General questions

I'l ask some various questions bout this phone:

1. A good rom for it? I'm looking for one that makes my battery live longer , must be compatible with Xposed , and be quite simple and fast. Is is it better one from needrom or shall I stick with the stock one and modify it myself?

2.Phone seems to overheat a lot? I don't remember if it did it upon buying , cause I changed it's rom like 2 hours after but now seems to be very hot, let's say over 60C . (and why the battery temp sticks to 25C? but cpu temperature is shown in apps?)

3.GPS is activanting itself after exiting airplane mode? I don't use gps for any reason. Don't like it.

4.A good app for the led notification?

5.Are there any other covers on the internet apart the leather qi one?Maybe some tempered glass too?

6.Can I improve camera in any way? I like things to be perfect and I'm 100% sure that this camera isn't using all it's 14mp.

7.Are we going to get kitkat,is it allready avaliable? Any chanse for cyanogen?

8.After every flash I lose IMEI and Nvram error , is it because the flashed rom or because i'm doing it wrong?

9.A good TWRP recovery to set?

10. NFC seems not to work , how to test and how to repair?

11. Is there any custom kernel to flash? Some usefull tweaks?

If anyone can answer me for any of the questions above I'd be very glad :) , thank you for your patience :D

Hello.i received my kingzone k1 turbo 2gb ram.i tested camera and i m so disapointed.my friend have same but so much better camera.my come with 3200 mh batery.can somebody tell me how to fix camera or maybe my phone is bot original

I don't think they will waste time updating the k1 when they want to launch the Z1 in 2015 feb. Just a thought.

Or...if they send any update I don't expect something big like Kitkat.

Good news, Kingzone is definetly working on a 4.4.2 Update!

In a German Forum, an Admin (he is also a major reseller of Kingzone phones in Germany) has good relation with Kingzone and they gave him a 4.4.2 Beta.

Picture with prove:

h-t-t-p-://decuro.de/forum/index.php/Thread/469-Android-4-4-Kitkat-f%C3%BCr-das-Kingzone-K1/?postID=8681#post8681

(Sorry Guys, I'm not yet allow to post Links, you need to remove the - at the begining.)

No, the 4.4.2 Beta won't be released by the Admin. Please do not Spam and ask for the Update! We have to wait until Kingzone releases it! Can't be long anymore ;)

A brief Translation of Problems discussed in the German Forum: Apparently there are new Batteries with 3200mAh and a Charge limit Voltage of 4.35V instead of the 4.2V of the 2500mAh version. (well apparently there are also some 3200mAh versions with 4.2V, but we're awaiting confirmation by Kingzone that they are also original and not fake). Now the problem: the 4.4.2 Beta charges the Battery up to 4.35V, so it's not compatible with the 4.2V batterys for now! (It'll seroiusly damage them by overchargin them) That's also the reason why the Beta doesn't get released by the Admin and Kingzone yet.

Don't worry, when the update finally will be released, it will work with all Batteries!

Once again, please do not ask in the other Forum about the update!

I'll come back to some other earlier answers in this thread (about development ;) ) later, sorry I'm very busy already for the last few days.

cheeers from snowy Switzerland

P.S: How can Android find out the charge limit voltage of the battery? It can't can it? Doesn't this have to be specified when building the OS? If so, where can I read out this value? I found /sys/class/power_supply/ac/device/Charger_TopOff_Value but that's not it, or? Can anybody please enlight me about this issue? Thanks!

I have a K1 too since august, I have experienced issues with GPS too (position going crazy when signal is low). But I don't know for the camera and speaker quality...

For the camera I upload with this post three pictures I took with the phone (two in good light condition, one in dark light), personally I find the quality pretty good.

About the battery I have just ordered the new one last week, I will keep you informed about the difference with the old one (which was not powerful enough).
[Android General] wolfson61:
İn the thirth photo, at the end of the rocks to the sea, you can see the blur, especially when you zoom in.

You can see it in the photos i upload.

Besides, in the spesifications at http://www.kingzone.cc/products_cs.aspx?Id=23 it says “Video; 1080p@60fps,*720p@120fps,*HDR,*video*stabilization,*dual-video*rec.,*check*quality" but there is no setting to change video resolution or fps... And no setting to change recording format.... Etc....
[Android General] G-GFFD:
The Camera Sensor (it's a Sony Exmor RS IMX135) supports 60fps at HD, unfortunately our SoC MT6592 can only handle 30 fps when encoding. So 30 fps is the limit at 1080p.

-> see specs: http://thedroidguy.com/2013/10/medi...6588-specifications-leaked-ahead-launch-76644

Try to use other Camera apps! The Lenovo Super Camera works good, its avaiable here on XDA: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2665714

An alternative is "Camera Zoom Fx", you can find it in the Play Store (Only a limited Trial Version is free). My pictures improved significantly.

The Camera App & Library's added by the vendor (and the lenses ontop of the camera) can make a big difference. The Samsung Galaxy S4 has the same Sony Exmor RS IMX135, but the pictures turn out much better. Unfortunately we can't just copy the camera app from an s4 to our devices, the important librarys are embeded in the s4's Android System.

Maybe you can try these apps and see if the picture quality improves?

cheers
[Android General] eben80:
Thanks for your tips. I've installed the lenovo 3.7 camera like you suggested. Wow, what an improvement. Even low light mode works 100x better than stock camera.
[Android General] erdosb:
Thank you G-GFFD! It really is much better!
[Android General] yannahzinha:
Look...I used Camera Zoom (premium) for some time and it's really good indeed. But I found another one that seemed better.

Anyone here knows Camera FV-5 and Cinema FV-5?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.lite

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.cinema.lite

I use the premium version of both and liked soo much...even more then Lenovo app or Camera zoom fx.
[Android General] eben80:
Thanks I'll give it a go.

I have another issue. Thermal shutdowns when playing games.

This definitely shouldn't happen...

The CPU reaches up to 100C and the phone shuts down... Had anyone had this?

[Android General] G-GFFD:
No idea, sorry. Unfortunately I wasn't able to root it with the MTK Droid Tools. Will keep trying.

So finally the working instructions in englisch:

-> Master Thread in German: http://decuro.de/forum/index.php/Thread/469-Android-4-4-Kitkat-für-das-Kingzone-K1/?pageNo=1

-> get rom from mykingzone.de, just under "akutelle news"

A. Flashing KitKat:

Caution: This delets all files. If you don't know what a "soft-brick" means you probably should think twice if you want to proceed, there's always a risk something bad happens

If you already have the preloader drivers installed, otherwise see below!

1. Start Flashtool.exe with admin rights in the subfolder Flash-Tool

2. Normally MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin is already loaded in the Download Agent, otherwise select this file (it's in SP_Flash_Tool_ v5.1352.01)

3. Unzip the .zip in the ROM folder, then in the FlashToll load the Scattering File MT6592_Android_scatter.txt

4. Select "Firmware Upgrade in the Drop down Menue"

5. Click Download

6. Connect the phone without battery

7. after > 10s plug in the battery

8. Now it should be flashing

9. You have successfully installed KitKat when the green Tick appears. Congratulations!

Now to the driver issue:

1. install USBdeview, delete all Mediatek drivers (and other smartphones&android drivers which could interfere)

2. open the device manager

3. Download and extract these drivers: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1x1BQ2sB-9iR1VlcDk0TnJ0VEk/edit?pli=1

4. when the preloader appears in the device manager (connect the phone without battery). Right click -> update driver. Select manual, navigate to the folder with the driver, then to the folder with your os version. Continue, this should install the driver.

5. Now you have to see the Mediatek Preloader USB Vcom in the device manager, otherwise it doesn't work!

-> see screenshot how it has to look like!

2. Recovering the IMEI (mine didn't get changed!)

1. Note your IMEI-Numbers (you'll find them when you remove the battery)

2. Open the engineer mode, open phone and typ: * # * # 3646633 # * # *

3. Swipe to "connectivity"

4. Select "CDS Informations

5. Now select "Radio Information"

6. Now you see Phone1 and Phone2 for both Sim slots

7. Select the first SIM Slot

8. You see AT+, delete this

9. Enter AT +EGMR=1,7"IMEI-Number SIM-Slot1" <- the " are important and also don't forget the space before the +

10. Click Send a Command.

11. repeat for second sim

12. reboot phone

I haven't recovered my imei yet, so I don't know if it works.
[Android General] xekmate:
After some hours with the new rom, tell me about your opinion with Android Kitkat.. Thanks

[Android General] G-GFFD:
I've just tested kitkat for a short time yesterday evening and then I went back to my 4.2 Backup.

The reason is I currently don't have time to setup&customize my phone, today I needed it again for my daily use. I'll change over to kitkat completely as soon as i've got time (looks like february ;( )

4.4 works great (at least for me, some people report problems, but some people also had trouble under 4.2)

Making a factory reset after flashing helped to resolve some problems.

I don't quiet understand why I didn't loose my IMEI and yes - I definitley had kitkat running! (API Level 19 checked)

About the gps/gps.conf stuff (I know wrong community ;) ) I'll investigate that this evening.
[Android General] techtalkonline:
Is there a GPS problem? With 4.4.2 I mean?
[Android General] G-GFFD:
No, just a missunderstanding problem. It was just for a member who reads this thread ;) It's sorted out now.

Actually most people report the gps has improved! So far all "problems" were easily sorted out! (well apport from the new lock, which isn't my taste!)

There won't be an OTA update unfortunately (according to Kingzone it's not possible) so you have to flash it.

kitkat 4.4 rom

Hi I posted it on needrom

http://www.needrom.com/download/k1-turbo-4-4-update/

It took me 5 minutes to do the flash and all went smooth apart from having to point to the usb driver.

Before with 4.3.9 and after update with dalvik and then ART . I noticed after a few reboots the phone is quicker with ART
[Android General] Jammed_Death:
so, still no way to

not

lose everything?

Problem with K1

It is an excellent phone but sadly after 1 week can no longer use it. Wonder if anyone can help? I think I changed a setting somewhere, maybe while in engineering mode? and now the microphone no longer works. All functions OK except cannot record sound or transmit voice. This is K1 Turbo. 2GB RAM, etc.

Hello,...i have updated my k1 to kit kat and it works great,..much better than when i had jelly bean on it,..everything works great,...i have not experienced any bug on my k1 after the update,...more importantly battery life improved considerably.

However,..i noticed something unusual,...cant change my IMEI number with mobile uncle,..tried several times,.....followed instructions carefully on variuos websites,..."left space between AT +,...used the Quotes,.......it tells me "AT command is mSent",...yet after i rebooth my k1,...my IMEI number does not change,.......dont get me wrong,...i dont have any problem with my IMEI number after the update to kk.....i just need to change my IMEI to acheive some network data tweeks.

Any other suggetsions on how to change IMEI number on k1 that has been updated to KIT KAT.

will appreciate a little help...thanks a lot

How did you all backup your device?

I don't have a recovery, not an open one at least.; Only the one that came with the device.

Thanks!
[Android General] Jammed_Death:
i made a backup in the wrong place and deleted everything :p

root tool?
[Android General] kev7338:
Just installed the ROM.

Wow the phone is quiet smooth :)

No difference with Antutu (29k as usual).

Am I the only one who do not find the smart cover configuration menu any more (to change smart cover wallpaper) ?

Use a standard Flashtool procedure to flash (use Upgrade mode instead of download mode). Flashtool key for this phone : poweroff the phone, press volume - and plug usb. Nothing will appear on device but you will here the bell from your computer because the device is detected.
[Android General] anthonytj:
Hurray!!!....changed my IMEI successfully,......after many trials ...i added space between the AT + and pressed "SEND A COMMAND" continously for about 20 times........ (press "send a command" in quick succession for about 20 times until the "AT command is mSent" appears and does not dissappear until you rebooth your k1),.....after your phone rebooths,..dial *#06# to check your IMEI number

I used MOBILE UNCLE

My Phone still works pefect (better) with no bugs at all
[Android General] Jammed_Death:
can't put art runtime...i choose it from the options, reboot and then i'm still in dalvik

If you have xposed or gravitybox then you need to disable them first as they will stop ART working.

Yes !
[Android General] techtalkonline:
Hmmm, nope. I can't get the smart cover wallpapers to appear either. Somebody suggested a factory reset after installing KK but that didn't work for me! I always wanted to know where the smart cover wallpapers were stored so that I could add my own, but I never did find them on JB.

Got myself a nice little Kingzone K1 Turbo, but after useing it for 2 days I noticed a little bug

It takes almost 12h to charge the battery from 0 to 100 and it takes only 3-5 hours to drain it completely

Any ways to fix it. Running 4.4.2 KitKat (should be official according to needroms page)

Drain problem was before upgrade

Does the new rom delete the recovery and replace it with another recovery? That was I had with the 4.2 rom.
