+1 for CDMA.

I've read this forum from page 1 till this page. Haven't found anything related to CDMA.

Just curious, is it possible to reconfig the network to CDMA-GSM? To be detail, CDMA 800 Mhz with EvDo Rev B.

Currently, I am using ZTE N986, which is a CDMA-GSM phone (MT6859 + VIA CBD 8.2). I am happy with my CDMA ISP and want my next phone to be CDMA-GSM also.

The problem is in my country, there is only 2 CDMA operators left, and the other one is dying (no internet support anymore). So, the only hope for CDMA-GSM phone comes from the sole indirect CDMA monopoly ISP (which I'm using right now). Their latest phone really dissappointing, where MSM8916 (snap 410) is the highest spec. I was looking for MSM8939 with CDMA-GSM enabled, and one of them is this Blade S6.

Several days ago, I just know from our local forum, that MSM8939 along with the new waves of qualcomm SoC have integrated modem inside. Means the SoC support all variant of network, the limitation is in the ROM (software based) itself. The guy tells me that he reconfig the Yu Yureka (which is MSM8939 based also) to support CDMA-GSM as well. But he hasn't show me the way yet. Just tipping that he replace some kind of the bin file from MSM8939 CDMA phone and edit the configuration. No other detailed information available anymore.

That's why I am looking for a way to reconfig the network to CDMA-GSM. And if it is possible, this phone will be close to perfect to be my next phone.

Anyone experienced in this field?

Thanks In Advance for the answer.

It is possible to edit several files in order for this feature to work like in the nexus 6 But I think it makes no sense, because the display is not amoled
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Elroy Butz:
I was just curious about ambient display as I had it running on my moto g 2014, so I guess wrongly assumed it was a part of stock lollipop.

Visual glitch on lockscreen

Just wondering if you guys get this as well - haven't had it happen on other phones with Lollipop I've used. On the far top right of the screen on the stock lock screen, the profile picture is there. As soon as I plug the phone in to charge via any method the profile picture disappears and won't come back until a reboot. This happens every time without fail. See images below.

Cheers

CWM Recovery

need help for the share recovery Cwm ZTE Blade s6, I want to backup the original firmware :o
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xac53:
there have not for the time custom recovery for blade s6, sorry
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] x1123:
AFAIK you can create custom recovery by using a boot.img at cwm generator web sites. Just pool stock boot.img and upload to cwm sites.

Just so you know - Response from ZTE Australia

Hi all,

Dean here from ZTE Australia. Quick response to the mentions of our Australian (AU) Edition of the ZTE Blade S6.

Yes it is different. very different. We changed hardware to allow the frequency bands that we wanted for Australian users. We had to drop 900MHz 3G as it was too messy to get the bands we needed to work well together in the project time frame. We did add 700MHz LTE Band 28 too.

Software wise we stripped out Miflavor UI and some other third party apps. In Australia we like vanilla Android builds and experiences for users. As we were 4 months after the Global version we got the newer base build and OS. We opt'd not to wait for 5.1 as it was too much of an unknown and we wanted stability. And Yes, we made our device flat memory wise and we like it so much we are doing it to all new local devices now.

As for updates - none are planned, device has only been out for 3wks and we wait for a couple of months before evaluating all the reported issues and comments to see if there is any need to change anything. So we will wait and see.

Any issues or questions message me as I don't have time often enough to do regular checks here on XDA, but I also look after all the ZTE Australia social media so you can contact me on Facebook, G+, twitter, instagram or the Australian zte mobiles website.

Cheers,

Dean - ZTE Australia

For guys with root, did you disable/unistall some pre-installed apps?

I unistalled the stock launcher (I use Smart Launcher), Mi-pop and all google apps like, music, books, movies, etc. Everything looks good.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Elroy Butz:
I use Nova Launcher. I uninstalled a few things. Mainly though I wanted SD card access but I can't figure out how to get that working?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uriens:
You should give a name to the SD Card with your PC (connect it as storage), then use SD Card Fix available on the Store and you should be able to save files on SD card with any 3d party app (except for FX Explorer which gives some problems to me).

Caution with gearbest.com

Just be careful, gearbest screwed me over instead of dispatch the phone from some european warehouse, they shipped it from China. They did not even answer my question, why they shipped from China when i'm from EU.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] IceTea7:
My phone came from China, too, but I haven't ordered it with shipping from Europe so I can't say something to this.

Battery life sux and screen not great, I like more Nubia ZTE z7 mini from my gf

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Billa77:
Hello I bought mine from Ebay (51buyworld) shipped from France and delivered in 3 days.

Played around with it and must say nice phone, slim, light nice photos..... It was also ZTE_AS_Blade_S6V1.0.0B07. I googled around in china and found somewhere (sorry tried again but are unable to deliver the exact hyperlink) in the chinese section of ZTEsupport used with Google translate 2015021310111673.zip which included the file ZTE Blade S6 Upgrade Guide (Through an SD Card).pdf and the update.zip.

In the .pdf file I could read:

A. Normal upgrade (the primary upgrade method)

1) Download the upgrade package that matches the phone model from ZTE ztedevice from the support, extract update.zip from the package, and copy update.zip to the root directory of the SD card, see Figure 2-1.

2) Select File Manager>SD CARD and verify that the update.zip file in the SD card, see Figure 2-2.

3) Click Home key to return to home screen and subsequently click Menu key>SETTINGS>About phone > System updates>Storage card updates. see Figure 2-3.

After the phone is upgraded, it is rebooted again. After the phone starts properly, it is recommended to manually restore the phone to its original factory default settings by selecting SETTINGS > Backup & reset > Factory data reset to enhance the system stability. The phone is upgraded properly and can be used.

B. Forced upgrade (for the phones that cannot be started or the phones that cannot enter standby state)

1) For a powered-off phone, press and hold both the volume key + and power key until the phone shakes once. Then the phone will enter into “Android system recovery”.

2) Press the volume key - to select apply update form sdcard, and press the power key to confirm it.

3) Choose update.zip to start update. The phone completes the upgrade process in about three minutes.

4) On the Upgrade Complete screen,

Since I had made a backup from my Stock installation including the apps and settings before updating, I could see that 3 applications where more recent than the backup.

I am searching now the "hidden" Developer>USB Debugging Option, but cannot find it in the settings in order to root the beast but do not want to brick it either, its for my wife. I will continue and use my old X310e alias Zoppo 100 alias xperia with its russian rom...:)

Update: Gearbest replied back, it's realy coming from China

Thanks so much for contacting us.

Our colleagues in Europe don’t send it to you, so we send it from China. Please do not worry that it is sent by regular mail and there is a much lower customs duties by Registered Flat Rate Shipping than by DHL or EMS. If the customs duties are unacceptable for you when the carrier delivery to your house, please refuse the parcel and let him send back. And then we contact our colleagues in Europe to manage to send your order again.

Have a nice day!

If there are any additional queries, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will do our very best to serve you.

Thanks and Best Regards

They have no idea about custom duties, if i will send a phone back, it will take forever to get this phone.

For unhidden the developer section just click 7 times on ZTE_AS...

But no 800MHz LTE with the Nubia, so for Germany you won't get a good LTE reception!

And what is bad about battery life? I got >2 days with 4h display-on an 1 day with ~6h display-on!
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] supercowz:
This phone support 800mhz LTE!!
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] slawoko:
Are you sure? According the amazon datasheet there should be 800MHZ support:

4G: LTE: B3/B7/B8/B20(1800/2600/900/800MHz)

Hence until now I ´ve never seen 4G at my display with vodafone germany

PS: I have two nano SIM, one Vodafone and one Congstar. Check both with ZTE Blade S6-->>no LTE till now. Corsscheck with an amazon Fire Phone -->>Display shows LTE with each of both SIMs

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] IceTea7:

Yeah yeah lol

Nubia great but no 800mhz

Blade s6 with 800mhz but soso phone and crappy battery

We need blade s7 with better quality/screen/battery ... A good mix... From s6 and mini
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nForce:
Here also no problem at all with Vodafone Germany. I only can't promise it's 800MHz, but since Vodafone Germany has mostly 800MHz I think 800MHz works!

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] femilovechild:
So, decided to upgrade from my Nexus 4 to Blade S6. Got my phone from egrow (eBay), delivered in 2 days via DHL. Upgraded to B11, fixed tether on 3 as pointed out in previous posts in this thread, root via KingRoot. Tried changing to SuperSu as explained in previous posts, but just didnt work, so I'm stuck with KingRoot at the moment. Experience so far, not a bad phone. My gripe with it is the structuring of the internal storage. Why in God's name will they partition it so as to only have 4GB for installing apps in this day and age? Really limits the way one uses the internal storage for app installation, and the write to external SD card bug is annoying, though its fixable. If the internal storage was like the Nexus 4, I would be over the moon now.

now that we have root this device should be worth building one and getting a dedicated forum area.

i know that there is still the locked bootloader but we have root and the kernel source.

unfortunately i don't have the time atm dig into this further but me and some others would surely donate some money and be happy to test if someone would try to build a custom recovery.

let me know what you think.

I also think that custom recovery and a custom kernel would be amazing to improve the phone.

Did someone install BetterBatteryStats? I noticed a kernel wakelock named "cwmcu-wake-lock" which is often using the CPU. It should be related to sensors but I have found no other info. It seems to cause an high discrepancy between screen on time and awake time, at least I cannot figure out other reasons. I have gestures off, totally useless to me.
