[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mox123:
this is normal, it eventually does it,m dont worry about it

sometimes if i use the phone whilst its on charge it turns green

im not bothered, 99% is good enough for me it trickles down at the end really slowly

even 95% is good enough i usually unplug it at 95
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratplayer:
I had the same thing when I got my phone, I was using a cheapo micro usb charger that did not have the beans to charge the one.. it got to 99% always.

Switched to proper one with phone and voila green light & 100% ;)

For the record an iPad 3 (aka "new" iPad) charger works if you swap the USB cable also.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirMario87:
I am using the charger that came with the phone, and it has been an hour on 99%, any advice? To the ones who reached the 100% mark, how long did you leave it at 99%?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millicent:
Happened to me too, with stock charger.

Finally got it to completely charge. I let it discharge to 2 percent than charged it with the touchpad charger. Most probably the first step isn't required. The charger outputs 2A. Will try other chargers including pc usb..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirMario87:
Let me know how it works ok... Seems like maybe its a stock charger issue...or maybe i just need to let it discharge to less than 2% most i ever let it down to was 9%...keep me updated please...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinsfanbdh:
i had that problem on my s2 with some custom roms. it would charge to 100% if i unplugged it rebooted and plugged it back in. also it went away after 1 or 2 battery cycles
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flashmore:
Reboot device when at 98/99%, then it will show 100% for some reason.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackJackJester:
Hey everyone,

I recently acquired an old EVO 4g, and it's old as balls, and I can't figure out how to get it to upgrade - and many of the files that I find around the internet are 404 links, so I'm somewhat stuck.

The device IS rooted (s-off) with HBOOT 2.10.0001

Firmware : 2.1-update 1

Kernel : htc-kernel@and18-2 #1 (2.6.29)

Software number : 1.32.651.1

PRI : 1.90_003

PRL : 60687

I could care less about the data on the phone, or anything about it - but I would like to get it upgraded to at least stock 2.3.5. The device can't get OTA updates, and the main problem is every link I try to follow that leads to a pc36img.zip that I want to try is dead. All I really need is a way to get this device to a place where I can fall into one of the tracks to the many guides out there.

It's S-OFF, but there is no superuser file or rom manager, and it seems the recovery is stock. Any images I try to flash from recovery throw signature verification failed. Using the unrevoked drivers, I can ADB around in the phone without a problem, but since I received the phone in this state, I'm not sure the method that was taken to get it here (hence, do not know the steps to un-do whatever was done)

I can't find any files that I have been able to successfully flash to upgrade the system, recovery, or downgrade the hboot to .76 - my thought was to downgrade to the hboot-eng then fastboot load a recovery - but that failed since I couldn't find an active link.

So amid the sea of old information and broken links, I am adrift. Anyone help me out?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
Try installing Smelkus recovery using this link below. There are a couple of ways to do it; just boils down to personal preference, really.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661543

If all goes well, you can flash a custom ROM. I would then go about updating the firmware.

Another thing you could try is to run an RUU to a newer software version. You'll retain S-off, so all you would have to do is install a custom recovery and then flash a custom ROM.

Also, root and S-off are two different things.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobWalker:
+1 Smelkus recovery

After installing Smelkus, flash the rooted version of the current Sprint ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671395 and apply any updates for the phone's PRI and network profile. You can continue to use the Sprint ROM or flash the custom ROM of your choice. There is a wide variety of ROMs still available for the EVO 4G. You can select from the ROMs lsited at http://evo4g.roms-db.com/all-builds/ for the functional features that fill your needs. Just remember to make a nandroid backup of your current working phone firmware before flashing a new ROM and be sure the phone's battery is at least 40% charged before you begin to flash the ROM!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackJackJester:
thanks for the tips! I'll try it out when I get a chance and report back.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angryITman:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] cmoegele:
Thx for your great work!!!! ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
Very great news !

I've not the time to test it today, but this is very exciting ! :victory:

Does this attached file fixes Date&Time Settings issue ?

Source : http://forum.china-iphone.ru/post1031535.html#p1031535
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
No. It's for the previous Android version. We need a new one. I will take a look at it as soon as I have time.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
OK, I'm finally downloading your new ROM and give it a try in the morning... I'm not a patient guy :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sparcot:
Great ROM. :good: Just flashed it. Date & Time crash sollution:

- Flash the rom

- Boot the OS WITHOUT ANY SIM INSERTED

- Enter Date & Time Settings

- Automatic Date & Time - OFF

- Automatic Timezone - OFF (Uncheck)

- Reboot the phone and insert SIMs

Enjoy.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:

Can we use the Gravity's kitchen for this beauty?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Hotfix that fixes incompatibility issues of some apps on Play Store is available in the second post.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Don't even try :) It won't work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amstel:
Tried to install the compatibility fix that you uploaded.

Entered CWM>>Install Zip From sdcard>>Choose zip from sdcard

now I get a message that says:

"E:Can't mount /sdcard/"

how else can I install this file?

or any file actually..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
CWM requires external SD card. It cannot install from internal storage.

You can just unzip the file and copy xml file into /system/etc/permissions

Set its permissions to 644 (rw r r)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sparcot:
It seems that not all widgets are displayed in the menu... Cannot even find'em. There's no possibility to put them on the desktop... But maybe that's because I restored them using TitaniumBackup (backups made on 4.1.2). It shouldn't be... Any Ideas?

Added: I tryied to romove an app and afterwards installed it again - no effect.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
That's the withdraw of the stock launcher. Install e.g. Nova Launcher from playstore. It will allow you to install any widget when you long-touch the screen.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sparcot:
Already installed apex - no changes...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amstel:
Also tried with an external SD card...

not working
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Works fine here. Maybe it doesn't like your SD card... Or... Aliens :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
ROM installed, first positive impressions :

- very smooth UI,

- 4.2 Android is very nice

- no problem installing hot fix nor installing the ROM itself

- date & time settings bug corrected thanks to Sparcot tip

- I've installed the apk I use every day, no problem.

- Baseband seems to be improved, seems to work better that previous one, am I wrong ?

the "bugs" :

- we can see Eastcom logo at boot between ThL image and ThL animation

- there is no more music on ThL animation at boot

- proximity sensor : while taping phone number with digital pad (for instance a long tap on 1 for reaching my answering machine), then I wait for earing the voice of my answering machine and then I put the phone on my ear : the proximity sensor does not hide the screen fastly enough, and the contact between the ear and the screen taps on a number (3 for instance). this was not happening with ThL W8 original ROM. I've tried to see in engineer mode to catch a settings but can't find anything about that.

I'm going on testing this nice ROM... :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
- eastcom logo is somewhere burried in new UBOOT image - nothing we can do about. We need this image to be able to have display working.

- original Eastcom rom doesn't have bootsound. But if you want one you can simply take it from original rom. It is in /system/media

I personally find the boot sound annoying so I am glad it's gone :)

- not sure about proximity. Seems to be working fine here
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
Go to hardwaretesting / audio / loudspeaker mode

Put 160 for maximum volume (in ring mode for instance if you want to increase the ring volume)

Then set values from 112 to 255 (level 0 to 6). You can change either ring volume or media volume for instance...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dyter:
Stange because it's work all the time with 1.3 ... and with 1.4 it's work sometime :rolleyes:

Another problem, my proximity sensor don't work sometime and the screen stay off on call, but with stock rom I have same problem, any one have this trouble ?

Hello guys, I saw a video on youtube of a similar device identical to THL W8 and I found the android CHANG JIANG N9500!!!

this is really similar and identical,THL W8 between CHANG JIANG N9500, its firmware as it can be used for THL W8 to.

I tried to flash firmware 4.2.1 JB CHANG JIANG N8100 to my THL w7 and it was a perfect result and it really works very smooth.

so I think the firmware CHANG JIANG N9500 can be applied to THL W8.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kevin1212:
how to turn on A-GPS ? thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
both come out from the really same factory, only logo are different, both mobile phone are quite identical.

have you the official website where we could grab N9500 firmware ?

go to settings > location access >GPS satellites (touch item) > A-GPS
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kucyk84:
in Mobileuncle Tools- engineer mode - MTK-Location-Location based service.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
So here is the new update. Enjoy. (No wipes needed)

Changelog 1.5 - 07/05/2013

- Fixed CallerID mappings in Phone calls (contacts without country code are mapped correctly)

IMPORTANT: it is necessary to clear and re-add contacts for this fix to take effect.

Go to Settings/Apps, locate "Contacts Storage", open it and Clear Data (this will delete all of your contacts

so make sure you have a backup!!!)

If you are synced withh Google account you don't need to backup - your contacts will be synced shortly.

- Fixed CallerID mappings in Messaging (contacts without country code are mapped correctly)

IMPORTANT: fix doesn't apply to existing conversations - they will remain splitted.

So delete problematic threads if any. All new conversations will be grouped OK.

- Removed annoying "SIM card not inserted" notifications

- Added sysinit support (for init.d scripts)

- Autobrightness levels adjusted for better brightness in sunlight (thanks to arcadesdude)

- Enabled support for Internet Calls (SIP)

- Updated Play Store
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yewchieh:
tested called ID and messaging, both working perfectly. Thanks :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
Everything works great. Thanks !

Anyone has found N9500 4.2.1 ROM ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kevin1212:
could you make "wake up" by pressing home button?

thanks a lot
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Sorry to hear that. You rushed that one. You could at least backup in recovery before updating..

Anyway, I will provide the package to flash after upgrade to 1.5 to test. I'm curious if it is what I think it is :) Can you be my test monkey? :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Galaid:
How do you check the actual FPS? There is an app for that called FPS meter. :)

It's work for me with this update, only 1.4 doesn't work properly !

If you wan't, install my mod, see my last posts
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amstel:
is is possible to install base 1.0 and then install 1.5 without installing 1.1,1.2,1.3,1.4 ....??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
No. This would break some dependencies.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NZ-Simplicity:
Many thanks for this, worked perfectly :) - Great Job...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
I reuploaded slightly modified v1.5 update. Redownload it. It should work for you, too. Already tested by a user which had a similar problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arcadesdude:
Yup. Great job [MENTION=5008415]C3C076[/MENTION] 1.5 works great! I'm especially pleased the annoying notification is gone and my contacts/messages are being split up anymore :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amstel:
does the rom fits w8+?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
this ROM is for 8GB W8, not for 16GB or prime 4GB.

a new official one is available for W8+ since yesterday :

http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=385420&uk=4213659546

I'm downloading it (sloooowly...) and I'll tell you if it's an intl or chinese version. maybe Lewa ?

EDIT :

here's the change log :

FN07018*THL_JB2_FHD_OVERSEAS*【需求类故障】解决memoryTest溢出（修改system分区大小导致）
FN14000:解决LCM*开机时hang*up
FN14000:摄像头录相修改回边缘对焦模式
FN14000:提高照片质量
FN14000:user*data*8G,U*data*7G

translated with google :

FN07018 THL_JB2_FHD_OVERSEAS [demand the failure] address memoryTest overflow (to modify the system partition size causes)
FN14000: fix LCM boot hang up
FN14000: webcam videos modify the back edge of the focus mode
FN14000: improve photo quality
FN14000: user data 8G, U data 7G

it seems this upgrade is for our W8 8GB ?! :confused:

I can't test it since I'm on my Mac and far from my PC... :silly:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Most likely w8+

Deducting from "FHD" which stands for Full HD.

I'll try to boot it on my w8 today.

Or at least try the kernel that's bundled with it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
So I tried it. It's an international version of 4.2.1 for W8+.

Basically, it's unusable fow W8 due to different screen resolution.

Everythingis just bigger :D

Maybe it's just a question of setting the proper DPI in build.prop (I'll try)

Kernel can't be used - it's tuned for different screen.

Baseband is the same we are already using in GM2.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
I was going to try too, I've just had access to my old PC...

thanks for testing it ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
After changing LCD density, everything seems to be just fine :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
really nice, would upload this modified ROM so I could try it tonight ?

thx :fingers-crossed:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
I already have it - installable from recovery. But my upstream is too poor to upload 300+ MB.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
And yes, just to avoid any confusion or speculations :)

I am definitely not going to rebase GM2 on W8+ rom.

There's really nothing GM2 could benefit from.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
OK, I was wondering if you could upload only the modified file for having a good resolution, I'd include it in SPFlash Tool ... just for curiosity.

But if you can't, I'd stay on GM2, I'm fully satisfied with it !

thank you again for your great work.

The same way as for 8GB. There's no difference...

at worst, you'll see 8GB instead of 4GB for internal memory. that's all.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
That's not true really. This ROM has no hard-coded total size in Settings / About phone like Thl ROMs do.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
It's a question of modifying EBR1 and EBR2 records. But not sure if it's possible to assign everything to data partition :D

hi please can you upload the flashable rom with sp flash tool?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
This is my plan. Since many new users have problems with getting custom recovery run on their devices. This is because of the differences in firmwares - there already too many different versions which make my CWM 6.0.3.2 incompatible.

It's just a question if I manage to export system into system.img that is compatible with SP Flash Tool.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kucyk84:

It was officially removed since battery stats wiping myth has been busted. It won't help your battery life in any way.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ch-vox:
Something weird : since 1.5 upgrade, lockscreen targets from 1.4 update are missing.

I've applied one by one 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 upgrades, and finally lockscreen targets disappear with 1.5. (see screencaps).

I think SPFlash full firmware would be very useful to avoid those little bugs.

The camera app crashes on my 4gb version...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
This is probably a consequence of using different boot/uboot pair (you took from that chinese 4GB official rom).

Hard to tell what could help. If you like to experiment you can try taking these libs from that chinese 4GB rom and replace them inside /system/lib
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Confirming boot image incompatibility. Just tried boot/uboot pair from official 4GB (8P32) rom and camera stopped working on my 8GB (8P64).

This means that other than memory size difference there must be some other hardware differences... e.g. camera hardware.

So I will have to adjust the OP to warn 4GB owners about incompatibility :eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] csteeg:
I thought: before I switch to the chinese rom to extract those libs, let's first try the uboot.img and boot.img from your sp flash tool version.....

it still boots now! and camera works!

I really am clueless why I got stuck in the boot process the first time now....

Could it possibly be only when flashing from CWM (I used the incremental updates version then)??

If you think it'd be possible, I'd be happy to try that out for you tomorrow. Or, if noone else has the problem, and you don't care how it happened :P I'll just leave it running
[Miscellaneous Android Development] C3C076:
Well, that's the great info then. But I can't explain why it didn't work the first time you installed from cwm.

I've tried that package myself and it worked without issues.
