Congrats to your new phone, i wouldn't mind one of those if it had dual sim functionality. I just don't want to haul two phones and with your help with the gps and using a bluetooth headset i have a functionality thats ok, but just bearly... Would be nice with a phone with better battery life though.:laugh:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lasslax:
Thx mate! :)

Yes, the double SIM is the only part Zopo beats the Note.

I might be completely wrong but I read somewhere about a Note 3 with double SIM. Or was it just some fake ones with MTK processor?

Yes, I guess.

But actually the way I obtained mine did go for much less monies, less than 150$ for the phone itself. Most money go to the monthly plan, approx. 33$ a month including everything, calls, SMS, 4g, 1G traffic. But I'd pay almost the same without a new phone - so it was a good business.

I think that I'm the only one who still can't beat this. No matter if I modify GPS antena or not, GPS signal stays only while application like GPS Locker, GPS Status, Location Engineer Mode are open. When I switch back to Ingress, Maps, anything GPS suddenly drops! When I came back to GPS app, magically it backs! No matter if I'm charging phone or not.

Don't even try wiping battery stats while having problems on marsapa roms. Or backup the original. I still have problems with my battery indicator, even after return to original rom.

GPS Keeper get me a little better performance, but it still not satisfies me. I noticed that when I don't use any app like Maps or Ingress on the first plan, then GPS stays locked with GPS Keeper. When I switch to app that uses GPS data, signal keeps losing and it goes at all after 20 seconds. Then I have to wait about 40 seconds to get it again or switch to GPS Test or Location Based Service to get my signal back. Just to lose it again.

Recovery TWRP 2.7.1.0 for ZOPO ZP998

Recovery TWRP 2.7.1.0 for ZOPO ZP998​

This recovery was compiled from source code.

Installation should be made from inside another modded recovery. For those who still has the stock one, preferable way is to flash this recovery with FlashTool.

To flash this recovery with FlashTool, you need to extract recovery.img from the archive and use your stock scatter file.

What's new in 2.7.1.0:

Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button. If a developer has added f2fs support for your device and we don't have it in TWRP, please contact me via PM to arrange for it to be added.

Various bugfixes to backup and restore

Improvements to USB storage handling

Added a class to search for files to make finding the correct brightness file automatic in most cases

Various other bugfixes and tweaks

Extra features made possible with this recovery:

- mounting both internal (EMMC) and external (SD card) flash partitions while connected to PC;

- mounting and file exchange with OTG USB flashdrives, formatted Fat32 or exFat (connect flash drive, then go to Mount and put a checkmark on the Usb-Otg option);

- USB mice work;

- original OTA upgrades are supported;

- adb fully functional;

- battery charge support;

- theme from z31s1g.

Meh, neverending GPS story...

After all that foil fixes that gived me only a bit better signal I throwed away all the foil and applied that fix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-8NnwMaofo my GPS started working like charm! Still losing signal in Ingress or maps, but fast and accurate fix were the best! For 2 days. After that my zp998 doesn't want to get any signal! Totally nothing! It worked only 3 times for now, the rest is totally 0 SNR! Nothning helped - EPO download, reapplying fix I linked, applying foil, reflashing ROM (stock). I got fix only if I got luck. I'm afraid I could damage that pin during the hardware operations from the past. I don't know what to do now...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Take-kun:
Stick your buttons with a tape to avoid problems with placing them again. Firstly you unmount that 3-screws part on the bottom, then all the left.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tommie.r:
No big problem, be sure to tape the buttons as Take-kun pointed out. And two of the screws are a little longer, so be sure to remember were each screw was placed from the beginning. I drawed the phone on a pice of paper and marked each screw hole to be sure to replace the screws in the right order. Use a guitar plectrum or something similar to gently pry the screen from the backside all the way around the phone and all should go well. There is a little plastic cover at the bottom of the phone that covers the speaker gently remove that first, then proceed with the backside. Good luck...

Al the above will void your warranty,,,

I'd like to point out that the GPS flaw in ZP998 is not necessarily connected to antenna weakness.

Most probably it's the combination of software problems and poor MTK GPS chip.

So if you are able to get GPS fix for more than 3 satellites on the open space, I would suggest to wait for the next firmware update which is expected in a couple of weeks and is promised to have a fix for poor GPS behavior.

zp998 new user

hi

i've just bought zp998 and this thread is really long to read so maybe some of you could help me about some issues (and i provided some temporary solution)

- gmail : problem with attached files -> kept the original version no update

- facebook : crash problem -> kept original version

- gps : no signal : no solution found and i don't want to open the phone and play the mcguyver

- phone driver : i use windows 7 and impossible to install driver (will be important for next)

- bluetooth transfer : impossible to send items to my phone i have error message about push service (obex) not working or already used i can send to computer but not receive anything (this is the most annoying problem for me) i know this is not computer problem because it works with other phones

and some questions about the phone :

- in advanced settings : what is volume keys awakening and statusbar transparent? english is not my mother tongue and i'm not sure to understant

- what about gesture sensing? how does it work ? in learn action it is not really well explainend and when i enable everything nothing change...

i use rom stock 20140329-161638

i don't feel confortable enough to install custom rom

thank you to read all this and help me
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jjkraak:
I think you summarized most of the problems. There is also the problem with the inversed compass. And google now has the same problem as facebook, so don't update!

To answer your questions.

- Volume keys awakening just means that you can unlock (turn on the screen) of your phone by using one of the volume keys.

- The transparant statusbar means that the statusbar (the bar with time/notification icons/battery) is transparant (invisible except for the icons) on the home screen, so it shows the background instead.

- I hardly use gesture sensing, maybe only in gallery but only as a gimmick. In gallery you can wave your hand to the right/left to go to the next/previous picture. I believe it is also possible to scroll in the browser using this, but don't pin me down on it.

- I tried custom roms, marsapa and another one, but returned to stock. I think it will be best to wait for 4.4.2. Aaand welcome to the forum:)

Cheers

for bluetooth there is no solution? this is really annoying me
