I don't know what EOL means but I assume it is a device that isn't being sold. Anyway in the UK it is sold new and secondhand.

I bought my SGP 4.0 with a warranty from BestBuy. What will happen if it is EOL?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] krzee:
It just means that samsung stopped making them. It does not mean that warranties become invalid or that the existing stock suddenly disappeared. I'm sure plenty of people are selling them, but those people are not Samsung or direct Samsung distributors.

Looks like 'everyone' is getting out of the bespoke portable music device business in favour of using your phone....bit of a shame whilst battery life is so poor if used for music, calls, etc....

I'd hate to think what battery life I'd get if I tried to use my S3 for phone calls, wifi, GPS and music playback.....?

EOL = End Of Life

The more causal term is sun-setted as in 'it's being sun- setted'

Hello guys I was seeing an app to reduce core temp but after I set normal core quanity and frecuency and unsinstalled app the phone feels a bit more warm than normal, what could I do?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] donkanmcklaus:
hey, i see that you are from Caracas, Me too, well, first that all, make sure that your phone CPU runs normally, use some CPU info program to see if your cpu works normally, as speed, and shutting down when not need it, maybe that programs set some system parameter changed and yor cpu is always running at max speed or all cores are active even when not using it.

you can also clean your dalvik cache, and use a cleaner program

My friends phone recently started lining up all the text messages of one person on one side and all the text messages from her on the other. They are not alternating in the normal way anymore. Anybody ever experienced this? And how would I fix it?

Also all the new messages automatically get shuffled to the bottom, which is also strange. Is this a bug? Or a setting?

I've tried reloading the ROM/applying gapps again. Erased cache/delvic. But still the same.

Thanks

sounds like aosp sms to me. the new message gets moved to the bottom of the thread or the bottom of all the threads? what rom?

I got it. The format of the messages stayed the same and i assumed the problem wasn't fixed. But reloading the ROM and gapps seemed to fix things nicely... Strange... Never seen this happen before.

This is the main feature on that I miss, the possibility of killing the open app by holding back button.

It's a very simple procedure, and I'm sure that there's Tasker script to do this, but do you know any app that can do this on any rom? I don't have Tasker and don't intend to buy it.

[LG Optimus 2x] 60nine:
which rom are you using? cm10/10.1 has this option

back button has to be pressed for a while (second or two) to kill the foreground application...
[LG Optimus 2x] louiscypherbr:
Ow, I'm sorry. I was saying that this is the main feature I miss on stock roms; I always used this on cm. But what I find funny is that it looks a very simple work to do, and very useful also (e.g. killing that wrong app you opened before its 10s to open), but I can't find it on play.
[LG Optimus 2x] LilProphet:
I miss it too, along with the hold volume to change tracks when standby, anyway stock ics (dmx to be accurate) is much better than cm imo.

[Motorola Atrix 2] apavluck:
Hello. We are using Motorola Atrix 2 phones for a global public health project and we have run into an issue. We are ordering the phones unlocked from Amazon.com and we are receiving two versions, one that has AT&T printed on it and one that does not. The one that does not works with both a US T-mobile sim and a US AT&T sim so it is truly unlocked. However, in Ethiopia when we insert an Ethiopia telecom sim the About Phone shows Baseband Version -UNKNOWN and if I go into More settings the Mobile Networks is grayed out. If I take the same phone and put in a US T-mobile sim I get the Baseband Version info and the Mobile Networks sees the Ethiopia Telecom network.

I flashed the phone from Android 2.3.6 to 4.0.4.

System version 67.21.125.MB865.ATT.en.US

Model number: MB865

Firmware config version is GAS_NA_EDSNICSATT_P006

Build number is 6.7.2-226-EDICS-10

This is a huge problem for us as we have 24 phones which can't be used for the project. We are trying to find out if this is just an Ethiopia Telecom issue or a worldwide (other than the US apparently) problem.

Please help!!

Hi guys. I was trying to install some stuff on my phone last night and I messed it up. I tried to fix it and messed it up even more by formatting the system using advanced settings in CWM, without doing a back up. My phone is now stuck on the splash screen, and I am unable to do anything to it! :( Could someone please help me!?

UPDATE 1

I got news!

google play, navigator, youtube, gmail and maps are now installed and u can launch em without crashing or anything.

the problem is now tho, when u try to use any of them, and try to log in your google account, it keeps looking to sync but it fails.

to install the apps, follow this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2121883

UPDATE 2_

After having the Google apps installed but not allowing me to sync, I flashed via update.zip the G apps via boot,

Now the sd card is not avaliable. And the G apps still don't work.

I have the same problem as techfusions(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cZmyK96ijc&list=UUX4NiBkEQOq4u8t_gUXy-wA&index=1)

the phone is not able to read whats in the sd card 1 either tne #2.

Root explorer reads the sd cards tho and is able to reproduce files, music etc.

but the phone is not able to navigate there thru 'files app',

any idea?

it seems that the sd card is not being formated or anything is just that its not properly adressed in the zophone or something.... any idea?

UPDATE 3

DUAL BOOT ISSUE, i was able to boot, well, not real boot , to ANdroid by just installing an android launcher , then press the 'home' button twice and then u can switch from apple home (ios) to the launcher and have normal android.

Hi

Any News on the Dual boot for this phone like propper dual boot because i was gonna try and put cynogen mod 10 on it but i didn't wanna lose my original IOS rom and btw what is G apps
[General Questions and Answers] mstrkvsh:
hi, G apps are Google apps. navigator, maps, places etc...

My zophone is totally useless now,,,, from gps not working to sd cards damaged and now i can't even install any app....

I cannot flash any ROM to have the phone fixed again because when i connect my phone via USB all the computers i've tried just crashes and shuts down.

so with that, and from the phone not being able to read the sd card, i don't have a way to transfer the update.zip package to be able to flash the rom with the recovery image provided....

damnn..... this phone has been a mess.

I'm ordering the goophone i5.. just gonna flash mayianjay rom's and leave it there.. cos who knows how the chineses designed the file structure of these phones..

advices:

DONT REMOVE ANY APP OR MOVE ANY APP FROM THE IOS -> i did change some apps to SD and then when i reboot the apps disappeared from sysetm and i wasn't allowed to install anything else.

I you buy the zophone.. leave it like it is or you will have a 300$ bricked nice looking phone

as for the android cheap, i think thats the fake zophone if i remeber correctly, if it has 1 gb is fake zophone, and i think that one either has 1gb or is the microsim version and not the nanosim version.

peace

UPDATE

I FIXED IT!!! SUCCESSSS!!!

it's been a week sleeping only 4 hours and stright work ....but.....WORTH IT!

ok so basically my lightnight cable was the issue i just cut and connect a usb normal cable together with the lightnigh cable ( the 8 pin connector) and that gave me acces to the phone.

Then using flashtool and downloading the rom from zophone.hk (translating in chinese and signing up thanks to a chinese friend) i was able to chat (translating via google) with an zophone agent who lead me to a post where i could download the official rom.

after that i connected the phone to the pc , load the files into flashtool then shut down the phone the connecting the phone to usb and then pressing firmware updating, i flashed the official ROM,

but it was android!!!!

i had to install an app called andrew app and move it to the sd card, then execute it, then the password is zophonei5, then it'll install some files and boot THEN VOILA!!!!

zophone factory new rom all fixed PHONE!!

ROM and ANDREW app to switch from android to ios

zophone(dot)hk/bbs/thread-8078-1-1.html

also look for the USB VCOM driver for 6577 and installit before all the process.

you have to be logged in order to download the rom.

about the REAL dual boot system... i just don't care now. im finally happy with my zophone!

now i'll just have to root it and that'd be all!!

GPS i read in the chinese forum, that i might no even have gps.. only locate via internet (if lucky) but it'd be nice to have it!

peace!!

zophone & Windows7

Hello,

I've got a zophone i5 (from dhgate-efit) but when I plug it via usb on my w7 computer, i don't see the zophone contents.

I can see 2 drives letters(1 for each sdcard) but i can't see the contents.

Is there a way to got W7 drivers for zophone i5 ?

[General Questions and Answers] matrix2831:
I'm discover this......And understanding for what backup not work with my phone....

If you not get VIP Card (I'm not get from feelofandroid) with Retail Zophone i5 is like 265-280 USD, you not get the real Zophone, so if you ordering something from feelofandroid (i'm order from im) or chinaecarts or especially androidforcheap - it means you will get no Zophone﻿ device. It may be good as well, but simply not a Zophone (same goes with Goophone brand BTW - only aluminium boxed are genue ones)

So, with a Copy of Copy, no way to get any restore, firmware etc.......I'm get a copy of Zophone !!! Haaaa never get any phone from china !!!

I'm lost 200$ Canadian, now have a copy of copy of Zophone Bricked in the box........ And Chiness have 200$ more dollars !!

Only that I lost IMEI, but that can be fixed as long as you installed "MobileUncle Tools".

I have now a complete ROM with all the apps that I need, both with iOS GUI and ICS GUI...I can switch between the two at will, only extra step is to reenter IMEI.

Hi, yes i'm understand but my phone is Micro Sim version and not Nano Sim, and also, if you flash by Download Mode, this is not a full Firmware but only an MTKDROID Tool Backup...Its not same !!

The full Firmware is Flashed with Firmware Update Button in Flashtool .......
[General Questions and Answers] vnman:
My point is if you look a few pages back there are links to download firmware for both v1 & v2 (v1 is micro SIM &v2 is nano SIM). DO NOT KNOW if the links are still valid.

If you want the "original" firmware that can only be "updated", I do not think you can find one here. The only way to get it is via zophone's forum (only available to those living in China/Hong Kong).
[General Questions and Answers] matrix2831:
HI, this is not firmware V1 & v2, this is just a backup for download mode....

And yes i'm say ! i'm not able to register to Zophone bbs Forum.......

Very disapointed ! Zophone not offer Fair support for this product.....

Goophone have very more support !!

Now i think the only way is to sold my Copy of Zophone for parts.... No way to restore it......No support, no firmware, no recovery !!
[General Questions and Answers] vnman:
Copy of Copy?

I have a goophone also.

So you saying that all the modifying firmwares that available are backup and will not work with your phone? (Since they use "download" instead of update?

How about when you use CWM and install these modifying ROMs? are they backup or full firmware?

All the Goophone (modified) ROMs in my opinion are "backup", so you say that the Goophone i5 has 3 "backup" ROMs means it has more support?

If you do not want the zophone anymore, I can take it off your hands :D
