Here's my problem.

I seem to have data. I see icons from E, 3G to H+. I get arrow which means it's sending data.... However nothing comes down.

Bad modem?

Oh and btw! The Engineering mode shows that I can choose wcdma 900!!1!

Well it was already active. Possible the readon why i got 3g sign.

GPS antenna

Hello everyone,

yufang.yu@iocean.cc doesn't work for me either! Tried it with Gmail, Outlook and corperate webmail. All give me something like: 'cannot be found, does not exist, etc' :(

I learned to life with a non-working GPS but still the idea of navigation on my iOcean hounds me in my dreams. Anyone with a new GPS antenna in The Netherlands who can help me?

Edit: already in contact with iOcean. They reply very fast. 20pcs will be shipped to The Netherlands, I will distribute them to those who need them :)

Can anyone confirm the upgrad with antenna and conductive tape works?! Tried to look up the internet about about working gps after the mod, but even lot of them posted they received the new replacment parts nobody replied with " its working now" So anyone?! Mine will arrive soon and I really would like to know if the mod helps or not.

thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] tmk2404:
Not really. Signal same as before, but mine gps locks signal before and after switching to "better" antenna.
[General Questions and Answers] nggies:
I got large improvement. Before using it I'm always got 2 - 3 satellites (using internet and sambaaa rom also navitel) before locked but after using the new gps antenna I always get 4-6 satellites before locked it and the time was shorter than before to locked it.
[General Questions and Answers] LupusWorax:
I made an antenna mod myself after seeing the original is working in no way. I also receive 5-8 sattelites with ease BUT! when I navigate with google maps for example, it works for a few minutes then total jumps around like crazy the navi voice telling crazy stuff for about a minute and after a sudden its back on track, maybe 10 meters beside the track and so on. I get a fix quite fast but navigation is a pain and drives me crazy cause somehow it works and somehow not. If that isn't really a proper solution for the problem, why would iocean risk their customers to break their phones cause they have no proper knowledge of opening and modding such sensible hardware at all?! If its really going to help in no way this action from ioceans side is just bad for the business and is going to make all the X7 users even more angry.

I am really really curious if that mod helps.

[MENTION=3514944]hg58x[/MENTION] Thanks for the offer, i ordered one through aliexpress for 3e, should be here soon. I really need it too, currently i can get a GPS fix in 5 minutes in an open area, but while driving - not a chance.
[General Questions and Answers] hg58x:
For me the signal is better with the new antenna but it is not perfect. At a sunny day walking is ok but when it rainy in the car you don't get a fix. For good navigation I use my Bluetooth mouse.

[General Questions and Answers] KapriQ:
The same here :) ... I tried everything with HW mod, but i think that there is some interference or smthing like that... When u stick a copper plate on the top of the antenna, and this copper plate is out of the phone, u will see significant difference in SNR... from 20 to 30+ ... Main problem is signal strength SNR. I ordered BT module from ebay, and i hope i will dont have issues with gps anymore :)... Bye (sry for my eng i hope everyone understand what i say:D )
[General Questions and Answers] LupusWorax:
I used to make an antenna myself with aluminium foil. Like you said I also mad a really big one standing out of the top of the phone.

With it I had top reception even inside my flat!!

But on the optical side it looked like a smartphone showing me his long silver tongue, so its a total nogo.

I had about 5 chinaphones now, everyone with mtk prozessor. On 3 of them GPS worked like a charm, very accurate and fast fix even with bad weather, and on the others it worked not at all ( which was even better then the Iocean one is doing now) because there was just no way to fix it so you had to live with it, but on the iocean when it somehow works and somehow not .....it just wont give you the peace knowing its working or not.

Hi I'm new with smartphones (coming from a dumbphone) .... and just ordered an iocean x7hd ... would anyone know if there are any custom roms such as cyanogenmod for it?
[General Questions and Answers] LupusWorax:
www.needrom.com

I would recommend you Gamma Rom from Saamba.
[General Questions and Answers] biatche:
Thanks, needrom.com don't seem to have iocean x7hd listed yet. In time perhaps..

Also, for my understanding... is android and these roms 2 separate things or an all in 1 package? or do roms include the android version that's bundled in the rom?
[General Questions and Answers] LupusWorax:
I only know the Iocean X7 youth, Iocean X7 Pro and the Iocean X7 elite, Gamma rom includes all of them, just tried to lookup the Iocean X7 hd but couldnt find any difference to the three I already named.

All three of them have full HD resolution and I personaly never heard of an Iocean X7 hd as a different phone, maybe the shop you bought it named it different so all the customers see on first spot that it has a hd display?!

Maybe I am wrong but can you show me the link where you bought your X7 hd?!

The Rom contains the Android operation system and all kind of tweaks for better performance, root, and so on.

Sometimes a ROM comes with the google Apps ( maps, gmail, google+, drive ...) and some come without, but you can easily install them over the Playstore.

after the installation of the main ROM ( Operating System)
[General Questions and Answers] biatche:
I'm not able to post links yet, it uses the new mediatek mtk6582 processor. If you google search "iocean x7hd" you should be able to find some reviews on it. especially from gizchina

guess i was wrong to think that i could get a cheap phone and then install any rom i wish on it (CM, omnirom, etc..)
[General Questions and Answers] LupusWorax:
Alright found it, you wouldn't believe how different a search come out with just one space in between X7 and HD ;)

Well, best thing would be to contact sambaa if he isn't already on it to include the new device.

---------- Post added at 08:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 AM ----------

I replaced the Antenna yesterday and also added the conductive tape.

Result it really works!! If done correctly its working flawless and is no compare to before!!!

A very important thing about the mod is adding the conductive tape, and do it exactly like on the description.

don't only place the tape in the corner of the Frame but right on the edge of it, its very important so the HF part on the Mainboard is proper connected to ground. I also cleaned the contact points of the antenna with an alcohol pen. In HF technique a simple fingerprint can change the result of rezeption dramatically.

I am so so happy and released that GPS is working fine now, Now its a real and complete awesome and my favorite smartphone.....for now.....what an octacore you said?! .......;)

Addon: One very important thing about the mod some maybe missed and resulted in a non working GPS again is the conductive fiber part.

On the PDF the image quality is not very good and some of you maybe applied the fibre just in the corner of the frame BUT it has to go over the frame!!! If it is not applied correctly there will be no contact between board and metall layer, so its kinda useless. Added a Picture so you all know what I mean.

Here is a little video about the indoor reception after the mod, yes you heard right indoor :)

Hi,

could anyone get to work the rear camera on any Stock Rom or Custom Rom on IOcean X Elite ?

I ve bought an used X7 Elite with a Stock Rom dated 18-06-2013

No rear cam works ...

I ve flashed some Custom Roms and tried the Gamm Rom 2.0, too,

but no rear cam on stock cam app neighter on Super Camera.

I ve also tried to flash an older Stock dated 05-07-13, but it didn't works.

The SP Flash Tool and the MTK Flashtool only on state 'searching...'

Connect the phone on USB, boot up the phone by Vol + / - / no Vol-Key,

nothing works to find the device.

The USB adb drivers are also installed.

Do you have any ideas to get the rear cam working ?

Or get to find the Phone in SP Flashtool ?

Thx & Greets

If its not a software problem maybe you have to open your iocean.

Theres a simple socket on the mainboard where the camera is plugged in.

iOcean X7 Call not working problem

I have iOcean Youth Turbo edition and it worked great for 4 months. Sometimes people on the other line hear strange noise instead of my voice. Now it suddenly became unusable because there is noise always I try to make a phone call. When I call somebody the connection is successful and I hear the noise and I can hear the person on the other line, but the person on the other line can't hear me. And when somebody calls me I can hear them and I don't hear the noise, but the person on the other line does not hear me and they hear the noise.

I guess the problem is in the network transmission, because I tried the following:

I tried flashing other ROMs, also stock ROM, but not via SP Tools, only flashable zips.

I tried updating Modem files for MTK 6589 which I found on 4PDA.ru forums.

In Engineering mode I tried checking only network modes which are available for my country.

I checked if there is a problem with the microphone and I used other Internet Phone programs like Viber and Skype without problem.

iOcean X7 HD FM Radio outputs mono sound

I bought an iOcean X7 HD smartphone from China (of course;))... I've been testing it for almost a month, most of its functions (as much as I was interested into) are working properly. Today I noticed that the FM Radio app does not decode the stereo FM signal from aerial stations. When using another sources (video, mp3...) I can hear stereo sound in my headphones. This app came with the original ROM and it doesn't have any stereo decoding settings. Anyone has experienced such an issue?

Android ver. is 4.2.2, Kernel ver. 3.4.5, build number iOcean X& 20140408-143139

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

I've found the answer: it seems that iOcean's hardware FM radio is a little bit deaf comparing with my ex dumbphone or my iPod Nano so in order to properly decode the stereo signal it requires really good reception. I switched to some longer cable headphone and now the situation got a little better.
