Well I've been seeing the T100s for around £190 from UK sellers on ebay, and I'm thinking I'll give this phone a go.

I want to use the T100s as my main phone since I don't have money to buy multiple models (starting uni/college next year after gap year).

Is this a good idea, What do you guys who own one think?

If it's not a good idea, are there any models you can recommend?

Thanks

1.	It cannot open the contacts, messages, internet and 5 downtoolbar

2.	It cannot open the central menu

3.	The down 3 cm of screen is not working

4.	If I turn the mobile phone at 90 degreees I can write on the screen.

5.	I had made a recovery to factory settings and the problem exists until now

6.	The 3 below buttons donot work

Can someone please help me if he knows a solution?
[Android General] tirosala:
Turbobikekit it could be a hardware problem with the down buttons or could be the software. I thinks its software problem, download stock rom from needrom 17 01 2014 and install it with spflash tools but before make backup of folder nvram and imei with mobileuncletools

So I just bought the T100S, the stock rom version is:

thl_T100S.159D.A2.JB9.FHD.EN.16P256.IMX135.MT6592GWP.20140619

Is this the latest and best stock rom?
[Android General] pilililo2:
Could be. Anyhow, I would still use a custom rom which is better and supports xposed.

got one more question:

I have old headphones from Sony Ericsson Xperia Play phone, but those sound terrible on thl t100

I'd like to buy XIAOMI In-ear Earphone, but don't know if it will work properly. For etc Hedphones from HTC Phone works great. i think its the 3.5 Jack issue.

Anyone has this combination? XIAOMI Earphone + thl t100 ?

here is an workaround:

- after edting the file via RootExplorer, the phone won't boot up. I've to re-flash the ROM.

Any ideas ?
[Android General] Gontrop:
I've applied the patch to do that in this post http://www.needrom.com/download/thl-t100s-6/ and after 24 hours had 2 random reboots... So, it does not fix the reboots...

But I do noticed a small performance improve.

I'm just mad that THL launched this with so many bugs on it... I've identified at least 7 problems on it...

Hi there.

I tried quite lot of the ear phones, but all of them sound really bad. That bad that i am forced to use my old HTC Desire Z as a media player.

Sennheiser CX300, Sennheiser MX960, Bang&Olufsen H3, Bang&Olufsen Earset 3l, AKGs and some others from my friends.

Problem you described seems to me as thing that some of the plugs are not discovered by phone as plugs. But even those what are discovered sound really bad.

I already asked THL but without answer.
[Android General] mincaeuro:
there is an new official update out on THE FB Page, the difference is ~ 4 MB.

is there some change log?

or anyone tried it already?

Hi Aka78

Here is my T100s wifi folder on the root:

I'm using KitKat from thlmobilestore.com site, don't know if it's important.

Hope these will do.
[Android General] tirosala:
You dont need that folder, because if you install new firmware or make reset it have the problem with nvram again and maybe with imei too. So if you want to solve that problems forever go to needrom in thl t100s and see my post "Fix imei nvram forever". That programs in my post writes imeis and wifi mac adress and solves your problem
[Android General] Aka78:
I dont have problem with IMEI. I have problem with my brain and hands :). I just remove what folder myself, and this folder does not install again after factory reset or firmware reinstall.

Many, MANY thanks.

Really bad customer service

THL has the worst customer service service ever!!! I had bought a THL T100s last April from thlmobilestore and after a while the front camera was broken, so i had to contact with THL. They told me to send my phone back to China so to fix it. I sent it at 9th of November and they had it there till December when they asked me to pay 16 dollars extra so to fix it. When it was fixed (first days of February) they sent it back to Greece but they put something wrong at the address and the phone came to Greece, the Greek postal saw the wrong address and they sent it back to China. At this period of 4 months they didn't reply to all my messages so for a little while i didn't know where exactly my phone was. I have this phone for almost one year and i have it in my hand only for 6 months. The other 5 months is in China or somewhere else in the world but it is not where it should be. So to sum up my mobile phone is not in my hands from November and we have 14th March today. I am really disappointed with my purchase, because the THL T100s is a really nice smartphone, but if you ask me i would suggest to noone of you to buy a THL because of the customer service. Buy a phone from your country. Thanks THL.

I've only just got the phone today so really can't comment on the battery life yet. I have managed to root it though using the download from here:

I'll report back on battery life when I've tested it a few days. I've got 2 sims in mine (work and personal) heard this drains the battery more but I'll see.
[Android General] slekkas:
Thanks for your answer,

How you like the phone quality wise? Is the camera as bad as advertised?
[Android General] Foggie:
Not tested much on it yet, my SD card (64Gb) from my current phone was showing corrupt, so had to copy everything off to my PC then format it and currently copying back to phone before I do anything else. Soon as thats finished I'll be give the phone a test.

I like the feel of the phone and I personally find it nice to hold, feels solid enough too. Came with a screen protector already applied and a pack of THL replacement protectors. also came with a case that wakes the phone up or puts it to sleep when opening or closing it. Overall I'm happy with it so far.
[Android General] slekkas:
Again thanks for the info. Waiting for some more feedback after you play with it some more.

Enjoy your new phone...

what website did you buy it from i don't want to be cheated and get some broken device..in short.. where did you buy it?

From what I've read so far minideal.net is very reliable. Thats where I ordered mine from.
[Android General] Foggie:
I ordered mine from here :

http://www.antelife.com/thl-t100-sm...ch-android-4-2-2g-32g-fhd-screen-nfc-otg.html

Delivered by DHL within 5 days but had to pay £12 customs duty (the declared the value at $50).

The battery seems poor btw, had mine on for around 11 hours now and it has 35% life left. This is only installing apps and restoring backups etc and a few texts (no phone calls made). Hopefully it'll get better after a few charge/discharge cycles.
[Android General] Ysabelkid:
There seems to be another octa core phone from THL - T200 - which has a 6 in screen.

What exactly is the size of the battery for the T100S? Various web site has various figures.

How does the phone feel overall?

Give us an update for the battery after a few charging cycles.
[Android General] Augustine02:
THL T100S battery on the THL official website shows: 2700mAh space technology material silicon negative batteries.
[Android General] Foggie:
The battery that came with mine is a 2300mah and drains quickly.

I found everything said in the review below pretty much sums the phone up from what I have experienced so far.

http://www.gizchina.com/2014/01/03/thl-t100s-review/
[Android General] Okolyth:
I just bought this phone a couple days ago. I'm in China right now, so could find it in the shops, but THL is not a very well known company here, they have only few retail stores.

As a user who mostly reads I could not post the picture I took, maybe I can update it in some time :)

It came with a bunch of stuff:

-2700mA Battery, strange that there seems to be a version with only 2300mA with the same name.

-Back Cover

-Leather Flip Cover(not on the picture as it was out of stock, I didn't want to get the used one from the shop so need to go back in a few days to grab it)

-Sim cutter

-Additional Screen Protector Foil

-Headset

-AC Charger and USB Cable

-USB OTG Cable

-A Bag of plastic rubbish, but a pen for use on the screen included

Overal a good deal for about 1800,-RMB(about 200 Euro).

I like the feel of it and the weight. It's fast and very smooth. The battery is still adjusting after a few cycles. At the beginning it sucks like 20% per hour when using it with the screen on installing stuff and testing around. After a few days carrying it in daytime and not using all the time it's no problem to have 50% left in the evening.

What was interesting is that maybe there are two versions of the hardware available. As I bought it in China and didn't tell these guys that I want to take it back to Europe(with Quad-band no problem), I got a chinese ROM on it. I could choose english language, but when I see the shops they always offer like 20 languages, heres only chinese and english.

The problem was it is a different android version for the domestic market, all google stuff is completely gone, no trace of it. All replaced with Baido, Tenscent,... I could not even install the google play market manually.

After I tell these guys, they said they try to flash the "western-rom" to the device, this is the one shipped overseas. But they messed it up and it seems that it didn't work.

So I got a new phone with the western rom, I don't know why it should be any different from the chinese, besides the rom, but they keep telling me that, remember it's an official thl store.

Anyway, so far I'm really happy with this phone for such a great price. Let's see what maybe a custom rom will bring in the future
[Android General] EvangelineX:
I bought on http://www.thlmobilestore.com/ site, now the phone on the road sending.
