[Q] Gionee E3

Hey guys, Im new to this site and pretty new to the Android operating system. I just got myself a Gionee E3, Dont say it doesn't exist or anything because its not on the website. Its not released yet in many places and Im in China where Im pretty sure they are moving the stock first. There is a video of it on youtube, just search "Gionee E3". Basically, its an amazing phone for the price you pay for in hardware specs (I think) but the problem is the Gionee stuff that comes with it. Im unable to do anything related to google accounts much less download from the Play Store. The current version is 4.2.1 and I've read that other people with Gionee issues in the past have had to root their phone and install custom firmwares and all that just to get google play store working. Now, Im ok with that, just that there aren't any instructions for this particular phone out yet, in the mean time, anyone know of any other methods I can try? Please??

Go on the browser and try downloading the play store apk?

Tried that first, didnt work. Also tried downloading the apk from the computer and installing it, didnt work. Think theres something in the phone that is stopping it form running Google stuff. Will need to wait until theres more info/a way to root I think.

Five simple steps:
Step 1: Root your phone using One-Click root or any other free software
Step 2: Install Root explorer apk from apkmania. Note: Place the apk file on your sd card. If you have a file manager, use it to open the apk. If you don't have a file manager, Open the web browser and type: file:///sdcard/ (name of the apk file).apk
Step 3: Install System Tuner pro apk. This allows you to uninstall all the crappy apps you don't need.
Step 4: Install google play store apk. Available on-line.This app allows you to officially download all the apps.
Step 5: Go out and Explore. :good:

I'll try my best to help you :-
About Battery Life on Gionee E3 - Decent Battery , Nothing to worry lasts one day​
Gionee Elife E3 Pro's & Con's -
​
:good: Pros -
Display is very bright , vivid , and crisp
Build Quality
Quad Core Chipset
Touch Responce
Signal's Were Awesome
Authentic Chinese Phone (No Rebranding like micromax does)
Battery is Decent , Not too much and not too low
Black Levels are Awesome
Graphics on Games Look Awesome...!!
Can Be Rooted Now..!
Cons -
1. Gaming Performance - This is the most frustrating thing that i found out as this mobile scores awesome on benchmarks .
I was facing many issues playing even the casual games like fruit ninja . I don't know what was causing this issue but the game was lagging . But on the other side a game like Dead Trigger Played awesomely..!
Also i was facing a lil bit of frame drops in games like
Subway Surfures
Temple Run 1 & 2
Asphalt 7
But on the other side Front line Commando Played Awesomely
I am still a little bit confused and thinking what is causing these issues. So i installed nova launcher , rooted my phone , deleted all the useless crap that gionee puts on this phone , and installed some task killers and an app named trickster mod (mobile needs to be rooted)
and did some tweakings in the app trickster mod and then the games that i mentioned played awesomely but for the time when the application trickster mod is running and each time u lock and unlock the phone u will need to launch this app to regain the access to the awesome performance.
2. No custom roms available yet
3. Heating issue near the camera when playing high end games
4. Camera Crashes Sometimes (Rare Times)
5. Screen Blacking Out and To do a Battery Pull (Rare)
That's pretty much u will need to know before buying this device.
Overall a good device ,
Some things Gionee needs to fix like Making their UI more simplistic and stock
Increasing the gaming performance by changing some software of the phone in their further updates
Removing the Pre-Loaded Crapware
Thanks & Regards

Adfree under KK

Hey Guys,
I have the following problem:
I have rooted my M2 KK with the method as know in the development section of this foum. After that, I installed Adfree and blocked the ip's from addserver in the local host data.
On JB it worked without any problems, but under KK, the adds are not blocked.
Has anybody an idea or a solution for me ?

I assume you're rooted. Do you have xposed framework installed ?
If yes, you can try Minminguard

Read that Lenovo will be updating this device to Lollipop in Q2 2015, hopefully that'll solve the waze not functioning properly issue.

I own the P780 and Yoga tablet and one recurring theme with them is that once rooted, say bye bye to OTA updates unless you flash back the unrooted stock ROM.

Just for info.
I get my P70-A rooted, but leave stock recovery and don't touch system apps, only freeze some.
Successfully updated to new firmware 129 via OTA.
Root rights lost after update so I must reroot. That's all

Thanks for the tip man. Looks like the OTA update process has changed. Can you share the link to the root guide you used? Thanks

Sorry man. Putting links to other forums is against rules. It's on Russian Lenovo forum.
Try to google for more. I hope this help You

Hello sir.,.I experienced the same thing my camera app wont open after rooting.,.Im currently using S129 Rom..can I have the Camera.apk sir? If its possible to be send to my email [email protected] I will deeply appreciate it.,.,Thanks a lot sir...

I've just bought lenovo P70-A last night, then i checked the specs using CPU-Z application, everything is ok just like the specs that's shown in the box, EXCEPT the screen size and battery capacity, CPU-Z shows the screen size is 4.59 inches and the battery capacity is 1000mAh . Anybody experienced the same thing? I bought it from trusted shop, not from black market, and in the back cover of battery shows 3900mAh. Please somebody answer...

My CPU-Z readings and specs on battery is same as Yours. So no need to worry

Well thanks BinEndre. I feel good now.

Today.Desktop Kingroot , Framaroot or ...?...

Someone can help me? Today, what's the best way to root my Infuse ? Desktop Kingroot , Framaroot , or ...? And the posterior steps?.
I'm new about , from Costa Rica. Thanks

Framaroot should work fine.
Sent from my DROID Turbo using XDA-Developers mobile app

Thanks, mrkhigh
Now I have root but I don't know how exactly.
I was tried Kingroot apk but with little possibilities of success ( is supposed that the Samsung devices can be rooted with the desktop version and not with the apk (I don't have a computer)).
I was installed MY BACKUP and BUSYBOX and maybe by consequence I get root user permission. Next I changed Superuser by SuperSu. Now I have titanium backup too and all work ok .
Thanks.

I hope in the future install CM
