I think there should be no problem with flashing 1.20 from there. It is stock.

I stayed on 1.08 after cleaning malware and Led Notification problem solution.

Homtom should address the problems in new ROM. So in a way why bother

[General Topics] jan177:
if you had no signal before you started to flash or modify ROM than phone can be damaged. No ROM will change that.

You can try to restore IMEI for instance in MTK Tool.

Perhaps problem with invalid damaged IMEI is the problem

How is GPS reception on this phone? I'm looking for a sub-100 USD phone to use as stationary Waze navigator in car. HT7 non-pro version with MTK6580A has awful reception and accuracy
[General Topics] jan177:
Perhaps it is a question of Waze.

I used on HT 7 Google maps and Here Maps and compared with Samsung Note 3. no difference with accuracy and speed
[General Topics] Carkov:
Hi there.

Been following the tread for a while.

I also have an Ht7 Pro and all the issues stated by all users.

Learned a lot by reading the tread, and made some changes on my phone:

- root with KingoRoot

- disabled/uninstalled bloatware

- disabled led notification with mtknoled

- applied greenify even to some "system" apps

- applied Lspeed with recomended settings

- disabled stock launcher and changed it with Nova

- disabled wifi "always on"

- enabled only 3G network (for me it is enough)

I got excellent battery life, good performance, excellent deepsleep and very few wakelocks.

As an example in 12h i managed to get 0,5%/hour battery usage. 8 hours of sleep and four hours of low usage.

I think it is not bad :)

Sorry for bad english.

[General Topics] madprofessorus:
Personally I don't want to make changes to the phone, homtom should fix this problem, OK it's a cheap phone but these days you can find many cheap chinese phones, if we can pressure them somehow to fix the Rom it will be the better we can do
[General Topics] akiva10:
Sombody said it isn't a bug and all mediatek processors act like this for better charging.
[General Topics] morozilkin:
I don't think it's a question for Waze in this case. I've tested some phones and tablets before HT7. For example, COLORFLY G708 had the best reception compared to all, it did even work inside building. UMI Hammer had reception as bad as HT7, on the other hand Hammer S had very nice reception (which has same chip as HT7 pro). That's why i was asking. I would buy Hammer S, however they are not available anywhere

What was the main difference between 1.1.7 and 1.2.0? I mean, if I downgrade to 1.1.7 what am I losing?
[General Topics] jan177:
I have stayed on 1.08

The major problems are unsolved so I saw no reason for upgrade
[General Topics] Fab919:
The difference of 1.2.0 from 1.1.7 is some minor bug fix. While 1.1.7 from previous versions is the HotKnot functionality.

Btw, I'm using 1.1.7.
[General Topics] Roph:
1.0.8 has much worse touch latency. It was greatly improved by 1.1.3. I can easily tap-type very fast on mine running 1.2.0. 1.2.0 (or 1.1.7?) also improved video recording quality, it no longer looks like up-scaled 480p.

I went from 1.0.8 to 1.1.3 to 1.2.0.

The chipset supports 1080p30 recording and the camera sensor is more than capable, maybe we'll see that eventually.
[General Topics] madprofessorus:
If 1.1.7 don't have this issue with the big battery drain I am thinking of downgrade until homtom fix this problem.

I (wrongly) asked this on the HT7 (non pro) thread:

I know that what I'm asking is probably impossible (at least according to google) but is there a way to enable 3g/4g bands for use in the USA (i.e. bands 2, 4 and 12)?

I would also be happy with 3g only functionality (for the t-mobile offer).
[General Topics] jan177:
Well it does not matter

Check T-mobile USA for frequencies and check if the phone operates in those bands

try to check those yourself

Use Titanium Backup and freeze update apk. it will not bother you any more
[General Topics] lipippo:
Yes, I already checked and it does not work (2g only), that's why I was asking if is there a method to enable more/other bands
[General Topics] Fab919:
Try to dial *#*#3646633#*#* to enter engineer mode and then click BandMode to see if it helps. On my HT7 pro bands 2, 4, 12 are greyed out (unable to turn on), that means this phone does not support those bands.
[General Topics] lipippo:
Yes, thank you, but I think the chip actually supports those bands, it's just a matter of software. Of course if there's no alternative baseband to unlock those bands the issue is moot, that's why in the first message I said it was probably impossible: I searched google before asking, but sometimes you don't get a correct answer even from google ;)
[General Topics] luks333:
Another question before pulling the trigger on this: can someone confirm it gets charged with any USB cable? I've read that its USB plug is a bit longer, I want to make sure it gets charged with any plug. Thanks.

Anyone else experiencing Bluetooth headset lag. When I see streaming video I get about half a second lag of audio. What can be done about it?

I bought some cables from amazon and I have no problem charging the phone with them. I also have a charger from an old nokia phone with a shorter connector (just a tiny bit shorter). It charges the phone just fine but it comes out (hence stops charging) if you look at it funny.
[General Topics] jan177:
I have not encountered any problems with usb charging cables. No all of them are data cables.
[General Topics] biker_955:
I bought a right angled cable from Aliexpress, it had a short plug on it, result was it wouldn't charge the phone when inserted.

What I did was remove a few mm from the plastic so the plug part was longer, no problems now. Don't remove too much 1-2mm is enough (1/16" of an inch)
[General Topics] jan177:
I bought a straight cable from ali and I did not have to do anything. It charges without problems
[General Topics] biker_955:
I bought a paracord covered straight one and it was fine, also bought one from the poundshop and it was fine, if you check the usb spec it says 5mm but these need 7mm. If you are buying a cable have a look at it, the longer the silver part the better.

If you look at the base of the phone you can see the charge socket is recessed by a couple of mm, this means that cables that charge others either fall out or fail to charge these phones.

I have ordered this phone. I am in US. i have looked at and downloaded tools in post 1. i downloaded the last twrp from megthebest. in that rar. there are two scatter files. one labeled twrp, one labeled with chipset. also two images there on one labeled recovery and one labeled twrp. am i correct to assume that to flash twrp i would use scatter labeled twrp and image labeled twrp. ??

next question is off topic. but i have for a little while the figo atrium phone. has same exact hardware specs as this phone. how hard is it to make a twrp for that phone and where can i find guide, or can i use one of these ? for this phone. specs are here: http://http://figoglobal.com/product.php#atrium

i could find nothing in terms of recovery images for this. i could not even find stock firmware. thanks for any help, and thanks so much for making a twrp for this phone to root and have backup.

I tested a new application.

I am very pleased with it.

even his job.

you can try it, especially those who have problems with battery drain in sleep mode

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cpuhibernation&hl=en

#1 Battery Saving technique!

Just enable the CPU Hibernation Lock, then we will take care the rest.

How it works?

When the screen is OFF, it automatically locks CPU processor to lowest possible frequency. This ensures huge battery savings.

CPU "The brain of android" constantly computes many demanding tasks.

For Example: Updating widgets, updating apps, checking for software updates, etc. This computing power drains a lot of battery & is used when you do not need it. That's why CPU frequency need to be lowered when the screen is OFF.

I do not know to who is that advice..

I described in the first post how to root.

I tried 1.2.3 , 1..1.7 1..1.2 and 1.08 with which I had received the phone

1.08 wit NLW is enough for me

After flashing 1.2.3 default setting for LED Notification is ON.

I had to turn OFF otherwise CPU is running full speed.

So they addressed the problem by giving an option to turn OFF without exterior apk
[General Topics] MnMchill:
I don't see that 1.2.3 done anything good or bad for battery life or system optimization. Only difference I noticed is option to disable led notifications but we already could do this with apks we found. So why they pushed this update when it doesn't change anything? :S

i downloaded the 1.23 newest firmware which as best as i could tell from the posts on the forum fixed the battery drain problem. i got that here:

https://doc-0o-6k-docs.googleuserco...8808850&hash=c4rs6dqagv97gbffd31na0ems6b5mlr2

having never used the phone, i don't really know but in trickster mod i can see that i am getting time in deep sleep state if that means anything.

i like the phone after getting rid of a lot of what they did to stock, but i don't think it will work with any united states lte carriers. so i may not keep it. if anyone has info on that please reply. i did not study the lte bands closely enough when i bought it. thanx..
[General Topics] jan177:
I agree & confirm. Probably he does not know how to check this.

One has this LED light problem no matter how the phone is rooted, unless you use an app for that.

1.23 is not free from LEd Notification problem. It has option to turn it OFF, but we achieved as much with Led Widget.

How I got root on V1.1.4

1. I downloaded TWRP as supplied in the first post.

2. I used SP Flash Tool v5.1520.00.

3. Instead of the scatter file supplied by OP, I used the scatter file from the 1.1.4 firmware file hosted on Needrom. Here it is. The conflict in some SP Flash Tool version (BROM ERROR S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTINGS_FAIL) is probably because the project name is different.

4. I flashed TWRP into the recovery partition, Download only mode. In my setup it flashed to 100% but had an error. I ignored the error and rebooted the device using Vol Up + Power to get into the bootloader menu. TWRP was installed successfully.

5. I flashed the latest SuperSU Beta (v2.71).

6. Profit.
