i got C2 B version

and flash 4.2.1

http: // forum. zopomobileshop. com/ thread-541-1-1.html
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ninjataki21:
I bought a C2 through Etotalk and it came with their Rom minus all the chinese stuff. I'm in australia and use TPG which run Optus and it works just fine. I got the 'B' model of the phone and just successfully updated via the wireless update from version 0422 to ver 0521.

I like the phone but the lag is killing me. Im not an expert at all but when I run apps they lag worse than my old Acer Liquid Metal with custom Rom and it only had 512mb!

Whats most annoying is when viewing Vimeo or youtube videos they simply wont work or will crash. I emailed Etotalk to ask them about the adobe they installed and they sent me a new link so I tried it but same thing happens.

Does it matter that on my Acer which runs perfect the Adob Flash is 11.1 and 12mb? But on this C2 it's 11.1 and only 4.56mb :/ i dunno like i said im no expert at all.

Anybody else bought from Etotalk and experiencing lag and video issues? Apart from this it's a nice phone with a great screen indeed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] austick:
Someone had the same lag problems (he bought the c2 with Etotalk) apparently they installed a Mod. He fixed flashing a clean rom.

Might buy this phone, has anybody ordered from Pandawill? It's about $10 cheaper than other stores I've found, comes with a flip case along with some other goodies, and has free shipping. They also preinstall Android but I have no problem flashing either way.

Any Canadians using this phone? It says it uses WCDMA 850/2100, my carrier uses UMTS/HSPA 850/1900, does anyone have experience in a similar situation. I'm hoping only having access to the 850 band will be okay for my area.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ninjataki21:
Ugh I thought it might be something like that.

Im so noob at this XD it's confusing. What is the rom thats updated wirelessly from Zopo then? I just got it to 0521 but nothing changed. Since Etotalk already rooted the phone does that mean I just need to use the Rom that was posted at the start of this thread and nothing more to get the lag fixed?

Any help is appreciated or maybe if your friend could tell the exact steps he did to get it normal again that would be wonderful :highfive:

Hi I also have a c2 from etotalk... but you at the first start have select xperia launcher? Because with this this phone is a tragedy....

Had a couple question if it's ok :angel:

1. Will this work on the B model? I noticed some peoples posts saying they got a brick after trying.. Is yours the B or FC model?

2. I have the rubbish Etotalk Rom and my phone is already rooted and at ver 0521. Am I fine to start your method from scratch to install?

Thank you for any help I am nooby and don't want to brick my phone but I really hate this laggy horrible Etotalk Rom! :crying:

[MENTION=813501]calik[/MENTION] - No it doesn't give me an option to select any launcher at startup.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ninjataki21:
*Update. Okay so I rerooted and reflashed using CWM+Root and the Ver B 0521 Rom. Problem is the phone still lags using some apps (JED, japanese english dictionary) and crashes when I try to watch youtube vids. Could the Etotalk Mod still be remnant somehow?

Should I have wiped my memory card or reset the phone to factory or something before I reflashed?? It's driving me mad :silly:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] calik:
Try reset to factory without sd card... after also without sd check if the app if running well ... I don't know for japanese dictionary I'm Italian:D but youtube in my c2 is perfect better than samsung note...

First of all a big thank you for your attention and suggestion Calik :victory: I just did a factory reset and empty Delvic cache. I formatted the memory card and then rerooted and reflashed. Still getting the exact same problems >_<

Perhaps could you test this link with your phone and tell me if the youtube video plays fine? (scroll down to where it says youtube pls) link is

Thanks a lot the videos dont crash now so it was the thing I overlooked. Still it is odd though that my 512mb Acer running Gingerbread handles identical apps with much less lag than this phone. Anyway thanks again :victory:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] austick:
Maybe the problem its the kind of micro sd card that you are using. Zopo use it a default app system. Try change by other (class 10) or turn off on setting / storage

zopo c2

Hello friends, I bought 2 days ago by ordering İnternet zoppo c2. There will be a few question about the phone. We look on the Internet in the phone seemed very high quality videos and fotolarini as a safe deposit box. When I look at the case when it comes to quality, not on the phone. in the case of sides like metal but on the phone from the sides is not metal. Grey plastic. the material is not more than quality. could you do me a fake one sent? I wonder whether their phones are allowed in zoppo c2 chassis and workmanship material at your doorstep? I thank you in advance
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Argykaras:

Anyone has already buy the phone from pandawill.com ??any problems?

I'm in İstanbul. I bought from a friend saying that the phone from China. I think it could be a fake. In the hands of friends and enjoy a drink on the phone casing? safe deposit box as seen in metal or gray colored plastic blogs?

in the hands of the friends zopo c2? This phone is faked? I bought 2 days ago but not the phone's edges, metal grey plastic. You can evaluate that in his hand? you do those edge metal plastic? in the hands of the zopo can evaluate with c2?

Unfortunately, ROM is NOT the same. ZP980 RAM can't be flashed on newer, B series of C2 (as Zopo explained on it's forums).

I can answer for the Pandawill part of your question. I live in Spain and bought twice from Pandawill with no issue whatsoever. They will send through standard mail (to try to avoid you customs taxes) and so it won't be fast, took 3 weeks from China to Spain, not sure how long to Canada. But didn't have any problems and they were very professional.

Zopo quality

Hello,

I would like to know what is the quality of the phone? How is the camera? Is it comparable to Sony Experia S for example?

I will be very grateful if someone check the function with 2 sim. Are they working good? ( I mean... when you are in internet( or you have call) by SIM 1... is it available SIM 2..or the SIM2 is blocked ?)

Thank you.

I'm looking for review...

Hi guys

Had C2 for about 3weeks now.

Not sure on durability of screen as already has permanent bright spot in lower center so may suffer from separation

With use.

WiFi locks out data sometimes but disable mobile data fixes.

Haven't seen 3G indicator yet either. Just H or H+ so a bit sus of network recognition.

Still very fast. Nice camera.light and thin.body.

Twin sims work OK.

Will reserve judgement for few weeks.

Hello everyone, I just got my Zopo C2 "B" ver. phone. I was looking though this thread and ZP980 thread as well, so have some n00b questions -- pls help me! :D

- Should I download latest FW OTA from Zopo, as the phone suggests? Phone wants to DL it, even the name of the update name is "ZP980...". I have C2 ver.

- Should I stay with Zopo stock ROM? Are there alternatives? Can I install CWM, for instance?

- How to root the phone?

- As I understood, I can not use FW or ROMs made for ZP980. Is that correct?

- I'm curently on FW ZP980 20130521 - 152918-v3.1. If I upgrade to ZP980 20130610-083807 are there any bad sides with it? Tested? Works fine? :cool:

Do the: guide for 1GB to 2.49GB MEMORY (at top of post) as last step. Before flashing any ROM in future with CWM or TWRP, wipe cache & Dalvik cache. Factory Reset (wipes your data, backup first) only is needed when flashing the new ROM (Dezmen) for the first time, it's not necessary when he releases future versions of his ROM.

Hello guys!

My Zopo C2 finally arrived. I charged it for about 8 hours and then turned it on. Everything seemed very fine, except for the fact that the battery was drained too fast. I just configured the wifi connection, opened Facebook for seconds, took two pictures and loaded a few soconds of an HD video on Youtube. The battery life went from 100% to 75% (25% because of less than 15 minutes with wifi on). Is that normal??

C2 White/ZP980 Screen differences in daylight

I just took the plunge and ordered a C2 Platinum (White) European version direct from zopomobileshop.com to be shipped to Cyprus from Italy next week (hopefully!).

Daylight visibility of the screen is very important to me. It is to replace my Galaxy S2 which is terrible in sunlight. I had heard good things about the ZP980/C2 screen for viewing in sunlight. I was considering a HTC One as that has had very good reviews for outdoor visibility but it is very expensive.

I had an online chat with "Alice" on the Zopo mobile shop website, here is an extract:

What I gathered from this is they are keen to sell the C2 over the ZP980 but also did not appear to want to discuss the screen technology or talk about why the ZP980 is more expensive. I have a theory which is based on a discussion I had with a local dealer in Cyprus who only sells the ZP980. That is that the ZP980 has an original Sharp S-LCD whereas the C2 has a cheaper IPS Screen and also that the camera in the ZP980 might be an original Sony but the C2 is not. So Zopo may have been buying in the more expensive screen and camera on the ZP980 but have now sourced a cheaper alternative. But this would not explain why the C2 Black (with same screen as ZP980) is also cheaper. I am not that fussed if that is the case I just hope that it is just as good in sunlight. When I get my C2 White I will try and find someone with a ZP980 and do an outdoor side-by-side comparison in sunlight as I have not been able to find anything like this on the web. If the LCD screens really are identical (with the exception of Gorilla Glass) I will be very happy. I am not so fussed about the camera.

If anyone already has experience of the differences in the screens between the ZP980/C2 Black and the C2 White with Gorilla Glass it would be interesting to hear your thoughts.

Cheers

Mark, patiently waiting for the "your Zopo order has shipped" email!
