The phone is working well right now, but I would like to know if one day I will be able to update it.
What are the steps that should i follow in theory to find and "cook" a good ROM?
What do I need? If I will find a ROM for a similar device with the same CPU will it be enough?
Hello,
Is your B63m works well with GPS? Mine is working bad because not positioned.
B63M
Mine works good. GPS works without network available. The fix takes a while. > 3minutes without mobile network available.
I really like the phone a lot, but I have a way more serious problem.
There is an application called caivs.apk.
This application sends sms messages (2 at the time) without your knowledge to different Chinese numbers...
You can stop the application, but because of the security settings it can start itself. I don't know what action causes to start the application and what it sends in the sms messages...
So far it send only 2 messages in october and 2 in November.
Something else is the available internal memory for storage.
It is supposed to be a 512Mb RAM, 512MB ROM version, but it runs out of system memory in no time. With only a couple of applications(about 10) installed. Also when you set it to install everything to SD-Card.
When this happens you can not install anything anymore and synchronization stops.
You can find some custom firmwares here http://forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=15960&start=0
Wifi
I have the same device , but having trouble connecting to the internet over wifi,
its connected to my router and shows in on the phone that its connected but it will not browse the internet have tried different browsers but just the same.
Router setup for WPA2 no problems with my other phones or tablet.

Ken Barwick is reporting new offical firmware release for the Vodafone UK V1605. His blog is here:
http://blogs.conchango.com/kenibarw...s_2F00_-TyTn_2900_-get_2700_s-an-upgrade.aspx
And the software is on rapidshare:
http://rapidshare.com/files/38302476/RUU_Hermes_VF_UK_2.07.161.1_6275_1.32.00.00_108_Ship.exe.html
Can any of you more techinical minded folk check it out - is it an offical upgrade? (can't find anything on the offical Vodafone websites). Too nervous to try it myself as my phone is a company phone. Anyway if someone wants to look into it and report back.
Cheers
Barney
Well I have gone ahead and done it - got too impatient to wait for someone else to check it out.
The upgrade went smoothly -
Stats as follows
After
ROM Version 2.07.161.1
ROM Date 02/06/07
Radio Version 1.32.00.00
Protocal Version 32.65.7020.09W
AKU 3.3
Now will rebuild with software I had before and test. Will keep you informed but all seems to be working ok so far.
Cheers
Barney
It's the same rom that came (installed) on my 1605. It's very good. Battery life is very good. BT on, wifi with a fair amount of use, backlight up full, 30-60 minutes of calls etc... and the battery lasts around 48 hours. Beats my T750v by around 36 hours.
Hello,
I own a sim free TYTN and use a Vodafone sim. If I update my TYTN with this ROM, will I then be able to install the iminent HTC ROM update without any problems? Will the Vodafone ROM lock my phone to their network?
Thanks.

Sounds like it is an official ROM then - can someone let an admin know to possibly update the relevent WIKI page. Wonder why Voda are using it for newer phones but haven't issued it as an update for exisiting phones?
Must say - no problems so far - all software seems to be working ok.

Since upgrading I had a problem with accessing my storage card. Appears this is a known problem with newer ROM upgrades (doesn't happen with AKU 2.x version) Have applied a reg workaround posted in other threads. If that works great if not I will go back to my previous ROM (AKU 2)
Cheers
Barney
Well the issue with my storage card is still happening therefore I suspect I will revert to my previous Vodafone firmware AKU 2.3 - Anyone know whether reverting will be a problem as I read somewhere that the bootloader or something like that will not allow you to revert to a previous rom. Anyone know if this is an issue?
Cheers
Barney
Loaded this on my v1605. (Well, actually I extracted the ROM, Ext ROM and Radio so as to continue running with Hard-SPL.)
Anyway, works fine for me. But the protocol version is actually 32.65.7020.09H (i.e. with HSDPA). I think the previous Vodafone radio had a protocol ending in W.
Also I had some problems with my storage card but I found that putting into a card reader and re-formatting as FAT32 on a Windows computer did the trick. The card was originally FAT16. (Curiously a FAT32 format on my Mac failed to fix it...)
Initial impressionis AKU 3.3 is fantastic and I'll be sticking with this ROM. New radio also seems to give me much better reception and call connection reliability, so far. I might try radio 1.38 in due course once I have a better idea of how this one is performing.

Thats weird because I just checked and mine definately has a "W" at the end not an "H". Wonder how that can be?
As for reformatting it as FAT32 - how long has that been workign for now. Seems some of these fixes like the reg fix or the FAT 32 fix work for some people and not for others

Okay, I found my first problem with this firmware: Vodafone Mail (242) voicemail icon alerts no longer work. The SMS alert doesn't seem to come through either. So no audio/vibrate alert either. D'oh!
On the other hand there is a new "VMail" Today screen plugin which does show you how many voicemails you have waiting. I guess the software is automatically processing the SMS alerts rather than treating them as normal voicemail messages. Which is an improvement (I always resented having to delete the old SMS notifications) but I'd still like to have the option of having an audio/vibrate alert for new voicemails (useful when you have call waiting disabled) as well as the spool icon which saves on Today screen space.
The protocol version thing is wierd. I definitely have HSDPA now - an "H" logo appears in place of the 3G one when I use data. Are there perhpas two variants of this ROM image circulating? I got mine from the Rapidshare link above.
Hey guys...
Sorry I was late on responding to this...
I can say that this ROM IS the official one, Vodafone are still trying to work a way on advertising and delivering you the ROM's...
On the case of the H and 3G logo's on the top bar. This is to indicate that you have HSDPA enabled coverage or 3G coverage.
I personal haven't updated to this version due to a number of reasons, so you'll have to let me know if you can make calls when the H is shown, in the States I could with the old ROM but not over here...
As for the Voice Mail, if that is the case removing them after delivery is a school boy error!!! tsk, tsk!!!

Did you allow the Ext ROM to run? I believe that VF use a cab in there to turn on the voice mail notifications (part of the service indiciation security policy)

Yes, I installed the new VF Ext ROM and allowed it to run. I might take a look at it's contents to see if I can manually run it again. (Not keen on doing a hard reset as it took me a couple of hours to reconfigure all my apps and seetings after the ROM update.)

You're right! I can't make calls when the H is shown! After several attemps H is replaced by 3G and call goes through.
Incidentally it only seems to go into HSDPA mode as and when I initiate a data connection. During the course of the connection it will often switch back to 3G and, without fail, does so after the connection is dropped (manually). Is this normal behaviour?
Previously (with the factory-provided Vodafone ROM) I didn't get an 'H', and my ROM version ended in W, implying no HSDPA. Nevertheless I did have SetHSDPA enabled using the fit4cat HTweakC and there were often times (in 3G coverage) when I couldn't make calls until after several attempts.
I definitely have the W version. Got it from rapidshare, no idea why it is different to yours. No problems with making calls. I used set hsdp to on but the icon still says 3g however downloads at 1.2mb so definitely switched on. No problems at all with voice mail icon, works completely as normal. Only issue is still with the storage card. Drives me bananas.
Cheers

I rang Vodafone about the voicemail problem. They've said they'll send me a replacement handset on Monday! Will be interesting to see what the firmware version on that one is.
Okay, this is really wierd. I tried doing a hard-reset and now the voicemail problem is gone! Plus I checked the Device Information and the Radio ROM version has changed to the 'W' version. As with Barneyabz there is no 'H' icon to indicate HSDPA but now calls can actually be made when HSDPA is enabled.
Why should the hard reset have made any difference?
And the VMail today screen plugin no longer works now that the spool icon and text alerts are working again. I really don't understand.
Okay I've done some more investigating... I flashed another Radio ROM (1.43, Protocol 'H') and found I had the same voicemail and HSDPA calls problem. I then did a hard reset and found it was fixed with the protocol (and behaviour) had changed to 'W'.
I can only assume that there is some customisation in the extended that changes this. Yet I ha dprevious tried manually running the auto-customisations from extended rom without any joy.
I might do some further digging. (Probably not just yet, however!)
Hi to all, I recently bought a Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt(rebranded Ainol Novo 7 Venus/Myth) here in the Philippines, and I have been having some issues with saving APN. Funny enough saving APN worked first time I used my Huawei E1552 Usb modem(after dissabling the cdrom and sd card), but after this I can't save APN and the list is empty. I read hundreds of pages on the net and here and tried most suggestions, with a few differences:
I'm on original ROM, and don't want to flash to another one,because this is the only problem I have, everything else is working.
I live in the Philippines and not SA or US. 4 months a year I live in Denmark.
First time I tried the modem were working with PPPwidget - but not after the new version came out, then I tried disabling the cdrom and SD card via putty on my pc,then the modem worked fine. I needed the cdrom in order to re-install drives on my pc so had to reset it to factory defaults, and when finished then again disabling the cdrom and SD card, and then the APN problem started.
I have downloaded allmost all PPP, UMTS, 3G, APN, System tuner, Tweakker, Toolbox, there is on the Play store and on the net and used market enabler when something was incompatible with my Tab. Nothing seem to be able to give me the APN back. It seems like the APN is locked somehow.
This is a rooted device, from manufacturer, only thing missing when I got it were SU, so I installed Superuser from ChainsDD, but later read that SuperSU fron Chainfire were better and uninstalled Superuser via Play store, then installed SuperSU and rebooted.
Android 4.1.1 JB Kernel 3.4.0+ Build number Cherry_A610_V2
1Ghz A9 Quadcore ATM7029 Cpu
GC1000 QuadCore Gpu
7" HD IPS 5pt. Capacitive touch panel WXGA 1280x800
Micro SD slot for card up to 32GB
8GB Nand Flash instead of 16GB
1GB Ram
Wifi
Micro USB 2.0
VGA front camera, 2MP back camera
Super HD 2160p
4000mAh battery
3G support through dongle
OTG but cable not supplied by Cherry Mobile(you can buy it in CDR-King for 60 pesos).
Cherry Mobile has NO support for this model on their homepage, funny since all their shops are out of stock with this model. I had to buy mine from a different shop. Ainol is even worse since their site is chinese only, can be used through Google translate, but then the search function doesn't work and you have to read through many pages and not finding anything.
When I start the Tab, attach the modem I get signal bar in notification, but "No internet connection", then I go to Mobile Networks> APN and its empty. Then I go to search for Operator and it finds Globe PH Prepaid, i chose that but nothing happens APN is still empty.
Then I try manually to set the APN, I just copy the info from my Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus, and then hit menu button to click the Save button, but this is were things go wrong - there is no save button, actually when I hit menu button, the screen changes to APN list and its still empty. I also tried to just hit the back button, same result.
I tried getting Tweakker from Play store, to automatically set the APN, but after the APN list is still empty.
I Tried APN backup & restore, backing up then restore, still empty. Doing the same thing then restart, stil empty. Removing all apps that had anything to do with APN or 3G modem and clear all data for them. Try above again, still empty.
Try my modem in my pc - works fine. Reset it again to factory defaults - works fine. Update firmware so I now also have phone and MMS - works fine. then disabling cdrom and SD card - try with PPP widget - not working. Then changing the dailup number, save, try dailing - hung. Then changing it back to the correct *99***1# - now working but still only browsing works. Ok decided to update PPPwidget to newest one - now not working. Switched back to old version I found on the net - still not working. Read on the the homepage of PPPwidget that the desired options I like besides browsing(TXT, MMS, Phone, Downloading from Play store) might not be available since the JB don't see the connection only some browsers do. OK uninstalled PPPWidget to try and get it set up manually like in the start, again not working.
Starting over from scratch(not resetting though - tried that on another "Chinese" tab and had chinese menues(ARRRGH)).
I'm back to the point that the APN list is still empty.
So my questions are simple:
Could it be that the list of the APN is locked somehow and thats why I can't add APN's?
Could it be that one of these wonderfull App's has deleted some system file?
Could it be that the APN list is read only, and only write for admin, where the Tablet thinks I'm not.
Could it be a general JB problem - I have read hundreds of similar stories on the net - all with different Tab's some with phones?
Any suggestions on what I can use - APN manager free is no longer available from Play store, and the Pro version is said to have major problems with JB.
Hope someone can help
With kind regards
JBJ
PS. Please take this serious and not as a thread to make fun of the OP.
Nothing??
Seriously?????
Nobody has a solution?
Never mind, the tab died after 4 months use. In order go bring to Warranty repair it would cost additional 3000 pesos, because Cherry Mobile don't accept delivery by courier service - only original owner, the name on the receipt.
I want to warn people not to buy Cherry Mobile gadgets if they live far from service center - unless they don't care about the warranty.
Hey guys. I've posted before too but got no luck. Did other experiments didn't work either. Now I'm asking again if anyone's got a solution. My note 8 doesn't send or receive Data properly. Works 100% fine on WiFi but on mobile data it doesn't. It shows the H+ logo constantly. But when I open YouTube or load Google it gives me nothing. Just for a second it loads and then stops. When I check my mobile data usage later, only 0.10 or 0.20 mb is used. It's not the APN settings, i checked that. When I put the sim into another phone, it works properly, no problems. I flashed the official stock ROM, the problem remained. Flashed custom roms and the problem remained. I can't use my mobile data. I don't know if it's a hardware issue. Can someone tell me if it's a hardware issue, which part or component inside my phone would be responsible for this problem? I don't have access to service centers or mobile experts. My last action would be to just sell it.
Would appreciate it very much if someone came up with a solution. Thanks
Hello.
So i bought the iqoo 7 Legend Chinese version last April and since the beginning im facing some Issues...
I thought that with a OTA update wiil become normal, but no.
So the problem is, even if the phone have mobile data on, with the 4g or 4g+ signal, he loses connections, speed transfer is like 100 kbs... He changes from 4g+ to 4g on a second, and the data transfer stucks... Its strange..
And the other thing, the notifications... I dont receive wattsapp, email, other apps notifications... Anyone have the same issue? If someone could help i apreciate... Thanks.
Are you using the phone in a country other than china, if yes then probably it is because of a different baseband/radio version. You need the particular country software version on your device.
The signal depends on compatibility of the phone, but notifications can be turned on in the settings of every app.
If you still have problems after turning on and giving priorities to the norifications, you could use adb (or adb appcontrol) to uninstall an app Called PEM (is the vivo battery management, and is very aggressive with notifications), but it will increase battery consumption.
Hello all,
I have a cable modem, which broadcasts 2.4 and 5 GHz wifi signals. My internet connection speed is 1000 Mbps.
The problem is, that the wifi-based internet acts quite strange. I don't know how to explain it precisely, sorry for the lame description. My experiences so far:
Connecting to the wifi signals with the phone are fast and flawless. Both to the 2.4 and 5 GHZ networks.
The phone is within the 0,5-1 meter range from the source, the signal strength is maximum.
From the user's aspect it seems that the internet speed is wobbling from normal to very slow.
It seems like the host resolving is extremely slow, the downloading speed is fine.
Speedtest app displays ~500 Mbps download speed but sometimes it takes a minute to establish the measuring connection.
In most cases I'm unable to install or update apps from the Play Store. I can browse the store without problems, but the apps are not downloading, instead I'm getting a few minutes long "pending" text, then an error which displays "The app cannot be dowbloaded". In some cases the apps are downloaded.
I've tried the following:
The problem affects both the 2.4 and the 5 GHz networks.
Slowdowns are appearing both in browser and applications.
Another devices on the same networks are working fine. Even my old Samsung S7, an iPhon7 and a Realme Pad.
I have already checked the wifi channel population, there are no relevant interferences.
If I turn off then restart or switching between the wifi networks, it seems working fine for a minute then it starts to lagging again.
Mobile broadband connection is working perfectly.
Any tips and help are much appreciated. Thank you.

RMX3301_11_A.10 is the latest version. It came out yesterday.
I have the latest ROM.
In the meantime I have figured out that the host resolving slowdowns were caused by an adblocking app, EVEN if it was turned off entirely.
Google Play Store downloads still struggling though. Sometimes they're lightning fast, in other cases do not finish.
I'm continuing the investigation.

How did you do the initial installation? Everything from scratch or from a backup of your previous phone?.
If you did the initial install from a backup, I recommend doing a hard reset and installing everything from scratch. The phone will work much better.

I did it from a backup, then installed some other stuff manually. To be honest, the phone started doing it automatically during the initial setup and I let it go. Does it matter?

Of course it matters, first, surely the backup was from android 11 and in the Realme you have android 12 and they are also different models, different processors. Some applications will create incompatibilities and that will make the phone work erratically.

Thanks for the tip, I will do a hard reset then and see what happens.
Well, I did a hard reset (a clean wipe) and reinstalled everything manually.
Google Play Store (from now on: GPS) still not working properly, but the browsing speed and everything else is fine.
In most cases GPS downloads are in "pending" status, then after one or two minutes, it displays a "can not download" error.
The interesting thing is, if I turn off then immediately on the wifi connection the downloads continue with full speed. This is working for a minute or so, then the connection become unstable again.
Quite annoying, but I can live with that until it affects only GPS downloads. Everything else looks normal (browsing, in-app downloads, notifications, messaging speed etc.)
For the Google Play store issue try this.
1. Go to system settings
2. Go to APPS
3. Go to APP management
4. Go to Google Play Store and open it
5. Tap the 3 dots at the top right
6. Choose uninstall updates
See if this begins to work properly afterwards

Unfortunately, it did not solve the problem.
If you have access to another wifi in another location does the Google Play store issue continue? If it works then you have some type of issue with the wifi at your location.
