The rooting is up to you. Spare battery is good to have but not needed. I know there are reviews where some people complain. But I have ordered several phones from Fastcardtech, and have no problems had. Just don't always trust the specs - sometimes they are also just guessing the specs, find reviews first of what you want to buy. My phones from Fastcardtech works fine. It is possible to call them or write with them on Skype (they have supporters in both US and China) so they are not ignoring customers.

Any idea of where to get a newer version? I am searching google, but not finding any that work

So I got one of them to work by deleting the SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.ini file, but the 3 buttons are not there.
[Android General] oscarblue48:
Version 3.1320 is here.... http://www.4shared.com/rar/QZMrRrcD/SP_MDT_exe_v313200000.htm it says in the release notes, added support for mt6582 which i'm guessing is your chip?
[Android General] idbl_fanatic:
It's SUPPOSED to be a 6589, but who knows at this point

Ok, that one works as well, After removing the ini file, but the 3 buttons are not there.
[Android General] oscarblue48:
there's something weird with this software, found version 1304 here try it if you want but nothing seems to work on mt6589 (Ihave a mt6589t and a mt6577)

this version works perfectly on my 6577, but on the 6589t it shows the sensor and lcd boxes ok but when I put in my scatter file but they remain empty??
[Android General] CyanogenModFTW:
Has anyone else ordered from HDCmobile.com? I have ordered it one week ago and it seems they haven't even sent the phone, as I did not get a e-mail frm them.
[Android General] s7yler:
That site has nothing to do with "HDC". That is just some seller who have bought the domain URL and trying to sell people who search for "HDC" devices a phone. I am surprised by how many people always fall into the trick with these HDC sites. There is hdcmobile hdcphone etc. all these sites has nothing to do with the so called HDC phones.

I was looking at my build.prop file and the information that it contains doesn't check with the info in the menu About the Phone in Settings.

And this is my About the Phone:

There is any other file where this informations are? Do you think I can change my build.prop to add the "real" model and brand?

And about the playApp, do you know any way to unlink it from the other apps? I mean, some apps try to send my to the Play Store but the open this playApp instead and every time I open this crap it install some other crap apps.

I don't want to uninstall or froze it because if I do that I loose the original loockscreen and the multiwindow function.

Thanks in advance for you help!

Subscribed your Youtube channel, I'm addicted to your videos ;)
[Android General] s7yler:
Yes I think you could change it to the real model and brand in the build.prop. I did that on mine.

I have changed mine to this

ro.product.brand=samsung

ro.product.name=SM-N9006

ro.product.device=SM-N9006

ro.product.board=SM-N9006

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

ro.build.product=SM-N9006

After that I was able to install the Samsung app store. Before that it was not possible.

Regarding the playApp, I have no solution for that, as I have the same problem.

As always, what you change or do is on your own risk, I take no responsibility for anything.

Hi jcustodio,

Would it be a big effort of you if I would ask you to make a copy(backup) for me of your rom?

I have problems to recover my backup of my phone and just hope in some sort of help.

Thank you,

Jaki
[Android General] jcustodio:
Hi

Tanks for your tips. But, don't you think is strange that my build.prop is showing something different from what is visible in About the Phone?

build.prop - ro.product.name=A202_mula

About the Phone - Model - SM-N9006

Where are this info, do you have any clue?

BTW, if you uninstall the playApp your multi-windows stops working or just the lockscreen?

Thanks
[Android General] s7yler:
Sorry but I have no idea whats wrong with it. Normally it should just work out of the box. But since it doesnt then maybe your phone does not for some reason support OTG.

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

I don't know why your phone shows something else. And I never tried to remove my playApp so can't say, but heard about others who tried, and they lost some features, but I can't remember the specific ones.
[Android General] jcustodio:
Thanks s7yler :)

I'm doing some research to try to understand where is the phone getting the info.

Changing subject, any UI System Stop Working messages? It's happening with me now. I changed the launcher to Nova, don't know if this can be the cause or if it is related with some apps I have uninstalled with Titanium Backup PRO.

Also, I followed you video tut to install Clockwork Recovery and everything was OK except for the fact that when I boot in recovery I get an upside down screen. All is working fine, I just have to turn the phone to use it :eek:

I was searching for this issue but didn't find any solution, do you know anything about this?

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

Hi

I could try to do that, but I really don't know how. If you can guide me, I will do the backup for you.

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

Hi Dzióbel

Maybe your phone doesn't support OTG. Mine does and works just fine, but my friend's phone doesn't has OTG support and it's supposed to be the same model but from another seller.
[Android General] Laurel6:
Hi,

thank you for your response.

I can try to write some brief for that, or is have a tutorial, which link I cannot post this time, I'm not sure what you would prefer.

I try to send the link as a private message, because I don't have enough posts to the forum to let me to do that this time.

I know, it will seem complicate for first, but it's not that hard.

I accidentally deleted my backup and couldn't restore my firmware.

It's not a bad idea to have a backup of your rom for yourself as well, because anything can happen.
[Android General] genesisalgor:
Regarding about the playapp problems, if you disable it will lost lockscreen and nultiwindow features. You can try go to Settings >> Apps >> Playapp, and click uninstall updates, because the update of playapp sucks a lot of battery, and see if clear defaults option is avilable, and try clear it. Also the solution for stop downloading crappy softwares, Is install the app called disable service, and inside on it theres a option for every app, disable service of playapp and now theres no more internet connection for it, features still works but not download crappy.

About SystemUI problem, it's a common problem on the multiwindow rom of this phone, you can try clear cache and davilk cache from recovery, but anyway the cause of error looks to be misunderstanding of phone when you press home button. I've installed xposed framework, and Xpose additions module, so inside of it I can remap buttons functions, If i just configure home button, putting the default functions, long press recent apps, and click go to home, looks stop the SystemUI error.
[Android General] jcustodio:
Hi

Thanks for the great info [MENTION=5275786]genesisalgor[/MENTION]!

About the xposed module, my home button is the one who is causing the errors. By default long press give me the recent apps and click takes me home, Have you changed this or your home button had a different default behaviour?

It seems that this is related to the recent apps because I get the error also using a gesture from Nova Launcher to call it, not only with the long press in home button.
[Android General] genesisalgor:
Yeah the error occurs because a type of crash between go to home and call recent apps function, to be honest the recent apps function is not good in this Rom, sometimes stop to show the recent apps, and you have to clear davilk cache to make it work again.

But the problem is in home button functions, when you press it to show apps or go to home ramdonly will have crash. So the solution worked for me is remap functions using a third app, I simply did what system should do, remap the long press home button to open recent apps, and too one click to go to home, like default, so i not have any error regarding systemUi until now, still testing, I thought the problem was launcher too, but no is the system itself, try the Xposed addition module, I've also put long press menu to call recents, I want avoid pressing home all the time. My phone is the same of yours and S7yler don't worry.
[Android General] jcustodio:
Hi

I have installed Xposed since day one, with GravityBox for some tweaks I like to do in my phones and it works fine. I'm going to try the Addition module you suggest but I'm confused here...

In my phone the home button is working by default like this:

1 Click - Take me home

Long Press - Last Apps

So, what you tell me is to change this using the addition module, overwriting the default?

I'm testing now the shortcut from Nova Launcher to open Recent Apps, hope this way I can avoid the error.

About the PalyApp I did what you suggested and I'm using Disable Service now, thanks :)

I tried the Greenify module in Xposed to make the app hibernate and I think that it's a good option too.

What launcher are you using?

I'm with Nova because is the one I use in all my phones, but if there are a better alternative for our clone I'l try it.
[Android General] genesisalgor:
Yes my friend, you with "Xposed addition module" will simply overwrite the Home button function, the system make it crash, so you will set a app to make the process, You will simply overwrite the functions with the app. Setting the same thing. (Or also you can set another function you're free, have a lot of options, and you can remap all buttons.)

You can set it with nova launcher, but the Nova Launch "remap" only works on home screen, I also greenify to expand battery life is very good.

I'm using the Galaxy Launcher, of playstore, remember a little S5 Touchwiz, but with some additions. In terms of launcher, I guess is point of taste, if you feel good with Nova Launcher you not need change. The Google Now Launcher also works great on phone, with Ok Google Option, with you use your phone in English. For launcher i guess is all a taste question :)

Is there any way I can make sure the status bar stay transparent? The status bar on mine only stays transparent on the stock launcher, so it doesn't seem fully transparent, and nova prime doesnt allow me to choose the transparent setting because my device isn't kit kat.
[Android General] jcustodio:
Hi

Well, I have installed the Additions module (pro version because the free doesn't allow to set applications) but I can't find Recent Apps in the list :p

What did you do in there, what app did you set in additions?

Besides, when I have additions module enable multi-window stop working...

This ROM is a total crap I guess :laugh:

but when i read the mah it says 2100mah battery capacity.

i tested the app on my other s4 and xperia z and the capacity that it show there is exact like the battery.

Is our Note3 Clone limited to read only 2100mah so this is why it lasts short ?

---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

I do apologise but your solution is to drastic, we need soldering and that's lots of people is not interested to do for several reasons. What I did don't need soldering and I am sure even can be done without rooting. I am been trying during my nights shifts, I am a lorry driver, is using differents gps softwares, like M8,copilot gps and Sygic, and until yesterday the results and very good, no lost of signal and accuracy 8-10 feets with 9-10 sat, and signal strong of 25-42. You forgot to show as a picture with the acquired sats to see the kind of strong signal you have
[Android General] pficrx:
What did u did with the GPS ?
[Android General] mrgold2505:
Is only a question to attach a very thin wire I the right place. Its not necessary to change glue or soldering. To try you don't need to void your warranty. Just be careful with the screw that as the sticker.

Yes. Aluminum foil will be better way, but i have not problems with close my phone case.
[Android General] Filippos13:
For those of us who don't have the phone and are thinking of buying, how is the GPS without hardware modifications? What accuracy do you achieve?
[Android General] sgsI9003:
Tried aluminum foil without opening those screw didn't work at all, seems I need to open those screws, if I do open that is it complicated to open that & close?

About GPS problems, don't know if this video is already in here, but this is a good start to try fix a software related problem:

But if the problem is hardware related (bad antenna, disconnected antenna cable, etc.) this is not going to work.

To download the EPO files just go to Play store and get the APK name MT GPS. It does the download automatic.
