Guest slim2357 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 All the links on the site seem to be down?

The links from the pinned topic http://android.modaco.com/topic/329073-22may-guide-how-to-install-a-custom-rom-on-the-zte-blade-gen1/ seem to be working, and has links to the same or similar apps. The procedure should be the same as you have used on the orangesanfrancisco site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the procedure described on "OrangeSanFrancisco.co.uk" also be used to ugrade this phone to 2.2? Upgraded to 2.2 as described and working perfectly, the only point is that the standby time is very poor now. Even with only GSM on and Wifi, screen, bluetooth, GPS switched off. Is there anything to do about this? I read other articles stating that the standby time would increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of standby time are you getting after a full battery charge? I get around 2 days of light usage on my android 2.3 rom, with 3g on, wifi on/off, gps on. You may find that an app is causing battery drain, so try to check in battery stats to see what has kept phone awake. What rom did you choose?

Everything else switched off. Android 2.2 Rom: Swedish Spring RLS5 That does sound unusual. It may be better to ask in the sub-forum for swedish spring http://android.modaco.com/topic/334849-rom-froyo-swedish-spring-rls5-2011-04-19-oledtft-gen1gen2/, to try to pinpoint whats causing this.

Guest Otirumpel Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hi I managed to upgrade to 2.2. I have one issue though, I seem to have lost the accelerometer function during the upgrade. How do I access this feature again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andy58 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hi I managed to upgrade to 2.2. I have one issue though, I seem to have lost the accelerometer function during the upgrade. How do I access this feature again? Use one of the alternative kernels from the first post in the SSrls5 thread if you're still using that Rom.

Guest judywoody Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi, I just received my Orange San Francisco from a private seller on Ebay. It's not a seller I would recommend for various reasons but on top of that the phone seems to be faulty. It's got android 2.2 froyo installed. And that's all I know. I don't know which generation it is and I can't install "ask mr pigfish" because the fault is that the capacitive screen doesn't react properly to finger swipes or presses - Before I can access the market it asks me to log in to my google account but I can't type in letters properly (eg I want to enter an "s" but it enters a "k" which is actually not next to each other but on the other end of the screen - I can't press the delete button, it enters random letters instead). When I tilt the screen it doesn't react always either. When I click some apps it opens a completely different one. Sometimes it reacts when I press a certain button but it doesn't do anything eg the switch off button. So I am not sure if this is the same fault some people have reported with the ZTE blade gen 2. I am not sure if I should fix it because I might not get my money back. I am pretty disappointed as I had to wait for that phone nearly two weeks. The seller is private and pretty rubbish in communicating. She says it's her sons phone in the item description so not sure if she was aware of the fault. She doesn't respond to ANY of my emails and I reported her to Ebay. If I can fix it I would do it and only demand a partial refund otherwise I would send it back. Any idea what I can do?

Guest Davidoff59 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 did you try a screen calibration at all. It may be something as simple as that. Whether she knew of the issue or not, she sold it so she holds responsibility if it turns out to be faulty. Go to settings, and about phone so we know which rom your on. It may have calibration app built in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have calibration app built in. There is no such a function for the ZTE Blade. It was ok after a few hours until my husband tried to put another ROM on. Then it started playing up again. So we went back to the backed up ROM where it seemed to work fine. And then it started again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Davidoff59 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 It will be under either settings or there may be a zte emode app. There is definately a screen calibration for the Zte Blade, but I think you mean that its not on the phone currently. Please refer to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909176 which lists codes for various things. Without knowing exactly which rom you are using, I dont think anyone can help much. Seems strange that it works fine for a while, then gets buggy. Can I suggest that you open your own thread. Not many people will see this. There are some very helpful, knowledgable people on here and im sure a fix will be found. Every rom is different so please try to provide details of which rom you are using. Settings, about phone. android, baseband,kernel and mod versions along with build number.

Guest Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Alright, I have finally updated the site. Complete rewrite on the "Installing custom ROMs from scratch guide", with guides for both Gen 1 and Gen 2. The rest of the site will be updated this week, and I will also start work on an Orange San Francisco II section.

Guest Purplegaw Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 beggin, I used your guide at the weekend and installed CyanogenMod7 on my Blade. Your instructions were clear and really easy to follow. I am a complete novice and I was amazed that I managed to do it first time. I did however forget one vital bit of info, despite your very clear warning not to forget, I forgot to back-up! Derrr! Anyway, just wanted to say thank you!
