Thanks for the info, I might be buying this phone. I had a question though and thought maybe you'd know. I'm torn between getting the v8 or v9. To me it looks like the v8 has better specs but have seen people claim the v9 is better.

V8 – $168 ( a few different sites, same price)

V9 – $249 ($209 on one site)

V8 – NVIDIA Tegra 3 Quad-core 1.5GHz

V9 – NVIDIA Tegra 3 AP33 Quad-core 1.5GHz

V8 – 1GRAM,16GB Nash flash built in – up 64GB card

V9 – 1GRAM,4GB ROM – up to 32GB card

V8 – 4.5 inch IPS Capacitive Multitouch – 1280 X 720 pixels

V9 – 4.5 inch IPS Capacitive Multitouch – 960 X 540 pixels

V8 – 1.0MP front camera,8.0MP back camera

V9 – 0.3MP front camera,5.0MP back camera

V8 – Built in Battery 1820mAh

V9 – 1800mAh

V8 – 12,511 Antutu Benchmark

V9 – 12,015 Antutu Benchmark

Just wondering if you looked at the v9 and thought the v8 was the better buy because thats what im leaning towards.
[Android] fafastrungen:
Hi, I was in your situation too before I've bought the V8.

I needed a phone with 3G (worldwide), gps, wifi and bluetooth and V8 fulfilled my needs.

Beside every features each one has, I can tell you about the V8, which I finally bought.

- Screen: Excelente.

- Response: Very good (not excelent because I'm little fussy)

- GPS: Very good (not with all roms, but with stock roms).

- WiFi: Very good, stable.

- Bluetooth: Very good (not a big requirement).

- Battery: Very poor (I'll explain bellow).

- App: I don't care, I put my owns.

- Ergonomic: Not bad, a little bit for my taste,

- Construction: Good enough.

The big problem all phone has right now is battery and V8 maybe it's the worse. Using with the screen on, I don't think it'll last 6 hours without 3G, only WiFi.

For example, a 30% in less an hour. Too much for me.

I think V9 must be a little better because the screen is smaller, but I'm not sure and I don't know, you must ask someone who have it.

There are resources in the web, not much. The problem with it is the language which is in chinese, so you must use a translator which of course its not perfect.

In general it's a very good phone for my, it gives me all I need at a low price. The difference in prices is not much, but why am I gonna pay more for something that gives me the same at a lower price ?

I hope I helped you, anything you need just let me know.

@ fafastrungen

Hi,

First of all I would like to tell you that it is really nice from you to reply in such approach as you did.

I understood greatly about the V8 specs from your impressions and comments. Thank you for that.

I wonder if I can ask from you for something that means great deal for me.

I already saw some picture samples taken in the daylight with the V8, I was greatly impressed with

the camera quality.

My question for you is if you can take photos using the flash of the V8 in dark conditions/no light at all.

?

I can't find anywhere, not even from sellers or reviews about the V8 photos in the total darkness.

I'm interested to know if the V8 can take night/low light/total darkness photos.

Can you please take some photos in the darkness and upload them for me (us) to see them?

I will ever highly appreciate your help with this.

Thank you :)
[Android] fafastrungen:
Hi dude, no problem about darkness pictures.

Take a look at this link:

h t t p s : / / w w w . d r o p b o x . c o m / s c / 0lsi34vjust9nuk / 6Ytdcf-_hn

These were taken in total darkness (sorry about redundancy) without any light, only flash which is very powerful.
[Android] yosi s:
great job fox
[Android] nhbgvf:
Thank you fafastrungen :)

fafastrungen, you're the best. just to let you know that you are the only source in the entire internet that shows how the V8 takes photos in darkness. Finally a Chinese phone that has a proper flash :)

one more question though, can you please tell me if there is a small delay when you're clicking on the shot button until actually the photo is being taken or is it immediate (like nexus 4, iphone 5, haier w910)?

i have a little kid and he keeps moving all the time, so when I have a millisecond that he's not moving, I need the camera response time to be quick.

Thank you again for the flash photos, you totally rock! like your guitar :)

In which order if i want to install the stock rom?
[Android] shucika:
stock rom

How i can get STOCK ROM?

Following link but i cant get anything!

Something wrong with link?
[Android] foulari:
You must erase the blanks between the letters!!!
[Android] fafastrungen:
No delay at all, it's inmediate.

Camera has stabilization option and it works pretty well.
[Android] arthisoftseo:
Thanks

Thanks for great information.... Keep it up..
[Android] fafastrungen:
You must go to point "D" to install stock rom.
[Android] foulari:
Can you also tell me the same thing about custom rom?

Thanks
[Android] fafastrungen:
There are differences between stock and custom rom to install.

Stock roms must be installed with NvMultiDown tool, custom roms must be installed with custom recovery, for example CWM.

Depends on what you need, just follow my guide in the right point and that's it. It's not complex once you've done one time.
[Android] foulari:
First time

This is my first time, so help me with details. For custom and stock rom please.

Thank you.
[Android] fafastrungen:
No problem man, I can help you in anything you need but ask me what you want to know because there's no more steps than I've wrote in the first thread.

In short, the first step is to install drivers, second step depends on what you want to do:

- if you want to install a custom rom, go to point "E" and do what it says.

- if you want to install a stock rom, go to point "D".

Describe what you need.
[Android] texan1501:
Apparently, I did something wrong with Chinese recovery and can't load more than a K-Touch logo. I can boot to recovery using instruction from the first post, but neither back-up, nor ROM to restore.

So, I'm trying to install drivers and copy ROM on SD card, but no luck. All I could accomplished is a drive label, but drive is not accessible.

I'm stuck. Any ideas? Is it possible to open phone and remove SD card?
[Android] fafastrungen:
You can't remove sdcard because it doesn't exists. Phone only has internal memory.

Install a stock rom, any rom you want.

You must use NvMultiDown tool which it erase all phone's memory and set it to a factory state. After that you can start over.

Pay atention on point "D" to install a stock rom because if you don't do the exact steps, maybe you get stuck one more time, but don't worry, it's almost impossible to break the phone.

Anything you need, just ask.
[Android] texan1501:
Thank you for detailed reply! Seller has emailed me drivers and I could install ROM using NvMultiDown and following your instructions. Phone is working now! THANKS!!

Now is another problem. Screen is hypersensitive, IMO. When I need just to scroll, screen accepts it as a click. Very annoying! Is it possible to adjust some settings?

BTW, which ROM would you suggest? "Google Play" must be included. :o
[Android] fafastrungen:
I only have this problem when phone is charging, screen is very hypersensitive, but when I disconnect it screen response normally. I suppose you've remove the film cover on the screen.

I don't suggest a rom, I don't like any. Right now I'm using 4.0.4 stock rom, 780818_8365_V0281.

You can check roms from here:

http://www.needrom.com/phone-roms/k-touch/k-touch-v8/

Test them all and suit yourself, this is very personal.
[Android] foulari:
I can't install drivers!!!
[Android] fafastrungen:
You have to install drivers manually. Don't let windows decide searching online. In the device manager you must specify the drivers location.

Go to step "C" in my first thread.

Language

Hi friend,

I buy one v8, its come with english and chinese language.

Its possible to flash multi language without flash custom rom?

Thanks.

Sorry for my bad english :)
[Android] fafastrungen:
Only custom roms are multilanguage. You can check Cyanogen v15, it's very stable and works great, the only thing I've found is that you must install camera app.

Stock roms comes only in english and chinese.
[Android] qualcom:
recovery in english

hello, install recovery but this in Chinese. As I can pass it to English?
[Android] fafastrungen:
Chinese version can not be passed to english.

You must install english recovery "ENG_Recovery (CWM).kz" which is in my dropbox.
[Android] qualcom:
thanks!! if I install a custom rom, the root do not need ?
[Android] fafastrungen:
No you don't.

Root is only for stock roms, custom roms are normally rooted.

Screen Touch Reversed

Dear All,

I bought V8 after a few days later the screen touch reversed.I'm trying to touch upside screen outputs is downside.I added video to youtube that link is h t t p : / / y o u t u . b e / y d D K m S 2 A E 3 0

I flashed official firmware but problem isn't changed.

Could you suggest any solution please

thanks

Jan
[Android] fafastrungen:
Hi man, that is a very odd problem.

You must at first exclude a hardware problem, so try to calibrate the screen using the tool in the stock rom. I don't remember exactly its location so you must find it by yourself, sorry, I'm using a custom rom right now.

If problem persists after calibration, try to control the phone remotely using any app from the market. Once the remote administration app is installed in both devices (server and client), test the screen from the client and check if is happening the same, if it is, is very likely that the phone has a hardware problem so you must send it to technical support.

Also you can test screen using some app, for instance Screen Touch Test or something else similar.

Let me know.

rooting this device

Thank you for sharing the instructions on how to install the customs and stock roms.

I just want to root the phone without installing a new rom. Can you please tell me how to do this? how to root the stock rom? Thanks muchly.
[Android] fafastrungen:
That is very tricky, but using the tool to root located in my dropbox link (look at the first post), you must be able to root the phone.

First you must specify in development section of settings, usb debugging. After that you must go to step B from my first post. When phone is ready and pc detected it, run "Root.bat" from root tools.

It will process several steps so be patient.

After a period of time, a legend (not in english) will appear, press ENTER and that's it.

I had to do this many many times because I coludn't connect phone with pc using drivers, so first of all install drivers and check they're correctly installed.

driver error - custom recovery

Hello,

i use step C but Windows say me that there isn't driver in your folder... I try too with driver on phone... I use Win 7 64. Any idea ?

Can you explain how you install your custom recovery ?

Thanks :)
[Android] fafastrungen:
¿in my folder?, you must copy drivers to your disk and unpack it, then do all the process and don't let windows search for drivers on the web, you must specify its location.

I'm using Win7 x64 too and I hadn't problem.

I didn't install custom recovery because it is included in cyanogen rom, but to install it you must install drivers at first anyway.

After you install drivers you can do whatever you want, but this is the first step you must do.
[Android] tj22:
rooting this device

Thank you for your kind and quick reply. I found your information very useful and helpful. :good:
[Android] Pottopix:
When I use step B and after C, there is a new element in Windows. I stop it and I try to install manually. Element's name is "APX" but when I try to install your driver, Windows say that there isn't driver for this element in the folder :(

I unzip your package, and in drivers, there are 5 folders. It's the same thing with this 5 folders...

(Sorry for my english... i'm french...)
[Android] fafastrungen:
1. Open device manager

2. right click on the new found device.

3. Update Driver Software

4. Browse my computer for driver software

5. Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer

6. Hace Disk...

7. Select driver's folder.

I have the same problem!

when i extract drivers file i get 5 folders:

What to do then?
[Android] fafastrungen:
Select the right folder based on your OS.
[Android] shucika:
I have Win 7 and any folder is the same.

[Android] fafastrungen:
I dont know any other solution, it worked without problems for me.

Try to download another driver.

CWM

OK with much difficulty i was able to eventually get the drivers installed in win 7 x 64. And was able to root the phone no problem at all with the script first time. I on the other hand have not managed to get CWM on getting the error usb device not found which is obviously not correct given that it rooted fine any ideas?

I am getting the message nv ram started but no usb device detected however android phone shows? Is there any other way to get a recovery on to this phone i really weant my gaaps installed.

Thanks in advance
[Android] fafastrungen:
The only ways to install custom recovery are:

1-Installing a rom with custom recovery in it.

2-From a signed file.

3-From installation files.

I was able to install it with 3 ways, no problem at all. At first, it was very tricky to install drivers but once it was detected everything went smooth.
[Android] desmondo1:
Thanks but how would I get a signed file or installation files. I have been trying this for hours and i am now at my wits end. I have downloaded multiple recovery files. I have scoured the net for guidance and all i can find is put phone in recovery mode and run nv flash.bat that will install TWRP or CWM but nvflash always fails, i either get unrecognised command or device. There must be an easier way. Would I be able to do it through goo.im i wonder, if i could get an APK.
[Android] desmondo1:
I think I will need to give up on this before i go completely demented. Phone is seen in upgrade mode but for some reason nvflash does not find phone, drivers are in and phone is rooted. Tried three different cables xp, win7 & win8 no joy. So wish there was some sort of update zip for this.

Nvflash starts but goes no further tried 4 different recoveries.
[Android] fafastrungen:
Try this:

1-Get a stock rom, for example the one in my dropbox folder.

2-Unzip the stock rom to a folder.

3.Get recovery from my dropbox or anywhere you want.

4-Unzip recovery to a folder.

5-Replace the stock rom "recovery.img"(2) for the custom recovery(4) .

6-Open NvMultiDown.

7-Select stock rom folder and do the process to intall a stock rom.

I've tested this step and it works, so let me know if anything happens.
[Android] desmondo1:
Hi mate,

Firstly thanks for your patience with this. I tried this and i get what we are doing but multidown is not actually responding at all all the boxes stay yellow and do nothing. The phone is seen device manager when connected.
[Android] fafastrungen:
No problem dude, I was in your situation many times and a lot of people helped me.

Be sure that drivers are correctly installed, this is the key.

Use your own drivers, they're located in the phone's memory.

Send me some images to see what's going on.
[Android] pax0r:
I thinking about buying this phone, how is the battery life on it? Could you give some review as I cant find any reliable info on internet :<
[Android] fafastrungen:
Battery sucks. It's the worse phone in this matter I've ever tested it.

Sleeping without no human interaction could last 2 days, if you use it with screen on no more than 6 hours (never tested it so I'm not sure exactly how long it last, just an average).

It's a good phone with a very good performance and price, but battery isn't good at all.
[Android] pax0r:
It has non-removable battery, right?
[Android] fafastrungen:
Nope, you can't remove battery.

For its price you can't ask too much.

I only recommend this phone if you're looking for a cheap 3G multi-band phone.

Hi, I'm using this ROM:

It's very stable and battery can last 2 day if you don't fool around too much. Everything is working: BT, GPS, WiFi, 3G, etc.

I've tried MIUI but I don't like this rom, I prefer something light and customize it at my way.

Right now with CM10 and Holo Laucnher HD phone is working flawless, but of course battery problem persists if you use it a lot.

With stock rom and same use, battery last only 1 day.

usb not found...

Ireceived my new K-Touch V8 a couple days ago and immediately set to work on the device. After a few false starts I was able to connect to USB Debugging mode and ADB detected the device. Root was successfu but I'm unable to install cmw or add gapps. Ive reinstalled the drivers multiple times aand they seem to detect in Device Manager but whenever I try to install cmw the recovery I nvflash gives a "USB Device not found". Any help would be appreciated.
[Android] fafastrungen:
Once drivers are installed correctly, don't re-install it again, leave it that way.

Maybe now drivers are installed erroneously and you gotta to re-install them.

If drivers are correctly installed and you can install stock rom but not cwm, try another way to install cwm, for example installing a rom with cwm in it.

Hello, the phone keeps rebooting when I play games (about 10-20 minutes into game). The screen freezes for a while and then the fast reboot happens (It reboots completely but faster than regular reboot). What might be the problem? It also happened during browsing the internet. Is it HW related? The RAM is probably not the problem because I am using the utility and it shows a lot of free ram during gaming. It might be the temperature, but the reboot happened during regular browsing of the internet and the device was not hot like during gaming. Currently running CM10, 4.2.2 Similar problems encountered on other ROMs too.

The drivers have never installed correctly to begin with. How do I tell if they are correctly installed? I have never had success with nvflash or nvmultidown detecting the phone. The only action that I have accomplished is the act of rooting the phone. Is it possible to install cwm via adb and install a custom ROM from there?

PS. I have tried installing drivers on 2 Windows 7 64bit machines and 1 Windows 7 32bit machine with no luck.
[Android] fafastrungen:
-Start phone and check if USB Debug is checked, if not then check it.

-Power off phone

-Press VOL UP + POWER (first press VOL UP, then POWER).

-Keep pressing until green screen appears.

-Release VOL UP but keep pressing POWER

-When black screen appears, release POWER.

-Connect USB cable, but don't use USB 3.

-Now install drivers.

This is the way to install drivers to update roms.

If you were able to root phone, the drivers were installed correctly.

Hi, it's possible to remove chinese apps, but you must root the phone first, then use a root explorer and delete everything you want.

I recommend install a custom rom with recovery in it, because the drivers problems.

If you want to install gapps you must download the right one according to your Android version, then put the file (usually called update.zip) in the sd card and boot into recovery, once in the recovery you can install gapps selecting the update.zip previously donloaded.

Any solution?

You have custom recovery translated to english.

3G deppends on bands of you country. This phone work on 5 differents bands so I don't think this is the problem.

Try different roms, but with stock rom (by the way it's not mine) it must work.

I don't have any problem with 3G, of course deppending on coverage.

Check with other phone or a tablet if you really have 3G in your area, if you do then try different roms, if none of them work then may be a hardware problem.

Yeap, this phone lacks battery duration.

There's no solution to solve sensitivity. I had a problem when I used another charger, not the phone's original, that one phone was fully charged, screen turns on and keep this way. I've solved this issue using original charger.
