Hi
I have read this http://htcclassaction.org/
If this is true???
It is true
there is no way to fix it with a cooked rom? or maybe with a cooked rom wm6.1??
I've just done a test with the Touch Dual against a Asus P526....

So this is the cause for choppy graphics when using things like PocketCM and S2U2?

Yes
I really hope HTC does something about this.
Same.
It's a bit pathetic really.
I was just about to buy this device next week, but knowing this I'm nor that sure anymore. I really hope they fix it, and (from the looks of HTCClassAction) they will
Is this because of the graphics accelerator? I thought htc were going to make a fix?
Uh. Impressive. What the hell's wrong with HTC? Being the "biggest" is good enough, so they don't give a ****?
A partial reason for me to buy the dual instead of the original Touch was because I wanted optimal ****** performance, and then it turns out that we've been royally ****** probably because they want to save money?
I have a stupid question ... possible some guys have ask it in the Kaiser Related Threads ... have some guys look around for other device, they use Qualcomm Chipsets? Possible they works with HTC?
I Think Qualcomm is Evil too ...

it has nothing to do with qualcomm, phones from other manufacturers that use the same chipset work perfectly, the only problem here is HTC's collective laziness in writing a fully functioning driver

Yeah.. I think ASUS P525 uses qualcomm but it functions perfectly.
HTC has been getting away with this since the TyTN... so now they've been doing it on all of their succeeding devices.
Update on htclassaction.org:
Update January 20, 2008: One person reported HTC support telling him an update would be released within a week. Let's wait and see!
Update January 20, 2008 #2: Another report has come on from that HTC support has said an update will be released January 28, no further details.
Update January 20, 2008 #3: One HTC support employee has stated that he guarantees they are working on fix for the video issues. It is unclear if by video issues only video playback is meant or the complete video driver package.

NICE! Too bad I was unaware of all these problems when I got my Touch Dual :\ it really is slow!
I also astonished how slow my Touch Dual is. I cannot believe that it takes to open a over 50 seconds to open 56 kb Word document. My Loox 720 PDA can open the same document in around less than 2 seconds. It certainly is not due to lack of free memory.
Word mobile is a business essential, not a multimedia toything and it should be capable of opening small documents quickly. The Loox is running WM2003SE and uses Pocket Word in which format the document is 115 kb. Is Word 6.1 slower than Pocket Word?
According to The Boy Genius Report, HTC isn't terribly interested in fixing the issue. This is the first response that has had any hint of officialness about it and it's not encouraging in the least.

Hello, I have about 600 bucks to spend, and am thinking about this phone, before I buy I have a few questions.
-Have you had any problems with the phone?(battery, hardware, not turning on etc...) I want to know every problem you've ever had.
-Should I buy the unlocked international version which has no warranty or the US version with a 1 year warranty?
-Will the X10 US version work with T mobile for voice calling and text messaging? I dont plan on buying a 3g plan?
-For US customers only: If you've had a problem with it, did you have a manufacturer warranty(no other ones)? or was it without warranty as in you brought the international versions?
-What would be a good place to buy one? I'm thinking mobile city online, but would buy from another store if they carried the US version for a cheaper price.
-How are the games on this phone? I'm talking about the 3d games, would you say they're better than a 2nd gen itouch?
I guess you are too busy to actually read through the threads on the forum then? There are plenty of answers on here if you just bothered to look mate.
actually i have been looking, have found some issues with the battery, thats about it

there are several ways to slove the battery issue. in particular, the new firmware will solve it completely.
im not in US so im not able to answer most of your questions.
there is no perfect phone in the market. all is dependent on how you are going to use the phone and what functions and performences you are pursing.
in general, im happy with my X10.
I can't aneswer your US related questions either, but I can tell you that I'm more than happy with my X10i.
The battery was an issue right off the shelf, but after tweeking it a little, it'll last me close to 2 days. Which is more than enough for a smartphone.
Also, not sure how the deals work in the US when it comes to getting a 3g plan, but I can tell you this phone is meant to be used with a data connection. Of course Wifi could work just fine for you if you don't want to buy a data plan.
Either way you decide to use the phone, it'll surely work out quite nicely for you.
If you want to play games, go get an itouch.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
ok any other problems other than the battery?
your help is greatly appreciated
oh and i already have itouch, i saw some youtube videos of xperia x10 games, but not clear enough.
so my question is on a scale of 1 to 10 with 7 being the itouch 2nd generation, what would you rate the xperia x10 in terms of game graphics?

Graphics wise? About 12. Much larger display, much higher resolution as well as a more powerful cpu and graphics chip.
You should post your question on Howard Forums, not XDA DEVELOPERS, you'll probably get more help especially regarding questions related to the US market.

Do not miss any steps follow close and pause video if needed
heres the link
A play store fix is provided which is helpful but installation of it is not properly stated in video and caused me to fail first time
corrections are stated below:
download es file manager, once downloaded remember to mount system as writable at bottom in settings of application
also download s3market files provided, i have never used other file provided for calender etc it has no use in mtk6575 versions of the device
store s3market on root of sdcard
copy files within one by one, not together to system location shown
install the com.android.vending-3.5.16.apk file provided in s3market.
fix permissions in properties of files shown
then reboot device
what i have corrected in the procedure will fix the stopped unexpectedly error 100% if done correctly in mtk6575 phones of this device
I'm curious, how do these phones compare to the real thing? I gave up on clone phones after receiving a very bad quality ciphone 09..
Visually Stunning, Functionally a failure...
Be Warned, the HDC Galaxy S3 especially from fastcardtech are not worth the money and mental anguish to get the thing rooted. They come with Gingerbread, and Locked, and full of Chinese Apps. Once you free of that, the Google Sync is limited, so you cannot get your mail, calender, etc synced. Then there is Colonel Zap which is mysteriously the only person in the world prone to be able to root these devices, but be warned again. Only unless you specifically know your Chipset in your phone, MT6577 or 6575, good luck with that, you should be wary of rooting per Col Zap, as in my case, there process bricked one of my two phones from FastCardTech. And don't get me going on FastCardTech, they are complete B.S., takes over a month to accomplish anything, then they send you the lesser model than you pay for. Doesn't matter all the FREE CRAP you will be offered with this phone, doesn't make up for the fact that is is just a great looking shell with poor electronics inside.
Look these phones are from CHINA, the specs offered online are fiction, and are burnt into the kernel of the phone,so it only appears that you are getting what it states online. you are only getting a phone capable of meager performance, NO 4g, 3g, but at lower speeds if your are lucky enough to fit the Mobile Frequency Spectrum the phone runs in, being their made in China, not a U.S. friendly phone in that aspect. Wi-fi is spotty, and the software is crap, bottom line you get what you pay for, and not many resources to get you through the hard times. Good Luck.....!! At least it looks like the real thing you can show off to your friends while they laugh at you.....
Specs do not match and support is very poor
I bought the "Ultimate pro" version from FastcardTech.com (as a new member i am not allowed to post the link) and it does not meet the specs given by them. The GPS took about 2 hours outside to determine my position. After a factory defaults reset i could not find the strength to do this again
The CPU is not the 6577, but the slower 6575. The camera quality is very poor. The wifi signal is very, very weak. (i have a very good and strong router) The sound quality of a phone call is poor. The 'gsm sound' disturbes the conversation all the time, as if you are to close to a speaker. When you complain to FCT, don't expect any customer support. They give to most strange answers and can give no specific support what so ever. After some time, they say i can return the phone, but it's allmost impossible to meet their requirements, so i am pretty sure that when the have it back, i will never hear from them again. (just read the customer feedback on any honest site)
Including tax, shipping and insurance, i paid about 250 euo's for this phone.
If i had known this all on time, i would not have bought it.
But on the other hand, the responsiveness and quality of the screen is good. Gaming goes smooth and after countless factory defaults, i have managed to turn off most Chinise apps, without losing the nice 'Samsung startscreen'.
All together is not such a bad phone after all, but its not what i counted on in the first place.
Now i am curious about if there will be any tweaks possible. Rooting, custom firmware etc...
I am willing to help if possible.
Kind regards,
Coupedevil

Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience. It's disappointing to read how unprofessional some of these shops are It's one thing when they mess up the specs on pre-release products but this shouldn't happen with a phone that has been available for so long. Looks to me like they simply sent the wrong phone to begin with. Their lack of knowledge of even FCE-level English makes it so much worse
I'm looking at chinastore-online to get the Jiayu G2+. The shop at least claims some customer-friendly terms, but so far I've yet to hear from anyone who made a purchase there.
So hang on you've bought an obvious Chinese knock off and your surprised to find its crap? If your interested I can do you a great price on some magic beans (cash or bank transfer only).

A clone in looks, but without the Samsung SOC. So chances of getting a ROM off here that'll run are less than zero, sorry.

I have this galaxy s3 mt6575 clone, same as in the pictures in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921178
I also had troubles getting the gps to work and started to think it didnt work at all.
But lately I have managed to get some gps signal to work.
I did flash the cwm recovery and have now installed the Lewa rom for it.
google "LeWa For Samsung Galaxy S3 MTK6575" to find the rom if you want to try.
Not sure if it was that rom that made the gps work or not, because I also did install an app named GPS Booster, as well as the u-center gps test app, and the GPS Test app.
Now I get enaugh signal to get my position. But the antenna is weak I think, so I need to be outdoor and have clear weather and clear view to the sky to get it to work. I did not test it in the car yet, but I think it might be to weak to work reliably inside the car.

None of these roms will work nor will you find one that will here. XDA doesnt support clone knock off devices.

Same Products MT6575
I have the software to update another model, which is not mentioned, but with the same processor.
I have also to update the software, it would be possible to modify intalando software programs and extract and place in another of the same model, but modified?
So manufactures improve their imperfections.
Out of interest does anyone know if the Nexus 4 will support HD voice? Is it a feature that requires baseband support or is it implemented in the system software?

Good question. I've currently got it on my Samsung Galaxy S3.
For it to work, you need all of the following:
- A handset that supports it (hardware-wise)
- A network that supports it (such as 3 Mobile in the UK)
- Software that supports it (The official 3 Mobile Samsung ROMs for the S3 support it, and CM10 supports it for the S3, but I don't know whether this was added in or part of Android 4.1.X natively)
- The call needs to be between two devices that meet all of the above.
HD voice is very impressive, though. It's like having the person stood next to you talking in your ear (which may or may not be a good thing, depending who you're talking to!).
I hope the Nexus 4 has it, it might possibly even be a deal-breaker for me if it doesn't.
Well, the baseband is a Qualcomm MDM9615 which should definitely support AMR-WB (the codec needed for HD Voice) so that's one part of the puzzle solved. Three definitely support it on their network, so the only question now is whether the phone's software supports it.
ja i have also tried to google that info... guess we have to ask the real google ^^ or LG?
really hope tht it will support HD Voice

Looks like the Optimus G also has it..?
So hardwarewise we are safe to go? CM 10 also does support it if i am not mistaken? would be strange if Android would not?
Also tried to contact LG but that did not help much. ( They at least assured me it is voice enabled and has got google now *facepalm*)

Forgive me if I am wrong, but isn't it the DSP that needs to support it? The QDSP6 does appear to support AMR-WB anyway, I just didn't think the baseband had anything to do with it, have I misunderstood?

The DSP responsible for implementing the codec is integrated within the MDM baseband chip, and from what I've gleaned the baseband does support it.
Still nothing on that?

Well I've got my Nexus 4 now, so I rang my wife on her Samsung Galaxy S III (we're both on the 3 network in the UK) and the call was in HD.

I can't wait to see if it works on the Nexus 4 over T-Mobile in the US. They recently announced support but neglected to list the Nexus 4 on their supported devices, even though they sell the device in stores.

Let's hope they have a firmware update for the upcoming LTE network too.

It sounds like you're stood next to the person rather than being on the phone.
Technically, I don't know how you'd check in-call, there's no indication or notification or anything like that.
As most of us know, there's something wonky in one of the media libraries in the Android implementation on the S8, one of a few fairly serious bugs yet to be stomped.
And while this doesn't seem to affect YouTube playback and can be bypassed by using a 3rd party Media player like VLC or similar, I do like to watch some Netflix and because of the closed DRM environment, you can't choose another player to watch those videos. So it's an awful lot of 'Netflix bad lipsync theatre' on the S8.
However, I have seem to stumbled across a fix.
*IF* you start the video, then connect your S8 with some Bluetooth speakers (I've tried it with a Logitech X300 speaker and a Phiaton BT100 headset) and listen via Bluetooth, hey presto, it's synced! If it's not, or if it loses sync, then pause the video, disconnect and reconnect the BT device, then play. It's fixed.
Anyway, if this has been a problem for you, give this a try. Can't hurt and might help!
Disclaimer: This works for me. If it doesn't work for you, I don't know what to do about that. Sorry!
And all gratuitous 'Damn you Elephone!' comments acknowledged in advance.
their team is working very hard (is what they say )to fix the bugs ,since octomber ,
their team is here for all of our problems with the device
elephone is very pleased that you buy a phone with high tech bugs
their team ,when you find a bug ,they provide you in a 3rd app and if it works please tell them so they have the solution
one hour ago my no bugging elephone was ringing by its own without noone calling me ,but its a reminder of the phone to get up the bed ,so i have to thank Elephone for that ,and the solution is place it in vibration
their keyboard bug solution ,is to change the app to another ,and still bugging
sound doesnt come off from type c directly earphones cause they cant make drivers for everything ....i understand them ,is they are working hard for other bugs that they are solving with 3rd party apps
they cant give a source to make a custom rom ,cause its has high class secret ,cause their rom is unique and bla bla bla ...
i wont give a damn but i will say Feck you Elephone ...
i will be glad if i sold it for 100 euros ...

You are not alone in being frustrated, angry and perhaps a little sad at throwing away money on an unsatisfactory product. After using a P8000 and an S7, both of which were pretty good for the money, I feel the same as you. The only solution is to make it my last Elephone, ever ! All I use it for now is web browsing and email and the big screen and keyboard works pretty good for that. Just take consolation that there a thousands of people worldwide that share our pain, and hope that others thinking about buying Elephone do some serious research before buying and are not sucked in by pretty pictures and impressive specs. Eventually bad products get the reputation they deserve and the manufacturers fade into the sunset.

Load up one of the many super-cheap VPN, surf around to one of the many sites that host media, and enjoy. If you're worried about the ethics of that, just go pay your netflix subscription anyway. It's not like they lose money if you get your media delivered through an ... ahem ... alternative channel.
There is an easier solution... Uninstall the Netflix app and install an older version from here:
https://netflix.en.uptodown.com/android/old
I tested a lot of them, and found that it works fine up until version 5.12.3. That's the one you should download.
Afterwards go on Google Play, find Netflix and disable the auto install new versions option (top right corner).
