[MENTION=6917863]Tom_Thumb[/MENTION]; I ordered from Gearbest on July 8th, and did receive a free tpu case and glass screen protector.

Phone is for my wife, so didn't get to play with it much. But she really happy with the screen, battery life and the camera.

Viewed at 100% they are a bit grainy and noisy, but for use on social media and decent size prints they are fine. Color and lighting a good and focus is quick and sharp.

Not much more you can expect from a small low cost camera module, even if it is from Sony.

Hi guys, user experience and a rooting query! I got this phone a week ago, It is a bargain at the price point! battery is immense, I got 12 hours SOT wifi internet browsing, for example.

It has a few quirks though. The largest battery drain besides the screen is always 'phone idle'. In aeroplane mode it uses about 1%/hour. With data or wifi on it goes up to 2%/h. It's an enormous battery, so 1%/h in aeroplane mode is very significant. The battery life is still good, but losing 10% in five hours, means over an hour less SOT.

It also refuses to charge at over 500mah with any wall charger but the supplied one, which is only 1000mah. This means it takes over 7 hours to charge with a 2.1A wall charger! (With the supplied cable - which is 28/24 - or Anker 28/24 cable)

I'd like to root and get Better Battery Stats and CPU control. Thank you Ax1qer for your posts and info on rooting before even getting the phone!!

I have everything ready to go, but I get stuck. When phone is on, it connects fine. After removing battery and plugging the phone in to flash TWRP, it won't connect to the computer. It appears tentatively in device manager, along with a few yellow alert signs, then disappears.

What's going on here?? Thanks for any help!
[Android General] LoneWolfSK:
You need the drivers for the phone
[Android General] TomatoPro:
Thanks lonewolfsk, I already installed the drivers using PdaNet. Phone connects while the phone is on (device manager shows Android composite ADB interface), but not when off and battery out.

I installed the universal ADB driver from ax1qwer's post. Same problem

Hi, i have the same problem when I wanna use Google Maps or especially Maps Here from Nokia. As you said, when we have hard reset the compass is fixed but I also notice that this issue is back again when we want to reboot (like the ROM update) or turn off the phone. It is like the ROM boot forgot to run the magnetic sensor (or compass) correctly.

Edit : Problem solved with flashing the ROM from 03/08 with FLASHTOOLS. I thought the OTA update was effective but after returning in OTA menu it was still ROM from July. Now the compass works properly. I hope this will help :)

Hello, I lost IMEI after flashing my MLAIS MX. I made backup before flashing, but without nvram :silly:. Could anyone save my life and release nvram backup? :rolleyes:
[Android General] drait:
Had the same problem, solved it using Uncle Mobile.
[Android General] Ax1qwer:
Maybe I am wrong, but I think you can not use nvram from other phone, because you would have same IMEI number.

btw: Lost nvram ? how ? no custom roms avialiable yet for our phone.
[Android General] M.Mike:
Didn't worked - Uncle said "NO SUPPORT".

I was thinking about recover someones nvram backup and than manually change IMEIs to mine.

Finally, I changed IMEI manually in engineer mode. On this phone work command "AT +" (with space between "AT" and "+") :)

So - problem solved :)

[Android General] robin-sips:
for imei, you need root, then use the following code in dailer, to enter hidden MTK developer menu: *#*#3646633#*#*

go to cds information, radio info, then take sim 1 aka phone1

enter the folowing code:

AT +EGMR=1,7,"imeifromthebackofyourphone1"

then the same for phone 2

AT +EGMR=1,10,"imeifromthebackofyourphone2"

imei can be found under the battery on the sticker.

message that returns when you enter the code needs to be "ok"

reboot your phone, now you have working sim activity again, but be prepaired, you just made your GPS going nuts, only work when using 3G only, when LTE is enabled GPS isnt working anymore (bug from mlais rom.... )

regards,

Robin

Is Xposed and Gravitybox working on this phone?

Gesendet von meinem XT1039 mit Tapatalk
[Android General] boreas21:
Both are working fine. I have installed them today. I have been using the phone since yesterday morning and everything's working fine.

First update the phone and then install custom recovery and root.

The phone is really good. Remote control is working fine and found my TV quickly.

There is small problem with the upper site. The display doesn't suit well/ is bad assembled. The shipping back to China will take really long and antelife want to charge me for repairing/replacement. That's why I am going to open the phone and to see what can be fixed.

I recommend the phone. The display needed to be set. In Mira Vision/User Mode and one can play with the settings.

Black is not the black in the world but can be made better.

GPS is working fine. There is glonass also.

Good luck to the (future) owner!

SW 0819 - device was not turning on for alarming. Also - no any special settings for "Turn device on for alarm" in Clock settings or other menus (Like my old Motorola XT928). Also - there is no sound and(or) vibro at alarm time if flip case was closed. Only visual indication in cover window :confused:
[Android General] antimos:
My phone has also displayproblems, same image as above appeared during navigation, furthermore, from time to time the display flickers, also very annoying.

I'm not sure what causes the strange behaviour, maybe it has something to do with a bad connection on the screen?

Are there more users among us with the same problem? If it's hardware related, Mlais should offer a refund or exchange option....

This weird behaviour made me to go back to my "old" Redmi 1S and use that one as my daily driver....

battery draining overnight

hello all, i'm having problems with the battery. I have a low use of the phone: various mails, whatsaap messages, one or two calls, and maybe 15 minutes of web browsing per day.

With such a level of use, I expected the battery would last three or four days at least, but It lasts only 34-36 hours. It drains overnight at a 3-4 % per hour.

I've rooted the phone in order to install some app to get a bit more of info abot the battery usage.

some of you have the same problem with the battery?
[Android General] Opty2:
It's a bug. When you installed app that can access to your contacts (ex. whatsapp, facebook, etc), will crash when you edited.

The only way it's disabled all the apps (ex. whatsapp, telegram...), edit the contact, and enabled.

Or save your contacts in google account and edited by a PC.

I wish that mlais solve this bug in the next rom.

My problems

My problems:

1. Microphone on speaker mode is unusable(very quiet so people can't hear me).

2. Taking a video results are very bad - the image is very blurry.

3. double tap is too sensitive - keeps on turning on when in my pocket.

4. playing videos or youtube sound is very low.

5. Battery life is ok but not as good as expected from such a big battery.

6. For some reason the back flashlight goes off randomly.

All on last rom(but I suspect the OTA updates are not exactly the same as installing the rom itself)
[Android General] tminus3:
Anyone else noticed camera quality taken a hit with the last ota update?

My wife was happy with the photo quality before, but now all (indoor) pictures look blurry and have zero detail because of noise reduction. Definitely a lot worse then before.

Someone using a 3rd party camera app that gives better results?
[Android General] Ax1qwer:
tminus3: read here: http://www.mlais.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=4430&extra=page=1&page=1

We know camera quality is bad. It will be fixed in next OTA update, or you can reflash your phone manually via flashtool from Mlais website with correct camera parameters.
[Android General] boreas21:
I have the same issue like many others. Recently I found this - ww w.needrom.com/download/mlais-mx-base/ - read the comment below. I haven't use the Mlais' flash tool and my value is also default (be entering *#*#114#*#*)

I am just wondering if one can change this settings. It should be possible. The question is which file need to be modified.
[Android General] Opty2:
Camera in macro mode it's decent, good shape and deep of field, but in landscape, very poor.

Works fine for "social share".

I am waiting for the next mx base OTA. Mlais should be support this really good phone.

Hey guys.

Got my phone a few days ago and now have it rooted and running 20150819 build.

My problem is when i mount the phone on my computer, and then dismount it, all my playlists in poweramp get emptied. I still see the NAME of the playlist, but the actual tracks are all cleared. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I think it has something to do with the way the SD card is mounted. When i dont have a SD card in the phone, it treats the internal memory as SDcard0(in ESfileexplorer) but when there is an SD card, the SD card is treated as SDcard0, and the internal as SDcard1. My guess is that when it mounts the phone on a computer, it swaps back to the internal storage being SDcard0, and breaks all the playlists files. Totally a guess, since my old phone did not do that, and never had this issue pop up.

I also noticed that when you try to mount the phone from the USB mass storage page, when you tap the "turn on USB storage", it asks if you want to turn OFF storage, rather than turn it on(and by clicking OK, you do indeed turn it on)

Also, does anyone know what adaway host/resource will stop youtube ads?
[Android General] tracktrick:
I dont have ads on youtube with adaway.
[Android General] Kevin_truest:
Could you tell me what adaway hosts you're using? I get one of those 15 second ads every 2 or 3 youtube video links i click on(that launches the youtube app, not in-browser).

Coudl you also test out if mounting your phone as a USB drive on your PC breaks your playlists? Or if your phones internal memory shows up as SDcard1 in ESfileexplorer(then switches to SDcard0 if you dismount your SD card)
[Android General] tracktrick:
Here are my settings.
[Android General] zijin_cheng:

Also yes, it breaks root.
[Android General] Opty2:
I'm trying the new 02/11 ROM.

I feel....:

- Double tap and gestures works fine!

- Better camera quality. Not a miracle, because the camera sensor it's low end, but now, don't appears any "fog" or noise (daylight) on the pics. Good work for Mlais. Also, video quality it's more fine.

- Bug contacts editing are solve.

- For first time, compass works! Now, indicates North properly haha. Also, apps like google earth or google sky map shows the correct orientation.

- Better wifi conecction. I think thats the signal are stronger and no random stopping work

- Battery perfomance improved (I think) -> 100 to 94% with 1 hour and 08 minutes SOT! Awesome.

- The system runs very fast (like the previous rom).

- For non-english users: now all the options are 100% translate (at least in spanish).

Good work Mlais :)

And did you flash the ROM or ota. Thx
[Android General] Kevin_truest:
Thanks Opty2. Any info if this breaks root?

Also, something i noticed yesterday. If i am watching youtube and the video ends, i still head static in the background with my headphones. It cuts out maybe 3 seconds after the audio ends, but its still annoying. Anyone else have that problem, and does it persist after the update?

Another thing, does it still ask you to "turn off storage" when you try to enable it while plugged into a USB port? Kind of a stupid thing, but it annoys me, and i'm not sure why so many chinese phones have this problem(My old Doogee phone did it too, though it was solved with a ota)
[Android General] decayed.cell:
Can you post camera samples please?
[Android General] Ax1qwer:
You must have unrooted phone and stock recovery for OTA. Or you can flash full rom in SPFT. Follow illustration on mlais.com - dont forget to set right camera parameters on flashtool.

I'm not satisfied :(
[Android General] Kevin_truest:
So if i want root on the new update, i'll need to:

-unroot my 20150819

-do the OTA update

-reflash with TWRP

or will i need to flash the entire new 20151102(700mb file) and then re-install TWRP?

Trying to get this up to date as easily as possible(and i need to keep root access)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hormosapiens:
My AFTV has remained on 51.1.3.0 as i have blocked the amazon from router to not update the device.

My only concern is Kodi, nothing else. Should I release the updates and update to the latest amazon official, or should I keep this version in hopes that soon the root will come and playing Kodi on AFTV is never gonna be a Amazon decision.

Thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
In general, that's not a huge concern for most people, at least over going on a year of reading forums on aftv. I guess there's always the fear but it doesn't look like amazon is going to block kodi. Plus there's loads of benefits to updating now (as I'm certain you're aware.) Kodi works--why not update then block them again like you have been doing? Unless you really think your current fw will become rootable.

Edit--oh yes. Forgot about efuse. Still if its just kodi you care about I wouldn't let that stop me.
