Illogical?

Jump from LP to MM is an upgrade that can lead to unexpected bugs if done without clearing cache and data. If you were a Company, would you take the risk of getting lots of customers complaints that you will have to supply support? It's better to give it as a manual procedure so only a few user supposed to know what they do, how to backup their data and apps settings, how to clean data and cache, will upgrade.
[ZenFone 2 General] BobboVilla:
Can you give me a link to this? I thought that I didn't get MM because they stopped the update, and instead only released the security update for September until they solve the issues that the Brazilians have with the sensors.
[ZenFone 2 General] DiGecko:

[ZenFone 2 General] Lloyd Dunamis:
Would updating to 2.20.40.196 remove the said apps (Clean Master, CM Security), or make them uninstallable instead of only Disable-able? A friend of mine is using CM Security, and is worried that updating to this version would actually remove it.

Your friend can just reinstall them from the play store.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UnableToResetOldProfile:
Can you repost the TUT please?!

I've been looking for an IP67/68 phone for some time now. The Blackview BV6000 was the contender, but alas, no Notification LED, just as the Doogee T5 dropped out of the lineup for the same hardware issue.

Doogee claims the T5 is an upgrade from the Titans2 DG700 that HAS a Notification LED,,,,,, stupid, really stupid miss on the hardware development (the DG700 I dropped due to your rant about the overall build quality and other claims regarding the same issues).

How can both manufacture's miss such a small, yet vital item as the Notification LED?, I'm not an under 25 that constantly walks about day and night with my phone in my hand, I'm a mature, home owner that has other interests than FB and Twit. I put my phone down to charge, or go on to my other hobbies or interests, I may look at it every 30 min or so to see if there has been a call/text/push. Both 5" phones have respectable hardware (CPU/GPU/RAM/ROM), but missed the LED on board? ... WTF!

So now I'm considering this phone, and would like to read the TUT if you repost it please.

Also, please tell me if this phone has the Notification LED, its visible on some of the stock pictures, and some not, its the final build I'm interested in.

AND ... have you located any parts for this item? On AliExpress a buyer had the item shipped to him with the SIM/SD back cover missing one of the 2 tabs to hold it in place. I really don't want to go through the BS of a full return for a small user replaceable item, or screen.

TY .... :highfive:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NaturalBornCamper:
I hear you friend! I like to have a LED for the exact same reasons! And if you are waiting for a message while talking to a friend, it is so impolite to check your phone every minute instead of just saying "excuse me" when the LED finally pops up and you can check your important message!

Anyways, I can't answer for sure about the notification LED (they call it "breathing light" on the Vphone), as I already messed up my phone by trying to flash custom recoveries that failed, installing tons of root applications and Xposed modules so now it's misbehaving :P. Anyways I completely re-wrote the entire project post with TONS of new info for you to make your decision, be sure to check the section about the notification LED to understand what I mean by "not being able to answer your question properly". I also wrote down other info/concerns/things I like or don't. I will update as I get more info, an answer from Mediatek (if I get any), and feedback from other people who have the same phone as so far, it seems like I'm the only one that has it.

That's pretty funny hahaha! I hadn't seen that post before buying this phone but I wouldn't be too concerned as this is probably not specifically that brand's fault as it is

EVERY SINGLE DAMN Chinese product

. They say something that isn't true because they have bad English, because they aren't competent enough or just plainly lie... and the quality is never the same (You just have to trust your luck that your product isn't a bad one, that was made by a trainee intern after his wife cheated on him and divorced). That's the risk of buying "made in China", lower cost at the risk of getting one of "these" bad ones.

A professional ukulele maker once told me that every time you buy a ukulele "made in China", you might have an excellent one that sounds better than most, or have a crappy one that sounds like Celine Dion on PCP. So basically you buy 5 times the same ukulele and keep the best :P

Anyways, nope I haven't located any parts as I didn't check, didn't need any replacement with my phone yet. However when I got pissed off at the company for sending me the Vphone X3 instead of the NO.1 X2i, they proposed me to send it back and get a refund (which I didn't I'm done with the trouble). So I'm pretty sure that this guy can just ask the rep, or the seller to get a new one. Chinese often have ****ty English and bad product representation, but they usually know that the damage you can potentially do by posting bad reviews about their product will cost them more than sending a replacement :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UnableToResetOldProfile:
Aaaaah Ha Ha Ha ..... Cat getting run over by a car, then backed over for good luck .....

Only a non 'Québécois' Canadian will really understand this ....

***EDIT***

> 3.4 X2i vs X3 Processor differences <

The actual proof my be in opening up the phone and looking at the processor for an identification.

They may have messed with the chips firmware and flashed incorrect information if they customized it, this may cause the different software to identify the chip differently, and the SOC to behave erratically due to poor programing.

This trickery happens with cheep mSD Cards all the time (I use h2testw for capacity verification) as they flash 32gb on a 8gb card.

I managed to grab the No1.X2i's ROM as a pre-purchase base as this phone is still a consideration.

The ROM is 'NO.1 X3 Firmware 3.21-1'....(V0.1 D160307_img)

What is the current version?....(V13 D160524_img)

Given enough time, I answer my own questions....:silly:

So, Devicespecifications lists the 2 phone as identical:

http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/comparison/d39a75047

***ADDITION TO POST***

So it appears that other people have the same wonky results as you, this person tested with CPUZ and AIDA64, it shows a MT6735/6735P respectively, but both results show that it is

Revision r0p4

, he posted a review on YouTube:

https://youtu.be/D2toE3o0C2M

Also, the it appears that only missed calls/sms and alarm/charging/low battery is supported. There should be no notification for Play Store app updates or app push notifications .... or eMails?!

What exactly is the Alarm Notification?, is this your wake up alarm clock alarm?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NaturalBornCamper:
I'm not sure we can trust the devicespecifications.com website however, as I'm sure you already know ;)

They seem to have differences which are probably due to missing information, like for the IP68 certifications differences and the missing Gorilla Glass from the X2i.. They also seem to say that the processor is 1.3GHz but not a single app marked the processor as 1.3GHz. By the way, MediaTek never answered as expected. And another sideline, I found another app that lists the chipset as MT6735M, so we now have apps that give all 3 versions of the chipset woot! No way to know which is real.

On a sidenote, it might be my fault with the constant messing up and flashing prior to successful rooting and Xpposed installation, but I have battery problems. At around 35-40%, the battery goes instantly to 15% then starts going down 1% per 15 seconds until it reaches 0% and shuts down. It happened 2 times now so I'm re-calibrating my battery (which makes sense with all the flashing and restoring previously saved system partitions) and will see if the problem persists, but it's possible I got a typical case of the Chinese-crappy manufacturing gamble. Shipped with a faulty battery, faulty battery connection, etc.

For the BreathLight, yes I had seen these settings.. however I DID get the flashing light for BOTH Facebook Messenger and LINE applications. So it is not only for SMS, emails, missed calls. I think it is for every notifications but I messed it up somehow with an root app or Xposed module as the LED really works randomly and hasn't worked yet for a missed call or SMS (but I had only 2 since I got the phone, nobody uses regular SMS or calls in Taiwan, everything is internet-based.

And I have no idea what is the "alarm" setting for the BeathLight.. It would make no sense if it was for the Alarm Clock since the screen turns on anyways.. So I'm wondering if it's for "Android Alarms", such as "wakelocks", which would mean toggling this on/off would activate the notifications for all other apps. This way, you could have the LED light up only for SMS and missed calls but not for other notifications (alarms). Does that make sense to you?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UnableToResetOldProfile:
I'm thinking that the 'Alarm Notification' is just that, when you have an alarm set, be it a count down timer or alarm clock, the LED flash's?! Possibly a low battery alert as well?!

IDK.......(?)

***EDIT***

Did you notice that CPU-Z lists the Architecture as

3x

Arm Cortex-A53, and AIDA64 lists the Architecture as

4x

Arm Cortex-A53 ...(?)

I'm using AIDA64 from now on.....LOL!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NaturalBornCamper:
An LED for an alarm would be pretty useless hahaha! If they did that, I really don't see the point.

Yeah, I noticed for CPU-Z... I uninstalled all the apps to figure out what's in my phone hehhee
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UnableToResetOldProfile:
Actually I would like an alarm LED, it would indicate, with the screen off, that my alarm was set for the next morning. It would also be nice if they used a RGB LED, then you could allocate Blue, or any other color for different notifications.

Nobody else has chimed in regarding this phone, you must be the only person that's bought it?! You must feel special to be the only kid on the block with one........:laugh:

Whats the biggest mSD card that worked in the phone ... 64, 128 ... ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UnableToResetOldProfile:
NOT 4500mAH battery!

THIS DOES NOT HAVE A 4500mAh BATTERY

THIS HAS A 3200mAh BATTERY

Also, it does not have a compass!?

I found this thread at 4PDA: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=742407&st=40

Post #49 & 51

This makes the KENXINDA W8 a much better choice, it has the same size battery, but it has the compass, back-lit keys, quad-core, 128gb expandable mSDHD-XC, better gpu, better RAM but alas, a crappy camera, just adequate.

Same price range.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UnableToResetOldProfile:
This phone is garbage.....Don't waist your money.

I can verify that the battery is only 3200 mAh. No1/vPhone has come out and lied about the capacity.

This phone uses a 19mm headphone jack, not the standard 14mm.

This phone uses a 10mm mUSB jack, not the standard 6mm.

This phone is not waterproof without the plugs seated. The connections are not injection molded into the frame , the water has direct access to the inside without them in place. This makes the phone useless with headphones attached in a wet environment.

I can not use

any

of my headphones or USB charging/data cables.

The 19mm mUSB's are not available locally for me and not available from the manufacturer, or the reseller. I can't find the 19mm mUSB cables on eBay/AliExpress/Banggood or China Express (others as well).

The phone was shipped with 2 invalid IMEI numbers.

SIM 1: 356666666666666

SIM 2: 356666666666668

These generic numbers are used on phones that have their legitimate IMEI's taken for phones that are stolen, or, used on cheep counterfeit phones that do not have legitimate IMEI's registered to the database, or, are used on phones that are stolen.

These particular 'generic' numbers are BLACK LISTED as a '

LOST OR STOLEN PHONE

' here in Canada.

This 'New' phone will not connect to any service provider here in Canada.

The last phone I sent back to China for a refund, the seller abandoned the item, he refused it and it sat undelivered, there was never a refund issued as the item was not delivered(AliExpress reseller).

To have it returned to me would cost me another 50 bucks....190+50+50=300 bucks (+/-).

I will get screwed out of my $190.00 ether way, if I keep it or send it back.

Sending it back will cost me another $50.00 on top of the $190 as well........

DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND OF PHONE (No1 is parent company).

The Kenzinda W8 or W9 appear to be a better item, but there is little or no support from the manufacturer for this item as well.

Great research and thanks for sharing NaturalBornCamper!!!

After doing some research myself, I also have cool stuff to add.

Here is TWRP 3.0.2 attached, downloaded from https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=742407&st=200

It wasn't easy to get through the 4pda.ru registration captcha, I had to learn some russian. :)

I installed it and flashed supersu.zip from it, so I was finally able to get rid of the noisy boot animation, adding debug.sf.nobootanimation=1 at the end of /system/build.prop

I just made a nandroid backup to a microsd card, and a "Phone tools" backup, so I can recover my imei if something bad happens in one of my flashing adventures.

Short howto: Install vcom drivers and download SP_Flash_Tool from https://spflashtool.com/

Uncompress TWRP-3.0.2-Vphone-X3.zip

Run flash tool.exe, and load the scatter file included in TWRP/MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt

This will load the partition schema, and autoselect the twrp recovery.img for download. Just click on Download icon on top, start your phone and when you see OK on the screen you are done.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sfaizan:
Hello everyone, this happened just today. I was using my galaxy alpha AT&T and all of a sudden the screen starting glitching and jumping. I was quite shocked because I bought this phone a few days ago. Although the phone is not brand new but the vendor told me that it's completely fine. Anyhow, I pressed the power button and waited for a few seconds then turned the screen back on. This time the screen was fine but after a few seconds of usage the problem started again. Now i read on the internet that this is not a screen issue but rather its associated with phone's charging port but I'm not sure. And another interesting thing is that the screen shots are completely fine and there are no signs of glitching or flickering. Secondly also note that I was experiencing the famous "cannot charge because battery is too cold!" message and I believe that this problem is also associated with the charging port. So please if anyone is familiar with this problem then guide me. Here a video link that shows what's happening to my screen

https://www.google.com.pk/url?sa=t&...iApUmAM4lJrHPxV6Q&sig2=gXDieE4_dAV6uMn5D-OazA
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] shawnk320:
If you have the screen on the lowest bright setting the flickering will continue. Once I put it back on auto or at a slightly higher level the flickering went away. That's at least what fixed mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] click.here:
I also had this problem before the only way to fiix this was to set the mimimum brightness to 10 in gravitybox xposed module also the dimming of brightness so that it wont flicker

I've never had encounter this kind of problem. Your problem is too severe. I think it is related to the hardware.

animals are best than human beings atleast they stay together helping each other...

i hate you guys... one day you will loose some thing precious by doing *your work as being a developer... your heart will brake and you will think of me... i am cursing upon you all the developers...you will never be worthy as a developer anymore...

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firthaa01:
I have minimal experience when dealing with rooted/flashed phones and its been a few years since ive dealt with it.

I purchased a second-hand note 4 from eBay which was listed as being 'new other'......basically, it was an opened package but never used from a seller who sells a lot of this type of thing. Got the phone great and set it up.

First, thing that bothered me is that when I came to do a factory restore and was presented with a black screen with various options coloured red and blue ( i cant post images because im a new user)

The screen says:

Android system recovery <3e>

LMY47X.N910T3UVU1DOG1

volume up/down to move highlight;

power button to select.

reboot system now

apply update from ADB

apply update from external storage

apply update from cache

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

reboot to bootloader

power down

view recovery logs

dm-verity verification failed......

I also powered down the device and entered download mode

the knox warranty void: 0x1 (3)

Under about device i have

android version 5.1.1

baseband version N910FXXU1DOG1

kernal version

3.10.40-5260683

Build number

LMY47X.N910FXXU1DOG1

Security software version

MDF V2.0 RELEASE 1

VPN V1.4 RELEASE 5.2

Also under device status it says OFFICIAL........not modified which I wasnt expecting.

If i got to KNOX active protection it is switched OFF and it wont let me turn it on.

I dunno.........I seem to think at some point this phone has been rooted or flashed

Obviously if this has been rooted/flashed then ill be contacting the seller as it wasnt advertised this way and i dont mind keeping the phone if i can get a partial refund.

So do I have a shot at a partial refund if this phone has been rooted/flashed?

Can I still reflash/re-root if I want?

Thanks
