then installed some not-latest Eaglesblood AOSP and had it for a while -- everything was pretty solid.

Then I decided to upgrade to the latest, since I like to stay up to date. During this upgrade, I've also tried to "Fix Permissions" (in CWM, after a data wipe) to make sure the permissions are correct just in case -- this operation makes no sense if it relies on there being data (I suspect it does, because I was able to successfully Fix Permissions after flashing the ROM). While "fixing permissions", I've had the phone freeze up, so I pulled the battery, tried again, same thing. Ever since, I've tried installing the latest EGB AOSP and kept finding my phone either dead due to emptied battery (way too quickly) or dead WITH battery charge, every day.

Just recently, I flashed HellFire Sandwich (tried 1.7 and now 1.9), both of which greeted me with "Process stopped.. something something.media". Now in 1.9, when I went to the Play Store for the first time, it hung. I had to pull the battery. 2nd run worked fine.

So I have the following questions:

1. What could be wrong? I doubt it's just bad luck with the ROMs -- surely they would notice such significant problems.

2. When I flash a new ROM, I do the "wipe data/factory reset" and "Wipe Dalvik cache" (should I do the 2nd step? if not, can it cause problems?) followed by flashing the ROM and then GApps. When I do this, can there be some remains from the previous ROM (or some system components) causing the stability issues, or is it a perfectly clean installation with the exception of the recovery partition?

3. Is there anything I can do to truly restore/wipe the phone to prepare it for flashing some ROM and guarantee that there isn't some residual software that can cause problems?

I'll see how stable HellFire Sandwich 1.9 will be on this phone, but the .media crash and Play Store hang may be indicators of more to come.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hardy272:
:/

All ICS roms for g2x have issues with the stability , you should wait the new SU660 Kernel source for a super stable and fully working ICS ROMS :)

always make wipe factory reset, wipe dalvik and go to advanced and select format /system , before flash any roms, there is no bug froms previous software if you follow these steps (sorry for the english lol ) e_e/

I recomend you any cyanogen based rom (GB 2.3.7) with camera port for cyanogen in the lg optimus 2x thread :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolkoz:
Hey people first off all I would like to say that I recently bought myself a new shiny S3 and so far love it. The one thing however that disapoints me is the quality of camera. I had an iP4s before this phone and I must say that it took much much better quality pics than S3 especially in low light situations. The difference in quality cannot be unseen, the pics are supernoisy even without zooming. So I'm asking, is it possible that I maybe got a defective camera on my phone? This fact really annoys me because I tend to use camera on my phone quite often.

theres been huge comparisons between the 2 cameras. Theres a thread on here that compares them in a bunch of different conditions and if i'm not mistaken the S3 edged out the 4s (sorry i dont have time to link it right now) . :)

GSMarena did a camera test S3 vs 4S vs OneX vs PureView and the results were (from best to worst) Pureview, S3, 4S, OneX

I guess it just depends on the way you take the pics but i have heard of some models shipping with bad camera modules... Could u post some pics maybe so that we have a comparison:confused:

Hello. I haven't used the camera much yet but i would have the iso off auto and set as low as possible. Image size at 8mp and quality set to superfine. That would be my starting point.
