I'm also looking for any guided way to root / custom my Grand X in (to get bluetooth tethering) so i'm gonna try the hungarian forums !

Any help appreciated ;) (never did that before)

If anyone manage to do it thanks to the hungarian forums , i'm interested to know (even better with sharing of the needed files)

Rooted mine, but i managed to brick it :(

I Rooted my GXI with a program i found on a hungarian forum some time ago, but after getting to wild with the root-powers i got, i managed to brick it totally... (boot loop)

I got into the recoverymenu by holding power+down, but when i reset the device, i booted into a message that said ''System UI has crashed''

And a black screen... The message pops up again and again...

Is this the time to give it up, or is there a way to unbrick it? (dont have CWM installed... )

Hello,

I'm looking for a custom ROM for the ZTE Grand X IN. I need to upgrade the version of Android to at least 4.3 or higher. My girlfrend want to pair this phone with smart watch, can somebody give me a link to a stable ROM? I have already rooted the phone, but I am not able to find a suitable stable ROM for this phone. All links I have found till now are somehow broken, thanks a lot.

Jiri
[Android General] svetievboris:
A little help please.

I found this on the official zte website: http://wwwen.zte.com.cn/endata/mobile/Macedonia/

Mine is from t-mobile and the update is dated 26.12.2012

I bought mine before that date. Could anyone tell me what does this update do and contain?

Thanks
[Android General] altri:
In Greek ZTE page, the change from the update was just the kernel.
[Android General] svetievboris:
Thanks

And if I install it using the method described in the manual, will it completely reset my phone, or it will just update while keeping the user information?

Thanks again and a Happy New Year to all the participants of these forums :D
[Android General] Zarrick19:
It will keep everything. Its just and update package, not a completely new ROM.

When I updated my Orange Santa Barbara, it just updated the kernel. I think. I mean I havent noticed any others changes at all.

3.0.8 before, 3.0.8-svn4330 after update
[Android General] altri:
Did you have to re-root?
[Android General] Zarrick19:
Before the update it wasn't rooted.

Btw, any idea what is that square?
[Android General] altri:
The place for 2nd SIM, but it is closed and cannot be open.
[Android General] Zarrick19:
Yes, maybe. But why is there that metal square? If ZTE just want to cover the 2nd SIM connector, then they will just made the cover from plastic as is the complete body. Anyway, the white circle in it is probably a water sensor.

Q#2: What is for the connector above the NFC pins? It looks like a connector for some kind of antenna (like Wifi in notebooks)

Q#3: What about the NFC? Any info about it? There is a connector for it, and place in the back cover. There are drivers in the phone too.
[Android General] Schweng:

Intel has successfully ported JB in September, I dont know what is ZTE waiting for. Probably GXI is not primary in SW development, cause it was introduced only in some countries, not world wide :/
[Android General] rocky3234:
Battery Problem

Unfortunately I can't help with the OS / rooting ROM issues of the ZTE Grand X IN.

However I can confirm that the problem of the device turning off randomly is connected to battery problems. In particular a mechanical problem in my case that leads to a loose connection between the battery and the power contacts of the phone. I assume the parts wear out over time and the connection gets bad. To solve this it helps to slightly push the battery against the contacts. Therefore I put some layers of paper behind the battery on the side opposite to the contacts. The paper should slightly push (Not too much though, as it might further wear out the contacts or in worst case could damage the battery, what could give you a Note 7 basically :P ) the battery against the contact pins and results in a better contact. I'm using this technique for about two years by now and the number of shutdowns decreased dramtically, however not totally.

I would agree on the general opinion here. My next phone won't be a ZTE. Coming with preinstalled spyware, no OS updates, no other ROMs available anywhere, many apps seem not to run with it. Actually the security nightmare under Android.

(However their ARM phones might have better support..)
[Android General] Metacloud:
Are there any power batteries to this device?

Because I would love to improve battery time.
[Android General] mick232:
At CES 2013 in Las Vegas, Intel introduced the Z2420 platform called "Lexington", which is just Z2460 running at 1.2 GHz instead of 1,6.

Quote:

"Intel says an Android 4.1 image isn't far off, but was too buggy to put on display at the show."

If an 4.1 update for the Z2420 isn't far away, the same is most likely true for the Z2460.

X-Sim

Hi to the Forum,

As i am trying to find some unlocking solutions for the Grand X IN locked by telering Austria, i found a card called X-Sim and another one called UnlockItNow SIM.

Does anybody has ever tried those cards?

Or does anybody know what causes the sim lock in our phone?

Thank you in advance

SOLVED!!! (Factory Reset :D)

Hi

Can someone send me the Stock Android 4.0.4 ICS Browser for this phone I disabled it in the App Manager and I can't find it now it's deleted I don't know how this happened. I have Rooted GXI. You can find the stock browser using Root Explorer in /data/app it is named as com.android.browser or as Browser.apk! I hope someone will help me! I'm from Macedonia. Sorry if my English is bad. :banghead:

General question

Hi.

I've been cheching the different versions of the V970 and it is difficult to get proper data.

What I want to know is if the Intel version has E-Compass, as the MTK version does not have it. Some webpages claim that the Intel version has it, but I want to verify with actual owners. I know some people don't find this specially useful, but it has saved me a lot of time in many trips.

Best regards.
[Android General] Zarrick19:
I dont know what is E-Compass but I tryed some Compass applications and they are all working well and the same way
[Android General] mrmanso:
Hi, thank you for your quick comment.

I think is the term they are adopting to tell if the board has a magnetic sensor. It is easy to test, if you load google maps you should see yourself as an arrow instead of as a point, and the arrow should move (according to north I assume). Can you check this?

BR
[Android General] Zarrick19:
After enabling Location services, there is the arrow and its moving correctly. Pretty cool thing :D I have never used GPS or any location apps in my phones
[Android General] altri:
Did you install it?
[Android General] mrmanso:
Thank you again for the info. I'll order it and hopefully in a few weeks I'll try to contribute to the community :).

[Android General] krondar:
Hi guys, I use this phone for a month now, and I love it :) But... (there is always a "but", heh) i got some questions

1. Microphone settings. Did you find any? Because it is sometimes annoying when person you speak to is complaining about sound quality. You know - one moment you are louder and in the next moment you are quieter (like far away). (same thing on second GXIN I own)

2. Touchscreen and it's shakiness on touch. You can see it in Google Play when you try to open some screenshot. (same thing on second GXIN I own). Got any solution for it?

3. 2 seconds silence when answering a call. It's a minor glitch and I'm accustomed to it, but it's sometimes annoying when you forget about it :)

Why we still have no ZTE Grand X IN forum?! ;]

P.S. The plastic cover makes cracking sound if you open this phone few times. I opened my about 5 times and it's making cracking sounds. My wife opened her once - no sound.
[Android General] Zarrick19:
1. Some users complain about "robotic" distortion, I just noticed very low volume when recording video/audio. I have never noticed any problems with the sound when calling someone, the other side neither. Im not sure, but it looks like the phone has 2 microphones (top and bottom) and the second is probably for noise reduction.

2. Yes, the touchscreen is having problem with single-touch/tap. Probably low-quality touchscreen

3. I noticed that too, pretty annoying for me. Dont know about any solution

About the plastic cover. Yes, after several mounts/dismounts the plastic cover started making cracking sounds. Well what, its not a 500€ Samsung :)
[Android General] krondar:
And it's not always, so not every call is frustrating :] I think that the second microphone is the issue here. But, we can not turn it off :/

Nope, it's not the touchscreens fault! It's software. Guys on forum.android.com.pl tested it with some touch testing apps - it's a kernel issue! They have there one developer who is willing to fix it, when they will have source code ;)

Found something like this, but it's not working for me.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImN6LmJ5dGV3b3Jrcy5jZHAiXQ

True! :) And 500€ Samsung have the same issue sometimes hehe :)

i cant post a link, because i am a new user... hungariandroid Forum search it..
[Android General] svetievboris:
There is no native application to run FM radio and I haven't found one that runs either. I tried the HTC stock FM radio, the Motorola custom Radio app as well as Spirit Free radio with no success. The installation goes through ok, but then the apps just don't work.

Sorry
[Android General] Tsunagioshi:
Is it for FM Radio οr internet radio ?

οk thx hope a custom rom give us the ability to use FM radio (i believe the radio is locked on some countries and cant understand the reason - dont think that ZTE made different device for each country)
[Android General] krondar:
Didn't saw any FM radio apps for ZTE. Motorola only :/ We need someone with ZTE that has an unlocked radio and the app - a simple copy of the apk would be nice :)
[Android General] ArcTron:
Ah sorry, internet radio.. ^^

but it works fine..^^
[Android General] spring3:
I'm interested in buying this phone if there's the possibility that Windows could be installed on it (XP at least I guess).

Is that likely to happen? Personally I wouldn't even need internet, sound or 3d graphics drivers in it, just the ability to work in 2D applications, particularly Microsoft Word.

is the bootloader similar to the one in x86 PCs? can it be unlocked and have new OSs installed?
[Android General] atillaahun:
Yes, you visit the Working ROOT link, in the OP.

Yes it is, you just can't revert to your stock ROM at the moment. I also added some relevant info about it in that topic, you linked.

[Android General] octa7:
Thank you.

Did someone encounter such a problem, suddenly mobile data exchange stopped. I wiped APNs put them again, restarted the phone and still no luck, but wi-fi is working perfectly.

Also because I can not write in the ROMs topic I'll write here one more bug regarding the ROM in the apn-conf.xml for Moldova should be edited or removed the section completely because it is wrong.

Is it possible to eliminate this 2 sec delay after answering the phone because it is really annoying...
[Android General] tommikcz:
I had this problem too - I just couldn't browse the internet through mobile data connection, WiFi was OK. So I made a factory reset and everything is fine from that moment :laugh:. Well, except that horrible touchscreen response and shaking when I want to make a single touch :mad:.

And I got a question - did anyone find a properly working flashlight app? I've tried some, but the flashlight just blinked and turned off :(.

And the last one - did anyone try the NFC chip? I'm not sure if Grand X In has one, but the vendor says that, couldn't try it so far.

Thanks!

Grand X IN does not have NFC antenna but there are NFC drivers in the phone. However, there are no settings in menu for it.

The OTG os working well, mouse, keyboard and pendrive too. You need to have an OTG enabled male MicroUSB -> female USB reduction. I just bought one without OTG support so I needed to mod it myself (very easy).

Im using Apex Launcher - fast, stable, many settings
