Firstly hello! This is my first post on here so go easy please
Secondly I need some advice, I am at a stage where i need to replace my current phone and i have been looking at the O2 Orbit2. I don't like to buy without reading a review but they all seem very conflicting. You guy's seem to know what you are talking about so i would welcome your opinions / options.
My current phone is the Nokia E61 but it struggles now so it has to go, I also have to change networks because Vodafone has little or no coverage at my new house.
Thanks in advance!
Nick.
Nick, it might help a little if you state what you expect from the device, I am currently using an Orbit-2 on a T-Mobile contracted sim card, what applicatons/ software or GPS based applications do you want/ need from this device - Mike
Thanks for the reply Mike, sorry for the delay in reply and the sketchy original post. My main uses are web access/email and Excel/powerpoint based programs not sure how it would cope with these. Also any troubles with PC sync as this is something I do regularly and would be a pain if it was unstable!
The reviews I have seen have been very mixed hence i thought I would ask the experts.
Thanks again in advance.
Nick.
hello all,
I'm new and forgive me if I'm wrong de forum topic
I bought a chinese mobile and did not arrive on the model chosen, but another.
I would like to find out the model to see if you can update the firmware.
I can explain what I have to look in the phone to understand the pattern and eventually find an update to remove the menus in Chinese?
I am attaching a picture
from what I understand has a Qualcomm MSM7227 processor with 2.2.1 android and interface OS apple
can you help me understand if I can update the phone with Android version 2.3 or later?
I am grateful for the help
thank
claudio
Do you have more infos ?
There is a mark/info on the cover, on the battery, ...?
Exemple of a GooApple g22 : http://www.gizchina.com/2011/04/13/gooapple-g22-android-iphone-4-knock-off-hands-on/
With hardware specification you give, i think it's maybe the GooApple G22 (but with clone it's a bit dfficult because many model exist...), and as is an androphone, you can normally install clockwork mod recovery and flash it to android 3.2 (as i've read for the G22 model).
But before doing anything, be sure what hardware you have exactly otherwise you may brick you phone !!
I took some pictures of the phone.
please help
thank
claudio
Sorry but there is too much models with this specifications ... a lot use the ARMv6 ... and there is no relevant infos on your pics ... nothing found about freesoft21.
When you buy it, wich name have the phone ?? (they have always a name).
Unfortunately, where I had ordered a phone model has seen fit to send me another model and then disappeared.
I find it unusable as a phone
What can I do? you have other suggestions?
thank
claudio
Can you check this video and follow it, let me know if you arrive to activate english.
If your menu is not the same, try to do that :
Type this : *#0044# then press SEND button
This must Set Language to English
I learn from this，thanks!
thanks for the info, however I set the menu language English, but some remained in China.
but I wanted to do is to upgrade to version 2.3 of Android perhaps with a clean version without Chinese writing.
but what are the constraints to update with an updated version of Android?
thank
claudio
can you please help me understand if I update my phone with version 2.3 of Android?
thank
claudio

Click to collapse
me 2, at least i got the code to set phone to English language
still not able to understand what kind of phone is.
could be a G22 but I'm not sure
I would try to do a backup and try updating.
give me some instructions on what to do?
I know it would be alot of work and research, but you could go to YouTube and watch all the different videos on all the iphone clones and try to see which one your phone looks and operates like. Could be a shot in the dark or it could tell you what you have. Best of luck.
hello I am fairly savvy when it comes to computing & electronics. I have been following XDA DEVELOPERS for a while now & have learnt a great deal.
What I need help with is I have a Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S6102. I was in the middle of a flash when the power was interrupted & since I have not managed to get the phone to run correct. I have edge reception but nothing else.
I have been trying to get this device working for a while now & don't seem to be getting very far. I have read many, many forums by you guys, fandroid, gsm, and many others. I am not someone who gives up on much in a hurry but this has me stumped.
YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE...
I HOPE TOO HEAR FROM YOU SOON ON THIS MATTER.

:fingers-crossed:
I just shelled out about $900 for a really nice Pioneer AVH-X5700BHS in dash DVD, Sirius and what I looking for specificly was the ability to utilize the Mirorlink or AndriodAuto orAppRadio Live - whatever. I spent countless hours on the phone with the salesmanager from Crutchfield, oh before I forget- This is the second radio I have been sent because they keep telling me my S5 will work and do as shown. I am a starving student so very penny I dont spend on school, I put into my car/hobby/girlfriend - whatever.lol So here is where im at after watching and reading everything I could on what to do, I thought before jumping into just rooting my phone from an unknown source I would ask a community who knows this phone inside and out.
The Phone: Samsung Model SM-G900V
Android Version: 5.o
Kernel Version: 3.4.0
Any additional information will gladly be given
From a Youtube video of a guy with the same S5 was controlling his pioneer deck, being able to utilize EVERYTHING that the product is claimed to do, however he said he had to upload a root (didn't give name of source) and dropped his firmware to the 4.4.2, furthermore he said he needed to revise his Kernel to 3.4.0 - so that in his screenshot of his phone after his build number he stated it needed to read " SE for Android Status - permissive. Furthermore he said in order to utilize Screen Mirroring he had to download chrome cast, I couldn't understand why and that is why I am going to attach a link for anyone that is interested or can help!
I appreciate any and all help and or suggestions at this point - God Bless Jon Proctor San Diego Ca

Hi
Just so you know , there is a possibility that rooting your phone might not help your case.
According to these threads.

Stock Mirrorlink on lollipop devices has compatibility issues.
Maybe you can try this application first before rooting.

Again I am not very sure that rooting has "helped" a person to connect to a radio when the radio software doesn't support the device.

Hey guys New to the site.
Purchased the HAM2 from Consumer Cellular at Sears as a replacement to a broken phone.
I noticed on my phone its a B147 MT2-L03 (JB 4.3). My goal is to change it to B148 to hopefully snag the updates as i saw on the Hauwei site the 147 isnt on the list.
I have moved my phone from Cons. Cell. to ATT.
I am handy on a PC but this phone stuff is killing me. I have looked here and all over Google.
I have followed steps using Rooting, TWRP ADB etc. 99% of the time it says cant find updates, incorrect name of some sort The upgrade package is not detected, the list goes on. the other 1% it just stares at me...
The number of files I have downloaded amounted to around 10gb of .apps etc.
I have even tried doing backups from other peoples phones.
Used steps by Joshua Bass and Geek Redneck etc on youtube. and alot of the steps on this web site. I am at my wits end.
Thank you for reading this!
