No havnt got it
[Android General] longshanks:
Finally dive in and ordered it from AliExpress - not mentioning the seller but he has a high rating. I was going to use one recommened on here but the seller never replied online so decided to use AliExpress. $190 inc DHL to UK is a good price.
[Android General] Burs:
I found V3 battery dimensions on 4pda russian forum to be 7.5cm x 5.8cm x 0.4cm. So, iocean's battery has less volume, but more capacity (2000mAh vs 1830aAh). Its height is 1mm more, so even if we squeeze it in, it will be very very thight in there. Also there's a question if the contacts would be aligned properly, because iocean's battery is 2,5mm less in width. So anyone thinking about that should think twice...
[Android General] jpower73:
well, check this..

lenovo s820 (2000мАh) 68x58x4 мм

.antelife.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/750x500/f27b5904253bc44bc150f892ff65d8ec/i/m/img_2942_5.jpg

no need to squeeze
[Android General] Burs:
But still it's not wide as V3's. I'm curious how contacts would align. And again it's 3.7V/7.4Wh. Guess that goes with the capacity? Nevertheless, this clearly shows it's possible to put more capacity into smaller volume. I hope iNew releases more capacity batteries soon.
[Android General] jpower73:
As i can see, looking at the picture seems that the contacts fit perfectly.

0,1 volt is nothing.

Another proposition is Thl w8 battery.

i 'd be much obliged if anyone can check these options....
[Android General] Burs:
It's nothing until phone starts to act weird followed by random crashes and restarts :)

Yes, this is the one.
[Android General] Mouratti:
I mail the inew website, they say that, probably would release a battery with more power.

I hope so.

Now i test the storage, and i realise that its impossible install any app on phone memory, only internal memory or SD.

The only method to do this is flashing with that zip file 6gb correct?

thanks
[Android General] tatsel74:
MTK's 6589T gpu is a SGX544 single core, so performance is not that great.
[Android General] Burs:
Now you tell me that :) A few days ago I ordered 2 backup batteries :)

Your terminology is not right here. Phone memory (if you ment phone storage) is on internal memory. So what is the problem exactly?

If it's really impossible to install any of the apps, then the mod won't help you, because it only changes partition size ratio. Then something else would be the problem. There's also a discussion on chinaphonearena where Asphalt8 couldn't be installed despite plenty of free space on both phone storage and apps storage, but we stopped discussing because we're clueless. I would also like to know what is going on here?

Thanks for the correction. Now it's even easier to see the real winner.
[Android General] inspectaclueso:
I have an iNew V3 here and a THL W8. Unfortunately, the THL W8 battery does not fit in the V3. It is almost perfect however it is very slightly too long.
[Android General] Burs:
Thanks for the info. Can anyone with Iocean X7 try it too?
[Android General] jpower73:
Too long for about 1mm?

are The metal contacts aligned?
[Android General] Burs:
Well, the options that are presented to you, are indeed the only possible ones. Sort of. Here's the catch. The application itself (contents of the APK file) can only be installed/copied/extracted to the system partition (1gb), or moved to sd storage. The latter vary, sometimes it's the "internal" sd card (internal memory), and sometimes the real external sd card, like in this case. If you look into the root of your sd card, you will notice ".android_secure" folder which contains all of your moved apps (not just any file managers can list the contents of this folder!). So this folder probably resides on your real external sd card, and all of the application are installed there by default. I believe when you would unmount your sd card (without changing the default storage location), that would force the application to be installed on you internal sd card. So, it's somewhat hard-coded, and the OS itself chooses which sd card it will install the app on. That's how I see it. But again, I don't have the phone yet, so I'm just explaining from my experience, my comprehension, and my developer point of view. Keep us informed about this issue.
[Android General] brandonlee2:
I found this video showing Air gesture working and want to share it :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIONuY1niV8
[Android General] Mouratti:
Thanks!

But doesn't make sense, why i have 12gb phone storage free and for what?

Why say that 16gb rom if only 1gb will be used!?

IF that so change the internal storage (1gb) to 6GB will help a little.

I will try unmount the sd card see what happens.

If i pass this folder to phone storage??
[Android General] Burs:
If, for example, you install a big sized game, its game data will go to phone storage. There's an Android root folder on your phone storage, and everything "outside" the installed APK file, will go there (in data and obb subfolders).

Please read my thorough post on chinaphonearena on that matter (especialy the last paragraph). I think I explained it very well...

You mean mount (or forward access calls) from external to internal sd card?

I already tried it. Ended up with reinstalling of all my apps :)

".android_secure" is a special one. Don't mess with it.

Hi Burs, do you have the phone yet, I forget to mention that when I first receive the phone I try to record 720p video. I found that it has a lot of noise without hearing my voice well. I didnt see anyone got that problem so I try to ask you, please remember with the flash issue.
[Android General] Mouratti:
Thanks

Try and work it on gallery.

What can we configure for that app...i really dont see nothing more then slide photos :)

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

I will try to, didn't test yet.....

Where do you choose the defenitions of the video?
[Android General] thienvandac:
Camera>Video setting(3rd collume of the setting)>>> Video quality : Fine is 1080p, High is 720p, Medium is 480p and last one Low is 144p. ( test )
[Android General] Burs:
Camera in firmware v1.0.3 should be less grainy and sandy, so maybe it's applied to video recordings too? Which firmware are you using?

It can also scroll web pages, but I don't find that useful at all. It should also skip songs (but goes back to home screen) and shoot images (goes to gallery). When not on the home screen, it goes from other screens back to home screen. That's all on my MIUI, and it said it works on custom roms too. So, cool app, but uninstalled it.
[Android General] Mouratti:
Yes i dont think very useful to.

But test it and works fine
[Android General] thienvandac:
Did you forget, I'm the 1st one using 1.0.3 firmware???? It as noise as the 1st (1.0.1) Cant help.
[Android General] Burs:
I'm active on four other forums, so I don't keep track of usernames so much. I just say what others have reported, which might vary from case to case. Just trying to help.

I see what you did in chinaphonearena
[Android General] dgarcbas:
Hello, i am having problems with wifi. I have V 1.0.3.

I am in a room near my router (5 metres between me and the router) and i have a very very low signal. I can't use webbrowser well... it's very slow with wifi. I need to stay near the router to have a food signal.

What can i do? Are there anyone with the same problem?

I'm very frustrated about it.

Sorry for my english level :rolleyes:
[Android General] Burs:
Are there any other WiFi devices nearby? Maybe you have interference between them?

Also, depending on the type of router, you might be able to change the channel on which the signal is broadcasting.

Try to search google with your router model name ond these keywords, and see what comes up.
[Android General] dgarcbas:
I will try it, but... i Live in a house, there are not any other house near it. I think that it's not the problem. I will try to chamge channel
[Android General] Burs:
It doesn't have to be another router in your neighborhood. Devices like wireless headphones, game controllers, NAS, and other portable devices could also be the reason. If they are all in close proximity and operating at the same frequency and/or channel, it could impact the device performance or even render it completely useless.
[Android General] dgarcbas:
Hi, i change the channel of my router and it's not the problem.

In the university i have the same problema, people with other phones have better signal than my inew.

Hi guys,

I see you are experimenting with batteries too ))

Here you can see pictures of Fly's and W8's batteries set into V3 - http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=528112&st=1000 (post 1013 and 1018)

Waiting for test results tomorrow.

Should say that I'm not a big fan of using not original battery. Beside the capacity there are a few other parameters in batteries specs.
[Android General] Chinaphonearena:
Yes, it's a common issue. The phone will charge extremely slowly from 80%-88% (1+ hour), then 'jump' to 100%, then discharge quickly down to 80%. I use an external charger regardless. I recommend it to anyone with or without the issue. They are like $3 and charge the battery overnight to 100%.

I use this 'clamp' style. Not sure if the other enclosed universal chargers are big enough. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...r&rh=n:2335752011,k:universal+battery+charger

On another note:

I've made an 'ultimate' version of 1.0.3

ROM Includes

- Rooted

- 3.5GB internal storage / 10.5GB phone storage

- (NEW) Newest FULL Touch Recovery CWM 6.0.4.4. This recovery is safe to factory

reset with. It won't format /system unless you select option 1.

- (NEW) Boot sound bye-bye

- (NEW) 2 Chinaware removed - smsreg and sharedstoragebackup

- (NEW) Root Explorer app included as part of /system

Otherwise the ROM is completely stock. No add-on junk.

Extras

- Standard CWM 5.5

- Stock recovery

- EBR for 6.0GB internal storage / 8GB phone storage

- (NEW) Stock EBR

- (NEW) Full scatter (for flashing USRDATA and CACHE if needed)

- (NEW) Full expiremental scatter (if any errors when trying to flash, please try to use this scatter instead)

http://www.chinaphonearena.com/foru...e-v1-0-3-3-5GB-internal-rooted-full-touch-CWM
[Android General] Burs:
As a last solution I would try factory reset it, and update the firmware (if you already don't have the newest). If that doesn't fix it, then I really don't know, but I have a hunch that the WiFi is defective. By how much does it deviates from other people's smartphones? How do you measure the signal strength? Only by counting signal bars, or with some app (how many dB does it show)? If the difference is substantial and really concerns you, maybe you should consider sending it back to the seller for warranty.
[Android General] borgami:
Will this rom work if I have already changed the internal storage to 6GB?
[Android General] -fluffy-:
Wat u need to do is charge to 100 wen it is done take out the batr wait a sec then put it back in now let it boot up it will show the real power % if it say 85% charge it again an do the step again untill it shows 100% after taking out batt an back in again thats what i didt whhit my phones
[Android General] Burs:
Thanks. So that eleviates the problem once and for all, or is that just a temporary fix? If it's not permanent, I find it very inconvinient, since I don't plan to do this "take out and put back in" stuff whenever I charge the battery (5-6 times per week).

PS. When can we expect new custom roms? :)
[Android General] -fluffy-:
It wworks for me only didt it ones an on my note3 i have with heavy use arround 35 houres on it with normal use i have hade 2.5 days
[Android General] -fluffy-:
My note3 clone
[Android General] Burs:
I'm confused. Are you trying to say you did it once on your Note3, or did it once on your V3 (which you still didn't have 2 days ago)? It's hard to get the meaning without punctuations in your answer (I guess you're on mobile, but anyway...) So, if you fixed it permanently on V3, that super duper news, but fixing it on another phone doesn't really mean much, since every manufacturer is different.
[Android General] -fluffy-:
Try read note3 no i still dont have inew3 it was an example nothing else
[Android General] pedroxda-developers:
I think using an external charger is quite cumbersome, having to pull the battery every night mobile. imagine you can find another solution :)

Components/Apps not present

Hi there,

I'm using ROM version 1.0.3 and have noticed that Google Services Framework is missing (Google Play realised this and prompts you to download it) and Gmail is also not present.

I've installed these via Google Play however these have always been part of the ROM on other Android devices I've owned.

I've extracted the apk files for both and have uploaded them here...

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/88orcmxvva0v9/iNew V3

Perhaps we can include them in future ROM's?

There could be other things missing but I've only been using the phone for about 24hrs.
[Android General] fappapp:
what does 6 mean hmmmm

might be the issue I am having.

When ever I close my flip cover when im in music player or any app open it will restart my phone!

Also I dont think my NFC works, only tried it with one other device-headphones.

I better getting reading over this thread again so to find a rooting for dummies guide!
[Android General] Burs:
Remember, this is a Chineese phone, and they don't like Google :)

Most of the phones I had before didn't come with Gapps, but they can be downloaded from this thread (just follow the linksr).

Yeah sorry, that's Chineese gibberish, I just copy-pasted it from NeedRom. It was translated using Google Translate by someone else, so you will have to shoot him instead :)

Try this NFC fix if you feel up to the job. But it's not neccesserily a hardware problem, because NFC is not compatible with all possible devices...
[Android General] nikstar1:
Yes this update will fix your problem. When you are in some apps and close the cover , caused the phone to restart.

Update to the new version for no more restarts!
[Android General] Jerome!:
Thanks a million for this hint. Everything worked at my shiny new V3, except for the NFC. Simply using a pushpin and pulled the connectors a few mm out.

Now it recognises my NFC cards. Hooray!
[Android General] thienvandac:
Good on you!
[Android General] shikhar623:
so hows the GPU of 89T(sgx544mp4)compared to that of 82's(Mali400)?
[Android General] Burs:
If SGX is MP4 version, it certainly beats Mali400MP2. But according to the specs, I think single-core 544 is about the same as Mali, maybe slightly better. Remember that CPU power is also very important. With weak CPU you won't get the full power of GPU (and vice versa).
[Android General] dpruim:
Can anyone tell what I need to do to change my battery performance.

I took my phone off the charger this morning, and in 13 minutes i lost 17%!! of my battery (just listening to FM Radio)

If I don't touch my phone it hardly uses any battery (6/7 hours sleep, 1-2%). so standby is awsome, but when the screen goes on..you can actually count down with phone in hand.

The phone itself is great, but the battery is a mystery to me. I've already cycled the battery 3 times.
[Android General] Burs:
If the phone was charged to 100%, then you probably have a (dis)charging bug that many of other users have as well. When discharing from full charge, it can drop very fast to mid-80-ish, but after that it will slow down. You can check a thorough thread about it here, and a great article here.
[Android General] Mouratti:
Yes it's true, unplug the charge and almost lost 1% :victory:
[Android General] borgami:
I find if I let the phone discharge fully I get more time from the battery. Might be worth a try.
[Android General] Burs:
Really? :) I found if I drive my car until the last drop of fuel, then I can make higher mileage.
[Android General] shikhar623:
So finally which one should be preferred, Hongmi or inew v3? As every thing else is almost the same..
[Android General] borgami:
I took my phone out of charger at 7 am UK time. Battery still saying 68%. I'm also using battery du pro and i haven't made any calls.
[Android General] Burs:
V3 pros:

phone storage (16GB vs 8GB)

camera (13/5MP vs 8/1.3MP)

design (love at first sight)

price (got mine for $164)

V3 cons:

battery (already ordered 2 more, so it's not really a downside)

no WCDMA 900Mhz (might be bad for some European users)

not so established brand as Xiaomi

Warning: that's my personal opinion. Needs and wishes might vary.
[Android General] borgami:
You could always get a small power bank. It would mean you don't have to keep swapping batters.
[Android General] Burs:
Yeah, I thought about that too. But I'm not a fan of powerbanks. 4mm battery fits my pocket more easily.
[Android General] JoluGa:
Hello! I have a big problem, Issue "Call ended" when I'm using 3G. 2G Calls and 3G/Data works fine.but when I try and make any calls, it instantly tells me call ended. I need help!
[Android General] Burs:
Try different network mode (GSM/WCDMA auto/prefered, etc). The phone obviously doesn't fall back to 2G when it detects it cannot establish a call on 3G.
[Android General] JoluGa:
Hi, I use 3G service> Enable 3G and Netwrok Mode GSM/WCDMA AUT MODE. My ROM is v1.03.

Thanks
[Android General] shikhar623:
you need to trobleshoot. starting by checking if this problem prevails with any other carrier's sim
[Android General] JoluGa:
Hello, I try another sim (other mobil operator) and it works. I do not use another carrier. What can I do to call with 3g? 3G Internet works fine, but i can't call.

Thank you
[Android General] shikhar623:
pls explain the problem more clearly. do you want to do Video calling? OR are you facing "call drop" problem? what do you mean by 3G calling? Voice calling is same irrespective of 2G or 3G.(though may be better if you have 3G activated).
[Android General] JoluGa:
When I try to make a phonecall (voice). the call ends immediately at 00:00 and cannot receive calls although I have full service bars. only happens when I use 3g signal
[Android General] shikhar623:
Is this happening on both Sim1 and Sim2? Is this happening with one particular Carrier?

Sent from TheXDApp
[Android General] JoluGa:
My problem is with one particular carrier. I don't have this problem on my THL w200. Thanks
[Android General] shikhar623:
so finally we are reaching somewhere!

Joluga, Now check out with different Sim card but of same Carrier.

What is the actual thickness of this phone at it's thickest point?
[Android General] Burs:
7.9mm in the middle, 8.4mm on the camera part. But it's more important how thick/thin does it feel and look like, than the data specs alone.
[Android General] Burs:
I found these phones which are also based on MT6582 as our V3, support UMTS900 (B8). So, a logical assumption would be that V3 also has (hidden) support for that band, right? Is there some other hardware prerequisite, like another antenna or something? Can anyone check if 900Mhz band can be enabled either with phone's engineering menu (*#*#3646633#*#*) or Mobile Uncle Tools or with any other MTK specific tool? If not, I guess the last chance would be modifying radio firmware or importing it from one of those devices which support it out-of-the-box. Anyone?

New rom 1.0.4!! It solve problems battery problems!!

pan(dot)baidu.com/s/1c0Ebjbi

It's only fit for phone with the code: cxq_v3_inew_v1.0.4

Anyone know where is this phone code???

Thanks! im downloading!
[Android General] Burs:
Thanks for the info. Is changelog available somewhere? Where did you get this information from?

It would really be nice if it fixes the battery issue, but everyone thinks it's a hardware issue, so I doubt about that.

But better something than nothing. I will eagerly wait for the test results.

You can find the "phone code" in Settings/About phone menu. But I think there's a typo. It should "fit" the phone with 1.0.3 firmware, right?

EDIT: I just hope there's no new batch with 1.0.4 firmware preinstalled, and that this is only a hotfix for that batch lol...
[Android General] thienvandac:

[Android General] borgami:
Only mentioned as I had issue downloading as I never received activation email.
[Android General] Burs:
Everything went normal, except I didn't see captcha while registering, so I had to create account using my tablet.

Try to send a mail to admin@chinaphonearena.com, maybe they can resolve the issue you're having.

I have all the files, but having difficulties uploading it to Mega file host, so anyone having bad speeds on baidu, will have to wait for awhile, or someone else will post the links (NeedRom, other forums, etc).

Build.prop says it's dated "Fri Jan 17 11:30:45 CST 2014", so it just might be the real thing.

I think many people will install 1.0.4 because of this above.
[Android General] thienvandac:
I already have the account, I do not mean not reg yet. Never mind that.

Charging issue is pointless for me cause I have charge 1.5A Sony, 2A nexus 7, and the voltage is 4.189V. Good battery so far. I load the scatter file, all work, but I don't think I flash that ROM cause it not official present.
[Android General] Burs:
Then you will have to wait some more time for the official version, since this is the third firmware already, and none of them are "official" :)

Heck, the iNew webpage doesn't even have a V3 firmware download category! Only for iX000 models...

V3 or i6000+

Hello,

i have to decide to buy a phablet,

i saw the

inew V3 and

inew I6000+

but perhaps the I6000+ doesnt support NFC

can someoune tell me if the I6000+ does support it?

I cant find any information on the newest I6000+ model

Thank you!
[Android General] Burs:
I think you're in the wrong thread.

Your question could be answered sooner here.

And V3 is not a phablet.
[Android General] thienvandac:
I forget to ask about ur phone, is it come yet? Maybe I wait some more time, cause I need it in one more week for a special occasion, I don't want it to stuck at any further problems.

Maybe it true cause inew didn't announce any official for inew v3 yet. Let wait for Miui rom
