Hey guys ! I bought myself a oneplus x, e1001 even though i live in europe.. bad choice btw, i miss some LTE bands . Anyway, i'm gonna list one major problem i've got with it so far, and other minor things i'd like to find out about it.
1. It came with a 2A charger and it takes way too long to charge. I've got 3 chargers, beside that brand new 2A it came with, all of them charging the phone extremely slowly. it took 11 hours to charge the phone from 25% to 92%. I tried different ROMs, and different kernels. Currently im running stock oxygen os 2.2.1.
2. The phone firstly came with some very interesting firmware in matter of design, loved it ! I'd like to know how do i get it back, got no other information about it hope you'll help me out !
*Pressing 'home' button would bring up some "Oneday" thing with some chinese symbols.
*After holding power button, a red power symbol would appear on top. Pulling it would power the phone off ( extremely stylish )
*H2OS animation boot.
*No apps menu, SIMILAR TO IPHONE.
*Notifications ONLY on TOP BAR that you pull. SIMILAR TO IPHONE.
*All the things like wifi, mobile data, flashlight, etc BOTTOM BAR.
*When charging, some lights would pulse from bottom middle ( from where the charger is pulled into phone ). The color would change based on the percentage of battery (red orange green).
*** I CANNOT EXPLAIN ANY BETTER ! I REALLY HOPE YOU GOT IT !
*** I'M NOOB, I RUSHED INTO UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER, ROOTING, FLASHING 4K CAMERA JUST AS I GOT THE PHONE !
I tought flashing back a stock rom would get me the same firmware design i firstly experienced, this one sucks !
3. This is pure curiosity ! If oneplus x was able of 4k recording why didn't oneplus developers include it and had to be developed by xda developers instead ?

1. Yes, same with everyone, stock charger or if you're lucky/rich and have a High End Samsung/Nexus charger lying around, they charge the fastest. Other chargers are just eh.
2. I knew from the very first Line of your post that you had Hydrogen OS installed by default Its the variant of firmware that comes installed in Chinese variants of the OnePlus X i.e the E1001, you can find it here. (Site is in Chinese, direct link here)
PS - Much better AOSP/AOSP-RRO based ROMs are available on the forums. If you're on PC, my signature will tell you my current setup, refer to my Index Thread in the general section for a nice handy & updated list of ROMs.
3. Well, no idea tbh, maybe because they priced it like super competitively at launch, if you'll recall, the onyx was the pioneering device o boast such mammoth specs for the price it was offered in, i.e the mid range.
But as always, OEM's say No, XDA says Why Not !

Yeah, that version is full of chinese apps, chinese keyboard, and no gapps, wow(or just as i could realise before getting rid of it in the next second). I just backuped the stock oxygenos... I wish there would be a rom with certain features from hydrogenOs.

All these wonderful ROMs; I am impressed but:
1) I obtained my HTC Touch Pro by trading an unwanted/unneeded old notebook computer for it so kinda sorta in a way I got the phone "for nothing".
Addition: IE: I didn't purposely spent $400 to get this phone. I just got it.
2) I don't really need a pocket PC.
Addition: Not now. Not today. Maybe later.
3) I don't really need a smart phone.
Addition: The key word being "need". All I "need" right now is a phone. I'll trade all the cool fancyness for battery life. My old Straight Talk phone could sit there on standby for a week and not have the battery indicator drop more than a couple notches if even that much. I could use it for all week without charging it. Yes, I know the TP is a Pocket PC and a phone; just making a point.
4) The battery life on this thing is horrible (24 hours on standby costs 20%+ of the battery power) I assume it's because it's doing all those extra Pocket PC/Windows stuff in the background.
Addition: If I charge it before I go out and charge it while I'm out it may last the entire day but likely not.
5) All I really *need* is a camera phone. Phone calls, voicemail, text/media messages, snapshot and video, ...that's about it.
6) The extra unneeded stuff is taking up flash-ram space that could be used for storing pictures and video.
Addition: Strip it all out and I'll have room for lots of pic and videos.
7) Flashing back to the original ROM is easy and takes a few minutes so no harm done by "dumbing-down" the current ROM.
Addition: When I want the smart phone I'll flash on a super-duper all-singing-all-dancing ROM.
8) A Pocket PC is very cool but if I want a portable computer I have a much more powerful very nice netbook that is more or less a part of my body so I don't *need* another computer on my person.
That said, has anybody make a stripped down/basic/bare minumum/no frills/no extras/maximum battery life/minimum flash memory used/no fancy stuff/no wifi/gps/internet connection/nuttin-but-a-camera phone ROM?
Addition: IE: Don't do nothing but make calls and take pictures. Simple. Fast. Maximum battery life. A Dumb Phone (for now anyway).
Thanks.
P.S. No. I don't wish to trade it for a dumb phone. I may some day want a smart phone/Pocket PC but not right now.

I'm not sure what your expectations are, but only losing 20% in 24 hours is great! I doubt you'll do any better than that. An always active data connection, GPS, and Wi-Fi are the big things that are going to kill battery life, not the OS. I would make sure you have the matching rilphone.dll for the version of radio you are using, however.

What you've basically described is a Stock ROM. These are basically just ROMs with the newest build of Windows Mobile and some essential apps, meaning that memory and CPU usage is low. But most of the things that consume battery are switch-off-able, such as the backlight, WiFi, 3G connection, GPS, Bluetooth etc. through the Settings menu or the Comm Manager. If you haven't flashed your phone to a custom ROM yet, you won't get much more basic than the standard 6.1 ROM that your carrier put on the phone to start with.
If you do want Windows Mobile 6.5 but don't want all the frills, you can either be brave and cook a stock-like ROM yourself, or try one from the forums:
[KITCHEN][ROM][WWE][MAR-13-2010] RomRom WM6.5 23547 stock-like Kitchen & ROM is the most updated stock-like kitchen/ROM.
rmcknight:
>I'm not sure what your expectations are, but only losing 20% in
> 24 hours is great!
But that's in Airplane mode (all radios off)! With the radios on it will stand by for about a day before the battery is dead.
Expectations:
"Standby time: Up to 462 hours for WCDMA"
"Talk time: Up to 378 minutes for WCDMA"
http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchpro/specification.html
Reality:
More like up to 120 hours and up to 90 minutes.

Sad to hear. The ROM that came with the phone is full of extra stuff and sucks the battery like crazy. The Energy ROM I flashed has even more stuff seems to be easier on battery life. We'll see. This Energy ROM is very cool and maybe I DO want a smart phone right now. The main thing was the battery life. I thought stripping down a ROM would increase battery life due to less stuff running and taking up precious flashram space. Well, SD cards are cheap I guess. I can move as much as possible to external storage.
Maybe I'll have to learn to cook. A stripped-down stock ROM with *everything* removed except phone and camera software. It boots up to a nice wallpaper with two buttons that say "Phone" and "Camera". All radios except phone deactivated. It might be fun to learn how to do that.
Thanks, Guys.
I would happily trade you an LG Xenon for your Fuze.

You can try, but you'll still have to flash the entire operating system; as far as I know it's not as easy as what you've said. I suppose the closest would be a 6.1 ROM without Manila (HTC Sense), no bloatware installed and the hotkeys set as 'phone' and 'camera'. But I doubt that it would be worth trying to truly 'cook out' things like GPS, as they really can be switched off with one button press, and that's probably why nobody does (hence your search for a ROM ).
I've had amazing battery life using the ROM in my sig (dont even think about using android though-- it's fun but not ready for daily use).
install S2U2 -- it makes locking easier but also reduces how often the screen turns on in your pocket. You can set up the screen off delays and such and it saves you a ton of battery life.
Disable the touchflo home screen-- it's pretty superfluous and probably drains battery faster.
If battery life is really bad, consider buying a new one. Check the total talk time (start -> settings -> device information -> call duration) to get an idea of how used the phone is. Those counters don't reset when you flash a new ROM.
try timolols and turn off data.
@ Myrddin
I'll bet you would! Thanks but I want this phone; just trying to make it "My Phone" rather than "Sprint's Phone".
@Storm 717
>I've had amazing battery life using the

I'll try it. As long as I still have my Sprint Picture Mail. It's the only app I really use and need.

As long as I have posted them, anybody see a problem with the versions and numbers?
just make sure if you flash to flash a CMDA one and not a GSM rom or you will likely brick your phone

Yes, I've read that and believe it but why? Wouldn't it just not work and then you flash a proper ROM over it?
I know that if you give a little donation to NRGZ or the Capn they can do a perfect ROM for your "need"
Talk to them!
I hate to promote my own ROM, but give my stock-like ROM a try. It's almost exactly what you describe.
Alternatively, I can whip up an even more stripped-down version if you like. Let me know.

its because the amount of voltage/wattage to the radio (the part that connects to the network) is different between gsm and cmda so when you flash a cmda rom on a gsm(sim card)phone then it literally breaks it and also happens vis-versa

Well, that's bad designing. You'd think there would be a check for that in the hardware in case some noobie tech at Sprint/Verizon/AT&T was really tired and tried to update your phone with the wrong ROM. Like a splashscreen saying "GSM Verizon Diamond ROM detected - This is a Touch Pro 1 CDMA Phone" and then it just stops dead on that screen with an endless do-nothing loop.
************
MODIFICATION REQUEST, YOU BRAINS OUT THERE! CAN IT BE DONE?
SAVE US FROM OURSELVES! Can the phones be modified to detect improper ROMs so it doesn't even try to fully boot up/blow up? Some of us are really stu.. frightened noobies.
************
Or a modification in the [one of those files in the RUU folder] that examines the phone and refuses to proceed if the .nbh filoes doesn't match the phone it sees".
Is there any other way to brick a phone. The child in me wants to play with cool stuff but the adult in me says if "it aint broke don't fix it! You don't need a $400 brick"!
* Yes, I know about Hackentosh but don't understand how it works.
On the official HTC site, you can only download a ROM after you type in your phone's serial number, which checks that you have the right hardware for the upgrade. As far as HTC care, this matter has been dealt with. I would guess that techs working for carriers probably have to input your SN too.
There are so many tutorials and guides on this site for first time flashers that if they don't read them first, it's their own fault for being ignorant. Most chefs will warn about it too.

Yes but sadly a few don't. I have seen at least one post in the CDMA section that mentions way down "Remove the sim card while flashing the ROM". Oop, that's a GSM phone, no? If I would missed that one line I may have flashed that ROM by accident. Also, a few say something like "For the TP" but don't mention CDMA or GSM anywhere. You have to HOPE it's in the correct section. I just wanted to be 100% safe from accidents.
---
Moot point though; I'm through with flashing. None of the ROMs I found were as smooth and fast as the stock ROM. Beautiful, oh yes, but slow and locking up the phone every little while. It stinks but it runs fine.
I think it's just probably because this site is dedicated to getting the most out of our devices and what you're looking for just doesn't fit in with that. In my experience, I've never had a slow, unstable or just unusable stock ROM. I think your best bet is just to buy a bigger microSD card if you want more space for media, stick with WM6.1 and switch off everything you don't need (3G connection, Wi-Fi, screen brightness, any bloatware, Bluetooth, you know the rest).
With regards to the CDMA/GSM issue, I've never really considered it because I've never been the first to try out a ROM. If it really was posted in the wrong section (which I think is unlikely) it would only take one person other than yourself to flash it and comment before everyone realised. Just make sure you're not that person

First answer is that yes the manufacturers DO in fact have a way to block improper roms. This is why they initially have a CID lock. CID locks prevent the usage of Non-Carrier roms being installed on the phone. Once its had this lock removed, you are able to install non-factory firmwares ( like the ones these wonderful chefs create for us ). In a sense, you take it in your own hands if you flash the wrong firmware for your device, because you have already removed the protection from the carrier.
Second answer. A Hackintosh is computer not made by apple that is running Apples OSX. There are several ways to achieve this, one of which is using an EFI ( Apples Bios Type ) Emulator such as Chameleon or Boot123 , or by using a chipset capable of running the Vanilla ( OEM ) Kernel as is ( Specific Intel chipsets ). I could help direct you to the proper places to discuss this in a PM if you want further information.
Hope those answers helped some

1) I see. Thanks.
Thought!
The official Sprint upgrade ROM package works on a locked phone. I've installed it. It flashed and worked.
The official Sprint upgrade ROM's .nph file is a signed ROM, right? A signed ROM will get past the CID lock.
You guys are geniuses. Why not put a "sign" code into a cooked ROM for safety? Leave the CID protection in place and let it block incorrect ROMS. Am I being too simplistic?
2) The hackintosh line was a leftover from when I was composing the post. I should have seen and removed it.
Well, I am looking to buy a phone for my mother http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776087
And I am thinking that Hero could be the one.
I have just some questions about this Android phone.
1) Can I change the language of the ROM to lets say, French, Portuguese or Greek?
2) Is the community still active for this phone?
3) Any major problems that you can report?
How is the camera, Battery life, screen?
4) Is the GPS bad?
5) How is the screen for SMS writing?
I have never tried an Android phone, just what I have seen on youtube and read here, but I think it should be intuitive enough for my mother to learn how to use the main futures.
If you could give me some input, I would greatly appreciate it.
PS: My thought would be, buy this phone on ebay, put some good stable and nice looking ROM on it (hopefully I will be able to find a French, Portuguese or Greek one), install some French dictionaries, put some mp3, and leave it like that.

1) Yes, you can do so on most 2.1 Sense ROMs
2) Yes, although much effort is focussed on 2.2 Froyo (no sense yet) ROMs. Take a look in the development forum.
3) None of those should be an issue, though some heros do give up on the screen after a while at the bottom, and need sent back to HTC.
4) GPS is alright I think it's good, but I don't know what you want me to compare it to. Very accurate usually (8 metre fix)
5) I like it for that, with SwiftKey. But I don't know how well it would work for your mother, and it depends on how tech-savvy she is as to if she'll like it and find it useful.
If you're after a ROM to install and leave, get a 2.1 Sense one, or maybe stock.
The main features are easy enough to use, but I'm not your mother, so perhaps try it out in a shop first if possible, to see if she likes the concept of touchscreen. TBH I wouldn't buy my mum this phone, as she just doesn't get on with technology, so it depends on what she's like with small gadgets and buttons

Get a Desire or Samsung Galaxy S, pretty much superior in every way and usually the same price. If you're still thinking hero here are my answers that differ to pulsar's:
3: you may find various different problems with custom rom's but they are so varied its hard to say whether the problem will affect you or not - it is usually dependant on which features/apps etc you use. That's not to say the official releases are any better, in fact from what i've read they are often just as bad or worse for problems. The good thing is once you're on custom rom's you can quickly and easily try out a few.
Battery life - with the latest custom rom's I haven't had battery issues at all, but for best battery life try to reduce the use of 3G, WiFi and GPS and set the brightness to automatic or low. On heavy use the battery can last as little as 4 hours but with average use you usually see 24 hours or more and on low use i've got 4-6 days out of it. You can also get bigger batteries (sometimes makes the phone bigger too though) which can last 14 days or more on low use.
4: GPS has its issues! Some people appear to have issues regardless of what they do, others have reported it being broken in every rom try, most find at least 1 custom rom which works for them. From what i can tell ~90% of people appear to have working GPS, however for best results try to get a lock in an outdoors environment whilst the phone isn't moving, once the lock is established it is generally never lost (in my experience) until you turn it off or stop using it.
5: for SMS writing I found that the screen was odd to use at first but it only took a few texts to get used to it, after a week I was texting faster than the phone could handle (back when the phone was slower and non-custom rom) but you get used to its speed and adjust accordingly. It corrects most of what I mistype anyway so even if i type an entire word wrong it can still work out what you mean (almost seems like magic sometimes). Once again this is something you have to get used too but mistakes happen all the time on the keyboard, I am really happy it has the auto-correct feature (something the iPhone lacks).
Other points:
Android sounds scarier than it is. It is definitely different to the flash and simple looking iPhone but it has much greater functionality and customisability. If you don't like something about it chances are someone else doesn't too and there is usually a way to change it! As I said before the Desire or Samsung Galaxy are the current way to go (better hardware and will receive future updates too). The Hero is on the back end of its lifetime.
Benefits to hero:
- Custom ROM's are more stable as they have been developed for a long time
- Knowledgeable community because of how long things have been going
Drawbacks:
- Members are moving away to newer phones
- End of life product and no future official updates
- Slower due to hardware restraints
Thank you all for your input. If it was for someone who would really use it well, I would definetly get a HTC Desire, but I my mothers last phone was a nokia 2630.

The below is a method brunes came up with:
brunes_007 said:
Having bought one of these from China, and having very little to noting written on this device so far, I had to figure a bunch of this out myself... so I thought I should share my findings with the community.
If you order one of these from China, you will find that it does not have the Google apps and utilities on it. So to get them on, first you will have to root it.
The first method I tried was via the recovery mode, which I determined you access by holding volume up + power until it reboots into it. However, you will find unfortunately that the recovery mode on this device is locked and it will only flash signed updates, so that method is out.
I tried a bunch more methods and exploits until I finally found one that worked - that was this Root_with_restore method on XDA. Follow the instructions in this thread and you will have rooted your device.
Now that my device was rooted, the next problem was how to install the Google apps. I downloaded the latest ICS apps from goo.im - but remember, you can not flash these. I tried installing ROM manager from the market and using that to flash CWM recovery, but that didn't work. What DID work, and what I ended up doing, was simply unzipping the gapps.zip onto my MIcro SD card, then (as root on the phone), copying the entire contents of the "system" folder from that SD card over the /system directory on the phone. After I did this, and rebooted, I now had all of the Google apps working!
I was able to add my account and install all needed apps from the market to make this phone really shine.
My next goal is to figure out how to get CWM working on this phone. I am doing a bunch of reading on the topic and might have something to report later this week.

Hi Guys,
Can anyone please point me in the right direction on steps to root and install the Google applications (Play Store, Google Contact Sync, etc.) on my Huawei U9510e (Ascend D1 Quad XL)?
I just had a family friend bring me one over from China today and obviously it didn't come with any of the Google applications. I was able to find the Gmail apk online along with the GoogleLoginService and the GoogleServicesFramework apk. Everything installed fine, but I am still unable to sync contacts over from Gmail, and occasionally I will get an error saying that GoogleServicesFramework has crashed.
Any insight pointing me to the right direction is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I wrote up how I did this over at Modaco because they have a forum for this phone and XDA does not
http://www.modaco.com/topic/357994-how-to-root-and-install-google-apps-on-the-ascend-d1-quad/
I hope XDA makes a forum for this phone because it is a great device and I think is going to be very popular at least in Asia

Hey brunes, amazing work, I've also found a easier way to root it and flash on google applications with simple UI for newbies like me, I will update my original post to put that in, and put yours in too if you don't mind?
And for sure, I think as soon as this phone receives a global launch it will be pretty popular too, seeing how it's probably the only quadcore pentaband umts phone available on the market right now
Hi!
New firmware available here : http://www.huaweidev...uctId=3909&tb=0);

love this phone and its big ass battery.
My colleagues at work with one X and galaxy 3 want a big ass bettery as mine has.
I thought you guys would be interested in this
I've been using it for a couple of days and it has been very stable. If anyone else want to try it, I will post translate the instructions I got from the Chinese forums here.

No problem, I'll do the translation and post it up by tonight
But just remember that it's still built on a beta rom release from EMUI so it may be unstable, even though I haven't experienced anything (ie. the phone auto restarting), I can't guarantee for you guys :S
Amazing phone for the price
I just got mine 2 hours ago. My friends are all HTC fanboy so they told me to stay away from Huawei but I was just thinking to try it out and then return it but I think i am gonna keep it and sell my GNex. It is quite an amazing pone for such a little price. although the phone might look bit thick but the thickest part of GNex is actually slightly thicker than the D1. I just wish there are more dev support.
I find the camera app that came with it really annoying since you cant turn the sound off... also if it had 2Gb of ram this would be the perfect phone for me!
Anyways anyone else have any news on update to 4.1.2? Or is there other site/ forum with more support?

Beta is fine. Flashed my previous Samsung Captivate numerous times (various Cyanogenmod releases), until settling at SlimBean. Android = always a work in progress.
Regarding the D1, anyone notice slight choppiness when scrolling through the app drawer and such? I'm using Holo Launcher (which I used on the Captivate).
I find that changing the power saving setting to High Performance seems to have mitigated this somewhat. I suspect it might be a small issue with how the stock governor is handling transitions in CPU speed.

For sure about 2GB ram, and support is coming, supposedly Huawei will fully unlock the bootloader by late next week.
I get all my information from bbs dot anzhi dot com, it's a Chinese forum and that is where I found all of my information from. You'll probably have to wait a while longer for the office update to Jelly Bean from Huawei's EmotionUI, but I will be posting the guide on how to flash into their beta release later tonight.

Haha that's true.
I noticed it when I just open the app drawer, I'm using Holo Launcher HD, and it'll be smooth out after opening it for a second or so. I haven't noticed this problem when I was using the ADW or stock Launcher though, so the probably poor ram management from Holo.

Testing Apex Launcher (my go-to launcher before) now. Seems smoother!
I Tested with NOVA launcher PRIME and I say the transition is pretty fast but not smooth. (tested it on performance mode) But i gotta say the 3D unlock screen works perfectly smooth. Do you guys think it might be the problem with 4.0.4 ICS and not the device? My GNex runs on 4.1.2 + some performance tweak and it looks fine.

I had a feeling that it was because of the HOLO launcher too bad because HOLO launcher gives the most "Stock" feeling

Double post, need to accumulate a couple more posts so I can start posting links, but I have started to draft the instructions
I'm not sure, because the 3D Home was laggy to me compared to the 2D Home, and I didn't try NOVA, so I couldn't comment, but isn't it similar to APEX and ADW? If it is, then it should be pretty snappy :S
Edit: Tutorial is up!
Indeed it is snappy but not as buttery smooth as 4.1 I feel.
Here is a good review androidauthority
Thanks for your tutorial!
Hey I'm just wondering if anyone got a case for this phone and can you please give a short review of it. I m looking for a case that replace the back cover but wraps around to the front. I had a case like that for my atrix 4G back. I just don't want to make it any chunkier. But if you think it feels fine then I might consider putting on a case. Thanks

I'm using this case right now. I love the feeling of the back, it's really similar to the original backing of the phone's battery cover, and it's not too bulky. I'll get a couple of pictures of it tonight so you can get a sense how much wider it is compared to holding the phone without a case
Newbie Hiere
Hi Sir/s,
I recently bought a Huawei U9510e phone from China and i came upon your posts re the "rooting".
I already rooted my phone (thanks a lot to you!), but now my problem is how to install the google play.
I saw one update from Huawei but it is in ZIP file. Here are my questions:
1. How will i install the update to my phone? Do i need to download it from a PC first then install it in the phone or do i need to download in directly to the phone?
2. How to deal with those ZIP files and where to save them to make them work? For example, the attachment "huawei_usb.zip". I downloaded it but i didn't know whats next after that. How can i integrate it in my phone? Or if its a driver, how can i integrate it with my PC?
Kindly help by providing step by step procedures re my question since im still new at these things.
I apologize for the stupid questions but i don't really have any idea about those. Hope you can help me.
Thanks,
Androidneophyte

I want a rom that fixes the gps on the cross c1. It doesn't work on the one I was sent.
I have ordered the UMI Cross / C1 from iShoppstore and am expecting delivery just after Christmas. I am aware the problems people have had with the Chinese smartphones regarding the Wifi and GPS connectivity but I believe for the most part these are fixable and have been documented elsewhere. So it is with interest that I await to see what problems I will have with mine. I did see some newspaper article that UMI were going to start selling their smartphones in the UK.... http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/business/news/umi-smartphones-to-launch-in-the-uk-29610580.html Not sure if this article is to be taken seriously though.
It would be nice to get the KitKat upgrade for this model though I doubt this will happen any time soon. I am very curious if you have resolved the issues you had with the Cross. Can you let me know how its going for you and what problems you've had as I'm sure my phone will be the same.
Cheers
The GPS is really finicky. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. But, it never has worked throughout a complete trip of more than 10 minutes. I've had several other smartphones before this, some from China, and never had a GPS problem before. I guess it's just my time to experience what others warned me about. Still, I'm hopeful that a rom will be put out in the future that will resolve the GPS problem.
I'm finding the screen is not evenly lit but for me this is not a problem unless I look for it and most of the time you only notice it on a white screen. On Christmas day I spoke to my family using skype using the front facing camera over wifi and it worked flawlessly. Later on we did a test comparing the Sammy S3 and prev gen iPad front facing cameras and the C1 was definitely better. Tested bluetooth to link to home stereo briefly to play music on device, absolutely no problems. There is supposed to be a Yamaha sound chip but I can't make up my mind whether sound is better compared to my Note 1 when playing MP3s.
Call quality is better than my now broken Note 1 for sure and the 2G and 3G I really can't fault. Used the 3G quiet a bit on Christmas day as the house we were visiting did not have wifi and with the exception of some periods downloads were really pretty good. Haven't tested the GPS enough to pass a fair verdict. I did use it when I first got it and it jumped around a bit in Gmaps but I wonder if that was down to the fact I had put my 3G sim in the wrong slot so had no mobile broadband
Finding the phone is quiet slippery and the size adds to the problem so am eagerly awaiting a silicone cover for it. One thing I've noticed is when I turn the phone on the pattern unlock screen is a bit sluggish and I have to re-enter to unlock.
Anyone found any english manuals for this phone?
UMI CROSS
Using this phone since last week, build is just enough, nothing to impress neither to disgrace. I tested this phone for 2 days on stock rom, on stock ROM everything is working as it should but I do have doubts about wifi regarding link dropping. sometimes blurry camera, and just before I made my mind to switch to custom ROM, I did observed some random reboots. then I switched to LEWA OS 5. used it for another 2 days, NFC gone, blurry camera, Large icons. Finally I flashed MIUI, working great since then, still no NFC though. camera a bit improved(I rarely use mobile camera). after using Xposed modules=>app setting with per app dpi. results are impressive. this app really justifies the big screen and gives that most required tablet ui feel to apps. even some battery calibration issues are there, battery still produce awesome results throughout all ROMs. with heavy very usage battery lasted for atleast a day.

Not had any problems at all with Wifi or random rebooting, so maybe I'm just lucky. How does the NFC work is there an app on the phone to use it? Camera in low light is not good at all but a software upgrade should solve that. Will have to have a look at the Xposed Additions in the app store, wasn't aware of it before. Do you have a link for the MIUI rom for the Cross C1?
Overall I have to say I'm happy with the phone too and that big screen is great!

NFC works great but on stock, you can use trigger app. MIUI for c1 don't support NFC for now, as far as WiFi I am not confirm with issue..it may or may not be there..random rebooting started after connecting USB. But solved later by new ROM, camera is real let off for the phone. It may get better by ROM upgrade.
Use needrom for miui ROM with CTR recovery, and xposed 2.4.1, it worked for me...
About size, no one really notices the odd size of the phone. That's does qualify for nice design...
Overall its great for those who want phablet tablet in between.

Have you tried this rom and if so would like to know what you think. I imagine its as efficient as the MIUI5. Can you resize the icons on MIUI5 or can you use Nova launcher to do that. Would like to give the MIUI5 a go but will wait until I come back after holiday as I've more or less got my stock phone the way I want it and everything is working fine. Like you said I don't think the stock rom is very efficient but its fine for now.
Hi everyone. I received this phone in Ireland yesterday from antelife.com,(they have a bad rep, but are UMI official resellers and I had no problem with my order). I have rooted and kept the stock rom, and installed a custom recovery from needrom.com. I also installed xposed and gravity box. I have had no problems other than 3 times now my screen has gone haywire registering rapid phantom screen presses. Battery pulling is the only way to solve this temporarily. Has anyone else got this problem? Also how do we go about setting up an XDA section for our phone?
Thanks,
Teamick5
Touch wood no problems so far with my phone. Not properly tested yet is the GPS or NFC. Happy with the stock rom but am looking to flash a custom rom from needrom but will leave that for another few weeks. What do you think of the sound quality when playing music through headphones, not sure what to make of it? Camera quality especially in low light is pretty poor and in daylight jury is still out. Overall happy with purchase. Bit peeved of to find out warranty is void if not bought through an official retailer, all I can say if this phone goes south I won't be buying a Chinese replacement if they are going to be like that. iShoppstore where I bought mine do say on their website they would give a 1 year warranty so who knows!
Cheers
Tried my headphones today and there is a bug whereby the loudspeaker plays swell and won't auto shut off. Battery life has been excellent, unplugged yesterday morning at 8 and it finally died just after midnight in the pub. That was with constant heavy use all day and data on as I have no WiFi at home. I have also found an lenovo app called "lesafe" running in the background. I cannot enter it, what is it?
negative experience
speaker volume not loud enough and poor high pitch sound.
battery percentage erratic. when at 14% usage very long until 10% (i watched movie 1.5 hrs then 7 hrs standby, it died when i was listening radio and waze gps on). beyond 10% it dropped almost instancely. sometimes after reboot battery shows double!
can get into cwm recovery 1st few times but not anymore.
good points, camera/video, after gps fix very fast lock
yeah there should be a thread on umi cross.

Any idea how to do it? please give us instructions if you know how to do it.

because if the above is the official release, how come when I press my updater it doesn't come up to update.
My current version is january 2014 release. NFC version.

okay, just go to google and copy and paste below
【ROM开发者联盟】 UMI C1 乐蛙 14年-稳定版 14.06.19 发布 复制链接
then go to that link>go to the field box on the top to search and paste again and press the button on the right to search, you will get the result and click it and it will take you the website.
So I am hoping it is official release from Umi Cross.
I just got an Umi cross and found some trojans on the device so I want to flash a new rom onto it but I'm not sure what to flash or how
I can't even get into recovery D:
please help!
So I just got it a couple hours ago. My initial impressions:
1: Feels really good in my hand.
1: I got the glacier case as well and love the feel of that.
3: Charging from 23-84% was too fast to even believe it did it.
4: Performance is great!
5: camera has been fantastic for the little I used it so far.
6: Haven't had any heat issues. My pixel 4A was a heating beast that would prevent the phone from even charging.
So far I gotta say, this is an amazing upgrade coming from a 8T + 5G.
Nothing negative to say about this phone!!!

Yes, the os is fine. Plastic doesn't matter to me. It does feel good in the hand without a case, but I always have case on anyways.
Camera is fine, I haven't used it a ton. I don't take many photos.
I think it's USB 2.0 from the specs, I haven't hooked it to a computer yet. Though, that doesn't matter to me. Only time I ever am using a computer to a phone is to flash a different rom.
Charging speed is so incredible still. I never worry I'm at 10% and gotta leave soon. Give it 5 mins or so and I'm back at 50. Lol! It's fantastic!
Phone is super snappy. I really don't know what people's color os complaints are, but everything is fine for me.

If you come from a previous OnePlus, there are many complaints to be had. I went Samsung->pixel->OnePlus and the real OxygenOS was so solid. I'm on my 7tp5g right now because the 10t is annoying at every turn. I'm planning to send it back unless some cool developments happen in the next few days.
This version of oos12 is a far far cry away from what OxygenOS was like before. The charging speed is great tho. And the cost for the specs is not bad too. It's just missing everything else we've been used to as far as GUI, navigation and especially customization go.

Thanks for sharing. I came from the 8t. I was usually running a custom rom, except briefly for Android 12 when that was released. I guess I don't know what the old OxygenOS was really like. Not knowing that, this colorOS is fine for my purposes.
I do hope we get some custom roms eventually. I hope that whole msm with the need for authentication crap gets sorted out.
Specs, price and charging speed are enough that I would be happy with being stuck on colorOS... Though I will soon enough start itching for those custom roms!!

I'm ok with this too. I've used Oxygen 10,11,12.
I welcome the fact it's different in and of itself. Even if needing to use Search function within settings.
I actually got this just for the faster charging alone, which's a huge game changer. Up in these parts malls and food outlets had begun removing electrical outlets pre-COVID - they wanted people in and out quickly. Then COVID was the coup de grace.
I'm disappointed this didn't come with International OP dialer with automatic Call Recording function pre-enabled....this being an unlocked variant not tied to any carrier, sold directly by OP.
I was able to successfully change Nord N10 5G.
8T will be next after it unlocks next month.
But this 10T not sure how \ when...

Yeah, charging was my top reason for 10t over 10 pro... Some other things, but that charging was Numero uno! I still love hitting 20% in the evening, then deciding to go out for a bit. Hit the charger for some minutes and I'm over 50%! It's a crazy game changer like you said.
