i think i have lost the deep sleep again (maybe becouse i made the factory reset)

now my phone sleeps at 1200mhz

i have the build.prop and MTKnoLED enabled but still

hmm i am suspecting that the phone doesnt sleep when low on battery (bellow 15%) becouse maybe the low battery led still is active ... will test more
[Android General] giusprenc:
....I was also experiencing this after a while with the needrom ROM; that's why I am trying the LeWa ROM, that seems to correctly handle the issue.

However I am still lost with the GPS: I tried all advices suggested here....

Today I got a second B94M with old 4.1.2 Rom (20130304 installed). Restored directly Twrp-Backup ( Lewaport cmod04) from my other device and had problems with bootanimation and deep sleep not working. While searching fr the difference between the both devices I remember that the uboot was not backed up and after restoring a correct uboot ( 4.2.1 stock ), wipe dalvik and cache now the new device works like expected ;)

So my conclusion, there must be something in the uboot needed for the device for powerstates,.... Perhaps someone has the knowledge on this topic and can explain to us in detail,...

Best regards

PS: anyway next Lewaport will flash the "correct" uboot by default ;)
[Android General] mite_jan:
i think i have found the issue to the battery not showing corectly (after restart it was always showing me 1%) and deepsleep issue (at least i think this is it)

you have a process running at startup called batterywarning disable it

or maybe it was something else i have disabled

also a lot of things start at booting disable those you dont use frequently

so far i have only 2 issues

1.autobrightness doesnt work

2.charging while screen off at 1200mhz CPU (i have made a profile with setcpu to decrease it to 497 but still this is not the perfect solution)

did you found any solutions to the ones mentioned
[Android General] chenrp:
i see many ROM and MOD for Quad version... do you know where can i find ROM for Dual Core version? (4.2.1)??
[Android General] Neodragon12:
For the auto brightness, it's an issue with the Light sensor. I've tested it with z-device and Sensor List. Same results -> no reaction.
[Android General] mite_jan:
there are patches that can fix this but requires some time and knowledge

this is a good tutorial

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130336

btw i have noticed that when the phone is charging and try to record something with sound recorder and playback , you can hear the buzzing , but unpluged the sound is good , can you confirm this
[Android General] Neodragon12:
No problem for me, tested with Smart voice recorder
[Android General] cmoegele:
Autobrightness with Lewa is working, but for me its not that important.

Tapatalkmessage sent from Star B94M quad :)
[Android General] mite_jan:
maybe you can't hear it the difference is not so big

just watch the line that goes to the right when there is voice with soundrecorder

when unplugged it is constant

when charging it is jumping a little

it's like it is more sensitive to the sound that way and values are bigger
[Android General] Neodragon12:
Me too ^^ .. but it's good to have a 100% working device.

I don't understand what the problem is. Light sensor and proximity sensor are the same device cm36283. Proximity works fine, not the light. It's strange...
[Android General] mite_jan:
a friend of mine told me he was hearing me badly and like hearing his voice

but i have made another call and i think it was fine hmm

btw how did you opened the headset and took the microphone (did you opened it with knife ? )

is it possible to open it take the microphone and then assembly it probably with super glue and have working headphones ?
[Android General] kecsap:
With a knife or I used my fingers, I don't remember, but it is not glued. After taking out the microphone, the headset did not work anymore as a headphone for me.

WIFI Tethering problem -- additional investigation

Hi All,

I'm still trying to understand the reason behind my tethering problem (PC connects to cellphone, but B94 doesn't route PC correctly).

Let's start with the routing information:

130|shell@android:/ $ ip route show

default via 10.161.159.79 dev ccmni0 scope link

10.161.159.79 dev ccmni0 scope link

192.168.43.0/24 dev ap0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.43.1

10.161.159.79 is the external gateway accessed by the cellphone. My PC can ping it, once connected to B94.

Please note that the tether local network is exposed by the interface "ap0". There seems to be some problem with ap0. I can see it listed in /sys/class/net/, but it's not handled by iptables: "iptables -S" doesn't list it, while the following rule should be present:

iptables -A -i ap0 -o ccmni0 -j ACCEPT

unfortunately, such command gives the following error:

Bad argument `ap0'

So, this is the summary:

- B94 creates the local network 192.168.43.0/24 on ap0

- the gateway is accessible

- the forwarding rule cannot be added for some problem concerning ap0

Any idea?

Thanks a lot
[Android General] Neodragon12:

Thanks for the tips of installation of gapps 4.1.2!!

I installed it and so far cannot see if it works cuz even i switch off the wifi, the location point to my previous wifi located position.... but anyway, i got my GTalk back!

Now 2 problems to solve:

1) Poor MIC quality, muffling sound.. i guess need to go to a mobile repairer to get it replaced with a good piece..

2) 3g data problem.. maybe the next version of baseband should do better..

I have problems with microphone too. People who call me hear from afar.

I tried at EngeneerMode (*#*#3646633#*#*)

Hardware Testing -> Audio -> Normal mode ->

Mic and level L0-90 , L1-95, L2-70, L3-170, L4-170, L5-170, L6-170

I think the mic is better but not perfect.

Does anyone have a description of setting all EngeneerMode?
[Android General] cmoegele:
Did you use Mobileuncletools ( available at playstore ) there you have everything sorted in menues.

[Android General] angryfish99:
Well i don't think that's a software problem, whatever value i set all i got is muffling sound, you can use the voice recorder and select 'high quality' recording then test the performance of the MIC.

If I try to record with the earphone+mic attached in the box, it works perfect, recorded sound is clear the crispy. But if i record with the build-in MIC, it's crappy....

That's why i was saying need to get a good piece to replace it... i was sort of under impression that someone in this forum actually has done it, maybe it was done to a dual core version.. anyway it's doable but the cost may be considerable comparing to the phone.. you know, we had the phone for $170-$180.. guess no one would pay for extra $50 to get the mic fixed...
[Android General] radekfor:
It looks like hardware problems.

Are You skilled to disassemble a phone?

If yes, You could check microphone connectors and take a photos inside phone :)

Cannot make/receive calls

Hi all,

I just received this phone yesterday. However, I am not able to make/receive calls consistently. The signal strength bar is at 3. Once in a while outgoing call works, but the other person cannot hear me. If someone tries to call me, I get no ring.

Anyone else had this issue? Is this a bad piece or is there a possible solution? Do I need to have 2 SIMs in for it to work correctly?

Thanks for your help!

PS: I have tried the same SIM in another phone and it works fine.
[Android General] fmehrtens:
location

Yep. Sometimes it's the simple things. Some of us were having trouble with network location, or Google maps finding us with cell towers. Looks like this may have fixed it. I did not know where the GPS settings were until you said so. Will know for sure later when I leave the house.

Thank You!

Still working on the Amazon app thing.

Yes. I am told that I sound muffled also when speaking on phone. Had my wife call me on it and it is. This phone may get returned......
[Android General] bradstallion:
concerning cell towers localization, you must install gapps as described at page 4 (if I'm not wrong) of this thread!

[Android General] cmoegele:
I installed Amazon Mobile for Android app and it works flawless.

Don´t know whats getting wrong.

But if I have problems I first make Nandroid Backup in CWM-Recovery and after this Factory reset and wipe dalvik cache to get a clean system again.

After two reboots ( one for first start, second for well expanded system ) try to install critical apps again and doublecheck after every Installation functionality of your phone. If you now have same problems again, there could be a possibility of a hardware or firmware bug.
[Android General] thnam35:
help me please

hello!

i rooted successfully but i deleled file build.prop, now it's not start, can you share me this rom

my friend use the phone same me, can i backup it to sd card and restore it for my phone?

thanks!
[Android General] cmoegele:
You can pull files with adb to your device. If you don´t know look for howtos and learn little more about your device ;)

Otherwise would be best to flash the complete origin image https://disk.yandex.ru/public/?hash=/iyKyojWn4sjN1Kor1VFB%2BRslCDhXR/NKbqSV%2BFF0m0%3D with SPFTools.

Attached is my Build.Prop
[Android General] thnam35:
how can i flash it by flash tool

i downloaded that file (279 МБ), but i don't know how to flash, can you help me by step?

thanks for your help
[Android General] cmoegele:
Sorry m8, I´m not a developer and an expert to make simple and save update.zip for easy flashing in CWM-Recovery. Therefore I will not help you by step how to flash. These are basics. Try the search function, there are thousands of tutorials around howto flash MTK devices with this SPFTools. Look for e.g Bruno Martins Blogs and Tutorials and read carefully. (MTK 6589 is similar flash procedure like 6577 / 6575 )

There is always some risk to brick your phone, if you don´t know what doing right!!!

So please do yourself a favour and try to understand more details of this process and your phone, its not that difficult.

Btw. do you have android-sdk running, if yes first try with adb shell to pull the missing file to your device as written above, instrucions how to do everywhere. Better spend some hours now and not later with discussion to your reseller about refunds.

PS: if you absolutly stuck, I can offer you a livesession with teamviewer and we try together.

OK, here comes a really smooth working Lewaport cmod06 based on Amoi N828 13.05.10 from last Friday.

Hardware working well and for short tests I see good battery lifetime, autobrightness, bluetooth, gps working as expected.

For Install :

1. make full BACKUP in CWM or TWRP including recovery!!!

2. do Factory reset, wipe data, system and cache partitions to have a really clean device

3. Install cmod06.zip

4. if your lacy you can restore data partition, coming from 4.2.1 there should be no problems, otherwise make factory reset.

Known bugs:

Sometimes bluetooth does not work proberly in this case Factory reset solves the problem.

Seems to be permission problem and my workaround does not work in 100%.

You can flash logo.bin with SPFTools and 4.2.1 FLashfiles, or wait until I upload an update.zip for Install with Recovery, or ou can use Tool Logobuilder from Russian friend and make your own custom Logo ;)

[Android General] bradstallion:
thanks! now the mac address is fixed! Unfortunately tethering still doesn't work. I'll keep investigating...
[Android General] cmoegele:
Here is screenshot with camera.

For the compass app I don´t understand your intention, as far as I know the phone does not have a magneticsensor, if yes there is no support in the Stock and the lewarom for now. But if you think so we can try to include drivers for this,...

And for the GPS its working slightly better than stock ( but thats my personal impression ).

Btw. can someone help me with permission settings ?

The problem for Bluetooth is caused by my workaround for the Wifi-fix. After copying files I have to set the correct permissions, and there is something wrong which does not allow the BT-device to write in the same folder ( I´m not experience enough in linux to find the gid for nvram )

To get BT working just make Factory reset after first start.
[Android General] mite_jan:
yes mate there is a magnetic sensor inside the phone and my phone came with supercompass app

when they make stable release from the AMOI from Lewa i may throw you my updated firmware with CWM if it will be of any use

btw for all those people who have problems with microphone like (the person on the other side hear his voice , muffling sound , low sound)

don't think you can work it out with removing the tape or rubber on the microphone or even with engineering mode, basically sometimes i had "good" calls sometimes disaster and i was ashamed to press the call button when someone was ringing me

i went to the mobile shop and the technician told me that those are chinesse low quality microphones and he had this one and he soldered wires to it

the microphone now is perfect

Good, proper camera drivers. Now compass waiting.

Btw how can i manually install magnetic sensor driver?
[Android General] cmoegele:
If you give me link with Rom where you know the sensor is working, i try to install it with cmod07.

In my cmods, there are exactly the same drivers used like in Stock rom 4.2.1 ( Pulid/Ask ), and I compared it to the THL W8 image which has additional magnetic sensor drivers.

For Gtalk install gapps again, I will install them per default in next cmod.

Do you wish to have S-voice or some other Samsung apps included ?
[Android General] Neodragon12:
Hi, i've just noticed that the tethering is not working if IPv4 and IPv6 are both quoted. I'm just only using IPv4, and it works only like that ^^
[Android General] kecsap:
When I started to use my phone, my call parties kept complaining low volume and distorted voice. After I soldered the headset's microphone, the problems are gone. Nobody complains about bad voice quality or low volume on the other side and they confirm the satisfactory quality.

It is a shame that the manufacturer spared on the microphone a few dollar cents... :-|

On the other way, I got a secondary battery for the phone from pandawill. The joke is that the battery does not fit in the phone, it is bigger by ~1 millimeter in both width and height. Later I will try to sand the battery cover to fit in. :-|

The stock camera app (stock 4.1.2) can't make HDR images, it saves 1 kB big, invalid file. Just let you know, I bought/use Snap Camera HDR app which is superior compared to any other camera app on Android in my opinion. It has HDR capture mode and quick access for many settings. The only need is to set some settings for the video mode manually (resolution, codecs) to make it work on our phone.

[Android General] giusprenc:
....thanks for the advice: I already tried everything, but nothing seems to work. I suspect that the problem is that I get two different MAC addresses for the wlan0 and ap0 interfaces (the latter activated when I start the tethering):

Here is an extract from netcfg:

BEFORE starting tether

wlan0 UP 192.168.0.4/24 0x00001043 d0:b3:3f:6b:ef:de

AFTER starting tether

wlan0 DOWN 0.0.0.0/0 0x00001002 d0:b3:3f:6b:ef:de

ap0 UP 192.168.43.1/24 0x00001043 d2:b3:3f:6b:ef:de

This is not related to the changing MAC address in #1 post: I already applied that fix, and now my MAC address is always the same (d0:b3:3f:6b:ef:de) and I do not get any more the NVRAM error.

Anyway, this seems a very odd issue and apparently not quite common!! :crying:

[Android General] slein:
Hi folks!

There is no use in using a different charger. The phone never draws more than 460mA to stay within USB specifications.

This is stated in the driver sources and my own measurements showed the same thing.

As for bad voice quality, please see post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40939871&postcount=362

IMHO bad 3G, dropped calls and bad voice quality are caused by the same problem: bad parameters for the analog side

of 3g/gsm modem. At least on my phone there were glitches from transmission errors/too low bandwidth. Sounded like

bad reception on digital sattelite TV or too low bitrate mp3 music. Sounds much better now with the zopo parameters.

I may be wrong though or its just my phone :)
[Android General] mite_jan:
isn't that the same procedure like changing the modem.img file

basically it only changes the baseband version

i am searching to reduce the background noise when talking in calls

any ideas? someting in the engineering menu ?
[Android General] emard:
Regarding modem.img file, usually called RADIOMODULE, here is the link to a new one for 6589 dated 08.05.2013 http://www.ge.tt/9ppWTkg/v/0?c. Unzip this archive and copy the file inside to /system/etc/firmware with replacement and set permissions like Г (rw-r-r from left top to bottom), reboot your phone.
[Android General] mite_jan:
yes i have already changed that and it is working fine

but still doesn't change the interfierence when making calls

with what can i isolate the microphone
[Android General] slein:
Looks like i misunderstood the post i quoted :silly:

Theres 2 pdf files in the download, at least one of them explains how to update parameters.

The tool says the parameter database doesn't fit the B943, but it seems to work.

IMHO the modem firmware uses a block of NVRAM to store configuration data, the database

file helps the tool to translate addresses in that NVRAM to readable values.

Look at the ZP810.ini file (text), make a backup of your parameters and compare.
[Android General] cmoegele:
Did you make factory reset and test it with clean rom without any mods and apps ?

I had similar problem when i restored my old data-backup.

Look, I have no problems with the mike. But the guys at the russian forum http://forum.china-iphone.ru/post1071628.html#p1071628 were discussing that matter quite extensively. One thing I remember is something about electric-insulating adhesive tape.
[Android General] mite_jan:
