Does anyone who installed 4.4.2 kitkat on this phone have poor battery life?

I upgraded from gammarom to 4.2.2, yes phone is faster but sometimes freezes and the battery life is poooor, i get 3 Hr max of SOT
[General Questions and Answers] djcasl:
I run the 4.2.2 build from iOcean 20140624-162413 I have the extended battery (3000 mAh with extra case) and can run about 2 days, except when playing hayday, that drains my battery. Can last from morning till evening.

One of the major drains was facebook messages/updates, disabled those and got more battery life.

The KitKat update from iOcean makes my touch really behave very odd (yes checked if I have the V1 of V2 version, I have the V1 edition)

Currently I am hoping for a Lollipop rom or Port since they have it running on the Lenove S850 another MT6582 device.

I don't have much problems with battery life. It last about 1 day (depending on my usages maybe 2, not the extended battery) I did notice that sometimes the screen won't turn of using the power button. When that happens I usually close some apps and it will work again.

IOcean X7 Doesn't Work with US AT&T GSM?

Please help..Got my IOcean X7 today..I live in US. When I put my ATT sim card in the phone, it detects the carrier but no signal x ..can't make calls. check sim management ATT call, video, msg, grey out...

For AT&T here in the US you need a phone with 1900/850mhz GSM which the Iocean x7 support...Don't know why it doesn't work..I have the Haipai i9220 phone which has the same frequency support as the X7 and it works fine with AT&T..Any help and advise would be greatly appreciated. I really like the phone?

Thanks,

Monty

Do you need to do any configuration on your phone to get it to work with your carrier..Do you need to unlock the phone? I live in the US and I use AT&T when I put in the sim card..the phone detects the carrier but no service x signal..:( really like the phone..any advice would be appreciated.. Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] Sambaaa:
I haven't reached 10 posts so I cannot post any link, but you can search here on xda "Motochopper Auto Root" and you'll find a one-click procedure to root any mtk6589 device. You'll just need to unzip a compressed file and run a .bat file to root your phone.

For what concerns recovery, as I said I cannot post you link to .img files, but other guys posted them before in previows posts. There are many different ways to flash custom recovery once you have recovery.img file. The easiest one is to put it in the root of your sd card, download Mobileuncle MTK Tools app from playstore, open it and give it root access, push "Recovery Update" and choose the one you just put in the sd.

To get into recovery you can use Mobileuncle tools or any similar app if you want. Otherwise you can use the procedure described a few post before or type in android terminal:

reboot recovery

[General Questions and Answers] xrayxman:
I am in Canada, and I am having network reception problems too. I did some tests with my phone icoean X7 on sim cards from speakout, fido, and rogers. Note that they should be all on rogers 850/1900 network.

Trial……………………………………………………..Action ................................................................Result

1....................... Speakout sim card on sim slot #2 at home............................................................network detected but no signal

2....................... Speakout sim card (cut) on sim slot #1 at home ..................................................network detected but no signal

3....................... Fido sim card on sim slot #1 & 2 at Fido dealer in a mall ..................................network detected but no signal

4....................... Rogers sim card on sim slot #1 at Rogers dealer #1 (same mall) ..................network detected but no signal

5....................... Rogers sim card on sim slot #1 at Rogers dealer #2 (same mall)...................network detected but no signal

6....................... Rogers sim card on sim slot #1 at Rogers dealer #3 (same mall)...................network detected & connected

7....................... Speakout sim card on sim slot #1 & 2 at Rogers dealer #3 (same mall).........network detected but no signal

8....................... Speakout sim card on sim slot #1 & 2 on the street near my house .................network detected & connected

.

NOTE: the sim cards on trials #4, 5, 6 were not the same. They were borrowed from the dealer, so I could try it on my phone.

Speculations

1.	The 1900 frequency on the phone is working.

2. The 850 frequency on the phone is working.

3.	The 850 frequency is not working with certain sim cards.

Hey guys, is there any way to get this phone to work with T-mobile service? I'm pretty sure it needs the 1700 band but I do not see this on any specification sheet for the phone, so my question is would there be a way to modify the phone to use the 1700? or is that strictly hardware related?

[General Questions and Answers] apad:
Hi Fabio,great to hear it's working. Yes, games seem to response differently. Simple games are good to play, but when I try CSR Racing, also the graphic seem laggy (which is worst than my HTC Desire HD, Adreno 205). I believe it the software too, or maybe the kernel itself. I am exploring several ROM's from China's forum, look good but the problem is the software was all in Chinese! Most of the rom just make light modification, and not a new kernel.
[General Questions and Answers] fjndias:
Hi Apad ,

i did a test and i passed the Eternity Warriors 2 from the sd to the internal storage now the game runs much better than before .

I tested my micro sd card Sandisk 16GB Ultra class 10 and no faults found , write is 6 mb/s read is 18mb/s .

There is a new release of official ROM 0520 which apparently fixes the screen going black and doesn't wake up , it happened to me twice , i have downloaded it but cant figure out how to flash it . :rolleyes:

Have you flashed it ?
[General Questions and Answers] xrayxman:
I took my iocean x7 with me while I was logging the radio signal. Here is the result. (I am on Rogers network). However, my phone couldn't connect to the network 95% of the time :(. It could be that 850 band was not working. Or maybe that my 2G sim card is not compatible with the new phone.

Hi guys --- I'm a newbie here. Thank you so much for the great info about IOcean X7 which I am so tempted to own one. I am in the US and am currently with ATT (and considering switching to T-mobile). One question that I'm SO CONFUSED that what is the Network that this phone supports (one seller on AliExpress states that it's for GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, while another (on AliExpress) states that it's for 2G GSM 800/850/1800/1900MHz). So which one is correct? Or is it true that the same phone is made for difficult area in the world? Also for 3G, some (also on AliExpress) even states that its for WCDM 2100Mhz only ? (Should it be that 3G needs pair bands?).

Please help, I'm interested in the phone and would like to get one that work in the US? Can anyone one shed me some light on this issue (private message or email is welcome if you prefer.) Many thanks in advance.

For 2G, I think both ATT and T-mobile support 850,900,1800, and 1900, so the 800/850/1800/1900 will not work, right?
[General Questions and Answers] bertakuche@aol.com:
iocean x7

I bought this phone from aliexpress earlier this month and it worked with tmobile and att but the problem is it only gets a 2g signal with the 2 carriers and that signal was in very very very limited areas ( i mean like i would get signal in my living room, and outside the tmoble store and nowhere else in the city). after some research i found out that i had bought a dual band verson of the phone with 2g at 1800/1900 and 3g wcdma at 2100mhz and since att 2g and 3g are 850/1900 i had spotty 2g coverage and no 3g. with tmobile 2g is 850/1900 and 3g is 1700/2100. the specs on the version you are getting means you will have 2g signal consistantly but def no 3g since the phone only has a 2100 3g band.
[General Questions and Answers] bighead1:
Thanks, it's good to know. The problem is, the descriptions given by those sellers are so confused and sometimes contradicted that I don't even know if I can trust or not.

I do like the features of the phone, but I am so hesitated to pull my trigger!
