I have Piston 2 (v2, so actually 2.1), the build quality is good, if not great, the mic is good, sound quality is excellent for the price, but they don't have good noise cancellation (you can easily hear everything in noisy environment). The shape is a bit uncomfortable though, personally at the beginning it literally made my ear bleed (made a little wound), might be because of my ear shape or sensitivity, because my boyfriend didn't have such problems. However, both of us agree that they are slightly uncomfortable to wear for a longer period of time. You might want to try (Xiaomi) Piston 3 or Umi Voix. They sport a much better desing and what I read in reviews, they are slightly better in sound quality over Piston 2.

And for keyboard I recommend either stock Xperia keyboard (which can be found here on xda) or SwiftKey. The stock Meizu one is pure cancer.

Skype Video Calls Working?

Hello Everyone,

Im having this device for two days now and love everything about it except for some UI elements and low sound(not the quality),

I updated to latest Flyme 4.2.0.5A and I got everything set up till I saw that video calling on skype isn't working. Only the rear camera is working.

This is a really really really frustrating situation. I gave all the permissions to the skype app and put it to autostart but no luck. and tried opening the camera app and activating the front camera before starting skype but no luck.

anyone having these issue? if not can you please tell me what firmware are you on.

thanks.

I'm loving the responses & active fanbase here, I tried to get into the imeizu world but even with chrome translating the site its pretty overwhelming.

I had a pair of JVC XX bass in ear buds and they are amazing. I decided to go back to google keyboard, I used to use wnn keyboard on my thl 5000 but I just got used to the google keyboard so I've stuck with that.

How is everyone finding the camera? I think the camera is pretty great, in my few days using the phone Ive found that the camera viewfinder to be of a lesser quality than the actual saved image - am I correct in thinking the live viewfinder shows the quality of the image before it's automatically interpolated?

[Device Reviews and Information] kchrz:
ROM

Hi there,

i have M1 Note for a week, i bring directly from China.

My Flyme version id 4.2.0.5U, so it is full of chinese apps, so many chinese notice.

Is there possible to change a rom from "U" to "I". I have red, that "I" version is without chinese apps.

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
No it's not.

From U, only change possible is to A version.

But, why you don't root it and disable any Chinese app you don't want?

It will take less time then to flash another Rom and then to install all your favorite app again.

Meizu M1 Note is my firs phone with Flyme. I always hat a clear android.

There is one thing, that really pis* me of with Flyme. You can not use keyboar with prediciton. If you use it, it is impossible to move with cursor.

So i can not use Swiftkey, in google keyboar i have to swith off prediciton. It is not so comfortable.

I found a tutorial, how to change a rom to 5.0 Lollipop on M1 Note, http://www.lollipop.rocks/mp3-0/meizu-m1-note-6890.html

Have someone try it?
[Device Reviews and Information] Krystyna:

I said. you can try it.

If you use Switkey or Google keyboard with prediciton, so with column of text, you can tap, you are not able to move a corsor in text, you just wrote. For example to correct mistakes.

If I use Google keyboard and switch off prediciton, so these bars with text, than i can now move with cursor in text.

It si written on some forums also.

for example here http://forum.meizu.com/redirect.php?tid=17498&goto=lastpost or here http://meizufans.eu/forum/thread-i-can-t-move-the-keyboard-cursor

Hi guys,

I looove this phone so much! It feels premium despite its price tag. Only thing i regret though was when i updated Flyme. Themes app went missing! This made it less cool as the only thing I can change are the walls. Anyway I can re-install the app? Maybe get the app package from another phone and install it on mine?

Hi, I recently purchased this phone from FCT and was accidentally (or so they say) shipped a Chinese "A" version of the handset. As far as I know, all versions of this handset, A U I, have the same hardware. I'm wondering if it would be at all possible to fully switch this phone over to an international "I" version of the handset, unlocking FDD 800Mhz? I know this would predominantly be down to the baseband of the device, but I'm not sure if there are any hardware dependencies, as MTK6752 should support FDD as is. From what I've read flashing an "I" firmware over an original "A" handset is simply not possible.
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
Hello,

No and as it's mentioned many times, you can't flash an I firmware to the Chinese model.

So, no way to unlock extra bands.

Unleashed by my M1 note
[Device Reviews and Information] MikusP:
Hi, Yeah, I acknowledged that in my post, thanks for confirming. My real question is, if the three device versions, the A, U, and I, are truly 1:1 in terms of hardware, surely there must be some process, even if it involves manually pushing files to the device, that can unlock the other bands available in the MTK6752?
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
I don't know if this is a rhetorical question.

The point is, that currently there is no such option.

I am sure that many people had the same question for the last months, but there is no solution.

Has anyone tried Google cardboard?

I got my m1 note yesterday and instantly fell in love with it. Although the bootloader is locker (I hope someone will find a way to get around that someday) flyme is a joy to use, kinda like miui but with more minimalistic feel to it. When I tried using goigle cardboard apps though, the display gets distorted with different colours of vertical lines. I think its a software issue though. Im using the latest "I" version. Anyone had the same issue?

It is my first time ordering a phone or a gadget over 50$ which has a warranty period and i never had any issue with those small items so I'm not very clear on the return/replacement process.

Anyhow i contacted Amazon care. First they ended up giving me Meizu's service centre nos which i noted down (begins with 82). After cutting the call i realised it was 11 digits and i couldn't call from my phone. Further go ogling showed me it was Meizu's HK nos :c

I called them again and they told me that Meizu had partnered with 'The Mobile Store' and if any problem happened i should contact there and they would repair /replace on Meizu's behalf. I called up 'The Mobile Store' and they said they aren't aware of any such thing.

So 8 months down the line if my phone stops working, i call up Amazon to claim up my warranty?

Install Xposed apk, in the app go to Framework, click Install/Update, reboot. Install Flyme Tools, enable it in Xposed Modules section, reboot. Done. For every change made in Flyme Tools (except home button remapping), you'll have to reboot your phone.

Hello everyone. I wanted to find out how to root this bad boy because I am tired of the keyboard pop up every time I use Google Keyboard on this phone. Also are there any ROMs available for this device? Also any tricks to getting Xposed installed on this phone?

Thanks in advance. I am a n00b when it comes to rooting/flashing Android devices.
[Device Reviews and Information] Okluzhion:
Create Meizu account, sign in with it in system Settings, click on your account and scroll to the bottom. There's a section called Admin Privileges or something like that, I don't remember the right name. Anyway, do what it says, and you'll be rooted in one click.

No tricks with Xposed. Just download it and install framework the normal way. Mods like GravityBox will only have few options that work, but there's a mod called Flyme Tools, made for Meizu. It's not in the Xposed repo, so just google it.

There are no custom ROMs because the bootloader is locked and Meizu hasn't provided the source code.

The battery is fine. From yesterday 8am with non stop working on a 100% brightness and (Themer, Skype,Facebook, non stop WiFi, e-mails, talking 60min sum, Viber, Camera, browsing and some other apps) it was on 51% at 2 am. I didn't charge it and now with the same stuff it's 21%. I use my phone a lot and my work is connected to it, so I am pleased with the battery life for now. :cyclops:

For the KK/LP thing. I am not so sure, cause I was using it for a day with the KK. But that notification thing is killing me and I didn't have the problem with the KK version. I saw a solution on the Meizu forum, but it worked only for Skype and the other messenger. Viber is still the same, I receive only when I open the program. :confused:

I have no problem with Gapps, but the clear Flyme was not my cup of tea, so I switched to Themer, like on my old Phone. Much better. If I had to choose again, I'll never upgrade to LP, KK-I was so much better. Those Chinese stuff inside are so annoying. :laugh:
