It is simple but things are more complicated. :)

I've been looking at many graphs today and 3.4V means that battery is drained to

0-10% remaining capacity.

With that much draining you won't have a rich cycle life:

Instead of 1000 cycles you will make only 400. And thats only part of the problem.

Your cycles won't be 0-100% but 0-70% of nominal capacity (2500mAh) after a year or so.

But you can forget everything mentioned if you will replace phone in 10-12 months :D

Oh, one more thing!

As already mentioned I look at many graphs and articles today and max charging voltage doesn't go above 4.2.

How the heck you have 4.335mAh!!!

I didn't check my phone yet. It seems waaay too much and over the top which is really bad for battery...

don't look at general graphs,just do what i did with battery calibration app and make your own graphs!I used indonesian latest aosp

Graphs don't mind, they are here to show a general logic behind charging and discharging li-ion battery and 

Indonesian AOSP is not controling Li-indo battery but standard Li-ion battery that withstands certain technical rules.

Like any other Li-ion battery.

4.335V is too much

3.4V is too low

Indonesian AOSP has wrong upper and lower Cut-off limits!

 

(I need to check the upper charging voltage limit on my phone though)

 

Edit: Now checking CoolUI 4.2: Charging 93% @ 4.276V so it might be okay for OS to set cutoff to 4.34V :)

I presume you mean it's difficult to remove that custom cover?

I'd second that but found that using a guitar pick/plectrum to prise it off from the bottom helps.

I don't think the phone looks like s*** with the cover installed but it is a bit thicker than with the default back.

Haven't used the phone much with this cover so can't comment on whether or not it causes voice dropouts.

Yeah - the fit is very tight but I think if you prise it off gently from the bottom near where you prise off the standard cover using something plastic like a guitar pick it works.

And yeah - it does look like a bit like an iPhone! :D

Is it there official android 4.4 ? Is it good without bugs? Or what do you suggest to flash to the phone

 

Check the first few posts in this thread which list a number of official and custom ROMs among lots of other useful info.

There's also a poll thread on what ROMs people have declared preferences for.

Jonzalvo's Pure AOSP seems to get favourable comment especially when Arpione's patches are installed:

Just got home to find my lovely new F1 has 3 scratches on the screen!

I guess it was done at work somehow :(

I'm hoping that it is just the screen protector, as the phone screen is quite tough?

Anyway, I might see if I can order a new screen protector.

I always get dust/hair/bubbles underneath when I do it myself though!

I forgot to post it this evening:P
When I saw it, I was following a discussion about gestures which grabbed my attention: it seems they are not supported/developed by the official Coolui releasers, but some developers (like fire and atx) add them in their Coolui versions porting them from other roms. I don't know if those gestures are the useless ones (scrolling on gallery and things like that) or the ones usable in standby mode to wake the phone with a double tap or to go to shortcuts (camera, sms...)

edit: I've seen in the description of this fire rom that it talks about wake gestures... now this is interesting!

it seems there is also a new 4.2.2 version (for the TDSCMA model) out today, 094!

it seems this "advanced settings" group of apps/settings should be ported, should be something doable for other roms since it's not rom-related (original coolui doesn't have it)

MTK6592 doesn't support that kind of gestures :/ that's for more "premium" phones like SGS4, 5... etc.

or cheap cr*ppy phones like 80$ elephones with an older mt6582 :D my mother's zopo zp700 (mt6582, 1 year old) with kitkat's official update supported it, so ours should as well if developed by coolpad.

 

 

Where can I find the link to download the ROM: Kitkat 019 is out and this is from FIRE Team custom release

Thank you

 

hello friend, sometimes reading some pages could be useful to find the answer, but this time you have to look just 2-3 posts back :)
