Hi,
can someone help me with my issue with Android ?
It doesn't work after LOOOONG boot:
1. camera
2. Wifi
3. GSM module + data connection
This things are the most important for me and it doesn't work.
Do you have tips because this procedure upwards doesn't work.
I configure it with this procedure from samsanchez88:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641021&page=154
Or do you have some other procedure in which will work: GSM module, GPS, WIFI and Camera ?
Thanks for help.
GSM Fix
In the Setup.txt you will notice close to the end there is a command Force_CDMA=1 change the 1 to a 0.
As far as the WiFi, It works fine on mine so does the WiFi Router.
Camera is not working yet.

Does will somebody fix the camrea problem or rather will fix this issue in Android 2.2?
Does the data connection works on your Topaz [ EDGE, UMTS, HSPDA ] ?
Currently zImage or kennel for topaz is incomplete, despite xdandroid builds are working fine on other devices except camera, such as original diamond. So, topaz has some functionalities being worked on.The lastest achievement is gps(buggy) and slight power management.The camera is not even supported by android according to xdandroid page. This does not seem to be zImage problem.
If you want most complete bleading edge kenel drivers and fix bugs, go to glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/ and read people's comments and download accordingly.(some builds are screwed bewarned)
Camera
So Camera will never work on TOPAZ ?
It doesnt work the data connection why ? It also doesn't work ?
Why doesnt work moutUSB as external storage ? It also doesn't work ?
devs are working on everything.
camera support is comming that is only thing not supported by haret android system yet.
mount usb does not work because simply you cannot afford to give sd card to pc while you are using it. That does not mean impossible as devs are again working on it.
data is actually working go above link to replace zimage with latest version(do read people's comments if data is working. ) and it should work. is sad that shadowline abandoned the thread and android devs are seem to be working more on bringing leo to android instead of topaz...
go wiki and read advanced user section pls....
1. Do you know when exactly will work the camera [ in 2 months, 3 monts, 4 monts ] ?
2. It have sense to work as function "mount usb" - flash disk, I use it on Win Mobile everyday as flash disk. Do someone of devs want work on it?
3.Will someone work also on the power managment that the device can run at least one day ?
4. Why doesn't work the speaker or headphones when I play music ?
Thanks for info.
As squarememory says, the developers are working on all this issues. Porting android and a linux kernel to this phones is not a simple job. The kernel support general hard, but the config for the phone is very specific. Adjusting drivers to work with the phone's hard implies a lot of work.
Grab a seat, take it easy, they are doing an excellent job, and when they got issues solved, you gonna see the results reflected in the repos.
I know that they are doing goog job but can you tell me just rough estimation when main bugs [ Power, Camera, SOUND from speakers or headset ] will be solved ?
Thanks.
Mate, no one is paying them to do this, they're not a company or selling this as a product. And like everyone else they have a Real Life, a job, family, etc.
That will be ready when they have time and when they can solve the problems.
1 day, 20 years or never. No one will never know, so try help instead of asking when or why because no one here have the obligation to do it.
Dude, I know they do that for free and have theirs lives. But human is not patient if something like and that's my story. I appreciate their work because it's amazing to run different OS on the same phone.
That's it. I didn't want to bother anyone.
be patient or buy an andriod device.
I know the answer. And it is... "nobody knows"
Porting is a serious job, which requires TONS of inspiration, time and knowledge. Let's suppose "knowledge" is a fixed value (at least not decreasing during the process), but "time" and "inspiration" can't really be estimated.
In other words, it's a hack and it will be there... when it is ready
for this to work you'll need to have the latest "modules-*******" for topaz file
@ all
For connection with sd-card and management about android,read this thread.
With the last kernel and XDAndroid it works like a charme.

Only thing that not working on my topaz is the camera,but i hope they can fix it soon.
Hi all,
does anyone know if exists an adapter to make O2X dual SIM. It would be GREAT because i have a personal mobile (O2X) and a mobile for my work and i would like to use the two SIM card in the same mobile.
Thanks by advance for your answers
The dual sim converters at ebay will work, since it does for my spica.
do you still have the link to the object please?
nobody ? please some answers
Did you try search for it at ebay?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
yes but it gives me nothing
Never tried but is it that ?

None of the adapters will work with any 3g networks so if your network only does 3g and up forget about it.
There are lots here. 3G is working too. But only 1 sim is active.

Hi.
I´m from Germany and I had the same problem (two SIM, one privat and one for work). I bought a digital dual-SIM-adapter from g-telware (just search for it on google). This one is working pretty well. The SIM from my employment/work is a twin-bill, so I´m able to use and switch 3 Numbers (two on twin-bill-card and one on privat) via STK-App.
Unfortunately it only works with the Stock-ROM or a MoDaCo-based Rom. On CM7-based ROMs I have the problem, that switching between the SIM-Cards ends in an error massage saying like "We are sorry! The application com.phone.android isn´t working any more. Please try again later." (translated from German, I think the English massage should sound different).
Anyway, I don´t really think, that this is a problem of the adapter then a problem of the phone-apk used in CM7. Noone was able to tell me, how to solve that problem or why it happens, so I´m back to Stock-ROM.
Maybe someone here (for example some expert ) could have an solvation to that problem?
Big thanks for this good answer. I found g-telware website. But there are many SIM Card. Do you remember which one you buy?
I search a "no cut" adapter. If possible that is compatible with UMTS/HSPDA.
For your problem, maybe you can try to take phone.apk from Stock Rom and replace it in CM7. Or better, you can wait gingerbread update, i saw on another thread that it is scheduled in 15 days.
Thanks by advance

I´ve chosen the GDSA3G (search for "Art.Nr."). I tryed the GDS16th-A before, because I baught a Samsung Wave before. That one doesn´t work correctly in P990.
The phone.apk is not replaceable in a common way. I tried that with root explorer app, the phone.apk crashed.
So I will have to wait for the Update, but I doubt, that it´ll be released in 15 days. On the other hand, I´m of the opinion, that there has to be an explainable (and much more changeable) reason for that error in CM7. The only thing might be, that such a constellation like a dual-SIM-adapter is very rare, so that no one has ever thought about it (unfortunately).
Ok, i watched GDSA3G on the website. Can you confirm that you have to cut the sim cards ?

Yes, you have to cut them, but it was no big problem for me. It is pretty simple.

Yes, but i can't cut the sim card of my work or they'll kill me ....
I just sent email to simore to know if their adapters work for LG Optimus 2X.
I'll keep you informed.
Thanks for your help !
Solution for phone.apk crash?
Just want to mention, that I did a call forwarding from the "work" SIM-card to my private SIM. So people can call me at any time. In that case you should ask your employer, if there will be any costs doing this (in my case it doesn´t matter, because both SIMs are Telekom).
I´m still dissatisfied with the crashing of the phone.apk. Maybe one of the moderators could make this problem official?
Any help?

Maybe this is one point on the list of not working features of CM7. Unfortunately I´m not allowed to post there at the moment.
Dual SIM on CM or MIUI build ROM
Hey Guy`s!
Already investigated a little in the above mentioned and apparently there`s no big shot at this issue within CM or MIUI Community! I know there`s one guy got it running with his own efforts on CM, don`t know about MIUI. I`m using MAGICCARD 3G, it`s a china made digital cut adapter which works flawlessley on all froyo and gingerbread builds with STK.apk. No probs here with battery issues or disconnects or whatsoever, just fine. Heard that it should work with it`s built-in 007 mode (switching by dialing 001/002) in CM builds, never tested it myself though. Probably I´ll give it a try the next days!
Regards BG1
Also got it running flawlessly here. Dual sim 28th gen Plus cut from www.magic-sim.com
Hello!
OK, this is gonna be a tough one. My first thread.
I've already searched a million times a solution for this problem, I've looked on almost every related Q&A post over and over again and still nothing.
Now, I have a Samsung Galaxy S Plus with CM9 (this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825260).
Everything was going smooth until today when I installed a GPS navigation program called iGO My Way ( this version: 8.4.2.139242). And of course... it doesn't work. To be more specific, I performed a clean install, opened the program (`till now everything is ok) but when It comes to connecting to GPS satellites, I waited for 30 minutes and it didn't find my location. Then I opened phone settings and enabled " Use GPS satellites" and tried again but it still doesn't work.
I don't want to try another program `cause this one is one of the best and it worked on my official ROM.
In the cm9 topic by ivendor, he says that gps is working fine, and yes, GPS is working fine in Google Maps for example.
I read the rules, I hope everything is ok and someone will be able to help me. Thanks in advice.
I posted here, since is my first post and I'm not allowed to post on the development forum.
Ok, I managed to solve the problem myself. If anyone has this problem, contact me and I'll help.
Got my hands - ( don't ask how ) - on what appears to be a fake S5 Mini. Everything about it says Samsung, however neither Kies nor Odin detect the phone and the specs are all wrong anyway. Attached are screenshots from Device Info and CPU-Z.
The phone actually works OK, though it's not nearly as good as a real S5 Mini. But there are several glitches in the system: some apps or options just don't work, multi-language support is deficient, etc.
Nothing surprising from a clone.
Question: is there a ROM I can try to load to that device to see if I can make it work better? I was reading up on MoKee (because of the serrano3g identifier in the model name displayed by CPU-Z), would one of those ROMs work? The phone/wifi/BT portions all work correctly, so I guess there's no need to flash a new radio. Then again, I haven't flashed an Android device in a couple years, I'm basically like a newbie at that stuff, so if anyone can provide me with information on what/how to flash, I'd be grateful.
Thanks!
neat
Any pictures of the phone itself?
SOC seems to be a MediaTek MT6572 if correct see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687487
@protogenxl: Visually, it's an exact replica of a Samsung S5 Mini, with the brandname and all. So if you check out the Samsung site, you'll find plenty of pictures there!
As for the thread you mentioned, I had already read it but I'm still not sure whether that particular ROM can be installed on my device, even though it's a MT6572 ROM. And keep in mind that I am a newbie on flashing devices, so I'm not even sure where to start, what tools to use and what I should be looking for.
Thanks for the suggestion, though!

I have a S5 Mini G8800-F, so the most interesting part would be the layout of the inside of the battery compartment, is the dead space for a second sim there etc....
I would say first order of business is getting a custom recovery installed and getting full backups of original OS in a safe place, after that should be relatively hard to completely brick it as I seriously doubt the clone company put any effort in to boot security
@protogenxl: I'll try and upload a picture of the battery compartment later today. Don't recall seeing a second SIM slot in there, though.
And I agree with you that the clone company didn't put any effort on securing the device. It was rooted when I got it, it's got one of those chinese bootloader menus (I found a video on Youtube explaining what each option means).
As for the custom recovery, should I just pick any of them or are there any recommendations specific to this chipset (or do I even have to care about the chipset at that stage)?
@protogenxl it has been to long since I messed with sisters then boyfriend's phone to get it usable but if memory serves I got a custom made version of CWM from the ChinaPhoneArenea forum.
@protogenxl: here's a youtube video I found which describes the exact device I have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_-OoKhkD_0
It shows it with its back cover open around the 2:30 mark.
Hi Everyone, first of all, i'm sorry if there may be duplicates in my post, i was trying to find answers, but may have given up early.
I'm a fresh owner of mi5, and as one, first love, than hate, and cry.
My phone had the latest China Dev, with which i had the following problems:
- SMS didn't go landscape
- fingerpint worked only, if i stored one finger only, as soon as i added multiple, it stopped working
- couldn't really separate multiple cloud accounts, my contact book just became a mess.
I tried CM13 which i loved at first but than, the GPS just didn't work very well, you could say it didn't work at all (very weak signal)
Also realized, that android pay (which i would like to try, but it's not mandatory) doesn't accept that ROM.
With all of the above, is there any ROM which you would recommend me? Should i try Global 7.5x? In other forums, people seem to love it, or go to stable global 8?
Any other recommendations?
any answer would be mostly appreciated!
thanks guys
