hey guys,

Im about to order the white goophone i5s android sale but am hesitating.

from one of the previous posts, it appears that the white and black are completely different phones (look at this video at 1:06 of the black goophone i5s, notice how it has TWO sensors at the front): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vHQP1Mk2nk

Clones with one one sensor are usually zohpones or some other clone.

BTW i think android-sale are selling fake goophones, im chinese so from what i read on chinese forums;

there is a new model called goophone i5s:

- 960*540 px

-mt6577

-8 megapixel

-1g ram

heres some pics

this is completely different to what android sale is selling... what are your opinoins?

[General Questions and Answers] eliot_11:
I can not comment on the number of sensors because I have here the goophone. But I think that picture may be wrong, because these are the exact specifications of the Goophone i5 not Goophone i5S. The Goophone the i5s are lower because it is cheaper

Hello!

This is my first post. I recently bought the GooPhone i5s and I arrived yesterday. I installed a new ROM, and now has fewer Chinese apps, but the touch screen does not work, it works in some areas, for example, if I hit the menu button down the notification bar, I have to slide to unlock it by pressing on the hour, not if I mean it's like he was wrongly calibrated, podre edit some parameters or do something about it?

Thanks for the help and sorry for my bad English, I'm Spanish

White version is not compatible with new ROM yet. You need to install stock ROM , here is link : https://mega.co.nz/#!nhYwiDqQ!PPf0Yx...3cgiqsc0CqMqZM

install it as you installed new ROM and you will be fine.

I got another problem now, i literally can see how battery is dropping. Like from 95 to 85 in just a minute's and when i put phone in charger it's like 1% in 2,3mins , totally slow. Any idea what drains battery so much that even in charger it takes lifetime to charge back to 100%?

Goophone I5s - Hardware mode

Can you take pictures of your phone while its open because I cannot tell you anything until I see it. Does your phone turns on? Probably your phone is on BACK LIGHT mode means you have plugged in your display after your phone was turned on. First, you need to connect the charging board to the system board and than connect the display to the system board and than you turn on your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] EduSanRe:
It works perfectly. Thank you so much fuDev1

Wait a minute....you said the ribbon is located at the bottom right corner of the phone, right? That's the GPS cable that connects to one of the bottom screw on the case. That shouldn't cause any issue to turn on your phone. There is another ribbon that connects your charging port and mic to the system board. If that cable is broken, your phone will not turn on. So, I am bit confused here. Please take a picture. Thanks

Hello, I've been looking at more pages of sale (other than Android-out) of Goophone i5 and i5s, and I've noticed that there are many copies.

I wonder if our Goophone is original. By the sticker "Iploxe" and the poor quality of the headphones. How are your headphones? You can upload a photo? Also according to the Android-sale video, the charger is the same as the iPhone 5 and not the microusb that I have..

Thanks so much

Goophone I5s

I don't understand how can they put such a poor speaker in a phone which is $149. I have bought a phone from another website and it was only $67 and that phone had much better speaker than this phone. This is the most essential and basic feature of a phone, what's the point of having a phone if I can't hear properly while I am in a call. It is really very much frustrating and annoying. It's like, I have a iPhone 5 but I cannot use it because I can barely hear what other person is saying. :mad:

Turn off your phone completely first and than put your sim card. Turn your phone back on and you should be good to go.

Orignal Back buttons

Hello,

Thanks for all of the work done here !

I've got some questions:

I've flashed with the last version of the rom (btw, it works great).

I would like to:

- Put the original lock screen

- Put the orignal Android's back buttons (I think holding the home key is not very easy)

- Delete the iOS theme

Any idea how to do that ?

Thanks !:fingers-crossed:

[General Questions and Answers] Telethon:
This is very strange and slightly unsettling. The only two stores I have found so far that ship the Goophone i5S are android-sale and fastcardtech. But both seem to sell the "old i5S" model with the 854 resolution display. From what I've seen so far the models received from android-sale come with the fruit logo, so are they even original Goophones? Because I thought Goophone only shipped with their Bee logo now.

I wonder how this form will compare to the more expensive Goophone i5 N2 and how stable it'll be with Manuxo's finished ROM. Could anyone perhaps post a video review of the device on YouTube?
[General Questions and Answers] z_man3007:

I have bought my Goophone i5s from Android-sale.com and mine came with a sticker on the back of the phone and I peeled it off which exposed the Apple logo. Same as iPhone 5.

I have a strange problem now, on my phone when I play any audio or video, I can't hear any sound. If I plug in ear piece I can hear the sound clearly, even when I receive phone calls, I don't hear any sound. When I press Vol + or Vol - buttons, I only see volume bar going up and down but no sound on the speaker. When my phone bricked, I loaded Hero 2000+ phones Rom and I could still hear the sound when I used to press Vol + or Vol - button. But with stock Rom for some reason the speaker volume is not working. I have checked all the volume settings under system and Audio. I have all the audio sound to the max. My stock Rom that came with my phone was different, the phone ring tones names were in English. Anyone has any suggestion, please let me know. If anyone having same problem after loading the stock Rom? I am happy that my phone is back to normal. It's just that the speaker sound issue.

Hi,

Felt I had to make the transition from simply lurking around this thread for more information to actively thanking you for helping add a great deal of functionality to this phone.

The last piece in the puzzle (for many of us I imagine) would be finding a way off removing the Chinese bloatware.

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this but I'm receiving Chinese SPAM sms... hardly reassuring.

My battery percentage also drops very hard and fast. If I reboot the phone I often loose 30% or more but if I load it for a second it jumps back to the real battery %.

But it's only 1500MHz so it is clear why you have to load your phone at least one time per day.
[General Questions and Answers] fuDev1:
I notice that strange behaviour, when i reboot i loose around 10-20% instantly, than somehow dops stop's ( look's like that's where it freeze's and calibrate to original battery state ) and after few mins massive drops are back. This is pretty bad. Battery in this phone is soldered same as in older clones? It's impossible to change it for better one with more capacity? It's not normal that i will play with phone for half a hour and it's gone from 90% to 2% :eek:
[General Questions and Answers] IceTea7:
Of course this is not normal.

I would change the battery but I don't want to open the phone.

It was the same with the Hero H2000+. Maybe it's a fail at chinese phones.

But as I said the capacity isn't that high.
