General :: Chinese Android Phone GPS Not Working
May 6, 2013
I bought HDC Storm MX phone from China. It has MT6589 quad-core (if that changes anything). It had all the chinese apps, but I removed them, and flashed gapps, and everything is working great, except the gps.It just cant get a lock on anything. After waiting a few minutes, it just found 2 sattelites, but didnt lock on them.It's rooted, and I already tried changing "gps.conf" file, but it didn't work. I attached the screen I get, when I am using GPS Status.
I dont know what the second icon from the left side in the status bar means.as there are probably no custom roms for this device?

4.7 "Android 4.0.4 MTK6577 1.2GHz 3G Smartphone Android Phone com Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, Capacitive Touch Model: 9930
Yesterday, i decided to factory reset my phone to wipe all data and i done that this way: Settings - Backup and Reset - Factory Reset. After this, my phone reboot and now the operative system does not launch. The screen lights on but doesn't do nothing, neather the logo appears. I've tried to pull out the battery, full charged it and some other things and remains the same.
I've tried to go to Recovery mode but i don't know how to access it in this chinese phone. I've tried Vol Down + Power Button, Vol Up + Power Button, Home + Power Button...doesn't do nothing, only black light screen.

I'm getting a ton more time out of the batteries charged in the wall charger but I have noticed the batteries won't charge in the phone via USB. Anyone else have this problem? I like the extra time but not being able to charge in anything except the wall isn't that great. Guess i'll just use them as backup batteries.

I just got my HTC Desire yesterday (my 1st smartphone) but I can't read Chinese SMS. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thank you in advance.
I already checked with HTC support and below it's their reply:
"I can understand the frustration with not having the Chinese be compatible with Chinese. Unfortunately, this version with Telus is an English/French only device. If you want Chinese on the device you will need to search for a 3rd Party Application on the Market. We do not get trained in the Applications so we do not support them and you will need to do some research for them. You can Google the Chinese Language Pack as well, but again we cannot support this 3rd Party Programming and I advise to research before downloading to your device."

I've obtained a Samsung Galaxy S3 from a Chinese vendor (live in China). It seems legit (weight, size, runs Chinese (no-market) Android 4.1), but upon starting it with volume down, I don't go into download mode but into something called "factory mode". A blue menu with the option to run tests. When in factory mode and connected over USB, Windows 7 recognises two devices: MT65xx Android Phone and CDC Serial. It doesn't have drivers for it.
I've found some drivers online but they aren't recognised as the right drivers for those two devices. Result is that neither Heimdall nor Odin will be able to communicate with the phone to install ClockWorkMod. It only seems to have a standard Android recovery which does not accept my CyanogenMod Rom file (Invalid OTA package, Update.zip is not correct).

It has come an Star A3 to my hands, with Android 4.0 and among all great things of IceCream, few Chinese apps I want to get rid of
the phone is rooted. I have flash the recovery 592zn.com_recovery_Star_A3_MT6573.img with Mobileuncle tools (included in the mobile originally) and done a Boot/System/Data/Cache Nandroid backup
Apps I want to eliminate :
Baidu input (and add the standard input keyboard)
own Chinese launcher (I have already install LauncherPro, but I would love to get rid of the Chinese one completely)
UC xxxxx (some Chinese browser)
Root Explorer (Chinese version, to be able to install the English one)
ICS 4.0 (also Chinese version)
a Chinese flash-light
a Chinese dark/light switch screen
a Chinese version of the configuration menu
so, basically to keep a clean Android. how to do that ?
I have installed:
[URL]
to be able to mount the nandroid img files in windows7-x64 but I can't see anything, it ask me to format the unit (?) similar with Daemon Tools .

I was able to root Karbonn A37 (MTK6577) using the software from t URL.....After the root process it instalsl this app - URL.....This app is in Chinese and it manages all the root permission requests as well as installs its own su and some other files.
I have tried to root using many other methods available here and only the above method was successful. After rooting I tried installing SuperUser and found that su is always getting overwritten. I would really love to use the standard English version of su and superuser, but if I uninstall the the Chinese app, the root access goes away.
Any way to make root permanent without the Chinese app and mange root permissions using superuser. Also what is this Chinese app doing, that none of our other rooting methods are not able to do?

I have chinese tablet, probably it's a any product of MID, becouse on start appear MID logo, perhaps it's only firmware from MID devices. At the back I can see m70008 maybe it's version of tablet. That tablet was blocked by too much write bad pattern and don't know google e-mail. So I tried do wipe data via adb, and probably I do wipe all . Tablet stuck on bootscreen, and system don't start. If I try run shell via adb I get error "- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -"what I have to do ?.

I recently got a chinese tablet that runs a direct port of the original android version, which im almost certain dosent support USB Host, howeve the tablet has A USB host port. I am curious if theres an app out there that supports USB host for keyboards and/or Flash drives. I like the idea of just plugging in my flash drives and viewing/editing my files on the go when I dont have my computer with me.

Since I upgraded to ICS and rooted, I've been getting this message:
How can I block or remove this?
Tried resetting the phone and it kept on repeating.
The other question: I am getting SMSs from some web site trying to turn me into an orthodox jew, is there any way to block these SMSs?

I just bought a new Xperia X10 mini Pro in China during my trip there, and now continuing to other countries.
I don't read Chinese, and most of the applications pre-installed on the phone are in Chinese (including Market and SE Sync !)
Can you tell me how to upgrade the firmware to french or english version, knowing that the hardware keyboard is Qwerty

1. Does the phone support Chinese input?
in other words, if the phone could send or receive Chinese messages?
2. If something wrong with the phone during updating, and can't start, is there any ways to recovery it?

I've got a Samsung Galaxy S Advance which was from China. Its stock widgets and apps all support Chinese stuff like Weibo and are useless to me since I live in UK. I can't get Google Store / Android Market either - these aren't on the phone.
It's I9070, running 2.3.6. I downloaded 2.3.6 online and used Odin 1.38 a few times but it always went "FAIL!" on me.
how to get it to run like an european galaxy S?

I got myself a Chinese clone of a galaxy S3 (alps 7102), it has Android's Jelly Bean 4.1.1 operating system on it.
It keeps on changing its wi-fi mac address on reboot which I guess I could put up with, I have seen other posts with similar problems on varying phones and have tried to fix it, as per the methods described for them, but I cant seem to get a fix that works, for my phone I am not very familiar with the android operating system but have some experience with linux.
The phone doesn't seem to have a bootloader as I have tried to boot the phones bootloader with the adb command "adb reboot- bootloader" from my pc but it just boots as usual, I have done a factory reset to the phone as per the instructions from the ebayer that I bought the phone from but that didn't fix it (as you might have guessed) but it did reset the phones serial number to 0123456789ABCDEF which I have no idea why that happened but has added to the issues that I would like to be fixed.

I'd want root access is to install Titanium Backup or a firewall to freeze/block access to a certain Chinese Android Market app. The app in question sends out a notification to feature new Chinese apps everytime the phone is given internet access and there are no options to disable it within the app itself. And since it came with the phone, it cannot be uninstalled, and of course, it restarts immediately if stopped.
One-clicks do not work-- they all result in directory/permission errors. For example, superoneclick will hang on step 7 and doomlord's method would reboot the phone without making any changes.
It would seem my only resort would be to use a different ROM, but there are no ROMs for this phone. Of course there are methods using similar MTK 6573 phones which are usually just clones in different casings, but I've read that using non-specific ROMs will result in a brick as there are slight differences.So how should I go about rooting this phone? What are the risks of using a non-specific ROM?

I have a Superpad 8 Chinese tablet that will not boot.At first, it would boot only as far as the "Andrtoid" boot animation and just hang there.Then I started trying to restore a different ROm to it.
ADB sees it, and I was able to pull the /system directory from the tab.
After trying to flash a ROM to it using this "Livesuite" app I found, , which completed successfully, but since then, when the tab boots, it displays absolutely nothing.
ADB still sees it, but whatever command I send (adb reboot recovery or adb reboot bootloader), it just reboots and does nothing...
