[ZTE Grand X V970] thehijacker:
Recently I am having issues with my V970M. Been using the 4.2 ROM in the past but now to eliminate ROM problem I've flashed 4.1 from this topic. The extended mod is installed.

The problem is the random shut down of the phone. It can work for days without any problem and suddenly I find it powered off. Powering it on again works but only until I enter PIN. Then it shuts down again. Some times it works if I only enter PIN for first SIM card and "dismiss" the PIN input for second card. But again it can randomly shut down. I noticed this happens more often as soon as someone calls me.

I also noticed that the battery even if it is fully charged drops down to few % when shutdown happens. When I power back on it still shows few %. But if I take it out of phone and put it back in it shows around 90% again. From eBay I bought a new battery and the shut down problem went away for few weeks but it is back again.

Anyone else had similar problems and figured out how to solve them? Otherwise I will be forced to look for new phone and with having a few months old baby I just can't afford it :(.
[ZTE Grand X V970] avim:
Thank Bruno, you saved my day.

I upgraded to your new ROM, great Installer and smooth phone operation. Very much apprecited

I have one problem though, the WIFI is diabled every 5 seconds, how to recover from this situation?

Edit

I managed to resolve the problem, first I deleted the "bcm_Supp.Conf" but did not help. Then I read somewhere else that reseting the internet router helps. And yes, that made the trick.

I'm very pleased to confirm that the latest update (Android 4.1 V1.3MOD (29-11-2013)) works fine.
[ZTE Grand X V970] geoka7:
I have ZTE V970M DUAL SIM and update to 1.3mod and is very stable. But i have a problem. I can't find the new capability "Included DualSIM Ringer (allows to set ringtone and notification sounds separately for each SIM)". I went to the option Settings->sound profile->ringtone and i saw only one unique selection
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Dual SIM ringer is accessible via GravityBox. Open GravityBox and you'll see the option there. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] cybermaus:
It *cannot* cause the phone to freeze like suggested above. Of that I am convinced. I can however cause the operator to disconnect a call, depending on the operator.

My MT6516 based HD9 also had two identical IMEI. And while it did have disconnect issues due to bad antennea, the IMEI did not matter. Until I went to India that is, and I had to program a Nokia IMEI to get it to work.

I dont know what tipes of sims exists on the market... they gave me an USIM... exactly same version I had before...

Like you see I used two COSMOTE sims at the same time and worked fine

Hi,

I'm running mod rom 2.2.

I have called a friend in London today and he saw +132xxxx instead of +32xxxx as callers id.

Currently, the issue with my bluetooth car kit is not yet solved.

Is it possible that a default country zone related to the dialer is stored somewhere?

Is it possible to replace the dialer?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

I tried with UncleTools different settings in engineering mode for SIM 1 with 3g or not... and stiil nothing... still freezes?!!! ohhhhhh what can be the solution???

[ZTE Grand X V970] Alefello:
Update: the problem is that our camera has 4 flashlight modes: auto/on/off/torch... Probably torch softwares use "torch" mode which isn't very bright. We should find a software or a solution to use flash in "on" mode instead of "torch" mode for torch use.

SIMs update:

tried some days with H3G sim in slot 1 in 3G mode and no problem (obviously :)), then a few days in 1st slot but in 2G mode (forced in roaming) and no problem... Then I switched the SIMs and put H3G sim in slot 2 again and in 2G mode and after one day and a half: red cross :( tried to enable 3G when sim was with red cross and nothing: "can not register on selected network" on H3G network, neither on TIM 2G network... Reboot and immediatly it registered again correctly :( Then I tried to rewrite 2nd slot IMEI and now I'm waiting to see if that was the problem or not...
[ZTE Grand X V970] sp4wned:
Still no one with any solution for me? There is some tools to hardware test the modems? some AT commands or diagnose tools to the the sims at least?

Jelly Bean

Bruno, how long do you think that an update to Jelly Bean will be available for the ZTE V970? Do you think that the dual sim management will be improved in the newer version or it's the same?

Shall I hope that future versions can fix somehow my problem?

How can I contact ZTE for support?

Thank you!

How can I control it on ZTE... maybe it will solve my problem@@!

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Before trying anything else, can you please install V1.1MOD ROM and check if that works okay with your Orange SIM card?

I don't know if ZTE will release any JB based ROM for V970... Let's hope so! :fingers-crossed:
[ZTE Grand X V970] sp4wned:
Curently I run ZTE-V970_multilang_V1.1_by_Dean@etotalk.com

Any point to try your 1.1 mod or it's the same?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
I don't know if it is the same or not, it shouldn't be because as far as I know Etotalk didn't used my ROM as base.

What I know is that my V1.1MOD ROM is based on official ZTE B03 ROM and that is the reason I told you to try it... Just to check if your problem is in any way related to the latest B05 ROM.
[ZTE Grand X V970] sp4wned:
I installed it. After install with ORANGE in first slot tryed to make couple of calls. It worked... After reboot it didn't work... 3G in both situations

Questions:

What to select at Auto-push service? yes or no

and at

GPRS TRANSFER PREFER MODE shoul be checked means CALL PREFER or... unchecked DATA PREFER???

First time to work then not.... 5% to work then noooooooothinnggggg..... bizzare!!!!

What is the first rom original from zte???? even in chinese??? where do I get it???
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
The first one ever released in full image format can be downloaded from my 4shared folder (inside Stock ROMs folder). You need to flash it using SP Flash Tool. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] sp4wned:
I want to try it? Where is a tutorial pls? And after that if I want to install back 1.1 or 2.2 mod how do I do that? could you help me again pls? In 15 min the download is complete!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
The tutorial you should follow is the same that you should already know. My advise is to flash everything from the stock ROM

except recovery

(do that by deselecting recovery) so that if you want to got back to one of my custom ROM you don't need to flash recovery again.
[ZTE Grand X V970] exige:
Hi, I just bought my V970 is a good phone with etotalk rom.

I need some help.

I go into recovery and try to back up.. it says backing up boot or something like that for 30mins? Does it take that long? felt like it hung.

I want to try bruno's rom.

Thank you
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Simple: Etotalk's CWM recovery is faulty, so go ahead and flash mine instead. After that you will be able to create a backup of your current ROM without any problem! :p
[ZTE Grand X V970] Pegli:
My v970 should arrive today or tomorrow: before installing your ROM, I wish to backup the ETO's one, just in case.

In order to do that, I have to flash your recovery following the instructions on message #2 (http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.it/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html), right?

Once I got that, what I have to do? A nandroid backup?

(thanks for all your wiork, Bruno!! :good:)
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Yes, that is correct! You first need to flash my custom recovery and then you will be able to create a backup and update to one of my custom ROMs. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] Pegli:
Thank you, I cannot wait for the phone... hoping to learn well from your tutorials :)

(in particular I'm interested in the extended userdata: do you use App2sd or Link2sd, or those apps will be useless now?? (actually I have an old Liquid A1 and I always run out of space...)
[ZTE Grand X V970] geoka7:
Thank's a lot!:good:

New version of GravityBox was just released. Download from link bellow and flash through CWM recovery.
[ZTE Grand X V970] avim:
Where I can find the following tiles:

- Network mode tile: improved support for LTE

- Network mode tile: added option to choose whether to use LTE or not

- Added NFC tile

I have an LTE subscription and hence I am very interested.

Thanks
[ZTE Grand X V970] Andrenas:
can i just install the new version by doing upgrade from Xposed installer?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Please note that not all features apply to all devices. GravityBox is pretty generic and you can't expect it to miraculously add features on devices without support through the hardware. ;)

You can, but take into consideration that if you're using my latest custom ROM, although Xposed framework and GravityBox is integrated, you have to install Xposed installer.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Andrenas:
Ok. Actually i'm using your latest custom ROM (V1.3MOD). I have upgraded from version 1.2, without formating the data partition. How had the GravityBox and Xposed already installed, they were still installed.

Thank you.

Um abraço :)
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
This will soon be fixed (in the next GravityBox version). Also an option to hide data network type icons will be available as I have found a way to do that and I'm soon going to push the new commits to GravityBox repo. :)

Would you like to loose native ability to manage SIM card name and color?
[ZTE Grand X V970] JOSEunit10:
When you say "Fixed graphical slowness issue" that mean it's already patched with the hwcomposer.zip?

thx!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Yeap, the "good" hwcomposer lib is already integrated.

Hi!

I've updated my V970 from V3.1 ICS ROM to V1.3 JB ROM and have the next problems:

1. Synchronization error appears when the Calendar tries to sync with Google (I installed the Google Calendar during the ROM installation)

2. Message tone sounds when the response on USSD request received when "Meeting (Vibrate only)" audio profile activated

Maybe someone can help me to solve these problems.

Thank You!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Calendar synchronization issue occurs from times to times. The solution is to clear data for Calendar and Calendar Storage apps and re-sync. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] fjsferreira:
Yes, since I'm on the TMN A18 with only one SIM, this is not needed, and it's annoying to always come up the sim name and stuff when making calls, etc. But if it's too much work, don't bother Bruno, it doesn't affect phone's function in any way.

And thank you for the network service icons and the Wifi icon!!! You're the man.
[ZTE Grand X V970] pass25:
And for the battery drains, any solution?

It drops down faster!

Anyone have the same problem or it stables after a feew charges?
[ZTE Grand X V970] baseh:
Battery life

Probably will not go away, unfortunately.

Happened to me too when going from ICS to JB (doen not matter which ROM version). My wife is still on the ICS ROM and has wonderful battery life.
[ZTE Grand X V970] pass25:
yah, i rollback to ICS too, because in this there are no battery stability.

i think its a bug, in statistics it seems there are a statistic in the download manager, if you open it, it says "used by the bluethoot" and i never used bluethoot.

you reboot and somethimes it shows more batery, ou drops alot. its a crazy thing.

i read somewere something like charge the full batery, reboot, and then carge again until 100%. it seems like the full charge never goes to full charge even it apears charged at100%.

I installed today the new v1.3. What i would like to ask is: can we get with GB the statusbar quicksetting as it is in 4.2.x and above?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
No, not possible. QuickSettings is a feature of Android 4.2 and it was crazy to back-port it to 4.1.
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
Did anyone tried or successfully solved this ? I have this problem with beautiful widgets.
[ZTE Grand X V970] gigel87:

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
You should re-install the ROM now. Please read instructions carefully, because everything is written there.

I flashed through CWM and it said it was successful but when I boot the phone and look at the version it is still showing v7.2.6

Any reason why my GravityBox is not updating through CWM?
[ZTE Grand X V970] avim:
[MENTION=1191365]bRunO[/MENTION]

I used GSam Battery Monitor pro to monitor the problem of the battery drainage problem. I did that for 2 mobile one ZTE V970 and the 2nd Samsung Galaxy S2 (Stock 4.1.2).

The monitoring was done without using the phones for 5 hours. The major differences are in the usage % of the Phone Radio

V970 used 66.7% while the Galaxy S2 used only 6.9%.

I thought this information might be useful to you in the case you are able to tune any of the ROM parameter.

PS: the ROM is extremly smooth and crispy on itself.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
In attachment you can find the patch for the location issue. Install through CWM recovery.
[ZTE Grand X V970] gigel87:
Tnx for fix
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Hmmm... only now realized that V970 partition blocks are different and that's why GB was not updated. Skip that version. The new release should be out soon and I will ask [MENTION=5008415]C3C076[/MENTION] to make updater-script compatible with V970.

A quick question: mine is a tmn smart a18 with only 1 sim. I noticed that when scrolling pages in chrome page layout flicks a bit while scrolling. I'd seen other Roms that don't has this behavior. Page scrolling on long sites is fluid. Is there something that we can do?

This happened too with ICS rom from my network.
[ZTE Grand X V970] gigel87:
This is happening to me ...i think it is from chrome and mine it is china dual sim

The problem seems to be during the charge, it shows 100% but in reality isn't 100%.

Some users have posted if you at 100% unplug the charger and plug in again, it charges at full % and the battery time lasts 2 days.

Let's see if there will be any patch to solve it.

Im having troubles with APN's... Whenever I try to create a new one it just disappears when clicking Save.

Just noticed this only happens when i try to change the MCC setting.

The phone is originally from Portugal and its on Roaming on Spain, been trying to solve this over Teamviewer but im getting nowhere.
[ZTE Grand X V970] baseh:
Tried the method of charging to 100%, disconnecting the charger, rebooting (the battery indication was 95% or 99%) and charging again. There was a discernible improvement but still not equal to ICS and the procedure is tiresome.

A SW correction would be great!
[ZTE Grand X V970] pass25:
I have tried various tings but no sucess!

I have tried with battery calibration script(i have to confess it calibrate a little! ) but it didn't solve the problem.
[ZTE Grand X V970] pass25:
It seems like nobody have interesting to solve the drain issues.

Beside us, there is nobody complains and nobody tried to solve it.
[ZTE Grand X V970] rufaz:
i've been an avid 4.1.1 user (since first day i bought the phone) and since i've switched back to 4.0.4 few days ago, yes i got a way better battery life on ICS. i guess that's the nature of it. besides, the 4.1.1 was not really released for v970(from china), it was instead, released for v970m(from indonesia). perhaps, ZTE themselves should update the ROM for better optimization, but then, the update never came by. hopefully they still have the incentive to update v970 to kitkat (since other major manufacturers also plan to update their old devices into kitkat)
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Well, maybe those who have to use baseband from ICS build can benefit from it, assuming that baseband modem got updated. Otherwise, I don't see anything else useful.
[ZTE Grand X V970] superdragonpt:
Probably the same update they did for us here in Portugal.

Nothing new, they just removed the MTK Eng.Mode, and relock the phone back to stock.

They should at least give the new owners an JB, ICS is old these days...

[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
A little hope maybe: Google has updated search app to v3.1.24. I have noticed during Play Store update that it includes fixes and improvements for Android 4.1+, so maybe GEL can now work on V970. I think you guys can give it another try. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] Vreel:
I'm experiencing a problem when I try to update to your latest JB Rom. After the AROMA installer completes instead of rebooting to new ROM it reboots to CWM recovery every time making the phone unusable. I tried reinstalling the ROM but nothing. When I install stock ROM phone works ok. The process I follow after installing STOCK ROM is following your tutorials to:

1. Install extended partition

2. Install CWM Recovery

3. Boot to CWM Recovery and then install new ROM

The result is phone booting to CWM Recovery. Do I need to wipe / format /delete any data/dalvik/cache in between steps? This is the first time I encounter such a problem since I always installed most of your ROMS trouble-free.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Do this: install the ROM, selecting wipe data and cache and after installation is complete save the log and share it here so that I can debug.

I've got a big problem. I'm using latest bruno mod v 1.3. The problem is:

Sometimes when i try to call my signal icon immidiatly turns to "searching" and i must to wait for network to find. I've got Aero 900mhz 3g on sim 1 and play 2g on sim two. This happens since first of your jelly bean mod. on LewaOS problem don't exist. Please help and sorry for my english xD

LewaOS based on Android 4.1 or 4.0? Try using baseband from that ROM.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Vreel:
Thanks a lot for the tip. Actually the problem was in the zip ROM file I had, it was probably corrupted or it was damaged in my SD card. Actually your tip for saving the installation log helped a lot cause I took a peek and saw many errors while writing stuff to system folders. I then proceeded to flash the latest ICS with no problems whatsoever and then realized it must have something to do with the ROM file and not the procedure itself.

So everything fine, now happily checking latest JB ROM, keep up the good work!
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Thanks for the feedback. Checking if MD5 matches after downloading the file sometimes can save time. :)
