Thanks IceTea7

Actually I was originally going to buy from them but they seem super shady. The specs for the phones in their descriptions are all copied and pasted from different ones which it just makes the whole purchase process confusing and at the end you never know what you are getting I sent them a few emails but they never Replied which says a lot about their Cust service so they are not trustworthy IMO I would imagine if you get a bad phone I wouldn’t be an easy process to get it replaced since they never answer their emails,

Cheers

I bought a Kiphone i5 from FCT (http://www.fastcardtech.com/Kiphone-i5) and a Goophone i5s from android sale, and the phones where identical except that the one from Android sale has 1 gb ram. Both phones had the fruit logo. FCT didn't include the accessories i had paid for and didn't refund me, so it's definitely a risk ordering from them.

Benchmark

I got my i5s off android sale and i did a benchmark test and it says i have an MT 6589 processor.CPU frequency of 1993.93.I guess that means a dual core at 1 ghz..500 MB memory, 480x854 resolution..Hell i dont know if it is a real goophone or not,but specs are decent.

touch screen

I have a black one and the bottom part of the touch screen is not usable. For example, if I'm typing something pressing the space bar will actually hit the C, V, and B buttons above it. I've tried flashing the stock and custom rom, and it did not fix the problem.

Hello, i have a Goophone i5 and supposedly it has 4 cores and 2gb ram, with antutu shows MT6589 and 1881mb of ram but i think it only has 1gb because free ram was only around 100mb, it has android 4.2. With "system info droid" it also show the same info.

How to know if the specs were real?

The only problem i has with the phone was that i was unable to sync with google my contacts, it comes with Google Play pre-installed and i can run Maps or Gmail, but i cant connect my contacts with the phone, and i was unable to install Google talk, i want to get rooted to do that , but first i need to know the real specs, i suspect is dual core mt6577 and 1gb ram with modified files

Hello,

My black Goophone i5s ordered on April the 26th from android-sale has been received the 15th of May. I had no screen protector in the box but a friend of mine got one (front and back).

I have successfully installed Manuxo ROM (Thanks a lot !), rooted, added the Manuxo tweaks in build.prop files.

The batch i received has apple logo and micro usb cable.

Here are some remarks/questions :

- Phone looks good !

- No Android settings (Only Iphone like settings)

- Can't plug travel charger because of the ground socket -> I use usb charging which is slower

- No problem with 3G configuration (French provider Orange)

- Settings show 32go but when plugged on a computer, it shows 2 storage 1 of 7,38go and one other of 2,04go (With only one folder LOST.DIR)

- On some apps, widgets can't be used because the system says that the app is installed on SD card.

- Is it possible to use the 2,04go folder ? Is is it the internal storage ?

- Can't connect with my account on Youtube, can't download a new version it says the package is incorrect.

- When i go to text, it's always in capital letters and it doesn't revert automatically to lowercase after the first letter

- What is the apk for the iphone like keyboard ? Can it be removed ? I use switfkey, whenever i reboot the phone iphone keyboard is back. I had the same problem with my S3, the workaround was to remove the stock keyboard apk.

- Is it possible to remove the apps that Manuxo has relinked (Passbook -> booking for example) ?

- Can't launch Google Calendar ('Unfortunately Calendar has stopped')

- Can't delete an account :-/

That's all for the moment, any help appreciated, if you have questions do not hesitate.

Translation

Although my Englisch is pretty good, one of my irritations about this phone/rom is that the translations to the other languages than Englisch are far from complete.

The irritation starts with the unlock and powerdown screens. After some days of trial and error I succeeded in translating these to my native language Dutch. It took some time and effort because it where not only text-files, but also some images, that contain text, had to be changed.

I can be helpfull in translating these screens into other languages, but then I have to know the exact words for these translations. So, if you like to have your unlock and powerdown screen in your language, just ask and supplie me with the right translation.

[General Questions and Answers] z_man3007:
Goophone I5s - Hardware mode

Don't bother replacing the Ear Speaker of the phone because the internal connections are very very weak. Once, you open and take off the system board, the power button will stop working and fixing it will be nearly impossible. Please use blue tooth or ear phone during a call which solves the problem. This phones are made very very cheap so there is more possibility that you will brake the phone rather than fixing it. Don't bother. Thanks

It makes just allert sound, but when i have it on silent not even displey bright up.. so im not infomed about new message at all..

I guess it has something to do with services in setiings = general= acessibility, but i cant get into this part of settings its just blicked or so...

[General Questions and Answers] Watslaw:
You better install iPhone Notifications and set up necessary alert mode (totally iphone style!) for these apps. And it really works!

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 AM ----------

These apps raise their own alert sound, but the system itself is not watching for events from them and therefore doesn't catch anything in its own notifications. Sorry to confess but Notification menu in Settings is just a fake. Use third-party app to manage events on your own.

Well, which (name and version of) ROM you have? Under menu group 'Accessibility' both in Mano and Cafix latest ROMs there's a switch 'Accesibility' which can be enabled and is by default disabled. If you don't have it, then you might have to upgrade your ROM [or at least Settings.apk app] to make it appear.

Hello,

Sorry for my bad english ;)

1° You must root your phone (if you have a doubt, download "Root Checker")

2° Copy your apk to your phone (sd card)

3° Download "Root Browser" and run it.

4° As a file explorer, fin the file apk and "copy" (als copy/paste)

5° Go to the folder "system" then "app":

- rename apk to (i.e. : .bak)

- "paste" (repalce existing file)

6° Reboot

I think that's all
