Yea, heat gun it and solder a new one on.

DON'T stick anything in, I repeat, DON'T stick anything in that hole, i know it's tempting to fulfill your sexual urges, but please DON'T, you won't like it.

I've been searching over the web for a galaxy nexus antenna connecting port(not sure how you should call it) and I can't find a site where I can buy a replacement part...

Do you know where I can find one?

I'm making an Xperia arc ROM currently, and I'm theming framework and stuff and I hope it will be successful, its still private beta cuz some buttons look bigger than they should... i can finish it on the weekend (or maybe before) wish me luck guys!:beer:
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Whats the point of this?

Btw we already have such roms, or do you port full firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Pancakes_Gio:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadfishGTB:
There are plently of threads on this already but basically there are 2 versions of the Note 2. the N7100 is the international NON LTE version relying on HSPA+ and there is the N7105 which (in the UK) will be released on the 15th October and is the LTE version and will be compatible on the upcoming 4G services offered by EE etc...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMax99:
All the note 2 that are selling now are the international version n7100 which have no lte. From what have seen so far handtec is selling mostly the french international version

Hi guys,

I just got my new LCD Display + Touch Screen Digitizer. :good:

Disassembled the phone and replaced the frame with lcd but i can't turn on the phone now.

When i turn on the phone i feel 1 vibration run and that's it... after 5 min maybe i hear fast bips from the speaker. :confused:

Any idea? I mounted old frame with the display and same thing happening again.

Received my Spice Mi-500 - running commentary

Just received it 18 hours ago - this will be a running commentary on it. In a week's time I will post my full review

1) Looks good - not too bulky

2) Screen resolution is 800x480 - but its not pixelated. Screen bright and colors look accurate

3) Camera pathetic - some software bug creates hyper-contrasted and hyper-colored photos - needs a software update to fix this (NB: changing the camera settings on contrast, color, etc does nothing and photos still look pretty bad)

4) No compass - no magnetic sensor - Is this not present or has this not been activated??

5) The CPU and GPU are pretty good - MTK6577 dual core 1Ghz processor is fast and Antutu benchmark scores are very close to the Samsung S2. GPU works well on HD games (not fully tested)

6) Software is android 4.0.4 - not too many tweaks by Spice. A few preinstalled apps like TOI, dhingana, etc

7) Very responsive and fluid - no hangups or crashes yet

8) Battery life seems fine (but, not fully tested). GPS sucks away battery at the rate of 1% per minute. 3G usage is not as battery hungry

18hr report - great value for money phone - desperately needs a software update to fix the camera bug
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] droidiser:
Hello Vind_r,

Welcome to xda (I noticed it was your first post) and also to this thread.

Have you had any prior experience with any Android smartphone? Do you know rooting and stuff? If yes, then please check out if the processor given in the original post works for the mi 500 or not.

If no, you might want to check out the [URL ="http://www.droidiser.com/2012/07/must-have-apps-for-android-beginners.html"]list of must have apps for your new Android phone.[/URL]

Coming to the benchmark thing, can you post a screenshot/snap of the benchmark screen showing the results. Also try out the quadrant benchmark score and post it here so that we can compare it with some other devices. You're the only one here (at present) who is having the device, that's why I am asking you to do so much stuff :P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] droidiser:
Try alternative camera apps from the play store. Search for "camera"to get few relevant apps.

Try this compass application:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devuni.compass&hl=en

If it works fine, your device has a magnetic sensor. Android phones most probably have a magnetic sensor.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rjunraj:
Can u plz post antutu,quadrant,nenamrk,nenamark 2 scores?

Is it scratch resistent?

which you is present in this phone?

does it gets heated?

is it really 200 grams ?

how is the battery life on heavy usage?

can it play nova and gta or any HD game like those?

how are all the sensors?

how is web browsing?

does second Sim gets disabled while first has data connection on?

does the screen gets fingerprints?

is the body made of cheap plastic our and solid material?

how does it feels in hand? is it easy to carry and has a comfortable grip?

can it be really used with single hand i mean can your fingers reach every party of the screen?

Mi-500 benchmark

I have experience rooting a lot of android devices - I have had android phones and tablets and have rooted/unlocked/hacked/installed custom rom/etc on them all!!. But I am not going to root/hack/customise my mi-500 for the next month - want to check out how all the hardware/software parts work before I start tweaking it. In a month of so, I will definitely start customising my mi-500 and I will certainly report back on this forum.

Coming to the benchmark, I have attached the Antutu benchmark scores - scores quite well (especially when one considers the price). But, am not a big believer in benchmarks - like real-life testing using real-world apps. The processor seems quite capable - In 1 day of mild usage, my Mi-500 has been very smooth, very fluid - does not hang/stutter or slow down in anything mild. I have browsed extensively using the stock browser, played a couple of casual games, recieved/sent emails, opened pdfs/ppts/doc/xls etc using kingsoft - basically used it non-gaming, work purposes - processor has handled it well. Will start throwing more intensive things at it over the weekend and will report back. Have not tested the GPU extensively - another thing I will do this weekend
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vind_r:
Have used multiple camera apps - all end up looking similar - there seems to be some weird OS/firmware level bug that creates horrible pictures. On the veiwfinder screen, things looks balanced - when clicked and opened, everything is over saturated. Definitely needs a software update/camera firmware update to correct this

My mi-500 does not have a magnetic sensor (or it has been deactivated at the OS level). No software recognises/identifies any sort of magnetic sensor and no compass or map app shows this either. Have used multiple android system informers/elixer/compass type apps - all report that there is no magnetic sensor.

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

Does anyone else with a Mi-500 also have the same camera problems? And does any other Mi-500 have a compass/magnetic sensor in it?? Could I have received a dud Mi-500 with these two problems?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vind_r:
1) Antutu benchmark posted - please above

2) Have not tested the screen for scratch resistance. Will not test it deliberately - but, it will be evident in a month or two if it is.. Will reprt back

3) It does not get heated under normal and 3g use. Top of screen gets heated when charging - makes it very difficult to hold to ear for ~2-3 mins after charging - cools down soon though

4) Battery life not yet fully tested - but has lasted whole day with 3G on and intermittent use

5) Have not played any HD game on it yet

6) No magnetic sensor/compass - do not know if this is a bug in my phone or if it is omitted altogether or it it needs to be activated at firmware/OS level through a software update. But - at the moment, no compass - no gyroscope. All other sensors present - proximity, accelerometer, etc

7)We browsing is super smooth using stock browser - dual core processor really helps (+ ICS browser is quite good)

8) If 3G is on on the master SIM, then data can be used on the 1st sim and 2nd sim is active also (for calls only)

9) Spice have sent it with a screenguard on - leaving it on for 1-2 weeks. So, havent checked if screen is oleophobic or regular

10) It is indeed 200g. It has a second flip cover based back cover also included in the package - if you remove the stock back cover and put this flip cover, then the weight goes up by 10-15%

11) Feels comfortable to hold. Of course with a 5 inch screen, no way can you do everything one handed - you need two hands or to keep it on a table for some activities

12) Material is white with a silver trim on the side - all plastic. Feels decent

How is the touch responce and scrolling?

Can u upload a video review on youtube?

I m still not sure about hd video and gaming fun and also about battery life.

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

How many touch points does it have?

Spice mi 425 had 5 touch points so i guess this one would also have
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vind_r:
The screen is 800x480 - but its still sharp at normal distances (its not a retina display by any stretch, but at normal viewing distances it does not matter). It has only 2 touch points - but have no complaints as it is very sensitive and the sensitivity can be dialled up or down at the OS level.

Battery life is quite good - no fully tested, but in normal usage with 3g always on and wifi off and auto brightness, even after 8 hours of moderate usage, 50% battery life is left (single SIM only - am sure if both SIMs are present and active, this will decrease the battery life)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vind_r:
Spice Mi-500 is manufactured by Chinese OEM Konka - sold in China as Konka W990

Found this when I was exploring the menu options. Please find below additional details and specifications of this phone. (have also attached two photos of the W990 - obviously, other than the branding, it looks exactly same as mi-500).

Hope this information helps those of us creating custom ROMs etc.

Installing and Rooting CWM

Hi Folks

I am using ZOPO ZP900 Leader phone and since the Spice Stellar uses the same processor MTK 6577, I am sure most of you will be seeking ways and means to Install CWM and root the phone.

MTK requires a Flash Tool to load ROMs. I have made a detailed guide for Installing CWM on ZOPO which can be accessed here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1899412

For video guide you can see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfemoi6Aizw. The method is same when using Flash tool !

Note ZOPO device comes rooted but without CWM and hence my requirement was slightly different.

You can use this method to flash CWM and use the options including making a nandroid backup, but I am not sure if flashing any of the available Su signed.zip files in this forums will effectively root this device (this was method to root the earlier Spice MI 410).

I am not a dev and maybe a dev/experienced member can comment on this.

Nevertheless this is a beginning ! If anyone make headway please do share and report for others benefit.

Also note there are many MTK 6577 devices and some have already released MODs based on Stock Rom. PLEASE DO NOT FLASH THEM since rest of the device hardware is very different !

Cheers !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] balamu96m:
For porting cwm use yuweng's guide present here at our xda....just search it. ...

My experience as a mtk user is that, I should better go back to samsung for any of their exynos or snapdragon...!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] droidiser:
You can get the recovery.img of your stock recovery, then you can mod it so cwm can work with your android model.

If you don't already have the recovery.img file,to get it, first install terminal emulator on your phone(Your phone must be rooted for this!), then launch and type in:

$ su

# cat /proc/mtd

This should give you an output like:

dev: size erasesize name

mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "misc"

mtd1: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"

mtd2: 00280000 00020000 "boot"

mtd3: 04380000 00020000 "system"

mtd4: 04380000 00020000 "cache"

mtd5: 04ac0000 00020000 "userdata"

Now, check for the "recovery partition" , that is which "mtd" it's on. Here it's on mtd1, it might be different for your phone. With that info type in the terminal emulator(You should have your sdcard inserted before proceeding):

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd1(OR whichever mtd YOUR "recovery" is on) > /sdcard/recovery.img

Now upload that recovery.img file at http://builder.clockworkmod.com and see if the cwm works out for the Mi 500.

MI-500 and Exchange/ActiveSynch

Hi All,

Yesterday I purchased Spice MI-500. Its one good looking phone and I am loving it already. But there is a disappointment. I am not sure where the problem exists. Your inputs would be valuable.

I am trying to connect the phone to my office MS Exchange 2010 / ActiveSynch server using Email stock app. With all the credentials / settings correct, it errors out saying "Can't connect to server"

Talking to my admin, he reported this error on the server: 2012-10-12 06:52:07 10.51.1.90 POST /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync/default.eas Cmd=FolderSync&User=somename%5Cusername&DeviceId=S piceMi-500&DeviceType=Android&Log=V141_LdapC1_RpcC13_RpcL 31_Cpo19968_Fet20013_S108_Error:deviceIdNonAlphanu meric_Mbxcmail02.officedomain.com_Throttle0_Budget D <truncated>

Note: Error:deviceIdNonAlphanumeric

Is "-" the problem? How do I work around this? Its defeating my purpose to buy this phone as a business / smart phone.
