Some people solve this problem?
[Android General] plshk:
I managed to remove the piece that covers the back after you remove the screws. I started in a bottom corner and pried it apart with the help of a small screwdriver.

Now it seems that I should be able to remove the display from the part that holds motherboard and all other stuff, but I have not figured out how yet. Anyone had any success there?
[Android General] RobboW:
Personally, I feel the compass issue is a hardware limitation. The same happens no matter which software is used. Probably the magnetic sensor or axis sensor, or a combination.

Here's something that may interest you if you want a more central way to adjust volumes.

Works on my W200. Your phone needs root to use this.

[Android General] MiguelferraZ:
It doesnt seems to be an hardware issue, it is only the Z axis that is inverted, the X and Y axes are good. Besides, the Z axis is working properly, just inverted. So I think it must be some way to invert the Z axis in order to give the right results (but I dont know how :/).
[Android General] nontpix:
I try to use accel_nvm from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2445619 for invert Z axis, But nothing happen.

yes i have mine in bits waiting on a new screen arriving i seem to remember there is 2/3 screws that hold down the m/b then you have to pri up the power/volume ribbons then the ribbon on the back all came off easy as you say the hard part was prizing of the outer cover as you can see there is nothing to the phone once the screen is off as its a all in one part

the fact that you will pay for it as an extra thats the main reason they give just one and they make more $tbh i cant see why you need one as i get 2 days light use from mine
[Android General] RobboW:
I took mine off the charger around 6:45am and it's at 60% now at 10:30pm, so I'll put it on charge when I get up. It only drops about 2% overnight with no use and data off. Not running greenify, booftmanager or any other helper apps. I do have advanced developer settings toggled on and selected to kill apps fast to lessen memory load and wakeups, but that's the only thing. I accessed that with gravitybox.

Thanks, I wanted to get it out without removing the motherboard, but it came off easily once i got it out. I managed to replace the screen and the phone works now. However it seems that the speaker died in the process (or something is not plugged in) so I'll have to take it apart again and see what went wrong.

[Android General] amd64best:
The compass error can be fixed by flash your THL w200 with MIUI 3.9.27 rom which are distributed in 4pda.
[Android General] ephumuris:
So it's definitely a software issue then...
[Android General] RobboW:
I have to ask, who uses the phone as a compass in a vertical position anyway?

You hold it in your palm like a real one. It's a non issue to me.

Certainly not flashing to MIUI just to correct it, and if I'm on GPS, the compass is irrelevant.

Hello again guys.

The phone's been working great so far, recording video in HD has surprised me.

However I've found a problem with the Data connection... I can't access the internet, or even send/receive MMS with this phone.

I've done so before with my old Galaxy Ace and this exact same sim card.

However, with the Data connection activated (the old Android 2.3 Data connection icon doesn't trigger on the top menu on this one - I'm new to Android 4.2), nothing happens and I can't connect anyway.

Is there a fix to this, or something really easy to do that I'm missing so far?

[Android General] quasimidi:
I bought this W200 today from Minid*al, I'll check this compass issue out. I think this can be solved via sw - at least, I've met this kind of issue in other roms.

Does W200 supports OTA?
[Android General] True NZMikey:
I have taken a W200 phone apart, it is relatively easy compared to most phones. As stated earlier in a post, i have 2 that needs screen repairs, i am doing the first one off camera so i know what exactly needs to be done, then i will record myself fixing the second one and throw it on youtube. Might add a little tutorial to upgrade the leds in the bottom touch buttons too. (If all goes well)

----------

As for the compass issue, its not really the compass i am annoyed about, but i have always been a fan of the satellite AR app, that shows you where all the sats are, and you move the screen around to find them.

Have a look at "GPS Test" by Chartcross, from Google Play.

Sent from Rob's W200 by XDA app :)
[Android General] roccomx:
Rob,

the satellite AR app that Mikey talks about is an augmented reality app to search for artificial satellite paths in the night sky (not gps sats location) and that app uses the position (pitch, roll and tilt)sensor and the three axiss compass sensor to recreate an artificial view of the sky on your phone where it is pointed, the same as google Sky Map.

As I said before any app of this kind does not work because altought the sensor is giving correct heading values in all axis, the implementation of the readings by this particular compilation of android in this phone (kernel, mag sensor driver or whatever the cause) is wrong (Z axis readings are inverted) and pass a wrong heading value to the apps rendering them unusable (showing a bad recreation of the sky).

Regards.

Just noticed my W200 acting odd. If I plug my headphones in the sound still plays out the back speaker and no headphone icon in status bar. Has anyone else got this issue? On stock rom too.
[Android General] RobboW:
I had that happen on my original ROM, but not on Ludoo ROMs based on later stock ROMs. My son still has original ROM and his has done it too. If you unplug and plug in again, it corrects. I did find a setting in Engineer mode to do with dual audio volumes.

Edit:

The setting is still there in Engineer mode for the latest ROM.
[Android General] ephumuris:
It's the same for me on ludoos Rom too. Sound comes through headphones and speaker. Think I need to wait til I'm home and test other headphones

It doesn't work with iPhone/Samsung compatible headphones. It runs the old standard.

I use these ones. The button does nothing, but mic works and sound is fantastic.

For those concerned about battery in the W200, I saw this on the Q&A at ThL site. Not sure if it's BS or true though.

"From Ajlal at 9/23/13 3:30 AM

Sir when will the bigger battery for w200 release !we have waited for months????

Thl mobile ：

Thank you for your mail

We will release the bigger battery for thl w200 on our website soon . "

And, last night I took the plunge and removed my screen protector as it was looking quite scratched up. This was the one installed from factory. It was cheap, low quality film. Decided to have a go at fitting my spare protector that came in the box.

Didn't go well, the spare was the same, just rubbish and got dust under it plus had issue trying to get it straight, so I threw it in the bin.

My son's W200 came with a spare packaged ThL screen protector, so I told him I would order extra protectors if I could try his spare. It was much thicker than the one that came on the phone and I found a method to install it nicely. Looks new again :D

This is the one I installed successfully.

http://thlmobilemall.com/original-screen-protector-screen-guard-for-thl-w200-smart-phone-p-48.html

I'll get more and change his because it is also scratched up, and I'll take a video of my method. The packaged ThL protector was quite stiff and went on with much less trouble concerning air bubbles. Yet to see if it is more scratch-proof than my original. I have a protector on my old Samsung phone which was quite stiff and it's been there for a long time, still looks great, hoping this new one is like it.

Also ordered a pair of silicone covers for our phones, the original hard shells just crack.

---------- Post added at 07:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------

I was fiddling with my phone and it seemed to work ok to a point, then suddenly flip, almost like it met some limitation in the sensor ability. I'm still not convinced the issue is software. Maybe just a cheap sensor, but, if hardware is not the issue, maybe there is an editable file somewhere? Something to play with parameters or interpretation?

Just search thl w200 on ebay.au and they will show. There is clear, blue, red and black. I ordered a black for my son and a clear for me. Blue and red look rubbish.

[Android General] Dean123:
I have just got my W200 and I have an issue where it doesn't charge!

I have tried both batteries and tried the USB lead that came with the phone, other leads and plugging it in the computer too.

I'm not sure whether it was working properly but when it was on charge it crashed and would hang on the boot screen. I ended up having to reflash the stock rom via CWM and having left it plugged in overnight, it didn't charge up.

I've factory reset, flashed the stock rom again still nothing. Flash MIUI and still nothing. I've being trying to flash with SPTools but it's not recognising the phone.

I can boot into the rom but i'm running out of battery on both the batteries trying to sort it out.

I was wondering if perhaps when it crashed it corrupted the kernel as it also doesn't charge while turned off.

Is there a way of reflashing the kernel or reflashing everything via CWM?

Thanks
[Android General] True NZMikey:
If you have flashed different ROMs onto it, sounds like a hardware fault. Have a close look into the jack on the cellphone where you plug the charge, see if any of the terminals are damaged.
[Android General] Dean123:
Thanks, the pins look fine but obviously it could be the connector to the board.

I have managed to flash the stock via sptools after much fannying about with windows 8 and managed to crawl back some battery % through various reboots oddly.

Hopefully the complete flash has sorted it.
[Android General] True NZMikey:
If connection to the board is the case, then when you plug the usb in, push the cable downwards (away from the screen), if it is a connection, it should begin to charge (As it would be pushing the connection back onto the board)
[Android General] Dean123:
The system does give the impression of charging as it animates the icon etc. so it's a bit of a pain to check.

To be honest, I'll just try and send it back, it's obviously dodgy.
[Android General] Dean123:
No idea how or why but it's now charging. I let the battery run all the way down and then plugged it into the USB, left it overnight and had 98% battery and now it appears to charge everytime.

Weird.

Which a THL phone support online upgrade?
[Android General] RobboW:
The W200 is supposed to be updateable OTA, but there's never an update, despite newer ROMS appearing as more customers buy phones.

IMO, THL are well aware of the Android modding community and rely on it for updates to spread, whilst breaking warranties....

Owners have to help themselves when there are issues and THL don't even have to lift a finger. It's pretty clever really.

Then again, maybe it's just my conspiracy theory, lol :p
