Lte (4g) - test

I have new info for those who want try

4G (LTE)

but cannot disconnect from the 3G network , just go to dialer and type this: *#*#4636#*#*

you will be in the testing menu , now go to phone information then scroll down and you will se: set preferred network type and choose LTE only , i can´t try it now because I live in a small town/village and we don’t have 4g coverage only 3G-HSDPA..

Good Luck and tell us the testing result a speedtest would be also nice ;)

Build quality of phone is good? Screen density is ok? Definition of screen is good? Sound of speakers is fine? And any possibily to have kit kat and remove chinese bloatware?
[Device Reviews and Information] jozco313:
Just read :) , the build quality is good , it´s plastic but don´t feels cheap it is like the samsung galaxy phones. Screen density? If you mean DPI , originally it´s 480dpi but you can change to 445. The speaker is really great, loud and good sound the build in dolby equalizer give to it an extra kick. ZTE said that there will be the 4.4 update soon , when you have root you can remove it easily.

[Device Reviews and Information] MCarek:
You can try find info in this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17081413. I found this in czech forum. Basically you must only adjust file gps.conf inf /etc/ if it´s not a hardware issue. This is manual for all android devices. In this file you can find these lines:

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org (or something else for example: europe, south-america etc)

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

and change to this

NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org (change to your continent location)

NTP_SERVER=0.sk.pool.ntp.org (you can add this line especial for your country but it is not necessary)

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

Before this make a copy the file gps.conf and after this is not recommended using any apps like gps fix or somethng else. I hope it helps ;)

For others - if your gps works fine you don´t do this it´s voluntary

Install a CWM recovery. The stock recovery is not very functional.

My English is poor
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
Just translation, haven't tried

1. The author tried on cwm 6.0.4.7, others may work

2. Backup all your important data to external SD card

3. Download this attachment: http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=2711912181&uk=3053826533 Code: ad66

4. Enter recovery, do the following step by step (Red words are just for explanations):

1) add the two file in download zip to system directory

adb push parted /

adb push busybox-armv7l /

2) Enter shell, get root access

adb shell

su

3) Change them into executed files

chmod +x ./parted

chmod +x ./busybox-armv7l

4) Change the original internal storage into user data partition, and format it into ext4

./parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 23 userdata

make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p23

5) Change the original user data partition into internal storage, and format it into vfat

./parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 13 fat

./busybox-armv7l mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p13

6) Enter recovery again

reboot recovery

5. Install rom, recommend use adb sidelode mode

6. Restore data

I checked from others, they said no need to do step 5

Edit: I have tried and succesfully swapped partitions, I have now 8 GB userdata partition. It went throught TWRP. Now I have to find out how to change TWRP theme to english one. I trid to copy to theme folder, but no succes.

Edit 2: Finally managed to change TWRP to english language. TWRP is looking for theme folder not in internal storage or external SD card, but it made folder in /data/TWRP.

[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
OK, you should type it on PC. For me , I had error with finding su (I am on alexeei CM) , but all went fine. For clearing things, I used TWRP 2.8.6.0
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
So in step 5, after entering recovery again, you just reboot system ?

And the author didn't say how to swaped back to original partition..
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
Yes, just reboot to system. To go back to the old layout I suppose to just do the steps once again.

I just found out, in new layout in TWRP you can´t acces internal storage. TWRP is thinking, that it is /data.

Internal storage

Total space 8,79GB

Available 3,75GB

SD card

Total space 29,80GB

So as you see, there is free space to update - any suggestions what's wrong?

Why the internal storage is divided into 2 parts (in Apps option, Downloaded section, when i choose Move to SD card - data is transfered from one part of internal storage to second)
[Device Reviews and Information] npoptomov:
First install the Stock ROM B16 or B17 via stock recovery then flash the CM 12.1 via custom recovery.

Free space is not enough, 397M left though, you can swap the two internal storage follow my previous post. but then 3.93G is not enough for media data

教程：

1，首先，我是6.0.4.7的那个第三方Recovery，不是这个的我就没有确认了，应该差不多。

2，备份数据，推荐GoBackup，基本完美。备份结果应该要拷贝到TF卡上。。

3，把内置SD卡的重要东西拷贝到TF卡上。。自己研究。

4，下载这个附件，后面要用的。

链接：htt我p://靠pan.b还aidu没权限.com/s/1q呵呵WEdeH2 密码：ad66

5，进Recovery，按照如下执行，如果完全看不懂的建议就不要折腾了，找人来做吧

每一步都一步步来，不要全部复制粘贴进去，谢谢~~

红字是说明原理的

把2个重要文件放入系统/目录

adb push parted /

adb push busybox-armv7l /

进shell，变成root用户

adb shell

su

改成可执行文件

chmod +x ./parted

chmod +x ./busybox-armv7l

把原内置sd分区改成userdata分区，并且格式化成ext4

./parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 23 userdata

make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p23

把原内置userdata分区改成sd分区，并且格式化成vfat

./parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 13 fat

./busybox-armv7l mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p13

重启进入recovery，

reboot recovery

6，刷机，建议直接adb sidelode模式，省事。

7，恢复备份。Gobackup的东西要先拷回内置sd。
