Ok, as far as i can see, there's some confusion here. The bug Elsita was referring to is not related to the compass at all!

When using sporting trackers apps, smartphones coming with the old MTK6589 quadcore chip (like my W200) miscalculate the distance.

That's the bug they were trying to fix in those threads. Anyway, that bug has been fixed by Gravitybox (General fixes - -> Fix location issue) and i haven't read about any THL octacore owner complaining about...so i guess that bug isn't present in your THL.

Anyway, since i'm here, let me tell you all briefly what those 2 lines in the build.prop do.

Let's start with dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast.

I will quote papers wrote by the guys who made Android in 2007.

The current implementation of the Dalvik VM includes three distinct interpreter cores. These are referred to as "fast", "portable", and "debug". The "fast" interpreter is optimized for the current platform, and might consist of hand-optimized assembly routines. In constrast, the "portable" interpreter is written in C and expected to run on a broad range of platforms. The "debug" interpreter is a variant of "portable" that includes support for profiling and single-stepping. -Excerpt from the Android Open Source

In other words the fast core is the default one..that means that adding dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:fast doesn't change anything at all :)

As for the ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0. This command turns off the checks made by the JNI.

JNI, the Java Native Interface, provides a way for code written in the Java programming language interact with native (C/C++) code. The extended JNI checks will cause the system to run more slowly, but they can spot a variety of nasty bugs before they have a chance to cause problems.. Turning off those checks will make Android a little bit faster...but any bug coming with an app would not be checked anymore.

Hello,

Elephone P8 has very similar hardware. Do you think FW from there could work on T100S?
[Android General] tirosala:
The firmware of elephone p8 can work in t100s but someone need to port the firmware
[Android General] tachinni:
Can I use roms for T100S on THL T11? They are almost the same...
[Android General] a.jorge.pt:
why? until now most of the roms are out in the same day, but hey have diference in memory (2) ram/(32)rom and in the resolution screen(1920x780), perhaps here are the problem, in the camera i think that is not a problem ( 2x13,3MP)

like the new thl5000 the diference are little but sure you can not use in the thl t100s

little ??? ( 1 battery of 5000 ma)

http://en.thl.com.cn/product/thl-5000.html
[Android General] tachinni:
Well, none of the roms for t11 on needrom are complete, everyone has some bug judging by comments...

The differences between t11 and t100 are 16/32 g rom, 720p/1080p sc.res, and 8/13 mp camera. Everything else is the same, but I don't know are the two phones roms compatible because those differences.

[Android General] pilililo2:
They say they will release it soon so you buy the phone, but as all of us know, as long as mediatek doesnt release the 4.4 source, and THL BUYS IT, since its mediatek, we wont get 4.4. And it doesnt seem like thl will buy it anytime soon.
[Android General] Vonnegut:
I think that would be true if THL (or Zopo or Newman as well) had not choose to make business with Alibaba.

That means they waiting for Alibaba crafting a working AliyunOS version of kitkat IMHO.

Hi

I dont believe that this is true.

I have 2 thl t100s phones and despite other problems that I have GPS is working perfect on both of them. Fix takes about 1s and if not used for a while and relocated really much, Hong Kong-Europe it took 2min before I got satelites again for first time. That is with 2 different roms.

Im using app GPS status and toolbox from the market, as also GPS test...
[Android General] da_bre:
I bought 2 THL T100S in Hong Kong for my friends in europe. I tested phones for days and they were completely fine.

Now after my arrival to europe everything started to fall apart hehe

I noticed on one phone that suddenly display freeze and starts to fade away into black. And after that it stays black, you can lock it or unlock it with a button but it stays black, backligt is on, even auto brightnes is working. Nevermind I thought, I will flash it with another rom...

Another phone I wanted to remove my google account, and after I went to factory reset it from meny VOL+ power button phone didnt want to boot, just THL logo and then black screen.

I flashed both phones with stock rom, second one wich I only reseted to factory reset I managed to get ok, dispite all problems with no IMEI and Nvram err, wich I acctually managet to be ok after many many horus of searching for solution. Wifi I fixed with manually editing of Wifi file inside Nvram folder. IMEI i fixed with Mtk droid tools. Everything after I rooted phone with Vrot.

On first phone fading display phenomenon stayed after flashing or even sometimes is worse. I can suddenly get it to work fine if Im locking it and onlocking it with power button for a several times or I leave the phone be without battery for a long time (24Hrs). When I get it to work It can work for a long time without problems untill I shut it down and remove the battery.

Today I decided to open the phone with display problem. I will probably not go to Hong Kong soon and Im not able to use my warrianty period. I was thinking that maybe some conector is not properly on place. I had that experience before. Im working as electronic eng on ships so I have some experience in electronic and proper tools. I took it apart, and put it together again, but problem remains. Phone is working in background, I can shut it down properly, just display is comlpeletely dark....

Im posting some pictures if anyone is interested how it looks like inside....

Has anyone any idea what it can be for problem?

I found people with similar problems with another android phones but they didnt post any solution... I flashed both phones with same rom, so I think we can remove possibility of a rom problem.

I like these chinese phones, much more things to play with and not much pain on the wallet if you brick it....
[Android General] Krystyna:
No, THL wouldn't release THL T100S Android 4.4 kitkat firmware, because they think there is no need.
[Android General] pilililo2:
You shouldnt expect any updates neither from THL nor from mediatek. Since mediatek SELLS the source code, which is totally illegal, and THL wont buy it either.

****ty stuff of buying mtk

Diferent boards?
[Android General] da_bre:
Maybe they are, I bought them from different reseller. I dint want to open another one, because its fine..

But the final rom wich is in both units is for that board,specially.

http://www.needrom.com/mobile/thl-t100s-1363gh/

I have difficult to understand the problem.Because if I try to lock and wake phone several times with power button I can get it to work suddenly.

And its working fine untill I shut it off and take out battery, or sometimes screen is black next time I lock it and unlock it. Really looks like software problem. But I have tried so many roms and almost all of them screen is black directly on thl boot screen, or its black after a while. It freezes and fafe away to black.

Can it be the problem with gpu?

Is there any way to reload firmware for display or everything is in rom?

Battery issue

Anyone have the following strange issue. I have a T100s and I recently bought a broken one for a spare battery. When I swap batteries, the phone "remembers" the charge level of the old battery and sets the battery level. So if my spare battery is fully charged, and the one in the phone is at 29%, and I swap batteries, the phone reports that the battery is at 29% and not fully charged.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Roy
[Android General] underboy2008:
Try to keep it without battery for 5 minutes
[Android General] RoyTheBoy:
Thanks for the quick response.

Left it for 10 minutes and same issue.
[Android General] da_bre:
Make at least one or two charging cycles with another battery. Leave it to drop as low as possible percentage and then charge it up to 100%

Where did you buy broken one? Whats broken?

I need some spare parts maybe,motherboard....
[Android General] RoyTheBoy:
Thanks for that. I will try it and see what happens.

Other phone was dropped, screen cracked and does not boot. Gets first THL logo and then nothing. Looks like motherboard damaged.

Got on eBay.
[Android General] pilililo2:
To solve your battery problem you could try to delete battery stats from recovery and the recalibrating to the new battery to see if the old battery stats were damage and that was the cause of your problem.
[Android General] da_bre:
That are also symptoms if you restore it to factory defaults and phone wipes system partition. I have been there.

Try to format and flash it with another rom.

I have some strange display issues you can read in my previous posts...

Screen replacement

Hi, so after breaking my screen I ordered a new one. I tried to change it by myself and I doubt that I something broke or replaced screen wrongly. Display just doesnt work. Just black color nothing more... Does anybody has already changed screen and could help me what is wrong with mine ? Thank you very much, I am losing hope :( If I am not capable to repair it, I lose 380 Dolars :(:(
[Android General] stefan969:
Hello, I have been searching high and low on the internet for over a month now for an answer to my problem but apparently no one out there have experienced something similar. So, my story: I bought this thl t100s in march and it run without a glitch until i decided to root and try new roms. Used vroot without problems and flashed a newer version from needrom. This is when it went pear-shaped. After reboot I lost signal, invalid IMEI and nvram error. So I restored IMEI and fixed nvram but I never been able to regain network. Phone just couldn't connect to network. Not even "emergency call only". Reverted to stock, flashed about every rom and firmware I could find, installed twrp recovery, used mobile uncle, mtk tools, sn_writter tool, maui meta, nothing helped. The phone is searching for network but is never able to connect. Also, I tested quite a few sim cards that are working in other phones. So I'm assuming it is not a rom issue, but goes deep inside the android system, like the system cannot connect to the phone radio. I have no idea what to do next or if there is anything that can be done. I would really appreciate your help, any ideas or suggestions.

Thank you
[Android General] pilililo2:
Make sure your EFS partition isnt gone, since thats the partition that stores the IMEIs, if it is gone, then you may have to force write the imeis back into the phone,
[Android General] Vonnegut:
i'm quite sure the T100s stores IMEI and other stuffs in the NVRAM.

AFAIK only samsung and LG devices come with EFS.

it'always a sound idea to make a backup of nvram with the mtk droid tools

yesterday i found 4.4:2 firmware from thl for mtk 6592, it's for thl 5000, so maybe somebody can make port for thl t100s

[Android General] pilililo2:
Yep they posted 4.4.2 for the 5000 on their website too, so we have hope on some kind of port, either here at xda or at needrom or maybe at htcmania, they got very good chefs. I dont think they will release official 4.4.2 for our device, since these *****es never update their devices :(

Hi, Recently, I bought a THL T100S. When I tried to connect it to my laptop via bluetooth, I cannot send files from my laptop to the phone. It says the the object push service is not available. I tried pairing it again if there are drivers that will be installed but there were none. Is there anyone who experienced this also? And how did you fix it? Many thanks.
[Android General] Cresil:
Never tested the bluetooth with the stock rom, i use WifiTransfer or cable coz its faster and easyer to transfer files to my T100S or from it. Tested the bluetooth because of your post and its working just fine but im using CM11 from needrom right now. Everything works with it so if you want to flash its very easy.

About the THL 5000, is it released yet? Havent seen a website that have it on stock till now or a person that have it or talk about it on the internet and the only place that have the rom is needrom. Looks very strange to me. And needrom is the only website that released an official rom for it. Where the get it from? Where does THL official releases the roms?
[Android General] jasonbourne2305:
Thanks for the reply. Actually, the only problem is sending files to the phone from a PC. Any other means were working just fine. And I'm actually planning on flashing the rom. Thanks also for saying what custom rom you are using. :D
[Android General] Cresil:
Use CWM recovery, its easyer to install and works better i think. The touch one dont work well i think. Sorry that cant post links for you but im sure youll find all you need on needrom and here on xda.Btw tou dont need to clear anything before flashing and youll keep all your settings and apks.
[Android General] vikasbhendarkar:
Thanks for your help :good:
[Android General] pilililo2:
Ive been using twrp since i got this phone and i can asure you its better than CWM since it has file explorer and more stuff. You just got to find a stable build
[Android General] Cresil:
Failed to find one m8, every time all is like backwards, i klick the upper side and it klicks on the down side, lol. I guess the idea of the TWRP is better but CWM was always easyer to use, maybe because had no luck with the TWRP. But the recovery is not that important to me, i just install roms with it, so i use it for 30 seconds when i flash. I used TWRP 2.5.0.0 and the method posted by vinylakos by the way. I like the fast and simple things, im not saying that TWRP is bad but as CWM worked from the first intent i dont think to use another.:good:

I've recently run into a problem with my t100s where it now randomly restarts mid phone call. During an overall 10 minute phone call it restarted twice. Got a call, answered, 3 mins later, restarted. Got a call back, then 2 mins later a restart.

Is it worth rooting the entire device and putting a fresh install on it? What's the best custom firmware to use? I've never rooted a phone before and am still using the stock THL firmware that came with the phone, so if anyone can point me in the right direction to how to go about it that'd be fantastic.

[Android General] Cresil:
I suggest you to install the official one, as its your first time .

Download rom it from here "http://www.thlmobilestore.com/news/thl-t100s-official-firmware/"

Download recovery "http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358554804" thats the one i use .

How to root "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2619101"

1.Install MobileUncle from GooglePlay Store.

2.Put the ROM and the recovery.img you have downloaded on your SD card.

3.Open Mobileuncle.

4.Go to recoevry update, find the name of the recovery and choose it to install.

5.Turn off phone and start it with POWER+VOLUME DOWN. your new recovery will start.

6.Choose install from SD card browse to the rom and install it.

Hope i dont miss anything

THL why not release Android 4.4 firmware?
[Android General] pilililo2:
Because they would have to pay Mediatek for the source and still Mediatek doesnt let them release source codes. Its not THLs fault. Its mediatek. But since its from taiwan google has no jurisdiction there and cant ban their processors or anything they do. Other companies that operate in US or EU have to release kernel souce mandatory. But since mediatek doesnt directly sell to EU or US they dont have to.
[Android General] tirosala:
The mobiles maked by mediatek should be blocked by google if they not release the source code

[Android General] pilililo2:
Thats true and thats how it is. They are banned by google for not complying with their rules. But google only has jurisdiction on EU and US. Thats why these phones are only sold in china etc... In fact source code is released, which is rare, some russians leaked the kernel source code for the 6592 but the thing is that the phone makers such as THL dont release their own modules for devs to build the kernel and they dont release the built kernel either so... we got that going for us which is bad :(

Problem THL T100S

Hello people, I'm new in this forum, I have a T100 since January and since about one month ago I have a problem with the phone.

The problem is that the back, home and menu buttons don't work properly, because when I press them is like I'm pressing the bottom part of the screen, but only one point per button, I'll explain with a paint drawing.

"s2.subirimagenes.com/otros/previo/thump_8997323movil.jpg"

For example, when I press the back button (blue), the phone does the action as I've touched the blue dot. The same for the others. Everything works fine, except for this problem I have. I looked in the engineer mode and the three dots are perfectly in a horizontal line, it works as if there is a mirror at the bottom of the screen.

The phone have never been hit, I rooted it one month before the problem started. I tried doing a factory reset and flashing another ROM and didn't work.

Can someone told me what happened and a solution? The problem started just after I sent a voice note on Whatsapp and I don't understand it.

So after trying to get the VCOM drivers to work with the phone plugged in, the screen just stays completely dark. not even the backlight turns on. Charging the phone through the whole night did not make a difference. When plugged in to my pc, the device keeps disappearing and appearing in the device manager. Is there any way this phone could be saved?? Im out of ideas, it just seems to be utterly broken. I hope one of you has a solution but i doubt it.

The last thing before the phone went completely dark, was the battery loading symbol when the device is turned off, but the colours were inverted and it looked pretty bad...

Any help pls?
