GPS again and again repeatedly ...:(

Some of you did obviousely not read earlier discussions about the GPS, so here are some hints:

1. Go back to pages 54 - 60 and read from #531, you´ll find a lots of answers

2. GPS and navigation are NOT the same thing, but of course navigation depends on corrrect information from the GPS

3. There are 4 basic problems:

a. Manifacturing: if you have no GPS signal at all, also WiFi is weak, then most probabely the contact between the main board and the antenna is insufficient. Only an helped by opening the phone and carefully lift the spring-loaded contacts.

b. If you have instabil navigation, jumping, missplacing you with 20 - 50 meters: this is the MAIN problem. The antenna is misconstructed, can be better with some external metal foil. That gives best result if the foil points away from the phone, which makes it only useable mounted on a car-holder. The problem is the size and shape of the antenna, and also that the WiFi and GPS shares the same antenna, despite of the very different frequencies they use. I separated them with a capacitor of 17pF and resistor 100k for test, and an external 70 x 2 mm foil and got more that 15 sats in use 5 of them with 38-41 dB of SNR. Unfortunately cant be mounted in the phone because of the phisical size.

c. Fix time: the phone comes preinstalled with values assuming you are in East-Asia. Can be corrected by software. (i.e. Mobileuncle)

d. The UTC is failing with 2 hours, expecting the satellites in wrong position. ZOPO should fix it by software.

Also for navigation: some software are smarter, not believing that you just jumped 30 meters in a fraction of a second, this softwares do better.

I do not make advertisements by naming those softwares.

Hoping or believing that all these problems will be solved by a ROM is unmotivated optimism. Also, ZOPO does not seem to give it a damn. The manufacturer is hideing, does not answer to any approach.

Their philosophy is that you already paid, you are not interesting for them.

Modern combat 5

I installed Modern combat 5 on my ZP998-Official KK 4.4, but it runs about 15 fps, and it is very ugly looking, there is no anti-aliasing and the textures are in low-res.

It is strange, because I have read that this game is optimised for the MT6592 SoC.

Could you give me some advice, what can I do?

hey does anyobe have solution on how to make bluetooth smart sensors work on 4.2? or how to fix gps on 4.4?

my problem is that i get polar h7 to work on 4.4 but the gps is horrible, where gps works ok on 4.2, but polar is not recognized.

also in 4.2 all you had to do is turn on advanced options and in security use superuser for factory root.

what is the best way to root newest 4.4 kitkat rom?

thanks for the help

Hi,

Anybody have noticed laggs after some using even ram usage says only 60%? Or different problem which I have and this annoying me more is that time is freezing. i.e. in upper corner showed time is 13:32 and on the locked screen time is 16:29 (which is correct), I have had to switch off using automatic time and automatic time zone from mobile operator, but this solved problem only for 2 days. Today problem reoccurred.

- Upper corner showed 13:31

- Fancy Widget on screen showed 13:14

Those two were same about 10 minutes

- Only one correct time is on lock screen, that time was 14:37 (CM - cLock app and stock lock screen widged is also correct)

Does Netflix work in the ZOPO ZP998? (and other questions)

Hi,

I have some questions that I hope someone could be able to answer.

I have problems with other MTK-powered Chinese phone. Before committing to this one, I would like to know:

1) Does Netflix work in the ZOPO ZP998?

2) Is CIFS supported?

3) Is the VPN functional?

4) Is the audio quality problem (using headphones) really that bad? This would be a big concern, and a true show stopper for me.

5) Any comment about its battery life? I've seen some posts stating just 7-8 hrs of use. This would be unacceptable. Maybe the reviewer was playing heavy 3D games for 7 hrs? Or it really lasts just 7-8 hours for 'normal' use (some calls, some texts, some web browsing, many account with sync enabled, ...)

6) FYI I already know GPS should suck. Not a problem, I've already got a tiny Bluetooth GPS device, that works great with my current MTK phone

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tommie.r:
If you buy this phone (zp998) you wil likely be dissapointed with the sound performance when using headphones, it realy does suck,,, A bluetooth headset works fine though. Heavy using like films and gaming drains battery quite fast so you will likely be dissapointed at that too. Screentime use a lot of energy, so the next phone i buy with a screen size this large will have to have at least 3000 mah battery capacity and not 2400 mah like this one.

I would not go for this phone again if i where to change, i'm quite dissapointed att the overall quality of this phone. But on the other hand, it's a low price phone with quality that matches the price. But one thing that actually does work good is the dual sim function wich is great i you like me have both work phone and privat phone, i wouldn't have it any other way.

I hope this help you make the right decision. :laugh:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lamp159:
Thanks for your promptly reply.

Yeah, I think the battery could be not enough. The Giayu G4S features the same processor, a smaller screen, but a 3000mah battery.

I currently own a G2S, and its 2200mah battery performs great. I learned to trust Giayu's judment.They load the G4s with 3000 mah for a reason...

Good headphones sound is also a big concern.

Besides, I still don't know if it will support Netflix or not.

So, I think I'll keep looking for other options.

Thanks!

1) Does Netflix work in the ZOPO ZP998?

YES, (in Poland via VPN)

2) Is CIFS supported?

YES (if you mean Common Internet File System and know how to configure it)

3) Is the VPN functional?

YES, work perfeclty on kitkat (4.2 was some problems)

4) Is the audio quality problem (using headphones) really that bad? This would be a big concern, and a true show stopper for me.

Yes, it bad
