I think you'd have to downgrade. I installed the 6.5.87 438 too. Didn't see anything weird, apart from the usual nlp wakelocks.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shandy Shadow:
i installed that version too, but some things don't work, such as smart lock (for me), and when connecting to smartwatches, it says 'sync loop', it is connected, but drains too much battery.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTMoraes:
Oh... I wouldn't know, I don't use any of those features. I have severe slowdowns due to synching, but I'm greenifying Google Play Services, and I think it doesn't like when I do this.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zenroid:
Seems the new version compatible with lollipop has been pushed today so I guess no need to tinker with this apk file
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraven001:
Guess this is the one to install now:

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...oogle-play-services-6-5-87-1599771-430-2-apk/

In case another version was installed (like 438 or whatever) that needs to be uninstalled (in order to do that disable the Play Services - Android Manager from Security -> Device Admins; uninstall updates; apply the new version and re-enable things in security).

LE: Trusted places is enabled with this new version but I am not sure it actually works :)

LE2: Trusted places indeed works! Just my location was off.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fredouye:
In my case, it works at home but not at work (maybe GPS reception is bad inside the building)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraven001:
What I did to make it work was "teach" it some locations based on network which seemed quite accurate but weren't spot on as the GPS ones (and also my home location seemed to be way off before - guess I set it up randomly before since it was in the general "ballpark").

Off topic but helpful (I hope):

Also as a tip, if you want to force the lock screen (and temporary disable smart lock) you can just tap the "lock" icon that appears on the screen - for me that was not that obvious (though now makes sense since it kinda works as in stock lollipop).

Still LG kinda made a mess of the screen and it's a shame they use only half of it for notifications and keep the bottom half restricted for unlock options. Maybe in new versions they will reconsider a strategy similar to what stock does ... but that is highly off - topic.

Don't we need 730?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraven001:
On APK mirror is mentioned that the 730 versions turned in 430 versions. I have 430 installed now and seems to work just fine. At the moment I couldn't find a 730 newer that 6.1.88 which comes preinstalled.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scgf:
I just flashed the (slightly) newer version of 20a - had the lgbbs version before - and this came with Google Play Services 438.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraven001:
There is the Poland version which comes with 6.1.88 (730) and the lgbbs version which I am not sure what contains (I didn't check when I had that installed). Which slightly newer one did you flash?

Nevertheless 438 seems reasonable, being the highest dpi available, however I can attest to the fact that on the 20A Polish version with 438 I didn't get trusted locations however that gets enabled with 430 (of course using play services version 6.5.87).
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scgf:
I got the one from this xda thread

Doesn't seem any different apart from coming with Google Play Services 438. Haven't had much time to play with it yet, only just finished setting things up.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraven001:
Interesting, I got 730 ... well, good to know, I am curious though if you flash play services 438 from apkmirror if Trusted Location gets enabled ... would be interesting to know ...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scgf:
Trusted locations only appeared after I enabled GPS - by default the G3 has battery saving location mode set.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scgf:
Having said that the trusted location is a bit too wide to be secure. I use Tasker to switch off security when connected to my home network.

Hi,

I am new to this android world so don't much>

SO the question--

I wish to flash a custom ROM on my Xperia Miro [ST23i] running on Android version 4.0.4 Build - 11.0.A.5.5 .

So after a lot time spent googling and exploring various posts on XDA I came to the conclusion that I need to --

1. Unlock the bootloader first .

which I did successfully

2. Download Desired ROM

I downloaded xParanoid-v3 (Ultimate Edition)

3. Now I am Stuck.

I figured that I need to install a recovery on my phone as it does not have it preinstalled

So I downloaded CLOCKWORK MOD Recovery

When I tried to Install CWM on my phone this error showed up [IMG="ERROR"]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/I_xhzsbTDTayvhWU5e51Ev0YnqHR1QsBaXBwzmlh9Xfw0CnVxboz1VessKJekSO-3e-g=w1335-h502[/IMG]

Now If there's a way to flash a rom without the need of recovery please do tell.. OR Please help me with this error.

Recently another Chinese manufacturer announced release of a phone with acceptable characteristics, increased battery and price around $100: CUBOT S200. What do you think of it, is it worth buying for this price?

Here are some highlights:

- MTK6582 Quad Core 1.3GHz

- 5.0 inch 1280 * 720 HD IPS Screen

- 1GB RAM + 8GB ROM

- 8.0MP Rear Camera (Interpolated upto 13MP) + 5.0MP Front Camera (Interpolated 8MP)

- Support 3G, GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth, Multilanguage, Gesture Sensing

- 3300 mAh Battery

And some promo-images:
[Android General] metalergr:
I believe is one of the best VFM phones right now. I ordered last week from Gearbest using a discount coupon S200MK for $96.59 .

It will be released on 26th of November , so I will have it in my hands around Christmas time. Till then I hope we will have a preview from some experts .
[Android General] FallenAngela:
I thought of preorder myself. But still I'm hesitating as to the quality, so I decided to wait and see when at least some video showing the subject on hands will be released.
[Android General] metalergr:
I had the same doubts but when I read the reviews of S168 (lower price model) , I decided to try it. Hope that I have made the right choice.

I only had the phone for half an hour or so. Bought it for my son who dropt his Galaxy S4. He likes the replacement a lot and is happy with it.

The build quality is high, you van just feel it. No loose buttons or anything. It's really beautiful.

Specs aren't near to a € 600 phone of course but i'm sure you will be impressed!
[Android General] sahbibenayed:
very acceptable compared to its price

I have this smartphone for two weeks , it is very very acceptable compared to its price. only the camera is 8M or less :( battery is very good . take more than two days and the screen is very nice .

---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

oh I forgot , everyone who sees the phone told me " oh you have bought a Galaxy S5"

one more thing : on 2 weeks I received 2 update (35Mo and 27Mo).

They just say on the update release note :to fix some issues :)

[Android General] dax702:
For anyone who has this phone, do you have any issues with trouble hearing the other person on the phone when the volume is turned up? I bought an Elephone G6 and the volume was low, but I got a custom ROM and now it's fine. Just curious if the S200 has this issue? Also, is the wifi signal good? GPS?

Another question, the Elephone specifies GSM:850/900/1800/1900 WCDMA:850/1900/2100 (HSDPA) and the S200 specifies 2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz

3G: WCDMA 850/2100MHz

Is the 1900 missing from WCDMA going to affect anything with T-Mobile in the USA?
[Android General] metalergr:
The phone received on 01/15/2015 (bought from gearbest when it was on presale)

After the few days that I have in my possession, I believe that this is a successful choice.

Very good product quality, amazing screen , no lags etc. (I put the Nova launcher)

Connects directly to wifi and run very well on the internet.

At first I was worried about the size of the phone (first time I got my hands on 5 "inch phone) but customary easily.

The battery is fine but I had high expectations of reason 3300mah. It lasts for a day of hard use (a lot of internet use) or 1,5 normal use. Of course it might pave over time. Has been charged 2-3 times.

At $ 86 it cost me I think is the best choice!.:good:

(now the price with discount coupon is $96.59)

There is no problem about hearing the other person that you have a conversation through the phone. The wifi signal is very good and the gps need some time to lock the satellites but after that it stays connected for ever. If you are using data on , it locks much faster.
[Android General] Sj12345:
This is my 3rd day review, I ordered it on 1/9/15 and received it on 1/16/15 from DHL. I have to say this phone has an excellent ips screen, good view-angles, the hardware is very acceptable and works well, the sound is so so, not the best but works, the phone looks solid, and pretty, it has similar dimensions to those of the sony xperia z3. In regards to the battery i was thinking wow, I am going to recharge it every 2 days, but no, the battery gives me 1 day with normal use. I use it with att that uses the bands 850/1900 but the phone only supports 850/2100, I had no problem getting 3G but it takes a little bit more time when I am in a building
[Android General] dax702:
Have you tried increasing the volume using the engineering mode? How is the stock ROM that comes with the phone?
[Android General] metalergr:
I have no problem about the volume of hearing either through the earphones or the speaker.

The phone came with rom V.02 but I received two updates from Cubot (V05 & V.08 ). It runs smoothly with no lags .

It is just fine . I also have installed Nova launcher which I believe it makes it run faster.
[Android General] tassoman:
I agree with other reviews.

Phone is really cool for less than 100$.

IPS display is good, speaker is very loud but a little metallic.

Battery stays for 2 days but camera is taking pictures too much cold for me

Video frame rate is really OK and not oblique lines moving horizontally.

Remember there is OTG USB not yet tested.

During charge usb port is getting warm.

Inner memory is 8GB. Two gigs for the KitKat, almost 6 gigs for apps and files.

Rebooting with Volume- will bring you inside the recovery and diagnostic menu but I have no clue of Chinese characters ideograms

Anyone would help translating the recovery menu? A tree diagram would be useful.

I'd like to root or flashing a custom rom :angel:

[Android General] sirpy:
gps issues led light stopped working

The cubot s200 runs fine, but as with other mtk and cubot devices the gps is not so good.

It does get a lock but the signal strength is 20-25 so its not very accurate, and when using a navigation software it will jump around and recalcuate routes.

inside the city where its more important the signal strength can be even worse.

Also after a couple of weeks the led light showing a new message/charging has stopped working.
[Android General] metalergr:
What led light? As I know Cubot S200 has not notification led.
[Android General] sirpy:
ahh ok, maybe i was wrong about that.
[Android General] bojan_ks:
Are you sure you are using S200? This model has no LED for such purpose. My unit works nice with iGO Primo GPS.

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

My CUBOT S200 was ordered on January 28th, and it was freely delivered on February 14th via Netherlands Post. So, it was very fast, but I guess that was because shipped from Hong Kong. My previous purchase was sent via same post but from China-main land and it toked about 50 days!

This phone is absolutely amazing, considering price. Works very well in all the aspects I've tested: wi-fi, gps, call (sound) quality, display & touch, web surf, UI, flashlight, etc.

Rear camera is not perfect but much better than all the others in this price range. Battery is large, officially stated as 3300mAh, but I've expected a little longer autonomy. Anyway, not bed at all!

To resume, I'll buy at least one more (in different color) because it really rocks!
[Android General] sirpy:
yes i'm sure its s200, i was mistaken about the led. the gps works but it doesnt work as good as other phones, tested the SNR with gps test is it almost never is above 30, with many sattelites under 20.
[Android General] tassoman:
root?

Any guide to s200 rooting? :confused:
[Android General] Sj12345:
rooting!

Make sure you are on the last update (V08)

1. Using SP Flash Tool, install this recovery (working twrp 2.8.2.0)

2. Download Supersu Installer

3. Copy Supersu.zip in the internal memory, then boot into recovery (vol+ & Power Button) and flash it

4. Restart and Enjoy

3 day review

had this phone for a couple of days now. 2nd chinese phone, 1st one was KingSing s2. Used for a month and a bit, liked it so much decided to see what else i can get.

So far really happy with this phone. Standby battery is epic. doesn't drop at all. leave it overnight with wifi enabled, in the morning still same %.

battery not super impressive yet, but i know the king sing got better with every cycle for about 4 cycles. Only charged this guy once so far, so hoping i'll get atleast 4 days for regular use on it. Right now got 2 days with 4 hours of screen time, and about an hour of youtube video watching.

sound an image quality is great.
[Android General] tassoman:
So, only installing modified recovery will not prevent future firmware updates?

Other question, on next firmware update will we lose the root then redoing the installation is needed? :confused:

Thank you for now :)
[Android General] bresjanacp:

Can somebody tell more about camera on cubot s200, is it flash good ?
[Android General] alekseyR:
ok, so an update on my cubot s200. I gave the white one to my girlfriends mother and ordered another black one for myself.

And there is one aspect im dissapointed with. The sound through headphones... It is REALLY terrible. Its like all the Bass is just cut out. Not sure if its a firmware issue, or maybe just this phone. I read a review of the cubot x6 and the guy seemed to be really happy with it. wondering if the X9 or the zorro have better sound... Im comparing to a galaxy s4 by the way.

Otherwise just loving this phone in black. looks amazing, runs smooth. battery is just as epic. just over a day so far with 4 hours of screen time.
[Android General] panda2005:

[Android General] alekseyR:
can't you just use kingoroot?

i used it on my kingsing s2 and worked flawlessly.

haven't tried the s200 yet though.
[Android General] panda2005:
Well, as others have already pointed out, no one-click root solution currently works for the CUBOT S200.

I tried kingoroot and it DID NOT work. Nor did vroot or any other available program...
[Android General] DerMetzgermeister:
I did root mine with vroot and later with rootgenius.

First time I tried to root it I tried rootgenius and it won't root, then I tried vroot and had to do the procedure twice, the second time it rooted fine but I didn't like the superuser Chinese aplications that installed. The week later there was a rom update and the root access was lost, and then I found this:

There is an option in the "enable usb debugging" section in preferences that reads something like "verify usb aplications" (In spanish is "Verificar aplicaciones por USB"), is checked by default, it scans applications installed through ADB/ADT. I unchecked it and Root Genius worked like charm.

Maybe is a coincidence? Root access is fine to this day. Guess I'll have to wait to the next rom update to see if my theory is correct.

BTW, I'm running the original CUBOT rom, no rooted or custom roms yet for me.

no speaker sound

hi guys. can you help me with a problem with my cubot s200. phone speaker doesn`t work for 2 days now. the call ring won`t ring. the alarm doesn`t ring. no mp3 sound on speaker, can list music only with earphones. speaker seems to be faulty after 2 days. there was an wireless update to V08 but it worked fine for 1-2 days. the the problem starterd. at fist no speaker sound but the lock screen sound and alarm sound i could hear.s but now not even those. when i make a call i can use the headpiece but if i activate the speaker there is no sound and if i go back to the headpiece also no sound.

should i downgrade to another version of rom? if yes how should i do it. thx :D

I believe it is a hardware problem , not software or Rom problem.

Go to a mobile service store and replace the loudspeaker of your phone. If your phone is new you can ask your supplier to refund you the cost of that repair.

Don't bother buying this. The support is non-existent. Extremely poor.

Still stuck on 4.4 and the company is more focused on releasing a new phone every 2 weeks (see their website) rather than supporting older phones.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irisois:
Looking to upgrade from my TF700, and before I make the Shield ready for prime time, I want to make sure I've optimized the tablet as much as is reasonable. I've unlocked/rooted my past phones and tablets, so I feel comfortable doing these things (after reading every post listed on the topic). I think I found the two big things, but if there are some other suggestions, I up for doing more.

What I was going to do when I purchase my Shield Tablet

1. To get the full functionality of the SD card, I should apply the fix mentioned here http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/general/fix-ext-sd-write-support-2-0-lollipop-t2946250 plus correctly format the CD card.

2. Take care of corrupt jpgs as mentioned here (http://xdaforums.com/shield-tablet/help/battery-life-t2880915)
