Hi,

I interested this phone, but i don't know what's about battery life. How many ours can you use the smartphone (time on screen in battery setting) in normal usage (wifi, 3G, games etc.)? Thank you in advance.

How are you finding the ZP920? Any annoying issues (e.g., Bluetooth, gps while driving, call quality, touch screen issues, etc...)

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gmincca:
Hi,

Overall this is a superbly fast phone and 4G performance is excellent.

The main irritation so far is battery life, but which seems to be improving a little with each discharge/recharge cycle. I'm sticking to full discharge - until it shuts down, then full recharge with phone off to try to see what max life is achievable. At present I'm getting ~ 3 days average usage on a charge - compare 5-6 days with my ThL W8. It is wifi that sucks the battery down the most, not sure what can be done to improve this.

Other 'irritations' are lack of video calling (this was built in my W8 and worked well), SIP (internet calling) has been disabled and needs root to re-enable, also taking screen shots is a real pain (on the W8 this was in the drop down quick tiles). I'll probably root it at some time and try to sort these out, but for now I'm waiting in the hope Zopo will give us Lollipop.

Hope this helps.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ghost45:
Lollipop is not for now!

It will be more time later...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] semo.pz:
Ok sounds good. Could you tell me where you bought it from and are you happy with the retailer (how long did it take to arrive, did they communicate ok).

I use skype instead of SIP or video calling so that doesn't bother me. Also 1 day battery life is all I need so no worries in the battery department for me. Wish I knew more about Zopo before spending $300 though (from China non the less)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gmincca:
How much more time, do you know?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gmincca:
When?

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

Battery now 48-55 hours between charges normal use. Charger very hot when charging, cause for concern?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ghost45:
Hi,

sorry but i don't know exactly but it need some other period of time.

Consider that all the staff nobody have heard nothings about lollipop,and there aren't any test preview version.

so , sure isn't for now.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] T-Bolt40:
Hi,I received my ZP920 on tuesday.

First impression is quiet good quality for a phone at 230€...:D

Coming from a GALAXY S4 Mini , I find the ZOPO very fast..

The Screen is beautiful with great colors.

My SIM works very well with 4G (France).

WIFI and Bluetooth are connecting easily even with my Car system.

GPS was unable to find satellite at first use , I download "GPS STATUS" that allows to swipe the cache and then it works very well ( first fix in 10 seconds and the others in 3 seconds) , Working well on Google NAv ,Copilot and COYOTE..

The main APN makes wondefull Pictures , the only problem is the autofocus that works continuously and i hear several "clics" made by the motor of the APN trying to stabilyse the focus.. :eek: Don't know how to fix that. :rolleyes:

Battery life after 1 complete charge is about 27 hours , with normal use and a complete set up of the phone. Not too bad .

Hope that ,with 3 or 4 complete cycle the autonomy will increase.

Hope this will help.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] electron45:
Two things

1.- Photos taken with this phone are not F/2.0. Rear camera is F/2.2 and front camera is F/2.4. Can anyone confirm?

2.- ZOPO ZP920 has low battery capacity and Android 4.4.4 has a serious problem: it consumes a lot of battery with wifi activated. It is best to adjust: Settings-> Wi-Fi -> (Menu) -> Advanced-> Keep_Wi-Fi_on_during_sleep = Only when plugged in (mobile data consumption will increase slightly)

Didn't have issues with focusing yet, what build are you running? Mine focuses quite fast and snaps even faster...

[MENTION=4488810]Levered[/MENTION]

Can't find it anywhere on the phone / sdcard - it appears that Zopo updater erases ota zip after successful update - i didn't know that so i went straight to update when i was prompted. :( I'm currently running build ZP920 20150203 and i don't have camera like the one on the flyer...

[MENTION=4116524]electron45[/MENTION]

1) yes, rear camera is F/2.2 here too, i'm assuming i'll find same as you if i shoot few with front :/

2) should get better with few charge cycles, it usually does with chinese batteries (theese are rarely conditioned prior to shipping), i'll try your trick and report my finding but on an average day i get same battery use for cell standby and wifi, what is indeed a wee bit troubling...

Hi

@ [QS] : I confirm I'm on Build ZP920 20150203.

@ Levered : I don't know how to pick up the app to send it .:(

And in general , my battery works quiet fine , the last discharge was at 07h00 AM and at this time(6h00 PM) i have 75%

My use in the day was 30 min Bluetoooth Music in my car this morning , check of SMS and Mail twice , Few minutes on FB and at least 45 min of Icoyote and music back to home..

For the main Camera , I think I will send back the phone for this problem of Focus.

Bluetooth connection interrupted

Hello,

I am using the Zopo ZP920 with rooted firmware ZP920 20150203.

I use the ZP920 to connect to my bluetooth speakers (JBL Soundfly BT and Bose Soundlink II). The connection works, but after some time, it is disconnected and after about 20 seconds reconnects.

I have no clue why. I already tried an app called "Bluetooth Keepalive", but no success. I stream the music from Spotify, so the WLan is active while BT is in use.

In the MTK Engineering settings I find some parameters for bluetooth, but I am not sure if that helps. Do you know what can be done?

Is this a known bug and will be solved in future firmware releases?

Thanks for your help

Kind regards

Mario

[MENTION=3448810]digiphotos[/MENTION]

Hey there,

I personally haven't experienced such bug, but i've only used bluetooth paired with car system in phone mode - it worked flawlessly. Does it happen on both bluetooth speakers or just one set? Bluetooth keepalive app would help if bt connection was dropping and then staying down (because phone went to sleep), but you describe connection drop and then reconnect. How far do you keep your phone from speakers when playing? Could there be some interferrence? Since you're rooted, could you provide portion of logcat when such connection loss happens?

EDIT: Tested with my cheapo chinese MAQ PA306 bluetooth speaker - played few hours without a single hickup from stock Music capp and Google Music app. Friend is bringing JBL set later today so I'll try with his pair too...

Cheers :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] digiphotos:
Hello,

it works flawlessly with my BT headset Samsung HS 3000 (telephone calls and music transmission - perfect). It happens on my Bluetooth speakers JBL Soundfly BT and Bose Soundlink II. Both speakers work perfectly with other smartphones.

The connection loss often occurs after some time. I have recorded a log in catlog and the connection interrupted after about 20 minutes and then reconnected. So the Catlog was running for 20 minutes and the TXT-file is very big (about 400 MB).

Just a few moments after the connection interruption and reconnect, I finished the catlog recording. I have zipped the file to about 19 MB and uploaded it. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to post links here, so I will write you a private message with the link.

Could you look into the log?

Thank you and kind regards

I have a question for owners of this amazing phone :)

I got it two weeks ago and find it really awesome, but I have one little problem - YouTube doesn't want to play in 1080p. When I go to quality selection it offers only 720p. 1080p videos from files play normally :) Does anyone have this problem too, or is it just my phone? :) Thanks!

Hello,

my phone shows many satellites in the app "GPS Status" and has a SATFix in a few seconds.

However, for navigation in Google Maps (latest version) it is useless because obviously the sensors do not work correctly. When my car is standing, the phone loses the orientation completely and changes the direction. Also, when I am driving slowly through small roads, the phone loses the orientation and recalculates the route again and again.

I have already calibrated the compass in the MTK tools and in the app "GPS Status", but the compass signal is still unreliable.

Has anyone experienced the same problems with Google maps? Is there a way to disable the compass and gyroscope sensors completely?

Kind regards
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] [QS]:
Maps you say, uhm, will try today and i'll tell you how it goes. I'll have a chance to navigate around a city - lot's of stops/starts and so... just to see if I can replicate error :/
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] howasparty:
I've tried with Sygic and Google Maps. No problems, just sometimes a little late.

BUT, maybe due to the fast processor it became too warm within 30 minutes, showing a warning. It was a sunny day (15°C) and the phone was lying on the dashboard. With my trusty Desire HD, I only once had this problem on a very hot summer day in Spain

Regards, Mark
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] [QS]:
Well i succesfully replicated this compass bug - driving below 20 km/h or standing on red light actually makes Maps position indicator jump around on adjacent streets/roads and recalculate position all the time. I checked compass thru GPS app and it appears to be borked. It will often point in wrong direction depending on how the phone is positioned. Works best when horizontal but that's not the best way to use navigation in car :/

Hope it's something they can fix thru software patch (or completely disable compass)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] howasparty:
OK, I see. I mostly tried on a horizontal position and only once remarked a turning map.

I wonder, if Zopo is aware of the problem?

Maybe someone should write them.

Stock ROM Zopo official

Hi,

Official stock roms for ZP902 Magic are now on the Support page of www.zopomobile.com.

:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] digiphotos:
Hello,

in the settings of the app "GPS Status" you can change the sensor filtering to "strong". That is a small improvement - nevertheless the navigation in Google Maps remains useless for me.

I noticed another bug: My battery level was low and I connected the phone to my car charger (Wicked Chili car charger - pretty good charger which works well with other devices). The battery level reached 100% after about 15 minutes and the phone stopped charging. That was too good to be true: After I unplugged the phone, the battery was empty very fast (after about 30 minutes). This happened several times with different car chargers :(

I am fed up with the Zopo ZP920. In my opinion, this smartphone has very nice features like full HD display, full HD video recording, LTE and a very fast processor. But these features are "nice to have" for me. Most important are basic features like:

- stable bluetooth connection

- navigation in Google Maps

- Reliable charging of the battery

Zopo should also have focused on these basics. I purchased the smartphone Huawei Honor Holly which is a low-budget phone. But the basic features work very well.

I wish you good luck with the Zopo ZP920.

Kind regards
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] [QS]:
Sorry to see you go buddy :(

I haven't encountered battery bug yet, for me it holds charge for 2 days when used lightly (couple of calls, couple of messages, 10ish minutes of browsing, etc...). It could be problem with battery itself. It has Lithium Polymer hybrid battery, and those are susceptible to overheating if charged too fast and then beginning to loose charge too fast [I remember warning people about it in Xperia L thread when certain kernel came out with fast-charge ability but I was told off]. In your case however, it must be something else - there's no way you could damage your battery that fast, even if you (ab)used it every day. It might be a case of faulty device - you should contact someone thru zopomobile official forum - see what can be done about warranty claim.

Enabling strong filtering did help a little bit but I still agree with you - navigation jumping streets on every red light or speed below 20 km/h is useless - I wrote about it to aforementioned forum. Hope they'll do something about it. Thanks for the tip :)

Hope you have better luck with Huawei and if you decide to sort out situation with Zopo.

No, the recent OTA update is only removing Hebrew (and maybe some other languages) issue, introduced in previous, 20150323 update, nothing more.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] doperst:
It was me. I have unpacked update.zip and there were these files: boot.img, lk.img, new FrozenKeyboard apk for some exotic locale, a couple of new fonts and fallback_fonts.xml that broke Hebrew locale.

Recent 20150326 OTA just installs the correct fallback_fonts.xml file that fixes Hebrew problem. This is confirmed by a feedback from 4pda user.

I can not tell you exact reason. Looks like some memory leakage. I have been using Xposed+Gravity for 3-4 days almost without problems (signal strength colors sometimes do not work), and yesterday i stuck because Home button did not work. Disabling Xposed fixed that, but i do not really like going on without Gravitybox features, so i have come upon a temporarily workaround:

I have set my Back button long press in Gravitybox settings to emulate Home button. Now, even if Home button gets brokeh, i can still use long press-Back to overcome this bug. Seems that using "emulated" button, temporarily fix the bug.
