Apparently this model is also sold under the name "GioNEE GN868". Searching for that plus the word "case" will find you a few sites that carry a case that supposedly fits our phone, but they all look a little shifty, so be careful.

Identification (Phone x Contats x sms)

MacGyver1138, I read your statement for Micromax A90S: Development Thread. Hope we can progress to JB.

If anyone can help me in solving the identification of Outgoing calls and Received calls both on the phone - contacts, and the phone - sms.

Its only change the app or have to swap files, xml scripts, ......? In my previous smart, used android 2.2.2 and identification was normal.

Here in Brazil we have identified thus: XXXXXXXX no spaces or -

But the phone's 4.3 indicates BLU VIVO: XXspaceXXXX-XXXX

Of course we know that BLU VIVO is designed for users of the USA, but I doubt if the problem really phone.apk, storing contacts or ICS 4.0 for a solution for Brazilian users.

I appreciate if someone can answer with certainty, or can help me with more details and informations ....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacGyver1138:
I use mine in Germany, and we have all manner of weird numbers in incoming calls, at first I couldn't get custom incoming ringtones to work, and also was having trouble with it identifying incoming calls. I thought like you, that it must be something with the phone, maybe not dealing with the +49 that every number gets amended with when someone calls me. A number in my phone book for 0160-9871-2345 would come in as +4916098712345, that's pretty different. In the end though, I figured out that it had nothing to do with the dialer, it was the SIM. I discovered that if you try to use numbers directly stored on the SIMs, that certain fields will be unavailable to the contact app, and it can do weird things if you try. If you "import" from a SIM to the phone, it will carry over the SIMs restrictions to the contact's database, so the way to fix everything for me was to tell the phone to only show me contacts stored in the "phone", and that I must enter those contacts manually. I realized this because a custom ring tone for one contact was working on the one below it and not on the one I would set it for. (I also noticed that you can't assign a picture to a SIM stored contact, and if assigned one to an imported contact stored on the phone, that weird things happened too)

So try this:

Set your phone to only show you "Phone stored contacts".

Delete any contacts that are stored in the phone; you can try to remove just the ones imported from a SIM but it's best if the contact database is clean.

Manually enter new contacts, or save incoming calls to the contacts as they come in.

If mine can understand that an incoming +4916098712345 means "0160-9871-2345", then it should work fine for you too. Mine works perfect now. :cool:

This is what colleagues have done to solve the case and works 100%. Some states have XXXXX-XXXX and other XXXX-XXXX difference from 8 to 9 digits. Credit to Pedro André.

[Received Calls: BLU VIVO 4.3 only identifies the number if it is on the Phonebook exactly how I'm going to say below:

Operator OI => 085 XXXXXXXX <-- SIM 1 (OI)

Operator TIM = XXXXXXXX <-- SIM 2 (TIM)

Operator VIVO = 085 XXXXXXXX <-- Choosing who has another operator SIM (VIVO)

Outgoing calls:

Operator OI = (085) and XXXXXXXX (85) XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX and <- OK

Operator TIM = XXXXXXXX <- So connection performs well with DDD or without DDD 041 XXXXXXXX

DDD is the number of operators for not local calls.

Operator VIVO = (085) XXXXXXXX and XXXXXXXX

In short, the problem is not the machine but the operators, two receiving with 085 in front of the number and TIM receives only the phone number without area code on the caller ID.

So far from what I have noticed that having to add the number to 085 and another without the DDD in my phonebook (GOOGLE).]

So I think it is something specific configuration of each operator. Thanks again for the information and news you know, I'll be alert.:fingers-crossed:

BLU Vivo 4.3 international ROM?

Hi,

I've made a big mistake. I live in Europe and I ordered a BLU Vivo from U.S., but the D910a (American) version, instead of the D910i (international) version.It was my fault, I cannot blame anyone else but myself. :(

The phone is good (I previously used BLU Studio 5.3 and gained overall good experience with it -- that's why bought BLU phone again). Everything works well but I cannot make use of the 3G data capability of the phone since in Europe there is WCMDA system. But I think, the difference between the two versions is only in the firmware, not the hardware.

So, I'd like to try falshing the D910i ROM to the device, if possible. But I have'nt found it so far, and the BLU firm does not want to help. Therefore I am asking now the kind help of our community!

Thanks in advance,

Tibor
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacGyver1138:
You're brave to try pushing the 910i version (it is posed in an earlier thread), and let us know if it works. I thought the hardware controls the radio freqs not the software, but I don't know for sure. I have the 910a too, and I live in Germany (T-mobile), and mine works fine. I would see if you can't borrow a SIM from another provider, perhaps its just that one provider that doesn't work. Here is the freq breakdown from the phone.

2G Network	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2

3G Network	HSDPA 900 / 2100 - D910i

3G Network	HSDPA 850 / 1900 - D910a

GPRS	Class 12 (4+1/3+2/2+3/1+4 slots), 32 - 48 kbps

EDGE	Class 12

Speed	HSDPA, 7.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps

I'm guessing my provider must be on the 850/1900 freqs. I would check to see what the other providers use in your area. But if you do flash the 910i, please let us know if it works.

We have the same situation with a friend here in Brazil (Ceara) who bought the wrong model (D910a) and can not change it. So if the question of running 3G model D910a switch to the model D910i, please do let us know, because we had the same idea, but it does not have much experience in development.

We have the ROM backup and a way to flash the recovery directly to the phone, there is no risk there. I even flash the JB Rom of the A90S from the link you publish, but the phone won't boot.

Bricked my phone

Reminder: My concept was to change the ROM of my American 3G phone to the International 3G version, in order to use it with the European (2100 Mhz) 3G networks.

I've done it. It was not easy, I made a few attempts, but finally with custom Recovery could flash the ROM backup of D910i (international) downloaded from this thread.

But with the new firmware on board I couldn't connect to 3G either... So, everything was in vain...

And it was not enough. Don't ask why, but I made a factory reset. It simply bricked the phone! Now it is in continuous bootloop. The only thing I can do is to put it into recovery mode. But it is the stock recovery (what doesn't offer flashing), because I also lost the CWMR.

Now I don't know what to do. If I switch on the phone the bootloop starts. I can stop it only by taking off the battery. With Power and Vol. buttons together I can enter into factory Recovery mode and I can make factory tests, etc. :(

Any idea? Please, help me, if you can. Thanks.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacGyver1138:
If you bought the phone outright, scream at them. If you got it for 1$ on contract, you've got no normal recourse, its kinda still their phone.

I would look for a modified version of their app, one that has been hacked to look at the wrong filename (not that of your rooting app), if its unsigned, it shouldn't be that hard to find the string that it uses to compare names and hex edit it to something different. If it's signed, then all you can do is ask the company nicely not to do that. They basically think you are a media pirate, or could be, with a rooted phone someone could maybe write an app that would let you "save" that TV show to your phone, and then they would be unable to charge you a second time later if you wanted to see it again. So they block rooted phones.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RemoWilliams:
thanx for the explanation of the possible reasoning behind it (media pirate, etc.). i pretty much already figured that out myself. but it's just that i hadn't expected this. until it happened :)

no contract on the phone. the app (ziggo tv) is available in google play store. for ziggo customers to view tv at home on their phones when connected to ziggo network (via wifi). had another look at the reviews in play store just now.. i read that temporarily disabling SuperUser will let you watch tv.. tried it, and it works. pity i need to disable SU first, but it's better than not being able to look at all.

Well, finally I could bring back the phone from the continuous bootloop, by choosing the 'Clear eMMC' option from the factory mode menu.

Now -- according to the 'Settings >> About' I have 910i (international) ROM, but the 3G still does not work. Only EDGE the maximum speed the phone can reach.

I also tried to flash or install the baseband switcher apk, dowloaded from XDA, but the flash was not successful (nor with CWR neither with factory recovery) and after installing it normally the app immediately force closes.

Now I tend to belive in what some experienced forum mates stated in other, older threads, that the 3G frequency is hardware-dependent. It's a pitty... I cannot use properly the otherwise good phone, so I think I have to get another.

I think so too. So why can we change the IMEI of slots. But in a matter of physical hardware may be different. I tried a lot before, searching the site of the Gionne engineer mode. What happens is that my D910i works correctly and does not have a D910A for tests. Moreover, I am not the developer who perhaps could change command lines to learn. Anyway, I believe the way you did can be done in Ctibor D910A and then compare.
