I can confirm that the build quality is not very good, much worse than my previous Samsung S3.

But it is great phone for that price! :)

Well, after a usage of about 5 months, the glass that installed in front of the camera got seriously scratched. Did your guys found this problem yet?

I don't do well on English, so please quote me if you want to know what excatly I said.
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
The quality is fine and I had before samsung note 3 and xiaomi m2s so zte quality the same at least the unit I have.

The only thing that ZTE not good is a support for their ROMS, if I compare it to xiaomi or meizu they all have roms with built in languages and very often updates with built in root, ZTE is far away behind with they software support for their phones....:(

I lost an silver E on the back of the phone. The bacl is the only thing I dont like. But that stuff is not that important, since the more important things for me are ok, telephone and camera.

For the screen I used a protector. Fits not perfect in one corner but does its job. It's been falling a couple of time from about 1 meter. Fortunately the glass didn't break.

By the way is the camera on the 3.08 the same module as the one on the B14?
[Device Reviews and Information] JohnXrs:
The phone doesn't have gorilla glass so a tempered glass is a must if you want to properly protect the screen.I got 2 of them from geekbuying around 6 euros each.
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
I think that build quality level is quite a sbjective preception, for me too the back cover is the worst part, it seems too filmsy, expecially the hooks, so i always go very gentle when I have to open it, also it's quite slippery and doesn't match perfectly the battery profile, so it leaves an empty space feeling in some points. Anyway I use a silicon cover on the phone, that makes it feel more solid and has much more grip. I don't like too much the volume buttons too, they seems a bit loose, but nothing really troubling.

About MF 3.0.8, any impressions about signal strenght and system smoothness?
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
The signal strong and stable overall, system is very smooth without all the chines apps

SuperSu crashed here too when i first opened it, but Play Store immediately notified that it were to be updated, after update it went ok.

I had the same. Now its ok. I am using MF 3.0.8 two days by now and everything is ok at the moment.

This are the specs from the most reliable source.. And if you check the first page of this topic you will find the same link.

This phone is equipped with Gorilla Glass 3... But, as I was saying, the tempered glass is a very good idea ( I fitted my S291 and my MI3 with tempered glass protection even if both have GG 3). Gorilla Glass is just harder to scratch, not unscratchable.

I have a s251 and have rooted but am having trouble installing gapps

Hi,

I am a newb first off. I have a s251 that I want to install gapps on. A friend got it in China during the summer (it sounds like it was only released in late nov so this one may be a pre-release and have a different software just FYI).

I followed this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/android/general/zte-grand-sii-z251-rooting-guide-indian-t2962921

It worked great. The phone is now rooted with KingUser installed.

I copied the gapps file from this thread and tried to install from recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2768856

But, I keep getting this:

Finding update package....

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

Installation Aborted.

with no other error codes.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I tested that gapps, it always pop up google search have stoped.....then I install APEX launcher, it stop

I recommend to install another luancher and set it to default before you flash gapps, or when it still pop up, you can pulldown status bar then go into settings, click OK, it won't FC in a while

NO, just wipe and flash it. But Your recovery may go back to stock recovery

5.0 ROM expirience

Hi folks, i also tested the new beta3 5.0 rom for our S291.

I had a issue with installing, i use the English cwm recovery (the old one), while installing i got every time the device error (this is a s291 and not msm8974). I found here a solution with the update-script , you can use mine if you like (works fine):

http://d-h.st/MGFR

Just put it into the zip file under

META-INF-> com -> google -> android

The second issue was to find the proper gapps , nano etc. don’t worked. Full gapps (more than 200mb) works just fine:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001614821

This rom works fine, but i got some fc´s in few apps like facebook , dolphin browser , etc. The wi-fi location also doesn’t work.

Question

What will happen if I flash cm11 rom of a nubia z7 max on our device?
[Device Reviews and Information] jozco313:
You will brick your device, because the Z7 Max has a little different hardware for example our cpu is MSM8974AB and the z7 MSM8974AC , different camera and many others chips. It would not work , if it was so easy we would flash roms from galaxy s5 , etc.
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
Its the same CPU just different frequency, camera same almost all hardware the same,I'm just saying theoreticaly..

Bugs that you describe were solved in cm11 by hasz in his second and third versions, this CM11 edition don't have this bugs but it have the bug that every time you reboot your phone it's optimizing all your apps, another bug is with auto brightness and sometimes the wifi not connecting but for me the most critical bug that were in all hasz versions is wifi location that didn't worked and here its working perfectly.

[Device Reviews and Information] pbmm:
I am liking this CM11 version. Especially that my phone can't install Hasz's version. The camera is not as quick compared with the stock Rom. And really long boot up time as described by Chetbiz.

There is bug on the camera switching back from the camcorder. Reddish smudge appeared at the periphery of the screen switching back from the camcorder. And it is saved with the picture if you take one. I just installed google camera and seems to be working fine. Didn't really experienced the random reboots.

How to change into ClockWorkMod?

Hello everyone!

I am a proud owner of ZTE Grand S II S291.

Previously I had ClockWorkMod recovery installed on my phone and was easily able to flash new roms.

But recently, after flashing a MiFavor 3.0.7 KitKat rom from the chinese forum, my CWM is gone.

Instead of CWM, I am getting "Android System Recovery <3e>".

This has similar options to CWM, but every time I try to install a rom via "Install update from SD Card"

it fails, saying "Installation aborted".

Can some one please help me to put back ClockWorkMod Recovery so I can install some of the roms here.

Thank a ton!:good:
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
Your recovery have back to stock recovery after installing stock software, so it fail to install any custom roms, just do as how you did before to install custom recovery. Or you can go here to download file（it's the latest file for that tutorial, you needn't download the attached file in that thread）: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1i33Nnud Code: r54b

Hey guys! I've got some troble here. The PPSSPP went laggy after I update my MF3.0.8 to 3.1.1. I have tried all I can do, none of them worked. Then I checked the GPU frenquency, it stayed at 330MHz anddidn't go any higher than that. I tried to force the cpu stays at 2.26GHz and made 4 cores online. But it was still laggy. Any ideas?

I don't do well on English, so please quote me if you want to know what excatly I said.
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
I just upgraded to 3.1.1 yesterday evening, I noticed some little lagging scrolling pagese and changing windows and plenned to inspect this today, now I read yor post and checked: confirmed, gpu capped at 330 mhz.

Reverted immediately to 3.0.8, checked again and sadly it now stays capped at 330 mhz even here °_°'''

WTF is gong on? Really pissed :\

[EDIT]

Just checked with Device Control, that let you manage GPU clock and governor, it show GPU max freq correctly set at 578, but CPU-Z says it doesn't scalt up to it but stays capped at 330 :(

Ok I don't run heavy graphic apps o games, so it could be energy friendly for me, but hey, I don't want it to go at nearly half the speed >_<
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
I've also tried to flash a Lollipop ROM, but it still goes the same way: GPU stuck at 330MHz. Anyway, can it be fixed? Or should I ask some devs in China?

What system monitor are you using? I can't find a monitor that shows current GPU frequency.

[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
It's Trepn Profiler, if you need, you can download from http://pan.baidu.com/s/1jGxJQb8
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
Alright, the laggy problem doesn't really caused by GPU, maybe it was caused by the system. As you can see from the grah in the snapshot of the screen while playing PPSSPP , the GPU dosen't even need to go to a frequency that is higher than 330MHz because the 3D don't need this much. So that leads to a conclusion: GPU wasn't the main factor that made PPSSPP running slow.Then I tried to force the GPU to stay at 578MHz, nothing changed, PPSSPP still runs laggyly. I got a smooth experience on PPSSPP back in the yime when I used MF3.0.8. Changing CPU frequency and changing GPU frequency doesn't really help to improve the fluency while running some games, such as PPSSPP. Anyway, is there a way to fix it? So, I'm with a long face now, or now maybe I'm look like this→[emoji24] .This is how my face changed→[emoji1] [emoji6] [emoji26] [emoji27] [emoji29] [emoji30] [emoji31] [emoji33] [emoji35] [emoji36] [emoji24] [emoji88]

[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Ok, I was misleaded, tried launching 3D Mark and checked with Trepn (interesting app :) ), gpu scales correctly to 578Mhz when stressed.

For the lagging with PPSSPP I can guess nothing, never used it, did you try with the canonical wipe cache\dalvik and deleting app data?

p.s.

Miku *_*
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
But the System Tuner shows me that the GPU can only stays on 330MHz. I have no idea on which one shows the right data.

I don't do well on English, so please quote me if you want to know what excatly I said.
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
I don't know specifically System Tuner but I think that Trepn is reliable since with it's overlay panels can show actual freq with other apps running in foreground. Even using 3D Mark the gpu doesn't stay at max freq all the times, it stay at 330 or a little more often and go to 578 just when really, really stressed, so i suppose that monitoring with another tools that doesn't have overlay panels but need to switch to it's window, puts 3D mark in background unloading the gpu, so that it never goes to max freq, just as when I was checking with CPU-Z.
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
I done it like this( please imagin the lower APP as system tuner)

I don't do well on English, so please quote me if you want to know what excatly I said.
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
I tried the same method with CPU-Z and GFX Bench and GPU was always at 330Mhz, maybe with splitted screen the apps run at a lower resolution and the Adreno 330 doesn't need to pump itself to max freq, but I'm just assuming it and can't say much more since I never focused to gpu freq with previous roms.
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
Ok, problem solved after I wiped the data. But I still got on question: why it was laggy when slip the menu up and down? I mean the animation looks not so smooth when I pull down the notification bar, viewing the website. Unlike the HTC, it really looks smooth after I playing with it for a couple of minutes. My English is not good enough to describe my feelings.

Use Android 5.0 v4 now and notice, that power consumption more than in Mifavor 3.x, CPU frequency has minimal value 1.5GHz (all have this?), not 300MHz as it should be.
