Hello guys

I received the phone today, and very disappointed (bought to fct)

the design is very similar to the real note 3 BUT.....

multi window doesn't work (it opens only one app at the time and when you drag a second app it replaces the previous)

vibration not working

not full translation(some words still in chinese)

charging always shows 26%

pinch to zoom doesn't work on web brower and every other apps except photos

smart pause and smart scrool doesn't work

camera very bad quality

a lot of original android options not present(swype, visual voicemail....)

gps doesn't work

a lot of problems and no rom available to solve it

so guys I ensure you, don't buy this crap, pay a little extra and get the real one it works 100 times better

i regret a lot to have paid 200USD for this phone

hope i can help
[Android General] ajstarseven:
what the VVVV its the clone ....and its a first version ....

at least the smart pause, smart scroll, air gestures are working dude !.....quality wise what u expect from them ? ITS A CLONE !!!

as long I can play with the roms etc since I only pay USD200 .......then paying USD700 !!!
[Android General] iamwrong:
i am sure that the review written by the writer made some mistake.
[Android General] lakdeuz:
I Know it's a clone but i didnt buy it for smart gestures but for Android and touchwizz functionnalities.

It is just my personnal review, and i hope There will be some updates in the future.

By the way smart pause and smart scroll doesnt work on mine, only air gestures and not always works.

I am not here to be a troll guys. Just to let future buyers know what they will get.

a beautiful phone that looks like the real note 3, but full of problems...

thanks guys

Not to buy yet

Hi, installed all versions possible. The phone has bugs.

The major is about google play services, now ay to have it up and running.

It means problems with all Goolge apps using that, like hangouts, Plus, Maps, etc.

Other bugs are:

- battery indication not trustable, decharging faster (or batteries faulty?)

- dialer not show contact pictures on calls (both incoming and outgoing)

More: S-Pen is a toy, hardly can be usable

The pros is a good display, thin and a fashionable style

At the end I cannot suggest to buy it until a new ROM is not available, there are better phones at lower price
[Android General] cykless:
I have now ordered the phone at Mixeshop.

If it's **** I sell it again and just get me the No.1 N3.

Therefore I do not care it is always just the everyday mobile phone are times when my otherwise broken.

Hi,

I've bought the HDC N9000 1GB RAM, 4 GB ROM,

The problem is the ROM, not 4.3 as explained + with several bugs. Actually the phone is unusable.

More the pen is not sensitive, you cannot use it.

I'm asking for refund.

[Android General] hamsam:
This is not worth to buy I checked its rom to see if its really android 4.3 but I was dissapointed because the api level was 17 in build.prop and lable was changed to android 4.2 to 4.3 which mean no 4.3 only android 4.2.................

gapps

Hi,

yesterday I've tried the following:

- removed all gapps via link2sd (not take care of error messages, the app remove them)

- start in CWM

- cache and dalvik cache reset

- install zip file. I've installed gapps for 4.2.1 (remember the rom is not 4.3)

- after reboot google play service has worked. After one day they seems stable

Now we have still issues on browser (not pinch to zoom), unstable air gesture, rom in 4.2.1, dialer not show contact pictures,… but at least it is more usable.

Hope to have a new rom soon
[Android General] richs09:
yes this phone has problems, things dont work as they should, needs improvements and i dont really have any problems with it not being true 4.3

but its still verry usable i use it daily some things get annoying most annoying thing is the battery

other things dont really bother me

but there seems to be a new model out called Ulefone Star U9000

all specs seem the same quad core 720p 1gb ram

but this one has 8 mp camera and 4.2

but the color of the camera matches how its spose to be o n the original has usb 3.0 stylus is said to work
[Android General] ajstarseven:

[Android General] dubbactrumpetmsu:
I unfortunately became the victim of owning this piece of crap thanks to a failed Craigslist transaction yesterday. I'm trying to see the up side, but right now the battery is the bigges piece of crap ever. Won't charge right, drains like hell, and GPS is nonexistant. I'm so pissed at this guy I want to take him to court if I can find him...he passed it off as an original using original packaging. Anyone at all have tips to make the battery suck less?

This one that I have has all samsung markings, everything seems legit. I didn't realize it until I tried to root and "download mode" was in Chinese. Sigh.
[Android General] zetex:
yes get a genuine samsung battery, that will help a lot....

what it says on the side of a clone battery is not what is really will be
[Android General] dubbactrumpetmsu:
Mine all say Samsung, Made in Korea, 3.8 V Li-ion BATTERY 12.16Wh

Standard: GB/T 18287-2000 Type: 3.8V Li-ion Battery

Charge Limit Voltage: 4.35V

On the other side it has the "Please refer to manual before using battery." in a few languages, and below has:

B800BC 3200mAh

and a S/N, but two of them are the same, which makes me think those are fake too: AAaD830rS/2-B.

I'm attempting to gather all the information I can on him to take him to court to either get my phone that I traded back, or the retail cost of a real Note 3. Somehow I don't think it's going to be easy, but it's worth a shot. I suppose...
[Android General] zetex:
sorry but no matter what it says on the battery its not true, its just a direct copy of the samsung note 3 battery.

in reality its probably about 2600mah max

and its probably lasting half at day at most...if your lucky...

sorry
[Android General] dubbactrumpetmsu:
Will a legit Note 3 battery fit in this one? Maybe I can get one from a carrier store.

I've also noticed that if I'm charging it on my computer, and unplug it, then plug it back in, it goes up a percent...almost every time you do it. Strange...but worse, is that sometimes it will say 28% and charging..if I unplug it, it drops 5% instantly. What the heck?
[Android General] ZakBrindle:
I have the same problem, the battery is crap, and thats an understatement.. Im pretty sure a normal battery fits so i will be ordering one for £8 off amazon soon :)

Im sure it will be worth it
[Android General] dubbactrumpetmsu:
Hopefully so. I got 3 batteries with this one and I found one that's holding better, so I'm using that one. I just have no idea if I'll be able to get my phone back or get money for a real note 3. So mad...
[Android General] ZakBrindle:
I only got 1 battery :o haha

and i had same problem with my S4 replica, a Samsung battery fixed it tho battery last longer than all day with use, so hopefully a cheap £8 bat will do same :)

Just wondering when you load the latest rom from needrom

How do you get the samsung boot and shutdown animation back?

Thanks a lot

Ian
[Android General] teicapo:
Hi,bootanimation (video+audio) are stored in /system/media.

Being rooted and using root explorer you can delete/copy other files there, like Sam ones.
[Android General] zetex:
hi

where do i download the animations and sounds from?

thanks a lot

Ian
[Android General] teicapo:
Hi, I've used one of ROM uploaded in needrom (the third). I've loaded it and copied to SD, then loaded the latest.

Actually in ROM we have 3 animations: 2 in startup, 1 in shutdown.

Files in /system/media are related to 1 start/1 shutdown. The first I was not able to find somewhere (likely it is the kernel)

So for having it, I loaded the latest ROM, changed bootanimation, made a backup on CWM, loaded the third ROM, restored the latest rom on it.

So now I have the first boot of the 3rd ROM, with Note3 text, and the latest ROM with Sam animations, exactly as the original
[Android General] zetex:
That sounds like a bit of a nightmare to follow without the links to the right file

Can you put the links up here

Thanks a lot

Ian
[Android General] zetex:
Manage to sort out the boot animation. But i have a boot screen when I first power on the note 3

Want want mobile screen pops up before the samsung note 3 logo appears for a brief second before thr samsung swirls begins

Does anyone know how i remove this from boot. Looked in system/media and cant find it

Really doing my head in

Thanks in advance

Ian
[Android General] teicapo:
Hi, I don't have links on sam bootanimation files, so I try to explain better what I did.

@ needrom you'll find several ROMs. One of them, the third released the 8th Oct has full Sam animation.

When I say full it means Note 3 animation + Sam with sound. Morover tehre the sam with sound at switch off of the phone.

In the latest ROM you'll find all want want animations.

So I made the following steps:

- loaded the 3rd ROM

- copied sam animations (sam with sound) from /system/media to ext SD. Used ES file explorer (save all spare files or if u want save all media directory)

- loaded the 6th ROM (the latest)

- replaced the bootanimation with the above saved files

----------------- in this way we'll have wantwant first boot animation then sam with sound. We need to remove wantwant.

I don't know where is teh file, so I've done the following:

- start in CWM

- backup of the above ROM (6th+changed sam boot) in CWM

- loaded again the 3rd

- restore the ROM from CWM

So finally you'll have Note3 logo instead of wantwant.

Hopefully this is more clear

HDC N9002

It looks like new clone has released recently HDC N9002 ( MT6589T @ 1.5GHz ).

1. Can anyone provide a review for this model ? or Does anyone have positive experience with this model ?

2. Do these mentioned issues (like Facebook and app store issues) exist with stock ROMs or just happen after installing a custom ROM ? I m intending to buy this phone for Skype. Will I be able to install Skype via App Store ?

3. Do you guys have some idea about the radiation level of these cloned phones ? I have heard that usually those cloned phones have much higher radiation levels than original ones (youtube has a lot of them). So Does the discount really worth in a long run ?

4. What about no1-n3 ? Is it good enough ? Can anyone provide a good review for that ?

What ever you do, don't try and flash a rom before you have a full back up of the rom it came with

When you connect your phone to your PC and open mtkdroid, does your phone appear in the left hand side?

Yes still no image when call..but the phone is in great condition right now...only the biggest bug, no pinch to zoom on browser (fix on other browser example firefox) on maps very annoying when want to zoom in and out. if anyone know how to turn the fake storage capacity (in the settings) into the real one? i guess it will make more perfect clone...
[Android General] teicapo:
Hi,

same issues. Stock browser zoom only with double tip as well as chrome. Opera and Firefox have pinch to zoom but not synchronization with google account (needed for bookmarks).

Missing picture is annoying as well, especially because I think should be easy to fix in the source code. I've tried to change contactsS4.apk directly on system/app but without success.

Fake storage and android version too but it is less important.
