I was about to send the phone back to China and I want to try to open for the last time... The same problem again.... It didn't boot but seems operated... Then Itthought to try something that I have read about save mode. That with the phone close you press power and after vibration you press any hardware button (I press power again) for 4 times.... And the phone boot....
[Android General] stonebonez:
Well I wanted to change the stock lock screen clock (with the strangely overlapping digits) to something more useful like a standard digital clock that can also show at least one additional clock for a different time zone. I tried changing it with the clock widget that comes with the phone, but that actually worked out worse as it drops the last digit off the clock and displays it underneath. Real cooky, must be a bug.

I've tried several world clock widgets from the Play store, but I'm not satisfied with any so far. Thanks for the tip on the MI launcher, I'll have a look at it.

hi all, happy owner of this device :D just wanted to know if there's another kernel for this device, 'cause i'd like to have a more tweackable kernel :P
[Android General] tsiglas:
Sorry but problems still exist.... The phone is going back to China.... Screen or motherboard problem
[Android General] maxilimian:
Then Your phone is brick, should be repaired by the technician who has the tools for it ... because it happens after root, isn't it?
[Android General] tsiglas:
This is nothing has to do with root...propably motherbord or screen problem....i have another same phone with root and all staff and i have no problems.....but for the record yes happens after the root but when i First open the phone i root it allready...so i cant be sure.....

NFC?

I have one of these great phones too. Great screen and very smooth and powerful.

But I do have one problem, I can't seem to get NFC working. Switched on in settings but nothing happens when I approach with a tag.

Anyone out there got theirs working and/or help me with troubleshooting?
[Android General] maxilimian:
Did not have NFC with other devices, so i can't test it before, maybe you can ask colonelzap for it, if i'm not wrong, he also has the same issues thought at first like you, then he find out that the NFC works well ...

[Android General] maxilimian:
My pin is completely in their place, and never have an issues with the signal
[Android General] vylong:
pin

when you said completely in their place you mean like Original 2 pins on the bottom??

mine 1 on bottom 1 on top right
[Android General] maxilimian:
Complete, i mean 2 on the bottom and 1 on the top right, so there's 3 pins on it, but unfortunately there is a tiny crack on the top left top of the phone, but there's no problem with it ... i bought from An*elife :)

The GPS signal lock fast in seconds with the data connection since i didn't install any maps on it
[Android General] vylong:

autofokus

Mein K1 turbo Handy top kamera autofokus funktioniert nicht, dass Front kamera perfekt. Hat jemanden solches problem schon ?

Ich habe meine Handy schon 1 monate gekauft, bis jetzt alles hat sehr gut funktioniert.

Ich habe schon probiert andere kamera app aber das fokus schlecht. Das Kamera geht nur das fokus kaputt.... :(

Weist jemand wie kann Mann die Kamera firmware upgrade diesem model ? Andere idea ?

Ich habe schon geschrieben für efox ... aber Kina ist zu weit von hier und die Garantie Zeit wäre viel !
[Android General] maxilimian:
Haben Sie keine Updates OTA versucht? Sie brauchen genügend Zeit, bis der Fokus Quadratanzeige grün, und dann dauert kann ein Shooting nach den Bildern klar, manchmal ist es immer noch nicht klar, auch es ist schon grün, in diesem Fall müssen Sie den Autofokus bis grün und die Bilder wiederholen klar

Sorry, ich bin mit Übersetzer

WHY everyone is Escaping the Battery drain Question?

WHY everyone is Escaping the battery drain question?

Can anyone play video in loop to tell how many hours the battery holds?

OR

3G talk time

OR

Web browsing time?

Each test will be continuous - in loop, no other apps open ( like gps, in\out call, B.T. ..)

Thank You.
[Android General] Mouratti:
Hello

I already sell my phone!

But for 3g use and calls, maybe 1 day (depends on the use it)

But for example use 8 AM to 8 PM you already need to charge.

I recomend juice defender and greenify.

Juice defender disbale 3G and rfresh in 5 minutes or 15 minutes.
[Android General] ultimate11:
1. Thanks for quick reply.

2. Did you sell it cause of battery life?

3. LG g3 battery life: 3G=25 H, Web=6.4 H, Video playback=10H

thanks

GPS issues K1 turbo

Hey everyone,

I've had my phone for about a 2 months now everything works great except the gps on mine. I noticed that everyone here says they have a fast gps lock. Mine never get a full strength lock using gps and it takes a long time when it does lock, this is when I'm outdoors with nothing blocking my view. It can get a lock but its weak and will loose the signal very easily.

I've downloaded a couple of GPS programs to see how many satellites I'm connecting to, I'm currently using GPS Test. When I am connected and get a lock for gps, I'm connected to 11 satellites but the connections are very weak. I've cleared the A-GPS data and redownloaded it but that hasn't fixed the problem.

Is anyone else having/had a similar problem? Or have any ideas to fix the problem?

Thanks!
[Android General] maxilimian:
Maybe the satellites signal in your place is weak? Maybe you can try it on another place? Or you can try fastest gps software to fix the lock

NVRAM request

I have messed up my IMEI when playing with different roms.I have tried multiple different programs (some successfully repaired the IMEI but with a factory reset, my IMEIs disappear again). I guess I need a NVRAM backup. Would anybody with a rooted K1 Turbo willing to dump a NVRAM using MTK Droid tools?

Thanks
[Android General] Mouratti:
Try the site needrom i put. The original ROM, send by factory to me. I guess you have it there. Mouratti
[Android General] onurd:
None of those roms on needrom actually have the nvram... I tried all of them and after a factory reset my IMEIs disappear again. I have read that my "hard copy" of the nvram is corrupt and I have replace it with a copy from another Kingzone K1 turbo... Adding IMEIs with MTKTOOLS etc supposedly only replaces the "soft copy" of the nvram (which is a folder on the data partition)...
[Android General] Myron2099:
I also bought me this device.molto satisfied compared to S3 ... I wanted to know how do you enable port mhl ?? I tried it with the cable but does not display anything
[Android General] dsilva92:
Hi Guys!

I just did an huge mistake and if any of you could help me I would be honestly grateful.

It's the following. I had a THL W8S in which I had the gravitybox and I loved it, this week I bought the Kingzone K1S turbo and I just wanted to install also the xposed and the gravitybox. But didn't searched well and I thought it would work.

Unfortunetely it doesn't work, but the phone now doesn't turn on. When I tried to activate the xposed I was rebooting and now he turns on just appears the king's logo and it doesn't pass from there.

Any of you can help me please? :(
[Android General] velvetwafer:
Exactly the same

i have a similar problem, tho i think it happened because i entered wrong values in build.prop...really, a simplified guide for resetting this to STOCK, would be very,very awesome!:laugh:
[Android General] maxilimian:
can you try entering safe mode? If it couldn't

You just need to flash it back or you need to enter factory reset wipe all, warning you might loss the data

can you try entering safe mode? If it couldn't

I think you need to flash the ROM again, because you are entering Build Prop, that could the factory reset not usefull
[Android General] dsilva92:
Thank you for the help. I solve the problem by doing a factory reset :) I didn't know how to enter in the recovery mode. I started to press all the buttons and I did! I think I did power button + down then up. And it entered the recovery mode, then "wipe and factory reset". Yes I lost the apps and all the things I had before but that's better then send it to the warranty.

Thanks again :D
[Android General] maxilimian:
Don't type thanks, just click it :D

Should be not loss, if you have a backup for the data at least you only just need to re-install the apps that loss while wiping :)
[Android General] redman8x8:
Can you please share how you took the phone apart? I am ready to dismantle this thing cause i got this problem even on my second kingzone..and i really, really, don't want to wait another 2 months for another useless RMA. :(
[Android General] Salty Wagyu:
Anyone able to share the square block Kingzone wallpapers, so far I've seen a purple, green/brown, and blue/black one. They look like this:

Thanks :)
[Android General] vylong:
go to wallpaper setting/live wallpapers/select Cubescape 3D click on settings now you can select square what ever color you want and save it :)
[Android General] Kurrie:
I am having the axact same problems. Gps does not work stable.

I tried everything. Maybe something wrong with the antenna. Did you find a solution yet?
[Android General] d30DK:
Does anyone received a small update in the past few days? About 2.18MB "bug fix".

I tried to install it but in CWM recovery I receive an error and the installation aborted.

Thanks.
[Android General] vylong:
the new updated is Official ROM Version: 0502L009_20140815 I update via TWRP manually still Android 4.2.2 new Official update 4.4 will be ready in Sept 2014.
[Android General] d30DK:
How Can I update it manually? Where can I get the file itself and access to TWRP? Maybe because I have CWM recovery?

Thanks.
[Android General] vylong:
I just pm you

[Android General] dupajapona:
Could you pm me with the same info?
[Android General] maxilimian:
My official update ROM version is 0502L009_20140521 ?? I'm updating it via OTA, there is no any update since then ... do you mean they will launch the new updates officially via OTA on Sept 2014? or is it from needrom? :)
[Android General] JRapsky:
Hi,

could you please explain in public how to update manualy with TWRP/CWM. This would be interesting for many users.

thank you and best regards

Joern
[Android General] d30DK:
The update is here:

http://www.needrom.com/download/kingzone-k1t-official/

But I think it will delete the entire device (you need to wipe & reset it), so I won't going to install it.

Too bad there isn't a way just to install the update.
[Android General] vylong:
you need to install TWRP Recovery to your phone first in TWRP there is option for you to backup just incase something happen I used K1T_0502L009_20140815_TWRP

*Remember your pone must be rooted to do this there is some program for root your phone I used Root Genius to root my phone.

once you rooted your phone you can check just to make sure it root or not by download Root Checker from Google play store just to confirm

I will send you Root Genius link via pm

yes, from needrom
[Android General] JRapsky:
I am very sorry, but I can not watch the youtube video, because of my GSM internet connection. Is there a easy way to install the update on my rooted device with my TWRP?

thanks
[Android General] vylong:
did you already installed TWRP Recovery on your phone?
[Android General] JRapsky:
yes, I have
[Android General] vylong:
first download file K1T_0502L009_20140815_TWRP.zip into your sdcard on your phone

I assume you know how to get in to TWRP recovery mode by press volume up and power and follow the text on the phone screen as I realized the text are too small its hard to read,,,

in Teamwin you will see an option like back up so on you can back up first for the install just click install tab and browse to the file K1T_0502L009_20140815_TWRP.zip then follow screen

In my case I did not do backup I just install the file
[Android General] JRapsky:
No, we missunderstood. My internet connection is to slow for youtube, so a needrom download with 400MB or more would need decades.

I have the ota file from kingzone and I look for a solution to install ths update with TWRP.

If itbis absolutly impossible, I would flash back original recovery and if needed the original boot image. But this would not be my prefered solution.
[Android General] vylong:
well' how do you get ota file from kingzone? ota only install to your phone directly as update file.

its hard when you can not get file since you GSM issue not sure what else to help

why not wait till sometime next month the new 4.4 from kingzone to release

sorry

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

If you can download also you can install factory4.3.9 with spflash tool here link http://www.needrom.com/download/aro...android-l-developer/comment-page-23/#comments
[Android General] maxilimian:
I'm not sure in needrom, is it really officially from Kingzone or not, because there is no any news on their websites, i think in needrom it's a dev custom ROM from original ROM, to make sure if there is any updates from him, so the dev will upload it when Kitkat is available via OTA from dev, because he also have a doubt if the Kitkat could be release via OTA officially, so he make the custom ROM to make it sure it could be update via OTA, based on his experience from another phone which receive Kitkat from manual install only, even it is official
[Android General] vylong:
they got an email form kingzone directly if any update. you are correct needrom not an official kingzone but they did get official rom from kingzone.
[Android General] maxilimian:
Yesterday i asked Kingzone Vietnam, they said they will be an official updates for Kingzone K1, around September early October, and will be updated via OTA, this is a good news ^^

[Android General] vinpilu:
Hello, any update from the K1 owners? Are you satisfied with the device?
[Android General] KaiserKohl:
I've been very disappointed with the device. Not so much on the hardware side. The hardware and build quality is fine. Haven't had any problems with call qualityor with battery life except when the gps is on. It absolutely chomps thru the power with the gps running!

My MAJOR problem has been with the falsely advertised operating system. It is 4.2.2 and not 4.3 as claimed, but worse than that the OS is a locked down p.o.s fork called Aliyun (or Yun) OS. NOT even real Android! This combined with Mediatek abusing the Android GPL for their own gain, this is a very difficult device to do much with. I've had it 3 months and that time has been devoted to tedious digging and researching to get root. Finding a more open rom, gain xposed and gravity box, editing build.prop, manualy installing apk's and indivdual icons... Just to get it operating close to a decent KK/L UI.

For those that have already bought it, I rooted with Vroot and flashed Nik Rom from Needrom to make the phone worth keeping.

For those who haven't... Don't.

Before screenshots attached.
[Android General] KaiserKohl:
And After... I was going to post screenshots of my homescreens etc but the file sizes appear too big. Just a system screenshot instead.
[Android General] yannahzinha:
I bought mine recently and I'm very very happy with it. My only disappointment is the camera. In low light the picture is very artificial, as if drawn with brush strokes. I saw that this can be solved with updates but not sure. And I saw examples of photos and all seemed to superior quality. Anyone had this problem and managed to solve? I also had one ZP100 here and photos seems "better" (low light) on its 5mpx camera. Strange.

Other than that, I really liked the device. I had problems with the gps but managed to fix it by installing the updated official rom I found on needrom.com. It's a beautiful device, great design and feels comfortable on hands, unlike my Galaxy Note 1. It fits perfectly on my hand and I can text very well with just one.

By the way has anyone tested the rom based on Kitkat?

http://www.needrom.com/download/aroma-installer-k1-turbo-android-4-4-2-p8-android-l-developer/

Thanks in advance :good:
[Android General] maxilimian:
Strange, mine is 4.3.9 Jelly Bean, it's the default, i never did change any rom, got 3 update ROM via OTA, root it successfully simple with Vroot without any problem, but i know the gravity box and xposed frame will not work on this device, since xposed could make problem with the ROM, before i use Huawei Honor, installed xposed and gravity, it seems work fine, and after a week, there's a problem occur, got bootloop, so i think i would not install it on this device also.

So far satisfiy me, unless the crack on the top left corner close to charging slot, and a white pixel, but when the device start, it's dissapear ...

On needrom it is NOT KITKAT, it was a Jelly Bean, but prepare for the Kitkat, so don't get wrong install it, it's better with original ROM, the camera in less light will make some noise, you need to activate the aparture from menu, auto scene detection activated, it will make more brighter, i compare it with my Huawei Honor which look more better than the Kingzone on the Honor device, but when i transfer it to Kingzone, and i zoom in, the photo quality of Honor is not so good than the Kingzone camera, so to test the result of the camera, you have to compare it on computer, not on the device itself
[Android General] yannahzinha:
Sorry for the noob question but could you explain how can I activate aperture and auto scene? Just to make sure I did it correctly?

And one more question...some roms on needrom.com cames with xposed pre installed like this one I'm using (official I guess). Isn't incompatible with the OS ??

Thank you!
[Android General] maxilimian:
Sorry miss communicate, i mean, you can use the aperture technology by activating the auto scene on the camera setting, which enable the night mode function when taking photo on less light

Some roms in needrom is a custom rom that cames with the exposed pre installed, shouldn't be a problem, but when the kitkat updates available, i'm not sure if it still compatible with the new Kitkat update ROM, but i think i'm sure it will not compatible with the official kitkat update rom
[Android General] yannahzinha:
Thank you very much! I will test xposed on my device later...

But what you think about this device? You're happy with the phone or became a little disappointed? Knowing the device you would choose another model instead Kingzone if you had the chance?

Even with some 'lies" and this problem about the OS...I think I'm happy at all. Still have some problems...like my 3G signal...but I believe Kingzone will be able to produce better and more reliable devices in the future. In general it's a good device and better than my G note I.
[Android General] maxilimian:
Overall, Kingzone has good device, but there's still a little miss QC, but so far works ok, if i had a chance i'm considering take Xiaomi MI 4 or Meizu MX4 with more larger battery capacity :D , but i already have this, so far i'm pretty happy with it, i'm also hope Kingzone will release their Kitkat OS on early October, i got 31.245 scores Antutu benchmark with this device, really good for MTK, my Signal is H+ sometimes 3G and H, never disconnected, but i think it depends on your network provider satellites not the device, maybe you can setting the device in 3G only don't choose 2G/3G
[Android General] vinpilu:
Thank you guys for the update!

Probably I have a chance to get one, so I can check all your concerns on my own experience.
[Android General] yannahzinha:
Well...here in Brazil 3g service is simply terrible. But in comparision my Galaxy Note 1 get 3g signal and work at least...my K1, no. But maybe with some config I can solve this.

Now I'm currently experimenting some a new (but little) concern . Sometimes the screen on my k1 flashes discreetly ... I don't know how to describe it well...as the energy to keep the screen wasn't enough . Happens sometimes and it's almost imperceptible . Should I worry?
[Android General] Tyhn:
For 10 days I am the owner of K1. I decided to buy it after a fairly positive information from message boards and tests. Unfortunately, the phone does not fully satisfy my expectations. The more that description located on the manufacturer's website is not entirely consistent with the facts.

Dimension:

Phone thickness is much greater than in the specification - is 7.7 instead of 6.8 mm. The frame is also wider - it's 2.5mm.

Screen:

I doubt also whether the screen is Gorilla Glass. Gorilla Glass has an coating, which fairly well protected against fingerprints and oil pollution. Meanwhile, I see that the lack of such coating on the glass K1 (I compared with another phone having Gorilla Glass). In addition to the screen at a certain viewing angle is shown one large and two smaller stain.

Camera:

The pictures are awful. Using the camera is only possible in a sunny day. Even in fairly brightly lit indoor pictures are blurry, little details, especially outside the center of the photo. For each photo is visible firmly processing. The camera is the biggest disappointment.

Sound:

When I first put on the headphones, I heard a terrible sound. After the changes in EQ sound, can hear this, but the quality is very poor compared to other smartphones.

Maybe I expect too much from a smartphone for less than $ 290. However, this is my fourth Chinese smartphone and really was hoping on a better quality product and comply with a specification on the manufacturer's website.

I sent two emails to the manufacturer, informing about my doubts and inconsistencies, however none of them have not received any response. It is also disappointing.

I'm not entirely unhappy with your smartphone, but such a large number of inconsistencies and no response from the manufacturer, makes me feel disgusted. Yes, I know what some will say - a Chinese smartphone and you should get used to it. However, this phone is probably too big disappointment for me.
