s7189 - 4.2.1 and 4.2.2

Hi. I just bought two of these phones and found something strange I want to solve.

My phone is 4.2.1 and my wifes phone is 4.2.2

Antutu showed different results too.

4.2.1 - 13,000+

4.2.2 - 17,000+

Had a quick google using the model number (noob skills here) but didn't find anything significant other than a generic result that looked useless.

Hi, can you make backup with MtkDroidTools , I want try your rom on my 7189

Phone losing SIM card during call

Since getting the phone I have been struggling with a curious problem: The phone "loses" the SIM card rarely on normal use, and always during a phone call. After waiting for a few minutes it finds the SIM again. This only happens with the SIM slot on the right used for GSM+3G, the left one with just GSM works fine and never loses the SIM. It doesn't seem to be a mechanical problem since it doesn't occur in any specific position etc. but happens always during calls.

Has anyone else had this problem? It's really annoying since I have to shut down and swap the SIM slot to be able to call and go back to have 3G. Or better yet, has anyone found a solution?

Kind Regards!

[Android General] mai77:
QHD screen need different flash part

there are N7189 with "QHD" and others. needrom offers you two ROMs, which are incompatible in that QHD stars need their own driver. make sure you get theproper one and report back, please.

[Android General] alcorhyme:
It seems like you have one phone with MT6589 chip (1.2GHz) and the other with the more advanced version of the chip, MT6589T (1.5GHz)

Difference of 3000-4000 score points looks to me exactly as the difference between those 2 chips.

Another explanation can be fake antutu or fake kernel that tries to fool antutu (Chinese phones do this sometimes to appear more attractive to the buyer). I think it's impossible to make a 30% faster firmware in a fare way.

white screen, tried all the different sensors

i have the newer version of the star s7189. it has the mt6182_s00 chipset, quad-core, and 1.6 cpu. I've tried all the star mt6182 roms on the needrom site, but i can't get past the white screen. I've tried all the different LCD sensors, and none work. i've bricked it, fixed it, and bricked it again...

i've used this rom, and the phone boots up. I can't post links on here, but here's the path on the needrom site. Home » STAR » - Serial N » N9500 » N9500 MT6582 COMPLETE FIRMWARE

it gives a booting up sound. so i know its turning on and working. but I can't get past the white screen. does anyone know which sensors the newer version uses? I can't seem to figure it out.

Is there a way to just make the external sd card the only storage option on the phone? I can get it to work but I think there is a conflict between internal and the external storage because it will only read one at a time. Im wondering if there might be an actual SD card for the internal storage and that i might be able to swap it with my bigger SD card. I dont really want to try flashing the firmware because it looks a little over my head without a step by step guide.
[Android General] sas007:
There is a step by step guild to flashing posted.

in the storage settings set sd card as preferred location,

download http://www.mediafire.com/?5827y9pubd6ijn1 install to device and use it to set sd card as default location (root)

but i do not see these doing any good but have a try.

you will need to flash i think to see if that resolves your problem.if a flash does not sort it then you have a hardware fault.

[Android General] sas007:
No it has no notification light.data drop probably due to network this is not a known problem with this device.

when you put into airplane mode you are refreshing network connection so you will get H+ back for a bit.

saying that it could be hardware also.When did this start.

Have you flashed device or still on same firmware??

Hi guys, I haven't got the phone yet. Due for delivery 2-4th of Jan.

I'll get those details when it comes.

The ZTE Grand X Quad is a MT6589 CPU, the s7189 is Mt6589 too isn't it?

I was hoping to port it could be possible to get a CWM flashable zip of the ZTE ROM, and a CWM zip of the S7189 ROM. There's a guide on here that appears quite easy to follow. Just copying files etc.

If its possible to create a ROM without flashing over the drivers for the sensors?

Maybe try that? I haven't really got any knowledge of porting, I've only really done a few little bits of mods to already working ROMs for phones.

Hi Billy, I see. I thought all S7189 were mt6589. The mt6589 is a better CPU isn't it? The GPU supports 1080p output(for Miracast etc) on the 6589, the single core Mali in the mt6582 only supports 720p?

I hope the phone I get has the mt6589, that's what was on the advert.

Reading back a few pages I've seen the N7189 is the same phone? Has anyone tried to flash one of the Lewa or Galaxy Mod roms for that onto the S7189?
[Android General] r.lepecha:
My phone was delivered today. I have just checked the CPU specs in cpu-z and its saying its an mt6589 but 1.3ghz and Mali 400 GPU. Now from what I understand there isnt a MT6589 at 1.3ghz with a Mali.

Ran antutu and got a score of about 17900? That sounds very high and more like the s7198s results?
