Western Union, very bad and no money back guarantee. I once bought a tablet and a clerk sent nothing. PayPal has given a full refund. Western Union can be anything, the money end somewhere in Nigeria. You can then make the trip. :laugh:

April 22, 2013 I bought the Antelife, paid paypal

April 23, 2013 order complete

April 24, 2013 picked up DHL

April 24, 2013 i9 flew from Honkong to Europ

April 25, 2013 Leipzig Germany

April 26, 2013 Goophone i9 is home (I'm testing)

Antelife I can recommend. Invoice is automatically $ 40e

Battery meter aplication is from google play and I have two sim cards.
[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyInBriz:
Did anyone purchase the I9 from goophone.hk?
[General Questions and Answers] jmcnabb2:
Considering the whole site is illegible even with google translate I doubt anybody here has unless they can read Mandarin.
[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyInBriz:
Yes I'm hoping a friendly chinese who has purchased from there can help us out. If the phone was purchased from them it has a security code on the packaging to verify the phone is genuine. If it is registered on the site then the owner gets VIP status and access to the latest roms, the latest being 0422.
[General Questions and Answers] jmcnabb2:
ah that's right. I forgot all about the rom updates posted on their site. Good thinking. I've scouted some other sites hoping I could find some download links. Needrom.com is the only place I've found so far but their last rom is 4/12.

I would think bbs.ydss.cn would have posted the official rom links but I have a hard enough time translating the tranlated google translation......

[General Questions and Answers] attanjr:
[MENTION=3028000]JohnnyInBriz[/MENTION] what ROM version would you and everyone here suggest for everyday use? criteria would be:

1. stable (or generally stable) for everyday use

2. best or good battery life

3. no SD Bug, i read on the chinese forum (with google translate) that there seems to a SD bug on the goophone i9 original ROM

4. rooted and chinese app removed (if possible)
[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyInBriz:
I'd recommend the rom I linked to above if you have a SD card. All the roms I've tried have been stable and battery life has been similar. The only SD bug to speak of is if you opt for the above rom, the internal memory is not formatted. Just format and the notification doesn't reappear. Use a rom manager to get rid of the chinese apps you don't want.
[General Questions and Answers] jmcnabb2:
Where did you pull that rom from anyways? Keep looking around for roms but only found the two on needrom and that's it.
[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyInBriz:
You need to use SP_Flash_Tool_V3.1304 to flash this rom. As far as I know there is no english recovery for this phone as yet.
[General Questions and Answers] attanjr:
just clarifying, as opposed to just flashing a recovery.img (to get chinese CWM), I'll flash the entire 6GB_413 rom to the goophone i9 then right Sir JohnnyInBriz?

Does any one have pictures from the camera? To see how good it is? Is it 8 mega pixels? Is it clear?

Is the screen really ips? Good colors?

Thanks. This phone looks great I will be ordering one within a few days.
[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyInBriz:
If you have a SD card then you can get ~6GB for apps by installing the rom posted earlier. The trade off is that internal storage is reduced to almost nothing.
[General Questions and Answers] attanjr:
would this mean, if for example i have a 32 gb SD card, only 6GB will be available for apps and the rest unusable?

if that's the case, i wouldn't need to invest in anything larger than an 8GB class 10 sd card, isn't that so?
[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyInBriz:
The 6GB for apps is from the internal 8GB memory. The reason I suggested a SD card is that would be needed for photos, music etc and can be up to 64GB
[General Questions and Answers] attanjr:
great then! i understood differently and thought you'd need only be left with one memory option. thanks for the great piece of information!
[General Questions and Answers] vuger22:
where to find a vcom drivers for this phone?
[General Questions and Answers] zedbest:
My Goophone preset has memories inverted: SD card for internal, internal seen as external SD. With the 6GB rom that I installed already, this means that, when I connect I9 to the computer, I can store files (videos, music) in what remains from the original SD capacity less the data apps folders; I can still store small files in the second drive (32 MB) like photos or documents; 32 MB is what remains from the original 8GB less 669 MB for the rom, less 6.32 GB of the new partition.
[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyInBriz:
Try Settings -Storage - Camera and Recorder Default Memory. Change it to SD card
[General Questions and Answers] zedbest:
Thanks Johnny... I tried already but it doesn't change. I think it's an option just for chosing in which memory I want to install the next apps from now on.

Anyway my inverted memory it's not a problem at all: the important thing is that now, with this new 6GB rom, I can install much more "heavy" applications without reaching full memory like before, regardless the internal/external inversion! :laugh:

Ciao!

No problems here with SIMs. I forgot to mention wiping data, cache, dalvic cache and formatting system before flashing. Always a good idea when flashing a new rom.

Turning on soft keys

I cant use the device without the soft keys. It drives me mad. I found that in the latest 422 update all you have to do is download a root explorer. I use es file explorer and go all the way back to root then system>build.prop open it and towards the bottom there is a line that says ro.show.navigationbar=no, change the no to a yes.

Save the file and reboot the phone. I would make a backup just in case but worked for me.Also the button still does everything it normally does.
[General Questions and Answers] kaobiore:

[General Questions and Answers] zedbest:
This softkeys-trick works on the 6GB rom as well; just tested, then removed: I prefer "EasyTouch" (pre-installed on my I9, but downloadable) or "GMD Gesture Control", not permanent on the display.

I'm still having an issue with not getting a data signal. I wonder is anyone having the same issues? It's making the phone useless to me outside of my home. I've tried to different roms and I have 2 i9's so they can't both be broken?

Hi!

I wonder what kind of issues with 3G you had?

My phone does not switch correctly (or fast) between 2G and 3G networks. Sometimes it never connects to 3G. And it seems that no data can be pulled when the signal (three bars or less) is weak.

Did you had the same issues? And did that "3G fix" work for you?

Thanks.

Re: Fastcardtech

I received my goophone i9 yesterday via DHL. I paid an additional USD 38 for custom duties. Dunno if the customs inspector saw the paper works from China to HK but is was declared as a cellphone valued at USD 60.00 and from HK to Phil it was declared as "batteries" for a cellphone. But I ended paying duties totalling about USD 38.00. I read a lot of lucky buyers from my country who chose EMS (free shipping) which will take maybe twice or thrice as long to deliver (mine totaled almost three (3) weeks to reach me) but when they get to the local mail they sometimes dont pay taxes.

Buyers beware, on the order page of Fatscardtech it says if you "order now" you get two batteries and one leather case, i received the leather case but only one (1) battery, i contacted their service team and i was given the reply that only one battery was included (and not two) in the package, i attached a screen grab of the goophone order page to them circling the two batteries clause. http://www.fastcardtech.com/Goophone-i9 oh and the manual was missing too! am still emailing them, AGAIN, but most likely i won;t get the extra battery. please beware.

On a different note, am liking the goophone, have yet to buy an sd card and install it with apps. but its faster than my samsung note 1! its screen is a little pale lacking contrast but its way more sensitive than my note 1 multitouch!

A follow-up regarding the 3G-issues I had:

I did now the procedure/fix mentioned here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40331329&postcount=22

Now. My phone switches much faster from 3G to 2G. So it doesn't happen anymore that the phone is assigned to 3G but can't pull data (instead it switches to 2G). Switching back from 2G to 3G still does take some time but it's working.

All in all mentioned 3G-fix is not worth to try (at your own risk) ...

i tried all the rom.

So far only LEWA which is able to give a phablet UI. Thats because it start with such UI anyway.

Problem noticed that LEWA use white on white text, so when you pull a widget you cant see a thing until highlighted.

any idea to resolve this?

The rest of the ROM either too buggy or just stick on phone ui.

Still looking for tablet UI though.

Got my goophone in the mail today. I had some problems getting it powered up when I first opened it. Pulled the battery a couple of times and ended rubbing my hand over the battery contacts and it finally came on. Only real complaint I have from messing with the phone is that the base case feels flimsy.

I feel like I'm gonna end up breaking it eventually from opening/changing batteries. Had to fix the buttons on the base case to get the volume buttons working. They weren't aligned properly.

Other than that this is a real smooth phone. Now I just gotta sit here and read up on flashing the 6gb rom.
[General Questions and Answers] jmcnabb2:
I need a little bit of affirmation before I continue. Trying to flash CWM but I want to make sure I'm doing this exactly right. If i'm following the guide on the zopo810 forum do I follow the first set of procedures that flashes everything or should I just flash the one for CWM and then flash the rom through cwm?

This weird flashing process has me nervous. I've done adb flashing processes before on my older phones but never something that requires pulling and insert batteries as part of the process.
[General Questions and Answers] mukyo:
which rom are you talking about?

lets talk about rom from mega.

you know the different right?

i have tried all rom there. all is ok. with minor bug.

but i would give a thumb to either 0422 or lewa's.

0422 please use spflash. use the one from mega also.

older version will fail, soc not supported.

turn off phone, unplugged usb.

start spflash, load scatter from the rom folder you wanted

hold vol down, plug usb

device detected popup

install usb driver for mtk preloader, also from mega

then flash will start, ended with green circle popup on pc

lewa please use cwm install update from sdcard.

menu2 -> menu1 -> locate the rom feom sdcard

wait

last menu, to go back to 1st screen

wipe data menu4?

wipe cache menu5?

wipe dalvik 2ndToLast menu -> pick the one with dalvik

return to 1st screen pick menu1 to reboot

if fail flash again spflash

i think it is pretty much unbrickable

Something isn't working when I try it. Turn the phone off. Loaded the scatter file and hit download. Connected the usb while holding down and just brings me into "factory mode" and doesn't do anything. Problem is the diriver for the preloader doesn't install correctly when I insert my phone. Just says driver not installed.

Do i need usb debugging on or off?

EDIT: Got CWM flashed. Going to flash a rom here soon once I get the current backed up. Thanks for the help!

The first thing I had wrong was usb debugging was disabled on my phone since I was also looking at the zopo forum for flashing and that was like the first thing it said to do so I re-enabled it and it flashed CWM fine.

Then after that I just wasn't holding the volume down. I got it all flashed though. Far less painless that I thought it would be/should have been.

Issues With Phone

Why do you guys want to change the rom for? Also didn't you guys get a rooted phone when you received it? I received mines like in the middle of last month (it came rooted when I bought it) and I am having issues using it as a phone. I'm having trouble sending text messages and calling. With the texts I have like a 60% success in sending. Calls on the other hand almost never work. I do receive calls but I can't make calls and if it does call, usually the person on the other side can't hear me. Anyone else have issues similar to mines?
