I'll keep that in mind if there are problems. Besides, if something goes wrong I can always go back to 10.0

Thanks for all the help! :highfive:
[HTC One S] Rodrows:
I don't understand what happened.

I downloaded the RUU for my phone based on the getvar all commands, installed it, re-unlocked the phone, re-installed TWRP, re-rooted the phone, and after an hour I'm still where I started: hboot is not 2.15 so 10.1.3 does not install.

I can still install CM10.0 and restore the backup as expected, but I'm puzzled. I don't know what is wrong with this.

Can't I just get a 2.15 hboot file/zip from somewhere and flash it via fastboot? unless it doesn't work like that, then I guess I'll have to stay on 10.0.
[HTC One S] tivofool:
What is your CID? Sounds like we reed to find a newer RUU
[HTC One S] Rodrows:
I don't know about that CID thing but the file I downloaded from http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Ville was this one:

RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_Vodafone_UK_2.38.161.6_Radio_1.08es.50.02.21_10.09c.50.04L_release_280400_signed.exe

It matched the getvar info perfectly, and since I'm S-On that's the only one I can use
[HTC One S] tivofool:
Yep, that would be the RUU that your phone came with when you brought it home from the store, but that is Ice Cream Sandwich version of android.

Now we need someone who knows RUUs and can tell you if Vodafone has a Jelly Bean RUU.

Or now could be a good time to S-Off your phone, then you can run whatever RUU you want. :)

Root Gionee P2

The easiest way of rooting Gionee P2 is by using Framaroot app...

Click on SuperSU,then click on exploit Boromir..After that it would display a message telling to reboot...Voila..now you are rooted with the SuperSU app installed...

Try the latest version of the app(having exploit for mediatek CPU)

Does this phone have mt6572 or mt6572W SOC? are these two different ? mmx canvas fun a74 has the same SOC.. but it seems to run games much better? same 512mb ram, 4.2.2.. so i was wondering if there is an SOC difference?
[Android General] ShaurBhai:
GiONEE P2

GiONEE P2 has mt6572W chip...BTW there are 3 models of MT6572(dual core)-MT6572(2G only),MT6572TD(TD-SCDMA for China) andMT6572W(WCDMA=3G compatible)..chip architecture and graphics (Mali 400 MP) are same in all three..

MMX canvas A74 and GiONEE P2 SOC'S are same!! Software addons make them different..
[Android General] rjspark89:
ok thanx bro.. i thought the w- stood for a difference in specs, hmm.. so any idea what to do speed up games? btw how much free ram are you getting out of the box?because as far as i can see RAM is the only thing holding back this device...
[Android General] ShaurBhai:
Got around 230~250 mb free...

For free ram I use RAM Booster app..

BTW I checked it also supports swapping RAM memory to sdcard. So you can try swapper apps..
[Android General] rjspark89:
hmm.. well i cant figure out whats wrong then.. i can understand mmx or someone rigging benchmark scores,..mm a74 scores higher with 41fps on nenamark 2... but if it was just the benchmark then ... i wouldn't have bothered... but they were playing asphalt 8 on the device with no lags!.. but the pioneer was showing lag with asphalt 7! confusing.. i wonder whats up..maybe the fps is locked on the p2?? any theories?

i wouldnt have bothered if it was just benchmarks.. but its actually showing a diff in games.. like asphalt...thats whats confusing..any ideas?
[Android General] ShaurBhai:
can't tell...am a newbie..but maybe due to implementation of software..MMX is near stock android but gionee has customized it..the interface and all..try disabling the memory eating apps(go launcher etc. and use low memory launcher(holo,smart launcher etc)..

and use ram swapper app and see what happens..I don't have large games to test the lag..
[Android General] rjspark89:
well anyways you sound pretty well informed for a newbie, keep it bro :). also how much did buy the phone for? here it is selling for 6000,
[Android General] ShaurBhai:
I bought it for 5700....very impressed by the quality and the brand

GiONEE P2 Stock Recovery

One can access the stock recovery in the phone by the following steps-

Switch off ur phone.

Press volume down+power off button simultaneously.

Then you will see the android robot with an exclamation mark with "No command" written below it.

Press the power button and you can see the recovery menu..

But you can only navigate by volume down button,volume up is for selecting the option.

You can make a backup,install zip etc.

Hope it helps!

gps

Bro, how is the gps? is it accurate and lock onto position quickly?
[Android General] ap6709:
GPS is awesome.

The GPS in Gionee Pioneer P2 is accurate to 2 metres (The used the GPS Test app) and regarding the time taken for locking depends on your location like if it is an empty field then in 30-40 seconds and if you are inside the building then it really takes time because you are actually receiving low signal inside.

---------- Post added at 01:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------

Do other Pioneer P2 owners also have a problem with the picture quality of the phone? I find the pics taken with stock camera a bit grainy. I have installed 3rd party cameras but the improvement is not so much. Even though it has a 5 MP camera but does not give as good pics as my 5MP Samsung Galaxy Ace (s5830) used to.

Please suggest some ways to improve the picture quality of pics.

Hi amsad,

The following link has the backup file that was created by the stock recovery..

http://www.4shared.com/file/9seDNMMT/userdata_20131024_082052.html

To apply- Go to recovery mode and select restore from sdcard and then select this file..

If this works, awesome..if it doesn't, go to your nearest service center(until another way is found)

Easy Unbrick for Gionee Pioneer P2

As your phone is still in warranty and only boot looping just go to your nearest service centre and they will fix it for you. I had changed few system fonts and it was getting into boot loop and so I visited my nearest service centre and they will deliver it to me tomorrow by 12 O' clock.

---------- Post added at 06:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 AM ----------

Bro,

This is not stock recovery but your own personal data as the stock recovery is about 2-2.5 GB and your file is just 47 MB. One suggestion though is that if you leave your user data then others flashing it would gt all your contact details of your friends (and girlfriends, if any). Please remove it as it does not serve its purpose on the contrary wastes internet data and may spell trouble for you too.

---------- Post added at 06:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 AM ----------

Hi,

The company mods have tweaked the stock ROM to use less battery and hence Asphalt 8 lags and so does Asphalt 7. If you have the battery usage specs then you will know this. Pioneer P2 is great at providing longer battery usage times( with 1700mAh battery). Correct me if I am wrong.
[Android General] amsad:
heyy guys there is no service center in my state please someone should help me
[Android General] rjspark89:
yeah, i know you can lock the fps on your phone, that could impact gaming. so i guess we have to figure how to undo these changes, any ideas where to start?
[Android General] ShaurBhai:
To unlock fps

Open your build.prop file in /system/ using ES file explorer or root explorer and add this line at the bottom-

debug.gr.swapinterval=0

Save and reboot!

Make sure you have a backup of the original build.prop file!

Hope it Helps!

Android Kitkat launcher on your device

Hey all! Now you can try the latest launcher of Nexus 5 in your Gionee P2..Just follow the steps-

Download this zip- http://d-h.st/f6b

Extract the contents and install all(normal way)

Then press Home and select your default launcher

Enjoy..

For FC issues with Google Voice, press home,then menu,select settings,then select voice,change the default language to any other(English(UK) for example) and then perform a voice search and then change to the default language again..Voila,FC's will disappear! If FC issues occur again after reboot,then repeat the above steps..

Hope it helps!

Guys i have a issue with the phone the phone does gets warm at the bottom with normal usage with games it gets hot

atleast my p2 gets need to confirm with other user????????????
[Android General] ShaurBhai:
See, it is normal if phones get warm..its due to usage.. And especially its a mediatek based phone.. But in my usage, it has warmed slightly(no effect) and at most it warms more but its normal.. Does your phone become too hot(mean impossible to hold).. Then you need a service check
[Android General] anand1712:
No it doesnt gets too hot it stays bit warm with normal usage and more warm while playing games but doesnt gets that hot were you cant hold it.

i have rooted my P2 and also have disabled gionee extender,maps,email using sys app remover so just wanted to know if its because of that????

Yea the phone is good man..as am using xpose framework to mod my present rom...anyway is good but thd phone lacks enough ram thats the only thing holding the phone back..""
[Android General] rileysnotz:
Well I've been using this phone for about a week. I'm pleasantly surprised by the build quality..... It's great. As far as the performance goes it's great in the 6k range. The ram like many have rightly said is the bottleneck..... 1gb of ram would be perfect.... The stock launcher is a bit laggy.... I've replaced it with the nexus launcher. No lag at all. In terms of gaming dead trigger works great on low and medium graphics... On high graphics there are framerate and lag issues but it's still playable... subway surfers and bouncy seed work good as expected....

In terms of audio the external speaker is average.... On aftermarket headphones the sound is comparatively good.... The call ringer is lower than I would have liked....

The brightness and visibility in the sun are good enough.... Touch sensitivity is excellent.... Battery life easily takes me thru a day with 3g on all the time and moderate usage....

I normally have between 125 - 175 mb of ram.... Anyway to sum it up for the price this phone is great....:)

Why are you checking WLAN direct. Its not required to connect to your router.

Secondly it looks like a router configuration issue. Try resetting the router. Changing from WPA to wpa2 etc. Used to happen with my belkin router and my iball tab but the tab works fine with my digisol router. I had to reset my belkin to factory and then retry with a new password. Trial and error.

Also remember to forget wireless network from the phone as well and retry

[Android General] Ktonne09:
Same here

You flashed another ROM (which has a Walton logo contained inside), now you want to return to original ROM. So you flash original ROM (which does not contain any logo).

That is why the old Walton logo is retained.

My (unproffesional) advice, try flashing a ROM that has a logo contained inside which you like. I'm using miui v4 logo for my gionee p2! Since I can't get the original logo.

BTW I'm using miui v5 custom ROM n its awesome! You should try it.

I called up a guy at pebble. He told me that it is a hardware problem and you should email customer support.. they will send you a replacement pebble.
[Pebble] alliktaavo:
Hi!

Could you post that picture on an external site? Would really like to see, if it resembles what my pebble does, but for some reason I've had problems with pictures and files stored on xda (~pictures that appear as thumbnails).

Anyways, what mine does: at random, the text gets a lot smaller and then it's certain, that it's soon going to slow down, then crash, and finally reboot - have had it under a week, I've had only one full charge, but I can't see how long my pebble lasts, because it reboots and that starts the up time counter again. I'd say it does that once every day or two, and when I flash wachfaces, -apps a lot, then more frequently, then also the flashing stops with half a loading bar and says everything is completed, but nothing happend on the pebble

Hope you understand what I meant, as I once again ended up just rambling on and on! :D
[Pebble] punktnet:
Received a confirmation for replacement few days ago. Le't see...

Ebay...

[Pebble] Jolest:
Go to eBay. Search for "pebble watch screen protector".

I've had most luck with ones marked xtremeguard or sshieldz, but even those tend to peel at the corners after a month or so.

Avoid any that only cover the square screen part of the face.

Be cautious about the colored/textured ones. Some of them only cover the colored part and leave the screen unprotected.
