Ciao Enzo, ti scrivo in italiano perchè non mastico molto bene l'inglese, volevo capire se fosse possibile risolvere i problemi di GPS fix del THL5000 installando una nuova ROM oppure ci fosse altro da fare.

A dire il vero non so nemmeno come si faccia per installare una nuova ROM ma sto cercando di capire anche questo in rete.

Qui ci sono già più di 180 pagine di forum e dopo averne tradotte una 50 con google non ho ancora trovato nulla che potesse aiutarmi o che fosse (per me) comprensibile.

Grazie dell'aiuto che potrai darmi

Resuming 184 Pages, you can get a faster lock on gps, but you can't solve problem on jumping gps
[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
TO nmm81: THL 5000 has no problem with fast GPS fix. I use Ultimate ROM or Classic ROM and GPS fix is normally within 10 seconds. The problem is bouncing GPS position. This can be 100% resolved simply by purchasing Bluetooth GPS module - I recommend Nokia LD-3W - use legendary precision chip Sirf Star III.

Alessandro, if you will not write in english, nobody will help you...

If you are not good in english, use google translator, see:

Hello Enzo, I write in Italian because not very good English, I wanted to understand if it was possible to solve the problems of the GPS fix THL5000 installing a new ROM or there was nothing else to do. Actually you do not even know how to install a new ROM, but I'm trying to understand this too in the network. Here there are already more than 180 pages of forum and after a 50-translated with google I have not found anything that could help me or it was (for me) to understand.

Thanks for the help that you can give me

Hello everyone, I wanted to know if there is a specific discussion where we talk about how to install the ROM THL5000 .

The other question was whether you had improvements of use GPS installing ROM different from the original.

The other problem was related to the root of the phone because I found several indications but no it was very clear , perhaps because of my preparation .

Thanks to those who can respond .

After 18hrs marathon searching whole internet for suitable phone... i gave up coz non of them last even similarly long as THL5k except Z3 compact, which i didn't like at all... so i started different search aproach "**** the size of the screen + extended battery capability". I bought a phone (i wouldn't call it that name but just to convince myself it is not that big i will :D) - Galaxy Note 4... 4-7 hours SoT, awesome performance of everything! + Stylus with 2048 lvls of preasure... except the size 153*78*8... and the best part extended battery of 10k mAh :)

So this is the last message to this thread so take it as a good bye and i wish you more luck then i had with your THL5k... or buy Note 4 except of Samsung DRM which wants you to sell everything even your soul for free :D it is awesome :D

I bought my thl5000 around 8 months ago from Imaging Dragon, an aliexpress shop that was promoted in this thread somewhere at the start. I was quite happy with it, despite it having one of the bad displays (1.6 gamma rating instead of 2.2) with quite washed out colors. But the battery was just ... fantastic (2 days of heavy use most of the time)

But a month ago the on/off button stopped working all of a sudden. Now my phone is just dead, no way to turn it on again.

I contacted the seller (imaging dragon), and he just referred my to the main company (THL). Any further replies from me got ignored.

Then i started mailing to all mailadresses that were on the thl home page. After three weeks (!) of mailing them (without an answer) i finally got a reply .... they referred me to another reseller who should be the seller of the phones to the one on AliExpress (complicated constructions ...)

Then i got someone from THL contacting me on facebook. Apparently they don't work directly with end users: their solution => contact the seller of the phone ... HA ... talking bought going round in circles ... as on today i still don't have a solution for my dead phone ...

For me, for now: no more expensive stuff anymore from china till the warranty stuff is sorted (if this is even possible) :(

I wonder if i would have the same problems on the major shops in china (pandawill, geekbuying, etc.) ...
[Device Reviews and Information] xaracz:
Yep same all around. I got my one from antelife spot light on screen and my power button working only sometimes, first is hard to contact with somebody after a while I've got instruction to send back to them, and I have filling if I do that I never see my phone again.

Some chinese companies are shooting themselves in the foot with this kind of attitude. They are the nasty salesman that deceits you only once because the client is not going to like it and is going away. I guess we get what we pay for. I know i'm going to be more careful with my chinese next phone. We bought these kind of phones out of eagerness and anxiety, but a lot of times we get disapointed..

On the GPS, i don't like having another device to do a job that the first should be doing. Anyway i bought a Conceptronic bluethooth GPS (model CBTGPS32) module! Guess which company makes the chip :)

So far, so good, it locks on at least 8-9 sattelites! Each sattelite has signal of 35+, some of them, high 40. Accuracy is about 2.3m - 2.4m. It uses a battery compatible with some nokia battery BL-5C or something like that. Cost me 10€, new. Uses bluetooth 2.0, works right with blueetooth gps from play store. Still i'm going to try doing the antenna mod one of these days. Have to find that very thin copper tough. Maybe network cables threads are that thin, have to find out.

The affordable dual-sim 4g smartphones are coming to europe. Take a look at the honor 4x for example. For 199 euro you can order this in europe since begin this week. Family member of mine bought it, and i was happy to configure it. Fantastic device the two days i had it. Only the battery can't be compared to this THL (but it was still ok). Rest was about the same. The price is even almost the same as in China. And more: you get it the following day, and you got a two year (real) warranty. So if they don't change their attitude they will lose the european customers very fast.
[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
Is better to buy Chinese mobile at home. You will get real 2 year warranty. In my country (Slovakia) many webshop sell Chinese mobiles. Prices are quite similar (slightly higher) as in China + VAT (in my country 20%).

Plus, if you have a company (or autonomous) VAT numer, you can buy the phone without VAT on some shops.

Hello my dear friends from around the globe.

I got a question,

Why this phone should have a better GPS then the THL 5000?
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
Recently launched but same chip as ours.
[Device Reviews and Information] nmm81:
Elephone p5000 is a downgrade of thl 5000 (is a 6592 @ 1.7 and thl is 2.0Ghz), still has no LTE/4G, the gps problem i'm 99,9999% sure is remains (not 1 review tried real gps, all the do is see how long kit takes to fix).

Now there is a 64bit processor fro mtk (MT6752) that they say gps is "better" but i don't know how "better" it is (for exemple: Elephone p3000s, Elephone p7000, Ulefone be touch (AKA Dare N1), Jiayu S3)

[Device Reviews and Information] rbt07:
Dimid didn't give me agreement to public VIBEUI ROM on Needrom.com. This is reason why I public it only on czech and slovak phorum. If you will have problems with installation write me private message. VIBEUI support only 4 languages: English, Russian, Ukrainian and Chinese.

If I will have time, will add English instructions on Czech-Slovak phorum.

Now you can use Google translator (from Slovak to English, not Czech - my posts are in Slovak language, Czech and Slovak languages are similar, but there is many differences), it works quite good:

MIUI is MIUI :) If you like it -> install it. There is no special benefit compared to Ultimate ROM. Ultimate has a better battery life.

Today I modified the latest MIUI from Friday, version 5.5.1 (miuipro_v4.4.2_THL_5000_5.5.1_1.zip ) - removed residual cyrilic from all languages and added better czech and slovak translations.

[Device Reviews and Information] maubarra:
I rooted via vRoot. Installed SuperSU (as I've always used it) and of course Titanium Backup did not work. But changing a configuration in SuperSU solved the problem. Titanium complains about something about namespace mount (I don't recall correctly) right after you start it. I went to SuperSU and changed a setting there. Is the third option in the Security section (not sure if varies for different versions), "Mount namespace separation", uncheck that option and restart the phone.

After that Titanium works correctly for both Backup and restore.

Hope it helps!
