Have you ever contacted seller where you have bought phone? I have never received warranty for anything directly by the producer, only by the seller with invoice included.
[Android General] Calugarar:
Well let me tell you about the seller, I had huge issues with him (Efox.com) I pre-ordered it and they delayed my order, they lost my package and they refused to give me back my money when the item was subjected to custom fees (they offered this insurance that if you're subjected to it, they'll pay you back.).

Good thing that I've paid through PayPal and each step, each issue was solved only after I made a complaint through PayPal.

Now after all said and done would you trust the reseller that you'll get your phone back once it's sent for warranty?

It isn't the first time I've ordered from China or Chinese products but u have never had so many issues with it....

I have an old HTC Desire that I got second hand and it's still working great, the back plastic is a bit worn and I've changed 3 batteries since then but other than the updated sw issue where they refused to release kernel source code there weren't any.

I've paid a pretty penny for the product and being disconsidered and ignored by iOCEAN is really ****ty thing to do.

It isn't for my so much for the money than the asshole gesture that iOCEAN has pulled on me on the support side.

If I would do that with my clients I would be out of business in no time at all!

Enough ranting let's see if we can help our fellow here...

Try to flash the recovery image and then flash through the recovery mijlenco's ROM here and log each step you make, be that if you sneeze or if you unplug the USB or if you have an SD card in it. Maybe we can debug it by going on a step-by-step basis. :)
[Android General] Sefy:
Seems you are correct!

When i go to the IMEI(Slo1) appers as Unknown

Why would it disappear and is there any way for me to fix it ?
[Android General] Calugarar:
Try this to fix your imei.
[Android General] miljenko:
At the bottom of iOcean service page you can find tool and explanation how to rewrite your IMEI

[Android General] mesang:
Didn't have time to check the advice you gave me, but after a reset and an update (someone else in the family wanted to try it) the problem was totally gone. Still, thanks again for the help!

Glad it worked out for you guys in the end. :)

Bigger Battery

Hey guys!

I don't know if this has been posted yet but this phone is going to come with (or an option) to have a larger battery - 3000mah. Or people that already have the device will be able to upgrade the phone as the new battery can be bought and will come with a new back cover so that it fits. This announcement will be made official within the next week/2 weeks.

Just a heads up ^_^
[Android General] Calugarar:
Yeah, I heard about that. Would be a welcomed upgrade!

Any news on lollipop? They said in April, but we're almost out of April.
[Android General] miljenko:
Kernel sources are available

https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/mediatek/

Anyone interested to build custom made kernel?
[Android General] Calugarar:
Wait, what?! They published sources? O_o

[IMG="mind blown"]http://i.imgur.com/UfsKJ.gif[/IMG]

=================================================

Update:

Here's an update on my previous issue with the screen unsticking from the frame. I contacted iOCEAN on their official page Facebook and the persont here put me in contact with someone from their HQ. Upon further explaining the issue they concluded that i had to send the phone to them (in China) so that they could "test it" and then fix it.

I couldn't my "phoneless" ;) for such a long time so i started looking for a local repair shop. After a couple of failed attempts, i finally found one that could and did fix it. The technicians there have confirmed my suspicion that the glue used to stick the phone to the frame is hotglue and that it has a relative low melting point. So they have replaced the glue with one that has a higher melting point and ta-daaaaaa it was fixed and it only costed me ~ 14 Euros (shipping would of costed me more than 50 Euros).

So you should keep your phone cool, don't let it go over 45 C (i took readings of 47 C around the back camera module with an infrared thermometer). So for the moment i'm trying out this app to keep an eye on the temps. Until we can make some mods to the kernel .
[Android General] miljenko:
iOcean announced that our phone will receive Android 5.1 in mid May. They are skipping 5.0. Cool
[Android General] Calugarar:
Is that the version with the memory leak patched or is it in 5.1.1? Well I hope their development goes unhindered :)
[Android General] Calugarar:
Whenever i'm in a noisy environment and i get a call, everybody complains that i sound way too soft and like i'm really far away. Does anyone know how i could fix this?

==================================

Update:

I was able to fix it myself, went to engineering mode > HW testing > Audio > Normal mode > Type > Mic > Level > Level X

Where X is :

Level 12 = 130 > Set

Level 13 = 160 > Set

Level 14 = 184 > Set

Reboot and you're done!

I think there's a lot more room for tweaking / improvement, didn't actually had time for that but it works way better than how it was before.

Custom rom

I need a custom rom MIUI or others to iocean m6752 . what is already there who made it:D?
[Android General] Apakekdah:
hi..

Hi,

I'm planning to buying this phone, but i'm little worried,

i read review of iOcean M6752, seems like there is a few issue about.

1. Telephone & Speech Quality

2. Camera & Video

3. Battry life

4. Speaker

I read from here

Does anyone here have the same or has some problems as described?

Thanks in Advance.
[Android General] miljenko:
Hello Apakekdah,

To be honest I don't have mentioned problems, or to be short, for me phone is satisfying. As always battery can be better, but they have announced bigger battery with additional cover.
[Android General] Apakekdah:
Hi Miljenko,

Thanks alot for your input friend.

Btw, are this phone support gyro censore?

Coz, i want to trying using google cardboard.. :D
[Android General] miljenko:
Yes, there's gyroscope sensor among others.
[Android General] Calugarar:
1. I had some issues with the other side hearing me but I was able to tweak it, you can see in one of my older posts

2. Camera and video are fine but they could be better, I have a Meizu M1 note and the not is way better in quality (front facing and main camera).

3. Battery life is ok-ish, depends what kind of a user you are, the newer battery will be a much welcomed boost.

4. The two speakers are fine, not loud as Hell but they do offer some volume. Going back and comparing it with the Meizu m1 note, the single bottom speaker is as loud and clear as the two speakers.

All in all I do prefer the Meizu m1 note over the iOCEAN Rock m6752, even though the meizu has 'weaker' specs compared to IOCEAN (like less ram, slower charging, lack of WiFi AM, no hotknot, etc) it feels like a more well rounded, quality, less buggy phone (for example the tap to wake feature is a hit or miss with m6752, m1 note works every time).

Both have faults, don't get me wrong. Like GPS is wonky, sometimes it's working, other times you're sitting near a river and it's saying that you're jumping around a lot or moving with 10km/h, event hough you're sitting down... Or it overheats like crazy when you're on a Hangouts video conference. Maybe most of the IOCEAN bugs/stutters will be fixed with the Lollipop update when/if that will land.

Also if you want to buy some accessories for your phone, you're better off with Meizu. I have failed to find a good case for the m6752 that doesn't include some weird adhesive to fix the phone to it. Or getting a replacement cable that is compatible with iocean's fast charging.
[Android General] Apakekdah:
Awesome

[MENTION=1748915]miljenko[/MENTION],

Thanks for the input miljenko,

Awesome.. so i can playing using google cardboard.. :D

Thanks alot friend..

[MENTION=4562360]Calugarar[/MENTION],

Thanks for the input Calugarar,

Yeah, meizu note is almost far good from iOcean M6752 by kimovil review,

but unfortunately there is no SD Card Slot :(

So, i try to search by processor M6752, and i've got mostly result is

1. Jiayu S3 Advance

2. ECOO E04 3GB Ram

3. iOcean M6752

4. Mlais M7

But, still confuse which one is the best for me to buying it..

I hope anyone can give me a review..

Thanks alot friend..
[Android General] Calugarar:
I think meizu does have SD support, didn't test it and i don't have it on hand now. But here http://is.gd/gNDAXn says that you can use sim 2 for SD card and i even found here http://is.gd/69OhfW a replacement part that does include a SD card reader with the sim. Be aware that the sim tray can sometimes be a hassle to pull out / put in and that it has to stay flush with the body in order to not get any random "There is no sim in sim #".

I think that Jiayu has a better build quality than iOcean and more custom ROMs if you're in to that. I didn't had the chance to try out other MT6752 phones other than the iOcean and Meizu. If you're going to pick up the white iOcean m6752, be careful to keep it in the case as i read on some german forum that it picks up grime really easy. Haven't had that problem with the black version. But i think it's a good thing to keep in mind.
[Android General] Apakekdah:
Awesome

Hi Calugarar,

Yeah you're right, there is a part replacement for Sim + SD Card, but we have to sacrifice one of the sim to enable the SD Card.

Yeah, the white color is easy to get dirty, but it's help to hide if there are scratches :D

btw, thanks alot for the input Calugarar
[Android General] Calugarar:
Hey guys, looks like iOcean is looking for devs for the phone. Is anyone interested? Contact them on their FB page https://www.facebook.com/ioceanmobile/
[Android General] Emanon77:
Hello,

I got my M6752 a few days ago and I am really happy with it so far. :D

Since I could not find any information about my build number 20150512-232658 and the latest build number being talked about here or on the IOcean website, I wanted to ask if anyone here knows if this is an official release?

A second thing is that I am missing the possibility to change the sim card in the pull down menu. Entering the settings/simcard menu everytime is as annoying as being asked which sim to use for each call or text. Am I too stupid to find the setting or doesn't this phone offer this possibility? Doing a google search I just found that this is meant to be a deault feature of Android.

Thanks in advance for any help :o
[Android General] miljenko:
Hello friend and welcome. Your build is latest unpublished build probably due to some small hardware change or you have 2GB version.

As for your second question, go to settings, first option (SIM management) and choose default SIM for voice calls and the rest.
[Android General] Emanon77:
Thank you Miljenko for the welcome and your answer. :)

Taskmanager tells me I have 2.85gb of Ram.

Regarding my second question, on my old Zopo I could change the default SIM by pulling down the menu you get by swiping down from the top of the screen without having to enter the settings menu, which I found very comfortable. I know I shouldn't be that lazy.;)
[Android General] Calugarar:
Iocean launched a beta version for L5.1, you can find it on their service page or you can click directly here. http://is.gd/4dC2h3
[Android General] miljenko:
I have downloaded but not yet installed. Anyone tried this update? If yes please share your findings!
[Android General] Calugarar:
I flashed Lollipop, just have some issues getting IMEI back and SN, both tools from iOcean are giving me a hard time.

IMEI tool tells me

>>Step:Begin Scan Smart Phone data...
>>Step: Start to Init AP Nvram Database...
OK: Init AP Nvram Database successfully.
>>Step: Start to Connect with target enter AP meta mode...
Init Modem meta handle by META_Init_Ex_2_r successfully, TargetStype= 1.
COM port searching and preloader handshake
COM port searching and preloader handshake ok
COM port searching and Kernel handshake
COM port searching and Kernel handshake OK
Error: SP_META_Wrapper_ConnectTargetByUsb_r() maybe is META_FAILED cause...
Error: Connect failed, Exit Meta Mode and turn to next phone.

And NV Tool tells me:

Calibration data is in unknown state, please load from file or flash

There are two files that come with the ROM and idk which is which.

I mean which is for the SN and which is for the IMEI

BPLGUInfoCustomAppSrcP_MT6752_S00_MOLY_LR9_W1423_MD_LWTG_MP_V39_1_ltg_n
BPLGUInfoCustomAppSrcP_MT6752_S00_MOLY_LR9_W1423_MD_LWTG_MP_V39_1_lwg_n

Also btw, i only managed to flash it with the SP flash tool from iOcean (the older version) as on Windows 8.1 it was giving me not responding window. I have no idea why. Loaded the scatter file from the folder, selected FORMAT ALL+ DOWNLOAD and ta-daaaa. Download only or upgrade didn't work for me.

So far the ROM moves great, wifi connects instantly i just have those two issues.
[Android General] miljenko:
Ok I have glashed my M6752 using Firmware upgrade option and I have not loosed my IMEI or SN.

Phone is fast and snappy, camera is interpolated to 15MPx with full screen (16:9) format, with standard Lollipop launcher and lock screen.

GAPPS are not included and FM transmitter software is installed but not functional since there is no hardware. Tap to wake is not working at all, I mean there is option in settings but probably kernel option is not properly compiled.

I found this in few minutes of using, could be more issues in the firmware, but what to expect, this is still beta. Overall very good and fast firmware
[Android General] miljenko:
One me thing doesn't work that make phone unusable, sound not working.
[Android General] Calugarar:
So the program MAUI META helped me restore my IMEI and SN, remember the IMEI should be without the trailing number (in my case it was 8).

- Start program

- power off phone

- remove battery

- plug in USB

- select Options > Connect Smart Phone in META mode

- hit reconnect

- put battery back in to phone (at this stage you should hear windows detecting your phone and you should have the drivers installed)

- close the popped up window that has update parameter

- look for barcode download > input your SN number > Download to flash, shouldn't take more than a couple of seconds

- look for IMEI download > input IMEI for both SIMs > Download to flash

- unplug everything

- reboot phone (i do it by removing the battery and putting it back)

- check if you have IMEI ( *#06# ) and SN (*#66#) and look for SN in the list, tap that and there should be your SN

- celebrate
[Android General] miljenko:
Bravoooo
[Android General] Calugarar:
Haha, thanks. Lollipop does looks good and moves fast. Too bad it's a long way from being finished :/ I just don't get it why they are taking so long to finish it.
[Android General] miljenko:
Strange problem on lollipop (one more), if I adjust TWRP to work on 5.1, change kernel, there is no touch. It seems that kernel is not good. If I port Carliv CWM recovery phone keeps rebooting when recovery is loaded.
[Android General] Calugarar:
Did you get a logcat Dump?
[Android General] miljenko:
As far as I know logcat doesn't work in the recovery. If anybody knows anything more about this issue I will be grateful.
[Android General] cmana:
phone does not power on

I received my m6752 a few days ago. after unboxing it and some testing with the settings, camera etc, I left it charging for a couple of hours. When I tried to use it, it was completely dead. I removed the battery, placed it back, tried to power on - nothing, the phone does not start. Tried to connect it to my PC, it's not recognized. Can anyone suggest a solution please?

ps I tested the battery, it's charged
[Android General] MucMurdo76@gmail.com:
Strength of network signal is very low on phone

Recently I purchased M6752 from China. I found a problem with this phone. Strength of network signal is very low in most cases, sometime is zero. It is not a problem with the service provider as my second phone works well.

I corresponded with iOcean Service regarding it. They recommend sending my phone to them for checking and fixing if required. However, this would take a very long time.

So, please, I wonder if someone else had the same problem, and if it is possible to fix it. Local technicians suggest it is antenna problem.

Thank you,

Edward from Cyprus
[Android General] miljenko:
I would return phone for warranty.
[Android General] miljenko:
If it is antenna, repair it by yourself. I would contact seller before repairing anything to get they agreement, so in the case of further problems you can get warranty.
[Android General] MucMurdo76@gmail.com:
Strength of network signal is very low on phone

Thanks.

I would try to repair with help of technicians. The only problem is that, as they said, they need related spare part - antenna. There is no way to get it here.
[Android General] miljenko:
Antenna is a piece of aluminum foil over plastic. Technician can easily find break if there is one, no need for spare part. Or it can be bad contact between antenna and mainboard.
[Android General] Calugarar:
I read that other people have issues with charging the device, make sure it isn't something silly like the contacts on the battery being taped up ... i once had that. Ask the reseller for your money back or send the phone to them for repair. If it all fails, talk to iOcean.

My money is on the fact that the antennae got knocked out of it's socket, but if it is interrupted they should send you a new one. They tend to respond faster on Facebook rather than email. Try the official page here or community facebook group here. You should do as miljenko said and contact them first.
[Android General] MucMurdo76@gmail.com:
Thank you for the information. At least, I know what is this about. I made some observations - even at the main provider office the signal sometime is 3G, another time it is very weak G.
[Android General] Stalker_OMS:
Almost the same problem. Ancient equipment of provider or signal streght. * # * # 4636 # * # * select band WCDMA only
[Android General] MucMurdo76@gmail.com:
Thanks. I will try.

Ancient equipment of provider is there, however, my second phone with the same telephone number and the same provider works well. This is why I blame on this new phone.
[Android General] miljenko:
iOcean have promised final version of Lollipop 5.1 to be available tomorrow. I believe that we will find some more flows in the firmware but since this is considered as RC or official version, OTA will be operational and we can get fixes quickly.
[Android General] stapo101:
Do you know of a way to root the new Rom? I have tried kingroot, towelroot, root genius but no luck. I think we need a custom recovery. What are the chances? ;)
[Android General] miljenko:
Good chances!!! ;)

http://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-2-8-6-0-lollipop/

Made by me. Tested and working without problems.
[Android General] stapo101:
Good work my friend. Very fast. I will try it out and let you know.

UPDATE: Yep. Works very well and I now have my 5.1 Rock rooted using SuperSU.zip. You're the man.
[Android General] miljenko:
I was trying to fix BETA release and thus I had everything decompiled and in the pieces on my desktop. First thing I did after install of the new firmware was to flash TWRP. If you like other recovery flavors (CWM, Carliv's, Phillz, Canibal) I will make them. If we have bigger community and more active users arround, I would make different firmware ports.
[Android General] stapo101:
Personally I'm very used to TWRP now so am more than happy that it's available.

I have to say, first impressions of this ROM is it is lightening fast. I have been using my Ecoo E04 3gb (MT6752 SoC) for the last few weeks waiting for the 5.x rom to come along for the rock. Now I will be happy to play with the iocean again for a bit.

Tell me, will you be planning on trying the Z1 when it comes out? It would be great to have someone like you there to help with recovery etc when that one comes out.
[Android General] miljenko:
I would like to try Z1 once it is out, but that depends on finances. Will see, still not sure.
[Android General] miljenko:
For root on Lollipop just flash latest SuperSU 2.49 BETA and everything is OK

http://download.chainfire.eu/740/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip
[Android General] stapo101:
I understand, but that's what a "donate" button is for ;)

I have to say, other than the time it's taken for iocean to deliver on their promise of lollipop, I have been very impressed with the phone and that's what's got me interested in the Z1 - although I think a 2k screen is probably a mistake.
[Android General] Calugarar:
Why don't you just become a dev for them and get the unit to work on ;)

Btw, any issues with Lollipop? I was wondering if i can upgrade to it safely without losing data on it.
[Android General] lasantaloans:
No Scatter Files
[Android General] miljenko:
Backup all data from your phone since partition table is a bit changed and internal memory is formatted during firmware install. Anyway use option "Firmware update" in SP Flash Tool. I have not found any issues until now, except front camera have strange tint. Everything is blazing fast.
[Android General] Calugarar:
I used TitaniumBackup to backup my Google Authenticator keys. Just an advice, if when importing the backups TitaniumBackup doesn't recognize the backup file, make sure that the file ends with a *.TiBkp and not *.tibkp, or else it won't recognize it ...

So far i couldn't test much, the phone is indeed fast wondering how it'll impact the battery life as well. The only crash i had was with smartlock -> trusted face. Can't seem to set it up without it crashing.

Where is autobrightness? I only found the slider.

Thanks for the recovery & root, they work well. Those that are asking what scatterfile to use, use the one that came with L 5.1 ROM.
[Android General] miljenko:
Trusted Face crash can be connected with front cam driver. As I said in my post before, front camera is a bit strange.

Autobrighness is in display section, something like autoadaptive brightness or similar.
[Android General] Mr.Castle2099:
Thanks for the Recovery and root instructions!

I actually would be interested in different Roms.

But I think most people would love love love to get a better gps accuracy (since it now tends to jump around). Iocean doesn't say anything about that, and I don't know if it is possible, i.e. if it is a software are hardware issue.
