GPS Issues

I am back on V4 because of the battery problems and heating.

I still can't get a fix on GPS. I have tried several conf files. I got the last one from one of my friends whose GPS on N1 work without a problem. Now I see 12 satellites on GPS Status app and YGPS. But the phone coudn't fix any of them. I have searched other threads but found nothing useful. Can anyone help me please? :confused:

you downloaded it off of their official page????

Can you give me a link for the official gapps? Pretty Please? :)
[General Questions and Answers] Abhkamath:
Hello, I am kkricardokaka's friend with the newman n1. I am experiencing problems with battery life. It dies within 4-5 hrs of usage. Is there any solution ? I tried 'setcpu' but it asks for root access. Also, I am unable to updatE my system. "Please register your sim card to update server and reboot to register" is the message I get. Help would be appreciated. I am new to android OS, so a simple solution provided in steps would help me. :)
[General Questions and Answers] fcsabika:
4-5 hours is the average usage time in android I think...

So no problem.
[General Questions and Answers] kkricardokaka95:
4-5 hours standby dude.. on usage it lasts less than 2 hours.

What really surprises me is only 2 clock frequencies. 200 and 1001 . That's why the battery drains fast cuz more often than not it is unnecessarily at full power
[General Questions and Answers] kkricardokaka95:
Okay. I found their official webpage. It had a page with the word ROOT scrawled in it in english. Apparently google translate didn't do a very good job of translating and I was very very confused! If any of you can read chinese please help :p
[General Questions and Answers] fcsabika:
It makes a difference..

I'm sure that it is not normal even in Newman N1's case, because I read a few people's reports about battery life and it has normal (about 1-2 days standby, or 4-5 hours usage).

So either your phone/battery is defective so you have to send it to warranty, but first try to reflash the rom to see if it resolve the problem.

There may be an app on your phone which eats battery life.
[General Questions and Answers] kkricardokaka95:
Unlikely. I've asked him to keep as few as possible. Besides the bare essentials (whatsapp :P . gmail , Gplay music, etc etc) there's nothing much yet. Ill try running it without those too just in case.

Can somebody provide me links to the latest rom/gapps? :(

Google translate is screwing me up. Can't understand anything
[General Questions and Answers] fcsabika:
Make a nandroid backup and fully reflash the phone, keep it untouched (don't install apps) for a day to see if battery life is normal then or not.

If the battery problem persists, then the phone is defective and you need to send it back to your seller to send it to warranty.

If the reflashing resolves the problem, then the problem was with apps/settings etc.

Don't search the gapps in the chinese site, it's here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

Just flash it in recovery.

There is a newer gapps package, but I think it is for Jelly Bean.
[General Questions and Answers] Pegli:
I'm interested in a chinese smartphone under 200$: it seems that this N1 and Zte V970 are good phones, with some support for custom roms and so on.

Does someone have tryed both?

What do you suggest? :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] lightingboy:
put gapps.zip in your ext. SD card and do it in recovery mode

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHgZNnHdrSA this video will help you get some idea.

be careful there're menu in recovery mode that can wipe your phone.

about your battery life, you're better investigate what cause you low battery life in setting menu > battery

It should tell your what app or process that use battery. and also check cpuspy if your device is in deep sleep when screen off.

Has anyone Freelander I10?

Wilco! Thanks! The recovery is in chinese? :confused:

Oh this is the normal ICS Gapps.... I thought we'll need separate ones for this! THanks!
[General Questions and Answers] kkricardokaka95:
Don't try to criss-cross phones and roms. You could screw up real bad
[General Questions and Answers] fcsabika:
Newman N1 and Freelander i10 are totally the same, only the logo is the difference on the back cover.

Freelander i10 is the clone of Newman N1 (or Freelander i10 is the OEM version of Newman N1).

But you shouldn't flash Newman ROMs on Freelander because there could be some "hidden difference" (unless you read that someone had successfully flashed Newman ROM on Freelander).
[General Questions and Answers] Nastheone:
Thanks,

And which phone has better support?
[General Questions and Answers] fcsabika:
Definitely Newman N1.

It has big support in chinese forum, but I hope that we will get a seperate thread here on XDA for Newman N1 so that we can have good ROMs.

Does this rom also supports Slovak language? On gommers1978's site he mentions Czech (which would also be fine) among others, but I hope Slovak is also hidden in "a lot more" group :)

[General Questions and Answers] snooze baby:

It's only a rom with miui launcher and some changes in UI, but trust me, it's really really fast. The only problem it's that some apps are incompatible with the phone, like the original firm.

xcxj .net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=3427&extra=page%3D1 This is another rom like miui, seems very good and beautiful.

Newman n1 Forum -> xcxj .net/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=48&page=1 There are a lot of interesting roms.

[General Questions and Answers] benc999:
My bad, I actually flashed the one you've referred to!

Initial thoughts are that I'm v impressed with the smoothness of the ROM and games seem to be slicker (New Star Soccer stuttered a bit on the old ROM).

Have had to customise a few things (e.g. gps.conf and build.prop) but its running very nicely.

How to activate wifi direct?
[General Questions and Answers] IcedFlame:
Hi everyone,

i got my phone 10 days ago, and before that, I already read this entire thread and armed myself with useful tips and files for this phone (THANKS everyone), but in reality - here are my initial thoughts so far:

First of all, it is important to emphasize that my phone is Freelander i10, but under the battery - it says Newman. Baseband version i10b01, ROM i10V1.0.2

- Battery life - pretty good. Over 20 hours of medium usage (about 45 min. calls, email, 6-8 hours wifi, 1,5h screen, 15-20 minutes of gaming... :)

- No problems with overheating and draining battery. It looks like processor clock was managing frequencies correctly, even before I installed SetCPU

- No GPS problems. With A-Gps i managed to get first gps fix within just a few seconds

- Internal and phone storage were not inverted. However, I used "NoSD patch", because I have 8 GB SD card, and I needed more internal storage for apps.

- Phone speaker was not loud enough initially, but I fixed that using MobileUncle MTK tools, to the values I'm comfortable with.

- Compatibility with few apps solved by editing build.prop file. I replaced every "i10" with "GT-I9000", and NEWMAN with SAMSUNG :)

- I was thinking about applying backlight buttons fix (that was irritating for me for the first two days), but then again, I realized they can be always lit up just by pressing Vol+ or Vol- button, so for me, It would be worse to have them constantly illuminated while playing a game or watching a movie.

All in all, I'm very impressed with this phone so far. I also have Star X18i (MTK6573 and 512MB RAM), and Freelander/Newman is millions of years ahead of this, in terms of build quality, speed, screen responsiveness and CAMERA!! The camera has surpassed all my expectations, whether it is a static image or video in HD quality.

[General Questions and Answers] KURT.Beadles:
Glad you liked the phone as I do :) But you have a nice little feature that I don't have, which is the pressing Volume +/- button to lit up the backlight buttons. Do you have gommers ROM or another one?
[General Questions and Answers] IcedFlame:
I have stock Freelander ROM v1.0.2. And after seeing all the troubles with newer roms, I don't think I'm gonna be upgrading anytime soon :)

If someone can help me, I'm willing to make a custom ROM based on Freelander 1.0.2, or at least to back it up for future use, upgrade or downgrade.
[General Questions and Answers] KURT.Beadles:
ooops, it does lit up as you say, foolish me. I tried the Volume button without logging in to it. I have to log in first then it worked. Appreciate the suggestion for you making a new ROM, since gommers work so well I'll stick to it.
[General Questions and Answers] tivchev:
Im having seriously bad sensors issues after flashing custom ROMs on my N1. Compass and gyro are completely off and constantly in motion. On wake they are frozen so i need to shake the phone a bit. Not sure if related but GPS got a fix only once for a little while. Most of the time it sees no satellites at all. I've had the Newman for two days. Spent hours trying to sort this out. Same thing recently happened with a ZTE Vivacity... I just saw this:

For the people being stuck in a boot loop.

Reinstall the whole original newman n1 rom

including the original recovery

using the flash tool.

After that put on the phone and let it boot up.

After that u can reflash the new recovery and install the custom rom.

Never do a factory reset on a custom rom.

. Reinstall the custom rom instead.
