yes...had the same problem...try to use another APP: Enhanced Email is very good for Exchange (latest version for JB)
[ZTE Grand X V970] TopTomy:
Hi metzner, thanks

Though this app (and K-9 Mail) won't work with my corporate Exchange 2007 server,

because they support WebDAV protocol as far as I know...
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
Search on XDA. There are solutions to that. I stop stopped using this rom in the past because is that, tryed Saturday and is working.

If I remember correctly its needed to clear email cache in apps\email.

Manage APS, exchange services, clear data. After this I get mine working. And my corp calendar is synced too.
[ZTE Grand X V970] jeslun:
This actually solved itself.

My provider had some problems and did some maintanance and since then I've not had the above problem. I guess it was something on their side that crashed the phone strange as that seems.

---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

Does anyone have a tear down of the phone or can give me a quick description?

I've gotten dust under the screen in the lower right corner that is very annoying when there's a lightsource shining on the screen (such as the sun outside).

is it safe to charge with samsung cable?

Hi,

I saw that the micro usb cable of samsung galaxy s2 is the same as the ZTE,

I've tried to use the s2 charger for few minutes and it charged the zte ok.

Is it safe to charge the zte via the samsung S2 cable?
[ZTE Grand X V970] Sentrax123:
Yes. It's okay to charge your ZTE with Galaxy S2 charger.

JB 4.1.2

Possible JB 4.1.2 update to work on Bruno. I don't know if it's genuine but I will put it up here just in case it is.

Jelly Bean 4.1.2

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

And here is one more that is potentially a real 4.1.2 ROM

>>>here<<<
[ZTE Grand X V970] jongep86:
I think it's pretty hard to remove the dust behind the digitizer (the touch recognizing thing) and before the lcd. I tried to replace my digitizer last week because it was broken. You have to remove the backcover, the screws, and the unclick te back. Then there are some very tiny flat cables you have to disconnect. The digitizer is then 'glued' to the phone with sticky tape. My digitizer was already broken but I was unable to remove it without breaking it further.

good luck, it's up to you...
[ZTE Grand X V970] jeslun:
Oh, ok.

I will just have to live with the dust then I guess.

Thanks for the reply though.

Backup before upgrading from ICS to JB

Hi,

I have ICS v3.1

If I am backing up my phone via the recovery mode and then install JB.

can I restore the data backed up in ICS into JB?

Where did you get this files. The first should be miui (not interesting) but what is the second one?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
You should not do that. If you are upgrading from ICS to JB you should clear all userdata and configure phone from scratch. ;)
[ZTE Grand X V970] rickastillo:
hi im a new owner of a zte Grand X v970m, but the one with the single sim slot, this rom will work also with this phone? ive already tried but it doesnt detect the sim card, its like it detect it in a "virtual" second slot that my phone doesnt have, any idea how to fix this? it shows the imei so i dont think it is a lost of imei problem, and of course in option menu, the sim manager is grayout (cant be selected) i how you can help me, i want to try the jelly bean rom with my phone, thx

edit:by the way ive already flashed the recovery menu, thats how i got back to ics (the original stock rom of my phone)
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
I got them from random foreign websites (chinese, indonesian, russian etc) that I come across. I don't keep track of what file comes from what site.

But the official JB ROM I got a few months back for Bruno to work on actually came from a friend in Indonesia. So far I have not heard back from him on the Indonesian JB 4.1.2 stock rom so I try to get it from alternative sources.
[ZTE Grand X V970] rickastillo:
any help?
[ZTE Grand X V970] edgardurao:
Mine only has one slot (Portugal version) and works perfectly. A bit annoying when you start the phone and complaints about no card in slot2 but it only appears that message in next reboot. I can live with it
[ZTE Grand X V970] rickastillo:
thanks for your reply, is there any differences in the name for this two cellphones? (between dual sim and the single sim) or any jelly bean rom for the single sim?

changing the subject, is there a way at least addin the extended power menu from ICS 4.0.4? (this is the stock rom) guess i will have to learn to live with ics for a while :S thanks in advance guys
[ZTE Grand X V970] iCantRememberMyUsername:
Hi, just thought I'll say thanks to [MENTION=455439]bgcngm[/MENTION] and post an update (or rather the lack of it) on the issue of JB for V970.

The ZTE V970 is my very first Chinese device and it was really Bruno and others' excellent reviews on it that got me buying one to start on my journey in the MTK world. I'm enjoying it so far and although it isn't built as sturdily as my other brand-name devices it appears to hold up okay (except maybe the Power button, on mine it appears to be very loose).

Although advertised on etotalk as running JB 4.1, the phone arrived today with ICS 4.0.4. I opted for the stock Chinese ROM because I know I'll put Bruno's ROM on it anyway, and I was hoping that I'll receive a stock ROM in JB and could perhaps contribute to the community with a nandroid dump, but alas this is not to be!

I now have Bruno's V3.1 on mine and it works great. I also enjoyed the extended data partition but I guess this would mean my stock ROM nandroid backup made prior to the data partition mod won't work anymore? Anyway that is not too much of an issue :)

Thanks guys and hope to learn more about these devices.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
Here is the stock JB ROM I gave to Bruno to work on

https://www.4shared.com/rar/iAfS0Ya7/ZTEgrandX_v970M_JB_StockROM_CW.html

I am hoping to get my hands on a JB 4.1.2 soon but it's proving more difficult. But maybe we will never get a genuine 4.1.2 so it may not be a bad idea to just work on the 4.1.1 version I linked too if you want to make your own/contribute.

and btw; my power button is also "loose" it's just how it is on the V970 I guess.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bubbas1:
is there any solution to use skype with this rom. its very unstable, sound is unusable.

Has someone found a solution or another 4.1 rom with working skype? It's the only thing I miss with my v970.

thank you for all the work!
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
It's not a problem with the ROM though it's Skype that is the problem. It actually works fine on my phone but I seldom use it so maybe under heavy use it's unstable. Your best bet is to mail your concerns directly to the Skype developers to add support for the V970m

Unfortunately your problem doesn't seems to be software related... that is based on the fact that you said it also happens with the stock ROM.

I already said that I am starting with Custom Android ROMs... This is my first time with Android...

Well I am updating from Bruno`s 2.1 version to 2.2. I already made a Nandroid backup.... Now, after I update what do I have to do? Do I restore the Data from backup as soon as the update finishes? Or do I need to boot first and after the first boot make the Data Restore? Is it just the Data or do I need Cache also?

Thank you for any help for this newcomer...

First of all thanks you for your donation.

To have the extended userdata partition back after installing the new ROM just follow what I wrote on this post.

Why can't you just flash my custom recovery and then install the custom ROM? I advise you not to mess with ROM Manager because it is not compatible with MediaTek devices.

Call freeze

Here are some screanshots before freze..

What is wired is that sometimes it works great sometimes freezes (most of time)

I tried with wifii off/on data mobile off/on... diferent scenarious... and even with diferent dialer...(1st time it worked with it later don't)

I wiped out cache on the dialers and sims on Titanium backup... no solutions...

I repeat I dont think it is a harware problem because sometimes it works... I think that is from dual sim management or roaming the problem... is there any sim manager to replace the one in android 4.0.4 ? one from earlier verrsions?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:

SIM Management

I tried:

1. SIM 1: COSMOTE (on phone but OFF)

SIM 2: ORANGE (ON)

CALLING: FREEZE

2. SIM 1: EMPTY

SIM 2: ORANGE (ON)

CALLING: OK

3. SIM 1: ORANGE (ON)

SIM 2: COSMOTE(ON)

CALLING FREEZE

4. SIM 1: ORANGE (ON)

SIM 2: COSMOTE(in phone but OFF)

CALLING FREEZE

5. SIM 1: ORANGE (ON)

SIM 2: EMPTY

CALLING FREEZE

6. SIM 1: EMPTY

SIM 2: COSMOTE (ON)

CALLING OK

----

CONCLUSION: no cosmote or orange problem... it freezes when SIM 1 is NOT empty???? why???

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

but when no sim 1 inserted it appears 3G and the little r near on strenght signal so it my not be an sim related error but a dual sim management problem.
[ZTE Grand X V970] sp4wned:
hmmm

I tried something else...

I TRIED WITH 2 COSMOTE SIMS AND WORKED PERFECT!

WTF? WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH SIM FROM ORANGE???

it is a NEW sim! ?!!!!!????

I think I will go now to orange dealer and ask for another SIM??

there are many versions of this sims? I suppose they gave me the last version?!!!!???!
[ZTE Grand X V970] Alex_Hypnose:
Hi,

I have a problem with my ZTE V970. I installed your custom ROM, both SIMs worked in the beginning, and now none works. I get those Xs at the signal, as if the SIMs aren't in the phone.

In system>about device, it doesn't show me any baseband. Could you please help?

Thanks
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Have you been messing around with any system files? Have you tried re-installing the ROM?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bubbas1:
but with the ICS 4.0.4 versions it worked stable ?
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
For me it worked fine in ICS 4.0.4 yes
[ZTE Grand X V970] bubbas1:
yes for me too... so then its strange that it should be related to skype and not to the rom. I don't think skype adapts its software to each phone, there are some apis and drivers skype relays on which should be present in android and each rom. I suppose its some kind of setting or missing codec which breaks compatibility with skype but unfortunatly I can't find any information about that.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
When I installed Skype I had to "activate" the video chat option because "my phone is currently not supported on Skype and could be unstable" [or something like that] I had to agree and then it activates video chat option on my phone.

It's strange that you didn't get this message. What version are you using? Mine is 3.2.0.6673
[ZTE Grand X V970] bubbas1:
I also got that message. Skype has only a few "supported models" where they explicitly guarantee fully working skype. In principle any phone with a missing front camera will never be on that list of "supported models". But that is also the case for HTC Desire etc. for example but skype works with that versions too.

I tried newest version from market and also this patches version which can be found here on xda version v19 I think, but nothing helps until now :(
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
This is the message I talk about, I was just thinking if enough people with the V970 push them to fix the issues with this phone then maybe they would do something but other than that I doubt it's going to get better.
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Have you tried enabling MODE_IN_CALL on that modified version of Skype? I can't remember exactly if Skype was fully working with the latest version or nor, but you can be sure that the problem can be found on the stock ROM as well. Unfortunately, that's an incompatibility of many stock MediaTek based phones (which is not new, already happened before with MT65x3) which affects Skype and other apps such as Viber and Tango.

Off-topic: you guys really abuse of quote feature. Can't you simply reply without quoting, taking into consideration that there are no other posts in between? :p
[ZTE Grand X V970] bubbas1:
it quotes automatically if one presses respond somehow ...

thank you bruno for your response. I have tried the mode_in_call then if one selects loudspeaker and switch back to earspeaker it works for some time but sound gets garbled again after some time. so it is not really usable. Yes stock rom is also not working. but the older versions 4.0.X were working so they seam to have changed something, settings or driver.

anyway it seems there is no good solution then at the moment.

thank you for the great rom its really awesome.

Can I extend user data and keep the stock ROM

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the extended user data steps in post #4 but keep the stock ROM. I just bought my V970M and have only rooted and installed the ClockworkMod Recovery but have not yet committed to a full ROM upgrade. I did make a backup just in case I do in the future upgrade to this custom ROM however in the mean time was wondering if I could benefit from the extended user data space process. If this is possible would the steps be the same up to the reinstall of any custom ROM or would I need to modify the process to make it work?
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
What is the stock ROM you have installed, ICS or JB? That is important for me to determine whether you can apply the mod or not.
[ZTE Grand X V970] DocMCSE:
The stock ROM is ICS v4.0.4 kernel version 3.0.13
[ZTE Grand X V970] bgcngm:
Okay, in your case you can do it. Jump into post #4, and follow the instructions. Please not that you must install disable_internal_sdcard.zip, taking into consideration that you don't want to install the custom ROM.
[ZTE Grand X V970] rickastillo:

I had created a nandroid backup of the stock ROM on my V970M but the build number of mine seems different than the one Bruno has a copy of. Bruno's file name is CU-CN-QB18D-P175A20V1.0.0B03.7z and my build is ZTE-SA-QB125D-P175A20V1.0.0
[ZTE Grand X V970] Sentrax123:
Hello DocMCSE,

The build number of your stock rom is different , because it's different stock firmware. The stock rom which Bruno had uploaded is Chinese region ZTE firmware, that's why build number says CU-CN(china) instead of SA (in your case).
[ZTE Grand X V970] muhrizky:
Whether it was CU-CN, CU-CME doesn't matter. Main point is whether you can uploaded or cannot. That's all.
[ZTE Grand X V970] wshyang:
Hi guys,

I got a V970 and flashed Bruno's rom, the rom works great. However I am having a problem with the phone.

It seems like voice calls through the earpiece have a crackling/distorted/vibrating sound, it also sounds very weak and hollow.

Anyone else having this problem? Is this a hardware fault?
[ZTE Grand X V970] Sentrax123:
Hi wshyang,

I don't have this problem. You should try reverting back to stock rom, and see if that solved your issue.. If it doesn't help, that might be hardware fault.

Also you can try MTK engineering mode, you may find something useful for increasing sound volume.
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:

SIM Toolkit

Very off topic, but in my stock ROM (Saudi Arabian I think) in the app drawer is a tool named "SIM Toolkit" but if I select it down at the bottom of the screen it tells me the "application is not installed on your phone". Is that normal or do I have to install something to activate the tool?
[ZTE Grand X V970] gerstavros:
that's because you don't have any sim put in your phone
[ZTE Grand X V970] DocMCSE:
Actually I have one SIM installed (not 2) and if I go into the manage apps settings I see 3 entries labeled SIM Toolkit (first 2 have different icons and there is a 1 or a 2 in those, the 3rd has an icon that matched the one in APP Drawer) and all 3 have 0.00B listed as size and when selected only button available is Force Stop. This is not anything critical but I was looking for some place where I could disable the second (empty) SIM slot so the phone will not keep warning me it is empty eact time I reboot.
[ZTE Grand X V970] jeslun:
As far as I know there's no way to get rid of that notification. I did look for that aswell but didn't find anything.
[ZTE Grand X V970] ev1lchris:
Hello!

Thank you for the great ROM and tutorial.

Unfortunately I am having a bit of a problem. I have installed the VCOM drivers, and the installation says that it was successfully installed to Windows 7 64 Bit Ultimate. However, I am trying to confirm this in device manager and am not sure where to find the drivers.

I tried looking for a COM port section but could not find it.

Also, I load the scatter file and choose the appropriate checkmarks, however when I hit download I get a message that there is no path available and the flash never goes through. Perhaps this is due to a VCOM driver issue?

Any help would be appreciated.
[ZTE Grand X V970] DocMCSE:
It's just a backup, so I guess so

Here is the CWM backup I made of my stock ZTE-SA-QB125D-P175A20V1.0.0 ROM. (Does anyone know if the "SA" stands for South Africa or for Saudi Arabia?)
[ZTE Grand X V970] sevencd:
With win7 64bit, you have to boot win in special mode to install driver that not in the list of microsoft.

U hold shift key and reboot win7 in start menu, there are some choices appear. I dont remember exactly, but it is the way.

After reboot, you can install driver for v970.

You can google "install driver in win7 64bit" to get help....

I use phone to answer, then sorry for not tell u in detail or give u some screenshot ^_^
[ZTE Grand X V970] ev1lchris:
So the driver didn't really install even if it says "Windows 64 bit Ultimate Installed Successfully?"

I will try your method and give an update.

Thank you very much for your response.
[ZTE Grand X V970] ev1lchris:
Tried installing drive in Safe Mode, still didn't work. The driver install program says it installs successfully so I doubt that is the program.

I am having an issue with SP Flash because after I load the scatter file and check the boxes the program tells me it can not continue because there is no path. How can I add the path? What are the paths?
[ZTE Grand X V970] Jebusura:
they are in the folder you should of downloaded with spflash tool. I assume you used the links on this thread to download sp flash tool.

If you extracted the files to desktop for example, you will simply load the scatter file from desktop location.
[ZTE Grand X V970] ev1lchris:
I used the scatter file from the CWM Recovery.

Flashed the recovery and now I'm rocking Jellybean. Don't like the 500 MB memory for apps, other than that everything is great.
