the battery level,

at the beginning, the battery is not good,

if i charge it with the phone on , when it reach to 99%, it would not show 100%, then i off the phone. and charg the phone, it show 70% only.

but after a few days charging, the battery become more accurate.

now i am using stock rom from firefly V65, updated 15/jul/2013, i think it is better than Inew6000 stock rom.

for the pen, i did not try a lot, i know it is working.

my problem is still the voice call signal, may be every 30 min , the signal drop to zero for about 2-3 sec
[Android General] michalcl:
Thanks stevenma61 for recovery, it works well. I have another problem. I noticed from the bottom of the display will more shining and has a bluish tinge. It is know especially at night or in the dark. Can I ask for a check for you? I find the display as a magnetized

edit:eek:n needrom is a new rom for firefly V65. Anyone tried it? A second question is-will go flash this rom on my phone 2 GB RAM + 32 gigabytes rom?
[Android General] stevenma61:
My phone also same as yours. It is a bit bluefish at the bottom, u ca notice it especially yr phone at the white screen stage.

For backing up the rom with mtk droid tool, I think u can only recover back the rom if yr phone can still be working .

U have to create a rom-0 from the sp flash tool,

Then prosess the rom-0 with the mtk droid tool, only then u are safe.

If yr phone brick, then u can flash back the rom with the sp flash tool

But it really not a big problem, because u can get a cable flash rom from needrom
[Android General] michalcl:
Thanks for the reply, it looks like a bluish tint with greater intensity not only me. The question is, why is this so? Tomorrow I will solve it with my dealer. To flash a new ROM. I already have a backup of both the computer and also have a backup done through recovery.
[Android General] eojont:
Thanks "zaraki" for your mini review.

From your review i just notice mine has also the blue band at the bottom of screen.

I think all of us have the same, wrong battery stat, blue band. So, the QC is really consitent 55555.

I have only one batter in pack so i not possible to check. if you get the test for spare battery please share us.

thanks

to zaraki kenpachi:

Hello, really nice review! I have a question. Could you please make a backup of stock rom with the original recovery? Thank you very much
[Android General] silvacrest:
where did you guys gets yours from? im considering buying one but not sure where a reliable place is
[Android General] zaraki kenpachi:
hi michalcl,

sorry, i never got to do a backup of stock rom before i started messing around with it. besides i never found out how to do this. :( i am interested to find out how to do this though, any tips? it would be nice to have this information (rooting, rom backups, recovery, custom roms) all in one place but everything is in bits and pieces. i did see on the inewmobile.com website that they have downloads for their lower end model. hopefully, this means that they are serious enough to do firmware updates. i don't understand why not more of these chinese suppliers do this since it gives customers the assurance that there will be updates after they purchase the unit.

hi silvacrest,

when searching, i found inewmobile.com have very good prices but they never seem to have stock for the 2gb version. i got mine from aliexpress. look for the supplier named "ALL4U-TianYing", a little more expensive for the 2gb than what is published in inewmobile.com but at least they have stock. communication was easy, as long can speak decent enough english. service was very quick, i got my unit 5 days after my order, but that was through dhl.

hope this will drive up interest in the inew i6000 for modders to take notice.

---------- Post added at 08:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ----------

as mentioned by stevenma61, with more usage, the battery stat has been more accurate. i will continue to monitor this and update my post on its behavior. one of these days i will try the spare battery.

hope this helps!
[Android General] stevenma61:
I got mine tru Aliexpress.com , a subsidiary of Alibaba. mine is about USD 268 without shipping cost. ( 1 gb RAM, 16 gb Rom)

I use Aliexpress to get my two phones, Star S7589, and iNEW6000. For S7589 , that was my first time shopping on line.

I tried to get from taobao (also subsidiary of Alibaba), but they said they don't ship out china, taobao is a bit cheaper than Aliexpress
[Android General] stevenma61:
I think this one is the stock rom recovery, this is the backup from MTK droik root n rool , after I rooted the phone, straight away I back up the rom with MTK droid root & tool

edit

sorry

with the original recovery, u cannot make a back up of yr rom, u have to flash a CWM recovery, only then u can back up the rom
[Android General] Maine_Coon:
pandawill.com is taking preorders for Uifone U650 for $299. The phone to be released on July 31. Here is the link: http://www.pandawill.com/ulefone-u6...9t-android-42-1g-16g-130mp-camera-p77164.html

What do you guys think?

is i6000 a better deal?
[Android General] zaraki kenpachi:
the i6000 sells for $30 less for the exactly the same specs. either way they are probably just clones of each other. mine came with a nice leather case and screen protector. what's more, we already have this small inew i6000 "user group" going on, more people to share hacking tips with.
[Android General] Maine_Coon:
Actually I managed to get one low-end i6000 1GB/16GB ROM for $233 after coupons etc. on aliexpress. But it is too good to be true, I don't believe they will ship.

Very good point about the group in development.

In any case, I am going to blame stevenma61. He knows why :D.
[Android General] Nickoz:
I'm also thinking of getting one (in black, 2GB RAM). Ulefone 650 may be a clone, but it in slightly different form factor. The most interesting thing to me is its battery as shown in 2 YouTube videos, it seems to be 3800mAh - and it matches in size, looking to be even bigger than i6000's.

3800mAh (even though this rating can't be trusted, as Chinese makers often inflate it, but let's just say bigger battery) could be a major advantage here, I'll wait for someone to confirm this. It would be good to know the final specs, as Ulefone is to be few mm. slimmer (and longer) than i6000, then Bluetooth and Wi-Fi version is unclear etc.
[Android General] michalcl:
Thank you all for your answers and stevenma61 for stock recovery. I want to explain why I need backup from original clean rom + original recovery. For the reason that on the net is unavailable official version, so if anyone would want to claim the phone, it should not lucky.

So please other future owner i6000:

After purchasing the phone Make root help Eroot and after that the program Mtk droid n 'tools create a backup of the entire stock rom. Thank you very much also for other users.
[Android General] zaraki kenpachi:
seeing the 3800mAh rating made me look at the link posted by Maine_Coon once more. it says there that it is 3300 mAh, they're not very consistent in their marketing material :)
[Android General] stevenma61:
I am not too sure how the two tools "MTK droid root & tools" and "SP Flash Tools" link to each other at the beginning.

Now Since I had back up the stock ROM with the MTK droid root n tools, can I use MTK root n tools to recover back to stock ROM ?

I think it should be able to, since there is a button "Recover and Boot" in the tools. (I haven't tried to recover in this method)

So I think, if I recover the stock rom tru MTK droid tool, then I should have a stock rom phone except with the root, then , I unroot it, then I will get back to factory original system.

Am I correct?
[Android General] Maine_Coon:
Going to return it? :laugh:
[Android General] stevenma61:
of course not.

because Michalcl said in case some body want to return the phone, they can go back to original stock rom.

but for me, the chinese supplier will only accept yr return goods, if u complaint the fault right at the begining when u received the phone , after 1 or 2 weeks , only then u find out any problems, i don't think that u can return the phone so easily.

But i have go tru a lot of cases, i know the hardware problem is quite rare, most of the time , it is software problems. For example,a lot of people complaint bout GPS not seaching fast enough. usually, it can be fixed with the software.

just went to firefly web site, they had posted a new rom again, 5 hours ago(custom) so far i think, they had posted 4 or 5 already.

luckily, our phone are compatible to Firefly V65, their backup support r much better than iNew.

I had download the rom, will try it this week end
[Android General] Dvalin21:

Is that custom ROM in English at all? Everything on that page is in Chinese..

Why does the stock ROM suck?
[Android General] Dvalin21:
The stock rom is glitch, makes the screen SUPER sensitive which is not good at all. You experience random lock ups and the worst possible times.

what about inewmobile.com or dealsprime.com , also to everyoe that has had a battery issue. i notice the the android system is not creating a battery_stat.bin file. ive seen this file in every android device ive owned except this one. those of u who are really good at trouble shooting this kinda thing may want to take a look. And lastly can any of u take the latest stock rom and convert it in its entirety over to a cwm flashable zip file? I dont have access to a co puter right now and really dont know when i will be able to

[Android General] Micco85:
Hey guys.

I wonder if you have updated your i6000 rom?

i have i3000 and i downloaded newest rom from inewphone.com and when trying to flash it with spflashtool, it says ANDROID checksum failed. So that there is some problems with system.img file. I also tried download from needrom.com but same error.
[Android General] Dvalin21:
Honestly I HATE having to flash a rom with that tool. Damn thing never for me when installing the drivers. Always when I connect the phone it will connect and disconnect right after.

[Android General] Zilliman:
What do you mean? Did you flash a completely different ROM onto your i6000 ?

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

My phone is the Doogee DG650 - not the i6000.

I have deleted a ton of "system" apps that are also available on Google Play. I cannot remember which.

It seems I have deleted one too many, because my Google Calendar does not work anymore. Google calendar has always been fragile though not syncing properly with the web version.

Hello,

i have a problem installing one of the custom roms,

i did the usual : format , wipe ect.

installed from zip and am able to start the Samsung ROM and the Nexus5 Cutom ROM fpr the V65, which as has been said is identical to the I6000 which i have, but both ROM's have the same problem: i dont get ANY sound. Switching back to Original and everything works fine.

Any Ideas ?

Ok guys. I have figured out the mystery after search forums and threads all over. Apparently when iNew originally released the phone they didn't use the same audio chip that they use now. So certain phones will not work with certain roms. For those of you who lost sound when trying to flash another rom, You are going to want to flash this to get auto back: http://www.needrom.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/FireflyV65-MTK6589T.1009.zip. If you want a better custom recovery go over and get the CTR application and use it from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2510139 Now, I hope that this is something that could be fixed in a custom rom as the audio drives for both phones could be added one rom. The only problem is I don't know how to tell which ones take which drivers.

inew i6000 sdcard0 and sdcard1 problem

i got my new inew i6000 32GB yesterday. Rooted with easyroot and CWM 5.5 installed. 5Gb internal, 22GB phone storage as factory default.created a backup with CWM and also MTK droid tools.

tried to restore titanium backup from samsung s3 to i6000 with microSD 32GB. most of the apps got installed to microSD with (.android ) and other folders in microSD. Also PHONE STORAGE CHANGED TO SDCARD1 (instead of sdcard0) and MICROSD became SDCARD0. 2nd backup with cwm failed at data.img backup.

restored with CWM to earlier state. again tried to restore Titanium backup from s3 without microSD card with titanium (6.1.5). restored only missing apps with data. everything went fine. PHONE STORAGE showing as SDCARD0.

But once i inserted MicroSD, again phone stor became sdcard1 and vice versa. also therewere .android, .android_secure like folders in microSD. But this time not using much space. sine apps got installed to phone storage.

My problem is why sdcard0 and 1 getting reversed. thats creating problems with cwm.

Please help. thanks.

later i tried backup with cwm and gave backup to internal sd card and it went to phone storage.

till now not much of a problem. apps are all working fine.

Screen Replacement

I've just had to replace the screen on my iNew i6000, I bought the replacement from AliExpress

Pictures of the process are at imgur{dot}com{slash}a{slash}kNslO
[Android General] zaraki kenpachi:
some posts back, i mentioned i was having issues with charging my phone. the behavior was it will only charge when the phone is turned off. as you can imagine this isn't really a good thing. this went on a few months until i started fiddling with the phone's utilities again. what i stumbled into was when i used mobileuncle, i managed to get to charge again even while turned on.

i don't know how unique my situation is, but this is what i did. i'm posting it here in the hope that it may help someone else.

1) open up engineer mode in mobileuncle tools.

2) go to engineer mode (mtk).

3) swipe tab into hardware testing and tab usb at the very bottom.

4) tap usb ex test and plug in the usb cable.

5) you should see the battery icon change to a charging icon. you should also see the red notification led light up. if it doesn't light up, unplug and plug again. i always need to unplug and plug once after a reboot.

if i reboot the phone, it "forgets" and i have to do it again, but no biggie at least i have the phone working again as normal as possible. one thing i don't have is usb data but that is for another time. as least i don't have to worry about losing charge.

i don't even pretend to understand what is going on, but i get it to charge with this very method. so, it does seem to be software related, since using mobileuncle managed to "enable" something to get it to recognize the usb cable. then again, if it is really software related, then resetting the firmware should have worked right away. i hope anyone more knowledgeable would be able to shed some light into this.
