How many screen protectors you applied on your screen without bubbles and how many unsuccessful try?????

[General Questions and Answers] coolsandie:
You need to make sure there is no dust lying over the screen and should have a lot of patience to get it work. Anyways I don't risk myself in applying rather I'd prefer going to shop for them to apply. There are many Youtube Tutorials on this, for making it a success.
[General Questions and Answers] Reamox:
You can renew a totally dusted screen protector with regular duct tape. Just put a staircase layer like on the sticking side and pull off from the one on the lower part. By staircase design I mean sticking every tape part over the upper half of the previous one. I've been using this method for like 5 of them. It doesn't take away the stickiness :)

First, I would like to thank Pogodancer in millions for his STEP by STEP tutorial which helped me to load STOCK ROM on my CUBOT C7 chinese phone. I am sure this tutorial will help others to fix their CUBOT C7 phone. This tutorial is also good for PHONES with SpreadTrum SP6820 on Android 2.3.6/4.0.1 . (Make sure you have the right STOCK ROM for your phone).

HOW TO LOAD STOCK ROM ON YOUR CUBOT C7:

WARNING: YOU ARE DOING THIS PROCESS ON YOUR OWN AND I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF

SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH YOUR PHONE. YOU ARE FULLY RESPONSIBLE DOING THIS PROCEDURE.​

1) Download the CUBOT C7 Stock rom from here:

Stock Rom: www.cubot.net/UploadFile/Soft/C7_root_Software.rar ------ (After downloading the file EXTRACT or UNZIP it)

Here you can find other tools for CUBOT C7 - http://www.cubot.net/Service.aspx (NOTE: This is not required)

2) Download this package it has the USB Driver and Flashing Tools. Install USB Driver...

http://www55.zippyshare.com/v/44295424/file.html

3) Be sure to have installed the correct drivers. For my SC6820-device I see 5 items in Win7-32bit-device-manager (ADB-Composite, 2 x

COM-ports, 2 x USB devices: all without exclamation marks). You can use the drivers from the package folder "SCI-android-usb-driver-jungo-

v4-.rar".

4) Disable just in case your Win7 firewall. (If you are using Windows XP, you don't have to do this step)

5) Launch "ChannelServer.exe" from package folder "CHANNELSERVER" and allow firewall if asked.

6) Start "ResearchDownload.exe" from package folder "ResearchDownload".

7) In ResearchDownload-application chose firmware with first button (for me: 20121006_c909_JF_EAHC_V12.PAC).----- This is the STOCK

ROM file that you have downloaded and Extracted it on STEP 1.

8) Be sure to SET the Baudrate-settings in ResearchDownload-Settings (second button). I recommend 115200.

9) Press the Start (Play) button in ResearchDownload-application (third button).

10) Turn off the phone.

11) Keep holding the "volume down"-key.

12) Without releasing the button "volume down" plug the usb-cord from phone to your PC (install the driver if not done before in step 2).

13) Keep holding down the Volume Down button..... The process of firmware-burning should start now in ResearchDownload-application and

take approximately 1 Minute.

11. Wait until the firmware-flashing has been finished (A green sign appeares + "Passed" is written in ResearchDownload-application).

12. Remove the battery, wait 20 seconds. Put battery back and turn on the phone (first boot may take a while but not more than 5 minutes).

Use this at your own risk.

Cubot C7

Have you tried downloading the 64-bit driver from cubot dot net webside?. Here is the link

Darn, I cant post a link here.... go to cubot dot net website and click on services and download C7 USB Driver.

Once you download the file. Extract it and in there you will find X64 and X86 Folder. Use the drivers from X64 folder cause you are using 64-bit Windows 7.

Cant download the "C7_root_software.rar"

Ok so i just followed another tutorial on how to root the Cubot and unfortunatelz the telephone is stuck on bootcycle for whatever reason. I believe I didnt delete any critical application, but hey ... simply wont boot up.

Now I cant download the C7_root_software from the cubot-net website. Could anyone please upload the software somewhere else so I could download it and load stock ROM on my device. Would be a great help for me.

Thanks in advance to all of those concerned.

Hello guyz, an update after 2 hours. I did successfully load stock ROM on Cubot C7 from ebay. Exactly like the tutorial says. Thanks for the tutorial.

I just thought that as the download from cubot net is reaaaallly slow and I have even requested the ROM myself others may have the same problem so here you go a mega key for the files

C7_root_software: Hp2f3lp-UerqPjPs2pUu-jgzruFj59Dtz0B5ScLZSGE

CUBOT C7 - How to root

The easiest way to root Cubot C7 is using Z4Root.apk tool. Download the pack from the web and copy over to your phones internal storage.

Here are the steps:

1) Install the Z4Root on your phone.

2) Run Z4Root on your phone.

3) First, run Temporary Root, You will see Superuser icon if it ran successfully.

4) Run Z4Root again and this time Run Permanent Root. You phone will boot and you will have your phone permanently rooted.

It's not working

Hello everyone,i did it just like above said,but it doesn't do anything,like the channel server is not connecting,and also the research download is not doing anything.

The drivers are installed,only a yellow triangle with information like signature,is there anyway to do something about it?

Windows 7 64bit,cubot c7 Android 2.3.9.

Now the reason is for the upgrading is that i have two issues,one with the signal is not wel,like cutting voice,from the mic of the phone,when talking through the phone but with the earphones it's much beter.second is that the bluetooth headset is only working for transfering audio like music to the BT earphone,and when talk to the phone i cannot hear or other people cannot hear me at all,it;s like muted the phone!!!!

Any one know about it,i cannot find anything here.

n.b.:tried 3 BT earphones

Also i see when i have a usim in the phone,it's like that there is 3G system!

So after searching i did it!BUT in order to fix things(only fixed BT audio)there are many things that i don't can do....like a sync only apps,and after an restart i must put again a code,or the memory is out,and ofcourse no recovery menu,and other minor issues,How can i restore the rom that there is on there site/support.Maybe someone knows how to update the update.zip without recovery menu?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haretu:
I got an international unlocked samsung note 2 . It only worked for about 40 days and turned its belly up. It can not make phone call anymore. It has a white crossed circle on top and can not detect sim card. Samsung service said I need ship it to UK for repair. I shipped that junk via EMS costing me 45 bucks. Now it got stuck in UK custom and they need me to pay the custom fee. The repair company won't accept this item untill some one pay the custom fee. What is the hell!

I just want to smash that junk into Samsung's fat face
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koalauk:
Sounds just about right for UK as this is the reason uk repair centre refuses to accept international parcel due to the customs issue and the hassle. Your best bet is somehow asking a forum member from uk to help you out and so on. I would help you out but currently out of UK. Or prepay the customs or call their customer helpline and try explaining it to say its going in for repairs etc... good luck.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] symonchristopher:
A bit of caveat emptor --- but you should have purchased it online with someone like Amazon or Mobile City Online. That way you have some sort of exchange recourse. Those places also offer "insurance" or extended warranties that cost about the same as what you paid for shipping that would enable a simple swap for a new equivalent.

I know it's hindsight - but for all of us early adopters, we always run that risk. The Note 2 is the third "get it before anyone else in the USA" phone that I have purchased from a company out of Singapore. The Galaxy S2 was the only phone I had an issue with and it was a simple self-repair of a bad home button.

Best of luck.

so 1 bad experience is the reason why we shouldn't buy a note 2? I honestly have had 0 issues with Samsung ATM. I'll get a defective unit sooner or later. I had 4 iphone4 in the course of a year and every one had a damn bad problem (battery, screen, home button, and sold the last one when they exchanged it brand new). You're bound to get a bad one if you buy enough devices, but saying that you shouldn't buy a device because you got a bad one, and can't it through customs is a little exaggerated, don't u think? Regardless, best of luck! I hope it all works out for you.

Apparently the $4.99 charge caused enough of an uproar with Archos customers and people wanting to use their Video Player (or even just test it out), so now Archos has gone and made an ad-supported version of their Video Player. As a disclaimer I have to say that I do find MX Player to be better overall in general, but I just installed this Archos Video Player (free version, obviously) and I've spent maybe 15 minutes with it on my Nexus 7 and I have to say one word:

Impressive.

Seriously, it is. No, it ain't MX Player but, as soon as I loaded it and then was able to see my network shares in a few seconds flat, then index those folders and grab the cover art - and even subtitles for some files - I was duly impressed as noted.

Second disclaimer: my Wife is deaf so pretty much everything I have already has subtitles but, it was pretty awesome to see this video player reach out for them just the same.

I'd never even heard of this video player before now and I try to keep up with Archos and their products, so I am definitely surprised with this little gem so far. I have some videos that have native DTS soundtracks and of course neither this app nor MX Player can decode DTS natively, they both require additional codecs, and I recently located the DTS codecs for MX Player and they work great. For this Archos Video Player, there's another app/installer called Archos Video All Codecs Plugin, which is also free and it's on Google Play just as well - that took all of 10 seconds to locate and install - you run it one time once it's installed on your device and then the Archos Video Player has access to the codecs.

I then hit my network share again and loaded the previously playable-without-audio files and it works, just as designed. Fantastic experience with this app so far, but I still have MX Player as well. I'll do more testing with various files over the next few days, but if it works as well over time as it does right now, I may just be using this as my primary Android video player from now on.

are you using an UPnP server to share your movies over wifi? Your subtitles are integrated into the video files, or are external files?( .srt usually)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] br0adband:
I'm using the SMB support in the Archos Video Player, I don't use uPNP for anything (not that I have any such devices save for my cable modem/router), pulling MKV containers directly for playback. I embed the subs inside the MKV containers, butfor one or two of the videos that I have that weren't worth putting into MKV containers (they're old AVI files using the Xvid codec) they had sub/idx style subtitles and not srt so the Archos Video Player pulled down an srt version that works just as well.

I do all my own encoding probably 99% of the time and make sure the captions or subtitles are accurate and without issues, embedded inside the MKV containers so I know certain my Wife won't have any problems.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Metallice:
Very nice. Thanks for the share. So far diceplayer and this (both with ffmpeg added) are the only ones to play all my MKVs correctly with hardware decoding.

I run a Plex server from my ancient EeeBox for streaming videos to my Roku. I hadn't bothered buying the app for Android because it was five bucks. The Archos player picked up the Plex server lickity split....yay!
