you can try to use Advanced Battery Calibrator that i just put on my dropbox for you

use this app to calibrate and maybe delete /data/system/batterystats.bin when phone still connected to charger ... (read link .. )

Is it be possible to install one ? It seriously damage the device if it is done ?

Antutu score 26350 with the phone as arrived. Now after upgrading to 1.35 is 32248!

What about the browser? It has English menu but is most oriented towards chinese users. Can we remove it and put something else or alternatively make it more "english"?
[Android General] supercowz:
i allway use firefox :)

but up to your, lot of great browser

and i like nova launcher ... specially with most chinese devices product, phone and tablet
[Android General] CamoGeko:
Thanks mate, I will try it tonight when the phone is fully charged and before I unplug it.

You're doing an awesome job here, just wish XDA guys would hurry up and create a forum section for this great phone.

Then again, I might be getting a OnePlus X soon so I don't know if I will be sticking with the ZTE V5 yet.

Hi Julien.

I have few question about multilanguage patch, som menus are on english and i cant find it in framework or settings, like:

enable data (switcher)

notification center (menu and all inside)

scheduled power on and off (menu and all inside)

buttons (menu and all inside)

celluar networks (inside, menu name is fine)

screen (all fine but "breath light")

fingerprints (menu and all inside)

Can you tell where it is? I try to translate missing strings.

And one more question to all. Somebody know what another phone.apk compatible with our phone, stock phone.apk is crap!
[Android General] Ziela:
You need to decompile Settings.apk do the translation in strings.xml and compile back to apk, How to decompile and compile apks you will find on xda. If you`ll translate your language send your strings.xml to supercowz so he`ll compile this into official apk in next patch.
[Android General] xKhaosx:
Hi. I tried all these methods, but my problem remains. I thought my phone has a battery life problem because percent indicator decreased very fast, but when i turn off the phone, turn on in recovery mode and then reboot it again, magically the percent increase again.

For example. Today when battery showed 90% (after 20 screen minutes), i did this and increased to 100%. I repeat this process one more time, and same result (90% to 100%). With this method I got around 6 screen hours. In some situations, the phone remains many minutes without decrease the percent.

Firmware 1.35 - No patch - All wipes.

I'm unable to install TWRP after trying everything I can think of :(

I'm able to install the 1.35 FW fine using stock recovery and boot it, build number is N939St_CNUnicorm_1.35.

Any advice? Thanks
[Android General] KpblcuK:
I cant find those words in strings.xml or another xml :(
[Android General] Ziela:
If values are not translated in to your language, they will not exist in strings.xml of your specific language.

You need to open english-default file Settings\res\values\strings.xml find this values, copy to your-language file, and make translation of value, so...

for english "<string name="data_settings_title">Enable Data</string>"

you need to have in your-language file <string name="data_settings_title">Включить данные</string>

Of Course don't know if google translator make it right :) hope you understand now ?

Another thing is, that some parts of settings menu, did not transated into polish even after i add translation to polish file. For me it was like in some of your pictures, scheduled power and sim-networks-apn settings.
[Android General] KpblcuK:
Thank you v/m iam noob in android, but start to learn. Try to do this.
[Android General] Ziela:
Dont worry :) i`m also not expert. This translation i made for polish language was first thing i ever made in android :) except using it.
[Android General] tazmako:
i have same issue. i use Advanced Battery Calibrator too.

after use some time batter % drop so fast i tune off it and wait around 1-2 min and open up batter bump too much (5% to 29%)

i think after use Advanced Battery Calibrator we need to change to 100% and use all day to lower than 10% and full change again with out interrupt.

around 1-2days i think it will be better.
[Android General] gszaszo:
After many messages I have got new DHL tracking number and the seller has asked for a little patience for it.

Certainly the tracking number is does not work yet. :)

It is funny thing I have ordered TPU protective case for the phone via normal shipping method and it has been arrived the destination country! :D
[Android General] vladymyr16:
the seller sent me a new tracking number but is not recognized in dhl.com

I hope that will arrive soon ...
[Android General] bballzeroone:
i got it yesterday, a lot of bugs, can not ota update.
[Android General] tazmako:
Today I receive phone.

Tell me how to check It. I can check for u.
[Android General] zachlo:
Updates on V5 pro

I have the same issue and its very annoying, though the phone feature wise is nice but it defiantly has its bugs
[Android General] Dac0908:
Thanx, but too late now. Sale is over, didn't buy it :(
[Android General] thmir:
Guys, I think you sholdn't update to N939St_CNUnicom_1.34 ROM over OTA because this is a chinese only rom! There is no other language in it but chinese!
[Android General] ramping:
any chance to roll back? is there any tool or firmware?
[Android General] tazmako:
I think this is good phone for this price.

(See other sale around 170Us)

Nice aluminum body finger print it useful.

Camera it better than other phone in price range. Mi note2 , meizu m2 Note.

But rom have some but I think in future it can be fix.
[Android General] Cristi_C:
Finally, the second tracking code that I've received works. Sadly, for now it says only "Shipment information received". I guess it will pass at least a few days, if not a week, until they will ship it.
[Android General] tazmako:
In my case after I check "Shipment information received"

Around7days I receive phone.
[Android General] Cristi_C:
I hope that will be my case too. I've waited enough.
[Android General] gszaszo:
Any details from these bugs? Thanks.
[Android General] tazmako:
In my case bug

1-Ota cannot update

2-battery drain so fast (I think use around 1week it will be better)

3-little high temp(I not use phone case)

4-open mail app it auto close (Gmail outlook) Today I will factory reset and check again it happen again or not.
[Android General] yourmate:
summary

So just to summarize:

the phone is a pile of sh*t and I haven't even got it ;)

The 1st tracking says: Returned to shipper

Since then they sent me two(!) more, none of them works.

Cream on top I have already paid £18 custom tax to DHL...
[Android General] tazmako:
Don't order anything to ship with dhl. It risk to pay more tax and shipping cost.

I think when ship by dhl 80-90% Will alway pay tax.
[Android General] pazvanti:
I did pay t tax, but it is the VAT, which is normal. Regardless of the shipping method that is something you have to pay since it is regulated by each country. Except for that I did not pay anything. But, to be fair, I payed the taxes myself. If I would have let DHL pay them and then send the money to them, there would have been a commission to them as well.
[Android General] zachlo:
phone information

No the phone is a good phone, with all the specs if it was branded by motorola or samsung it would be a $400+ phone. Now the phone does have its bugs and I highly doubt that the ota bug will be fixed. Though so far the battery and heating problem on mine have been fixed through a "break-in usage" period and a factory reset
[Android General] tazmako:
Yeah phone is good spec. Same as samsung galaxy a7

I think bug can be fix soon.

Ps.I check at. zterom Web have twrp. But only chinese language.
[Android General] Cristi_C:
Can some of you guys, who already got it, post a small review, and some photos and videos made with it?
[Android General] xKhaosx:
Another method is delete the batterystats.bin file.

Please let me know your results. I will continue doing test.
[Android General] tazmako:
I do it too after use app 2-3 Days.

I delete batterystats.bin not different from use apps.(I think app go to del this file too)
[Android General] Kanokt:
not clear how to do

thank you, that is very kind of you to share, but would be very great job if you are a good explain..you are really not good in explain..since step 15.do I have to click at the box? step 18..what is that?

[Android General] Ziela:
You can safely delete this app. Get root access and using file manager delete app. Cant remember path but it will be somewhere in /system/vendor/app or /system/priv-app or /system/app i think.

[Android General] halloj:
It works, but how do I get rid of the icons? Even if the app is uninstalled the icons are left.
[Android General] altdroid:
Just posting the solution in case it helps anyone else - I was doing this all on a Windows VM running on a Linux host with USB passed through. Whilst ADB & fastboot see & interact with the phone fine with commands, there must be some bits getting flipped in file transfers or something as removing Virtualization from the equation & switching to a dedicated Windows box fixed the problem & I was able to flash TWRP fine.

Bottom line, when flashing use a native Windows install, not a VM with USB passed through.
[Android General] sensorex@gmail.com:
Just simply reboot the phone.

---------- Post added at 08:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 AM ----------

I mean the fastboot and adb is exist for linux. The virtual machine makes some weird things, i dont recommend flashing via virtual machine.

I checked it and still has a significant disadvantage over the stock one. It does not justify the text as you zoom in to a page (like this one) so you have to keep scrolling for reading. If there is any setting that I am unaware of please tell me so.

Another thing that I noticed with phone. It is advertised as 4G dual standby. In my case you have the option to set 4G/3G/2G in the "preferred network type" only for the sim assigned from the Cellular Networks menu for the cellular data and for the other card the option is greyed out. Is that the correct behaviour?
[Android General] Ziela:
yes, it is working this way, but when you`ll choose anoteher sim to enable mobile transfer it can also work in 4G its why it says dual 4G
