Gigabyte GSmart Sierra S1 question - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I recently bought this phone and its great
(specs, performance, screen...). However,
one thing bothers me a lot. I think its the software problem, not hardware. Screen latency is normal and it isnt a problem but it feels like it keeps the touch respond longer than I kept my finger on it. For example: if I touch screen for 100ms, it will act as I touched for 200ms. Its just an example, not a real time. In other words it lates to follow my finger much more than other phones. Can someone help me, can I just root my phone and edit some system files? Or is it really a hardware problem? Are there any custom roms that would work on this mt6589t device?
Thanks!

I would have thought my touch is good too but then i compared to other phones, it seems slower, but not really less responsive.
If you have time, please download dead trigger(free on play store) and tell me if it "lags" when you aim slower and when you aim quickly its smooth
Thx

hi devs
i am a owner of Sonyericsson P1i, i have had this phone for 4 years, and its difficult for me to change it to another phone the only problem which i have had with this phone is the message application which is not "Threaded View".
i know it sounds crazy but is there any chance to install android on it? that would be greate
thaaaaaaaaaaaaanx
I do not think soo.
i guessed so, is it because its not capacitive touch screen? or because of the CPU and RAM ?
What os? And capacitive or resistive it doesn't matter android has some resistive tablets out there.

I'm sure it's possible if you're smart enough and willing to put in the work. But is it worth the effort?

Typically there is a method, or if there isn't superoneclick usually work. Otherwise, you could try z4root, gingerbreak, etc.

Why would you buy a Chinese android phone? once you buy it you have no support and no community to turn to, the only one I would consider is Huawei

Because they're way cheaper than brand name phones.

Buy at least a brand name Chinese android phone.. Don't get those that have no brand name and are dirt cheap.
Chinese tablets are easily rooted. Phones should follow suit, but research the specific unit.

I recommend that you do not prefer Chinese Android. Though you will get good features in it but it has not such worth and does not contain reliability because you do not get any customer service. More over no warantee exist to which you turn to in case of any defect and China android also highly delicate

Also need help on a similar matter, so thought about writing my post here.
What I have is a:
JWD
Model Number: E7_V73
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: MAUI.11AMD.W11.37.SP.V17, 2011/12/9 19:35
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
Build Number: ALPS.GB.FDD2.MP.V4.5
Custom Build Version: 1328504061
If nothing else, I want to root the phone hoping that it would solve a very nasty problem I have (in the 4 phones I own of the same type): It works fine and all, but 1. In-call volume is too low; 2. When recharging, the phone does not respond and does random weird stuff. so can't rely on it for alarm clock, for instance... or even in case I need to make a phone call when charging.
Thanks a lot for your help,
L.

For your 1. Rooting will not make hardware (the speaker) better (louder). For 2. Probably a charger problem. Buy a brand name OEM charger and see if that works.
Either way, if you can install the drivers, superoneclick or unlock root are very good methods.
And about your question about 650 + 400 mhz, they use this as a marketing gimmick to say it is dual core when it is really not. The 400 mhz is either a) the gpu or b) some cpu on every phone that manages the radio

Hey there... now that was useful!
Thank you so much!
If I may learn some more with you (noob here):
1) It's just the in-call volume that is low. Other things, like playing music, tv, ringtones, and all are loud. Is this really a hardware issue? I mean, the speaker is the same for all of these things, right?
2) Right on! Thanks a lot. This was my biggest bummer, and it's solved. I changed the charger and the phone is working fine plugged in!
3) This phone, with this processor, is still faster than my Samsung Exhibit II, which has a processor speed of 1GHz and it is running the same gingerbread of my china. Rooting it made it faster, but still not as fast the china. How can that be?
Best.
L.
Glad to help
1. I think its hardware, since phones usually use different speakers for the earpiece (top of phone on front) and music, games sounds (usually on the back of the phone)
2. Happy it worked, I had the same issue and thought that was yours as well
3. Now that is surprising, but my guess is the touchwiz ui. It shouldn't be slower, though... what exactly do you means by "slower?"

Hey there, great to have your insight!
1. Got it! It's a bummer, though
2. slower = lagging a lot, and sometimes even crashing. What I have in the my Exhibit II is a Peach Sunrise ROM, custom made for this phone. It affected even the kernel, and helped wonders... but my point is that this china is really not that bad after all in terms of processing speed. It does not lag as much, and it boots much faster. Also, it does not crash as the Exhibit II does sometimes.
3. I still want to root my china, though - due to other reasons. I want especially to be able to take out the china bloatware, yahoo messenger and other crap. But I also would like to be able to use voltage control, tether, and other things. I tried a couple of ROMs but they were not accepted by the system recovery. These were "H7300_Bunta_V8" and "update_HD7-3GS_V3.2MOD". I also tried all kinds of otehr things, like superoneclick, Gingerbreak, and other tricks. Do you know of any specific ROM that I could use? And where to get it?
Once more, thanks a lot for your time and insight!
L.
Rooted! Now just finding out what customized ROMs I can use. Maybe CyanogenMod? That would be awesome.
Hmmm, the Exhibit II really shouldn't be slower... it really surprises me. Especially on a custom ROM. Sorry, can't get any insight on that, it has the same CPU and GPU as the Galaxy S phones, should be pretty beast.
As for custom ROMs, there usually isn't much support for china phones, so I wouldn't expect any, but hey-maybe a dev decided to do it. Try googling

Just received mine today
Hi davidayling,
I just received mine today (from: hongkongeek[dot].com since they promised to refund customs and VAT); excellent and quick service btw!
This is the first time I bought one of these china phones; encouraged by the many and mostly positive reports...
About the Phone:
+ To me it does look and feel just like the high quality brand phones
+ NOT A SINGLE CHINA APP!!! Just vanilla 4.2.1 - very good performance; smooth animations, transitions
+ 3800 mah battery - though I'm not sure if it really will deliver that much energy - but it says 3.800 on the label at least
+ Display (likely really an IPS): bright (even outside), wide viewing angle - very close to the front glass; comes very close to Samsung S3 amoled
+ 2nd battery included; additional flip cover included
+ Pen looks like a real S-Pen - no softtip; anyway the capacitative finger-touch recognition is not stopped when using the pen; so that can cause inconvenience when using it
+ GREAT (!) web browsing experience: 5,7" & good performance with JS-rich web-apps (like groupware web-clients)
+ Dual-SIM (with dual standby); however just one line can be used at the same time; and only one is WCDMA capable.
+ Worked on two carrier networks instantly
- no compass; well my last phone had one; I'm not sure if I really need one
- 220g = 170g phone + 50g battery - it's not a feather...
I am actually planning to flash CWM & root it; also I haven't tried out the GPS yet - So I'll be back regarding this later.
Many greet's from the hights of the austrian alps!

Hi Guys,
I found this thread and I was wondering if anyone can answe my question: has the s-pen any functionality like the original note2? I mean, something like opening the quick-notes on double tap or something like that? If not, does it have any functionality at all?
Thanks
Hi, the pen has no specific functionality; it's basically useful for exact "clicking" in the browser for example, or drawing sketches...

Hi everyone,
Here are some Pictures of the camera to see it's quality... took them in the 12mpix mode - camera and gallery work very quickly even with pics that large... not sure if the image size is reduced by the forum software.
And yes...
... we still have snow on the mountains, the strawberries are still green and my chihuahua enjoys the sun...
Also I can report that the battery is really as strong as expected, after 3 cycles of complete drain and recharging the indicator works correctly. Even when using it extensively (frequent webbrowsing, phonecalls of a regular business day) it reliably carries me through the day... the weekend left me with 25 % after two days. Standy with wlan on does not consume considerably much... great!
As allready said, it's easily rootable. Also I'm using the apex-launcher so I could increase the number of icons on the homescreens to 5x8, increase the number of screens to 9... it's a pleasure!

i have the star n9599 since few days. It works great, also bluetooth and usb service is better for me than galaxy s3 (in my bmw the star works very well, S3 works not good).
Display: the brightness is good, the black not so good; No crash, a little bit heavy but a very good battery.
The (s)pen is not so good, too much noise when you write on the screen and i haven't find a good app for note with the pen.
Rooted in few minutes.
I only have 2 problems: i can't update maps app (it seem play store can't install in the original path, i have also uninstalled previous version but the problem remains.
The second one is that i can't see facebook photos (or dropbox photos) in the stock gallery app (any idea?)
The settings app doesn't seem to be complete.
sorry for my bad english
Hi,
Regarding maps - i had this with google search... probably caused by inserting an sd card. I guess it is related to the default data location changing after inserting an sd card. So maybe you could try to set the default saving location to the internal memory in the system settings, then update, and reset the default location to sd-card again.
Let us know, if this helped, pls.

Hello,
I just noticed this phone too and there is even a thread about it on XDA (yay )
What are your thoughts about this phone?
the only thing im afraid about is because I heard STAR and some chinese branded phones are unreliable and may suddenly stop work one day.. is it true? or STAR is a reliable company?
I saw it being sold for 213$ for the mtk 6589T version..so.. overall, should I get this phone? how is its size compared to the note 2 ? is it much larger? or about the same? will it be hard to grip it? I mean it's 5.7.. even the note is 5.5 lol
Thanks!~

For me a huge amount of ram, internal storage, a battery that can last for a week, water-proof and unbreakable. And have customizable rom that can mimic any rom devices you want (i.e. sony, samsung, miui, CM or even iOS). (it's not hard to dream... :fingers-crossed
the restricted ability to connect to a network. Apple has the multipeer connectivity feature which can essentially allow for worldwide connection almost free of cost. (I haven't read into it much so I may be very wrong). If internet connection was allowed such as the WiFi Freedom Tower during the Occupy movements. I'm sure this is far from likely to happen but it has been done small scale already.

I have been using the Hi10 Pro / HiPen H2 Active Stylus Pen. I bought it when I bought the tablet because they still arguing that Hi 10 Pro is compatible with active stylus but in fact it worked like a ****. In Android I am using INKredible app but stylus work pretty bad and in Windows I download an app specifically for stylus and the stylus still not work properly when I try to write. It only work to swipe down and up and recognizes touching buttons too.
So I think that this tablet don't have real compatibility with an active stylus pen. It quite sad but it's the truth.

Before also those link won't work anymore, I downloaded all the things.
I modified my Chuwi Hi10 (HQ64), removed Android and installed Windows 10 only. Everything works but battery doesn't last long and lags badly. I assume if I change os to a custom android rom would eliminate both issues. Can anyone confirm? If so, which custom rom and how? Tha KS in advance.
