[General Questions and Answers] marc.knuckle:
Hi guys.

First if this isnt the best section for this please move it to where it needs to go.

I was looking around Aliexpress and saw an octo core phone with mtk 6595 cpu, 4gb ram, 13mp camera etc and for the equivalent of £54 cost it seemed too good to be true. unfortunately that now seems the case. i noticed it was quite laggy which you wouldnt think an octo core phone would be and the photos were poor which a 13mp camera shouldnt produce.

so i downloaded some hardware identifying apps. some state the same details that the seller did. some state however - dual core 6572 cpu, 6mp camera. it also shows only 2 point multitouch where as more modern phones would allow more point multitouch. also when i downloaded google camera and went into the resolution settings, 6.2mp is the max allowed.

so i'm having a battle back and forth that either he refunds most of what i paid and lets me keep this poor phone as a spare for my son at a much lower price or pays the return postage costs and shows me some sort of guarantee i'll get my money back when he receives.

So....the question is, how has he or someone else set it so that it can fool some apps into reading incorrect data? and, even if i turn off data all together it still shows 4g for both sims even though 1 isnt even a 4g sim/data plan?

cheers guys.
[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
He probably just changed the specs in the build.prop files so it shows that the phone is more powerful than it actually is and changed some images for the sim 4G.
[General Questions and Answers] marc.knuckle:
Is there any way to prove this or revert it back to stock without the false info?
[General Questions and Answers] Bigbossyousef:
If your phone has the mtk 6595 CPU your antutu benchmark must be 40000 or more if not then its probably a scam phone download and run the latest antutu benchmark 35000 is fine too but not 25000
[General Questions and Answers] marc.knuckle:
it fails to finish the test saying something about failed network something or other yet still shows 48695 score. it actually doesnt mean much whatever the score is as it runs sluggishly, wont run any games like dead trigger 2 or similar and stutters playing youtube vids. also google camera shows max camera resolution allowed is 6.2mp rather than the 13mp claimed.
[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
It's possible but there is no point in that since it won't do anything to the speed of the device. You would just be wasting time.
[General Questions and Answers] marc.knuckle:
Part of the reason is for proof to get a refund and the other reason is if i keep it and eventually sell it, I'd want to have the correct details on it
[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
Just download CPU-Z it shows all the correct specs. Then edit the build.prop file so the specs are matching. Make sure to do some research before you cahange anything in the build.prop and always remember to make a backup.
[General Questions and Answers] marc.knuckle:
cpuz shows it as octa core but specifically that only 2 cores are working and only at 1.2ghz which is further confirming that it is actually a mt6572.

also, any ideas if there are custom roms that i could install and would this then wipe the fake build.prop details?

thanks again
[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
I didn't find any roms for your phone, but you don't need to install a rom to change build.prop details. Also build.prop does not contain most of the specs. A lot of them are in the hardware and in the kernel.
[General Questions and Answers] marc.knuckle:
I couldn't find a rom either. I didn't know if there was such a thing as a generic lollipop rom that could be flashed to any mediatek phone.

I didn't want to just edit the build.prop myself to the specs that i think it should have, i wanted to do some sort of wipe that would then correct it automatically.

Thanks again.
[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
Well, there isn't such a thing as a generic rom, but you still can make a recovery with MTKDroidTools or Easy Magic TWRP Installer (Recommended)
[General Questions and Answers] Bigbossyousef:
Try an app called hardware info also try asphalt 8 and beach buggy racing and gt racing too you can't judge a device playing one game if all games lag even on low graphics then its a scam and about ( CPU z) showing only two cores working might be due to the fact that most phones disable most of the cpu cores in idle mode but all core do work while gaming I have a lenovo a3500 with four cores( set CPU) shows only two cores working in idle but it reads 4 cores total so it doesn't mean that the cpu is fake if all cores are not active in idle in fact if all cores work in idle it would be a huge waste of battery and no mobile os wants to do that my last advice is to try several games and see

And remember gaming performance depends heavily on the GPU ( the graphics card ) and your phone might have the Mali mp you and its not good enough for most games nowadays

A quick list for you explaning performance rating asphalt 8 1280 x 800 high

Mali mp ( 4 fps )

Mali mp2 ( 7 fps )

Adreno 305 (17 fps )

Power vr 6430 ( 24 fps )

So run hardware info app and see if you have Mali or power vr 6430 if you have Mali then it explanes the bad performance due to what I said earlier
[Asus ZenWatch] mahadrafique:
I have turned "always screen off", now whenever my watch's screen goes off, a yellow line at the extreme bottom gets visible juat after 2, 3 seconds. It dissappears when the screen turns on again. Does anyone else has noticed this in your zenwatch or is that a manufacturer fault in my zenwatch ??

I rooted my K3 using Kingroot V4.5.0.722 and everything was fine but I then replaced it with SuperSU and that worked. Once everything was done with SuperSU it said to reboot and the reboot has me on the boot loader or 2hours so I removed the battery and tried to leave it off then reboot and it didn't work. I tried to factory reset using the factory mode and even that didn't work. Please help.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reanimatednerd:
I've lost the ability to change DPI all of a sudden. I had no problems at all,but I installed a cm based rom, changed DPI on that fine, but afterwards I moved to a stock based rom and I haven't been able to change since.

Texdroider says it will be changed but doesn't apply after boot, and when I try to edit the build.prop, it says it can't save.

Tried to edit permissions but not won't allow me.

Restored to a flashable stock rom, still the same.

Restored to a UK ftf file, still the same.

Seriously run out of ideas, so I come to you for help...

Try to isolate the problem :

- recovery running ok?

- root (SuperSU) ok?

- can mount /system RW in recovery?

- can mount /system RW in shell (adb or terminal) when booted?

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahvt:
Hello!

Go to red arrow in case you don't want to read my story ;)

My phone broke a week ago(Xperia Z1) and Sony's customer service won't repair it because it was rooted and they will destroy it so I'm through with their bs lol

I looked up what phones I could get that had specs but there weren't many phones available, they seem to be able to sell anything with sh*tty specs here in Belgium xD

The moto X was one of the phones, the other phone was the oneplus one but even though it's a great device, my devices usually have hardware defects and need to be sent back and I've heard about the terrible customer service and I am not in the mood for bad customer service(Looking at you Sony!)

----> Now here is my question:

Love the specs, love how the device looks, storage is only 16gb but that shouldn't be an issue (XZ1 is also 16gb) but the ONLY thing steering me away from buying it is it's battery... because it is only 2300mAh I am really worried if it will last me a day! The AMOLED display should certainly help if you check the time often but I'm not sure about it!

How is the battery life guys, is it good on lollipop and to Custom ROM users: How is the battery life compared to stock, better, worse or about the same

My usage:

Basic apps like facebook, instagram, ...

Basic games like flappy bird, (I do not play games as GTA on my phone, I have a nexus 7 for that)

Lots and lots of music!

barely any calling

EDIT: If I buy a 4g device in Europe, what model will I get? (XT10..)

Thank you in advance for replying to my question!

Greetings,

noahvt
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
This is the wrong device for you, don't buy it. The battery life of this one isn't bad, but its only 2300mah, which is only enough to get from morning till evening on medium use. Expect about 3 to 3.5hrs screen on time.

People do not purchase Motorola devices for custom roms, because its already stock Android with some light, but useful customization. Most people who use Moto X do not install custom roms because it would lose those Motorola features. There are not many custom roms for it. Also there is more chance of permanently brick a Motorola if you don't know what you're doing. If you want custom roms, I suggest you get the upcoming Nexus phone this year.

I suggest looking at the two latest Moto X which will have better battery life. The flagship Moto X Style (3000mah), and the midrange Moto X Play (3630mah). They both have microSD card so you can store lots of media. This Moto X 2014 do not have microSD card.

You might be interested in the Moto G 3rd gen as well if you are not playing any heavy games. It's a budget phone, but with decent specs if you get the version with 2GB ram, have microSD and the battery life is supposed to last very long.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealjam:
I normally go on the engadget battery tests to give a ball-park idea. The Moto X 2014 did about 10.5 hours of video usage, the Z1 gave "over 12" though they don't say how much over 12 it was.

Looking at that, it seems to depend how you rate the Z1 battery. If it's only just adequate then perhaps it might be best to look elsewhere. I find the battery OK to go from morning to bed time but I generally have quite low screen on time.

My normal usage is Spotify over bluetooth (perhaps 1.5 hours a day), text messages, web browsing, Viber messaging and a little Words with Friends. It generally results in 2 hours on screen time, and I'll make it to 11pm with 30% left. Also of note, that would be 80% on WiFi (I have good WiFi at home and work) and 20% 4G. Performance would vary a fair bit if it was the other way around.

Edit: this is stock lollipop.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravious:
Okay, I've got a boost mobile moto g ( xt1031 ) that was flashed with 5.0.2 from 4.4.4.

I'm not exactly sure what happened, but after a wipe and re-flash I've lost all data connectivity.

3G icon shows at the top still, signal strength still shows full. PRL and Profile update correctly..

Yet there is a "!" over the signal bar.. and no data connectivity.

I've sense flashed back to 4.4.4 ... Same problem.. Everything shows having a connection.. 3G icon.. Full strength.. yet no data.

I flashed the 4.4.4 radio back on it.. same thing..

I've done the ##72786# reset..

So yeah.. I'm at a loss..

Anyone have any clue as to what might have happened?

Or anyway that I might resolve this issue?

Hi, i´ve got a trinity with the wm6 spanish cooked version. I´ve installed Citymaps and when i try to search or I try to make a route between two places, it automatically closes the program.

Does anyone have the same problem? I haven´t find anything in the forum.
[P3600 General] hybrix:
no answer? :(
[P3600 General] NeilM:
Citymaps is a very old program- released in 2002, before TomTom Navigtor was released for the PPC.

Probably not compatible with WM5 or WM6 which is why it crashes.

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ControlHere:
Being a perfectionist is really tough sometimes. I was admiring my new little Moto e after getting my first message notification, and noticed the white LED behind the notification hole, is off-center.

Its over to the right of the hole. Its a brand new phone and was sealed in the box. Is anyone else's Moto e notification light off-center too? Just curious, guess its not enough of a problem to send it back, especially if I find others notice this too.

Hmmmm actually I don't know what could be added to it as I'm not really using this as a phone but as media device like an iPod

But when I just rooted stock the time on my device wouldn't be right and I looked it up and the time is from cell towers but with this ROM the time actually stays and is right I don't know if you did it or what that's awesome haha

And oh the no sim card icon and notification is kind of annoying I don't know how to make it go away I tried locking for a database in sqlite but didn't know what it would be under

Other then that I think its great thanks for making it!

[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] DJBoxer:
Yeah i removed Samsung stock player my opinion its sucks lol so replaced with google music but personally that still sucks lol i use poweramp been using it i say about 4 yrs now i tried many players as i love my music but ended up always going bk to poweramp it beening a payed app i cant implement even if i add trial version.

Xposed is safe to use on this rom also if in doubt just bkup prior to installing framework on my main device im using v1.2 of this rom :P theres a tease lol but currently have

greenify,

powernap (alpha u need to be a tester to gain access thru google+)

Chromepie,

GravityBox KK (its the same as wanam Xposed)

But my aim is to implement some of these within the rom without the need for the modules some users claim xposed can lead to lags and slow down on performance i personally not experinced ever a issue but to save concern etc add stuff like 4 way reboot center clocks fancy looking icons for signals etc but not going to bang it all in at once as it can become unstable plus i can pinpoint issues but in meantime feel free to use xposed just i cant help with bugs and errors as i may not have same issues but if i added to rom i know and will read it lol :p
