Hi,

I have just bought a chinese Note II clone.

www dot cellphonemic dot com/mtk6577-android-phones/s7100-mtk6577

The phone seems to be unable to handle SIM properly. On every start I get the error message:

SIM Toolkit is also unable to start. When I start or receive a call, the display goes blank or just flashes up for a moment. (This problem is resolved already, see here)

I was told it is most likely a firmware error. On searching, I didn't find this model or similar in the forum. I also tried several rooting methods described here without success.

Here are some details I could get from the phone:

I asked the chinese merchant I bought the phone from but he seems quite uncertain, although he promised to send a new ROM.

Can anybody help? Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] fireblade:
Unfortunately is often quite difficult to get support for those Chinese clone devices. I hope you'll find someone that can help you but I think your best bet is to ask the seller for a replacement.
[General Questions and Answers] Gorcsev.hu:
At least I could root. Then I could try some custom ROM at my own risk.
[General Questions and Answers] farmer92:
Don't install ROMs from Galaxy Note II threads beacuse chinese versions of phones isn't the same that samsung's devices! You may brick the phone
[General Questions and Answers] Gorcsev.hu:
It was never in my mind. This is why I posted here. But the question is still academic, since firmware update requires rooting (as far as I know) and I am unable even to root.
[General Questions and Answers] Gorcsev.hu:
Proximity sensor

The problem of blank/flashing screen during calls has been resolved. The proximity sensor needed a proper calibration. I did the calibration many times so far, but not the correct way. I have just figured out how it should be done effectively.
[General Questions and Answers] mridzuan85:
pls teach me.

Hi, can you teach me how to calibrate?
[General Questions and Answers] Gorcsev.hu:
utchti per

It is actually a simple process. Locate your proximity sensor, it is a small LED-like thing next to the speaker, on either side. Look for calibration of proximity sensor, you can find it usually amongst the display options. Tap on it, target-like concentric circles appear and the application asks you to place some obstacles over the sensors. The easiest way is to hold your palm above the sensor approx. 5 cm (2 inches) apart. Touch the Start button, and then try to complete the process with your hand motionless. The whole process takes a few seconds. If you did everything right, during a call, holding the phone to your ear the screen goes blank, and the phone application re-appears when moving the phone away.

[General Questions and Answers] Gorcsev.hu:
Hi,

thanks for the response. How is your ROM working? Is it fully functioning, rooted or not etc.

How should it be installed? From SD card or by flashing application?

Send it anyway, having itself doesn't do any matter.

Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] gog3219:
I have the exact same phone as you but mine seems to be working fine. I've tried to root it and there is no way I can find to root it. Especially since my boot menu is in Chinese! I would give you my ROM if I knew how.
[General Questions and Answers] Magnector:
I guess buyers should run the risk when buying clone phone. Asking replacement seems to be the answer.

[General Questions and Answers] Gorcsev.hu:
You may try to flash the original factory ROM via Flash Tool, if your phone still can be recognized.

Btw. root access can be gained by replacing the Chinese recovery with CWM recovery, then installing SU from CWM recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] Gorcsev.hu:
Successfully rooted

I have just successfully rooted my phone. The process was as follows:

I replaced the Chinese factory recovery mode with CWM recovery via Flash Tool.

Started the phone with CWM recovery and installed a superuser package from it.

If anybody interested, I can provide links to files needed along with description of the process.
[General Questions and Answers] jigsey:
Hi just joined this group :)

Can you post how you rooted the S7100 please

Been trying all day with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18

but phone will not root that way

Thanks Jigsey
[General Questions and Answers] Gavo34:
Tell me the info please, I have been trying to root mine for days
[General Questions and Answers] Gorcsev.hu:
Flashing CWM Recovery and install root

Download CWM_and_root_flash.rar from here.

Unpack the archive with its folder structure to a path not containing any special characters.

Flashing CWM Recovery:

Turn off the phone without connected to the computer.

Take out the battery and insert it back after a few seconds.

(If the driver is already installed, continue with step 5) Connect the phone to the computer with USB cable. The operating system will detect a new device - direct the wizard to the folder containing the driver (for your version of OS)

[*]When driver is installed, disconnect the cable from the computer.

Run the program SP Flash Tool.

​

Push the button Scatter-loading and select the file MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt (it is in the folder CWM Recovery).

IMPORTANT! Make sure, only RECOVERY is selected in the image list, otherwise the phone could stop working!

Push the button Download.

Connect the phone to the computer. The program should recognize it and start flashing.

If the phone is not detected, then unplug it from the computer, remove and insert the battery and re-connect to the computer.

Also the new hardware wizard may pop up again - just let it install the driver automatically.

When flashing is complete, disconnect the phone.

Boot the phone normally to check everything works properly.

Installing root (Superuser):

Save MT6577 blk0p3 Root by CWM-SuperSU 0.99 angelobiz.zip on SD card (internal SD card is preferred).

Turn off the phone and reboot it in recovery mode by keeping pressed Volume+ and Power buttons simultaneously.

You enter CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2 you have just flashed. (Navigate with V+/- and choose with PWR)

Choose "install zip from sdcard" from the main menu.

Either select "choose zip from sdcard" from the next menu if you saved the zip on the external SD card

or select "choose zip from internal sdcard" if you saved the zip on the internal SD card.

Navigate to the zip and press the Power button. When the installation process is complete, reboot the phone normally.

Superuser application is now installed and you can check the root status with a root checker application.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelpat87:
Hey guys,

I am using a Tab 2 7.0 P3113 with JB AOKP Milestone 1. I just bought a docking station for my tab and it charges it and thats awesome, but the dock has a port for aux to plug a audio cord into it to connect to a speaker system. That capability is not working right now, I have to manually plug it in through the headphone jack. I don't know if it is becuase I am using a custom ROM and not stock, but I am wondering if there an app or modification that I can make to allow the sound to play throught the docks aux port.

Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] iamloco724:
is there a way to get the stock messaging app to vibrate for new text when in silent mode?
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
not just using the stock messaging app. But you could probably use a notification app to make it vibrate

But why dont you just put your phone on vibrate?
[HTC Droid DNA] iamloco724:
i use silent occasionally overnight so im not woken up on vibrate it vibrates against the furniture enough to wake me up

but also i put the phone on vibrate the other day texts still werent vibrating
[HTC Droid DNA] iamloco724:
yea i just tried it again i put my phone on vibrate and my texts dont vibrate
[HTC Droid DNA] termin8tor22:
go to messaging app

menu>settings>notifications> check vibrate
[HTC Droid DNA] iamloco724:
i dont want it to vibrate all the time i want them to vibe when my phone as a whole is in that mode
[HTC Droid DNA] iamloco724:
so is the only way to get this thing to vibrate during texts is to have it set that way all the time..ignore my original post cause vibrating in silent is not what i ment..i just want my texts to vibe when i put the rest of the phone on vibe and not have to have texts vibe on all the time
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
That's how it works. It will vibrate on vibrate, be silent on silent, and ring when it is in regular mode.
[HTC Droid DNA] iamloco724:
you mean its suppose to vibrate for a text whether its set to that or not as logn as the phone is on vibe right?

mine isnt doing that
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Messaging app>settings>notifications>vibrate(in the recieved messages section)
[HTC Droid DNA] iamloco724:
yes but thats to vibrate all the time whether the phone is set to vibrate or not

on my old phone i was able to set vibrate for the phone and then everything would vibrate when i set my phone to vibrate on this phone sms is then silent i dont want my sms to vibrate at all times
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Why does it matter if it vibrates when it rings?
[HTC Droid DNA] iamloco724:
i just dont like the vibrating option on texts all the time its a personal preference i only like it when i need the phone to be quiet
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankquattrone:
Hi, I have a 2012 Mercedes ML350 which has the Comand Navigation system with bluetooth. I have no problem connecting to use the S3 as a phone but I'm trying to connect using the bluetooth multimedia interface so I can hear texts read out and to respond through voice dictation. I also have a Win 7 Phone and I was shocked when I connected it to the car and all of a sudden I was hearing and responding to texts. I did some googling and I think it is because the phone is hooked up using multimedia interface. I've tried a couple of different S2s and an Evo and didn't have any luck. I tried driving mode, all the different voice to text options and no luck. I can get texts read out in driving mode but it does it through the phone's speaker and not through the car audio. Anyone know how to connect using MMI? I don't get a choice of protocols when I connect and the bluetooth setting doesn't have any options to change the protocol either. I can't believe Windows Phone does something that Android can't. Thanks.

[Nokia Lumia 920] MvP77:
I bought a new Lumia 920 yesterday and after one day im loving it. The lumia is not my first Windows Phone device. I previously had an HD2 with WP7, HD7 with 7.5 also a Samsung Focus Flash. I always liked the look of WP but could never stick around with it because lack of features (multitasking, front cam, lack of quality apps.)

So far im really enjoying the phone, its one of the best i have owned and i have owned every major OS and flagship phone in the last 5 yrs. The camera easily beats my old 4S and One X for best camera i have had on a phone and i really love the build quilty and weight to the phone.

The only problem I have with the phone is the same one that has been repeated over and over...Apps. While I have pretty much found replacements for the main ones i use on my Galaxy Nexus, there are others I miss. Namely Instagram (great camera like this needs instagram.) And all my google apps. Im a hardcore google user, from mail to G+. i have a shortcut for G+ pinned to my start screen but its not the same.

Pros:

Great Camera

Great Screen and Sensetivity

Good Sound

WP is coming along nicely

Cons:

Google Apps (For Me)

While i have returned every Windows Phone i have had in the past I plan on sticking with the Lumia and see what comes of Windows Phone.
[Nokia Lumia 920] MvP77:
I was also happy with my Purchase experiance at my local AT&T store. I had my usual rep help me who has sold me and took returns of phones i have bought over the years and he was actually pretty good and knew a lot about the 920. I was also happy to receive my wireless charger because i believe i read somewhere that they were sold out.
[Nokia Lumia 920] burningembers:
I, too, just got a Lumia 920 alongside my Galaxy S 3. I like it a lot.

The integration with my work Outlook and Lync is top-notch.

The Skydrive integration is a lot nicer than the detached feeling I get with Google Drive.

In my tests so far, the camera is stellar! I am truly impressed with the clarity of photos even in a dark room.

I echo the lack of Google Apps. The lack of a native Google Music, most notably. Also, I've been an OLED screen user going on about 4 years now (ever since the Zune HD) so the lack of rich blacks on this screen is taking some getting used to, but that's not that big of a deal.
[Nokia Lumia 920] n7slc:
Will it help? I doubt it but here's a petition you can sign to get Google to add their popular apps to Windows Phone.

[Nokia Lumia 920] afx55:
I've had the phone for a day now as well and my verdict is exactly the same. It's a shame there's no native support for Google Apps, specifically Google Talk and Google Voice, apps I use a lot. The transition will be hard but I think it'll be worthwhile.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ReventonX:
This is one of the device i am aiming, one thing bothered me is the battery life. :(
[Nokia Lumia 920] gilesjuk:
Google, Apple and Microsoft are all competitors. The best thing you can do is stick to standards. You can get a domain and email package for a small fee and be totally independent of all these petty morons.

MetroTalk is a great app for Google Voice. Worth a buck or so.
[Nokia Lumia 920] dodgebizkit:
I have it on good authority that Instagram is going to be baked into the OS at some stage and I hope it's true, even though I currently no longer have a WP.

Gona get flamed... Here

Yes the hardware is howsome

Yes WP8 seems great and I feel it become soon the leading OS somehow a very credible alternative.

But I feel sad it is totally in locked in syndrome

Got it for few bucks but locked to orange FR

No carrier unlock joy so far... Not big deal for me as I got it mainly for development toying... Left windows phone 6 and currently on android and thought it be open I mean just develop and debug on device directly... But nop... Need to have good HW and worth hyper-v conflict with virtual box on my main machine .... Debug on a VM machine.. Yea right...

I don't under that one that buy phone cannot put what he/she wish on it(not taking pirate soft here) but start develop and debug on device directly...and when ready publish.. Instead need to pay $99 that is not the issue really it's just to be forced to do it is not right IMO...

This stuff needs get out of jail else its just be a nice phone and camera plus nice music player nothing as special and open as android is right now. BTW no decent dlna for the moment.

it is amazing, but a completely different animal to android. I defected to jelly bean on the s3 but I really love WP

[AT&T LG Optimus G] electronlove:
I know this has been brought up before to the extent that the LGOG does not officially support wireless charging but has anyone been "bold" enough to disassemble their LGOG to see if charging pads are present in order to fit the phone with a Qi charging receiver? I have not been able to find a tear-down for the phone yet. The teard-own for the LG Nexus shows a thin receiver with a 4 pin pad and I was curious if this may also be present in the LGOG. Any thoughts?

Use the GL to SD!

He moves all the DATA files to the Memory Card!

To use it, just install the GL to SD, install and download the game and DATA, later open GL to SD and click Options> Move Data. Then and only select games that you want to move (only tested with Gameloft games like Dungeon Hunter, Dungeon Hunter 2, NOVA and Modern Combat 4) and give OK! The application will move all Data to SD card!

To start the game no longer open for regular shortcut, use the GL to SD to start them! Before starting the game click in Mount and then Open!

Free space in the memory of S Advance! =)
