What ROM are you using right now? B15? B13? MF3.1.9? If you are coming from B15 or ROMs that has a "B" in it's name, I recommend you to make a clean installation. A data wipe is needed. If are coming from MF 3.1.x, then just install it and it should be fine.

I'm in "MF 3.1.8 my edition" from alexeei so it's ok normally?

Sorry for my bad English.

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
Yes just install it. But just in case, if you find any problems , such as lots of force stops or something is not working, you'll have to try to wipe the data. If everything is OK, then don't wipe the data.

Guys, I get notification from a certain apps (Google Keep, ColorNote...etc) at the wrong time. Like for example I must get the notification 6:30 AM but I'm getting the notification at 6:17 AM.

I'm using MF 3.1.8 by Alexeei.

How to fix it ?!!

There are some bugs, hopefully this report is useful for somebody interested

1. Bluetooth, generally it works, but when the bluetooth device(like the car bluetooth system) starts to read the contact information from phone assume, he bluetooth will die and not come again unless reboot the phone. workaround is to disable the related function for the device. only allow the phone and audio functions

2. GPS -fix is very slow, I would say, I never get the GPS work really properly

3. Can not connect to computer through USB, can not setup in related menu

besides above, everything are good in my experience

[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
I'm on the b10 official and were oon b09 before, never get higher then 34000,strange..
[Device Reviews and Information] PontPilatus:
All I can imagine is that you have some applications running in the background, which slow down the phone. When I ran Antutu I didnot even switch off cellular connection or data connection - just closed all programms, charged the phone to 100% and thats it.

P.S. Just re-ran the test - this time got only 33997 points. Hmm, strange.
[Device Reviews and Information] jozco313:
The antutu score doesn´t mean your phone is faster :) , the system is still laggy when i had the MIUI 4.4 beta on the S291 the system was a way faster... But some info in 10 days (25.7) there will be the official kitkat udate :D

Audio problems

Hi folks, I have got serious audio problems with my brand new grand s2, the sound from headphone speaker and jack is distorted - cracking noise. I rooted the phone, installed CWM and latest firmware this morning and when I made a call I discovered the distorted sound from headphone speaker. I did not try to make a call with original firmware so maybe I did something wrong with rooting and installing CWM. Can you tell me how can I install original recovery and unroot phone? I hope it is not hardware problem because I bought the phone from aliexpress and 1 year warranty is questionable. Thanks in advance for answers.
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
I don't think CMW and root some how related to your sound problem, all roms I used b08,b09 and b10 were with CMW+root , and there is no sound problems. any way in the root recovery program I think there is an option to uninstall the cmw and if you install new original rom the root and cmw gone anyway, at least that what happened when I installed the b10 version.
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
This is actually a hardware issue. Grand S II is a Chinese-brand phone which uses Chinese specification's fitting. The headphone plug's specification is different between the American's specification and the Chinese's specification. Maybe you have to buy a adapter in order to use your headphone. My English is really really poor, so I don't know if my explanation is good enough to you to understand.

My English is poor

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

Not just the APPs running in the background, the CPU will pull the frequency down when it gets hot. And that was one of the most element that affects the score.

about installing new B16 rom, something strange - you can back to miui roms and the touch works fine. Flashed miui 4.11.29 by hasz after B16 and touch screen works.but if you flashing MF roms the touch not working...

in miui 6 touch don't work, the only rom that touch works after B16 is miui 5
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
I went to the myzte.cn and saw some feedbacks. Phones can get hot easily, and it is lacky even after users slim the system. The occupation of the RAM usage is huge. 55% left after booting in, and the occupation goes bigger and you will have to restart it and this will not get better even you have already restart it for several times.

Sad day today, just to let you know I destroyed my beloved S291, I was keeping it in my hand when I suddenly stumbled going up a staircase and fell down with that hand and phone on the edge of a step, with all my weight on it U_U The entire lower half of the screen cracked together with the touch, now it's working only on the upper half D: Now I'm using it with a mouse via otg :D I'm thinking about ordering a replace screen +touch for about €40 but don't know if I'll be able to replace it on my own, I didn't find any howto guide or video for our phone. Anyway now I have to get a replace phone, so I don't know if you'll see me around anymore, so sad :(

[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Well, I choose the S291 after a lot of reading and reserching, it has exhactly all that i want for the price i want, I was really satisfied with it until now, so i hardly can buy a bettr phone for me, since I don't want to spend more than thast for a cell phone. Now I', evaluating Zenphone 2 (550) o Honor 4X from domestic market, but they are either worse than S291 to me, not only for chipset or screen, but even for other details, like the removable battery.

It's the reason I'm thinking about repairing the S2291 and getting in the meantime a low cost-low spec phone (i.e. Ascend Y550) just for the time the replace screen will get to arrive (typically 1-2 months from aliexpress)

Oh nice, I totally forgot about it, going to check it this evening, thanky you a lot as always ;)

An official said unless other roms have updated latest drivers, or you can't install. and if B16 is well reviewed, subsequent versions surely will update drivers and then you can install.

But some guys said you can install other roms after restoring previous version from rec, may be you can have a try if you have a backup

Please allow me to use a word 呵呵 as my feeling of today's MF 3.2 sh*t right now. Yes ZTE kept their word but what they autcally did is to release a laggy 5.0 which is even laggier then the 4.4. How can it be like is?? This is a Lollipop, and S291 equipes a Snapdragon 801, then how did ZTE made their system this worse? I even got stuck for a few seconds several times while I was typing this post. I saw a friend of mine who uses a HTC one M8 and his phone has almost the same CPU as ours and also running a Lollipop and his phone is absolutely smooth. Unlike mine. I'll try the CM12 of 5.1.

Install and Update Apps on custom ROMs

Let's say I'm not a Google fan, but all the companies/software developers distribute their Android software and updates for it via Google Play Market. They don't distribute their software on their websites, it is all redirecting me to the Google Play Store.

OK. I have a great ZTE device with installed CM12.1 (Android 5.1) or MF3.2 (Android5.0) ROM, but without any Apps Store. How do I can install any app on to the device? And in future how I can automatically update installed apps?

I honestly confused and do not understand how to be in this situation, how is it possible to use the SMART phone without the possibility of installing applications? Why the ROMs developers don't giving us this possibility? Or I maybe don't know some way?

Of course you can have play store, you need to flash gapps. And you are free to install any app from any app store. Gapps are useless in China so they don't add them into their rom.

Unfortunately I was being a dumbo and broke my own phone. I was trying to make my own charger which failed miserably and short circuited my phone.

Next time I'll probably be buying from a Europe or North American warehouse so shipping times are a lot shorter.
