Cheapest source for black i6000 or V65 2/32 ?

Hi guys !

The sh*t hit the fan as i managed to crack the screen of my i6000 (slipped out of my hand on concrete, phone is not to blame)...

There is a diagonal crack on the Screen, it works 100% (digitizer okay, no dead pixels) and when turned on the crack is invisible if you look at the phone from a right angle.

But if there is sunlight coming from the side or you look from a angle <70 | >110 degrees on it then the crack is visible.

Fingers cannot feel it...

But:i know myself, sooner or later this will go on my nerves...

So: what is the best price you saw for a black 2/32 model (i6000 or firefly or whatever OEM copy as long as it is 100% compatible) ?

The white one i got was from Focalprice but the do not offer the 2/32 models anymore (???)...

I loved Focalprice as the did not wite "Gift - $1) on the box but something else less suspicious so i did not have to pay customs and taxes !

So if you have a dealer with a good price that you trust, just share it with me, will you ?

Greetings,

Ender

P.S. and if someone wants a cheap iNew i6000 with a flaw, just let me know, otherwise its perfect, none of the sporadic flaws other siilar phones seem to suffer (GPS / blue tinted screen / bad battery / ...)
[Android General] stevenma61:
for GPS searching, i have been trying to play around with the app "mobileuncle tool" for quite some time,

actually , when yr data/wifi is working, and if u do play around with the button, u should be able to get the GPS locked within 30 sec.or less.

when the data is on, actually the data/web can locate yr position, it is with a little bit of help from satellite.

try to play around with this few button

under MTK engineering mode "mobileuncle tool"

location

hit the "location based service" then hit the tab "AGPS", make sure "Enable A-GPS" was checked, then hit the tab "EPO" and make sure the "enable EPO" was checked, then hit the tab "GPS", then hit the button "GPS (off)", after u hit it, it will become GPS (on)" (this part is quite important)

then go back to "location" n hit "YGPS"

under " satellite"

u shoule see circles with some red dots, at the bottom, u see few lines, if every thing is ok, u will see green bar within seconds,if u don't see after 1 minutes, then hit the tab "information", then hit " full" n " Agps restart" then hit the tab "satellite" to check again if the bars show

the above mrethod should get u to work with the gps

Sorry about your screen, just wondering.Can you tell if its a glass screen or not? I know its not Gorilla Glass but not sure if its just plastic?

Its definately Glass, no doubt about that !

Thats fine but in this special case i wish it would've been pastic...

I am certainly not an expert as I simply cram the new info each time I want to upgrade my phone and then i forget it all. The thing is you need to read all the tutorial and guide based threads and it takes time. I'll try to give you quick rundown of the basics as I understand them.

1. You need root. To get root you need to install some phone drivers so search for "pdanet" and install it to your pc. Then search for "eroot" and download it and run it while your phone is connected to your pc. Now your phone should be rooted.

2. Next you follow a CWM guide and install CWM. CWM boots before anything else and will let you install new roms and googleapp packages.

3. Download the miui rom for fireflyv65 and put it on your phone's sd card.

4. Download the gapps for 4.2.1 and put it on your sd card. (If your Rom is 4.2.1 based then your gapps must be 4.2.1 based also)

5. Boot to CWM and make a backup.

6. Do a factory reset and wipe the cache partition and dalviq cache.

7. Boot to CWM and run the miui rom zip file from your sd card and then reboot.

8. Boot again to CWM and run the gapps (google apps) file you have on your sd card. Reboot again and then you run the play store and install mobile uncle.

I'm sure I left out a best practice or 2 but that is the basics. Have fun.

Well, the do sell the other octa-powered phone (http://dealsprime.com/teamgee-super...s-5-octa-5410-8-core-8-ips-1280-800-16gb.html ) for a similar price (although 1280x800, however 8" instead of 6.45") - so the price seems to be OK. They have a video review of an actual phone as well, so doesn't seem to be fake... Has anyone bought the TeamGee Super8 yet?

What's the official website of Firefly?
[Android General] stevenma61:
91firefly.com

i don't really think that is their official web, one thing for sure, firefly must be at the back.

the tablet is always cheaper than a phone by 10-20% at a same spec. (of course not by the size)
[Android General] enderffx:
Hi !

Searching for it [MENTION=222739]google[/MENTION] brings up quite some shops & reviews, BUT:

Whenever the images/videos were sharp enough it clearly read "4 quad" on the backside.

So i guess its just our "good old" V65 sold by some smart*sses...

Inew I6000 DEAD :Plz Help" !!!

Thanks for all of you whom are supporting in solving this issue, plz let me explain what has happend to troubleshoot it further:

1- The phone was working fine with no issues for around 3 weeks since I bought it..

2- One day when it was in idle mode, it got powered off by it self, after which I turned it back on and it turned on normally. But after 3/4 minutes it went back to turned off state. Plz note that the battery was charged and at 80% state (it was charged all the last night). Now I turned it ON and it turned on in normal state but again after 3/4 minutes it went powered off again..

3- Now after the 2nd time turning off, it did not turned on even I tried these steps as advised: 1> Charged again 2> Replaced with a new battery (I bought 1 extra earlier) 3> To cable flash, down loaded MTK preloader drivers to connect it with my Win-7 (64-bit) computer but the computer did not recoganized the phone, even after installing the drivers 4> Then I have another Zopo ZP950+ mobile with MT6589 processor and I connected it with the computer to get the drivers installed and the computer did that with no issues. 5> Now after installing the drives with the help of zopo mobile, I re-connected my Inew (with battery discinnected) to the computer and then the computer detected "Unknown device" and the installation of the drivers failed (for inew) in the end 6> Now my computer is not detecting Inew at all and when I connect/dis connect it with the computer, nothing happens..!!:crying:

Dear experts, what to do in this case now...plz support. Do you think I need to dismantle the mobile and do some thing with the "Test point" and grounding process?

Thanks in advance

try to connect yr phone(take out the battery / without battery in the phone) to the computer, if u hear a sound from the computer ( something like "ding dong or dong dong,)

that means u have 99% to recover back yr phone
[Android General] Lodhi007:
Inew I6000 Dead

Hi,

Yes the phone did the sound while connecting without battery but in device manager (Win-7) it showed as "unknown device" and later on it even stopped producing this sound..! any suggestions plz?:confused:
[Android General] stevenma61:
if the computer gave u a sound, then u r ok, try reistall yr driver, ( search tru the web), then download the cable flash rom, then flash again.

if u connect yr phone (without the battery) to the computer. it gives u a sound. then go to device manager( or u can open this before hand), if u can't see an unknown device, that means u have installed the driver correctly. then u can start o flash yr cable flash as normal. ( if u did not install the driver correctly, then it will show u an unknown device)

edit

you can see the phone under device manager under port n com for 1-2 sec , then it will disappear. then u r ok, the driver was installed correctly.

Can somebody please post some sample pictures and video taken with i6000/V65 camera? Are they comparable with galaxy s4 / note2 / note 3 picture quality?

for quality comapre to Samsung/HTC, i will say , definitely, it is still behind , for normal daily use, it should be enough.

I will say if u are good camera user, then u can take better picture in Inew6000/FireflyV65 than a person who don't know much about camera

yes, it came rooted, no need to root. i had installed this rom on my phone. the signal bar seems improved. but i am quite doubeful about it

the signal strength under phone setting, it shows 8asu, seldom goes to 10asu or above (at home), but the signal bar at the status bar shows full bar. will confirm later after i use it for few more days.

iNew and orientphone

I have two questions:

1. Can anyone tell me that the iNew i6000 supports the 1900mhz band or if 3g will work in the USA on At&t just off the 850 band?

2. I am also interested in purchasing a smaller sized phone, the Orient N3 Plus. Would this phone get a 3g signal in the USA even though it states it only supports 850/2100mhz?

I hope someone can give me a straight answer. I have searched through this forum and others. I have called straight talk, at&t, and emailed several of the inew and orientphone makers, but no one can give me a direct answer whether it will work.

Heres what I am certain of:

I know it will get a 2g signal

I know this is the phone I want

I know that this phone might work

What I don't know is a definite answer of if it will work in the USA and receive a 3g connection

Thanks In advance for any responses.

18MP camera?

Just picked up a black iNew after selling my white i6000. Specs show 13MP camera, but the stock camera app in the phone shows I can set the resolution to 18MP, as well. Anyone else notice the same?
[Android General] whats77inaname:
18MP confirmed

Took a couple pics @ the 18MP setting, and the properties show 4928 x 3696 w/a file size of 2MB = 18MP :D
[Android General] y2viks:
I've updated to the latest Firefly ROM (posted a few posts back) and with the stick app the highest MP I can select is 13
[Android General] whats77inaname:
When it arrived yesterday, the stock ROM was already 4.2.1, so I didn't feel the need to upgrade to another ROM. The only thing I've done is root it, so it came like this right out of the box.
[Android General] y2viks:
ahh cool

the things I've noticed with the new ROm that I like over the old ones are:

the bootloader is silent :D

Poweramp music player actually responds correctly to when I press a button on my headphones

I can download flash files off streaming sites as the file itself rather than having to play it straight away in MX player

the signal seems to be a lot better for me (I live in England)

very happy with this ROM at the moment :)
[Android General] stevenma61:
the signal bar at the status bar is fake,

if u look into setting- sim status. u could see the signal strength

for my case usually i get the signal stregth around 8 asu inside my house (consider weak signal) , but the status bar will show full bars.

If i use different carrier's sim card, then i can see my signal strength goes to 16 to 24 asu.

so it depends on the carrier signal strength at yr area. And the layout of the anttena of Inew6000/firefly in not good.

If i use other phone, i don't have this signal problem.

lag

can someone pls help me with the lag in games like modern combat 4 and real racing ? i see other chinese phones running this games with mtk6589 + 1gb but my inew with the stock rom is lagging soo much
[Android General] y2viks:
There's definitely an issue with this phones signal for me too

what I've done to change it was to go into:

Settings

More (under data usage)

Mobile Networks

3G service

GSM/UMTS Network Preferences

I went from WCDMA only to GSM/WCDMA (auto mode)

since then my phone signal is always working. Data wise is did only connect me at 8kbps, but when I move to a H+ area, it auto connected me to that. Much happier with the signal now :)

Hi Experts,

My Inew I6000 2GB/32GB is still not recoganized by windows-7 (64bit) (as I am trying to cable flash it via sp flash tool) as per recomended earlier..

after trying all possible tips, tricks to install usb drivers, now while connecting it without battery, NO sound is produced by the PC as well..!!

Plz help me if some one know how to tackle this completly dead situation or how to hardware reset this Inew I6000?

Thanks and I'll donate to your paypal account if your help works.

[Android General] stevenma61:
1 - try to plug in any usb flash drive or any sd card to the computer, can u hear a sound?

2 - then try to connect yr phone (without battery) to the computer, can u hear a sound?

outcome (A)

if step 1 , u cannot hear a sound, u r quite safe, most likely yr computer UBS port is not working or yr computer sound driver is not working

fix the computer first.

outcome (B)

if step 1 - u can hear a sound, and step 2, u cannot hear a sound, most likely u had really hard brick yr phone.

try the following to see if u can hear a sound

A) try to press n hold the "power" button n connect yr phone(without battery) to the computer

B) or press n hold the "Vol up"................................................

C) or press n hold the "Vol down" ..........................................

D) or press n hold the "Home" button ........................

Hi,

The usb port is working as I've connected other storage devices and they are detected. But unfortunately after trying all of the mentioned tips, the phone is not being detected by the PC (windows-7 64bit) and no sound is produced. Strange thing is that phone came to this state while it was working fine..I think it needs a hardware reset but I do not know the points and the procedure for Inew I6000..any more suggestions or any reference to similar cases on the discussion kindly so plz let me know.

Thanks..!
[Android General] stevenma61:
ya, look like yrs is hard brick.

try again with above combination again

but plug yr phone(without the battery) to the computer, then reinsert back the battery (this is some sort like short circuit the MTK chip), then see if u can hear a sound.

or press vol up n vol down at the same time

u could search "test point" in google or youtube

I don't know the test point of the Inew6000, if i come across on the web, i will let u know.

Also, make sure yr USB cable is functioning

Hi all !

You may remember i have a phone with a crack on the front glass...

So if anyone has a hard bricked Firefly V65 or iNew i600 i would love to buy it to combine my motherboard with your screen.

Just lets talk via PM and we can have a deal (with or without accessories).

[Android General] Th3Dictator:
I personally wouldn't purchase a chinese phone, for the reason they use inferior hardware most of the time and software always sucks if they aren't android.
[Android General] enderffx:
Hi !

I would say its a bit harsh to judge "chinese phones" that way.

You are probably aware that most phones (including iCrap) are made in China nowadays, aren't you ?

So its just a matter of price for value and Quality control.

And some of the manufacturers excel in their support, some don't.

For the i6000 its too early to see but the basic quality is already very nice.

I am personally VERY happy that i dropped my $300 i6000 on the street and not my SONY Xperia Z Ultra (which i would have bought if it weren't for the i600 to come out with sensible screen size).

e.g. the repait of my Galaxy Note 2 was the same price as the whole i6000.

Its all about "best bang for the buck" and what you are willing to endure for it :)

Hi !

I have to say that 6.5" is enough for me.

I am still on the verge to say its too large but it fits 75% of all my pockets.

It seems my perfect phone size is somewhere around 6", the Note2 was slightly too small, the i6000 is MAYBE a bit too big but i guess i am fine.

So for me ( and most people with normal size pants ) 8" really is too huge...

Hey there Pal I feel your pain. I bought the Inew 6000 just a few days ago. I had a cincinnati bell sim card and couldn't get any data at all.

I went into an AT&T store and they popped a simcard into it and I was getting 3g solid and they said 4g H+ ? All I know is I'm getting plenty fast data speeds and my coverage holds up strong all around the cincinnati OH area. I hope that helps you.

if you go ATT get the prepay plan its cheaper and works great.

Hi guys, I'm planning to buy the iNew i6000 Advanced version (with 2/16 GB).

A couple of questions first:

Does this phablet come with accelerometer/magnetometer/gyrometer/compass sensors ?

Does it support WiFi direct ? WiFi dual band (5 Ghz) ?

Does it support Miracast ? (When you go to settings - display - it must have "wireless display")

Thank you !

At the minute there is a 6000 on its way to me, first thing, is the gps ok without doing anything or do i have to install anything to get a fix more quicker. Second, is the phone ok with stock rom, if not what would you suggest as this group is flooded with different roms etc, thanks in advance.
[Android General] enderffx:
Hi !

My GPS is quick as hell, there are some people who suffer problems, no idea if its their ROM or Hardware...

So good luck for that :)

IF it turns out to be a problem those guys mostly had luck with "Mobileuncle" tool for MTK Chipsets.

One of the options is to fix the GPS Problem...

My prefered Firmware is the latest FireFly V65 stock (which is rooted !!!).

All fine, no more fancy charger behaviour.

Just go to needrom.com, there is a firefly section, the latest stock rom (09. October) is what you want.
