GPS problem

am trying to solve the GPS problem connection, the GPS Works and sometimes can see until 11 satellites with the gpstestplus.apk, but only take the signal of one or two. I am thinking the GPS is very poor.

Is is possible to replace the antenna?

I changed the file “gps.conf” in different ways,

Now I have in my phone the next I found in the forum. I am in Spain.

to use this recovery you need to pass your finger from left side to right side of the screen. It is the same as pressing the power button.

I recommend you change visit the recovery to the “colonel zap blog” http://colonelzap.blogspot.com.es/

Many of these devices come with corrupted CWM recovery.

Download 1 & 2 and unzip.

1) http://ge.tt/6kdIZ2P/v/1

2) http://chinamobiles.org/downloads/zap/i5androidstyle.rar

Open (1) select Flash_tool (Application [approximately 2,832 kb]) and right-click > Run as Administrator.

Click Scatter-loading (on the right hand side beneath Download Agent and search for the Scatter-loading file from (2).

Make sure the "recovery"is ticked.

Click Download (top tool bar) or press (F9).

Make sure the mobile device is turned off and connect it to the PC, wait until the magic completes, unplug from PC and go into recovery.

Hope this makes things simpler to follow.

I ran into the same problem. The enter command is not the power button.

Swipe across the screen where the unlock bar is usually located.

that should select what ever you have highlighted.

Hope I can find some help here..

My goophone i5 doesn't recognise the internal SD card anymore, when I try to download anything I get "no sd card" error message.

When I go to settings > General > Accessibilty > Storage > both "Mount SD card" & "Erase SD card" options are greyed down

In the recovery menu i tried to format sd card and then mount sd card but both failed...

Any advice will be highly appreciated..

Thanks in advance :o
[General Questions and Answers] rafa55:
I had this problem in other phone Gooapple android 2.3.6, after checking many information I take out the SD card and formatted in my computer, it is very important maintain the two partitions of the SD also it is good if you can make a copy of the files before make the format. In this way you can reinstall the files after format, if it not works you will need to use a new SD sometimes the SD fail and need to be replaced.

Hello all

I have a problem whith my goophone i5.

When i am calling, i have a black screen and can't hang up or access to numeric pad.

i tried differents os and roms but still same problem...

anyone know how can i fix it ??

Thanks for your help...

[General Questions and Answers] alduleimi:
Thanks for your reply, as you know it's that easy to take the SD card out of this phone, as I have to take the 2 screws on both sides of the lightning connection then remove the LCD screen, also removing the SD card will void my warranty (I think ?)

so I will leave this as a last option if no other option was available..
[General Questions and Answers] nabimejn:
My charge cable died today, so for the sake of curiosity, I opened it up to see what the issue was.

The connections to the circuit board on the lightning end were "sketchy" at best. The green wire (data I think) was completly off and the ground was hanging on by a thread.

I decided to trim the cable and re-do all 4 connections to the board myself.

My phone is now sitting pretty and charging.

Success has been had!

Where can i find the original full rom? Tia
[General Questions and Answers] Manuxo:
Warranty and other stuff

Hi!

Opening the phone, taking out the screws, etc, makes you lose your warranty.

If your phone is malfunctional do not open it but send it to be replaced.

About the GPS i'm working on a new version of my ROM (v1.2.8) and i'll try to get it fixed.

Another new tweaks are:

- New task bar with new icons and notifications (Weather, Flash, Music Player and Recent Apps)

- Fast and Fluid Rom. Speed increased on every task.

- Camera bug fixed. No more blurried images.

- Robot sound from the speaker fixed.( on the previous rom it sounded like a robot speaking)

- Erase contacts and call history bug fixed.

- Change language bug issue (The app do not crash anymore)

- And other stuff.

I'm still working to get the live wallpapers working, but there is much thing to do that i've not time for everything.

I'll post it soon. For that ones that are already using my earlier rom you don't need to wipe your phone again you just need to install it overwriting the existing one.

The package was sent to missisauga/toronto, so it confirms that android-sale is no scam (for now) the last them is to hope that it has two goophones.

UPDATE: I have made a little progress (sort of).. I download ROM tool box lite (FREE) from the play store and using root browser I navigated to mnt folder and noticed that sdcard2 doesn't have any permissions (under the sdcard2 word it says -----) while sdcard shows as (--rwxr-x) so I changed the permissions for sdcard2 to match sdcard and I was able to copy files to sdcard2.. the problem is when I reboot the phone the permission return back to -----.

Can anyone here please check for me what permission sdcard and sdcard2 have on their phone ? (tip: press and hold Home & Power button for about 3 seconds and it will take a screenshot for you)

Hi all!

I got a functional cable recently and I am new to this so can anyone help me ?

Here's the deal, firstly when I'm trying to change the boot logo, when I go to the system/media and try to change the name of the file,

after renaming it I click "ok" and it says sorry, the operation failed! - I think haven't got permissions..I don't know..

Then, When I'm trying to install the Rom it says : Verification Failed!

Thanks in advance ;)

seems that "the other end" has problem hearing when making the call - "hissing noise" / "robot noise" ....

To be honest am losing hope getting anywhere with that efit guy, he stopped replying to my emails few weeks back... Not sure if I should raise a complaint again him with dhgate with just bite the bullet & open they one myself..

By the time he reply (if he ever do) then ship the phone back to him (I don't expect it to be cheap) then wait for the repaired phone to arrive it might be months !!

Not really sure what to do
[General Questions and Answers] Manuxo:
Android-Sale is NOT a scam.
[General Questions and Answers] Manuxo:
i know how that things are....it will take months for sure.

So....if the sdcard is the only problem you have, be careful and open it with the propper screw driver.

Take additional care removing the display connector. Once you lift the screen you must unplug it carefully. Otherwise you will brake your phone for life :D

Hey, can you link us to the specific cable(s) you bought? I bought about $60 worth of cables and none of them work so far. I'm hesitant about buying anymore. If you can link me to the specific cables you bought, I would appreciate it.

As for your problem, I've read about a few others with the same issue. Which rom are you using? I hope it's not a hardware problem...
[General Questions and Answers] alduleimi:
Thank you very much for your comprehensive reply, when it come to taking things apart I have long history of breaking things and am talking about proper phones like iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, the goophone looks like it been put together by the worst quality possible, every time I plug the charger new scratch appear (I have the black one, wrong choice) so knowing my luck I will break the phone and then I lost the phone and the warranty.

I have now contacted dhgate and they advice me that their after sale department will contact the seller and arrange for a return and refund, so the phone is back in the box and my sim is in my iPhone 3GS until I get my iphone 4 fixed :fingers-crossed:

I had a very interesting experience which I learnt 2 things from it ... 1st after using iOS for nearly 6 years now am not really a fan of android OS (or any other operating system), 2nd nobody makes an iPhone like apple so if you want an iPhone get an iPhone :good:

From a positive point of view it was nice journey and I have met very talented people (like yourself) who dedicate their personal time to help others & make the whole goophone experience much better.

I will definitely continue to keep an eye on the progress you guys are making but I don't think I will go through the whole clone phone experience anytime soon.

Thank you all for your support :o

You're unable to change the bootanimation because your phone is not rooted. Not all of the phones came pre-rooted.

Follow the instructions on youtube user mayiandjay's video to root the phone. Make sure you have the proper drivers installed.

[General Questions and Answers] Manuxo:
You shouldn't say that about android OS and i'm going tell you why.

iOS do not support all bluetooth transfers. So you can only pass files from an iPhone to a iPhone.

iOS do not support java

iOS do not support flash

iOS don't let you put music in your phone without having the stupid iTunes.

You can't replace or intall sd cards on iPhone.

Almost everything for iphone is payed.

All accessories all extremely expensive.

You pay a lot for having the apple on the back. You pay the brand.

People only have an iPhone because is beautiful and because is a fashion smartphone. Not for being the best

The best phone isn't the iphone but the samsung galaxy s3/s4.

iOS has a huge lack of security.

Positive things about iphone?

It is developed based on Objective C instead of JAVA like android, so the operating system is more stable, faster and smoother than android.

and i think that's it! lol

When you buy a new iphone you are buying old technology. All the hardware of the iPhone when it is released is already out of date.

they use a certain hardware to their operating system, so by the time the phone is finished, all the hardware is already old.

You pay for technological garbage made of aluminium with a stable OS.

About its look? definitely is the most beautiful phone on the market but it look very similar since iphone 3. And i'm not just talking about the phone itself but the operating system also. The system do not change since it was released. Android since the froyo version has already changed a lot. In visual and performance. So...i think that android is a way lot better than iOS.

About your experience i understand you..and if this was your first contact with android i understand why you didn't like. Goophone i5 was released half baked. So the software is incomplete. And this phone come with a iOS like operating system, not the stock Android software so..many things are giving errors and are not working propperly.

You should try the samsung galaxy s3 or the note 2 for a few days and you will see the full performance of an android phone with a fantastic hardware.

Soon there will be a new OS available for mobile devices. Ubuntu OS. This is going to change the way we are used to deal with computers and smartphones. If you have an quadcore phone with 1 or 2GB Ram you can have your Desktop and Smartphone in only one device.

When you are at work or outside home you have your smartphone with all task you are used to have on one, but when you arrive home you can connect your phone to a dock and it will become an full operational desktop.

So be prepared. Linux is about to change the world! Finally! :D :D

I installed the ICS pure rom on my goophone and I'm trying to figure how to enable the physical lock button.

I tried to get its key value using Keynumber.apk and map it into mtk-kpd.kl but it seems the button isn't returning any value.

I can see you feel passionate about android OS which it obvious with the great effort you making to improve it...

Believe it or not I have absolutely nothing against android I think it's a great OS it's just not the right OS for me so it basically a matter of taste..

I did give it a shot, probably with the wrong hardware and who knows I might give it another try one day

I finally got a reply from efit asking me to take the phone apart and take the sd card and put it back on or I can send the phone back to him for warranty ?!! I replied about 3 minutes asking if I would lose the warranty if I open the phone but no reply... Probably another couple of weeks before he will reply..

Also, I have noticed he removed all his items listings on dhgate.com so something is not right there !!

Am still in contact with dhgate customer support and hopefully I can arrange for a return & refund but not sure if they still can do as there are some scratches on the body of the phone..
[General Questions and Answers] Chi Am:
The reason is because the ROM 0131 contains Scatter files. You would need to unzip it and flash it just like the way you flashed the CWM recovery. You cannot install 0131 as a zip file using CWM.
