About Gps.

Can you try with gps status or gps test application and tell us in how many seconds do you lock a GPS signal? And with how many satellites.

With closed 3g and Wi-Fi.

Hi Vitalja,

how is the quality of the rear camera (13MP) ?? Is it possible, that you send me some test pictures??

Best regards from germany

Viktor
[Android General] VitalieTurcanu:
I tried few minutes ago GPS with the app GPS Test so the start takes around 20-25 seconds without wi-fi or 3g connections ! In view has 11 satelites and in use 5 ....the accuracy (feet) 14 ! :)

Happy New Year guys ! :D

Hi

You could see if it works OTG ?

Is it possible to connect an external USB flash drive or wireless mouse and keyboard
[Android General] varadi.peter:
Usable memory

Dear VitalieTurcanu,

could you please check for usable memory? I am interested in how the memory is partitioned eg. how much space is there for internal storage (installed programs) and phone storage (pictures, music, etc). Depending on your answer I may or may not buy this phone :)

Thank you very much!
[Android General] andyman67:
hello

I come from Germany

My English is Google translate, sorry

I need a backup of the firmware please

[Android General] VitalieTurcanu:
Hi !

Total space is 27.44 GB available ! Now i have available space 21.44 gb !

Apps - 3.61 Gb (Have some games that takes a lot of memory like Real Racing 3 , Navitel (maps more than 1 gb).....)

Pictures,videos 441 MB

Audio 694 MB

Cached data 99.52 MB

Miscellaneous files 1.21 GB

At your question how the memory is partitioned....is not partitioned....so u can upload all the memory available with music,video or apps...it

doesn't matter what kind of information u are uploading....u have not a limit for music or video (the limit sure is around 27.44 GB :D) !

For me this type of memory is better than sd card type.....because sometimes the sd card memory fills up so u must remove some apps or some information to make some free space !

I hope that information will be useful for u :D !

Have a nice day !

---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

Sorry Madjaro but i haven't any USB device or better to say a have not the cable to connect it ! But at the memory settings is a point for External USB Storage so i think that is more than possible to connect a external storage !

hi

hi guys ,

im new here but i thinq to buy this phone .. . . the problem for me its android 4.2 because i thinq 4.4 its better . . any one know there gonna have any upgrade ???
[Android General] VitalieTurcanu:
hi! At this moment nothing information about update to 4.4 or higher! We hopefully are thinking that in the future, the Chinese company will update this phone to a newer version of Android! Or some developers will try to make a version for this phone!
[Android General] JcLion:
ty :) and u thinq its a good deal this phone ??? i want spend max 200euros
[Android General] VitalieTurcanu:
If the version of Android is not so important for you, so you can buy it ! The phone worth the money! Has a really good display and 2 GB of RAM that for gaming is very important sure if u are playing! A good design ....i don't see the sense of the back pad but the phone has it !

[Android General] varadi.peter:
I couldn't agree more! I like it better this way - who knows now what will I have more next year: music or apps? :)

I just hate stupidly partitioned things like the original Newman K1S ROM... they left only 1 GB internal storage. Interestingly this piece of information (regarding partitioning) is never displayed in the specs :(

Thank you very much for your answer.
[Android General] killani64:
I found this thread researching about the phone, I did an extensive, unaffiliated review of it some days ago, check it here:

[YOUTUBE]MGCW0I06Hzs[/YOUTUBE]

I hope this helps for any potential buyers!

ALSO: there's sufficient reason to believe it won't be updated to Android 4.4. The original, chinese version of the phone runs Baidu Cloud OS, which is based on Android 4.2. Since in China, Google services are barely used, there's very little reason for Baidu to update the Cloud OS to 4.4 since there aren't really any significant improvements that make it worthwhile. So in any case: as long as Baidu Cloud OS doesn't get updated to 4.4, our version won't be either.
[Android General] Oltcit:
Kolina

I've get this phone just now. Everything is excellent, the display, camera, very fast, i like the backtouch, all of the specs are real.

BUT I was charging for 10 hours and the battery reached just 37%. Sometimes i have used, and the percentage dropped down by 7-8% with charger! I've reached 19k points in the Antutu, this is joke..., and finally the software is full of with bloatware, sometimes looks like a remote controlled phone: just install useless apps , i cant do anything, because i cant root the phone, i've tried some methods, but nothing helps.

Maybe they've manipulated the droid at 1949deal...
[Android General] VitalieTurcanu:
You are welcome ! :)

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 AM ----------

Try the KingoRoot method for my phone it worked ! KingoApp .

But the Antutu result its really strange.... Without root the phone was getting 29600... Look in the Antutu info what's the type of processor... the Rom 2 GB or 1?
[Android General] VitalieTurcanu:
This is my review of the phone [YOUTUBE] http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=es-ChP22KD8/[YOUTUBE].

And a compare between phone displays of Zopo 900H Leader, Kolina K100 + and Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 (Super Amoled) Here!
[Android General] Oltcit:
Kolina

MTK6592T, 2GB RAM. I've made another test now is 21k - with disabled bloatwares. Battery was fully charged after 18hours, now i am using very hard the phone, and the battery still lasts. Odd.

Kingo doesnt work, it says: failed to restart the phone...
[Android General] Oltcit:
Everything looks like OK! Antutu score is 34k, it charges properly. I've used all day long the phone and i've lost 25% percent from the battery!

Rooting later.
[Android General] madjaro:
Oltcit, You can see how it works OTG
[Android General] Oltcit:
I am planning, i will buy an OTG cable. But now i dont have any. But look, all of the details are true, so i think, the OTG feature is must be true as well.
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
Received mine finally yesterday.

Really impressed from the smoothness and the colors of the device.

Gps is fast also.

Antutu at 33k, without removing any chinese apps.

Got it from Vickmall in 2 weeks in Malta. With free leather case and also rooted.
[Android General] waj1234:
Mine came today from coolicool to the UK 8 days. As it happends an UMI C1 came at same time that was ordered 2 months ago lol. The quality of both is very good and even though the C1 is 720p screen they look very similar and its a quad core and opens apps as fast as the 100+.

Anyone managed to turn off the stupid back touch panel? It's so annoying all of the time and even though its turned off in settings it still works. One other thing is the light bleed from the bottom is very poor but no issue for the price.
[Android General] waj1234:
Never mind got it on Ebay now as cant get used to the touch back.
[Android General] lonely_mind:
Seems that it's impossible to disable with stock international ROM :(

The "persist.sys.backpad.enable=false" in /system/build.prop didn't worked for me.

Also, does anyone have issues with USSD codes ? I can't run codes like *101# and so on, the caller app just resets the entered number.
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
Hmm, at my Kolina, this entry doesn't even exist.
[Android General] alexpen:
Cannot get rid of ads

Does anyone know how can I get rid off the ads. They keep popping up when I open chrome and it is always opening a new tab with loadingba specific spam webpage
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
The most complete solution is :

first rooting.

Then install Adaway which blocks all general ads and then a browser with Adblock like Lightning browser or Javelin.
[Android General] alexpen:
Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately this didn't help. I think I will go for another ROM.

Does anyone know a good looking English Or international ROM? And......:silly: cause I am noob a good step by step tutorial to apply the ROM...?
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
You will get in the process of changing Rom because you have ads?

It's obvious that you didn't do something well, cause at mine device there are no ads anywhere.

[Android General] MoebiusTesla:
backpad grrrr

That irritating back pad is the only thing i want to disable.

The option in the settings menu does not work.

Seems like some dev was sleeping.

Anyone can take a look at the rom?

Been wondering how to open it to tear the backpad out.
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
Simplest way to forget about this matter.

Use a case. :)
[Android General] kermittos:
You can try a different ROM, there are couple ROMs available as far as i know.

[Android General] kermittos:
I asked on support chat and they confirmed they have plans to release an update but could not give me any specific date yet.
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
Which support exactly?

No official company gives such information.

All of them say that there won't be or that they don't know.
[Android General] kermittos:
I was surprised as well.

Now to find a stripped down rom that suits me
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
But as you can understand, getting an update doesn't mean KK.

They could provide a 4.3.2 Rom, which ofcourse would be an update,but it wouldn't make any difference at the end.
[Android General] kermittos:
As far as I can remember I asked about KK update specifically.
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
For the last days I had a contact with Vickmall shop about the issue with the spam web site.

They confirmed me that after asking the production company that there is NO new rom available.

I wonder what will happen finally.

Unleashed by my Nexus 4
[Android General] lonely_mind:
There are lots of interesting ROM's here user.qzone.qq com/94041524/blog/ Just select 100+ V6 on the right panel and look for Unicom (in chinese) in topic name or 100cw. Such firmware will include modem for WCDMA networks. The only problem is that files are stored on Baidu drive and you will need a Baidu account to download files.

I've made some workarounds with custom ROM. This one is based on almost pure Android 4.2.2, no chinese apps. I've added LatinIME from AOSP, modified BaiduFlashlight from stock 100c BaiduRom and some finetuning with build.prop. The back panel is disabled. Gapps are to be installed using recovery right after applying new rom. Of course don't forget to make a backup of your data (best practice is to use CWM for all flashing procedures) and wipe(data+cache+dalvik) before installing new rom.

The bad thing is that Phone.apk is a bit ugly when on call screen, i.e. you can't dial number or press keys while talking. But everything else (phone dialer, contacts) is very close to AOSP.

Kolina rom

Hey guys i got the miui rom working on my kolina 100+ but for everyone interested in the international official version i posted the rom on needrom. needrom.com/download/kolina-100/

sorry guys they promised me i worked without backpad, but it didn't
[Android General] aerolsol:
Hi,

yesterday I recived my kolina from coolicool.

Device is fine had 32xxx in antutu 10 multitouch working fine., 2gb ram and all others stuffs looks ok. Only one think is wrong for me.

Everywhere on box, even in antutu i have information about 13M rear and 5M front camera. But in camera aplications maximum what I can chose is 9,5M rear camera and 4M front camera. It is normal?

In my Kolina after i turned it on i had some chines apps. It wasnt clear android. First i root it and delete those apps ( if it have any meaning)

Regards

i`ve flashed the rom at needrom.com/download/100-v6/ but my back touchpad is still active, i`m so sad :(

and i still can`t find the line in system/build.prop
[Android General] kermittos:
But you've disabled it in settings, right? :cowboy:
[Android General] Alexx890:
i really don`t find any setting about the back panel or any touch panel in the settings menu. Where do i find it ?
[Android General] Qefx:
how about GPS? Good reception?
[Android General] Alexx890:
The phone works well with all features, no lag, no force closes, fm radio is ok, battery. ..after watching about 4 hours of continuous movies it went from 100% to about 60%, which is cool, gps works great for me, the only thing that didn't go as planned was the APN(access point name) for data was missconfigured, but after editing it, all is great. I even installed AdBlock Plus for those pesky ads and works like a charm. But i really need to get used to, or disable the backpad. .keeps bothering me. .
[Android General] kermittos:
I don't own this phone.. yet but you can see it here: "Back Pad settings" http://youtu.be/c7iAtJHtLhU?t=4m33s

thx, i`ve tried it. It does have the backpanel settings, but even after changing the language (very hard i might add :) ), there are still some apps and stuff in chinese...i had to revert to my old rom.

Thanks anyway!
[Android General] kermittos:
No problem. Well, I don't know how bad it is but you can try 'System app remover' from Playstore to remove chinese apps.
[Android General] Alexx890:
The apps themselves were not the problem, i disabled them from settings->apps, the actual problem was every pop-up was in chinese, no matter what language was the app itself in

Bought the phone last thursday received it today!

Nice phone but does anybody have a tutorial how to install miui because i would like to install that

Bye
[Android General] Alexx890:
Tutorial for flashing roms on Kolina K100+ :

Considering u already have the drivers installed;

First, u will need these things :

SP-Flash-Tool

ROM like : S610W-ota-BL_100Cw_W01.10201729.zip

Custom Recovery

Copy S610W-ota-BL_100Cw_W01.10201729.zip to u`r phone.

Then :

Unrar the archives and run flash_tool and inside flash_tool click Scatter-loading and open MT6592_Android_scatter from the custom recovery folder that u just unrar.

Turn off u`r phone, disconnect the USB cable, click download in flash_tool, reconnect the USB and wait for the program to say OK.

Now disconnect the USB and start the phone in u`r new recovery using Volume UP + Power.

Select using Volume Up and Down to install zip and select S610W-ota-BL_100Cw_W01.10201729.zip that u`ve previously copied to your phone and wait for the process to be finished.

That`s it, u`r done.
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
Are you sure that your hosts file is correct?

It has only one line and it's 25 bytes.

Mine is 1.1mb and it has over 70 lines.
[Android General] Alexx890:
you should actually have only one line in the hosts file and that is :

127.0.0.1 localhost
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
This is mine

https://app.box.com/s/pcodslbpmiyw6xqjdbsu2p5vmvhwbm5u

Maybe the rest of lines were created by adaway?
[Android General] Alexx890:
Lol, did u even open it ? Here`s what the first 5 rows say :

# This hosts file is generated by AdAway.

# Please do not modify it directly, it will be overwritten when AdAway is applied again.

# This file is generated from the following sources:

# http://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.asp

# http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=hosts&showintro=0&mimetype=plaintext

...and so on
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
R u trying to be funny?

Of course I did and that's why I asked if all these lines are from adaway.

I just wanted a second opinion to be sure that no suspicious lines exist in that file
[Android General] Alexx890:
Sorry, not trying to be funny, but the first line says that those lines are inserted by AdAway and in order to delete them, u have to delete AdAway itself, because it will overwrite the hosts file if u try to edit it directly.

So, in my opinion, try to do the following :

1. Delete AdAway

2. Install AdBlock Plus and download the adlist from u`r country

3. Delete u`r hosts file and put in mine (with only 1 line)

3. Edit u`r wireless connection and data connection so that u have proxi on localhost port 2020

After doing so, u will not have any problems with ads anymore
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
Can you give more info about step 3?

How to select proxy at port 2020?
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
Never mind...

I followed your guide and still doesn't work.

I made also a reboot to be sure.

I open Opera, first link it loads its the same Chinese link. But tried with other sites with ads and they are blocked. So it means that ABP is working.

But not for this first link..
[Android General] Alexx890:
U might have the startpage or a plugin for Opera installed, do not actually know. I might help if u give more info. Does it matter what first link do you open ?
[Android General] MoebiusTesla:
Finally found a great rom without the irritating backpad

i posted it here needrom.com/download/kolina-100-rom-without-backpad-function/

stripped of everything and small size just add google apps for jellybean.

Only one bug for me, google calendar does not seem to work.
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
Doesn't matter the first page or which browser.

The first time that I launch a browser, I get this link.
[Android General] Alexx890:
I just had the exact same problem. Seems like there is a virus built into the rom, but u should be able to delete it using "360 antivirus" from google play. Don't know if u actually need the phone to be rooted, but mine was rooted when i did that. Everything works great for me now. Lemme know if the problem still persists for you. But there is a catch. If u root u'r phone and grant access to adblock, u have to set the proxy to none
[Android General] aerolsol:
Hi, on our kolina screens is gorilla glass 3?

I scratch it ssomewhere a little bit ;/ Maybe on screen there is some screen protector and I scratch it, not screen?
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
So by installing and using this antivirus the spam link got disappeared?

Did you try with different browsers and it doesn't load anymore?

And what about adblock? Do I have to install this also?

I don't think that is gorilla, cause at some sites that I have checked they don't mention it.

Also some sellers give the phone with a screen protector on, so it's not standard for everyone and you should check it yourself. Shouldn't be so difficult to understand. Check closely around the corners.
[Android General] aerolsol:
I checked one more time and I think there is screen protector. But margin from the housing is very thin.
[Android General] Alexx890:
yeah, i've tried chrome, baidu browser and opera. The link is gone for good. U do not have to install adblock :)

oh, by the way guys, this phone doesn't have gorilla glass :) don't smash it!!!

and, i`ve found a rom that let`s u disable/enable the backpad from the system file and has no chinese apps :

https://yadi.sk/d/z4G_peGFdyNqG

and here is gapps : https://yadi.sk/d/R2_0vMS5dyNqJ

if u wanna flash it, use Custom Recovery and install zip, but remember to double reset it from the wipe menu in CMW and install gapps while still in CMW

The only bad thing about this rom so far, is that it doesn`t have the option for backpad in settings :(
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
Put here the exact antivirus link that helped you solve the problem.

I installed 2 different 360 anti-virus and none found anything suspicious.
[Android General] Alexx890:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qihoo.security&hl=en here it is

but u have to use the antivirus tab from it to scan
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
This is the first that I tried and as I said it didn't find anything.

Do you remember which was the application that was carrying the virus?
[Android General] Alexx890:
sure, u'll find it in system, and it has the twitter logo and it is called something like twitter, but it is surely not just called twitter.

but u might have another virus. what is the link? mine was something like coo13.net
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
Yeap it's the same link.

I don't think I have such app enabled though.

I always disable apps that I don't use.
[Android General] Alexx890:
Has anyone find any rom, in english, with a backpad settings in settings menu + a nice working call app ? something like lonely_mind rom but without the nasty call app :(

Can you propose a good custom Rom that doesn't allow any spam Chinese links?

Is this at post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=58286770 a good option?

Or this is a better one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=58390301 ?

I can't remOve the Chinese ads with adaway or other add removing apps.
[Android General] Alexx890:
The first one is the one i am currently using, the bad thing is that u don`t have the option to disable the backpad.

The second one is ok too, actually better then the first one, but the phone.apk is nasty, u can`t enable the keypad or put on speaker, and it is displayed only on half of the screen.

Both don`t have chinese apps, and both can block ads using AdBlock Plus (but u have to configure it properly).

In my opinion, if u aren`t bothered by the backpad, use the first link
[Android General] RASTAVIPER:
So I just finished flashing the first one, but its full of chinese apps since the moment it boots.

I managed to remove many of them, but the problem is that I didn;t manage to set my Google account.

For example I go to Play store and it force closes.

At maps I press sign in and nothing happens.

At settings>add account there is no option for Google.

Any ideas>
