I joined xda community because I wanted to learn things/find useful things, and not to teach/develop stuff. I hope you do develop the app to charge the battery out of thin air.

And you actually said "All others, buy a second battery if one is not enough for you" - so that counts as you advising everyone to buy a second battery if the are not satisfied with the battery life

I didn't knew about the flaws of this phone because I ordered it on 20 December, when this problem was not known. So please stop with the nonsense.

You're contradicting yourself :), first you say i'm spamming, then you say I have only 3 posts. Make up your mind ( btw maybe for you is a reason to brag about, but I don't care about my number of posts )

" And you could do some constructive argument about it. Not just laugh your ass off without nothing being said" -I only laughed because your comment was beyond stupidity. Next time you buy a phone and it advertises as having capacitive screen, would you be okay if you receive a phone with resistive screen? i'm sure you would say " All phone features are relative in nature, i'm ok with it "

cheers

PS: If I helped you, clicking "Thanks" button will be enough.
[Android General] balambuc:
errr.. u can't buy and android with resistive screen, androi only works with a capacitive one ;)
[Android General] nunytes:
He said "buy a phone", not an Android phone, it's different.. ;)
[Android General] elsita:
even today there are a few android chinese phones snd tablets with resistive screens for sale, look for them in the shops and you will find them

and of course there have been lots of android devices with resistive screens, my first chinese tablet was resistive, some people just talk without knowing what are they talking about ...
[Android General] nunytes:
I completely agree with you! But it's easier talk about something that we don't know instead of search something.. ;)

Btw, the black version is coming out soon, I hope that they release cases in another colors! :)
[Android General] Burs:
It will also be available in goldish color, but for now I found only one picture of a black one.

But regarding cases (you mean back covers?), it will not be the same as the original one, because it will not cover the bottom part of the phone (around the speaker). Then it won't be so stylish anymore, because it will be like multicolored (the goldish one especialy).
[Android General] elsita:
as for covers there is one silicone avalaible already besides the magnet one

anyone else noticed when playing youtube via app or browser, the movies have very low fps? the image is not very consistent.

I tried some 3rd party apps to play videos online or from sd card, and there is no problem. Just when watching youtube videos.

is there a fix for this?
[Android General] elsita:
i get normal fps with youtube app and HD videos using firmware 104, just tested
[Android General] Sacerdot:
I have firmware 1.0.1, and I am not 100% sure I want to update to 1.0.4 yet.

Is there a way to fix this via xposed/gravity box or anything of this sort? I have no idea what is causing this problem, maybe someone else has this problem with a different mtk6582 phone?

I searched the internet, but the only thing I found was solved by factory reset, which I did, but the problem is still there.

Edit: i found a fix, uninstalled youtube app, and installed an older version 4.5. No more low fps . The stock browser still has low fps, but mozilla runs well ( mozilla had low fps before installing the old version of the app :/ )

can't explain how this fixed the problem, but i'm happy :D
[Android General] dpruim:
Softkeys

Does anyone know if there is a way to get softkeys to work on this device?

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 isn't working, nor is any program from play store.

Also searches gravity box, but I couldn't find it.
[Android General] nikstar1:
I saw a lot of people asking for someone with good battery results. Here are two screenshots of my battery charts.

It will look Greek to you because are in Greek!

At that moment there were 4% remaining after 21hours and 41 minutes and the screen was on 2hours and 30 minutes. Also wifi was always on, 3g always on, 2 sim cards, 3 e-mail accounts synchronizing every half hour through aqua email app, geolacator on for the weather widget and viber and Facebook are also activated. And I do not know how many of my apps wasting battery power.

The seven hours of the 21:40 was night hours cause I was sleeping but I think everyone does, right?

My experience is that for an average day is more than enough. I wish the battery will last for a 20% more for providing enough power for a heavy day.

My phone came with the v1.0.4 preinstalled and I still get very low fps and bad performance with the official Youtube app.

The only way I could avoid that is installing a 3rd party app or and older version of the official Youtube app.

mine works fine as I previously said, maybe it is connection related?

Burs, where are you? There is new bug I just found. I use 1.0.3 and I believe the bug is the same as 1.0.4 that is when the 3g connection weak and must switch to 2g the phone auto turn off the screen into lock screen. It is over when I turn off/dont use the 3g. It happen because I try to use 3g in urban area which is weak of 3g/hspa connection. Is there anyone face the same issue as me? The camera on 1.0.3 is good enough that I am affair of switching to 1.0.4. Can anyone post a sample of camera on 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 for me please?
[Android General] ElbertB:
I have not noticed that bug in version 1.0.4 while it was switching between 3G/G and Edge.

The camera in 1.0.4 is great also, i can make fine macrophotos without failing.

I've problem with camera recordings. Sound is very noisily. I tried other camera programs - still the same. But i recorded only voice via dictaphone - the sound is good (without noise). Anybody else have this problem. (rom upgraded to 1.0.3)
[Android General] shikhar623:
V1.0.4 has been out. Check it.. its better. See the change log or better check it for youself..
[Android General] kowal2000:
Upgrade did't help. Noises are a little bit quieter
[Android General] thienvandac:
I know the answer for that noise, set the noise setting to meeting not the normal(default) then everything will be fine as good recording machine. I will post some pic in 1.0.3 later but I wonder how it is in 1.0.4
[Android General] Mouratti:
Hey guys!

Anyone knows how to silence the camera!?

I know i can put the phone in silence and it works.
[Android General] elsita:
look for the camera sounds in system/media/ui and change or delete them
[Android General] Mouratti:
Thanks but say that i can't deleted!
[Android General] elsita:
of course you have to be root, use a file explorer with root permissions and put system in RW mode ... I thought you already knew that ...
[Android General] shikhar623:
That's why Rooting is necessary..
[Android General] Mouratti:
Yes i know that!

But i can't remember how can i put in RW mode.

i use es file explorer, but i guess this app is not root permissions, i can find how to add this permissions.

Can i use titanium backup to do this?

Get the root permissions :) got it

Hello,

I'm having some issue with GPS on Firmware 1.0.4 Ultimate. There is no problem directly with having fix, device is locking faster that in 30 seconds. But after that when I am trying to use google maps(navigation in car) or AutoMapa(polish navigation), it i not possible. My location seems to act very chaotic, thinks I am moving when I am still on intersection, then after minute is immediately lose coverage. And it is going round and round the same. I have tried to fix a location for more that 10 minutes, leaving iNew on clear sky and have no luck.

I just received my V3 today i am from Romania,but when i inserted the phone card..it says i am in Roaming. Does this mean this device can't work properly in Romania? Did i just wasted my money? :(.

Sorry ..i am new here
[Android General] thienvandac:
Roaming for sim 1?2? Or both?

And which network(s) are you using now?
[Android General] TraveNina:
Just for Sim 1. Now i've turned off 3G conection and i am no longer in Roaming. Also i can't access Settings-Date&Time,every time i go there it says Error and brings me to Home main screen.

So with #G off..i am no longer in roaming,but this means i will never have internet except when on Wi_fi? And what about the Date and time error? I've even reseted the phone once to factory setting and it's the same deal.

The date and time is auto mode, and it work fine for me(Australia and Viet Nam network). The roaming just happen when the network is roaming-able. I don't have your issue neither in Aus and VN so maybe your firmware is a bit older. I use 1.0.3 version for 3 week and it work fine

Hi,

I have 1.0.4 ROM on my phone and I am generally satisfied with it. I rooted the phone, installed Xposed framework and GravityBox and resolved the time/date setting bug.

But still there are two things to resolve:

1. In my Google account the Address book stopped synchronising. The last sinchronisation was on 3rd of February. If I try to force synchronising in Settings/Accounts/Google, it returns with "an error occured while synchronising..." message. All other items, e.g. Calendar, Gmail, etc. are synchronised automatically, without problem.

2. The Google Search app does not offer 'Google Now' style information cards. The Settings menu of the app simply lacks this feature, although the phone has the latest version.

While I don't care much with the latter (I rarely use those cards), the Address Book problem is really annoying.

Any help, advice?

[Android General] Angeloras:
Source

To be honest, I don't really understand what developers need to make a custom ROM for a phone or to port one and I don't want to sound dumb, but I'd like to ask:

Today I've downloaded a source code for Life Play S phone developed by Blu, and it looks like a very similar phone to Inew V3 - the same processor (MT6582 Quad-Core 1.3GHz), 720p screen, expandable storage...

I understand that you can't just take that code and put it into an Inew V3, but wouldn't it help someone to port / make a ROM for it?

Again - I just hope that I didn't write a complete nonsence. =D

How is the phone?

To those who are using the inew v3 - I am considering buying one.

how is the phone to use? Is the phone stable? Any random crashes? How is the battery?

Is it worth buying?

Thanks
[Android General] ctibor:
With the latest factory ROM (1.0.4) evrything works well. No crashes, no lags. But I don't use complex games, so I don't have experince in that regard.

The only weakness is the battery, but I installed Battery Doctor from Play Store and it enlarge the usage time. Even with heavy usage it lasts one day.

inew v3

hi, does anybody knows is there fake inew v3 phones already? I just bought one from inewmobile . com , then I did some digging and find out this site has nothing to do with the official company site. So is it possible to receive a fake one?﻿

Do you have some information about this site? I wonder why they ship it using Singapore airmail if this is Chinese company?
[Android General] dilz8u:
inewmobile

As far as I know they are selling genuine Inew V3, they ship with singapore mail because its the cheapest trackable mail available in china. It took 3weeks for my mobile to be delivered to the UK using singapore mail and it was tracked. Singapore tracking is crap and way too vague but the package did arrive.

So guys, please recommend me some secure, trusted place where I can buy this inew v3 from - 'cuz I am already obsessed of having it

I don't own this device but the first time it was launched it was featured on Pandawill.com and I think it's still on the first page in the announcement section. Why not buy it from there?
[Android General] manuelyonk:
pandawill.com or antelife.com these two stores are totally reliable and will not give you any problem (note that this smartphone Comes Alive sold out worldwide and no waiting list to buy it, so if you buy it in any of these stores is going to take orders but I will get, I think that they will soon receive a lot of stock in the stores, however, before buying comunicate with care services of these shops and they can tell you if have it in stock or not and how long it will take approximately understand that I fall in love with this smartphone at first glance, I spend exactly the same. greetings.

don't buy from inewmobile

OMG!!! Don't ever buy something from inewmobile . As I said before, I have canceled my order with them both sending them an email and opening a case in PayPal. So, 4 days ago I received a message from the support of inewmobile "Thank you for your mail .Please check with your paypal account as we 've fully refunded to you" . I go to my paypal account - there is no any refund, the case is still opened, and nobody has even responded to it. I am sending another message - "no, you haven't refunded anything - the case is still opened". Next day, as they answer only once per day, i have received another message from them "Please check with your paypal account as we 've fully refunded to you ." :laugh: - of course a lie again. At that point i am getting already a bit pissed off and I am getting in a contact with PayPal admins explaining them the situation. They offer me their help to escalate the case to a claim faster, otherwise I should have waited for a week, before escalated the case by myself. So they escalated it. I sent another message to the support of inewmobile : "the case is escalated - the number of the case is ........ , it is not possible to escalate any case if you have issued a refund, so please check again". And just few min.ago I 've got another message from them We 've full refunded to you ,please carefully check with your paypal account or your credit card . :laugh::laugh::laugh: - of course a lie again!!

So guys if you don't want to get headaches just redirect your self to some trusted and safe online store, 'cuz this one is a cheater!

I read in other threads that battery drains mostly by cell standby on all MTK6582 Roms.

Could you try as a test to disable 3G (only use 2G).

Alternatively you could try to install Auto 3G Battery Saver https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slv3r.auto3g&hl=en

This app will auto enable/disable 3G when screen is locked,...

Could you report back the results? How much longer does your battery hold?
[Android General] elsita:
I tried a full day on 2G only with the same results, the battery drains equally with or without 3G.
[Android General] xplorr:
Did you detect the cause of you battery drain? Cell standby in general?

Can you afford to disable 2G as well for a day, just to test?

If it is cell standby, then the vendors should come up with a ROM fix!
[Android General] elsita:
I already got rid of the v3, it is useless to me with such behaviour, even I am not a heavy phone user, a phone with no radio is no phone, so I don't see the reason for your proposal, but I should say that I left the phone the last 2 days before sending it to its new owner with no sim card, and surprisingly the battery still drained a lot, maybe a little less, about 10 to 20% less, but much more than any other phone I have used with one or even 2 sim cards fully active

I really think the problem is with this soc and hd resolution, something is badly done that makes battery drain too quickly in nearly all kinds of situations, and the problem happens with other phones also, not only with this inew V3, I don't think any software could resolve this, I guess it has to do with the design of the soc

Inew V3 trusted sellers

I ordered my inew v3 from 1949deal.com, they are probably the best seller and have not lied to me. I ordered from pandawill but they got it instock a month after my order and didnt even send my inew v3 out so I cancelled with them. I ordered from antelife but after reading mixed reviews about them I decided to cancel, pandawill refunded me fully and antelife refunded me fully. Both are good sellers especially pandawill but they never have anything in stock and actually buy everything after someones placed an order. I do not know much about antelife but they themeselves emailed me saying that they did have problems in the past after I asked for a refund. The best by far has to be 1949deal, they have sold more than 280 Inew V3 and their staff is really helpful, they dispatch the phone 2days after order is placed, they are also active on chinaphonearena forum so you can contact them there. I complained on the forum about a problem with my Inew V3 (screen related) they offered me a discount or return. Much better than pandawill and antelife. Others may disagree but that was my experience with all the resellers, pop by Chinaphonearena and speak to the satisfied customers of 1949deal.

---------- Post added at 07:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 AM ----------

My battery is absolutely fine, it lasts me a day easy with above average use. The software on the mobile is problematic as it does not display the true percentage of the battery. For example on my Inew V3 from 100% to 80% it takes less than 15mins but from 80% to 10% it takes 1 day! When it drops below 10% I charge it. It's important to look at the actual battery usage with apps such as GSAM battery, they give a detailed breakdown of whats been using your battery.
[Android General] elsita:
Excuse me but i don't believe you. Post your gsam results, I have not seen consistent good results with this mobile ever. An you talk too much about shops.

i already did what you propose before getting rid of my phone, no application was draining the battery

date and time error

Well when i ordered the phone i knew that the battery life is on the downside and yea most of the battery drain is due to "cell standby"

but i have another problem after i set the "time and date" settings to automatic i can't aces it no mater what "com.android.settings" that what it tells me and it is not only on my phone a friend of mine had the same problem but he was lucky that he made a backup (sadly it didn't work on my phone) i'll attach the log file if anyone can figure it out i would appreciate it. Oh and yea guys its highly recommended that you backup this directory: /data/nvram/ and the file /dev/nvram you'll need them if you will ever make a factory restore, those things contain your IMEI and MAC addresses i don't know why they are deleted upon restore but that's how it is. In rest the phone is working just fine. I'd give it 8/10
[Android General] elsita:
that is a common error due to android and present in some other models too, you can solve it installing gravitybox through exposed frame installer, root is needed, and full recovery backup recomended

if you ask this question in the v3 forum, I am sure you are waiting for positive answers because you already made your decision, v3 is more beautiful, for me also, but it is useless for normal use, if you buy it you will regret, unless you put it into a crystal box just to look at it
