Alcatel 6033A display error

Hi, i have an alcatel 6033a and i's quite a good phone. But it has one problem, sometimes the display turns off but the phone keeps working. I mean it's like you can keep using it but with the display is off.

Please help.

It's rooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insaneTurnip:
Yup. ADB is definitely what you're gonna be using if you want to flash without SD. I've typed "linux android ADB" in Google and got tons of tutorials about installing on Ubuntu etc, so I guess you've got everything you need (Android is a Linux anyway so I don't see why you couldn't develop for it on Ubuntu, hehe).

I'm very glad as well someone's finally working on a CM port for this phone! I've been waiting since last christmas for this! You can be sure I'll be in the first ones installing it. ;) Keep us up to date!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josh0319:
Has anyone experience some lag in games in this phone ? Even on games with simple graphics it lags a little . Maybe because the resolution on this is too high for its hardware . Did anyone tried to change the resolution on this phone .?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insaneTurnip:
I tried nothing but yeah, sometimes some games were laggy. I just think that's about optimisation and all, the hardware etc... You know it's basically a low-cost phone which means you get an equivalent for a lower price, but not exactly the same. Lower price also means less guarantees of great functioning. To sum it up, I think that's the kind of issue you have to get over because you won't get rid of it... EXCEPT if you find a 4.2 or 4.3 ROM for it. I definitely think these ROMs would get that phone to low-cost perfection.

I'm not such an expert though so I might be right, you shouldn't stop looking for solutions yet.

Also, anyone working of custom ROMs having updates to give? Please...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m.scuro:
Unfortunately there are no custom roms for this device.

Mediatek provides no sources for their hardware (at least not for mtk6577), so it is

nearly impossible to create a custom ROM.

But the YouTube video form a few posts back clearly shows a 6033x running

4.2.2. When I google around, i end up at a site which collects user agent strings

there it is early visible that at least some Russian devices contain this version. Anyone else know about this version here?

By the way; I found this hack to switch the theme to the standard dark android colors. A welcome change and saves battery :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insaneTurnip:
Yeah I noticed it was broken but for some reason my network bugged and I couldn't get back to XDA. Thanks again!

Also I have a question, can someone who rooted their phone give me their clean /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db? I tried to remove the SMS per hour limit but made a mistake and actually replaced the whole database with just one entry. Now my phone still works but is extremely buggy and I don't receive phone calls (people directly end up on my answering machine). I tried a factory reset but apparently databases don't change during the operation. Thanks in advance.

PS: If someone who removed the SMS per hour limit could give me their database that'd be so freaking cool.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D.Spirit:
Hi all,

I just have received a new update:

Here's details:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insaneTurnip:
That's weird. I got nothing. Also can anyone can send me a copy of the settings.db I need? These bugs are really annoying and need fixing fast.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m.scuro:
I can't send you my setting.db since that file contains a lot of device/account specific settings. Maybe even privacy sensitive data.

You need a clean file. Can't you reflash the firmware? That would definitively put your phone back in orginal state.

About the update; It seems these updates are ditributed by region, since first we saw Russian phones on 4.2.2 and now someone from Saudi Arabia with an update. If you check the adb logcat log when checking for updates, you can see that it sends some language info about the current installed firmware to some webservice. This webservice determines if there's an update for your laguage.

---------- Post added at 08:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 AM ----------
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insaneTurnip:
Oh I didn't know that! That's a good information to know. Still, I thought the account/privacy specific stuff was kept somewhere else? Because if I remember well, it's just a whole lot of setting and rules the phone follow just like, for instance, the per hour SMS limit which I was trying to set to a ridiculous 9999 so it stops bothering me..? Also, as I said, I tried a factory reset but the database stayed the same. And I couldn't find a clean OT6033x 4.1 ROM to download — at least not on Alactel's support, they only give update tools. Tools which don't work since I'm actually up to date, but stuck with a dumb error made by dumb me who never thinks about doing backups before modifying system files. I know no way of doing a rollback to 4.0 to then reupdate to 4.1 (if there is any); although I must admit I haven't been searching a lot for this solution. Even factory reset kept version 4.0.

I just hope 4.2 or whatever this update is will be coming soon for Western Europe as I live in France and it'll fix my issue — or maybe I'll get an invitation to get the OnePlus One? Every one has the right to dream!

As i said, I easily survive whole day with battery and heavy use, all communications on.

I can confirm good experience with ComputerUniverse. When I received the phone I noticed something that frustrated me a lot. I've been especially paying attention to the battery life and condition. I noticed something really weird. When the phone was fully charged and reseted after, the capacity meter instantly drops for about 10%. I claimed failure to the seller and the phone was replaced with the new one without any problem. Since the new phone experiences the same issue I checked with Battery Universe and other sites and found out that there is nothing wrog with battery, it's a question of charging cycles, peak voltage and accuracy of the capacity meter. But after that I was convinced that ComputerUniverse regards its guarantee seriously.

What the hell are you talking about? Isn't that a spambot or something alike? Also if you're not an AdBot, know that your phone isn't exactly charged 100% when it tells you it is. You have to let it charge for around 15 minutes more. You find out about that in Battery Calibration tutorials.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycloud:
Will the calender widget or any other app from the original stock Evo ROM work on the newer Jelly Bean ROM? I really like it and hope to use it. I want to know if they are compatible since it's just an older app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] souleman:
You mean from stock? No, no sense based app's or widgets will work on any of the ics/jb roms, only GB sense roms.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycloud:
Thats what I thought but I wasn't sure. I read that all of the sense apps are designed to run with the Rosie Scroll. I just wanted to make sure. Thank you.

The stuff on the market sucks. Does anyone know of a full page Google calender widget, or one that is compatible with it? I"m having trouble locating one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] souleman:
I personally use Business Callendar. The widget is better then sense in a lot of ways. (smaller text, more on the screen, and like 15 different color palates). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=netgenius.bizcal That's the free version. Paid version was the app of the day on amazon market a while back. So I can't comment on the ad's, because I have the paid version. Try the free version first and if you like it....

A couple other favorites of people...

Calengoo https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.calengoo.android I didn't care for the widgets (unless they have been updated), but will also synch google tasks.

Pure Calendar Widget.. EXTREAMLY customizable

- Agenda view https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.koxx.pure_calendar

- Calendar view https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.koxx.pure_grid_calendar

They also have a few other cool widgets.

Also, some of the launchers have pretty cool built in widgets. Go Launcher, Launcher pro plus. Seems like there was another couple also.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycloud:
Yep, that Business Calendar is the business.... Ha... Did you buy the paid version? What features are unlocked? I just downloaded the free version yesterday, but I haven't had much time to play with it yet. I'm having phone issues. Tell me what you like about it and if I should spend the $4.99 for it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] souleman:
It was the free app of the day about 9 months ago on the Amazon Appstore, so I have the full version. Best parts of the paid app (besides no ad's) is more widget themes and a dark theme for the actual app instead of the light theme. Has some other things also, like linking certain contacts to events, drag and drop for some things, and making a template for events.

Personally, I just REALLY like the widget. Best calendar widget I've found.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manifest37:
I would highly recommend "Agenda Widget for Android."

Highly costomizable and free. The only draw back is that it isn't like the stock evo calender widget what displays the whole month.

Hello everybody,I'm about to buy a samsung gs4 ,but I'm still wondering which one of them is better snapdragon or exynos ?

I've been heard that they are some trouble with the exynos version especialy with heat level . and the performance of the exynos are better then snapdragon .and the batterie life is better with exynos.At this point exynos version look better but overheating problem still worring me

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] danmarte:
[MENTION=5319509]yasay[/MENTION],

In my experienced, I did some research before buying my Exynos S4 and here are the pros / cons I found:

Pros:

performs better than the snapdragon versions (you can look for benchmarks in youtube)

never experience overheating, but I heard some people reporting this kind of issues

At this point there are many ROMs available for the exynos variant in case you want to use something different. I my case I used Omega Rom and I was very happy with the performance and the battery life (almost 2 days)

Cons:

I'm from Costa Rica and here the Exynos variants are for GSM 3G | HSPA+ networks. If you are in a place in which you have LTE available I suggest you get the snapdragon version

I have found how android obtain mac from nvram in init.p970.rc:

wlan-precheck script contains:

it search for a file named config with size > 0 Bytes if not launches wifimac binary. This binary reads nvram partition /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 and search at 514 and over for MAC address, and store it with other data in /data/misc/wifi/config.

This file exist in my device but without data.

If i run, as root from a terminal in phone, wlan-precheck script I get segmentation fault error.

If i dump /dev/block/mmc0p11 at expected position i get a valid LGE mac address than begins with 74:a7:22:xx:xx:xx ( dd if=/dev/block/mmc0p11 of=/storage/sdcard/nvram.hex )

Any ideas would be apreciated.

Hola XDA...

I've really been anting to upgrade to a smartphone. Can't afford the high priced VZW plan so I found out about Page Plus. I currently have one old verizon dumbphone currently active with them.

So in my attempt to be frugal, I bought an S3 (4G LTE if that info is important) thinking I can activate it without a hitch. Well looks like I gotta flash it prior to. But when I picked up the S3 from the VZW kiosk, they didnt give me a SIM. Is it necessary to have a sim prior to flashing and activating with PP? And is it necessary to have a sim to obtain 3G speeds?

Also, if anyone has a link to a tutorial I'd appreciate it greatly. (I am a single dad working 2 jobs and I have very little time to scour XDA-Google for a definitive guide. And yes, I have hacked/flashed before. Kindle Fire 3x and my Wii.
