2000mah is rubbish for a 5" FHD 1.5ghz phone. My w200 has 1800mah with same processor etc just a 720p screen and it struggles to hit 3 hours of screen on time.

 

My next phone unless it's the Nexus 4 or 5 will need to have at least a 2500mah battery.

I was telling people to buy ZTE v987, didn`t I?

:P

BTW - it is only $202 at Pandawill (with $20 discount coupon).

I bought zte 967s yesterday from a shop by $132 with 4GB SD card.

Just got a nexus 4 and to be truthful the battery ain't all that . The phone itself is excellent. Hoping I can find a kernel to fix it but solo much choice its mind boggaling . J

how much you pay for it?

 

franco kernel is probably the best.. and use trickster mod from the market to enable contrasty colour calibration

190 second hand but mint 16gb, have been reading good things about franco kernel but the phone has been updated to the latest 4.3 and the franco kernel is for 4.2 unless I am mistaken. Also looked at the franco app but unsure what the free and paid versions offer so any help with rom and kernel choice appreciated ,will check out the trickster mod though and carry on reading to make sure I am good to go for the kitkat relese at the end of the month. Cheers j.

i think the best rom for the N4 is this here, (4.3.1) i would not use a custom kernel with this as the one included is great.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146879

 

its has everything from everywhere, including PA's contrasty values applied to the kernel so colours look amazing (like AMOLED)

and it all fully works since its built for a Nexus 4  :)

 

 

franco kernel is here,

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002782

 

franco kernel 4.3 nightly's, i would not bother with his app, trickster mod has more features and its free

I really want an N4 now my friend isn't selling his until the N5 arrives so i'm IMPATIENT!!

 

And it's also annoying that G Play list the 16GB N4 for £199 yet it's not available they are going for more than that second hand on eBay!

 

Hmm G PLay...

 

"We are out of stock. Please check back soon."...

 

If i do get a nexus i will need to sell my W200 on...not sure how much or who to. People putting them on eBay for £160! I'd be happy to recover the £130 i paid for it.

Just got my Cube talk 5H and I'm very impressed with it. Loads of roms for it but for now I'm sticking with

the factory rom. But now I hit a problem with flash tools  :(

 

If I use the version that was in the rar file I get a "Access Violation at address 005DA542 in module  blah blah"

and when I use another version I get "Incorrect scatter file format"  GGrrrrrr I have downloaded it 3 times today

with the same error.

 

 

Anyone got a clue what they mean or know of a fix?

I got the invalid scatter file error for some reason with my Xiaocai X9 so i downloaded a scatter file that matched my chipset from elsewhere and it worked that time. Strange eh?

 

Is yours an MTK6589 4GB ROM phone?

 

EDIT:

 

The flashtools you downloaded are all the folders/files in english naming or do they contain foreign characters? Try renaming the folders to all english and try again.

since we know the 16GB Nexus 5 will be $349.99 it could (but i doubt) only be £216 in the uk, if it converts straight from dollars to pounds.

supposedly it will be announced on 28th or 31th. 

 

there is also a chance they will actually restock the N4, as until recently it just said

"sorry we are out of inventory"   then changed to "coming soon" and now its changed again to the above.

Yeah i saw the coming soon which would be nice for them to keep selling it but then naturally the N5 would have to be around the £300 mark. Otherwise 16gb N4 for £199 or pay and extra £17 for a 16gb N5? That just doesn't make sense.

 

They won't straight convert the price they didn't with the N4 after all did they. Nexus 4 was $349 at launch for 16gb model. Which ould be £215.78. N4 launched in uk at £280 i think for 16gb?
