Order of upadtes instalation

Gommers, a quick question. After flashing CWM recovery should I first flash update 4.V1.0.9.20.10.2012 beta with necessary steps:

"- Select Wipe data/factory reset

- select Wipe cache partition

- Go to Advanced --> Wipe dalvik cache"

AND THEN to flash the update - update5.V1.0.9.05.11.2012Deodexed (without wiping cache partition etc)

OR can I (having CWM recovery) just flash update 5? Then what about wiping cache partition and so on...?

Thank you for your hard work and patience with amateurs like me :)

Stachu
[General Questions and Answers] gommers1978:
You can flash v5 directly but your whole system will be wiped so all you settings etc are gone.

What you can do is make a backup first with CWM choose backup format tar and then recover only data after the update v5. (menu backup and restore --> advanced restore)

Have to reboot after charging

Hi, did any one else experience that it's not possible to make or receive a call after leaving the phone on charging for a while?

I have to reboot it every time I have charged it, be it through the USB or the wall charger.

I'm using only one SIM card could that be the problem?

Is there any way to turn off one of the SIM slots so it won't look for another SIM card and display a small error icon on the screen that there's no second SIM card?

:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] gommers1978:
I did not have this problem, is your sim inserted in the first sim slot?

Thanks for the quick reply! OK the annoying message is gone, and that little icon to the right which showed a crossed over second SIM card which is great. The only thing that's showing up when I reboot or power up the telephone is a small triangle icon with an exclamation mark that it couldn't find a second SIM. Is it how it's suppose to behave, that I will get the information about the second SIM missing each time I reboot? It's not that annoying since I can click it "away"....

It get freez when I am using camera . I have tryed a videocall at skype and messenger, and in both case it was freez when I tryed to go back in menu. I pull out the batery and ''resolve '' the issue.

Because I do not know anything about android , can anyone to make a little tutorial with how to root and how to instal a new rom? and also what soft should I use?

I read all this thread but with no knowlidge about android ...is very hard :)

For cvm and usb I have tryed driver from zopo300 ( I have win 7 /64 )but with no succes.( at work )

I will change my laptop os to xp ( at home ) and I will try again.

Another problem I have is with contacts. With country prefix it not recognize the incoming numbers

Wifi is wonderfull , hot spot is wonderfull, and 3G is working on umts very fine.and very fast ( I can see online hd streaming very smooth )

The battery drain pretty fast, but it is not concludent because I play with it a lot ( wifi, bt, 3G , programs...etc.)

Allso , for gps , I see a thread here ( I will study it ) on XDA, but I want to ask what soft do you use ( for europe in special )

And the last question, for grate developers guys , wich are the ''must have'' programs for this model. I installed some from market but there are not full working or have compatibilities issue...

Etotalk N1 ordering Issue

Hello All,

First, I would like to apologise in advance to post this here but I saw that some of you already pruchase the phone from Etotalk, that is why I am asking for advise.

I ordered on the 20/10 a N1 from thgis company and on the 27 they told me it was shipped from HK Post but the tracking number was not active. I waited a few days and still no info.

Then, on the 5/11 still no info so I contacted them back and one day after on the 6/11, they told me they did not shipped it with HK post but now with Singapore Post!!

And the problem now is when I tried to track the package on Singpost, the status is"INFORMATION RECEIVED" since the 01/11/12 !!!

I am starting to think that they did not ship the product yet (maybe because of availability) and they are lying a bit to me.

What do you think about this, did you already experience such issue with them? or such issue with carrier change?

Thanks in advance

....And I found another issue

On first sim I have only umts 3g network, and on sim 2 I have only voice GSM.

When I have voice call ( second sim active ) the first sim is stopping. an I have no internet.

When call is end, the connection of first sim is comming back.

Is this a hrdware problem or a software problem?

I have seen that because I use first sim + wifi to make a hot spot and every time when I receve a voice call, the internet is of.

You must only restore data, not the whole backup.

No this is not a hardware or software problem.

Another question:

I prefer to install AdAway. Collides it with the AdFree hosts files which are integrated in the ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] pacaliciosu:
Because it works g+g, and w+g , it dont matter. But preferable if you have N1 then use sim 2 wich is only for gsm.

Also, you shoud define only your band of carrier. In that way you will save battery and processor usage.

Alright I have pasted the steps here:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Charge the phone (100%)

2. Wipe battery stats

3. Reboot the phone

4. Now use the phone until the battery has gone from 100% to 0% (when the battery reaches 0%, it will turn off by itself)

5. Now charge the phone 100% again without interruptions (don't even touch it)

When battery level has reached 100% (not 99%), you may use your phone again.

Strange Problem with GPS

My GPS has stopped working. Although, when I go to YGPS (under mobile uncle tools) I can see 10 satellites but when I open Google Maps it is unable to fetch the location.

Under LocationBasedService (mobile uncle tools) I am unable to view any satellites when I test the GPS.

I have tried enabling Power GPS search too but no avail .. GPS still won't work.

GPS only worked once when I updated to v6 and downloaded Google Maps afresh. At that time, Google Maps pinpointed the location in one minute. At that time, I was able to view satellites under LocationBasedService. However, in the morning it stopped working.

Any ideas?

Install this file trough CWM to remove button light init.d support:

And let me know if the phone does not warm up anymore.

The problem i think is in the boot.img that they used in the button light with init.d support. They took the boot.img from another phone and that causes problems on ours. Strange that our russian friends did not see any problems, there are allot of things that are not correct in the init.rc file of their boot.img i am trying to decompile boot.img and add init.d support my self but no suc6 decompiling the boot.img-ramdisk yet. :(
