Hi, does anyone know how to fix the camera bug in 4.2.1, the camera will always be focused closer than it should be. It is fine for macro shots but landscape shots are really bad because of this. Is there a 4.2.2 update or does anyone have a link for a 4.1.2 rom?

Report

Hello there everyone. I'm from Brazil and this is the first time I'm posting at xda. I'm no developer or anything like that, I'm just here for the tips.

Thank you everyone for the help. Just a small report here:

- Phone bought early April, came with 4.1.2 and bad (not to say terrible) microphone quality. I had to fix microphone with aluminum paper, both around the microphone and its board, and attached to the back case. Thx for the tips on that. On 4.1.2 I also had to fix GPS with gps.conf adapted to Brazil, 3G speeds with zp810 thing, and I also managed to work with ExternalStorageFullSwap_v2.zip that I found here on xda. My auto brightness worked very well on 4.1.2. The problem with 4.1.2 was the Deep Sleep, which I couldn't get to work. Thus, I updated to 4.2.1, with a few tips found here about the LED notification, the DSleep worked alright, with CPU Tuner and CPU Spy. I get now at least 20% more battery at the end of the day (but I believe I could double the battery time If i didn't do DeepSleep->Normal state and vice versa all the time, since that takes up some charge to turn everything back on). Everyone should play with this deep sleep a little bit, it's nice. On 4.2.1 GPS and auto brightness are not working. GPS finds 2 satellites in the same place I could find around 10, with 4.1.2, and Auto Brightness is always stuck at 800lux, with velis auto brightness app. 3G is working alright.

Now, I saw someone else with the auto brightness error here. Maybe if we could find out SOMETHING to test the luminosity sensor, outside of the system, since I feel like the system isn't providing the right value for the sensor.

Thank you all for the help so far, especially those trying really hard to fix our smartphone just right!

EDIT: I got my GPS to work alright with a flashable zip for Brazil. It's very good now. 2 minutes to connect when I'm still, and <1 min when the car is moving.

When I'm busy with my phone (it's not on lockscreen) and I get a text message, the Messages app says 'Messages stopped working' and I have to tap it again to view the text message. Anyone an idea how to fix this? Using Android 4.2.1 (April version).

Ok.. I saw this thread today and I really don't know the specification of these phones but I was working for a Native MT6589 Device (MMX Canvas HD)

What I know is Acer released kernel sources for their MT6589 Device and I think with some modification it can be used for some MT6589 Devices!

If their is any kernel dev here then you may PM me :)
[Android General] ChuSGC:
Got it!

I've just received it: I expected it to be called "Star B94M" but its name is "Miz Z1". Nevermind. I'll just play with it a lot, check everything and then I will try rooting it and flashing custom mod roms.

It was purchased in Antelife for €157 ($200something) on May 29th, arrived today (June 17th) to Albacete (La Mancha - Spain) and it mounts a multilanguages Android Jelly Bean 4.2.1 with chinese apps and Google play store.

The battery seems to be discharging slowly (just using WiFi and FM Radio).

External Internal swap

Hello there guys! I believe I read the whole topic and didn't find anything about this: Swapping internal and external memory

I can see a lot of tutorials on how to do this around the web, but I can't get it working.

So, if anyone did, could you please help me with some directions?

Thank you very much!
[Android General] xdaash:
just received my phone and was wondering where could i get the link for wifi problem fix.... it is annoying indeed... hope to hear from you soon

thanks

ash
[Android General] emard:
Question is, why would you want to swap internal and external memories? You mix something, first of all, you can not make internal memory where all your programs and data reside, external. In this case we may speak only about swapping internal and external storage. Initially we have up to 32 Gb of external storage and 1.27 (or something like that, I don't remember because I redistributed it long ago) of internal storage (or telephone memory). In earlier Android versions people used (and your humble servant as well) edited vold.fstab file to make this. Nowadays, you only need to tick off the item SD Card in Settings/Memory to get external storage become default carrier. But if you speak about increasing internal memory for your apps, then you may use meteos-mtk6589-rom-edit-en.apk which can give you the size of internal memory of about 2.46 GB that I am using now. You should install that app (having root and CWM certainly), run it, choose 2.5 GB size (not more!!!), follow instructions. MAKE FULL BACKUP BEFORE USING THIS APP!!! Because you will have to restore after you have applied it! Use it only if you realize what you are doing!
[Android General] jucaftp:
Oh dear friend, ty for the info. I meant STORAGE indeed. the 1GB memory is more than enough for me, but the 2.5gb internal storage isn't enough, and I bought C10 32gb microSD card. I've tried the sdcard0 sdcard1 switch, which didn't properly work. About the ticking thing on Settings->Storage->Default write disk, or Settings->Storage->Preferred install location, i've tried the 4 possible different combination, and it still installs stuff in the 2.5Gb partition. Last night I believe I made it work by flashing ExternalStorageFullSwap_v2.zip, that I found online. I couldn't deeply test it yet, but it seems like it search for the data or obb files in the microSD card, and install SOME of the apps in the internal storage, and some in the microSD. That will work for me.

Anyway, Thank you very much for your help =D

I just though it was weird that there`s no stepbystep tutorial on this subject, since for me it's as important as rooting the device.

ty ty ty .

Have a nice day!!
[Android General] emard:
Look, pal. The name of the app you are trying to use sounds fantastic and unreal:D because there are some apps that are prohibited installation into SD. In JB4.2, you can install any app, then go to Settings/Apps, open any application and look if there is a tab "Move to SD Card". If it is present, then you surely can move it, if otherwise-then no way! Sorry for bothering you.;)

3G data connection

Hi,

with my phone, I had only problem with the 3G data connection. Sometimes, the data connection seems to be alive, I have "H" or "H+" signs, but it does not work, sometimes everything is okay. Today, I tried to change the modem.img from this post http://forum.china-iphone.ru/miz-z1-star-b94m-b943-4-5-qhd-mtk6589-t26438-960.html . I realized that my phone (JB 4.1.2, 20130304) does not eat the versions v7xxx.7z, only the v2xxx.img. I updated the modem.img to v2feb27.7z, and so far so good, it seems to fix the problem.

To update the modem.img under Linux:

0a. Have adb in the PATH and modem.img extracted to the current folder, connect the phone with USB cable.

0b. Maybe restarting the adb as root is needed:

sudo adb kill-server

sudo adb start-server

1. Remount the system:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /emmc@android /system

2. Make a backup of the original modem.img:

adb shell mv /system/etc/firmware/modem.img /system/etc/firmware/modem.img.orig

3. Push the new modem.img to the phone:

adb push modem.img /system/etc/firmware

4. Fix the file permissions:

adb shell chmod 644 /system/etc/firmware/modem.img

5. Check if everything is ok:

adb shell ls -l /system/etc/firmware

6. Maybe not needed, but sync:

adb shell sync

7. Reboot the phone:

adb shell reboot
[Android General] jucaftp:
Oh not at all, thank you, for the tips.

I though I've seen some tricks that could absolutely swap internal and external storage. My mistake there then.

Here's the one i was talking about:

http://www.google.com.br/url?sa=t&r...=cdUejiKLB0oo_fKUGV_lZg&bvm=bv.48293060,d.eWU

I think it's working some times. It's good already. The ones that doesn't work, if they are small, I keep it in phone storage (2.46gb), and only the ones that are big I am using Titanium backup Pro to send them to microSD storage.

It's good for me as it is =)

Although I think this flashable .zip is the reason I can't get my phone into deepsleep mode. Still testing that.
[Android General] papix8:
hi guys,

i'm a proud owner of this fantastic device! mine had a lot of small problems, but i could fix almost everything, except one: the auto brightness!!

The light sensor seems not working properly (it shows a fixed value). I'd like to use http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42926861&postcount=1053 velix auto brightness, but without the light sensor working i can't :(

any solutions? I have android 4.2.1.

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

thanks a lot!!

EDIT: fixed. I just need to clean up the sensor :) (btw, the sensitivity is really poor).
[Android General] flat__line:
Do you refer to the MIZ Z1? If you do, I can tell that it seems to be working (at least in Italy). I did not try a first 'unaided' fix: I was at the window, wi-fi connected, and turned on EPO (mediatek AGPS version featuring satellites orbit projection) in settings: the phone downloaded its data and within a few minutes I had 7m accuracy localization with something like 12 sats in view, 6-7 used. After that, I tried again (from the same place) without wifi connection, and got a very fast fix ...

Hello, I bought this phone some days ago. I have two problems: the microphone is bad (during the call say me that my voice is too low) and the signal is very low, I'm often unattainable. Now, I think that I'll buy a new mic (I found on eforchina) and I'll change it, but the second problem remains.

Besides I've formatted eMMC by the reset china menu, and I lost the optimization (I know, I'm stupid! xD); now the automatic rotation doesn't work correctly: when I activate it, if I rotate the phone it rotates the screen horizontally, but the screen remains in that position also if I put the phone vertically. My question is: could you give me a bump of the phone? I hope to solve in this way...

thanks, bye. :)

[Android General] veradg:
Anyone know how I can upgrade to version 4.1.2 from 4.1.1?
[Android General] cmoegele:
There is not an update.zip available at the moment.

So the only way is total flash the readback Rom ( Thread #1 ) with the SPflashtools.

If you have already CWM and root you can backup your actual data and restore it later with advanced restore, or

my personal favorite to have a clean base you make backup of your personal data, like sms, call history,... with tool ( e.g. jsbackup,..),

save your apps with Titanium, Ultimate,... . Flash 4.1.2 Rom
[Android General] veradg:
Sorry, but I install CWM and gapps as you indicate in the thread # 1. If flash readback I will have 4.1.2?

Ok thanks ^^ i'll probably make a Nandroid backup by myself ;) I hope we'll see sooner the official or a custom ROM one day ....

For the Miz Z1 quad core, i'm sure it's not a fake.

This is a video where u see it at the lock screen (definitly it belongs to the 4.2) and at 2min07 on the device information page. Whereas the video title is wrong :/ :

youtube.com/watch?v=_agrbZ3Hy2o (sorry i'm not allowed to post links for the moment)

and a sell website: chinamobiles4u.com/?q=en/mobilok/sat-03232013-2244/miz-z1-mtk6589-12ghz-1g-ram-45inch-qhd-screen-android-421-phone

But no firmware for the moment, perhaps it's too early[/QUOTE]

Hi, people.

First of all, thanks for the system.

I've got a MIZ Z1 (identical to a Star B94M / B943). The thing is that I tried to root it but I think I messed it all up because it is a 4.2.1 instead of a 4.1.2 and now it is a brick: after sending the bootimg and recovery by SPFlashtool, either turning on or entering in the recovery mode, the device doesn't do anything different from showing the boot image.

Do you know how can I unbrick it?

Thanks a lot!

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

I'd love to know this because I've just bricked it by trying to install root+CWM from http://forum.xda- developers .com /showpost.php?p=39592182&postcount=1 (remove spaces).

I know it says it works with 4.1.2 but I tried it with MIZ Z1 4.2.1 and it got brick.

Any solution?

EDIT:

I unbricked it by flashing the boot and recovery from a stock rom from a russian forum

Now I'd like to know how to root and install CWM in the MIZ Z1 (with android 4.2.1 / Kernel: 3.4.5)... I'll look around...

Maybe installing a stock 4.1.2 ROM would do?

Thanks!!

Hi, install this ROM, u have all you need inside it http://www.needrom.com/mobile/star-b94mb943-2/

Sorry guys i have no more STAR B943, it has been replaced by an amazing Zopo C2 ^^

But i can tell i've found how to solve the microphone poor level issue during calls.

You must change the bandwith which is natively sets on 300hz-3400hz for 50hz-7000hz which is called the AMR Wideband (HD communications)

You can easily change it if you are rooted.

1) Install Pimp My ROM from the Play Store

2) Go into Tweaks and Telephony, at the page bottom

3) Click on ON (big button in the middle)

4) Reboot, it's done

See U
[Android General] ChuSGC:
Thanks for the advice. I see this ROM comes with root and recovery and it's flashable by sp flash tool!!

I'll try it.

Hello, i'm having a trouble with my Star B94m.

I have bouth this 3 months ago.

Everything was fine, but 1 month ago, the power button stars to fail intermittently. Sometimes I pressed the button and nothing happens,

and sometimes works well.

But this morning, I have removed my battery to change one SIM card and I could not turn on. Now it's dead.

If i put it to charge, the animation of charge appears ok.

I have tried to remove de battery, put the battery again, with and without de charger, with my two feets on the floor,

jumping...and nothing :(

The device had no root.

Is there anyway to turn on the device without de power button?

Is there anyway to fix de button? (hardware or software)

2. i am getting poor accuracy. i have 25meters instead of 10meters.

please help.

BTW, is the GPS module, in the 6577 ideticle to the 6589?
