Sorry I didnt mean to spam wrong thread. But I had asked which model was the quad core or dual core version earlier in the thread. I thought this thread dealt with both models. I did search and found the thread you posted but unfortunately they don't have Roms. Thanks for telling me.:) Hope you guys have good developments with this version of Star phone.
[Android General] diogoquintao:
Still no response from the FastCardTech support...

They started to avoid me... or simply ignore my emails and contacts.

They didn't even gave me the shipping address to return the phone.

These china buisness is only good if you don't have any problems... The support simply doesn't exist.
[Android General] Stuffed-up:
Hello

I'm in the process or doing the new version in TWRP recovery as I type this.

Make sure you backup your IMEI number or change it manually with Mobile-uncle tool from play-store.

Will post link after I've done a factory reset in English.

Hope this helps as I had to download the image from the RU wed site as I had issues with other images of the updated version.

Just remember to say thanks.

MIZ Z1 back to 4.1

Hello everybody,

i have read the entire post and because i'm not an expert i would like your advice if possible before i begin. I bought a MIZ Z1 MTK6589 Quad Core with Android 4.2.1 and this software is AWFULL!!! The battery is going down like a maniac, the charging time is more than 7hours everytime and it can go down within 30-40minutes when i have open the Google Maps and all this, when i have them closed it is much better, since i had in my last phone android 4.1 that it was by far better than the 4.2.1 and i have noticed that my phone came with two android versions i would like to try to add android 4.1 in my phone. The problem is that i'm newbie:))) and i can't help it with all this information you have here is mix and confused for me. Is there any step by step guide how to add the 4.1 to my phone? I found out how to root my phone(i think) and after that i'm lost...

PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...:))) :))) :)))
[Android General] ChuSGC:
Is this the same as "HDC B943"?

I am really interested in buying one since there's the possibility to root it and to flash custom roms.

Thank you,

Is there a fix yet for the CPU running at maximum clock during charging?
[Android General] mite_jan:
you can only limit it with setcpu to 300mhz i think while screen is off
[Android General] preslavchooo:
Good question, and I want to know this.
[Android General] kecsap:
I did a short test and I am pretty sure it is not supported. I tried an OTG cable came with my Freelander tablet (aka Hyundai T7s) and the USB mouse even does not get power when it is connected to the phone. (The same cable+mouse works with the tablet).

do you know a free alternative to setcpu? Thanks a lot!
[Android General] cyrusalmighty:
I ONLY use No-Frills which is free. Go to market and get it.:)

Edit* how can you change CPU? I didn't know stock kernel supports overclocking. Are there custom kernels? Is this because boot loader is unlocked? :confused:
[Android General] bradstallion:
thanks, does it permit to set cpu clock when screen is off?

I suppose this question is not for me :)

Mite_jan Hello, I tried to install LeWaport_Star_B94M_22.05.13_cm08. Everything is fine, but the phone does not detect any signal and the dual sim management is disabled. Can you help me? Thank you. Andrea. PS: there is too the possibility of having the system in Italian?
[Android General] cmoegele:
The new baseband seems to be ****, sometimes it works sometimes not. Perhaps try Factory reset and try again. Dual Sim is working perfect.

Sometimes I had to enable Bluetooth, Wlan, GPS Flightmode on / off and everything is ok again.

After factory reset some apps are missing, if you need them extract the cm08 file and copy files from data to your data folder on the phone, or make titanium backup before you reset,...

Hopefully I have time this weekend to update ;) ( downgrade baseband ,... )
[Android General] veradg:

[Android General] Darkrevange:
Same here...I tried factory reset and nothing... i have no signal :)

I didnt had signal too but havent tried changing the radio becouse the fm was not working too

Downgrade modem.img to lower version and see if something changes

[Android General] emard:
Do you mean Phone.apk is missing? Then you wouldn't be able to start your system at all. Power button + volume down makes a snapshot but not reset anything, by any means. If it's really a Phone.apk problem and you miraculously use your phone then extract it from system.img of JB 4.2 firmware and put into /system/app folder or better reflash your phone! Sorry, I didn't look down your post. But anyhow it could be useful for someone else.

Star B94M Call Dropping

Hi Just bought a Star B94M which came with Jelly Bean 4.2.1 from the factory.

I have a problem when 3G is enabled I have voice calls being dropped.

I live in the UK (Leicester) it is on the Vodafone network, this problem happens in various places not just in one location.

Carried out speed test on the data side with 3g this hangs and freezes 6 out of 10 times, if I disable the 3g the speed is slow but constant does not hang or freeze and voice calls are good.

I've checked the following APN settings, tried in various modes GSM/WCDM Auto WCDM Preferred, GSM/WCDM Auto, WCDM only.

The best combination is GSM only and 3g disabled.

Are there any settings I can change to make the 3g better.

The phone came with 4.2.1 it is not rooted and I don't really want to root the phone just in case I have to send it back, as it is only 1 week old.

Also noticed that the battery would indicate 60% and a few minutes later show 14% and starts to warn, needs charging, if you switch off and remove the battery and then put back the indicator will go back to 60%

Regards Assad

[Android General] emard:
What exactly were you trying to flash using recovery of FlashTools? Depending on your answer to my question, you might ignore that notification, click YES and continue flashing.
[Android General] 8 -Ƀɪד_Įƞƒɨɖɘɭ:
Hi, thanks for replying, I was trying to flash a recovery I have click yes but the program just sits idle with no progress for at least 20 min, I assume that is not normal?
[Android General] emard:
I presume you have recovery.img (CWM or TWRP) ported for youe device. If you use FlashTools, you should take firmware for your gadget intended for FlashTools and replace recovery.img file there with the one representing CWM or TWRP. Then start FlashTools choose scatter....txt, uncheck all boxes but preloader and recovery, press Download, press Yes on warning notification and attach your phone to USB (taking into account the rules of connection for your device). Wait couple of moments for the drivers to catch and then you'll see red line, violet line, yellow line and finally green circle

Another method is to flash recovery by means of MobileUncle Tools. Considering you have rooted the phone, install the latest version of the said program on your phone from the Market, put the necessary recovery.img file to SD, open MobileUncle Tools, find Update Recovery line, press, it will show your recovery.img on SD, press it and then wait for instructions from the program.

Third method is to flash recovery img from MTKDroidTools, provided your PC finds your phone.
[Android General] mite_jan:
emard have you tried that firmware ported from vietnamiese rom HDVDM by gerhan on forum.china-iphone

here is a backup from TWRP

http://files.china-iphone.ru/229TWRP.rar
[Android General] emard:
No, mite_jan, I havn't tried that firmware. I am not a big fan of Cyanogen, but anyway I wouldn't advise you to do so unless you are eager to perfect this LeWa further on. I need my phone to be fit as a fiddle because my work greatly depends on its performance. By the way, I saw you peeping into that china-iphone forum. I am a member there too. :D
[Android General] mite_jan:
yeah but it is hard to talk russian :D

so this is cyanogen or Lewa ?

i thought it is lewa
[Android General] emard:
Certainly, it is not pure CyanogenMoD, it's a shell like MIUI. But as LeWa Tek Ltd specializes in making modified software for Android, I consider it to be partly a Cyanogen, because the latter is also a modified version of Android.

signal problem

Hello again, since my first post about the battery (the battery was dead in 30-40minutes everytime i opened the google maps) of my MIZ Z1 MTK6589 Quad Core i manage to have a better battery (about 10% every hour with use and less without use) anyway, my problem now is this

/watch?v=JLrbiSMSaeo&feature=youtu.be , if you watch the video you will see that the signal is on and off ( i have this phone about 3 weeks and is the first time that happens) i always had very good signal and very good streaming but the last 2 days i have nothing, does anyone has the same problem? Any solution for that??? Another problem i have is that i can't open my phone in recovery mode, i have try MILLIONS times to do that but nothing it just restart nothing more...

Thanks in advance...

update

i use this quide http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=362 but with better instruction(you can see them in my other post and now my phone is back again, now i hope i will solve the problem with the battery...:)))
[Android General] Geoland22:
better quide how to after you download the programme...

2. After download the file, extract it to a certain location (folder) on your local drive

3. Go to the extracted folder, click on "MauiMETA_exe_3G_v6.1216.0" folder to run setup. This will install Maui META 3G ver 6.1216.0

4. Run Maui META by right click on its icon and select "Run as administrator"

5. After Maui META is launched, at port selection drop down box .. select "USB COM"

6. Click "Options" menu .. select "Connect Smart phone into META mode"

7. Click button "Reconnect" on the right hand

8. Turn off your phone, take the battery out for a few seconds (just to completely reset) then put the battery back in

9. Plug in the USB cable connecting your phone to the computer's USB port. Windows will detect two devices that you will have to manually install the drivers. Both drivers are located in the sub folder of the extracted folder.

9.1 Android Phone (ZP800H) --> Android ADB Interface (use driver in folder "Driver - USB VCOM Driver (binary)")

9.2 CDC Serial (use driver in folder "CDC Serial Driver")

10. Once the drivers are loaded, Maui META will display "Connected with target"

11. Choose "Update parameter" at the long drop down box at the top left coner under the main manu. This will pop up a window names "Update parameter"

12. Click on the button "Change NVRAM DB" then browse to the extracted folder and sub folder names "database". Select the second file with a long name "BPLGUInfoCustomAppSrcP_MT6589_S00_MOLY_WR8_W1248_MD_WG_MP_V2"

13. Next, click the button "Load from file" and choose file "ZP810" in the extracted folder.

14. Last step, click on the button "Download to flash", this will install new parameters that will fix the 3G network connection of the phone.

After the download is done, you can close Maui META, reboot your device (remove the battery if can not switch off) and test your 3G connection to see improvement, Good Luck ^_^
[Android General] mite_jan:
for me battery is perfect :)

it is discharging around 10% a day if i don't touch it ... maybe make a call or two

with moderate usage whole discharge can last to 5 days

p.s i have also unticked the american gsm from the engineering menu applied deep sleep fix and modified framework so it goes deepsleep even after 15% and bellow and i have lots of apps disabled at startup
[Android General] nierere:
. <50% battery fast discharge
[Android General] emard:
That is a way to patch 3G by ZOPO-intended patch. It's unknown whether it's gonna help. But one can try different radiomodules to find the most fitting one. You need only a rooted phone and a few actions to change and try other radiomodules. Take a collection of radiomodules for our gadget from this address http://forum.china-iphone.ru/post1076423.html#p1076423, extract modem.img from archive, put it into /system/etc/firmware folder on the phone by means of RootExplorer or the like (with replacement, save the original file to SD), set permissions as shown at the above address, close file manager and reboot your device. TRY NEW RADIOMODULE. You will see its version in the Settings.;)

Guys! What could be the problem with 3G patch flashing. It gives out a warning like on the picture

View attachment 2024746
[Android General] slein:
Its not a patch. It changes modem settings like tx power, see human readable ZP810.ini.

AFAIK the software uses a database to translate NVRAM addresses to labeled readable numbers. The message says that database was not made for your device/version (modem?). I had the same error and it worked for me. You can make a backup of the settings on your device in a readable format and look at it before writing zopo settings.

Issues with GPS

Hi All,

I have the 4.2.1 ROM from needrom, with 3G fixed and fully working.

Maybe some of you share the same problem: after some day, GPS stops working and I'm forced to remove battery to let it starts again.

Yesterday I've noticed that, after removing/reinserting the battery, its reported charge level was very low (although it was full...)

Moreover, after that, and it's the second time it happens to me, GPS seems to have accuracy problem: occasionally the navigator reported a position slightly wrong and the route was often recalculated.

Could this be related to battery issues? I've fixed the notification led problem and I've applied this procedure:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25974243

although when battery is low I've still have the battery drain problem and I'm forced to restart the device.

Any idea?

Thanks
[Android General] mite_jan:
i am glad someone else experienced this too for the battery :)

if you are using the april build i have thrown my modified framework couple of pages back

i have also explained on guide what to change and how

as far as for the gps apply this fix

http://dragondevs.com/index.php?/to...s-locking-faster-this-will-work-on-any-phone/
[Android General] kecsap:
My personal experience is that the GPS works pretty nicely in this phone. Sometimes it happens to have very long time until the lock happens, but the GPS lock depends on quite many factors:

- Correct configuration of the EPO and A-GPS.

- The data of the last lock when you used the GPS (if you start to use the GPS in the same place, the new lock should be very fast).

- A relative open area to the sky.

- Having the phone not in the pocket. (At least I experienced so far with my phones they could not lock in my pocket.)

- Moving instead of standing. (Some movement helps the lock? It is also my experience, I don't know if it is real.)

With my Samsung Galaxy Wonder, many times happened to restart the phone because it was unable to lock the GPS, it found a few satellites and nothing more and it was not a cheap Chinese phone. The GPS in this phone is at least at the same level or a bit better so far.
[Android General] bradstallion:
Thanks, I'll look for your modified framework.

Concerning your link about gps, I cannot find /system/etc/gps.conf, but looking at epo_conf.xml there is some weird data:

...

epo_enable="no"

auto_enable="no"

...

despite I enabled EPO (with auto) in settings...

Same for agps_profiles_conf.xml:

...

agps_enable="no"

...

is it the same for you?
[Android General] mite_jan:
there must be gps.conf file

make sure you are rooted and search with some root explorer

i think in that file you specify the starting position where the gps to look first.

it will lock a lot faster if you set it for your country

i have solved the gps on 2 phones with this fix
[Android General] bradstallion:
I've also tried with terminal emulator, after "su"... I don't have such file in /system/etc! Could you post it? Which permissions does it need?

Black screen, no display but back light is on

Hi,

Anyone has auto screen off problem? I'm having the japanese 4.1.2 ROM and the screen sometimes automatically goes off, saying, it displays a black screen, but the back light is still on.. power off and power on, still black. Unplug battery and reboot, still black. Then i leave it untouched for a while, press the power button sometimes it comes back.... it's now totally unusable since it's no display (black screen) half of the every day....

Is it a software issue or hardware?

Cheers,

start reading around 64-65 page

Did you have time to update?

Hello cmoegele, I had the same probs as the other guys quoted above.

I tried even factory reset (having backed up everything with TWRP) to no avail. No signal and no two-SIM mgmt either.. :confused:

So I just wanted to know if you had time to revise your LeWa adjusting the baseband version and if it worked.

I'm back to NeedROM 4.2 (my backup) for the moment but I'd really like to try your mod.

Thanx in advance :good:

Fab
[Android General] cmoegele:
Sorry for delay, but at the moment I´m little buisy, so perhaps next week I will do a new release based on new friday images.

For the baseband issues, I made same experiences on the Zopo ZP980, but an my Star the cmod08 is running well.

During the first time it takes some while until the network is available. If not you can try to easy change and try different modem.img .

If you want help testing you can try cmod10 beta

Best regards
[Android General] tdefiant:
Thanx

Thanks! :good:

I'll try to follow your tips over the weekend as the B943 is my work cell at the moment and I cannot play with it during the week.

I might even do some testing on cmod10 and see how that goes. If I do I'll report my experience right here.
