Hi, I can't do any in-app-purchases on my phone. When I want to buy premium in an app it says it can't connect to google play, although my internet connection is fine. I have the latest version of google play services (7.0.99), not using any custom ROM and i am rooted. Anyone else having the same problem or any ideas what's going wrong?
[Device Reviews and Information] Danacy:

I didn't hear about it before. But I found this on the issue:

Connectivity requirements to use Google Play

https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2651367?hl=en

check if time/date are correct

settings-apps- play store and clear cache and data, then reboot and try again

That rom that was supposed to be lollipop for 2gb, is actually with same number as lollipop update for 3gb (dated 040315) but still is kitkat)

Still worth upgrading on 2gb model (uncheck preloader, recovery and userdata) because of dramatically improved batterylife: normally a day at work, after day has 50%-65% battery left (2 sim cards with root, greenify, smart radio and amplify), today after first day of use still 75% left with ABOUT the same usage, but without all of the battery saving methods mentioned above (4g and dual sim is a real battery drainer!)

Hi All,

I've found this post about CWM recovery. Could someone provide a detailed description of the order of steps to make?

I've never had a cellphone with MTK chip-set, and I wouldn't like to screw it up.

Maybe this description could be inserted into the first post of the thread.

Thank you very much!

I bought ECCo Aurora E04 mobile from aliexpress and now iam facing strange problem..everything works fine except detecting my sim networks which is crucial one.when i insert card some how it manages to identify what cards are in it like airtel and idea but it fails to get network on.....it shows emergency calls sim network not detected.Did you face any problem like that since you might also used Indian sim cards and can you specify any specific kinda sims only work in this mobile..or iam i facing any software bug? is it looks like IMEI issue,do i :( need to get new valid IMEI number
[Device Reviews and Information] dl4all:
I didn't face this problem when i recieved the Phone. but

How to Change IMEI:

1) Dial *#*#3646633#*#*

2) Connectivity

3) CDS information

4) Radio Information

5) For Phone 1: Input IMEI in this format: AT +EGMR=1,7,”IMEI SIM1” (Space between AT & +)

7) Tap on the SEND AT COMMAND, if successful you should see a success report of "AT COMMAND sent" at the bottom of the screen

8) Restart and use *#06# to confirm if it has changed

9) For Phone 2: Input IMEI in this format: AT +EGMR=1,10,"IMEI SIM2" (Space between AT & +)

10) Tap on the SEND AT COMMAND, if successful you should see a success report of "AT COMMAND sent" at the bottom of the screen

11) Restart and use *#06# to confirm if it has changed

Good luck.
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
I have been a big defender of this phone and have also disagreed about the quality of the camera, however, I have been doing some side by side comparisons between the E04 and the iOcean M6752. Both have similar spec cameras (iOcean is listed as 14mp). I have to say the quality of the detail in the photos from the iOcean is far superior to that of the the E04. When I take the same photo at distance using both cameras and then zoom in to a distant object on the finished photo there is a lot more blurriness, ghosting and artifacts on the E04 photo compared with the iOcean which remains very sharp and crisp. I don't think it's software related, I just don't think the camera in the E04 is up to scratch. It takes perfectly passable photos, but when compared with other similar camera's you can tell the difference in my opinion.

I certainly have a soft spot for the E04 and have spent a lot of time wrangling it in to a much more usable phone using Viper4Android, xposed etc but in all honesty, since updating my iOcean with the 5.1 ROM I have come to realize how streets ahead the iOcean is. The 5.1 Rom is lightening fast, it never gets hot in the same way as the E04, the ROM seems to be much better optimized to the phone, for example, when I look at memory usage with no apps open it is rarely over 1.2gb of the 3gb available whereas the the E04 often showed closer to 2GB of the available 3GB of memory being used up by the OS itself.

Same problem here. Can`t change anything.

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

What I can tell you is that I am using 4.4 Rom version. Don`t know if there is any diference from 4.4 to 5.1 Roms on Cam quality.

I already had several phones and I can tell you that I got similiar results between this phone and ZTE Nubia Z7 Mini (this one had Sony IMX 214 sensor). I still prefer Nubia Z7 pictures but... I really like the results of Ecoo.

[Device Reviews and Information] reflection1:
Thanks for your help, these app & settings have resolved my problems with the camera (green and white vertical lines in the dark). So it is now sure that it comes from the original software of the camera, and not the camera itself !

Hi Axel,

Sorry for the delayed response. The wifi list is generated when there is any wifi available in the location. But at places where there is no wifi which i can confirm with my LG G2, My Ecoo says wifi available and there's nothing in the wifi list.

Hey dude

You couls try a wifi monitor app from the store. I use wifi analizer and with this tool you could check if it is software (rom) related.

I found another way to root the phone.

This is on Android 5 (tested on build 28 May)

I am not 100% sure it will do this for all your phones, but it worked for me so im posting this.

After installing the recovery from the spacerom, boot into the recovery, select the last option reboot, there select system, then an option came for me install supersu and root the phone, slide the slider in the bottom and it will reboot the phone, a new app will be installed called SuperSU Installer, open it, select the TWRP option in the bottom right (THIS NEEDS WIFI), it will download a 40mb file, then it will tell you to select reboot, click reboot, and it will install supersu and root the phone and reboot back into android.

The phone is then rooted. Checked with root checker.

EDIT: This is the 3GB model.
[Device Reviews and Information] Valter84:
What app did you use to root the phone? I beleive it`s the root method that is causing the cpu options not showing on 3C toolbox.

I tried SetCpu and it say`s It can`t find root despite I had granted root to the app with Kingo Root. :( :crying:

---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

I can confirm, it was caused by root app. Kingo root doesn`t work.

Rooting with iroot solved the problem and I was able to change cpu freq on 3c toolbox.

Thanks for sharing.

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------

Thank you for your explanation, if it possible edit your post with the info that the phone needs to be rooted with iRoot, with Kingo root it doesn`t work.

I have a question, I have set the powersaver and the max freq to 1.16, set the init.d changes and reboot the phone. After booting i open the 3c toolbox and I can see my changes setted but I can see the cpu reaching the 1.85ghz.

So, what diference does this make?
[Device Reviews and Information] Valter84:
Thanks [MENTION=6770525]Phonememe[/MENTION]

I will try that root method and post the result.

Just one, question. Will that recovery also work on android 4.4? Hm....
[Device Reviews and Information] Phonememe:
Hmm don't think spacerom twrp work in 4.4, but when I tried kitkat 4.4 I use this TWRP and it works flawlessly

http://www.needrom.com/download/e04/

same method to flash like what I listed above.
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
TBH, i just posted the same thing just before you and without steps. :D
[Device Reviews and Information] Valter84:
Hello [MENTION=6770525]Phonememe[/MENTION]

Thank you very much for all your explanations and effort.

I was able to install TWRP recovery and super user. The root is working but every time I reboot the phone or if I open the upser user app it says that the modules needs to be updated. I tried to update the modules with TWRP but the message doesn`t dessapear. Any way... it`s working.

About 3C Toolbox, it remains the same behavior I told you before. If i reboot the phone and open the app and go to cpu manager I can see that the top frequency reached is the one I have setled, but if I for example press the Time or governator tab and go back to CPU I can see the CPU reaching the 1.86ghz several times.

I don`t know if it`s related with android kit kat, root not properly finished, or because I am using older 3C toolbox pro version.

EDIT: I already tried the 3C toolbox you had on your post but the same result. Also, I noticed that may freq. bar where I can set the max are gray and on your print screen they are blue.

I am really happy with the phone. The screen is great, and the pics look stunning. What made a big diference to me with battery life was the Amplify and greenify!

Any way, I am thinking to give a try to android 5. What version do you recomend? Latest version available on Ecoo website, Vibe, something else?

Thank you!
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
I recommend the latest version on the ecoo official site, that is build 20150528.
[Device Reviews and Information] Valter84:
Thank you one more time [MENTION=6770525]Phonememe[/MENTION].

I installed the 5.0 version available on Ecoo site and I can already see the changes made on 3C toolbox working, despite init.d isn`t working. Don`t know why, says "operation failed" when I press the button to update the init.d on 3C toolbox. And it`s installed, active and verified.

Now I will take a bit of time but I will have to setup the phone with my stuff.

2 Questions - There isn`t battery percetage info available in stock?

Why when we press the power button there is now way to change sound profile? I hope I can add it somehow...

May the force be with you!
[Device Reviews and Information] Phonememe:
Great hope everything works well. For the init.d, if you are able to find this file filename 99_at_01_cpu with the cpu settings inside system/etc/init.d, than you should be fine.

For the battery percentage and change media, alarm and ringtone sound I use xposed with gravity box module. Follow this guide below:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61446577&postcount=717

As usual do a backup in TWRP first before installing xposed.

Hey guys

I noticed that the sound of the audio from the speakers has a very poor quality.

There are two output speakers placed on the bottom side, but when i cover the right speaker with my thumb, i hear no direct audio feom the left speaker.. Just seems like the left speaker is fake and i only hear the covered right speaker sound.

Anyone else have this? I wonder if the rom or hardware tweaks like engeneermode might have something to do with it.

[Device Reviews and Information] Phonememe:
The link provided by Rathi1985 seem to solved the -505 error.

https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=1668

The steps:

1. Install app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funtrigger.appinstaller&hl=pl and launch it.

2. Select your bugged app from list and uninstall.

3. Now you should install your app in proper way.

It seems like Apps where package name begins with air will cause this error.

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

Ya confirmed that this phone has only 1 speaker on the right, I think left speaker opening is just to let the sound out a little if you happens to cover the right speaker opening when playing games. the sound is indeed horrible and using viper4android improves a little but still not good. But I only use headset and viper4android improves the headset sound quality by alot so is ok for me.

[Device Reviews and Information] Alxnks:
hello guys,

i had ordered 2 ecoo e04 plus phones. one came 2.5 weeks ago with official 4.4.4 rom and the second came today with 5.0 (28-05-2015) rom.

how do they compare? i ve seen comments about heavy ram usage in 5.0...is it that much of a problem?

what i instantly saw though is that in the drop down menu of 4.4.4 rom there is the hotknot activator, as is in the settings menu. in the 5.0 rom however, i could not locate the hotknot function anywhere! how come? did they take it out in lollipop?

lollipop rom can be rooter and also install twrp?

since i have 2 phones with the 2 official roms installed, should i download the roms from the phones and use them to lets say upgrade the 4.4.4 one or downgrade the 5.0 one? or should i stick to downloading the roms either from ecoo website or from needrom for example?

thank you!
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
i think its better that one stays with kitkat and the other stays with lollipop. u can have the best of both worlds(roms actually in this situation :P). I see what you mean, the hotknot is missing. I will check and see where it is. in my phone the ram usage is not bad, i have 1.3gb free almost everytime. system only take 0.99gb and app take about 400mb. Rest is always free for me no issues over there.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to observe unsharp camera in distance shots. Made me finally take the time to reinstall the 2015-04-10-Kitkat firmware. I'm even more glad to report that this issue is gone again - it's a bug in 2015-05-28 Lollipop firmware! :)

Just to give some head ups: Download SPFlashTool, the 2015-04-10-firmware, fetch a _good_ micro usb cable and flash the firmware. Had to test three different cables to finally get through the flashing process; before the phone disconnected during the process, mostly at 90% (exactly 0.99GByte shown, which made me believe in all kinds of problems due to file size first).
[Device Reviews and Information] Alxnks:

Did you try recent Kingroot 4.1 apk already for rooting?

http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461

Worked like charme (well, kind of) on my re-installed Kitkat ROM. First root apps were crashing, but removing that weird chinese additional app at the end of the app drawer, granting access to the apps in question and rebooting the phone finally solved these issues.

As it has been updated to root some 5 / 5.1 phones as well, it may be worth testing.
