so my THL Monkey King 2 II finally arrives, I've to pay taxes..50.- nwm..

this is my second day of usage:

- BT with my car working

- fast

- a bit hot while playing games (Walking dead)

I'll test GPS later and post it here.
[Android General] zdravke:
:(

One must be really stupid or lazy to pay any phone 4 times 280eur, which is the likely price of t100s shipped with tax. Xperia crappy and limited, no kitkat yet? Like you will get kitkat on t100s in this century? You should prey you get 4.3 in this lifetime.
[Android General] pilililo2:
I agree with you too, as I said, the comunity on this device compared to the others is inexistent. But I chose the device over the nexus 4 or 5 because I mandatory needed an SD Card slot, cause i got like 4000 songs rofl, If not, i would obviously had chosen the nexus 5. Im still not disapointed with this phone.
[Android General] zdravke:
You can be happy with this phone if you don't need gps, compass, bt and stability. All I am saying is you get exactly what you paid for. Mtk is not comparable to snapdragon. If you want to compare Chinese phones to Xperia or Nexus, then you need to pick Xiaomi mi3, lenovo vibe z or similar. Thl is brand even Chinese haven't heard of, but even they have better models than this. Check out w200s for example, it has a working compass.
[Android General] a.jorge.pt:
I see you sell yours, and already miss him, now you have plenty of time, because as you know you're is old phone there is no bug anymore to fix

My thl t100s gets heat up.. Camera says can not connect to camera and GPS wont work.. Epo files are failing from download.... What i do?
[Android General] pilililo2:
I agree that snapdragons are way better than mtk, but theyre also way much expensive. Also, in my phone the gps, compass and bt work perfectly, you just need to calibrate them and update your rom if you havent done so. I would've bought any other phone with a snapdragon like the xiaomi mi3 or the nexus 5 but I needed sdcard slot :(

What rom are you on?
[Android General] Algar23:
Bad Problem

I selected in recovery mode: Wipe Data / Factory Reset -> delete all user data

The screen went blank and I had to remove the battery.

Now the phone is jammed and won't start again. The white THL blinks and the screen goes black. Also it won't go to the recovery mode.

Is there anything I can do?
[Android General] pilililo2:
What recovery were you on? Rom?
[Android General] Algar23:
The normal factory reset when you press volume up and select factory reset. I didn't install any now rom or anything. I don't know what was the default rom. Anyways it was the model with the 2750 mAh battery.

I just want to ask will have THL T100S mobile phone android 4.4?
[Android General] pilililo2:
It is SUPOSED, and I repeat, SUPOSED to have. Anyway if we dont get it from the chinese, we could ask some of the mtk6592 manufacturers for the kernel source and build it ourselves like some other guys asked BLU for the mtk6589 kernel source.

Cant boot to recovery? Have you tried to flash something using preloader and flashtools?
[Android General] geaneletronica:
Never THL

I AM OF BRAZIL, accessed VARIOUS POSTS AS THE MACHINE WAS GOOD AND BOUGHT, I RECEIVED THIS EQUIPMENT TO 1 MONTH AND A HALF NOW AND PRESENTED THE TOUCH PROBLEM STOPPED RUNNING ON SOME POINTS AND SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING THE BUTTONS OF MENUS. GIVING A LOOK INSIDE THE SEEN LCD had released CORNERS OF FILM TOUCH I BELIEVE. PAID $ 300 AND I AM HERE TO SOLVE WITHOUT PHONE WILL HAVE TO SPEND MORE THAN $ 90 AND ASK A NEW SCREEN. SO IF YOU ARE THINKING IN A SHOP THINK WELL AS MAINTENANCE AND PARTS ARE DIFFICULT TO FIND ONLY ASKING OF CHINA, THINK AND ANALYSIS FOR WORTH FOR NOT HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAD.
[Android General] pilililo2:
Thats one of the risks about chinese phones :(
[Android General] Algar23:
No, can't boot to recovery. Flashtools doesn't seem to work because the phone doesn't get detected properly by the computer. There is an "ejected" sound a second after the phone is detected. The vcom driver can be seen for a second in device manager.
[Android General] xakkan:
Install ROM:

- Unpack FlashTools, and Click on Flash_tool.exe

- Select a the MT6592_Android_scatter_emmc.txt in ROM

- Wait file to be added into Flash Tool

- choose Option->USB Model,click USB Model

–> Choose Option->DA DownLoad All->Speed->High Speed, click High Speed

- Turn off your phone, remove the battery.(I put the battery in, keep phone off)

- "Press F9 (hit Download button)" OR " if upgrade ROM Firmware->Upgrade "

- and connect your phone into the computer via USB data cable. (I have to turn on the phone now)

- The process will start and a red progress bar will appear after color purple, yellow.

- And green circles display

- Finish !

- You can now safely disconnect your phone and turn it on.

Unfortunately I can't test it, because I don't want to root my phone, but I hope it can be helful for you.

Do you know why does my pc countinuously connect then disconnect my phone when the battery is out when flashing?

I phone can't connetct to mobile network, but I can't even flash a new ROM to solve it. Any thoughts?

GPS?

I am trying to decide whether to buy this phone but the GPS problems are troubling,

There is a "fix" put out by thl themselves and I would like to know if it dose indeed work.

Here it is

This is for anyone having THL Mobile Phone GPS Issues

Before you start the procedure you need:

1. Rooting - This rom is rooted.

2. Get Mobileuncle Tools from play store

3. Get GPS Test from play store

4. Get Root explorer from play store or internet.

Procedure should be done outdoors:

1. Turn GPS off on your phone.

2. Open Root Explorer and find the mtkgps.dat file in /data or /data/misc

3. Delete mtkgps.dat

4. Reboot phone

5. Open Mobileuncle Tools

6. Tap on 'Engineer Mode'

7. Tap on 'Engineer Mode (MTK)'

8. Scroll across to 'Location'

9. Tap on 'Location Based Service'

10. Tap on 'AGPS' and then make sure 'A-GPS On/Off' is checked

11. Tap on 'EPO' and then make sure 'Enable EPO' is checked

12. Swipe down (notification bar) and turn GPS on

13. Hit back and then tap 'YGPS'

14. Wait until you get position lock (mine took about 5 seconds).

15. This process should create a new mtkgps.dat file.

16. Hit home button and open GPS Test.

17. You should get a position lock reasonably quickly.

Could anyone who tries it give feedback please,

It might help me make up my mind which to buy

GPS

There was a noisy poster on this thread who had very specific GPS needs and complained bitterly when the t100s wouldn't satisfy them.

I have GPS working fast and to my satisfaction, running accurately enough to navigate with Navfree. Rooted, added FasterGPS and GPS test, also used the mobileuncle tools, as mentioned above. Bit of a pain that the process will likely need to be repeated every city I go to, but it doesn't take long.

It was because errors of developers. This ROM is no such problem.
[Android General] casca:
check this video, we all have this problem as well on our t100s...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc1zTHQANjc

as long as it lasts, we will NEVER be able to use our navigation properly. it relies on both, GPS and Compass, and due to that stupid coding error we are screwed.

e-mail them! I did it already. The GPS isn't of superb quality but with this fixed, at least it becomes reliable.

btw, your should add to the first post another way of enabling the led notifications WITHOUT using an app.

You just need to have root and replace the file "lights.default.so" for the attached one. Don't forget to set the same permissions for the new file as well.

[Android General] casca:
I've googled the web and came up with a bmm056d compass fix from a guy in indonesia, I think the compass behavior is better now but the z axis is still incorrectly set and if I raise the phone vertically the main problem is there.

for now all I have is the attachment and what we need to do.

place it in /system/bin through root explorer or some other app, and set permissions to: rwxr-xr-x , reboot, done.

if possible, check firstly your x,y and z axis values from your magnetometer with an app called sensor kinetics by pointing the phone north according to any compass you may install from google play.

mine are:

x: +1,5

y: +28

z: +44

and the correct ones should be the same but with the z axis simetrical. "-44", not "+44"

also you could check on sensor kinetics app, magnetometer, click "demo" and check the red point directions before and after you install the fix.

If you could, please try it and let me know how it turns out to you.

regards
[Android General] casca:
Nevermind this fix...it's just placebo effect. Back to stock files.

I have made a small video with our issue, if someone can help it would be nice.

http://youtu.be/GHTRJAbZFpA
[Android General] pilililo2:
I think the little issue with this compass is that since the phone doesnt have gyroscope, it cant position itself in a 3D enviroment. So while the phone is flat down, the compass works well, but when you hold it up, it starts going ****ing crazy. Just some thoughts lol
[Android General] casca:
I could be wrong, but I don't think the gyro has anything to do with it because in all of the other phones the Z axis alway starts around -44 and in ours it starts in +44. I truly believe it is a coding bug.

But like I said, I could be wrong though.

First of all does THL T100S support any connection with TV? WiFi Display or MHL ?

I asked THL supplier and they say that it does not support any. But i find video, in youtube showing THL T100S with wifi display and verry poor connection ?

This is THL T100S as you see with WiFi Display . So i'm confused about it.

Also any important info before buy will be appriciated ! Thanks !

For the record, I've received a reply to my magnetic sensor (bmm056d) question.

When shown the video of the magnetometer sensor to Leo from THL assistance in China (e-mail available on their official website), I've received the attached answer.

Unfortunately for me, it refers on how to solve the poor GPS problems, not the magnetometer as I asked for.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ka77nnlzl1jebmm/T100s GPS fix.pdf

I've sent another e-mail to try and sort the problem of the magnetic sensor incorrect software coding. It's the only bug I could found so far.

I leave the pdf for any user that have GPS problems and wish to try and sort things out themselves.

Regards
[Android General] pilililo2:
The problem with the THL T100S gps has never been the lock time, since ive had lock times of undr 10seconds. The problem is that the gps accuracy is ****ing poor. Because it has no antenna.

What the pdf is telling you is how to make an antenna for the gps chip, since it doesnt have one or its very crappy as we all know.
[Android General] casca:
Like I said, for me the problem is simply the compass, the bit weak signal doesn't bother me since it hasn't let me down yet ( even on the city).

If i use any navigation software like Sygic or Co-pilot it works like a charm.

Obviously if the antena fix on the pdf increases the signal, perfect, but the issue is when using apps that also use the compass (like google maps).It will screw up the navigation directions.

So for me, it's the only urgent point that needs taking care of.

Just my thought though.
