Data Dropouts

I have weak 4g signals in my house so my phone is mostly using hspa+. My download speed is still really good, normally between 10 -15 mbps. However at random times my data connection seems to get stuck and the internet freezes for between 10 and 30 seconds before working normally again. My signal is still between 4 and 5 bars when it happens and the h+ icon shows only the upload arrow the whole time. My network is 3 UK and my sim works fine in my other phone. I have tried almost all official nubia roms as well as mokee. It's starting to really annoy me, has anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if I may have a faulty device.

asa the phone sleeps the bluetooth tethering drops. After some search i found this same problem related by nexus users. Im trying bluetooth keepalive to prevent the connection dropout. will report back if it solves or fail.

**YouTube connection to server lost fix **

After having this issue with two z7 devices And finding no solution I finally found a fix.

By wiping youtube and installing previous version youtube 5.0. 21 (I'm a new user and can't post outside links, just Google it)

This version works for me, there may be a few newer version that will work. But this one suits me just fine.

Enjoy..

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] :
Hello everyone!

Is it possible to roll back or to change the partitioning after repartition ?

I have resized memory to 12 and 4 Gb (using CWM recovery, ROM was multi-lingual from Chinese seller)

Finally I do not like this change, because now the largest part of the applications is placed on a smaller disk

And now unable to repartition, I want 8 / 8 Gb (ROM now is stock 1.42, CWM recovery)

The whole process takes place, but in the end, the partition does not change.

May be such that the system disk cannot be reduced, but only increased?

What can I do in this situation?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Leo_83:
Just do the partition again
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] :
I tried to do it few times again, but :
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Leo_83:
Strange, I had no problem doing the partition several times.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] :
Maybe the reason is in stock ROM 1.42 ? Or something is wrong with root rights or CWM ?

Because when the ROM was multi-lingual from chinese seller, partition proceeded normally.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Leo_83:
Perhaps, you should try to run the partition again, maybe with an other rom like you say. I belive I was on Mokee when I did it.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Zaparl:
Hi!

Newbie here. Got my z7 mini yesterday. Already updated to 1.62 via TWRP and rooted.

I have in mind repartitioning to increase system and allow more space for apps. I have read a lot of the posts here regarding this subject and so I would like to thank [MENTION=4148238]yiphoming[/MENTION], [MENTION=6078615]pedrud[/MENTION] and specially [MENTION=4771907]Leo_83[/MENTION] who has suffered a lot (believe me I suffered with you while reading :) )

Thing is that I'm really scared of this. I don't know if taking the step. I want to be very very very very sure for not making the same mistakes. So, summaryzing what I would have to do is (correct me if im wrong, please)

Change TWRP by CWM

Run program, option 1 (several times until when?)

Go to CWM. Format SD0

Run program, option 3 (several times until when?)

Run wifi and BT fix (several times)

Run wifi and BT restore (several times)

The problem here is that all the interesting stuff about this topic is difficult to find. Maybe an specific post with a step by step instructions would be helpful.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] voetbalremco:
Its quite easy actually, I didnt even had to apply wifi or bluetooth fixes. Just hit 1, select the preferred size and let it do its thing.

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pedrud:
I did it with CWM and had mokee and think most people here have recommended using CWM. Like [MENTION=4423611]voetbalremco[/MENTION] said, it really is pretty easy. The thing is, you don't know the partition doesn't work until you reboot the phone. The first couple of times I tried running it I got an error directly from the bat file, so I knew it hadn't worked. If you get the error, do not wipe your phone; just quit the program and start again. The likelihood that you will brick the phone is relatively minimal. [MENTION=4771907]Leo_83[/MENTION] has posted everything you would need to fix it. If I remember correctly, his issues came because he tried to do so without an external sd card. While in theory, it should have worked, he can certainly attest to the fact it didn't. I think that if someone wanted to, they could rewrite the bat file to do so without needing the sd card, but no one has done that. I think it would need to use adb to pull the necessary files to the pc instead of push them to the sd card and then push from the pc back to the phone. Just follow the instructions and you should be fine. If you by chance have any issues, there's enough collective brain power and experience here to help you get it fixed.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] chalimoja:
I have two Z7 Mini's and have done the partition once on 1 phone and twice on another without any issues.

Yes you do need CMW. TWRP simply won't work with it.

Once you run the bat file the phone should reboot into CMW and start the process automatically. It can take some minutes so be patient and don't interrupt it.

Once its done I didn't the "Triple Wipe (Data,Cache and Dalvik)" and also formatted Sd0 then rebooted. Never ran into any issues.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Zaparl:
There's something I don't understand... you do format Sd0 so it is empty. If you reboot... what does it load?

Excuse me for so many questions. I'm a bit scaried after reading Leon's history.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Leo_83:
SDcard0 is the local "sd-card" = internal storage, not the same as external sd-card also called SDcard1 = physical SD card that is in the SD slot. DO NOT FORMAT SDcard1, it is where the backup is saved when doing the partition.

You should have 3 + 1 memory spaces:

1. Memory for ROM, used for running the system.

2. Memory for apps, Internal memory.

3. Memory for data, used to save music, movies etc.

1+2+3 = 16 Gb

4. External Sd-card

4 = Size of SD card in Gb
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Zaparl:
Ahh... I thought that sd0 included the system and apps memory. Now I understand better what the script does. It just makes larger the partition for apps taking room from sd0. Is that right?

So... two more questions. I press script option 1. It does its job. It says me to make the three wipes. I format sd0 and I restart... Do I need to re-run the script with option 3 to restore data or if everything is right I will find the phone OK with no need of further steps?

And last one... Is it possible for the apps partition to take all free space from sd0? I have an external SD of 32 gigs and I would like to have as many internal memory available as possible for apps and the sd card for the data.

Thank you so so much for your answers
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] voetbalremco:
Ypu need to make a manual backup before using the tool, as it will wipe the sd0 partitiin and repartition. Anything on that will be lost so you might want to backup that...
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Zaparl:
Understood. Since I got the phone two days ago only, maybe I'd do a clean reinstall so the backup thing shouldn't be a must for me. I'll do it anyway given the problems read here.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Leo_83:
Choose the option with backup anyway and make sure you have an external sd-card or you might have problem like I did
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Zaparl:

MiBand connection

Hello guys,

I am looking for advise. I am owner of MiBand from Xiaomi. And I need to allow service called BleNotificationService which is service from tweaked app. On some phones are possible to allow this option in menu-settings-notifications and then check the option for this service.

Problem is, that nubia does not have this option anywhere. Sure, I can go to display-notification panel and choose MiBand app. But this is not what I am looking for. I need to allow Blenotificationservice so I could recieve notifications of missed events to MiBand (by vibration and led).

Do you have any suggestions how to do it?

Thank you for any ideas!

MiBand Notification solved

I finally found a way how to enable a notification to MiBand via tweaked app (you can find it here: http://en.miui.com/thread-53761-1-1.html). Just dowload app called NotifierPro from Google Play (does not matter if free or premium version). Install it and enable BleNotificationService. After that you can uninstall NotifierPro, because it BleNotificationService will be still enabled.

Hope that helps if someone has same problem as I had. Cheers!

Edit: you need to keep app after all, because when you restart the phone it will reset settings. So each time you need to go to NotifierPro and check BleNotificationService

Boot blocked permanently on Nubia logo

Hello,

I have a big problem with my mini nubia z7 . It is blocked on the Nubia logo when i tryed a boot in recovery mode . Nothing happens and still hours blocked on logo.

Anyone knows how to force it to boot ?

I tried all the boot possibilities : power + volume+, power + vol -, power over 12s ... I also tried to restart it by my PC

I can not remove the CWM recovery ( I suspect the cause of my problem)

I have access to my phone storage when connected to my PC by press powe and both volume + and volume - . I can copy things in the internal storage, but it does not help me .

The problem occurred after a reboot after installing CWM recovery . I waited more than 15 minutes after the start but nothing happens . I tried in a normal restart and that's what I see as my frozen on the Nubia logo.

I tried lot of tutorials last three days but no allowed me to solve this problem.

I'm still have rom 1.20. I bought the phone in Hong konng Wall Vast , multilingual and Google apps already installed. nothing was pushing me to update until the moment I read the comments on the quality of the photos that could be better with 1.62. I wanted to update to 1.62 cuoco .

Thank you for your help

Boot freezing with logo

Hi, I had the same issue when I changed to the Cuoco rom. Do not ask me why (i am a dummy), but I incidentally forgot to charge the phone when left the whole night on with the frosen logo and the battery drained. I checked on the phone without knowing that the battery was drained and it was a nightmare to realise that the phone was a brick. I thought I bricked the phone. It took me 1 hour after googling for answers on what to do with a bricked phone to realize the battery issue. I started to charge and then I could restart the phone, switched to recovery and restarted the installation of the rom wiith no problem. So maybe your solution is to discharge the battery with the logo on screen. Probably you and I have srewed up something during flashing the rom.

I changed to Cuoco because I had a frequent disconnect (not short time drop) of the data sim, when the complete signal was gone until reboot. Now it happened once in a one week time.

Best Regards from Hungary!

Hi dodala,

Thank you for your answer.

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Zaparl:
Had similar problem when installing TWRP but I was aware of that before I did the upgrade. When the installation finished and it auto-booted it freezed in the nubia logo. Somehow you have to boot in recovery mode to finish the installation. I see you tried this for 12s. Maybe it is not enough time. I normally press volume up first then I add the power press and keep them both pressed until I see the recovery logo no matter how much time.

Hope it works.

This is what i did. Press vol up and power till the logo apears.

for me the install of the recovery CWM is never finished... the freeze hapened during this installation.
