Dude, it's really complicated trying to figure out what you say in your posts. Please spend some more time on writing in a proper English :cool:

This said, if I got it well, this phone just came out, so i don't think (even if I hope so) that a price cut is already scheduled by the factory for this model.

Hi,

just read 4 posts before. You have to use a referral to register on the BangGood webpage

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

Cool :) Did you use my referral for the order?

BangGood has great processing time (1 day usually), then it's up to the Chinese post to deliver the product.

My experience is only for Spain and Italy (I'm Italian and I live in Spain) and for those countries the shipping times are between 11 and 17 days.

BangGood customer service is amazing. Search the web for user experiences and you will be shocked :)

They always put new models on the store some months (2/3) after they actually sell the product in the stores.

i don't know why but it seems to be their policy (they did the same with the THL W8 too).

How do I install it?
[Android General] Xperia-Ray:
First- go to app manager and stop gallery!

if you like to try - just use file explorer and past the gallery2.apk.mod to system/app folder, rename the original files as .bak (gallery2.apk.bak , gallery2.odex.bak) change the modded gallery2.apk.mod permissions and Rename it back to Gallery2.apk.

Hi all!

I want you to ask something. In my phone the g-sensor is oscillating around zero values but can't stop even if the phone is on the desk. And it's not possible to calibrate it. Because of that some games aren't playable.

Could it be fixed by some mod or it is hardware fault?

Also the quality of caling is very bad, the sound is distorted and the other side hear me bad... But the speed of this phone don't let me sell it :D

Has somebody same problem with g-sensor and calling???

[Android General] honza_81:
Yes I did. I should delete certain file before rooting?

Today I found out another problem. The gps navigation in car is good, but the tracking apps shows totally s**t. After 4km on bike, Endomondo shows me 54km and 180km per hour average speed!!! :))) GPS Essentials shows the same but when I export .gpx from GPS Essentials and import the file on endomondo.com, everything is all right. It is the same problem like on W8. Maybe I will sell the phone and buy LG L9 or Samsung Xcover 2.

Native Android VoIP Call on THL W100

I've enabled the Android VoIP Call stack in the THL W100, here are the steps:

1) root the device

2) you'll need to modify a file named 'android.software.sip.voip.xml' in /system/etc/permissions

- I used File Manager with both options 'Root Explorer' and 'Mount System Folders' enabled in 'Settings' but there's plenty of other solutions as, adb, Total Commander (if it grant access to /system), etc.

3) once 'android.software.sip.voip.xml' opened in a text editor (File Manager has one built in), you'll see the last five or six lines as follow:

<permissions>

<!- -

<feature name="android.software.sip" />

<feature name="android.software.sip.voip" />

- ->

</permissions>

4) delete '<!- -' and '- ->'

5) result should look as follow:

<permissions>

<feature name="android.software.sip" />

<feature name="android.software.sip.voip" />

</permissions>

6) save the modifications

7) restart the THL W100

8) Enter in Dial mode

9) Open Menu (bottom left soft touch) and Settings

10) a new option named 'Internet Call' is present (Ta Daa!!!)... open it!

11) Activate 'Use Internet Call'

12) Open 'Accounts', activate 'Receive incoming calls' if necessary, and push on 'ADD ACCOUNT' (at extrem bottom of the screen)

13) Enter your VoIP account parameters e.g. at least, 'Username', 'Password' and 'Server' and don't forget to 'Save'

14) Go back to the dial-pad

and here is the last trick (take me 15 mn to figure how to enable VoIP dialing... not this year I'll enter at Harvard Business School, sob!)

15) Pass your finger softly from the upper to the bottom side of the screen to display the contextual 'dial setting screen' where you can choose:

- - - a) dial through your mobile operator

- - - b) dial through Internet Call

- - - c) Always ask

That's all folks!!!

Please, excuse my poor english skill
[Android General] ch-vox:
It's been discussed many times in this forum, MT6589 suffers from inaccuracy problem with Android OS.

some apps such as Endomondo use libs which seems not to be correctly written, so distances are inaccurate.

try using Runkeeper instead (it works like a charm on my ThL W8), it should be OK.

there is no known workaround atm.

Aliexpress

Mine arrived today from a seller on AliExpress.

$ 168.36 including DHL shipping to the UK, it arrived in 7 days flat.

It comes with a nice plastic protector case in the box, and my seller (Grace Top-trade Co.,Ltd) included a very smart blue magnetic clip closing case.

In terms of build quality and functionality it seems great.

It boots insanely fast, approximately 4 seconds.

The GPS lock took ages the first time (which is quite normal for GPS chips as they aquire satelite data) but seems to work pretty well. This is of major importance to me (Strava anyone?) so I'll definitely report back if I have problems.

The screen is a fingerprint magnet, without the protector on. It doesn't seem especially oleophobic. The only other minor annoyance, I had to power off in order for it to detect the sd card - not hot swapable, at least, not the first time.

Rooted it easily using motochopper. The bash script it came with didn't do anything right (on linux) but I managed to run various lines selectively and with a sudo'd adb and get it going. Similarly, I managed to dump some of the partitions, but not all, but the app 'Online Nandroid Backup' worked a treat. Next, clockworkmod...

However, since there's a little-to-no ROM scene, I'm not going to bother with custom ROMs. Instead, GravityBox Xposed module looks amazing, and I should be able to do everything I could possibly need with it, and learn something in the process, rather than blindly accepting some ROM creators' work as one package. It's a learning curve but it will be worth it.

Update after 2 days

Major disapointment I'm afraid... It's undoubtedly an excellent android experience, but as a phone, it sucks.

The microphone picks up every tiny movement your finger, face, ear, hair, glasses (etc) make against the case. Try calling another phone and then just listen to all the scratching, hissing and noise your make unwittingly as you hold the phone.

The only solution is to use a headset. This is a crappy solution. Clearly the microphone is not properly isolated from the shell of the phone.
[Android General] ik8vwa:
Sorry to say but that's not the correct way. First of all, depending on your location, you have to modify the gps.conf file putting in the correct server address on the first line. In fact, if you look at it, you will discover it is set up to check the chinese servers first to download the satellites' data. So, depending on your location, modify this important value.

Then install the famous mobileuncle tools and switch on "power gps" function plus select all the agps and epo settings.

Finally, install gps test and gps status, be sure that your device has full access to internet and go into an open space such as an open field, not surrounded by high buildings and wait for three or four minutes until you get your first fix (lock on position) even so called "cold start".

I strongly believe that if you follow the instructions above there is a 100% success rate.

Let me and let us know how things go. I was afraid too that the thl w100 could show the same defective gps antenna that other chinese phones have, but that's not the case.

EDIT: I WAS FORGETTING, SWITCH ON THE GPS ANTENNA BEFORE ANY OPERATION AND KEEP IT ALWAYS ON

here EN version:

press Download.

there is no point upload an image- its only file size deference- on stock you can see compression artifact when viewing at 150%- now they are gone because it's uses 100% compression.

try- and decide if it worth extra storage.

[Android General] Augustine02:

[Android General] Lol161:
That seems like an awome solution!

One question; where can I find the gps.conf file and how can I find out which server I need to use?
[Android General] ik8vwa:
I can send you the gps.com file no problem, but you have to find out which one is for your location. For Belgium (I can see that's your actual location) it should be:

be.pool.ntp.org

Anyway, if you have root explorer and open the file on your w100 (it is located in the /etc folder) you can easily modify it and write down the correct server listed above. Please keep in mind this is just a little part of the entire procedure, since you'll have to do all the things I suggested you with mobileuncle tools in order to improve the overall performances of your device.

A good reference can be here:

[Android General] ik8vwa:
Hi Pigot, I'm glad to help you since you were so kind to solve the voip problem. Well, as someone has already told you, this is not a zip file. You just have to download it and then change its name from gps.zip to gps.conf then place it in the right directory. After doing this, please do not forget that you have to change the server's name. In my file it reads it.pool.ntp.org but in order to set it up for your Country you have to select probably fr (for France) so it will be fr.pool.ntp.org. In any case, some posts above there's a link where you can find all the gps servers in the world.

O.K., I'm a nut ;)

Back to the VoIP subject, I've used the standard tool to make some calls... sound was horrible on my side (fortunately, perfect on the other). So, I've installed CSipSimple and it's works pretty good. The only function that doesnt work well is the 'phone integration' as I get an error message when I start dialing (number forbidden or someting of the same flavour, I don't remember..). But, when I push 'cancel' it dial the so called 'forbidden number'. I've prefered to unset the 'integration parameter' in CSipSimple and I since use the CSipSimple dialer instead of the Android one...

That's all folks!

To install gallery2.apk in this jb rom you must:

1: Force stop Gallery in app manager

2: Rename the modded Lewa camera apk to Gallery2.apk.lewa

3: Copy Gallery2.apk.lewa to system/app

4: Rename the Original Gallery2.apk, Gallery2.odex to Gallery2.apk.bak Gallery2.odex.bak

5: Apply permissions to Gallery2.apk.lewa RW-R-R

6: Rename Gallery2.apk.lewa to Gallery2.apk- now it will be installed and if this "modder" rom is OK it should work.

this is the same method to any app you try to install on system/app.

Hit Thanks if I helped you :)
[Android General] ik8vwa:
Sure, you need to copy the file into /system/etc

then open it with root explorer and change the server according with your actual location, than save and exit.

Obviously you need a rooted phone and then operate some tricks with mobileuncletools.
