[Oppo R7 Plus] shlape:
I've been trying several R7sf ROMs and unfortunately my device has degraded to a point where I can only use it as a bluetooth MP3 player, ie I have WiFi and bluetooth but no mobile data (4G).

I had to resort to using the rescue ROM on several occasions then going through the TWRP install for R7sf to try and break free of colorOS and project spectrum however project spectrum is the only ROM that will (mostly) work on my device now. It reports no reception however if I change the SIM into another device the reception is fine.

Basically I need to restore the phone to a working colorOS ROM so I can move onto lineageOS. Is the mobile data (4G) handled in the modem partition? Would re-flashing this fix the problem? I don't want to randomly try things and break the phone again.

Currently attempting to flash lineageOS or AICP results in a bootloop. I've had this problem in the past with my HTC Explorer which was rectified by re-flashing the boot.img file, but for the R7sf it didn't work.

Thanks in advance.

If you took the cover off to disconnect the battery from the board, sometimes there is not enough pressure on the antennae screw at the bottom left if the phone.

Which means the phone works fine but has no reception!

If you have the cover off there is a black lead running down the left hand side, at the bottom is a connection for this lead and next to and just below is a screw hole..

Tightening the screw connects the antennae and suddenly phone is working.

Just an FYI you guys, the ps4 controller works with the s8+ via Bluetooth I'm using it now and I'm downloading some games for vr and games for emulators to test it out but it works fine and connects fine, I can use it to navigate on my home screen and I'll edit this post to see how the game play is. Just press the PS button and the share button at the same time and once it blinks go to settings on your phone and scan and connect, I had to do this twice for some reason but the second time it worked

Bluetooth Controller Lag

I have attempted to use my roommate's PS4 controller and noticed some major input delay. I will attempt to move to an icon to highlight and open it, but it will take a second or two before it moves. Sometimes it will shoot past what I was attempting to highlight. The same thing happens when running Metal Gear Solid through FPse for Android. A 1 to 2 second delay occurs when I try to move or take any action.

I also have my own newer Xbox One controller. Has anyone played with that to see if it works better?

Hello Iv'e been trying to make the ps4 controller work with my s8 for so long, i decided to see if connecting the included OTG adapter that came with my s8 to the Gear VR and it works the ps4 controller shows a blue light and lets me control the game, for some games you have to change the controller settings hope this helps everyone.

I was able to successfully connect my PS4 controller to the android device. However, i was only able to play Asphalt 8 with. PES2017 didn't work. I am looking forward to more games that can work with the controller. Any recommendations?

Hi,

I've a Motorola Moto g5 and was just wondering if a PS4 controller was compatable with this phone? It pairs with my phone via Bluetooth but the controller itself doesn't work!

Does anyone know if it's possible to get it to work or is it just best to get an android Bluetooth gamepad? Looking for easier controls for my emulator.

Cheers.

You might be better served by asking a Moto G5 forum.

Nothing works

I have tried using a moga controller through pivot. two separate ds4 (Bluetooth and usbc) and xbox one controller through the usbc. The moga successfully connects and works within the pivot app but loses all functionality as soon as you leave the app. The ps4 cont. Connect via Bluetooth but no inputs are received. Connecting ps4 cont. Via wire just charges the controller from my phone. And the Xbox one cont. Does nothing once plugged in. I just want one of these controllers to work so I can use them on emulators(i have tried many)

hi

I have a honor 8 (frd-l09), official rom B380 - android v7.0 - EMUI 5.0

I was rooted with traditional supersu, and decided to to switch to magisk. Magisksu seems working well, apps with root needed are working, but magisk manager allways display that magisk is not installed, and a installation failed, when I try to install.

I would like to share magisk manager log but it is empty.

I also tried to reinstall the latest downloaded zip with my twrp recovery, same result. I dont know if it is revelant but the installation process reboot to system, even when reboot after flash option is not selected.

What am I missing? thanks

EDIT : I just read that magisk can not be installed on an adopted storage ... Is there a way to fix it, forcing the installation into a specific folder or do I have to abandon my adopted storage setup?

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] ulises.rodriguez:
Does anyone has noticed that starting from today, Amazon is offering a newer enhanced model of the BLU R1-HD, called BLU R1-PLUS, that now comes with a stunning 5.5" HD Display and aluminum finish to its back cover, plus 13mp main/5mp front Cameras, 32GB internal memory and 3GB RAM...!

And best of all is that now it comes with a huge 4,000 mAh Battery!!

http://bluproducts.com/devices/r1-plus/

https://youtu.be/D7gImCS3q3I

Blu R1 Plus is now on sale for $109 through Amazon for 24 hours. But this is just the flash sale launch price and, at midnight, it'll go back to $159

https://www.amazon.com/BLU-R1-Plus-Unlocked-Smartphone/dp/B01LYB4KG5

-----------------

I forgot to mention that In addition to all the improvements, BLU have confirmed that their New R1 PLUS also adds a Gyroscope sensor (that was missing in the old BLU R1-HD) for all the Pokémon Go enthusiasts as well as support for many VR headsets.

The R1 PLUS will be shipping with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, with a planned upgrade to 7.0:

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] 10033859:
I really dont mean to rain on your parade of a 100$ 3GB Ram awesome remake of what i loved about the Samsung Note 3, But BLU has a absolute horrible track record of keeping promises. :( . Like they said they

promised

they would upgrade the R1 HD to 7.0 but we have to use broken LineageOS versions for that. They made about 4-5 promises about the R1 HD and the only one thats been true is that they made the device itself. I have literally never seen BLU push an update to a device that actually added features or upgraded Android. The only ones ive seen were bugfixes for the Vivos and a december 7.4.2 patch to keep modders from SPFT'ing their Amazon R1s *. Sorry man but that promise is a joke **.

* To anyone who doesnt know. They released this patch because developers were using a tool called "SmartPhone Flash Tool", Or known in this community as "SPFT". They could flash other firmware similar to using TWRP, Basically they found a way to flash the non prime BLU R1 HD to the R1 HD with ads, effectively removing them, and they figured out how to root and install TWRP, opening the world to other such stuff like Cyanogenmod (never released, however) and Xposed modules.

** They already have 7.0 ready to OTA devices they choose, but they dont because they want to push it to devices like the Vivo and flagship devices. Basically its marketing, but shame BLU.. shame..
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
Oh wow , you got me,.

I just ordered it.

Hope it lives up to it predecessor
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] ulises.rodriguez:
10033859, since I currently have 2 BLU R1-HD waiting for the promised Android 7 that never came, I totally​ agree: BLU has a absolute horrible track record of keeping promises!

MrMazak, I just also ordered it...

So, I also hope it lives up to it predecessor and that BLU will updated it to Android 7, because I really think they will be forced to update it, if BLU wants to continue selling this phone, and also compete with similar cellphones that already bring the Android 7 pre installed...
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirefo:
So, this device will be completely locked down from the start? My guess splash tool is not able to work on this device, so no root.

If not locked down, and Blu has switched cameras, you all should be set on building and porting roms, if same camera as original R1HD, nothing was gained.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
I'm gambling on the fact that because it had no option for ad version it might be just like the rest of the blu line-up. and be developer friendly.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirefo:
Wasn't the non ad R1HD also locked down with an update?

Anyway good luck, phone seems like a good buy, as long as bootloader can be unlocked, if not, not really a good deal.

Seeing you bought one​, we will all know soon enough.

By the way, my Life Max never received it's promised Android 7 upgrade, neither will this phone.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
i didnt see anywhere yet where it was promised, Only reference i saw was a comment from someone who said "a blu rep told them so"

and its too bad that its a flash sale. and no way to know if it is unlock-able, before sale is over.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] yaconsult:
Too bad there isn't an amazon prime version at a reduced price. The storage increase from 16 to 32, memory increase from 2 to 3 and bigger battery are all nice. The few reviews I'v seen indicate that the speaker isn't improved at all. And the price of the phone is now back to its normal $160. I wonder if they fixed the bug with the battery meter dropping 10% shortly after being taken off charge?

But it's more important to me to have a phone that I can root and run xposed and gravitybox on.

I'll wait and see how rootable this is. Besides, I have a second Blu R1 HD new in the box in case I break or lose the first one. It is sufficient for my needs.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirefo:
It doesn't come with finger print scanner.

I thought it would.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] affald:
Does it allow 2 att sims. 3g in each slot?

From some of the reviews I read no it can't.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] ulises.rodriguez:
I haven't received my new BLU R1-PLUS yet, that will arrive possibly on Wednesday...

However, I am a little worried because, although this new BLU R1 PLUS should have included a Protective Case, to many have complained that they have not received it inside the product box, and that also the Back Cover of the cellphone is PLASTIC, and NOT METAL as advertised according to Blu web site:

"The Case Back is Machined Aircraft Grade Aluminum"

Regarding the missing case Amazon has said the following:

" Alright so I do see it is suppose to come with that protective case. Unfortunately we do not just have the case for sale, but I can put a 10.00 promotional certificate on the account, that you can use on your next sold and shipped amazon purchase, so you can look for a case that may suite your needs"

Please, someone who has already received the R1-Plus, could tell us if have had any of these problems?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirefo:
Some people has stated blu lied about the case being metal, it's plastic, also the gel case doesn't come with the phone either.

I am still waiting to see if they lied about it being 64bit.

People are also reporting lookout detected Trojans on the phone, so that will require root to disable or remove these Trojans.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
The phone is currently held by Amazon as "under review" because too many complaints of false advertising.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] ulises.rodriguez:
Thanks for the information.

I have also noticed the same, luckily my new BLU R1-PLUS phone was sent yesterday and will arrive tomorrow...

I hope it arrives complete with all the accessories and with a METAL Back Cover or I am going to return it immediately.

The phone is currently in the hands of Amazon as "under review" because there are too many complaints of false advertising, and I know Amazon is giving a $10.00 credit for the lack of the protective cover, but how will amazon or BLU are going to solve the problem with the cheap Back Plastic Cover?

Are they going to send one of METAL as advertised, according to the "BLU R1-PLUS Sales Guide" from Blu web site:

"METAL BACK COVER

The R1 PLUS's battery cover was designed and machined out of aircraft grade aluminum.

BLU once again raised the bar of material technology and aesthetic quality with its design of the R1 PLUS..."

http://s536785483.onlinehome.us/salesguides/images/salesguides/r1-plus-sg.pdf
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirefo:
Review after review says back is plastic, so is this video review fake? Or did this guy get a phone with metal back?

The only bar being raised is how many lies this company will tell to sell a product, One can rule out getting android 7 upgrade now.

If a company sells you plastic but promises it's metal, will in no way keep their word to upgrade their device.

The early bird doesn't get the worm with blu.

If you get the phone for $100 it would be OK at that price, this phone isn't worth $160.

Plastic back drops $40 off of phone, no gel cover drops $10 off of phone.

$160 - $50 = $110 so phone is worth $110.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] ulises.rodriguez:
The following youtube video posted by BLU, clearly says that the phone has "Full Metal Housing Aircraft Grade Aluminum" (go to 1:48):

https://youtu.be/D7gImCS3q3I

Or this video was made with another model of phone, or was made to deceive the buyers and thus increase sales on the first day of the launch of the BLU R1 PLUS!?

I really do not know what Amazon or BLU is going to do about it, because either this would seem to be a gross marketing mistake or it seems like a big hoax, because it is not possible for BLU to advertise a product with METAL back cover and then send us a cell phone with a cheap plastic back cover!

It is as if we had bought a very expensive white linen shirt, and send us a red cheap one!

However, I totally agree with you: this phone would be a good buy for $ 110, but BLU should not lie to us announcing that it brings a full METAL back cover before it launch...!
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
Received mine today. It has the silicone cover inside and sim card adaptors. Plastic film screen cover.

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] ulises.rodriguez:
Thanks mrmazak for the information!

I received my BLU R1-PLUS yesterday, but unfortunately neither the Silicone-Protective-Cover, nor the Screen-Protector were included inside the product box.

But the most regrettable of all has been that the Back Cover of the phone that I received, is made of plastic and not METAL, as was advertised by BLU when they launched this R1-PLUS cellphone.

However, as I today received a email from BLU, requesting that I should contact them to help solve these problems, I am going to request them to send me these 3 parts that were missing inside the R1-PLUS phone box.

mrmazak, I don't know if it's too much to ask, but could you please post a close-up picture of the Back-Cover, and also confirm if is made of plastic or metal?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
It is metal with plastic bonded around the edges for to clips.

And a piece of foam to cushion against the battery.
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] mrmazak:
setting screen for memory shows 2.9 gb total memory.

is there a better way to check?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirefo:
I use free -m from either adb or terminal on phone.

Your build.prop

Should be

BLU_R0071UU_V9_GENERIC

According to specs R0051UU is 2/16

R0071UU is 3/32.

But if yours is 3/32 3GB ram 32GB storage, then all is well.

I do not know if you have had time to try out this cell phone a bit, but I would like to know, how the 5.5inch screen looks in terms of color sharpness, and if the responce of the Touch-Screen is as good as with other cellphones or at least as with the Old Blu-R1-HD?

Is it true that it works much faster than the old Blu-R1-HD?

[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] ulises.rodriguez:
A person who has just received the BLU R1-PLUS, has posted on Amazon.com, something that seems to be a hardware/software problem or a Touch-Screen failure:

"What's up with the multi touch????

Byunknownon May 3, 2017

Everything on this phone is great for the price and I really like it except for one major issue, the touch screen, it glitches when you use more than one finger,

I downloaded a multi touch test app and single touch works fine, two fingers glitches like crazy and three or more fingers it just doesn't respond. I know it's not my phone only as I watched a review on YouTube and that phone showed the same problem.

I'm not sure if this a software problem or a hardware problem..."

https://www.amazon.com/BLU-R1-Plus-...8&reviewerType=avp_only_reviews&sortBy=recent

Does anyone who have already received the BLU-R1-PLUS, have noticed some of these faults or some kind of anomaly with the Touch-Screen response?
[BLU R1 HD Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirefo:
Sounds like hardware problem, most likely phone isn't multitouch.
