Hey Ender,

I could draw/write things if I slowed down quite a lot, ie, I couldn't write at normal speed as I do on paper (or as I remember I could do on a Note when I tried a few months ago), but do you mean you could write as quick as you do on paper and the symbols that appear on the phone were still readable? In my case they weren't... I cannot upload a video 'cos everything is already packed, but wondering if it works like that for you.

Cheers,

M

Hi Mickael !

Well writing speed is very individual i supposed.

If i really try to "push" it i can see that my letters are a bit "jaggy", so you can see that the sample rate of the digitizer is limited.

BUT it is exactly as responsive and fast as if i use my fingertip.

This is probably the most important conclusion:

On my i6000 fingertip "speed" is == Stylus speed.

This was to be expected, just wanted to point it out.

To keep it simple: If i draw curves or symbols very fast i can see line segments of approx 5mm (0.2 inch) length, but i have to be FAST to see this.

If i write or draw at normal speed the jagginess is not visible.

AND i can remember that i could see a similar effect on the Note(1+2) as well, it did not annoy me either as i draw / write slower to be more precise.

Of course its possible that you write MUCH fasterm but the effect was also not a problem when i tried to force it like i wrote above.

This HAS to depend on the digitizer sample rate AND the App that is visualizing the result, somake sure you try the exact same app as i dif, will you ?

Greetings,

Ender

This must be it. The screen sensitivity is a bit too much IMHO, but the pen is working when on charger.

http://www.needrom.com/mobile/firefly-v65/ (the one with the red rose wallpaper)

This one doesn't make screenshots when using hardware button combination, the latest Firefly V65 (0830) does, but on that one the pen doesn't work when charging.

Hi Dio !

Ahrg ! I tried that ROM before but my camera app kept crashing after a few seconds with this one !

Well, there will be a new update sooner or later :)

Greetings,

Ender
[Android General] dio62000:
Hm, no problems with camera here... :confused:

There's also a new MIUI-ROM on needrom.com.
[Android General] mickael28c:
A bit jaggy? :), I was just curious there again, so I took the mobile out and as a picture is worth more than 1000 words, here is what I've noticed for a tablet where you can write properly and for this phone, quite bad and unreadable at best!

Those strange lines all over the screen on the phone were due to the fact that the screen is still responding to slight touches with your hand whilst you write and draws strange lines all over the place. Either that or you try somehow to write with your hand in the air without touching the screen. Well, and you have to take into account that you have some buttons at the bottom, so most of the times even the application exits or things get deleted because the buttons are still responding whilst you are writing...

My conclusion when I saw it was that this was more of a gimmick to try and have an extra selling point than a really useful feature than anyone could use with any frequency... Going back to the box now :)
[Android General] stevenma61:
for most of the china phone, the hardware itself is not that bad,

but the software/rom is not good.

as u know the model from each factory change almost every month, before they really test the rom for the phone, they let the phone sold in the market, that is why we can see a lot of minor complaint of the phone. as time goes by, people try to edit the rom, trial n error, then the phone become more stable. as for my inew 6000. it is more stable now than when I first received it.

like yr case, the rom itself is not suitable for the app u had. I saw the thread from china web site, he said one of the best app for yr need/purpose may be "Quill" by Volker braun. and if use with the miui rom, the performance will be better.

I had tried it myself, it is not that bad. I don't really use it, I think the app is more for drawing purpose than taking a note. my picture/note can do as your what 7" tablet does.

re: iNew i6000 new firmware

NOTE: I do not believe this is "NEW" firmware for the i6000.

It does appear to be a stock factory ROM of the build from Aug. 7th, 2013, which is the version that came loaded on my i6000. I've attached a copy of the translated text from a documentation file that is included in the zip and which displays the variation of 7 builds. The link info is included in the text attachment.
[Android General] stevenma61:
forgot to mention that this rom has a small bug in it,

that is when u want to change any setting in the setting , it will show that the system stop running, but it is ok in actual fact.

for example , if u want to change from Chinese language to English. it will show that the system stop running, but actually u have already change the language.

Inew I6000 2GB/32GB went Dead..!

Hello Experts,

Kindly request some urgent support for my Inew I6000 2GB/32GB, I bought it around a month ago and it was working very well..now a day ago, when it was in idle mode, suddenly it went OFF, I turned it on but it did not turned on. Then I took the battery out, waited for 5 minutes and inserted back, it turned on again but after 10 minutes turned off again...

I tried to recharged the battery but it did not responded, I tried a new battery (I bought 2 originally) but still it did not turn ON..

I tried power button combinations as: Power+volume down, Power+volume up but still no movement...

Kidnly help me out if you may know what has happend with this mobile and how can I bring it back to life !!

Thanks :crying:
[Android General] dio62000:
Doesn't sound good (as in 'sounds like hardware failure')... so now it doesn't start at all or does it boot, but then shuts off again after 10 minutes?

Have you rooted and flashed your phone with custom ROM or is it still like when you bought it?

The only thing I could think of IF it still boots is that it doesn't charge correctly and maybe flashing a different ROM could help. But if you don't have power to flash that's going to be a problem.

Also, if the 2nd battery was fully charged and that doesn't do anything, it really sounds lke a hardware failure.

But don't know if I'm an expert, maybe others have a better advise.

try to get a cable flash rom to recover yr phone

1 u need to install MTK driver in yr computer

2 downlod a SP flash tool version 3.1316

3 download a cable flash rom for firefly v65 ( it is same as Inew6000)

flash the rom ( connect yr phone(without the battery) to the computer, then flash, ( try to search for how to flash with sp flash tool, they are mostly the same for MTK phone , mediatek)
[Android General] Lodhi007:
Thanks for the advise but I came to know that to install the MTK driver, you need to enable the USB debugging in settings, but if the phone is not turning on then how can I install this MTK driver..? any other options ?

Is there a definitive guide/list on which US carriers support the fastest speeds with the i6000? Doesn't the i6000 support 4gLTE or HSPA+? Is there any US network where you can get LTE with the i6000?

--Tmobile get's only 2G speeds with this phone. (pathetic)

--Att only 3g? or more?

Having said that, what is the largest screened and largest ram china phone that has been proven to connect on a US LTE network??
[Android General] pufferaway:
Power failure

If you can't get power to the device, you're dead in the water... that should be your first priority. Concentrate on troubleshooting the charging of the battery and maintaining a "powered up" state.

Have you tried another USB cable, different electrical outlet, etc.?

If you modified the software at all, then the battery/charging display info you were seeing may not have been accurate.

You did not answer the questions concerning what software modifications you have made to the device and that may also be of importance if you can restore power... is it rooted and what else, if anything, has been changed from it's original factory state?

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------

I can't answer about the other china phones, but I don't believe most will see anything above 2G with the i6000 or any of it's "MTK processor hardware spec" counterparts, with the minor exception of pockets within AT&T's network that also uses WCDMA 850. You'd need to talk to the AT&T tech support before assuming 3G connection on your local AT&T network. The majority of inexpensive China brands keep their costs down by focusing on builds that can be used by the global majority of compatible markets, not one that allows isolationism of it's market to maintain subsidies to it's carriers.
[Android General] wonderworm:
Booting this value to 160 worked for me and it's much easier to hear conversations now. I'm using the Experia rom version.

Now I'm guessing Sph2 is the speakerphone so can anyone confirm if you boost Sph2 that your speakerphone will get louder too? I would like to try boosting that one to the max as well.
[Android General] stevenma61:
to install a mtk driver, u don't need anything at all, all u need is to get the right driver for MTK65xx driver software.

after installation of the driver, then u connect the phone(WITHOUT THE BATTERY) to the computer.

if u had install successfully before, the computer will reconize yr phone for about 2/3 sec, then it will disappear.

that mean u have successfully installed the driver.

then u can start to flash the rom with SP flash tool.

a cable flash rom is the only way to unbrick the phone

there is no need to enable the USB debugging. ( since u can't go to android system/power on the phone)
[Android General] jime1:
Oh wow!!
[Android General] parakey:
I am glad that this at least work for some people.

To raise the volume of the dialer's loudspeaker, go to LoudSpeaker Mode > Sph > Level 6

If you just want to raise the volume for the music player, go to LoudSpeaker Mode > Media instead

What stevenma61 says is correct. The key part is finding the correct drivers.
[Android General] MR.MEMORYLANE:
Hey guys so I have the firefly v65 which seems to be the same as the i6000 . I love the phone but the headset volume sux. I've been reading on how to increase volume but no luck. my phone is rooted, do I have to install a different rom just to increase volume? Thanks
[Android General] stevenma61:
u can download the cable flash rom from below

http://www.needrom.com/mobile/firefly-v65/

note : by looking at the instruction of the web page, there should be two roms- one is cable flash, the other is card flash.
[Android General] dvgenius:
Hi everyone i've been following this thread since july as i'm interested in buying the inew i6000, there seems to be an issue with the volume as i've read so far i'd like to know from any of you guys who currently own one to tell me from personal experience if the incall volume is bearable enough for daily use (non rooted) please, i'd also like to know if the incall volume is good when using a bluetooth headset. Thanks for your time.
[Android General] wonderworm:
I am currently using the firefly Experia rom. The volume with stock firmware and with this rom was marginally usable as in if there was any ambient sounds around me I had to strain to keep up with the conversation and constantly tilt the phone to try to get the perfect angle into my ear so I could hear. This would be extremely frustrating long term.

I used mobile uncle and increased the sph volume to 160. (the max) and now it doesn't really bother me and i can actually have a conversation. It is still not ideal in noisy areas. Not sure if other or newer roms will make the speaker better in the future but it is a true negative about this phone. I don't know about bluetooth but I would guess any bluetooth earplug with a volume control would be able to easily correct the volume issue.

Anyone have experience with miui roms as I'm thinking of trying it out. Their website seemed like it may be the best rom to use.

http://en.miui.com/
[Android General] enderffx:
Hi !

If you have CWM installed then just put the MIU CWM flashable rom on your SD, boot to CWM, BACKUP and then wipe all data/cache/dalvik and flash MIUI.

Try it as long as you like and if you want go back by restoring.

Really easy and no danger...

I tried it and i like it,its very sleek.

But for someone who is used the "stock" Android look MIUI is quite different.

Try it !

Ender
[Android General] wonderworm:
So do I just download the latest V5 miui rom from their site or do I need one specifically tweaked to work with the Firefly v65 (aka inew i6000)? I couldn't find either of those devices as being supported.
[Android General] enderffx:
Hi !

Just look here:

http://www.needrom.com/phone-roms/firefly/

Its the latest ROM in the top left corner (09/21/2013).

Have fun !

Ender
[Android General] wonderworm:
For anyone who wants greater volume from their Fireflyv65/i6000, go download the latest miui firefly rom that is in the previous post. I can't recommend this rom enough. It fixed the in call volume problem; and it became almost too loud once i did the below steps.

1. Go into "system", "permissions" and turn on root for mobile uncle.

2. Go in Engineer Mode MTK, scroll to "hardware testing" and click audio.

3.Click normal mode, change the type to "sph" and change the level to 6, then change the value to 160 and click set.

Now your phone will be super loud in call.

The rom is beautiful, has tons of themes and support, shrinks all the fonts and lets you maximize all that screen space of your big phone.

inew i6000

received my inew phone i6000 on 16/072013

i bought it for 265 without shipping cost.

the screen is good( much much better, i think because of OGS - one glass Screen solution) , compare to the other one i had ( star S7599 ) which i bought in May.

the reading angle is as good as those high eng phone (HTC, Nexus, Samsung) , except, when u are using chrome/browser, the bottom part of the screen show a little blueish ( somesort like when u have reached the last page of the web)

I have rooted and CWM

i also tried to flash it with the Firefly V65 rom found on the needrom web

it is ok the rom from V65 are compatible with iNew 6000
[Android General] stevenma61:
for rooting the phone (mtk 65xx phone) n flash the recovery

a) to root

use ( run the below with your phone on and computer to the computer, u need to have computer able to talk to phone- driver installed)

1-- Eroot ( google this Eroot , u should be able to get the programe)

2-- Auto Root MTK6589 (One click root)

run the first one, if cannot root, then run the second one,

still cannot get root, then run the first one again, that is how i get mine rooted.

B) for recovery.img to flash to phone - u need the phone to be rooted

dowload recovery.zip from needrom.com , look for firefly under other catergory (the recovery is in chinese), not too sure u can find one in eng.

unzip the recovery.zip and get the file recovery.img and copy it to the root of your sd card in the phone

now dowlload "mobileuncle" from play store in your phone.

then run the mobileuncle, then hit the Recovery Update" then choose the file u have copied to the sd card,

then reboot the phone , there u have recovery installed

the current rom i have still the stock rom, but the 3g signal up n down , not stable.

i have just download the other two rom from the web site they have just updated hours ago. i will try
[Android General] hungrymr2:
I noticed that 3g is stable only when you're using the internet. Otherwise, it goes on and off to save battery.
[Android General] stevenma61:
mine, sometime even did not receive any signal for about 30 to 60 sec, also the battyer level is not consistent
[Android General] stevenma61:
after trying both the rom from firefly V65, it is not so good, might be a little bit no compatible to iNew6000

so i switch back to my stock rom.(inew6000)

for the signal problem, i think , i had formated the storage to 3 + 13gb.

after i formated back to 1 + 15, it seems ok , it would not go up n down.

anyway , it is good to root n flash cwm recovery, then bakup a copy, in case we need to restore
[Android General] supasieu:

about pen with phone

Dear michalcl, stevenma61

Could you please share me , how work of your plastic pen that came with the phone?

I just checked , for mine it did not response for and screen that touched.

thanks in advance.

My batter also have problem when charged full 100%, and i reset the phone it always come back to only 85% , did the battery have a problem?
[Android General] michalcl:
dear eojont: plastic pen works well. And with charging I have the same problem. I'll try to do the recovery wipe battery stats (advanced-wipe battery stats) and then it at least 3 times Counseling charge and discharge. Hopefully this will help
[Android General] eojont:
Dear michalcl,

thanks for feedbacks, according to your advice , I tried again with the pen and yes it works but the sensitivity is much slower than my finger. But that is ok since pen is not important to me.

For battery, great to know that since I put the claim to the seller already, let's see what the will say.

How your battery lsst long, is it ok for the full day work?

Thanks.

I don't think that the model is in the market now for sale, MTK octa-core phone likely to be sold within next 1-3 months times

It has a Exynos 5 Octa Core, not MTK.
[Android General] stevenma61:
Ya, my mistake, i always think that most of the second/third line phone manufacturer use MTK chip.

but at the price 319 for Exynos 5 Octa Core, 2 gb ram, 16/32gb rom, 1920x1080, i will say it is too good to be true.

i will definitely not buying this item ( presently) may be 6 months down the road.

Mobile networks

Access Point Names

Click the APN (for me I clicked Vodafone UK)

Scroll down to Authentication Type and change it from Not Set to None

Save your settings (bottom left button the phone and then save)

it worked after about 10 seconds for me

Still struggling with the GPS though :/
