Thanks a lot for your explanation.

I check the 3 pins ans the 3 contacts. There are ok. The connection seems to be ok too.

The phone worked well before.

Maybe a composant die
[Device Reviews and Information] frabert:
Sorry. ..
[Device Reviews and Information] nr1:
This phone clearly needs cyanogenmod 11. Does anyone know where to start?
[Device Reviews and Information] dzenk:
hi, does anybody know how to permanently change the background wallpaper for the lock screen? At my phone it changes to the original one after every reboot. For me it is too "lively"; I use the phone also for the business purposes...

GPS is great at my phone; wifi and 2G/3G reception are worse as by my Lenovo A820...
[Device Reviews and Information] nr1:
Same problem for me. As far as i read only possiblity is to install an alternative lock screen from the market.
[Device Reviews and Information] dzenk:
As a case I use Bugatti TwoWayCase for Samsung Ativ S. I've used it for my Lenovo A750 before but it also suits perfect to the KingSing S2. It's made of real leather and it looks very classy.

I had good luck last year and got it for about 8€ but at the moment it costs about double that price. Some other sleeve cases for Ativ would probably fit to the KingSing.
[Device Reviews and Information] cinemusic:
Same problem for me.

I uninstalled an app "AppPlay" and twiter app and after that i dont have lock screen and any other gestures from Quick Gesture entry menu.

Working only the double tap to wake.

I try with restore without success

Any solution?
[Device Reviews and Information] panart:
Reflash the rom with "SP Flash Tool" without wipe (you won't lose any data), that will fix it. Since i reflashed the rom i disabled "AppPlay" app (in settings/apps) and lock screen is working fine.
[Device Reviews and Information] dzenk:
Solved;

I changed the Lockscreen background while running stock launcher. Then I switched to Nova Launcher that runs a lot smoother as the stock one. Modified lockscreen background remains after reboot an after taking the battery out of the phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] phonepete:
at stock launcher tap to sleep/wake is working,

but at nova launcher only tap to wake ?
[Device Reviews and Information] bleeeeee:
I have installed Screen Off and Lock, as adilrenzu recommended

Then I have associated it with double tap in Nova (though Prime version is needed for double tap association).
[Device Reviews and Information] bleeeeee:
Somebody knows how to move apps to SD?

I can move folders with Folder Mount, but I have problems with folders selection, foreground and font color are black, so it's very hard to use it.

By the way, have you experienced similar behaviour in this or any other app?
[Device Reviews and Information] mplevris:
use link2sd-tutorial (google it)
[Device Reviews and Information] bleeeeee:
I've read about Link2SD, but if I'm not wrong I can get an extra 1,4GB with this method. So I'll get 7,4GB instead 6GB :(

I would like to have 6GB to install apps and move those that are larger to SD (The Sims, Plants vs Zombies 2...) as I used to do in other smartphones...

I would like to get rid of emulated external SD card and only have the real one, but I suppose that's not possible. A previous phone, a Jiayu G2, works that way, and it's great.
[Device Reviews and Information] mplevris:
I think you are wrong .in my 16 gb sd card i have made an ext3 partition of 9.9gb in order to use for apps
[Device Reviews and Information] 0martas0:
Hi, I have a few problem.

I bought this phone a few days ago and the first problem is the battery. Happened that the charging stopped at 80% and did not continue until the phone reboots but after phone reboot the battery shows only 60%. Or I charged the battery to 95% and after reboot it shows only 77%. That happened twice.

Another problem is, that the Antutu shows wrong information about phone. CPU identifier same, only Cpu-z and Quadrant show correct information.

CPU identifier:

CPU Type: MediaTek MT6582/MT8382 x4 1.3 Ghz

Kingsing S2 Kingsing S2 ( MT6582) (MT6582)

Qualcomm based device

GPU type: Adrenon(TM) 33 ( single core GPU )

Antutu:

Brand: Kingsing S2

Model: KingSing S2

CPU model: Quad-Core ARMv7 Processor (VFPv4,NEON)

Renderer: Adreno 330(TM)

Score in Antutu was 18688 points, but I don't know if it's correct or fake. I played Real Racing 3 and it was smooth.

Excuse my English, I am from Czech Republic.

Thanks.

Hi, how is it possible to open this without hurming the device? Isn't it quite compact for such exploration? So are you able to guide me through the procedure?

kingsing s2 problem

I ve done all this steps to installare the new rom s7yler and when I finish It seams that everything was right but the phone doesn't turn on completly It doesn't show the logo Android and i go to recovery mood and i have done reset user data and wipe cache and factory reset but It doesn't change anything please can someone help me ? Sorry my bad English but I am italian.
[Device Reviews and Information] MachineAxel:
anyone knows if a cyanogenmod or paranoid rom will be available for this device?
[Device Reviews and Information] dzenk:
Hi mcr7hd, I had a loopboot problem as I installed the s7yler rom and did the factory reset.

What I did: I reflashed the phone with the stock rom and reflashed it with the s7ylers one - this time without recovery. Then it all worked fine. Please don't reflash the preloader!

I have further questions:

If I pull the dropdown bar down the slide animation starts before the icons (wifi, gps...) come to their position. During the animation I cannot touch any of the icons which I find pretty anoying.

Is there a possibility to disable that animation?

- I can't change the SMS/Notification tone. I wasn't able to do it with my original rom but after reflash I could do it. Now it doesn't work again

- there is a new official rom at Needrom - ALPS.KK1.MP1.V2.10 – V021En20140827 – lcsh82_cwet_kk – KOT49H.

It should be about 2 weeks newer as the kernel the s7yler used. Any experience / known differences?
[Device Reviews and Information] ronmer:
stock rom

hi s7yler! do you have a stock rom for kingsing s2? able to flash thru splash tools? mine was boot looped, and i tried to flash your rooted rom but it wont work..Thanks in advance!

I have got the problem witg the GP,too. With GPS Test i have only got 5/5 satelites, sometimes 7/7 :mad:. With my Huawei i have got 12 satelites :D . What is the problem?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Unfortunately not. Maybe try one of the 2 others here http://www.needrom.com/?s=kingsing+s2&sa=search&scat=0
[Device Reviews and Information] mcr7hd:
kingsing s2

I have flashed the Kingsing rom and i don't know why sometimes the phone turn off by himself and turn on again. Can someone explain how can i fix this ?
[Device Reviews and Information] dzenk:
Frabert, you had some GPS issues after rom reflash.

I have the same problem. How did you solve it?
[Device Reviews and Information] NiTrOwow:
Is 3G and WiFi signal really that poor on this device??

I see some members replying it, so i am wondering if this is true or not.
[Device Reviews and Information] StardustOne:
The WiFi signal for the KingSing S2 is great, even better than with a Kingzone K1. The KingSing GPS is okay, not really great but it works okay.

Caution: in case you notice any issues, the phone I have received has a newer ROM dated from September 2014. The ROM I have is Version V24 and not V21 (V21 is the August version).

What annoyed me since I have the phone: The amount of ghost touches I get is amazing, sometimes when I hold the phone in my hand, it opens the Telephone app because my hand did do a ghost touch on the app icon at the lower left corner. You can also try this by simply hovering your finger above the phone and not touching the screen, suddenly you will notice ghost touches, the area at the left ist most likely very ghost touch enabled.

I have the original screen protector cover still on the Phone, in case you may not see ghost touches, you may have removed that screen protector.

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

Ah finally, someone who also has most likely also the September V24 ROM.

My phone came with this ROM and it also shows an Adreno 330 Renderer in Antutu what is of course is complete fake.

The phone you own, does it also show a 300.0 - 2456.6 MHz Quad Core 32 bit CPU in Antutu Benchmark 5.2? This is fake too, the processor is a Quad Core MTK6582 clocked at 1.3 GHz (check for CPU-Z, it will show the correct renderer and CPU). When you click on the Core Information in Antutu, you will notice that the CPUs never go higher than 1.3 GHz and the lowest frequency is 598 MHz and not 300. I don't understand why Kingsing did this fake, it is unnecessary and just childish to program values in a ROM that do not match with reality.

And while we are at Antutu device information checking, is your phone telling you that it has 16.71 GB of System storage? You guessed it, another fake, this is by the way not even possible. No phone with real 16 GB would ever report 16.7 GB. Another fake yes, the phone comes with 8GB and not 16 GB of Flash ROM.

And please also check the CPU, wow your phone has a MTK6295 CPU, great buy for that money. Another fake.

Okay, to sum the Antutu 5.2 Benchmark device information up:

CPU model: fake

CPU renderer: fake

System Storage: fake

I wonder what else is true or fake. Once again, Kingsing, faking a ROM is very childish and we are above that.

The Antuto score of over 18000 that is okay, I also get 18010 on mine. This is not a fake, this is what the MTK6582 1.3 GHz Quad Core with the Mali MP400 delivers.
[Device Reviews and Information] mplevris:
Where can we find this ROM?

Is it possible to flash this if we are with the old one?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
The reason for the false info is Antutu, Antutu can't read/see the correct hardware specs of this phone so it will just guess some. If you run "Hardware info" or "CPU ID" it will actually show the correct specs, at least it does on mine. So you can't blame KingSing for fake data, the problem is Antutu. I don't have any ghost touches on mine, sorry to say but your screen must be faulty.

Of 30 different china phones I have had, Antutu always show some incorrect hardware specifcations. The problem is not the phones but Antutu. That's why you should never use Antutu to show hardware specs. Its the same with for example the MPIE G7 (a rather new phone). Antutu shows that it has HD 1280x720 resolution, but that is not true, because the G7 only has a qHD screen. Again, the problem is Antutu. Always use "CPU ID" or "Hardware info" instead.
[Device Reviews and Information] phonepete:
Antutu 5.2 shows correct values for cpu like cpu-z or cpu identifier with ROM V021 August

ROM at kingsing.hk support site is the old V021 version, cannot find any V024
[Device Reviews and Information] NiTrOwow:
You should ask where s7yler got his device fro and e-mail this reseller and ask for the rom. Because it doesn't seem to appear on the internet. If they can give you the latest rom you can place it on needrom.com ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
But my backup of the ROM is this one here http://www.needrom.com/download/kingsing-s2/

I got mine from a seller called bob-seller on dhgate
[Device Reviews and Information] NiTrOwow:
Alright didn't see that one. Did not assume that it already was on there.

What buttons combination we need to push in order to go to recovery mode manually?

Anybody?
[Device Reviews and Information] nyco:
Finally repaired !

Hi every body.

I finally found the hardware problem on my phone.

Thanks to Frabert, i see a little component (capacitor) near the 3 gold connector on the right side of the antenna. After testing it, i saw a bad solder and my phone alive again !

Network work good again and i have 3G everywhere.

volume down + power :)
[Device Reviews and Information] mplevris:
That takes you to "factory mode" and not to "custom recovery"

[Device Reviews and Information] okjarrovac:

[Device Reviews and Information] angelfreak:
hello everybody

i try to pull up this pin , it sims they are on the diferent levels I dont know if this is normal, but network receptions is not improwe...

i think is becouse of the cheap parts they put in this phone, everything could be better but for more money offcours.... compare with my alcatel OT idol reception of wifi and network signal is 30% weaker.... I am in the main city ....

But ok, its work , not like some other people here....( maybe to try with aluminium tape or this signal imprower( like this -NEW-As-Seen-on-TV-Cell-Phone-Antenna-Signal-Reception-Booster-( I am not aloud to put links here becouse iam new here]) if this work...

I will think about that if I keep the phone, becouse battery is only day and a half and I dont used so much, alcatel more then 1 year old gives me 2 days always....

Couldn be becouse all the time phone seek for better signal all the time....

on led notification i spend 10 days and i can find apk that control this 3 color, they only blink once on the beginning when i dont need them ...

so i install Dynamic notifications and its good, super but I dont know how much battery drains

who wants to have control over this device( hiden software) like sheduled turn off and on should instal quick shortcut maker....

sorry for bed english
[Device Reviews and Information] nyco:
Hi, sorry for my later answer.

I'me confused, i've got the "problem" as you.

This combinaison told me the factory mode too.

I haven't find a combinaison for the recovery. I think there's none, like "a forced reboot".

Generally, it's "volume (-) + power" but nothing happen.
[Device Reviews and Information] nyco:
TWRP recovery (removed)

I don't know if i can post it here, but i've build a TWRP recovery.

If it's a problem, sorry for s7yler, i must delete it :)

Featured:

- Version 2.8.1

- It is in "the good" orientation on the screen. (not 180° flipped)

- Seem to everything work. (backup, restore, file manager, usb connecting, etc.)

Installation

- Rename the file to "recovery.img"

- Flash it with Flashtool :)

Edit : removed, because some bugs.

The new one will posted :)
[Device Reviews and Information] angelfreak:
hi, tnx for attention

yes i know that band is not 900 like in my country, but in the main city should be cover with 2100 and on the country side 900... so i think this will be good but on 3G I only have half signal strengt, so 1 or 2 of 4....

H signal never see at display... :(

No root for now, will see what to do with phone thill the new year, seel it or keep it..:confused:

in the last sentence i mean on secret possibilities, like planned turn off the phone every day on lets say 12.00 pm

and turn on in the morning at 7.00am

i see that possibilities in setings- aplications- then 3ird on the right ( i dont know now how its in your country writing- its list of all apk)

and down there is 116kb shedulled turn on and off- it is belove Pico TTS :)

this option is normaly on my alcatel idol in the main settings menu, but here is some kind of basic android, but the phone have option just maybe with good room....

sou, with this apk quick shourtcut maker i can make a shourtcut off some software that i can reach thru original room....
[Device Reviews and Information] nyco:
your icon is "g" or "3g" ?

If no root, some chinese drain the battery.

My S2 is during 2 days. (maybe 2.5 or 3 if i haven't got too much call / internet sharing) Depend the utilisation and the network quality.

Have you try "tasker" on the google play for the planned tasks?

I think the "only" possibilty on this phone is the "plane mode". It can't turn on if android not runnning
[Device Reviews and Information] angelfreak:
3G is icon

i will need to check again how to root, i think in the first few post is suggestion apk...

yes this phone can have shedduled turn on and off, just need this apk shourtcutmaker to enter this possibilities, and it seems luts of more, but i am not an expert and dont want to spoil something on the phone.....

just now i explore engineer setings, but there i cant do much becouse i dont understand it

i think there was some option to change this colorfull lock screen, someone is looking for that in the first few posts...

so this apk put shourtcut to desktop, and you can manage from there what you want, like in mine example, change the time in the morning to wake me up.... :)

---------- Post added at 10:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

to wake phone of course , and then lots of messages an reminders an other tones wake me

i think this is good, no need form me to stay phone on all the time, benefit is better battery live, fast phone becouse every morning start from the begining.... just aps i need
[Device Reviews and Information] nyco:
If 3G icon is here, it's not the same problem like me (i think)

To root, the easiest way is "kingoroot" (google it) Only 2 click on your PC and let's get it run

Actually, i try to make a MIUI Rom and i don't have the stock rom installed on the phone.

when i will be back to stock, i will explorer the shortcut/apk you say :)

D'ont play with the engineer mode, it's quite dangerous !
[Device Reviews and Information] angelfreak:
thank you, rooted with kingo.... or i think so :)

when i root first time htc desire there was this superuser icon in the menu, now nothing new on the phone :)

in engineer mode you can attached these networks band, on my phone there is clip on 5 bands, but of course on 900 you can not put clip(attached)...

maybe on your phone this 2100( even there say - wcdma-imt-2000 and wcdma-clr-850 and wcdma-800) is not attached( klip) or iam talking nonsense here :)

i played with aluminium tape, put it on the antenna and back cover, nothing improwe

anyone knows if this small antenna that you can buy works or?

when I removing aluminium tape , antenna also get up with tape, of course i put it back, but it looks like this one that you can buy on the internet

or maybe is a software problem like someone mentioned in the early posts
[Device Reviews and Information] angelfreak:
root successful at the second attempt...
[Device Reviews and Information] mplevris:
Worked for me too .

I used SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1344.0.212 to fash it

SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1408.00 did NOT work

The only "problem" is that you can use only internal memory and not the external sd card to make back up

Version V024 ??

Anyone knows where to find latest ROM V024 mentioned in few postings here ? Link would be greatly appreciated, thanks !

Also does anyone on V024 experiences connection problems (3G data etc)
[Device Reviews and Information] geniotre:
Hi! Please help me. I used flashtool and format all. For an error.

The phone did not switch on.

After with sp flash tool I flashed the s7yler rom.

I flashed with preloaded.

Now the phone switch on but it is blocked in the black screen with the word kingsing

It reboots continued.

Thanks in advance
[Device Reviews and Information] adilrenzu:
The reason this happened is because S7ylers rom is a update/backed rom of his phone which will not boot if you format the phone with SP Tools, S7ylers roms is for update only.

You will need to flash the full stock rom from factory, download the rom from here and flash it with SP Tools.

http://www.needrom.com/download/kingsing-s2-factory-rom/
[Device Reviews and Information] geniotre:
Thanks..I reflashed recovery file and now the phone works!

Another problem...Bluetooth.

Pairing a device with password or pin doesn't work.

For example blue&me car.

Bluetooth doesn't ask the pin or password and says "error of pin or password"

Anyone has the same problem?
[Device Reviews and Information] nyco:
I already check the engineer mode, but there is no hardware that supported the other frequencies in the motherboard

For the antenna, it's a very cheap antenna, and i think no mod can help the phone :/

I will see if there's a software "solution" to help the reception. Maybe a rom optimization ;)

Good :) You must remove some chinese apps now ("fake" antutu, play apps, etc.)

Ok, thanks for test. I will try to fix it after :)

My first priority is the MIUI porting actually :)

The 024 is the same rom :/ Only the date change (see on needarom cmments)

I haven't got connection error with my headset, but i can't play with my Gear.

Try restoring your phone correctly first. (reflashing the entire stock rom, root it, clear it yourself)
[Device Reviews and Information] adilrenzu:

camera work, but very poor quality and very dark

flashlight work 1 time but can't turn on again.

problem with internal storage ( tell me 6Mb only) (maybe wrong partition table?)

Does anybody find the solution to boot directly the recovery with a key combo ??
[Device Reviews and Information] frabert:

Thanks, i use the reboot option in mobile uncle.

But, it's not very easy when the phone bug. (no hard reboot too)

For your information:

Camera work today :D => Image ok (quite dark, but ok)

The "big" problem is the storage partition.

I will post some screenshot to show you the problem.

I need to modify the EBR ( system and data partition) but the S2 is not like a "classical" mt6582 partition table :(

It only got "EBR1" and the other mt6582 got " EBR1 & EBR2".

stay tuned :)
[Device Reviews and Information] nyco:
MIUI screenshot

Like as promise, some SS for the miui rom (see attachement)

What's work:

front & back camera

flashlight !

wifi

bluetooth

sensors

external SD

modem (call/sms) => to be confirmed after 3G tests.

switch sim1 / sim2

What's NOT work:

GPS

"internal storage" must be resized (only 6mb), but with an external SD, everything it's ok => see pictures in attachement
[Device Reviews and Information] adilrenzu:
Nice, keep up the good work, although i think that the GPS was faulty even on the stock rom
[Device Reviews and Information] nyco:
GPS ok

Well, it finally work ! (like the stock rom :) )

I need help to find the solution for the storage, and after i will post the Beta version.

After testing my rom this week end, i try to play with the "heart sensor", but the apps failed.

All other things ok :)

Stay tuned ;)
