No not yet. Unfortunately. They "sent" it 2 weeks ago, and now I see on my tracking site that it left Singapore 4 days ago!? So it was sitting on some shelf for 10 whole days doing nothing while I'm dreaming about it every day lol. But they got my money, and that's all they care for.

I'm using MIUI v5 for some months, and it would be great if it gets ported on our V3. But Cyanogenmod would be great too. Fingers crossed for both!
[Android General] thienvandac:
I dont like MIUI so much cause their UI is not very nice to me, it is likely kid or small girl. I think CM is better but my experience for their rom is poor too. Poor you, I order my packet on Monday and next Monday the item come at morning.(DHL only need 4 days to complete shipping).

I bought 3 times already so I feel quite good for their services. Maybe you should change the buying site.
[Android General] shikhar623:
yes MiUi for iNewV3 would just be Perfect!!
[Android General] thienvandac:
Will any? cause I see no process in the request port rom for this, ask Burs as he join that forum.

I think that fine so far, as I find a way to make video record less noise(not all but a big different), still wait for improvement next update.
[Android General] Burs:
If someone finds the original links from baidu website to be very slow, you can also download 1.0.4 firmware from the mirrors below.

CWM version: Part1 and Part2 (ZippyShare)

SP Flash Tools version: MediaFire
[Android General] thienvandac:
Haha, you quite active to this model don't you? I found it quite good while downloading in Australia, around 300kbs so 630mb is about half an hour only, any one try this rom 1.0.4 so far?
[Android General] gufone:
Hi, as many users reported the aperture of the camera is just 2.2 and not 2.0 as they say in specs!
[Android General] Burs:
Yeah, I believe you, you're just a foot away from China. For those of us on the other side of the globe, download speed can be quite slow (20-30KB/s). ZippyShare and MediaFire are known to be very fast, and there's no captcha verification, no time waiting, no download limit and filesize limit that you can download. So the links are there for everyone to enjoy.

That's true. So what? Can you find any situation where that would be an absolute deal-breaker?
[Android General] thienvandac:
Why dont you try Mega? it host in NZ but quite good in my opinion, MF is sk now cause it require capt and lots of ad, very annoy.

Anyway, your effort has been reg by everyone, congratz.

Guys, what improvements do you see after ugrading to v1.0.4 ?

If any Pls post here.

[Android General] borgami:
Any chance someone can upload a rooted version of 1.0.4
[Android General] Burs:
Because it didn't let me upload more than 10% of the file. It just kept breaking.

Changelog was listed here.

Rooting procedure is the same as for previous firmwares.

You can find the links on previous pages on at least 3 places.
[Android General] thienvandac:
I cant upload bigger than 200mb for a free user. How can you up the file update.zip with nearly 400mb? Cut into 2 part? Never mind free services cant be good. I like to see you gather all the info for each version, that will help all user and they don't need to ask what/please for every time they online/have new firmware version
[Android General] dani_edw:
I upgrade to ROM 1.0.4 through cwm and now I lost phone internal storage.I can't flash with spflashtool bcoz my PC not detect my v3.Please someone make script ebr for cwm so we can solved this problem.

Sorry for my bad English.
[Android General] majak333:
reinstall drivers on pc...your phone name must be mtk preloader
[Android General] Burs:
That happens only if you applied EBR mod to one of the previous firmware releases.

You could try re-applying 3.5/6.0GB EBR mod through CWM and see if it works.

I argee with you that there is no bug like this in my phone since purchase>1.03 version.(not try 1.0.4 yet,just here needrom had new 4.3).

Did your phone come yet Burs, there is a lot of things you may need to try in new version of android 4.3.

Good luck all, I still keep 1.0.3 till better improvement.
[Android General] dani_edw:
I try apply 3.5GB and I got phone storage 3.5GB when I try 6.0GB ,I got phone storage 5.85GB and internal storage 6GB can see in setting>app .in setting >storage can't see. Could you made another EBR mod above 6GB? Maybe that can increase phone storage capacity
[Android General] clarkcool:
OUF you're reassure me i'm impatient to receive it
[Android General] Burs:
Sorry, but it wasn't me who made those mods. You should post that question on chinaphonearena original thread.

In this post I've put a link to my app for changing EBR files, but making mods in not all about that, so other things must be done in order to pack it in a final zip file.

But I find it strange what you wrote in your post. Something's not right there. The partition sizes should not be like that. When you apply 3.5GB mod, you should have about 10.5GB for phone storage, and 6GB mod should give you around 8GB of phone storage (+-3%).

Maybe yes, maybe no, but if I were you, I would not waste my time (and money). It's some kind of port from Sony Xperia Z, with the rest of the firmware files from V3 (some prahistoric version, since it introduces bugs from previous versions). Read more about it here.

just got the phone but the battery life seems awful.

Its losing 13% per hour - doing nothing - drain is 25% cell standby, 25% wi-fi, 25% phone idle - can this be right?

[Android General] elsita:
yes I do, I have been having consistently longer durations in 3G with a zopo 810, an older proccesor with the same screen, I never had less than 16-18 hours with a full charge no matter the radios used, with 5 push email accounts, whatsapp and line either, sometimes even viber and voxter, location to all apps always on, and gps always avalaible, wheather updates with gps locations also on, 12 hours is fine for a toy, not for an eveyday use 2014 smarphone

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

unfortunately those are normal ratio discharges with this phone, it completely sucks, but you can have some more autonomy with previous firmwares, not even 18 hours, but longer than the 12 you get with 104
[Android General] longshanks:
I bought it from Ali Express - was really looking forward to it. I am now considering returning it. Are returns to Ali Express easy? If not I might just stick with it.

It's a shame as the phone looks brilliant and is fast in operation.

inew v3

just some facts i noticed with my inew V3

1.1 i am shooting pictures with my inew v3 at 13MP and the pictures are only 1.4 megabytes in size. Isn't that small size for a 13MP photo? i used to own a Star s5/Miz Z2, and shooting at 8MP the pictures had an average of 3-4 megabytes. Also pictures shot at 8MP with my Huawei Ascend p6 are @3.4 MB in size.

1.2 Regarding ISO 100, pictures shot with iNew V3 (F:2.2)are alot brighter than the ones shot with Huawei Ascend P6 ( F:2.0). Both were using ISO 100.

2.regarding battery, it is draining like hell :), and i am not sure i want to update the firmware from 1.0.1 to 1.0.4 anymore because i see users have less battery juice after the update

3.regarding UI: the stock launcher gets a little laggy when you open the app drawer, or if you try to hold an app and drag it to the uninstall area. Anyone else noticed that? I installed go launcher and there is no lag at all.

4. While i owned the star s5,when there was no usage, every CPU monitoring app i used showed only one core being active ( the rest of the cores were inactive ), and the active core stayed at the bottom part of the clock speed (400/600+ mhz ) if i remember correctly. While the V3: one core keeps fluctuating between 600 and 1300 Mhz, and the second core wakes up every now and then at 600/1300 Mhz, then goes inactive. This happens when no app is open besides the CPU monitor. Core 3 and 4 is always inactive in this conditions. Anyone sees any abnormality, or is this normal for the MT6582? Star S5 had the MT6589 ( i'm starting to miss my old Star s5 )

5. everything not mentioned ( bluetooth, nfc, otg, sound etc. ) are either decent enough or not with problems worth mentioning
[Android General] Burs:
Image size depends on what you're photographing, so it's not the same if you point the camera to, let's say white solid wall, and nature with grass, trees, cloudy sky, etc. Image size also vary depending on the JPEG quality level. Maybe V3 compression algorithms can do the same quality images in less size by doing some optimizations? But ofcourse, you cannot know that. If the image looks ok, who cares about the size?

Yes, the phone is powerful (relatively speaking), and the battery capacity is low. So, it's not weird at all. I recommend having a backup battery if your wall charger is out of your reach for longer periods of time. Last but not least, firmware upgrade won't steal any battery juice. It varies from case to case and is in no way in direct connection with the firmware.
[Android General] elsita:
what the user is saying about picture size is quite clear to me, 1.5 megabytes corresponds usually to a 5 megapixels camera, if this phone gives that size no matter the actual resolution, it gives a clue about the real megapixels of the camera, not the interpolated, and yes, it seems as if the actual cmos is only 5 mpx, not even 8, despite it can be interpolated as high as 18 mpx

and about battery draining, thl w200 has the same battery and a more powerful processor, actually it is 1.5 gigahz, 0.2 more than this phone, and look at the chart I include, it has been taken right now from my wife's thl w200, a mere 1.5% consumption per hour, when the V3 is not capable of going under 5% per hour ...

if you take into account that the V3 loses 30% of the charge in minutes (from 100 to 85 and from 15 to zero) you have only 70 points, divided by 5 it gives you a maximum of 14 hours of work with extremely moderate use ...

so i must say that it is not normal at all to have such high battery consumption in a phone as "powerful" as this ... either the software or the hardware is somehow crippled ..

View attachment 2539050

and here is the chart from my v3

[Android General] longshanks:
Well it seems that the standby is decent - down to 20% after 36 hours so should do 48 hours.
[Android General] elsita:
if you remove the battery you will get longer times ... it is a joke, of course

this phone comes configured with a wifi suspension policy that turns wifi off when the screen is off ... so they know pretty well they have a serious problem of autonomy, or lack of it should I say, what is the use of a smartphone that turns conection down when the screen is off? you lose push notifications among other things, they will tell you to deactivate location por apps, etc. etc. ... but this is no solution, getting 36 hours of autonomy of a smartphone locked in a drawer is of no use

put your phone to work normally one day and you will get 12 hours of battery, maybe 14 if you barely use it, but that's all

this phone is a wired phone, it needs one hour charging per one hour of use ... too bad
[Android General] Sacerdot:
for me it is very clear, after all the lies and fake spec of the phone I've decided to sell the damn thing. I used it intensive over the weekend, and i'm not satisfied with the phone.
[Android General] shikhar623:
Is it so?? I was just heading over to a store to order it..
[Android General] elsita:
I have mine already presold ...
[Android General] shikhar623:
Why are ppl selling it out? Just due to. Small battery?
[Android General] elsita:
not small battery, battery draining ... and also quite a bad camera
[Android General] borgami:
I'm get at lest 12 hours. Get more if I only on standby
[Android General] dpruim:
I wonder what everyone is complaining about.

I've got mine 2 weeks ago, and I'm more than pleased with it. The battery isn't the best i've ever had, but I get 2 days on a battery (okay I don't play games). And the camera is more than good. All and all, a good phone (for 140 euros)

You can't expect the best phone in the world for that kind of money.
[Android General] shikhar623:
I hope you have flashed latest firmware.. if not do that now and check it out again.
[Android General] elsita:
excuse me?????????? 2 days battery????????? i don't play games either and I get 14 hours max ... please post your discharging graphics and gives us some tips to get at least 18 hours ...

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

I flashed 104 but turned back to 103 because draining with 104 was even worse ...
[Android General] Burs:
Finally someone reasonable. All others, buy a second battery if one is not enough for you, and buy DSLR if the camera is not good either, just stop spamming this thread. I got it for 120 euros, and if I wanted autonomy of 3 full days and DSLR-like quality images, I would cash out 600 euros for some other phone. So I don't care if the phone is not good for you, or if you already sold it, or if you're planning to bake barbecue with it. Leave that to yourself. All phone features are relative in nature, and not all of us need it for same purpose. It can't have all the best, such phone hasn't been invented yet. Move on. Next subject please.
[Android General] elsita:
if a phone is advertised as having a very good camera specially when light is low, and turns out the camera in such conditions is one of the crappiest in this kind of phones, I think people would love to know it from real users ...

and about battery not being capable of going to 18 hours with light use, it seems important to most of us, because in that conditions you have to charge your phone more than once a day of turn it off for some hours evryday ...
[Android General] Burs:
My advertisement said nothing about "very good camera", and/or "specially when light is low", it said it's 13MP, and most people take out DSLR-functionality out of that information, which is utterly wrong. I also see you didn't have had too many "kind of this phones", because there are far more "crappiest" phones out there for the same price, which take crappy images not only by night, but also by day. And yeah, you might be a real user, but with unreal expectations and subjective opinions, so it doesn't really help others to make their choice, does it?

I've read numerous times where people are saying that one charging is easily enough for a day, and for some even two days. So maybe your battery/phone is defective. Also, you can't expect from a 1830mAh battery too much, so again, buying a backup battery would be a good option.
[Android General] Sacerdot:
And your advise to the battery problem is : buy a second battery if one is not enough for you. Just what a salesman would say, and not a developer/ member of a community

For 180$, there are better alternatives, same camera quality, much better battery life. Must admit the design of the phone is nice, but is not worth 70$

i think up until now, the thread was spammed with praises, so some cons about the phone should be said

Personally i don't care what people buy, it's their money, but i see you care a lot.

"All phone features are relative in nature" ....you could do comedy!

cheers
[Android General] Burs:
And what did you contribute to XDA community when you're so proud of your existence here, if I may ask? What do you want me to do? Should I developer an application which charges your phones out of thin air? Buying another battery wasn't my advice, it's just what I did, and you can do whatever you want to do with it, I don't care.

You're the one who's spamming here. Every phone has cons, so does this one, and we all knew that before we bought it. So you said nothing new. And yeah, I care alot, since I know what I bought, and don't expect wonders out of it. I'm sure I helped alot of people here regarding this model and my stats show just that. And what did you do with your pity 3 posts? (this one I'm quoting doesn't even count)

And you could do some constructive argument about it. Not just laugh your ass off without nothing being said.
[Android General] longshanks:
I need to wade in here.

The phone looks amazing, feels great and has a real presence.

I have compared it to a Moto G and my current Nokia Lumia 800 and Lumia 620.

It takes the best pictures out of the lot hands down.

It's fast as the Moto G but has a far better screen.

Its only weakness is the battery which to be honest wont give you more than 6 hours of heavy use if that - will just about last a medium user a day.

If they can bump the battery up and improve the firmware then its the best phone better than even the Moto G at this price point. The Moto G does have an excellent battery.
[Android General] Burs:
You're correct, elsita. Can we now just go on with our lives? And our crappy phones...
