[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tutyit:
I can play Vector fine , no lag.

I can also play CSR Racing fine without nay lag.

Also can play Fast and Furious 6 without lag.

Don't know about reckless racing 2 though.

Will try it.

My device is a OT Idol 6030X and in AtuTu it scored around 8500 score points.

The OT Idol will play most of the low demanding games just fine , don't expect to be playing Real Racing 3 and other high end games like NOVA and so on.

One of the games that has impressive graphics and works (just smooth enough) is The Room , it's a nice puzzle game.

I'm from Slovakia and have the T-Mobile version of the phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyback:
The 6033x model (Idol Ultra) has 720p resolution and it is a bottleneck in game performance questions. There is likely to be lag on some games (not all) but in terms of performance the 6030x model is superior because it doesn't need to process graphics at 720p resolution.

Hi Guys, I just bough Alcatel one touch HD 8008x 3days ago and i m about to root it, but find totorial on how to do that, is there any one who have any idea how to do it? thx for advance !!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Pablo_:
Hi there,

I just bought 6033x. This is my fourth android device, so I'm not new to "hacking". For now I switched it on, look how fast it works, make few calls only. I'm not configured my google account also. First important thing is to make an full backup/nandroid. I made a backup using original "Cloud Backup" but, I think it could be insufficient in the future. Is any method to make an full nandroid before customizing/rooting my phone?

I would like to have an full backup, before I'll touch something. Of course I'll wait with root about one-two weeks in order to carefully test my new phone, but I'm going to uninstall some bloatware (yes, this is possible, Alcatel install bloatware as normal apps) so I would like to have "factory backup"

Anyone can help me?

---------- Post added at 01:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------

As far as I quess, "Cloud backup" is Sprite backup, someone forget to change name of folder which thist app creates in box.com :)

---------- Post added at 02:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 AM ----------

I read whole thread, and I guess, if I use rooting method which is mentioned by [MENTION=611787]piskr[/MENTION] (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38337401) I can install CWM recovery for one moment and make full backup. Without installing superuser etc... after reboot recovery will come back to oryginal one. Am I correct?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piskr:
Rooting and Flashing

I can confirm that described method works. Just follow the instructions of rua1 carefully and you're good to go. Sprite backup doesn't work as one might think, probably it merely preserves settings of the installed applications and nothing more. It is logical as this backup works without rooting. That means it doesn't retain system settings or removed apps.

But following the rua1 method you have fully rooted phone. Just remember: don't stop when CWM is transferd to the phone, use the complete procedure. That means that you have two tools open and working simultaneously:

MTKDroidTools (http://ge.tt/8FOYWVj) and SP FlashTool (http://forum.faeamobile.com/thread-1054-1-1.html).

Be aware: You can't go with SP FlashTool if you don't collect necessary information about your ROM using MTKDroidTools. And after you correctly push CWM to your phone, you must switch to MTKDroidTools, backup your ROM (nandroid) and after that instal Superuser (root the phone).

Backup you get on the computer by using this procedure is the only real backup, creating the files installable as normal backup file system or zip (additional option of backup using MTKDroidTools). And with this method you can backup every next ROM when you apply system changes.

Something about recovery: It is true that after every reboot you get system recovery back instead of the CWM. But you can then retrieve CWM again using SP FlashTool and it will last until next reboot. So you can easily make backup of actual system between.

And additional: Returning of the fastboot recovery after every reset is caused by one system file which triggers persistant fastboot recovery. I've already removed this file from the system and now have permanent CWM installed on my phone. Unfortunatelly I've forgotten which file I removed but in a few days my college get the same phone and I'll publish the information.

Still one issue remains: CWM works only with external SD. As we all know Idol Ultra doesn't have any. So every recovery or zip installation must be pushed either from computer using SP FlashTool or by mounting virtual SD card on the system. The first approach should be logical, the second is more demanding and serious precaution is needed when messing up with the system. At least every SD partitioning might cause loss of data and applications.

I haven't flash anything yet myself, I'm waiting to know whether Alcatel intends to upgrade their devices to the KitKat. For now I only removed bloatware, replace some of the applications (system ones as well) with more appropriate and replace launcher (with the Holo HD). I'm aware that I'd have to flash the original system before every stock upgrade. I believe that using the SP FlashTool with all options ticked will serve the purpose.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Pablo_:
Thank you for your long answer :)

So one quick question, If I'll follow rua1 method up to point 9, and at point 9 I'll make backup and restart the phone, I will have an backup and phone in stock factory condition? (without root) Is this right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piskr:
No, it's not. Following the method exactly, after 9 you'll have rooted phone and CWM installed. After firs reboot you'll still have rooted phone and stock recovery. But the phone remains rooted as long as you wish (If you don't remove root, then forever). I'll publish soon how to keep the CWM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skyback:
Did Alcatel stop updating this device? I didn't have any update until now... :s I'm curious if I'm the only one in this situation... This phone could be improved so much...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piskr:
The only update was issued immediately after launching. I think that it impoves audio and camera. After then there was no other and I don't think any would have been necessary. Now the situation is different when the KitKat is about to be launched. It is the first substantial improvement after the Jelly Bean and it is specially aimed to low and mid range phones which can gain the most as 4.4 would be processor, RAM and battery most efficient system till now. I asked Alcatel about their plans about it and I'll keep you posted when I receive the answer.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Pablo_:
I think you are wrong, I read whole threads about MtkDroidTools and SP_Flash_Tool.

and

Steps from 1 to 6 is for read your current ROM and save it in file ROM_xxxx on your computer.

Step 7 preparing new CWM recovery (and new scatter file) for you, using your original scatter file and ROM dump.

Step 8 Is for flash new CWM recovery using new scatter file. Nothing more!

Step 9 is for make an backup, rooting phone etc...

So I asked, "If I'll follow rua1 method up to point 9, and at point 9 I'll make backup and restart the phone, I will have an backup and phone in stock factory condition? (without root) Is this right?"

If I only make an backup at point 9, and do not install superuser app (get root) after reboot my phone will be in factory state. So short answer should be "yes"

Maybe my English isn't perfect, and You misunderstand me, I'm sorry for my English.

BTW It is not shortest way to do backup if you have new phone and want to make an "factory state backup"

The shortest way is to follow rua1 instructions points 1-6, and in point 4 you should put hex number from scatter file (located after userdata), for me this is: 0xffff0200

My scatter file below:

.

MOBILE_INFO 0x1d0e8000

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

It was misunderstanding. At the stage 9 you can of course only make nandroid, but you can root the phone and apply other provided functions as well. How far you want to go always depends on you.

Hi there, I have one problem with Idol Ultra, sometimes my screen remains blank during incoming call, so I can't see who is calling me.

I read this could be fault of calibration of proximity sensor, some people wrote there is an engineering menu available with special code, but I didn't find working code for this phone, also someone said about special menu after boot in almost every MT6577 devices, also I can't found nothing more than recovery, where there isn't option for calibration proximity sensor.

Any idea, please?

Some problems

While I am using this phone for about 2 months now, I am quite pleased with it.

I have some problems however:

- Sometimes it says 'No sim card present' -> Reboot resolves this.

- Switching on/off flight mode sometimes results in mobile network loss. Wifi still works. -> Only a reboot solves this.

These problems are very annoying since I use flight mode every night. So almost daily I have te reboot my phone.

Are any of you experiencing similar problems?

By the way, the device is rooted.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m.scuro:
As I already told you, the update tool deletes the downloaded zip file. Contact alcatel support and ask where the update can be downloaded manually.

The One Touch Upgrade tool someone else pointed out here, also downloads the update (i don't know from which location) and puts it in a download folder (this folder is in the application directory). The problem for me is, that downloading starts after you connected your phone. And since I am running windows from a remote desktop, it cannot see my phone and downloading does not start.

How far do you get when you connect your phone?

Or maybe someone else -running Windows natively- is willing to download it for you?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F37F:
i don't understand dude but anyone can just upload the update from Alcatel onetouch idol ultra and everything gonna be Alright lright. -_-
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom_ken:
I don't know how to prepare such UPDATE file from the phone, but, I gues it have to be done on "clear" system (without passwords, accounts data etc) and this culd be main problem.

I bricked my IDOL 6033x twice and two times sucessfully restored system with official UPGRADE tool. I just checked it's folders, but, it seems flash file was deleted after flasing process ...

Could you please describe if ALCATEL ONE TOUCH Upgrade program even detect your phone?

As I remember, in my case, restore procedure was as follows:

1. Run UPGRADE TOOL

2. SELECT phone model from the list (6033)

3. Power OFF phone + disconnect USB cable.

4. Push and keep VOL+ button and then connect USB cable - programm will detect phone. If phone is not detected try repeat points 3 and 4

5. Program downloading upgrade (about 2 hours) - I switched off and disconected my phone to save battery.

6. After download all necesary files, program is asking to connect phone (rememeber to puch and keep VOL+ and then connect USB cable).

Do you have any errors on screen during this process?

What is your computer operating system?
