Sapo A5 - Portuguese TMN's Blade rebranding

[Guest buneech]

Could copying appropriate files from this dump, to any other solve the wifi problem, or is it in the kernel?

[Guest giffs]

is anyone working on this?

[Guest Migun]

Sebastian (or anyone who tested the Sapo A5 Rom), did you test call quality ?

Because 90% (or more) of all Sapo A5 make an annoying sound in the phone of the person who you are calling.

Its the same sound that a TV or a loudspeaker makes when a mobile phone is near.

The sound volume is also very low, but I think the SF also has that problem.

It connects to my router and doent drop it when its been in sleep

They've set the default to not sleep the wifi when the screen goes off. If you turn it back to the normal default of going off with the screen then that may help with battery life, although this ROM's setup gives you a few moments of no wifi while it reconnects it.

Hi,

Is this rom having any kind of support of rom devs? Or will it have? 'Cause if not, I'll have to think twice before buying this phone. :) Right now this phone has a major malfunction:

Because 90% (or more) of all Sapo A5 make an annoying sound in the phone of the person who you are calling.

;)

Regards.

I did not test the call quality, but that sort of thing sounds more like a hardware fault that a software issue...

I'm not say its not cant be software, but its unlikey.....

Thanks for replying

:) hm, a lot of people are also wondering if it is SoftW or HardW... this sucks -.-''

If someone installed a san francisco rom in the sapo A5 it may tell either it is softw or hardw, right?

I was going to sugest that, try sticking my de-oranged r7, or the finish rom on it, they should support everything...

Or even better yet, try the B08 version of the Orange Stock ROM

Since the camera is a 5MP maybe that won't be supported? But for finding out where the fault is it is enough.

Ye, just to check it out.

I would do it but I haven't bought the phone yet, because of all this noise thing. :)

If someone does it please report here, ty.

I believe the camera stuff on the B08 ROM will support the newer camera... but that would be a good thing to test out :)

I have the phone since last friday.

As they said, the people i talk with whine about the noise. The speaker (hand-free or not) is also too low :||

I haven't tried another rom or root because TMN (brand) haven't said anything about this problem.. i might have to trade it :)

Is there any pro that could test the rom and check if it can be fixed?

thanks !

I put the Sapo Stock ROM on my device, and to my untrained ear... Call Quality is worse on the Sapo ROM, there seems to be a background hiss that is just not there with other ROMS....

OOOOOOOOOOhh

But your only going to find out for sure if someone with a Sapo A5 installs another Stock ROM....

Thanks for fast answer.

Well i am new in the android world. I have no idea how to modify a rom or even how to change my A5 rom. I was hoping someone would test it on their A5 first... specially because i don't know if i need to swap with some other A5. 90% seems to have this problem...

=D Thanks.

That noise can be heard by the person who answered the call or the caller? Because it seems this noise is heard by the person who picks up the call.

I dont have any friends, so I just called an automated number... there was more hiss using the SAPO rom than using the stock OUK one..

Is this noise caused by software?

[Guest Sebastian404]

Is this noise caused by software?

SAPO_P733NV1.0.0B03 - *NOTICABLE* hiss

OUK_P729BV1.0.0B08 - no *NOTICABLE* hiss

We need someone else to repeat the experiment, and and preferably someone else to try a stock ROM on a Sapo A5 device....

[Guest Migun]

Thanks for testing Sebastian :)

[Guest fufax]

I'm just starting the tests on Sapo A5.

A5 stock rom - Noise on 2G calls, no noise on 3G calls.

Orange 08 Stock ROM - Noise on 2g calls aswell. Camera working.

---

Any Froyo ROM that i found on modaco forum - Camera not working, and after the phone enters in sleep mode/turns off screen, its not recoverable. touch function dies and only way to have it working is to remove the battery and replace it.

Any idea/solution for that? would be greatly apreciated :)

A hardware problem? :S

[Guest coiso e tal]

Could it be a kernel issue?
