Leaving it out is a very crude solution wont it work if we solder those 2 points & let the wire remain inside?

---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 PM ----------

Fellow users I bought this phone & having some problems have read upto 50 pages of this thread but could not find much solution so posting it

My phone is MTK 6572 based chipset I could not get the MTK 6592 based phones

as of now on which many more features are said to be working.

Here if some of you know the solution then please help me in sorting these out.

1. GPS not working but finally managed to sort out the software problems hardware still remains a issue.

2. GPS consuming very very high battery power 100-20% in flat 25 mins of outdoor gps testing.

3. Sudden battery discharge

Either I have a bad battery or its something else. I had uninstalled playapp as it was installing crap software & draining battery. I have calibrated battery many times & have done full charge & full discharge cycles. I do not notice battery drain on wifi, its only on 3g automatic mode its draining battery. I will test battery drain once again tomorrow on wifi then on 2g/3g

Battery charging is also too fast its jumping from 15% to 25 in just 10 mins which is unrealistic then 25-50 in another 15-20 mins so something is indeed wrong with the charger or with the battery can you find some solution?

I just charged it to 100% & within 10 min sits now showing me at 91% where as the phone is sitting ideal seems the batter is not getting charged properly.

4. Multi window in real sense was never working for me on this phone (ie open 2 apps together on screen) PlayApp was uninstalled after that I was still having the left side bar showing the app shortcuts but not the multi window.

Can some take a backup & post the playApp.apk here so I can install it & test once again.

5. touch panel suddenly starts behaving erratically when I am touching either the command is delayed or its not exactly where it should be, I guess some kind of touch calibration is required, can this be done with any tool built in?

only stays outside when you use gps. when not using just put inside the cover

if you put this two points together it loose signal, don't ask me why...lol, I spend hours trying different combinations. and now even google maps works
[Android General] filip_pine:
Hello Guys, i have open my SM-N900 and i have open also my N9006, and i have noticed that they are slighlty different inside... this one here is the one that i am using daily, the SM-N900, can u guys guide me which pins should o sold in order to obtain better GPS lock ?
[Android General] sgsI9003:
On busy days when i go to meetings I would have to use gps 3-5 times in a day, putting in/out before/after the meetings would be a problem as I use a back hard cover case to mount it on car dashboard. I hope we can have some better solution which works.

Thanks :fingers-crossed:
[Android General] mrgold2505:
that's why I still have my S4..lol. My solution for what I saw in the net is the best we can get from ours phones. Welcome to china world. Chineses are very good to make copyes, the problem is the development.The solution for our phones is some one that's can make a real gps antenna for the MTK ship

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

Post a pic from your back cover to see the contacts of the gps antenna

I would say they are the two in the left side top. Just make the 9 cm wire and slowly just put in one, if you don't see a increase of signal just try the other. See my pic to see how to connect to the pin
[Android General] jcustodio:
Hi

I understand all your problems since I'm facing the same. About GPS can't tell much...

Multi-window will stop working if you don't have the "fantastic" PlayApp so here you have the APK to try to restore it https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31689622/PLAYAPP_V2.106_9992106_999_ALL_FREE_PHONE_ALL_ALL_20131021.apk

After you install it and if you get back the multi-window function you can use the app Disable Service that [MENTION=5275786]genesisalgor[/MENTION] recommend to me to prevent the PlayApp from download crap. This worked to me.

About battery... well, it's bad, really bad and I don't think that we can do much about it. I used the calibration app and no results. The battery goes down suddenly and the charging times are ridiculous.

I ordered a replacement Anker® 3200mAh battery from Amazon hopping that this can make any difference but there are people reporting that even an original Samsung battery has problems...

Hope we can keep talking and discussing our problems to found some solutions.
[Android General] Dzióbel:
In most phones, GPS antenna Moulded in the back cover. It's a small plate and a few millimeters. See my solution - will definitely help :)
[Android General] Danpil:
Thanks for the program Disable Service. I am constantly disables and enabled PlayApp :)
[Android General] Danpil:
Battery

Here is picture how long my battery. I bought Hinros battery 32000mah. Two days without a problem is when I play games and Wi-Fi is included. With this battery is happening to you when you restart the phone shows that it has more power and last longer. You will see a picture where you can see how suddenly increased power.
[Android General] idbl_fanatic:
From what I am seeing there, you weren't doing much on your phone, 49% standby, 3% screen on?
[Android General] Filippos13:
Hello, maybe you' ve tried it already, but what if you tape the piece of wire that comes out of your phone to the back cover? If you use a case for the phone, it won't be visible. Have you tried that?
[Android General] sgsI9003:
Where can we see your solution can you provide a link to your post please.
[Android General] Danpil:
I do not know the reason but it almost always says the same, even when I played video games all day, I would read that the game was spent battery. As to the battery is always erroneous results shown.

Same problem here. You can not edit because the sys folder is created at boot time.

The issue may be caused by the last rom image contained some binary to reprogram the touch screen's eprom.

Even recovering the backup, it might not contain that binary part, so it won't change back.

I looking for solution for a while, but still couldn't find yet.

Hi

Is anyone here who can take a look to my uisystem apk to see what is wrong with it and why it crash every time I try to clear the Recent Apps? I don't know nothing about code or programming so I'm completely lost with this.
[Android General] genesisalgor:
The Problem of SystemUI until now no face any complete solution sadly, the only one is reboot consecutive times, and try to avoid this, using custom apps for remap buttons like i said before. Theres a ROM related problem, and not meet solution until now. To be honest the Rom of this phone is all crappy.

- Battery Percentage Bug + Drain

- System Ui Crash

- Recent Apps sometimes stop to show up.

- Fake Info, not a bug really, but after a time of usage, not see the real storage on settings is annoying.

Hope soon we can see a good update to this Rom, maybe from No.1 (because this clone and No.1 N3 are the same, with a few changes in the Kernel) but until now, we really have to live with these bugs, or try to port another by ourselves. I did a Miui Port, the only bug is callibration of proximity sensor and Phone.apk continuous crashing, also have made a port of a called "Cyanogenmod 10 for N3" Note really Cyanogenmod but completely stock with few additions, the bug here is in Led never turn off (crazy)
[Android General] jcustodio:
Hi genesisalgor and thanks again for your tips.

About the System Ui crash and the buttons remap option, it doesn't solve the problem, at least in my case. I have been changing the Recent Apps button with several apps and tweaks and I always get a good old crash :D. It seems that is not the way we call the recent apps, it's the recent apps themselves or the System Ui that causes the problem.

Port a ROM like Miui or Cyanogenmod sounds perfect. This phone with a good ROM can be a great phone!

That bug with the LED sounds like something that we can live with :)

So, [MENTION=5275786]genesisalgor[/MENTION], do you know how to cook a ROM or are you learning and trying? I'm trying to learn more about this but like I said before I'm starting from zero :)
[Android General] genesisalgor:
Yeah sometimes we can try avoid the error, cleaning caches, davilk we can have a average usage without face this problem all the time, but it continues to exist.

I'm know how port a Rom, You know it's not hard to port Rom from MTK6589 to MTK6589 devices, saving few exceptions, I'm learn it with my old MTK6577 Note 2 Clone, I'm and another guy in a Brazillian forum, we have sucess in port a good 4.2.2 for our device a time ago. So after i time i've start to try port a few things, and now i'm working to have a good rom on our device. But our phone have some peculiar things, the Proximity Sensor is a bit different than other phones, because of motion function, so I need to get how port it good to another Rom, and of course the Original Rom, need have support for Led Notification to make it work on our phone. The Miui is most close to functional, than Cyano, the LED Notifications never turn of in Cyano, and i need more time to work on it. In Miui the only bug is crazy audio sometimes and Phone.Apk crashing, and of course bad calibration of Proximity. You can find some tutorials regarding MTK porting here on xda, also try the dsxda kitchen for porting.

EDIT:

Miui is 90% now, the only problems for now are the Proximity sensor is not working, and the Touch looks not being too sensitive like stock, and for it the pen is not working on touchscreen crazy.

[MENTION=1673136]jcustodio[/MENTION] what ClockworkMod Recovery are you using? The Default one? I've ported the Carliv Touch Recovery for our phone, if you like to try.
[Android General] Dzióbel:
I hope that you help me solve my problems with OTG :) :cowboy:
[Android General] genesisalgor:
What is the problem?
[Android General] jcustodio:
Hi

I'm using ClockWorkMod in my phone but it is upside down :) When I boot in recovery I have to turn the phone and use the buttons in reverse to use it. Everything works good, just in a different orientation!!! Don't know why this happened, I have installed it using MTK droid Tools.

About your port, how do I install it? Flashing a ZIP in recovery? Do you think install this in top of ClockWorkMod it's ok? Don't want to brick this :p
[Android General] Dzióbel:
My OTG in HDC Note not working :cyclops:I dont know why? MT 6572 - my processor supports OTG host , but does not work with OTG cable.
[Android General] genesisalgor:
Yeah friend, I've seen on your GPS solution your phone looks different. I guess if the OTG not work out the box you can think your phone not come with native OTG support, because OTG is a very simple feature and don't stop to working without drastic changes, anyway one thing I really want to try is see if we can port OTG support for a phone.

So friend tell me, after your GPS fix, your Wi Fi improved too?

My WiFi antenna is a little crap not conpletely unusable like GPS, but could be better.
[Android General] Dzióbel:
Yes that is correct - your WIFI signal will be increased, because this is the same pins (GPS and WIFI)

I have full signal in others room in my house. Before, i have got about 50% :)
[Android General] Filippos13:
so, the million dollar question is::confused:

All in all, would you buy it again? (you have the n9006 or the n9006 max?):laugh:
[Android General] CyanogenModFTW:
they're both the same
[Android General] Filippos13:
max is dual sim. in the world of chinese phones it could mean that they behave differently..
[Android General] s7yler:
Mine is the Max but it's not dualsim. It's singlesim.

Btw. guys I have tested the backpins on the Note 3 Max N9006, and they seem to be just fake.

Normally they should work for wireless charging pads/recievers, but I guess these pins have no real function.

The same is for the HDC Galaxy S5 1:1 clone that I also have.

I have tested it all here in a new video (I test several phones with it here). But the universal solution will work fine on all clones.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N9p3KgV0fk
[Android General] sgsI9003:
Does OTG works on any of the models on N9006 clones 6572/6577/6582/6589/6592? I could not find any youtube video showing the OTG compatibility.
[Android General] colonnade:
I just registered in this forum to say: THANK YOU, DZIÓBEL.

Your fix to the gps problem with the wire worked like a charm!!

I tried all the software solutions: rooted the phone, installed lots of apps trying to solve the problem and none of them worked.

I managed to hide the wire in the back cover, and I don´t need to pull it out to get a gps signal. I can get a signal even inside my home!!

So, Dzióbel, thanks again for your info, your pictures and your time.

Greetings from spain

Hi

So you let the wire inside the back cover and it works? Do you have a photo?

The test is in the start 0:22 where I connect a mouse via an OTG cable to the phone.

And I have tons of other videos about the N9006 clone on my channel if you havent checked them yet.
[Android General] sgsI9003:
Surprising that in my case just the EVO files installed the gps started working which means software was the issue but the gps is freaking the battery power maybe bcoz the signal is quite poor. I would try the wire soldering soon, can you post an image how you manage it within the cover?

My gps locks within 5-6 sec as of now but draining battery power is an issue.
[Android General] Filippos13:
I don't know how much battery usage is normal, but on the Iphone I lost 1% for every minute of gps...:confused:

Ordered the phone and waiting!:fingers-crossed:
[Android General] sgsI9003:
Thanks I did check your videos, only after that I bought this but somehow I missed the otg part in that video or maybe I forgot about it. I will buy the otg cable tomorrow & test if it works with mine 6572 chip set or not.

Would you know what is the difference in features on 6572/6577/6582/6589/6592 based n9006 clones?

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

Mine is loosing 5-7% of power on gps it seems the real problem is 3g signals which the gps needs to download the map. Last 24hrs I switched off wifi & 3g both & after moderate usage mainly on wifi I am still having 54% battery after 20hrs so my doubt is 3g signal is the main problem draining the battery. My 3g signal shows at -97db to -103db which is on the lower side as per my understanding.

One strange thing I have noticed is that once the battery is around 40% the drain happens too sharply to reach 5% within 1 hr of normal usage. Now when I recharge the phone using power charger or usb charger the same batter now jumps to 40-50% within 15 mins which is indicating something is wrong with the battery, all this while 3g was switched off.

Any help with the battery?

I have big problems with bluetooth connection between the terminal and the renault Radiosat ( issue already addressed and never resolved in several forums , including foreigners ) . We omit all the tests , studies and readings of pounds of post . However, I believe to have found the problem.

Given that as I do the first pairing - phone carkit everything works (except the contact management) . And it works if I do not bluettoth off the phone , in the sense that if I leave the car and after we return, the paring is automatic.

The pains begin if I turn off the bluetooth on the phone.

If reactivated , do not connect more and I have to redo the whole procedua pairing .

With total disbelief , I discovered that whenever deactivated and reactivated the phone bluetooth , changes its mac addres .

But the mac adress is not fixed, because it depends on the vendor and the hardware ?

How is this possible? How can I change it and make it permanent ?

This explains why not connect a second time. The machine reads a different mac adress ......

What can i do?

N9006 MT6589 doesn't charge

Hi Guys!

I got a big problem with my N9006/ibaby888.

The phone doesn't charge anymore.

When I connect it, it stucks at the loadbar and then restart itself many times and so on.

I tried different batteries and chargers.

Does anyone has the same, of does someone know how to fix it?

I really appreacite it guys!

This is my second one. First one sended back, never recieved by the seller..

DHGate gave the seller the payment.

After that I bought the Goophone N3 (MT6592) and he sended me by accident Mt6589..

Got the phone fixed by the way. I got into Chinese recovery mode (CWM wasn't accesible) and I wiped EMMC.

The phone works now! :)

Yeah, sorry!

Now it has changed. Please take a look: youtu.be/Bva7Ljcrom4

fake mtk6589

hi just warning everyone i just ordered note 3 clone n9006 from dhgate buyer name inway claiming to sell mtk6589 i just received my phone today checked hardware with mobileuncletool.apk and it came back as mtk6582.I then started online chat with seller explained to him what happened and about his description saying mtk6589 he then asked me for a picture of phone and description i sended all the proof he wanted then he admited that he knew it was mtk6582 and he would not refund me he also stated that everyone on there claiming to sell mtk6589 was actually not.I am so upset these sellers think its ok to defraud us from our money just hope i can help someone by reading this post be carefull when ordering from dhgate especially buyer name inway and he also said he has other names one of them is Arming
[Android General] s7yler:
This may sound strange, but the MTK6582 is actually newer/better than MTK6589 which is the older type. So it may not be a bad thing that you got 82 instead.
[Android General] manniefresh26:
I dont think its newer and would like to know where you got that information from ? that is still besides the point this seller is defrauding people misleading with his description i did not want to buy a mtk6582 if i did i could have bought it elsewhere for 50$ cheaper than what i paid. IM starting to think you might be the same seller who sold me this phone. If it is newer and better how you claim why wouldnt he list it under mtk6582 ? whatch out people there are a lot of scammers out there.
[Android General] sgsI9003:
Could you point out the better differences of 6582 over 6589?
[Android General] s7yler:
Well I expected that reaction. But fact is that MTK6582 is newer than MTK6589 which is the older chipset from MTK. Many think by mistake that a higher number is the better. Normally it is, but not in this case. You can't find many phones using the older MTK6589 anymore, because they all switched to the never MTK6582 (part of the new lineup from MTK) in the production factories.

LOL so it's suddenly my fault that a random seller on DHGate send you mtk6582 instead of mtk6589? I bought and paid mine from Fastcardtech!!! Just telling you how the facts are here. Also a lot of the phones where sold first with mtk6589, when the production plants stopped and switched to mtk6582 I guess many sellers didnt change the info in their pages. Because mtk6582 is the newer one.

This is the ranking, if we talk which is better. Meaning the MTK6582 is better than MTK6589. MTK6582 comes inbetween of 89 and 89T (turbo).

MTK6589 (Up to 1.2 GHz Quad-core - released March 2013)

MTK6582 (Up to 1.3 GHz quad-core - released Q3 2013) (Mali400-MP2 GPU support up to 720p)

MTK6589T (Up to 1.5 GHz quad-core - released July 2013)

With MTK6582 it is possible to get up to 17000 in Antutu, where MTK6589 only can get up to 14-15000.

You should actually be happy that you got the MTK6582, because the MTK6589 have a battery drain/bug.

But it seems that you are instead being a offensive jerk who doesnt know what you actually got!!!! facepalm!!

More info on:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaTek

And here some examples.

MTK6582 AnTuTu scores = 16-17000

Overall the MTK6582 is FASTER then the older MTK6589, regardless what phone you test this on with Antutu.
[Android General] pficrx:
Yeap Mtk6582 is newer than Mtk6589 .. Also Mtk6582 cpu frequency is up 1.3 and has better performance to any application... Also is not eating too much battery as mtk6589.
[Android General] sgsI9003:
How much does the battery last & what is the real actual capacity of the battery ?
[Android General] pficrx:
Mtk6582 cpu is more battery friendly and the real capacity of the battery i don't know it. But if u compare your battery with original note 3 battery u will see immediately the differences only with your eyes... Clones batteries are more thinner and has less capacity
