How come?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thebighunt:
Hi

I'm not really satisfied by kk... I'm even thinking to go back to JB.

The battery is really an issue. It goes down fast and even after reseting the battery stats on CWM, I cant reach the 100‰ and at night, it takes 4 times the time it took before to charge the phone.

Also, I find it laggy. Really, it not as fluid as before.

In solid Explorer, I cant access to the Sd card as before. I need to go through the root and Sd.

I've some other little issue but I don't know if it's KK or the apps I've on the phone.

I'm disappointed.

TBH

How to flash KK on Zopo zp998 (the right way)​

1. Flash official Zopo KK FW 04-07-2014 with FlashTool (All sections - with all the "ticks") use "Firmware Upgrade" option in FlashTool

2. Wait for the first full boot.

3. Turn the zp998 off and flash custom recovery (I recommend TWRP for KK from sevenmaxs) with FlashTool ("tick" only recovery section) use "Download only" option. (optional)

4. Boot in to recovey recently after you are flashed it. (Connect zp998 with USB cable to PC, then press and hold Power & Volume Up buttons. When you`ll see sevenmaxxs boot image - release Volume Up button) (optional)

5. Install 4.4Root.zip from custom recovery - for ROOT (optional)

6. Install BusyBox (optional)

So you sell me a phone and you advertise it with such and such features. Then you say that if I wish to use those features, which were advertised, I will most probably brick the phone and void the warranty.

You people are thieves and liars. You stole my money and the money of everyone else. Then you hide behind MTK's policies.

It has been six months and all I we hear from you are lies and fake promises, if any of you actually bothers to reply to an issue.

ZOPO are the worst smartphones I have ever seen and the support is the worst in the world. And that comes form a person, who lives in ****in Bulgaria.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dromaczek:
zopo is the best smartphone i ever have, one minus buggy gps.... but phone is great
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] noflip:
So in your opinion it is OK to advertise a feature. which does not exist in the final product and when the function is finally here to be told than in order to use it you must void your warranty and you will most likely brick your phone?

And it is OK for a $300 smartphone to be the worst sounding digital music player out there, this including $5 mp3 players?

No viper4android cannot fix this. And no, its not the chip, because a lot of other phones have the same DAC and they sound way better than this.

Frankly, the only good thing about this phone is the display. That's it.

And neither of this would suck this much if there was the slightest evidence of ZOPO feeling bad and trying to fix anything.

So forgive me for feeling a bit ****ed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sebx_g1:
What do you mean about poor audio output ? it is very good in my zp998 - with viper fx even better ( I use quite good headphones -but not top one) , I only have complain to gps . I suppose that there was better and worst series of that phone .
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] noflip:
I am talking about this:

[IMG="eq"]http://www.overclockers.ru/images/lab/2014/02/06/3/500frequency_big.png[/IMG]

This is the sound output frequency response of the phone, when listening through headphones. This is destroying the sound quality.

Viper is basically a bundle of basic processing effects (equalizer, compressor/limiter, reverb, etc). Those effects work great, when you have a flat frequency response to begin with. Unfortunately, when you start with something like in the screenshot, you cannot fix this with equalizers. Even if you manage to cut some of the mids, you cannot create low and high frequencies from nothing even if you boost them. All you gain is the so called "muddy"sound.

This is some kind of preset, which is integrated in the rom or firmware. To be honest I have no idea how android works, so I cannot say what exactly needs to be corrected. All I know is that I have tested all kinds of devices since I have this phone, including other Android devices. which have the same sound chip, and they all sound better than this phone. I also own a pretty decent pair of studio headphones, which sound astonishingly on other devices, but sound sub par on this phone. The current preset would be great if the sound goes through a small speaker with limited response in the lows and the highs. This leads me to believe that this is a preset, which should enhance the sound, which is coming from the speaker of the phone and it is not meant for the headphone output, but for some reason it is mixed up.

I have written e-mails to zopo for this, created new threads in their forums, but I did not receive a reply. They just do not reply to questions, when a real issue is the subject and they do not have an answer. And I am sick of being treated this way.

Sound quality is extremely important to me. I am aware that I did not buy an audiophile device, but this is just too bad.

PS: Someone mentioned, that when using bluetooth headphones, the sound quality is ok. Unfortunately I cannot test this, because I do not have access to such headphones.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tommie.r:
I have a Sony mw 600 bluetooth headset and it's a world of difference between using ordinary 3,5 mm output and bluetooth headset. I tested with koss sparkplugg phones on both and 3,5 mm output sucks bigtime.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] conanecu:
Hello again. I have to agree that the sound is awful. I bought a pair of headphones, Sony mdr v55, and first test was on my zp998. My first impression was - I will return this headphones! Then I've tested on my wife HTC one x. The result - was amazing! Headphones tested on my old Motorola defy. The sound is amazing. So, for those who say that the sound on zp998 is great, please try other devices, trust me, anything else will be better!

I didn't read this test yet. I have one question did they tested one ZP998 or 5-6 or even more phones with different periods of manufacturing?

I used Moto DEFY + LG P760 then ZP998 with Philips SHE8005 headphones - all combinations works very good for me , no complains - I have one choosen song to listen and compare equipment . Some people could have really faulty phones I think . Posiible bad solidering on headphones connector or mb .

And you say that this is OK???

Camera zopo 998 frame with little kitkat low light (up to 15 fps)

Hello,

Can anyone help me?

The Zopo 998 is already the third Zopo I purchase because I was a fan of this brand, but it is the fifth Chinese who buy and my disappointment is due to the low number of frames when shooting full HD (1080) in low light environment. I can only achieve 30 fps day and in well-lit places, even recording only in HD (720). The Jiayu G3 I had only recorded in HD (720), but always with 30 fps in any situation.

To my surprise the official update of Jelly Bean Zopo for ZP998 (06/18/2014) there was a great change in the camera software and started shooting in full HD at 30 fps always in any lighting condition.

Recently I went to the KitKat and the problem returned.

How do I improve camera that films with a maximum of 16 fps in low light environments??

I'm digging annoyed with this problem.

Touchscreen FW update from this link also works fine (for me) ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] coockie92:
Hey guys I just updated to KitKat rooted the phone and..... A huge dissapointment only defect I find worth fighting to remove is still present. Its the sound quality I hoped it will b fixed by KitKat update. On solo forum I read some ppl said it's caused by the internal speaker equaliser and I just noticed the problem is not present using Bluetooth headphones and sound quality is much better in the FM radio all. I've tried viper and tons of other equalisers trying to fix the 3.5 mm headphones sound quality but with rather minor success. I believe this bug must be software related due to better audio out of FM radio and BT? Hope some1 can figure something out from my notices. Cheers guys and thanx very much for solving GPS problem for me and helping to intstall KK ;)

It's based on the latest Zopo FW from 2014-01-17

facts in short:

rootet (supersu)

cwm 6030

deleted all China Apps

GPS-fix

Added MobileUncle Tools, Root Explorer

some other small mods..

if you are searching the newest rooted fw which is almost stock, are you right here..

you can use it on 9520 too, but you have to uncheck the preloader! So don't flash the preloader.

Link for FW: http://ul.to/t3errmky

you have to flash with Flashtool. If you don't have it, you can get it here too.

issues with pics

Hi guys,

I'm new here, and i need some help.

i bought a zp998, yesterday updated to "20140618-134729" version. the phone is not rooted (i set just the superuser options).

i have following problem: I have on the SD card a lot of picture, but I can't open them in the gallery, i don't see them there. If i use total commander, the pics are there, i can open them too. I would like to use one of them to my picture in contact list, but i can't.

I took some pictures with the camera (jpg), they are ok, i can them use as profile pic in phonebook too, but the pics on sd didn't (they are jpg format too).

Does anyone know this problem? Or any solution to use my old pictures to contact pic?

thanks

Step 2: do you mean after flashing stock ROM, do not reboot yet but boot into recovery, then click Restart system. Then TWRP SevenMaxs will prompt to install su. Isn't it ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dromaczek:
i dont undestand what you ask, hmm

maybe i write diffrend

flash stock rom

flash recorvery

boot recorvery -> root in recorvery (it works)

flash zip from my link

run phone, upgrade SU app via play store, install Titanium, recorvery all apps you need

run recorvery, clean cache,dalvik, install unfull root zip from my file

run phone

if you dont make (6) some thinks in your phone dont will work, for example USB connect to PC!

Now you have rooted phone, full stock rom, but titanium backup cant work property,

i could answer your question via skype (pawel.prywatny@outlook.com) or via mail (pawel.jarczyk@gmail.com)

Simpler and less writing: FLASH full_root.zip to use TB, and after use TB FLASH full_root_back.zip and so many times you want

There is way to full root and use all thinks with no problem (usb connection etc) but it is complicated, if i will have time i write it. But the way i describe is the simplest way to works all...

Thank you for your procedure.

If Titanium Backup is used frequently, switching boot.img by flashing it is painful.

There is another way to keep stock ROM and have root and working Titanium backup is to flash 4.4Root.zip available in some posts.

4.4Root use Kinguser app (Kingo ?).
