Hi there,

yes i got one sat locked and that was it.

yes i contacted the seller but not replied yet.

Think i will give it one last go again tomorrow and see if there is a difference after having performed a factory reset.

Going off at a tangent i did notice when i reset the phone that when my google accounts were setting up, each one asked me for credit card details so i can pay for apps from the app store. (Did not enter my card details by the way)

Don't know if this is normal with ics but as google already have those details why would they be asking again ?

Made me a bit weary of getting apps from the app store in case this phone is full of spyware.

Anyway..... will post again when i have tried gps again tomorrow.

Regards..

Installed Handcent. It crippled that as well. With the file restored all is well. I just mark the chinese stuff as spam. :)

As far as i know you can't stop unwanted messages arriving in your sms box. well you can by deleting files but then you can't send either. bit counter productive :)

Filtering them to blacklist is ok but they often have different numbers. These Chinese spammers are not stupid.

[Android General] fjorger:
Thanks for the tip ;)

I will try that "MobileUncle" app, and also the "faster than Light Launcher".

Faster and lighter, right?

Yes be safe, don't put any credit card data yet (using the phone) because if the SMS problem is more than span, you can get in trouble :(

I didn't get any more SMS from China after disabling the cavas service (and using Go SMS pro), but I'm not sure it's 100% fixed.

12 mp Camera??

Is this really a 12mp camera? Is there a way of testing?

I have an old LG phone with an 8mp camera and the pictures are much brighter and clearer!

Do I need to do something in the settings?

In case you are still wondering if your phone will work with a 32 Gb card: Yes, I can confirm, that B92m works with SanDisk mobileultra 32 gb microsd card. :) Cheers

Brick mine

I've tried to root it, but phone was unplugged when it flash.

It won't start at all yet.

I've tried to flash it again. it's recognized with the driver, it flashes, but won't start, nothing at screen...

I need sec_ro, cache and user data for last try but i think i'm the first with a b92m bricked that can't start again !

Have you any idea to help ?

Thx.
[Android General] fjorger:
Yes the 12Mp thing is nothing more than a selling gimmick.

In fact it should be a 8Mp interpolated to 12Mp.

And don't expect a premium quality images either...

By the way I noticed (on my phone) that the two lower buttons " are not lit (no bright white light), does everyone faces the same problem?

In fact there is a small light (only visible on dimmed locations) coming from the LCD (when it's on)..

Regards,
[Android General] llinde:
I'm not sure, they are not very bright, but clearly visible and the fact that they are lit a fraction of a second before the screen is lit make me think the light is not originated from the screen.

GPS

I used Mobile Uncle feature 'power gps search and reset then restarted gps. It wrote lots of extra info into the cps.config file. Did a reboot. fired up gps test app from play store and it found 11 satelites. Sadly it did not lock any of them.

Given up now and ordered a small bluetooth gps unit to use in the car. £15 from ebay. Problem solved :)

Regards .....
[Android General] fjorger:
Thanks,

You are right, the light doesn't come from the screen (but smd led's for sure), and in my case the light is almost non-existance :( (due to high resistor value -> bad or high tolerance components).

Well Bad Luck for me, fortunatly is only a cosmetic bug.

How long did you wait for a fix? On a clear area?

Hi there,

I don't have much experience with flashing procedure on the STAR B92M, but did you try the "FULL ROM WITHOUT SYSTEM" or "SYSTEM FOR ROM BACKUP"?

Maybe you should request some kind of help from the author of this thread (he is the most experience person) ;)

Yes, i've tried this.

Phone won't boot.

I flash it with spflash, it says that's ok. But it doesn' t boot after i unplug it.

Hey,

if i want to replace the services.jar for tablet UI, do i have to deodex the rom first?

EDIT: it worked without deodexing, but i prefer phone UI... buttons are too small :silly:
[Android General] jobvandonselaar:
MD5 mismatch

The first part worked as a charme! CWM working (but not backup?) and Data is 2.5Gb

Restored the System and very happy now!

Wondering how got get the tablet ui, anybody some more pointers?
[Android General] GT35pro:
Just use Apex launcher. There is tablet ui option built in.
[Android General] Guugle:
Put services.jar on your sdcard. You need root and an explorer that can go into systemfolders. ES explorer for example. In ES you have to check everything in settings - root-settings.

Now you close the settings and click back to get to /

Now navigate to /system/framework

Now make a backup of services.jar rename it to services.jar.BAK for example. After renaming it, navigate to your sdcard where the new services.jar is placed and copy it to /system/framework

Change the rights by holding on the new services.jar, tap on properties and set the rights to rw- r-- r--.

Now you can change your dpi to 169 with LCD Density Modder (from Play Store) for example. After a restart you have tablet ui.

Hello

I have just found a Spanish site or we speak about many of B92.

ww.movilesdualsim.com/foro/forums/115-B92M-I9300[/url] / page3

It is the same question of a Roma who was finalized(worked out):

ww.movilesdualsim.com/foro/threads/183[/url] 99-PORT-ModRom-DRX-B92M-Beta-1-ICS-4-04-Basada-en-DRX-1-6-2

Here are the main clauses(head teachers) characteristic of this Roma:

- Reduction of the consumption of random access memory

- Multitasking improvement (profiles minfree / MOO / zram)

- The fast detection of the GPS(GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)

- Abolition(deletion) of the advertising applications

- Selection of installation with regulations and applications Aroma personalized.

- Updated since a previous ROMA without losing of data

- Improvement of the speed ipv4 / 3G

- Savings(economies) of consumption of the battery(drum kit)

added one w in front of the links, because I have enough message here to put the links.

DRX Port Rom

Running this ROM on 512Mb now, no more launcher redraws and much better battery live!

Still waiting for final conclussion on the battery, after the battery stats wipe i got stuck on 15% batt for an hr now.

Rebooting is broken, needs a battery pull. Fast reboot & power off from Rom Toolbox works. Just not the reboot and recovery reboot :(

GPS is working.... just really needs to be in open field... not like a balcony where my other androids will ge a fix in 5 sec..

New ROM impressive

I have a 512 MB version and the new ROM looks very good and is considerably faster. (I use also the faster than light Launcher). The only issue is that reboot doesn't seem to work. But as it seems very stable thats not such a problem - one has to remove the battery. I hope the next version will fix this.:)

Just thought I drop in to say Hello.

Hello everyone...

I'm considering ordering this Phone > http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Star...80-720-Android-4-0-Smart-Phone/658712778.html

Is this the correct Phone for the Recovery? I've seen a few flavours of the star model & want to be sure. If not I can build my own recovery but figured having a jump start would be nice...

Also, does anyone know if Kernel source is on the net?

I'll likely get this phone in the next week or so once I can get the cash up, so just wanted to do a fact check is all.

~Eugene
[Android General] llinde:
I got mine from the same seller and I'm very happy with the phone, only the GPS fixing and signal are a bit weak.

I used the recovery root from the first posting succesfull on my phone.

Contact with the seller is good.
[Android General] eugene373:
That the news I wanted!

I've never bought china clones before, so a bit worried but seems like everyone is loving the 1GB Ram Star Phone.

Well, when I come up some cash I'll start dev'n for this phone. currently already sent an email asking about kernel source, but waiting to hear back.

The issues I've seen regarding lag is coming from the gpu. with a good kernel we could overclock GPU in a safe range as well the CPU & I'm positive the battery life could be better..

however these are the only issue I've ran across searching at this point.. that and the camera is truly 8mp and no 12mp.

Thanks for the reply,

~Eugene

Hi Eugene,

Please check out my full review here-

http://www.gizchina.com/2012/11/03/exclusive-complete-comprensive-star-b92m-hdc-galaxy-s3-ex-review/

Please read all comments as i have posted a link to aliexpress seller. If you need other help just ask. Please bear in mind that due to holiday season it may take around 10-15 days for shipping even if you go via DHL/UPS

Must say the phone is very good. Like you say lag from GPU due to high res screen and slow GPS is one thing that bugs me but apart from that it's amazing.

I'd be grateful if someone could help with a fix. Does the spanish custom rom fix the GPS or small lags at all? jobvandonselaar or Dany could you please use rom and tell me if it is worth installing. Thank you very much for everyones help.
[Android General] eugene373:
Thanks for the reply, I'm not 100% sure when I'll be getting this currently.. In process of finishing a baby room, so most of my free cash is being spent on that.

My goal is to roughly get it in the next couple of weeks ( or at least order), so until then, I can't say what all can be fixed or if I can build AOKP / CM for it currently.. I'll know more once I get it though.

Funny thing is I found you review last night & was a good read :) Digging through all the clones & came to the decision the one I linked is the better candidate for dev'n on.

Yep i still recommend this phone as it is the best price compared to other dual sim/dual core phones out there. Especially if you want an S3 look a like.

I treid the new version (Beta 2) but it`s not running on my B92m 512MB RAM. It seems that it is designed for the Zopo 900s, which has different display resolution (qHD) and for the 1GB RAM version of the B92m :(
[Android General] jobvandonselaar:
The Aroma installer got an option for B92m and its running super on mine also with 512Mb. Maybe you downloaded another version?

Rebooting is fixed, got GPS fix under a minute (grrr) but at least it s working now
[Android General] CYberdog11:
thats strange, I tried it also with the B92 option. But when I start the phone, the boot logo appears and then at the upper side of the display the the logo get scrambled. And thats it. then a few seconds later, the boot logo get away and the display stays black.

I don't think, that I doanloaded another version, but to be sure, can you post your download link, pls

Edit: don't know why, but I reinstalled it and now it runs, perfectly?!?!

well, I'm very happy with the second Beta. Till now, everything working fine :fingers-crossed:. And at least, the GPS bug is fixed. I had the first lock in about 30seconds :)

For the Memory issue, I set the dalvik.vm.heapsize from 256m to 48m and now I have round about 150-180MB of free RAM. So at all, I'm satisfied with it :D
[Android General] ahmadcentral:
Do you have 512mb ram version?

Does the new rom fix launcher redraws and other graphical issues etc... (basically is it any smoother)

Also is it stable? i am looking to install this rom soon.
[Android General] gerstavros:
to fix launcher redraws on stock rom, change vm_dalvik_heapsize to 48
[Android General] ahmadcentral:
I have 1gb version and current value is 128, why is it better to change it to 48? Thanks
[Android General] gerstavros:
If you have 1GB version, change it to 56. System will use less ram and will be faster. And no launcher redraws
[Android General] ahmadcentral:
Thanks, the phone is a lot smoother now.
[Android General] jobvandonselaar:
Is this right? 462.5 Mb of Ram?? First i order 1Gb, then they promised to send 512Mb and a ****ty sd card and now i found out its even less??

Or did the 2.5Gb rom trick change something? How does this look on other 512Mb version?

Still my score is 5400 and up in Antutu. I put also the minfree values i put next to the vmheap of 48.

Oh, and i also use the 'Lock launcher in memery' option in Ram manager Pro, but i dont think this really works actually...

The minfree values i got from the spannish site, thank to ...?... i forgot

edit:

I realize this is becomming way off topic so if someone opens a new tread maybe i so go there...

I found a build.prop of Lazarillo for the 512Mb version. Google translate is your friend! Works a little better then my seetings..

[Android General] llinde:
I just checked the GPS in my old cheap Android 2.2 Flying F602 phone together with my new Star B92M phone.

I used YGPS and GPS Test plus.

What I see is that my old phone fixes a bit faster, but more important the signal levels of the satellites are almost double of the signal levels of my new phone, this is in both apps.

Is there any chance that that can be better with a patch or is the hardware not good enough, maybe bad antenna or so?

[Android General] Whookid:
Opened a new thread containing this guide which can be found here.

A step by step detailed tutorial:

- Download the following and extract all the files:

MT6577 USB VCOM drivers (link: http://www.mediafire.com/?2sf30pboet4qvov)

SP Flash Tool v3.1224.01.rar (link: http://www.mediafire.com/?h68v8yhhtci8h0e)

CWM-ROOT-B92M.zip (link: http://www.mediafire.com/?8o2yx9ssz1abwon)

2.5gb-data-perm-root.zip (link: http://www.mediafire.com/?4wg5f6rgat8qdrt)

- Install the MT6577 USB VCOM drivers drivers

- Inside the 2.5gb-data-perm-root folder make sure the files have the following names (CASE SENSITIVE!):

recovery.img

EBR1.img

boot.img

logo.img

MBR.img

preloader.img

Screenshot:

- Turn off your phone and unplugg the USB cable

- Start SP Flash Tool

- Under options in the menubar check "USB mode"

- Under File in the menubar click on "Open scatter-loading file" and select MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt from the CWM-ROOT-B92M folder

- Double click the following rows inside SP Flash Tool:

PRELOADER and select preloader.img (from 2.5gb-data-perm-root folder)

MBR and select MBR.img (from 2.5gb-data-perm-root folder)

EBR1 and select EBR1.img (from 2.5gb-data-perm-root folder)

BOOTIMG and selet boot.img (from 2.5gb-data-perm-root folder)

RECOVERY and select recovery.img (from 2.5gb-data-perm-root folder)

LOGO and select logo.img (from 2.5gb-data-perm-root folder)

You should have the following then:

- Click on "Download" inside SP Flash Tool

- Take out the battery of the phone

- Put the battery in

- Connect USB cable with your computer

- The bar at the bottom of SP Flash tool should go to 100% a few time and present you with a green circle when done

- Done flashing, hit volume up + power to start up CWM and make a backup

I hope this detailed guide helps everyone out ;)

I recieved my Star B92M on Tuesday 20/11/2012 after purchasing it way back in October 16th on pandawill so the wait was not interesting I almost asked for a refund, but i was lucky as i bought mine when the first batch of 1GB came out and am loving the phone so far. As for the RAM issue its never the exact number as advertised seem with computer harddrives and SD cards so like my !gb version is actually around 970Mb RAM. The 2.5Gb mod doesnt affect or modify your RAM amount. I got a score of 5618 in Antutu on my phone.

problems problems

Hi guys,

I'm having some problems and need a bit of help. Recently my notification bar has vanished completley and won't come back at all - every time I restart I get a 'System UI has failed' message and can't get it to reappear at all. I've tried installing notification bar apps from play store in the hope of forcing a restart but it hasn't worked, also tried installing ADW launcher as I read somewhere you could use that to disable and re-enable a notification bar but that hasn't worked either.

Also my dialler seems to have broken, I can't hear anything through the speaker and it crashes regularly.

More problems though - I STILL can't seem to install CWM using SP Flash, I've tried every tutorial I can find and still get nothing. The drivers always seem to be a bit tempramental though - I've tried on two computers with the drivers linked in the tutorial someone posted a page or two back and they seem to throw up usb drivers not recognised errors pretty regularly.

Is SP Flash really the only way I can install CWM? I'm really stuck at the moment because without it I can't install a new ROM - either the 2.5gb one here or the spanish version. I think that would be the best way to fix my problems but without CWM up and running I'm screwed an now have a phone I can't call people on!

The only thing I've changed recently was setting the dalvik.heapsize to 48m, could that have triggered it? Everything seemed to go wrong after that but it seems like that helped most people.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

EDIT: So I've finally managed to get SP Flash to work, and I can now access CWM - brilliant!

Problem I have now though is I want to do a format and install the DRX rom - but to do that I need to copy the file onto my SD card, and without a notification bar I can't find a way to turn on USB mass storage. Anyone know another way of turning this on through settings or something?

Normally I'd plug my usb in, then go to USB debugging on the notification bad then tap turn on usb storage.

I'm nearly there - any help with this last bit?
