THL W200S and DOOGEE DG550 Which phone is better?
[Android General] susch19:
It depends on what you want to do with the phone. If you need a bigger internal sd you should take w200s. If you want to have a newer Android version or a 5.5 inch screen instead of a good inch one you should buy DG550.

Both phones have pros and cons. Even the design is completely different.

Why that happen some phones already have been upgraded
[Android General] RSGI:
You mean via OTA?
[Android General] susch19:
You have to know that for example ThL, Star or other companies have to make/port the software by themselves and MTK hasn't released an official software based on kitkat for developers or companies.

That are the information I have, if something is wrong, correct it please ;D

Gesendet von meinem W200s mit Tapatalk
[Android General] Vonnegut:
Wrong.

Of course nobody can make a kernel and some system apps for kitkat without having a detailed spec of the hardware.

Only the MTK engineers can make the modules needed for the the kitkat kernel. And they did...

..and released it to the brands selling phones mounting MTK chips. MTK had to release the source code to the world too (as Samsung, Qualcomm and most of other companies manifacturing hardware do) but MTK is well known for not respecting the GPL agreements

http://www.gizchina.com/2014/03/24/mediatek-dont-share-source-code/

Anyway MTK gave both the code and system app to the vendors. Vendors started shaping their own version of android (as usual). Lenovo was the first one to release their VIBE UI for kitkat for the S939 phone model in march. Since then, other brands did the same.

Even Zopo is going to release kitkat very soon ( http://www.gizchina.com/2014/05/06/zopo-get-android-4-4-kitkat-action-update-zopo-zp998/ ).

What about THL? They say they are still testing...

My pleasure :)
[Android General] satiros:
we need a working rom and a dev
[Android General] Vonnegut:
Or maybe you should start writing to MTK and oblige them to honour the GPL agreements

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/have-you-paid-your-linux-kernel-source-license-fee/

Then you'll see devs devolping ROMs and fixing bugs for each and every MTK device out there (and even a CyanogenMod for your phone).

Device rejected them by itself automatically but can send those kinds of file by " root explorer" (not by it's file manager because it have not bluetooth option) I flashed the device by official rom and the other one on needrom.com : (ThL.W200S.156D?.A1.JB9.HD.EN.?8P256.OV8825.M?T659 2GW.201402?21) and (ThL.W200S.156D?.A1.JB9.HD.EN.?8P256.OV8825.M?T659 2GW.201402?12) but bluetooh problem didn't solve is it possible for you to help me fix the problem?

On my phone Gsam battery shows tha phone radio battery consumption is 67% also signal strength is -91dBm. Is that normal!
[Android General] Vonnegut:
67% of what?

For instance, if you had consumed 1% of the battery in the last 16 hours and 96% of that 1% was due to the phone radio, you would have the greatest battery saving phone in the universe.

You can't read only one statistic...

Well, that's very bad, it might explode..................unless you mean that your signal has been at level 2 (or 4) 91% of the time.

Battery drains very quick

Hi folks, and greetings from Mexico. I own a W200S, very nice phone indeed. I have been trying several of the roms posted here, and I have read the whole thread more than once hehe. I am very curious, my battery is averaging 12-16 hrs only, and I see some of you are getting 24-28 hours out of it. I have been a first hand witness of the battery bugs in Vanilla Experience and Minimal roms, battery charging to 4.2 or even only 4.1 volts. May I ask which one of the roms gives better battery life? I mean, which one of them lets the phone charge to 4.35 volts? Thanks in advance!

PS I am currently trying stock rom with zopo modem which is supposed to give a bit better battery performance.

[Android General] Coolgreek:
Well, if i'm not mistaken MTK Droid tools does exactly that... But i'm now aware if it also backups personal info and imei form your phone, which then will need to be removed from someone more "familiar" to flashable packages than me:(.

I have found and translated the following instructions to you of how to make a flashable backup of a rom and prepare files for the SP flash tool

u'll need

ADB drivers, u can use those (they also have a uninstall option you can choose if you have older drivers not working).

MTK Droid Tools

see and download here

*if you have any antivirus it may detect the package as unwanted program/malware or even virus, it's a FALSE alarm (just turn the antivirus of for a couple of minutes until you install the package).

First you'need to enable the "USB debugging" option on your phone. Open the MTDroid Tools and connect your phone to the pc. Once the phone get's recognized (the MTDroid Tools will show the phone model and some info) press the "ROOT" button (on MTDroid Tools). On the button left corner of the program's window you'll see a yellow box turn into green. Also at the same time your phone will ask to allow root access to the program (allow it).

Now on MTDroid tools go to "Root, backup, recovery" tab. Select "backup userdata and cache" and click on the "BACKUP" button

-Be careful as userdata and cache may contain some personal info -the ones that are on your phone. Also keep in mind that you'll need enough space on your SD card (if no SD card is connected then the internal memory space of your phone will be used -32gb must be enough:cowboy:) for the backup (backup is firstly saved on phones memory and then gets transferred to the pc).

Now give the program some time as this process need enough time.

-When the Backup completes you 'll be asked if you want to "PACK" the backup. Choose "NO".

Now press the "To prepare blocks for Flash Tool" button, it will ask you fot he MD5 file, you'll find it in the \MtkDroidTools\backups\ThL-W200S_xxxxx_backup_xxxxxx-xxxxxx\ folder.

That's it, now you have a full backup of your rom to flash...

*DISLAIMER: i am not responsible for anything you may do wrong, the xda page on the link above also contains instructions you might find more useful...

Also i am not responsible if anything personal is contained in a backup you (might) upload. If you intend to do so maybe a factory reset would be better before creating a backup... Those "personal" info could be imei (mostly), maybe also contacts, personal email accounr etc. Also the above data may be wrong for other phones than yours (wrong imei will make other phones not work correctly), however if you post a full backup i'm sure someone will be able to make out something of it, removing any extra not needed "info" from the package.

OK. Go to google store and install mobileuncle tools. Give it root permissions or it will not work! Enter engineermode/hardware testing/sensor/light-proximity sensor/ps calibration/calibration.

Now on top you should have PS:(number flickering). If so then cover the sensor and see if the number increases to a static number!

That means its working. Press button (do calibration) following the instructions. Then see if it works. If there are no flickering numbers, then your PS not working. Nothing you can do.

Original lights.default.so from stock rom:

http://turbobit.net/download/free/12ogsshrkuqk

You'll need (as you know) to restore file in it's original directory (system/lib/hw) with it's original properties in order to work.

Also I'm new to CM and was under the impression there are supposed to be more settings in CM roms. I cant seem to see any extra items in the settings app e.g. interface and lock screen stuff like you get on other devices CM roms. anyway i know most of that stuff is in gravity box so it doesnt matter, was just wondering if this is normal. Any way, great rom, many thanks to the dev, completely flawless so far, well done and thankyou.
[Android General] RSGI:
OK

So far detected 2 bugs on CM11 ROM:

1- when disabling flight mode pops a NFC error

Thats because this rom was ported from the T100s that an NFC.

Fix: remove all NFC related files and theres no more error

2- Google Now crashes

Google serviços are incomplete

Fix: as mention on the previous post, download and install Google Search from play store.

About the battery, mine charged today 100% at 4.312v. Seems acceptable.

I'll be testing this ROM for the next 3/4 days to detect any more bugs.

Also i will prepare a flashable ROM with all the fixes i can make.

These 2 are already done.

Unfortunately this is a bug with the facebook app. if you filter the reviews on the play store to this device you will see everyone has this problem and has rated it 1 star. Hopefully if enough people rate it poorly they might fix it.

Here you go

/system/etc/nfcse.cfg
/system/etc/nfc.cfg
/system/permissions/android.hardware.nfc.xml

/system/lib/libnfc_mt6605_jni.so
/system/lib/libnfc_ndef.so
/system/lib/libmtknfc.so

I detected these ones... there could be more... but deleting this ones should be enough...

Try uninstalling first NFC.apk with RootUninstall app, then try to find all those files, and if you find any just delete them...
