Bad cell reception = Bad anntena design

Overall bad signal reception due to the positioning of the antenna in the lower part of the phone.

If you measure signal using dBm app or go to Settings/about phone/status/sim status you will notice that signal disappears if you hold phone in the palm of your hand ie. covering lower part of the phone where antenna is . If you move hand upward behind the camera signal improves but it is still low. If dBm reading is compared to the internal phone reading from Settings, internal one is 10-12 dB(??) poorer which means that signal is additionally lost somewhere within the phone .

I have searched and tried about 10 different modem/radio files from other phones but to no avail, signal is still poor and data connection(3G) only works if phone is held by the upper half as explained above.

Great shame as phone is otherwise good but poor reception makes it barely usable for internet over 3G data connection .

Anyone has any other ideas or ways how to improve basic cell reception ?

Kingsing S2

Fine phone,

Camera is good for 80 euro.

Nice and clear screen with good resolution, did some quick tests and it seems not to make any Ethernet connections home a/k/a china. Didn't do a full check, anyways seems ok for now. Phone is quick, audio seems ok.. It is not as good quality wise and in loudness as a Xiaomi redmi 1S (with cyanogenmod 4.4.4) WiFI seems also a bit weaker. 3G/2G signal is fine in a city. Haven't tested outside my city yet.

Mid range budget phone seems to be really good for the money.

Using rom version 1.0 Android 4.4.2 (latest version according to Wireless-update in about the phone)

:good:

My mobile signal is:

Xiaomi redmi:

SIm 1 Vodafone -77dBm 18asu, Sim 2 KPN -83dBM 10 asu

Kingsing S2:

Sim 1 Hi -105dBm 8 asu

Seems ok to me? Now 802.11x WLAN

Xiaomi redmi:

58 Mbps

-57dBM * 28 ASU

Kingsing S2:

135 Mbps

-56dBm * 27 ASU

Now checking Mobile signal again with a app called (Network Signal Info)

Xiaomi redmi:

UMTS * 384 kbps

-77dBm * 18 ASU

Kingsing S2:

UMTS * 384 kbps

85dBM * 99 ASU (Incorrect?? idk??)

That is so bad , S2 is 28db below Xiaomi, -105dbm is barely a minimum signal !!
[Device Reviews and Information] NiTrOwow:
Will look intro it, did not had any major problems so far. If it becomes really a problem, then i will add an extra antenna or extend the existing one.

So far it worked fine, the signal never went really below 2 bars so.. (The bar indication might be fake or wrong, not sure).

And regarding rooting, people don't really need to flash anything. Just enable usb debugging, and do adb install KingRoot.apk

That's really it :good:

And regarding the notification led, any fixes available yet??

Inverted - upside and down roms

Hi Guys, I am not sure if any body has come across this issue, I have successfully ported few roms but they are all inverted upside down, I have tried everything possible. it is issue with the phone. I research on the internet, it said I can edit script.bin file, the phone doesn't seem to have the file. I am lost as to what could be causing custom rom to be inverted. I have used many china phones and made many custom roms but am stuck, first time ever I came across this issue, I need help would be appreciated if any body know how this can be fixed.

Thanks in advance

Problem with the com.android.phone proceds

Hello,

I have a Problem. I've bought a KingSing S2 and it work perfectly but everytime I try to put a sim card on it, it asks for the SimCode then connects to the network and then show an error on the com.android.phone process saying that it had to close. And the same process restarts until I turnoff the phone and remove the sim card.

I've tried to do a reset and even an update on the firmware with sp flash tools but even knowing that it said on the first time that an update was being made, the kernel and build version are still the same.

Can anyone help me solve this ? It seems to be a Software Problem.
[Device Reviews and Information] frabert:
Hi bankbb

you can try entering in factory recovery mode and formatting user space (I don't remember the exatc name, but is the only interesting..)

It Solved for me a similar problem.

Be lucky, and Mary Christmas! !!

I tried it both way, flash and recovery with the same result all the time. I have ported 3 rom with all upside down, I think it is the stock boot.img that has the issue, unless am not editing in in the wrong way, what I did was replacing the ported rom's ZImage file with the stock one and the then repacking it. I did a bit of tweckling with innit.rc. I think the proplem is in stock ZImage file but I don't know how to unpack it and edit it.

GPS Issues

Anyone who is having GPS issue with Kingsing S2 can try this workaround I found, it seems to work for me. You need to ignore the GPS.config bit as kitkat rom don't seem to use gps.config file any more.

http://vondroid.com/threads/gps-fix-for-chinese-smartphones-without-epo-and-agps.23995/#.VJ2_y90MBg

All the best.
[Device Reviews and Information] nyco:
No, no, don't touch the Zimage!

i've just unbrick my device, i will continuing my investigation.

Have you got problem with the storage partition ? (no FAT partition on stock rom :/)

Download start..

i wwill looking after.

What's your base rom ? (the original port)
[Device Reviews and Information] androidia:
it is a StokROM - Doogee Voyager 2 - 310

I don't think there is any issue with storage but I cant test because of inverted screen
[Device Reviews and Information] nyco:
i've dowload your rom.

i see you've got 2 times "ro.sf.hwrotation".

Remove the one you have add, and few lines up, you've got another one with "ro.sf.hwrotation=0"

modify it like ro.sf.hwrotation=180, and your rom is ok :)
[Device Reviews and Information] androidia:
Thanks, 2 eyes is better than 1. any issue with storage? I have used Doogee phone before in the past GPS seems to be better, so that was the reason why I ported it. I will try out GPS on it and try to fix any other issues before releasing final version.
[Device Reviews and Information] nyco:
just test your rom.

It's exactly the same problem on my MIUI rom !!

The storage is Wrong because bad partitioning.

the phone got 2 partitions under "settings". The little is the NVRAM or SEC_RO partition (7mb)

if you try to mount it , you lost your IMEI ! you must have an SD card if you want to use the camera too.

The solution is to repartition, and create a "FAT" partition. But last time, i brick my phone.

i search a solution
[Device Reviews and Information] nyco:
what is your recovery ? cwm or twrp ?
[Device Reviews and Information] androidia:
TWRP. there are few apk app for repartitioning mtk phones that I have used in the past, but none of them seems to work with 6582 phone or it could be KITKAT OS. Other option would have been edit the void.fstab but this file does not to be in system\etc where it usually is? KITKAT OS is different they have changed few thing as to the file structure. Also gps.config file no longer being used. I will be looking at solution for the storage if I found anything I will post it on here.

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] nyco:
Do you use mine TWRP ?

i try some apps for partitioning too.

the problem is the S2 got only 1 EBR file, like 6572/6577.

i mod the EBR and resize the partition "phone storage", but the free space doesn't go on "internal storage".

And the other problem is the mounting of the nvram partition

there's no vold.stab on KK :(

the partitioning is done with EMMC@xxx

My GPS work pretty good under MIUI, but i don't know why :)

Kingsing S2 LG G3 clone

Hi Guys,

Just thought I share a new rom I just ported from LG G3 Mtk6582 clone to Kingsing S2. everything works well as far as my test goes. This is a flash tool version haven't got time to make a zip flash copy yet.

Rom link

http://www.needrom.com/download/kingsing-s2-lg-g3/

Instructions:

Download the rom and unzip the folder somewhere

flash using download option MTK flash tool. you can use your stock preloader bin if you want to be on the safe side. my phone is Kingsing S2 so it should be the same.

Only known bug - Dialer has no send button - you can use another dialer from market,

You are trying at your own risk can be made responsible for any brick phone!!!!

Enjoy.

Hi,

I've do exactly that:

reboot, test it for a while...

then I've installed LG G3 ROM http://www.needrom.com/download/kingsing-s2-lg-g3/, (renaming userdata...) following provided instruction, but with an error: I’ve forgot to change mode in "Firmware upgrade", leaving it in "download".

If you have a rootet phone you have to go over a Root-Explorer (I use FX) into System (root) < system < priv-app < and delete the lockscreen.apk (I don`t know the exact name, because I already deleted it, but reading the name it was clear that it is the lockscreen and the Icon is also very colourful like the Kingsing lockscreen). I did it and after that I automatically had the normal Android 4.4 (KitKat) lockscreen without that nervy sound and with Stock KitKat Wallpaper. Much better!!!

-launch flastool and reflash anything you need :)
