<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, this time comes in a review of a device not based on a MediaTek platform. <a href="http://www.huawei.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Huawei</span></a>, the </span>Chinese multinational networking and telecommunications equipment and services company, <span style="font-family: inherit;">has recently released the dual SIM variant of its flagship - Ascend P7-L00</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As a sidenote, Huawei has reached the third place in smartphone sales ranking last year. The company is also </span>facing competition from other Chinese competitors, including Lenovo, Xiaomi and ZTE, being the <span style="font-family: inherit;">first places occupied by Apple and Samsung</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span></div>

Huawei P7 follows the exact same design as its predecessor - Hauwei P6, apart from the screen dimensions. It's thin, with a metallic banded edge that's extremely reminiscent of the sort of design feature Apple introduced to the world with the iPhone 4.<br />

Once you take phone out of its high-end cardboard box, the wow factor is there. The back is definitely quite pretty. One piece of glass covers a spangly mesh effect back, where a Huawei logo proudly sits.<br />
<br />
Although, the glass back is very slippery. Place the phone over any surface that's not totally flat and will slide off it, as there's no protruding plastic or rubber surround to give the glassy rear any grip.<br />

The USB connector is placed at the bottom of the device, making it much easier to hold the thing in front of your face when it's plugged in and charging. The headphone socket sits right at the top of the phone.<br />

This phone sports a 5-inch display running at the full HD resolution of 1080 x 1920, with the in-house (not-Qualcomm) 1.8GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 4G / LTE support for use with speedy SIM cards.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">One of its major features is the unprecedent 8 MP front-facing facing camera, which means a huge selling point for those who enjoy taking selfies, or just after a more impressive Skype video chat experience</span><span style="text-align: center;">. The images taken by this secondary camera completely shame the image quality produced by main cameras of plenty of other smartphones.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">The 1080p screen is another good feature. At maximum brightness, has more than enough contrast and brightness to make text readable outdoors, even in bright sunlight, and videos appear great.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The phone comes pre-installed with Android 4.4.2. On top of that, </span>Huawei added its own customizations, sticking its Emotion UI, a system that removes the standard Android app drawer and replaces it with an iOS-style emphasis on the home screen.<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here are some screenshots and details of the most important features with a special detail of the dual SIM functionality.</span><br />

At first, those who are used to the pure Android user interface, may be shocked by the lack of the app drawer, but it only takes a few days to get used to it and to actually like it. A couple of folders can be used to hide unwanted and unremovable apps, plus it's quite nice to know there's only one place to look for all your stuff.<br />

The pull-down notifications tab is the other core pillar of Android, and here Huawei's fiddled just a little. There is a collection of five toggles (which can be customized) that sits at the top when you first pull down the notifications blind, with another pull on the button area revealing more controls - and useful quick access to a screen brightness slider. A separate menu lets you rearrange the order in which this appears.<br />

The phone obviously supports tethering and portable hotspot feature, letting the user share mobile data connection through USB or over a wireless (Wi-Fi or even Bluetooth) network.<br />
<br />
For some unexplained reason, the phone doesn't include the native support for storage encryption, which can still be overcome with the use of third party apps.</div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Last thing, but very important and not to be left unmentioned, is that the phone has two separate radios, which means both SIM cards are always active, even during phone calls. Unlike other Dual SIM smartphones, where one of the SIM cards will be unreachable when the other has a established call, with this one you'll be always available.</div>

Huawei Ascend P7 is thin, it's smooth and reliable for the most part, it has a camera that's about as good as you can reasonably expect from a phone. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">If you're looking for a reliable Dual SIM smartphone from a well known, then go for this one.</span><br />
<br />
So, last but not least and in order to avoid questions regarding where to buy it from, just visit the sponsored shop (<a href="http://www.etotalk.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">etotalk.com</span></a>). <a href="http://www.etotalk.com/huawei-p7l00_p5584.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Huawei Ascend P7-L00 is available for 389 USD</span></a>.<br />

It's now time to publish fresh instructions on how to flash MT6592 based devices. Please note that the images shown on this tutorial are just examples and that you must flash your device with the correct ROM files.<br />
<br />
Make sure that you read everything carefully and know what you are doing. Don't blame me for any damage that may occur on your device.<br />
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
What's needed:<br />
<ul>
<li>Computer running Windows XP (or higher)</li>
<li>USB data cable</li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">MediaTek USB VCOM drivers </span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">SP Flash Tool (v5.1343.1 or higher)</span></li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Note:</b> SP Flash Tool is backward compatible with older MTK platforms, which means you can (and should) use the most up to date version.</blockquote>
<br />
Let's then start with the tutorial...<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">First of all, make sure that you have MediaTek DA USB VCOM drivers installed.</li>

<b><br /></b><b>Attention:</b> Please follow the instructions carefully. I will not take any responsibility on whatever may happen with your device.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Very important warning:</span> </b>Always make sure that you trust the sources of the ROM you download and know that it is meant for your device. In the past, after flashing a wrong <b>preloader</b>, the device would be completely dead (couldn't be powered on, it wouldn't charge and wasn't detected anymore by the computer). In this new platform, there is yet no information about whether or not this is still a problem, so be warned.</div>

Although I was still very happy with <a href="http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/08/zte-v970-dual-sim-with-3g-support.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">ZTE V970</span></a>, specially now that it was already running Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), I couldn't resist to try out a new smartphone based on the freshly released platform from MediaTek...<br />
<br />
It was only a matter of time before ZTE came out with another device that would use the same look as its much anticipated Grand S. Announced as its fat brother, ZTE V987 (also known as Grand X Quad) is a Dual SIM Dual Standby smartphone based on MT6589 chipset<span style="font-family: inherit;">. Despite the fact that the newest <a href="http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.pt/2012/12/mediatek-officially-announces-mt6589.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">MediaTek chipset was announced as supporting Dual Active functionality</span></a>, it doesn't means that every phone would include such a feature. Probably due to development and implementation costs, this phone still does not include that feature. In fact, it is yet to be seen the first DSFA device based on MT6589 platform.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span">Very much resembling ZTE Grand S, this ZTE V987 features a 5 inch screen and measures 141 x 70 x 8.9 mm, being a little thicker where camera is located. The sides and back cover are made of white plastic, but in overall the build quality is very good. </span><br />
<br />
ZTE opted out to use OGS (One Glass Solution) technology to keep the smartphone relatively slim. After a week of use, I've found that most of the commonly used functions like swiping through menu, making calls, accessing music... all can indeed be done by using just one hand.<br />

One thing that was strangely missing on ZTE V970 was a front camera, but fortunately ZTE did not repeat the same mistake with V987. Placed right next to the ear speaker grill is the 1 megapixel front camera, which is very used nowadays for video chat purposes. On the opposite side is placed the usual power charging LED (red colored when charging and green when the battery is fully charged). The green LED also blinks to notify the user of eventual missed calls and / or new messages received.<br />
<br />

Battery lifetime of this phone is impressive taking into consideration the display size. After a usage of almost two weeks, I estimate that battery can easily hold juice for three days. That is with Bluetooth turned on, 3G data connection always activated and alternating with Wi-Fi when hotspots available. Other than that, I haven't noticed any strange battery drainage. </div>

Compared to the old MT6577 based devices, there is also a great improvement when it concerns to GPS performance. V987 locks very quickly and precision is much higher, at least when comparing it to V970.</div>

The phone supports A-GPS and EPO (Extended Prediction Orbit), which is a MediaTek proprietary offline server based A-GPS technology. As for GLONASS, I wasn't able to connect to any satellites during the few times I used the GPS. During the next week I will test it further and update this review with additional info.</div>

I have to mention that this is the biggest smartphone I have ever had, but that's not really a big deal and nothing you can't get used to... and after all, it seems that the global trend is to have bigger and bigger phones. I'm really impressed with V987 performance, screen quality and battery lifetime. If you are looking for a good quad-core MT6589 phone, this is without any doubt a great choice.</div>

Just a few days ago, <a href="http://www.mediatek.com/_en/03_news/01-2_newsDetail.php?sn=1088" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">MediaTek has officially announced the launch of the new MT6589 platform</span></a><span style="color: blue;"> </span>for Android smartphones. According to the company, MT6589 will be the world's first commercialized quad-core SoC (System on a Chip), available for mid to high-end Android smartphones and tablets worldwide. It integrates MediaTek's advanced multi-mode UMTS Rel. 8/HSPA+/TD-SCDMA modem, a power-efficient quad-core <a href="http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a/cortex-a7.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Cortex™-A7 CPU subsystem</span></a> from ARM, <a href="http://www.imgtec.com/powervr/sgx.asp" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">PowerVR™ SGX</span></a> Series 5XT GPU from Imagination Technologies, and is delivered in 28nm process technology.<br />

This is for sure the most interesting news about <a href="http://www.mediatek.com/_en/01_products/04_pro.php?sn=1081" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">MediaTek MT6589</span></a>.<br />
<br />
The new MT6589 quad-core solution supports 1080p 30fps/30fps low-power video playback and recording, a 13MP camera with integrated ISP, up to FHD (1920x1080) LCD displays, and enhanced picture processing for DTV-grade image quality.<br />
<br />
<br />
It will also support Miracast™ technology for multi-screen content sharing and pre-integrate <a href="http://www.mediatek.com/_en/01_products/04_pro.php?sn=1064" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">MediaTek's leading 4-in-1 connectivity combo MT6628</span></a>, which supports 802.11n Wi-Fi, BT4.0, GPS and FM.<br />
<br />
MediaTek MT6589 is currently being incorporated into smart devices by MediaTek's leading global customers, and the first models based on this new chipset are expected to ship commercially in the first quarter of 2013. Stay tuned because this upcoming SoC is very promising!</div>

Just like it happened on the previous MediaTek platform, with the newest one (MT6577),<span style="background-color: white;"> SIM2 will be reachable even if there is an active data connection established on SIM1. The data connection will be immediately dropped when a new call is incoming from SIM2 and the download will be automatically resumed after the call is over.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">The phone supports quad-band GSM as well as UMTS 900 MHz and 2100 MHz as confirmed under hidden MTK Engineer Mode.</span><br />

After about a month of using this phone, I can say that battery typically lasts two to three days without putting it into charge. That it is pretty good, taking into consideration that I always keep Bluetooth turned on, 3G data connection always activated and make a few calls per day.</div>

Approximately<span style="font-family: inherit;"> one month after </span><a href="http://www.mediatek.com/en/News/news_content.php?sn=1066" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">MediaTek's official launch of the new MT6577 platform</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, the first devices based on that same chipset started to emerge</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The usual replicas of the </span>hottest<span style="font-family: inherit;"> smartphones available on the market will always continue to appear, but also big Chinese </span>companies are betting hard on MediaTek platforms. <a href="http://lenovo.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Lenovo</span></a> is a great example of that, with some successful models such as A60 (MT6573), A750 (MT6575) and the most recently released A789 (MT6577).<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Another known Chinese manufacturer choosing MediaTek platforms to power its devices is <a href="http://zte.com.tw/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">ZTE</span></a>. By 2011, ZTE was the world's</span> fifth-largest telecommunications equipment maker measured by its revenues and the world's fourth-largest mobile phone manufacturer measured by unit sales. This review will cover details about the newly released ZTE V970, a dual SIM smartphone based on MT6577 chipset<span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span></div>

The outer bezel around the display is made of metallic plastic while t</span>he back cover is made of a textured rubbery which provides good, solid grip and a nice feel when holding the phone.<br />

The fact that you can access this memory expansion slot without removing the battery isn't just a matter of convenience - V970 lets you hot swap microSD memory. That means you can remove and replace memory without turning the handset off, much like you would on a computer.</div>

The stock ROM from ZTE doesn't provide access to Google services, but that situation can be easily overcome by installing the latest version of Google apps.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reports seems to point that <a href="http://www.mtk.com.tw/en/index.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">MediaTek</span></a> plans to launch two new SoC products using the 28 nm manufacturing process by the first quarter of 2013...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
MT6588 chipset will feature a quad-core <a href="http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a/cortex-a7.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">ARM Cortex™-A7 processor</span></a> running at 1.5 GHz or 1.7 GHz. This chipset will support WCDMA and TD-SCDMA (used by China Mobile) network technologies.<br />
<br />
Thanks to the integrated <a href="http://www.imgtec.com/powervr/sgx.asp" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">PowerVR™ SGX</span></a> 544 GPU, it will also feature support for up to 1280×800 pixel displays, 1080p video playback and up to 13 megapixels cameras. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aside from the new quad-core chipset, MediaTek will also release the dual-core MT6583, which will likewise run at either 1.5 GHz or 1.7 GHz. This one will support a resolution of up to 854×480, meaning it will target a different market segment, particularly lower-end to mid-range devices.</div>

Additionally, MediaTek's general manager was cited to say that the company is focusing on including LTE support in its chipsets, which can enable smartphone manufacturers to release lower-priced handsets that support this technology.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've been very busy lately and only now had the needed spare time to finish the review of a recent MT6575 based smartphone that I've got as replacement of my </span><a href="http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com.es/2012/05/thl-v9-dual-sim-with-3g-support.html" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">ThL V9</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">The review will focus on ZP300 (also known as Field) from the Chinese manufacturer <a href="http://www.zopomobile.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">ZOPO</span></a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Previous and quite </span>successful models from ZOPO are ZP100 (Pilot) and ZP200 (Shining). <span style="font-family: inherit;">Just like ThL, this manufacturer provides ROM updates very often. This is worth to mention because it is always important to have such kind of support.</span></div>

Near the front camera, more or less on the upper right corner, it is placed the usual power charging LED (red colored). But in addition to that, there is also a green LED that becomes permanently lit when the battery is more than 90% charged and also blinks in order to notify the user of eventual missed calls / new messages received.<br />

Android 4.0 adds new controls for managing network data usage. The user can monitor total usage by network type and application and then set limits if needed<span style="background-color: white;">. Of course, as mobile data can be enabled on SIM1 or SIM2, data usage of each SIM card can also be tracked.</span></div>

Just like it was mentioned on my previous review, on the MT6575 platform,<span style="background-color: white;"> SIM2 will be reachable even if there is an active data connection established on SIM1. The data connection will be immediately dropped when a new call is incoming from SIM2 and the download will be automatically resumed after the call is over.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Other than that, I have recently found that 3G can be enabled for SIM1 or SIM2 (one at a time), which means that you don't need to exchange the SIM cards from one slot to the other when you want to enable 3G data services.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is now being said that the new chipset will be named MT6577, although further informations such as the integrated GPU are not yet known (better to wait for an official MediaTek announcement).<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a name='more'></a>According to several sources (such as <a href="http://www.m44.com.cn/">www.m44.com.cn</a>) there are already engineering samples floating around. From a series of third-party benchmarks, it's claimed that this new MediaTek chipset outperforms Qualcomm’s Snapdragon MSM8255, being very close to MSM8255T's performance.</div>

Please note that the images shown on this tutorial are just examples and that you must flash your device with the correct ROM files.<br />
<br />
Make sure that you read everything carefully and know what you are doing. Don't blame me for any damage that may occur on your device.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Update:</b> By the time that this tutorial was written only MT65x5 was available. Current MT6577 based device can also be flashed using the exact same method, so this has just been updated with references to that most recent SoC.<br />
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
What's needed:<br />
<ul>
<li>Computer running Windows XP (or higher)</li>
<li>USB data cable</li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">MediaTek USB VCOM drivers </span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">SP Flash Tool (v3.1206.01 or higher for MT6575 / v3.1222.00 or higher for MT6577)</span></li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Note:</b> SP Flash Tool is backward compatible, which means you can (and should) use the most up to date version.</blockquote>
<br />
And now the tutorial...<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">First of all, make sure that you have MediaTek DA USB VCOM drivers installed.</li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you have been following the latest news, then you should be already aware that <a href="http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.pt/2012/02/mt6575-launch-officially-announced.html" target="_new"><span style="color: blue;">MediaTek has released the new MT6575 chipset</span></a>. The first engineering samples started to </span>emerge by the end of the first quarter<span style="font-family: inherit;"> of this year and right now, the market is already filled up with quite a few interesting options.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have decided to take ThL V9, not only for its appealing design, but also because the manufacturer is known for releasing phones with great quality and providing updates very often</span>.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The notification panel provides a fast access for brightness and display timeout setting, enabling or disabling auto rotation, Wi-Fi, BT, GPS and data connection, as well as alternating between sound profiles.</span>

Another weakness of the MT65x3 phones was the lack of NEON instruction set support, which didn't allowed Skype video calls (the user was limited to voice calls only). The processor used on the new MT6575 platform now supports it, so the users can enjoy Skype's video-calling feature. Personally, I have already tested it and I must say that it works flawlessly.</div>

In terms of network reception, the phone performs greatly, having successfully passed all the tests that I've performed. Sound quality is clear enough and microphone quality is good.</div>

Finally, but not less important, it must be mentioned that SIM2 will be reachable even if there is an active data connection established on SIM1. The data connection will be immediately dropped when a new call is incoming from SIM2 and the download will be automatically resumed after the call is over. </div>

The differences when compared to MT6573 (the device used for the benchmarks was G11i Pro) are pretty obvious: the benchmark score of ThL V9 is almost twice of G11i Pro (when overclocked to 800 MHz). For a more fair comparison, a friend of mine gently provided the score of his ZTE U960 (which is based on MSM8255 chipset):<br />

I was pleasantly surprised to see that MediaTek MT6575 outperforms Qualcomm MSM8255, taking into account that both processors work at the same frequency -1 GHz. What a great job, MediaTek!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I'm really amazed with the performance of this phone</span>. I only wished that I could have tested this phone already running Android 4.0 (there are rumours that a future update will be released given that other competitors are also working on it). Anyway, if you were looking for a fast and stable Dual SIM featuring 3G support, here's your chance.<br />

This is actually the only working method for non-rooted phones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I assume that you are already familiar with SP Flash Tool, but if not, just read my <a href="http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2011/10/mt65x3-flashing-tutorial.html" target="_new"><span style="color: blue;">MT65x3 flashing tutorial</span></a>.<br />

First of all, you have to know the MTD partition table of your device. If you already have <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html" target="_new"><span style="color: blue;">ADB</span></a> installed on your computer, launch a Command Prompt / Terminal window on your computer and enter the following commands:<br />
<br />
<div class="code">
<b>adb shell</b>
<br />
<b>cat /proc/mtd</b></div>
<br />
The result should be something like this (please note that it can be different on your phone):<br />
<br />

<br />
Copy the output into a file named <b>firmware.info</b> or alternatively, simply run the following commands to create that file on your SD card:<br />
<br />
<div class="code">
<b>adb shell</b><br />
<b>cat /proc/mtd > /sdcard/firmware.info</b></div>
<br />
After that, use <a href="http://ge.tt/8GDGDrE/v/44" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">MT65xx ROM Studio</span></a> (thanks to <b>linerty</b>) to load <b>firmware.info</b> and generate the corresponding scatter file that will be needed for SP Flash Tool.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It can be noticed that every partition has it's begin address... Using a hexadecimal calculator you can easily determine the size of each partition. For example, let's say that you wish to backup the boot image (BOOTIMG partition), taking into consideration that it begins on 0x00480000 and the next partition begins on 0x00A80000, then the partition size is 0x00600000.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After having determined the partition size, select the "Read back" tab and this screen should appear:</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now you should edit the entry, enter a name for the backup file and the details that were previously determined (start address and length). Be sure to select the correct read method: <b>Read Page Only</b>.</div>

Close the window and press F10 (or hit <b>Read back</b> button - the third one with an arrow). Now, with your phone completely turned off (to make sure your phone is completely turned off, remove the battery and replace it after a few seconds), hold VOL-UP button and connect the USB data cable into your phone.

<br />
That means you can now use Android App2SD scripts and increase your phone's internal memory. I will detail here the step-by-step instructions in order to achieve that.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Okay, let's start:</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Install my latest custom ROM</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Partition your SD card (create a FAT or FAT32 partition, an ext2 partition and optionally a swap partition)</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
This can be done in two different ways (<u>beware to backup the contents of your SD card first as it will be completely erased</u>):</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Using the feature integrated into my custom recovery (for that you have to reboot into recovery again so that the phone can assume the newly flashed recovery image). Follow the instructions on <a href="http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.pt/2012/02/complete-guide-to-clockworkmod-recovery.html" target="_new"><span style="color: blue;">this guide</span></a>, on paragraph 8.6.</li>

<li>Do not try this with a slow SD card or else phone performance will became really sluggish. In order to get a good experience, a class 6 or higher SD card must be used.</li>
<li>Set a maximum of 1GB for the size of the ext2 partition. That should be more than enough!</li>

<b>About Android Recovery</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All Android devices are shipped with a recovery console that is basically a partition on the device's internal memory and can be booted into. The stock recovery of almost all Android devices provides a few basic yet handy options that allow you to factory reset your device and also to recover its operating system using an official ROM in zip format, but that is all you can do with it. That's where a custom recovery comes handy...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A custom Android recovery basically replaces the stock recovery with one that lets you do all you can do with the stock recovery, plus a plethora of more options to give you a lot more control on your device. With a custom recovery, you can install official and unofficial ROMs as well as other updates including apps, themes, kernels etc. using zip files, wipe not just user data but pretty much every partition on your device, mount the storage card for USB mass storage access without leaving recovery, partition your SD card, wipe Dalvik cache and battery stats, fix permissions, perform, manage and restore backups and so on.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Introduction To ClockworkMod</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
ClockworkMod recovery is one of the most widely used custom Android recoveries that is available for most mainstream Android devices. This recovery has been developed by Koushik Dutta (also known as Koush) – the creator of Android ROM Manager.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Installing ClockworkMod</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What sets ClockworkMod recovery apart from most other custom Android recoveries is its dead simple installation process on most devices. It does require you to fully root your device in order to be installed but once rooted, installing it is as simple as installing ROM Manager and choosing the proper option.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, in certain cases, this ROM Manager method will not work. <u>That is the case for MediaTek chipset based devices and here is a warning for any owner of such a device: <span style="color: red;">don't use ROM Manager or else you'll get a brick!!!</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For those, the method you should follow in order to install ClockworkMod recovery is described on both my MT65x3 and MT6516 flashing tutorials:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2011/10/mt65x3-flashing-tutorial.html" target="_new"><span style="color: blue;">MT65x3 flashing tutorial</span></a></li>
<li><a href="http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2011/02/mtk-hd2-hd9-flashing-tutorial.html" style="color: blue;" target="_new">MT6516 flashing tutorial</a> (instructions for flashing recovery are right in the end of the tutorial)</li>
</ul>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Please note that those are just generic flashing tutorials. You need to find the ClockworkMod recovery image specifically designed for your device.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Booting Into ClockworkMod</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once you have ClockworkMod recovery installed on your Android device, booting into it is quite simple:<br />
<br />
<div>
<ul>
<li>Using hardware button combination on most Android devices:</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
On most Android devices including ones by HTC, you can enter recovery by powering your device off and then powering it back on while keeping either the ‘Volume-Down’ or the ‘Volume-Up’ button pressed, depending on the device. This will enter the bootloader from where you can select the ‘RECOVERY’ option by navigating to it with the Volume key and entering it with the ‘Power’ key.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
On MediaTek chipset based devices, such as <a href="http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2011/10/g11i-pro-dual-sim-with-3g-support.html" target="_new"><span style="color: blue;">G11i Pro</span></a>, the method is the same as above, except that in this case the device will to boot directly into recovery mode. In very rare cases, the device needs to be connected to the computer via the normal USB data cable.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
On most Samsung devices, specifically Samsung Galaxy S series devices, you must keep both the ‘Volume-Up’ and ‘Home’ keys pressed while powering on the device, to directly enter recovery. </blockquote>
<div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Using ADB (for advanced users):</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
If you have <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html" target="_new"><span style="color: blue;">ADB</span></a> installed on your computer, you can simply enable USB debugging mode on your device from Settings > Applications > Development, connect it to your computer via USB, launch a Command Prompt / Terminal window on your computer and enter this command: </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div class="code">
<b>adb reboot recovery</b></div>
</blockquote>
</div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>Using extended power menu on your Android device:</li>
</ul>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
This is another way of booting into recovery, but please note that the extended power menu is only present on some custom ROMs.</blockquote>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Feature Tour</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's now take a look at all the options CWM recovery offers you to manage your Android device. In this example, the phone used was my <a href="http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2011/10/g11i-pro-dual-sim-with-3g-support.html" target="_new"><span style="color: blue;">G11i Pro</span></a> running ClockworkMod recovery 5.0.2.8 but the details should apply to other devices and other 3+ versions of the recovery as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is what you see when you reboot your device into ClockworkMod recovery:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can navigate these options by using the ‘Volume-Up’ and ‘Volume-Down’ keys to highlight an option and the ‘Power’ key to enter / launch the highlighted option on most Android devices. On devices equipped with a trackball or an optical track pad such as G1, G2, Nexus One, HTC Desire etc., the trackball or track pad can be used for navigation and clicking it can be used to enter / launch the selected option. Let's review each of these options and their sub-menu options in detail.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ol>
<b>1 - reboot system now</b></ol>
<ol>This one is self-explanatory.</ol>
<ol><br /></ol>
</div>
<ol><b style="text-align: justify;">2 - apply update from sdcard</b></ol>
<ol><span style="text-align: justify;">This can be used for installation of any official or unofficial update, ROM, kernel, theme etc. that is in a zip format installable from recovery, as long as the file is named </span><b style="text-align: justify;">update.zip</b><span style="text-align: justify;"> and it has been placed on the root of your SD card (i.e. not in any sub-folder). Selecting this option (and most of the options featured below) will bring up the following confirmation prompt (which you may find annoying but can avoid problems caused by accidental key presses):</span></ol>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ol><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><b>3 - </b><b>wipe data/factory reset</b></ol>
<ol>This option wipes all user data on the device as well as cache. Doing this will leave your phone in the state it was in when you bought it or when any custom ROM was first installed. It will also wipe any sd-ext partition that you might have setup (more on this later).</ol>
<ol><br /></ol>
<ol><b>4 - wipe cache partition</b></ol>
<ol>Wipes the cache partition of the device to clear all the data accumulated there over use. This is often used before installing a new ROM, app, kernel or any similar mod via recovery.</ol>
<ol><br /></ol>
<ol><b>5 - install zip from sdcard</b></ol>
<ol>This option brings up the following sub-menu:</ol>

<ol><b>5.1 - </b><b>apply /sdcard/update.zip</b></ol>
<ol>This one is essentially the same as the <b>apply update from sdcard</b> option of the main menu.</ol>
<ol><b>5.2 - choose zip from sdcard</b></ol>
<ol>Lets you install any zip file (with any name) from any location on your SD card. The file can be for a ROM, a kernel, an application, a theme or any mod as long as it is in recovery-flashable zip format. This is the most widely used option for installing a ROM that you have downloaded and copied to your SD card. Entering this option will bring up a screen that will allow you to browse your SD card for the zip file and select it for installation as in this screenshot:</ol>

Switching it off skips the signature verification check and proceeds with the installation.</ol>
<ol><b>5.4 - toggle script asserts</b></ol>
<ol>Seldom-used option for a vast majority of users. It simply turns script asserts on or off. If you don't know about these, it's best not to change this option.</ol>

<ol><b>6 - backup and restore</b></ol>
<ol>This is without any doubt one of the most important features provided by a custom recovery, the backup and restore feature – also known as Nandroid backup – allows you to take a snapshot of your phone's entire internal memory including all partitions, and save it on the SD card.

<ol><b>7.1 - mount/unmount /system, /data, /cache, /sdcard or /sd-ext</b></ol>
<ol>These options let you toggle between mounting or unmounting these respective partitions. Most users don't need to change these options.</ol>
<ol><b>7.2 - format boot, system, data, cache, sdcard or sd-ext</b></ol>
<ol>These let you directly format any of these partitions. Take extreme care with this option as formatting any of these partitions will result in losing all data on them, especially the boot and system partitions. Formatting the system partition will remove your ROM and leave your phone without an operating system while wiping the boot partition may brick your phone unless you restore or flash another one before rebooting your device. To learn more about the contents of all these partitions, see our guide to Android partitions.</ol>
<ol><b>7.3 - mount USB storage</b></ol>
<ol>Lets you enable USB mass storage mode for your SD card right from recovery so that you can connect it to your computer via USB and transfer any files to/from it without having to leave recovery.</ol>

<ol>This section contains a few options most users will not require, though these can come handy quite often, especially wiping Dalvik cache, which is required before most ROM installations. Here are the options from this section:</ol>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<ol><b>8.1 - </b><b>Reboot Recovery</b></ol>
<ol>Lets you directly and very conveniently reboot from recovery right back into recovery. This is useful option for certain back-to-back installations that require the device to at least boot once between them.</ol>
<ol><b>8.2 - Wipe Dalvik Cache</b></ol>
<ol>Allows you to wipe the cache for the Dalvik virtual machine (the custom-built Java virtual machine for Android).This is required before most ROM installations and at other occasions too, for fixing some problems.</ol>
<ol><b>8.3 - Wipe Battery Stats</b></ol>
<ol>Wipes the saved battery usage statistics and effectively recalibrates the battery. Useful in various scenarios when Android is not showing correct battery levels.</ol>
<ol><b>8.4 - Report Error</b></ol>
<ol>In case of errors, this feature can be used to save a log of recent ClockworkMod recovery operations on the SD card that you can later report from Android using ROM Manager.</ol>
<ol><b>8.5 - Key Test</b></ol>
<ol>Lets you press any of the hardware keys to see if they are properly functioning, and to see their key codes.</ol>
<ol><b>8.6 - Partition SD Card</b></ol>
<ol>This option gives you a no-frills way to partition your SD card properly for use with ROMs that support data2ext (a very handy hack for low internal memory devices that enables an /sd-ext partition on the SD card to be used as the internal user data storage i.e. as the /data partition). Once this option is selected, you will be given options to choose the sizes for the /sd-ext partition as well as an optional /swap partition on the SD card, and will then automatically format it for you, leaving the remaining space for normal SD card usage. <u>This option will wipe all data from your SD card so use it with caution!</u></ol>

Both phones can now support one of the most desired features - <b>SIM2 will be reachable even if there's an active data connection established on SIM1. The data connection will be immediately dropped when a new call is incoming from SIM2 and the download will be automatically resumed after the call is over</b>.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In my opinion, that's the most important feature of the newly released ROMs. Although, there are many more changes / improvements... such as battery consumption reduction, better memory management, speed improvements, many bug fixes and, of course, some cosmetics changes. Here are just a few eye candies.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It seems that <a href="http://www.mtk.com.tw/en/index.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">MediaTek</span></a> has been working on a new chipset - MT6575 - as a response against Qualcomm's MSM7227A. It's said that it will feature a single core <a href="http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a/cortex-a9.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">ARM Cortex™-A9 processor</span></a> clocked at up to 1 GHz and will also support HSPA+. By comparison, MT6573 is much inferior, because the used chip integrates an <a href="http://www.arm.com/products/processors/classic/arm11/index.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">ARM11™ processor</span></a> clocked at only 650 MHz. On the modem part, MT6573 chipset only supports data connections up to HSPA (speed of 7.2 Mbps / 5.76 Mbps).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's expected that the first MT6575 based smartphone prototypes start appearing after the upcoming Chinese New Year. Let's wait then!</div>

The phone itself is encased in toughened plastic and aluminium (which feels more like plastic) through the stripe in the centre - the whole back of the phones pulls away from the main device, with the antenna and suchlike pumped into the chassis rather than on the phone itself.</div>

The four Android buttons on the bottom are visible at all times (even when the phone display is off). On some handsets they become invisible, to make the phone “look better” and to save on backlight power consumption.</div>

Under the dual SIM management menu, the user can edit the name of each SIM and also set the associated background color that will appear in call log as well as in the notification bar (behind the network strength bars). Other than that, also in the same menu, the user has the possibility to set a default card to establish all outgoing calls or set it to always ask, thus enabling the pop up that can be seen some images above showing the dialer (with the options of which SIM card should initiate the call). The same thing can be set for messaging and data connection purposes. In addition, given that G14 supports 3G networks, the option of video calls can also be noticed.<br />

As a quick side note, the original battery from HTC won't fit in this phone. I'm just referring it because some people asked me if the original battery would fit. In fact, that's the only original accessory that you can't use on G11i / G11i Pro. </div>

There's only one subtle difference in the Pro version, when compared to the normal one. That is the microSD slot, which has been moved a little bit and the battery now obstructs the removal of the memory card (it isn't hot-swappable any more).</div>

Under the dual SIM management menu, the user already had the possibility to set a default card to establish all outgoing voice calls. In addition, given that G11i Pro supports 3G networks, the option of video calls can now be noticed.<br />

The user can choose the SIM to establish the data connection and although SIM1 supports data connections up to HSPA, SIM2 is limited to EDGE / GPRS.<br />

It doesn't make sense to go into deep details about the whole flashing process, because everything should be exactly the same as described on my <a href="http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2011/02/mtk-hd2-hd9-flashing-tutorial.html" target="_new"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">MT6516 flashing tutorial</span></a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new MT65x3 phones already support flashing via USB data cable without the need of the USB to UART cable, although that cable is still needed if this new tool is used with an old MT6516 based phone.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Apart from the entire NAND flashing, it is noteworthy that you can flash only parts of the ROM. The following pictures will detail how to flash recovery image only. Sometimes that is required in order to flash a custom recovery which will then allow updating the phone using custom ROMs through the recovery menu.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>First of all, make sure that you install the latest MT65x3 USB VCOM drivers. Now, open SP Flash Tool and make sure you mark <b>USB Mode</b> under Options tab.</li>
</ul>
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>Load the scatter file (MT6573_Android_scatter.txt) and ignore any message that may appear. After that, select the part you wish to flash into your MT65x3 based phone and make sure you select the right file location. In this example, it's shown the recovery partition.</li>

<ul>
<li>Turn off your phone by removing the battery and replacing it after a few seconds. With phone completely switched off, press F9 (or hit <b>Download</b> button - the third one with an arrow) to start download and when the countdown starts connect the USB data cable into your phone.</li>
<li>The download of the chosen partition image(s) will start. After the yellow progress bar is complete, a popup with a green circle should appear.</li>

The narrow looking volume rocker is positioned on the left edge of the phone, but despite its flushed appearance, it actually exhibits a reasonable tactile response. Also, the micro-USB port is located on the same side as well for charging and data connection. Meanwhile, the top edge plays host to both the 3.5mm headset jack and dedicated power button – the latter of which is recessed, but still provides a moderate tactile feel when pressed down.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">It features a capacitive display with a WVGA (800x480) resolution</span>. The display produces some rich looking colors that retain their luster since it offers some great viewing angles. During my tests, I had zero problems in trying to view it in outdoor conditions with the glaring sun present.<br />

At first, some might be surprised to find a clean looking front surface, but turning on its display, its capacitive touch buttons come to life. Interestingly enough, they don't appear to be painted on, but rather, they seem to be nothing more than LEDs underneath there.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">From the moment G11i is turned on, we're presented with the new Gingerbread interface. One of the features that can be noticed from the start is the new place for shortcuts on the notification panel, giving the user a fast access for brightness and display timeout setting, enabling or disabling auto rotation, Wi-Fi, BT, GPS and data connection, as well as alternating between sound profiles.</span><br />

And just when I thought that dual SIM integration on HD9 was good and couldn't get any better, that's when I got amazed with the refreshed interface. In call history screen, the list of missed / received / made calls can now be checked with the indication of the name of the SIM. In addition, you can filter calls by SIM.</div>

Apart from the new dialer interface, it also brings a smart dialing feature which works wonderfully, enabling you to numerically enter a name, even if it's incomplete (i.e. 8632 for Vodafone, as seen on the picture) and displaying all matches instantly. With this new dialer, it doesn't exist anymore the two call buttons to choose which SIM should establish the call. Instead, the green call button can immediately start the call when set to a certain SIM card or open a pop up which let's you choose it every time.<br />

Other than that, also in the same menu, the user has the possibility to set a default card to establish all outgoing calls or set it to always ask, thus enabling the pop up that can be seen some images above showing the dialer (with the options of which SIM card should initiate the call). The same thing can be set for messaging and data connection purposes.<br />

Sound quality is clear enough and microphone quality seems to be pretty decent because people tell me that they can hear me perfectly.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
HD9 wasn't even able to run all the 3D rendering tests, while G11i behaved pretty well. With the same microSD memory card (class 10), the full write speeds can only be reached with G11i.<br />
<br />
It's obvious that the comparison between MT6513 and the old MT6516 is not that fair, but in order to see how great the MT6513 performance is, here you have also the benchmark results of <a href="http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2011/07/hot-hd958-dual-sim-with-3g-support.html" target="_new"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">HD958</span></a> (which is based on MSM7227 chipset):<br />

<br />
I wasn't expecting to see such a difference between G11i and HD958, but the fact is that there are notorious differences between MT6513 and MSM7227. Not much in terms of CPU (only 650 MHz against 600 MHz), but specially in terms of 3D graphics. The GPU integrated on MT65x3 - PowerVR™ SGX531 - completely outperforms the one used in MSM7227 - Adreno 200.<br />

It has been <a href="http://www.mediatek.com/_en/03_news/01-2_newsDetail.php?sn=63" target="_new"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">quite a while since MediaTek announced the new MT65x3 platform</span></a>...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
MediaTek released two versions of the new MT65x3 platform: MT6513 and MT6573. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first one, MT6513, is the low-end version, and it can be considered the direct successor of the old MT6516. This chipset supports Quad-band GSM and GPRS / EDGE data connections. It features an <a href="http://www.arm.com/products/processors/classic/arm11/index.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">ARM11™ processor</span></a> running at 650 MHz as well as support for advanced 3D graphics. The high-end version is MT6573, has all the same features as it's little brother, but also integrates a 3G / HSPA modem supporting mobile broadband rates of up to 7,2 Mbps downlink and 5,76 Mbps uplink.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
From several video reviews that are appearing on the web, it can be noticed that these chipsets provide a good Android user experience. Personally, I have many faith on these new MediaTek chipsets and will soon be reviewing one MT6513 based smartphone. Keep posted!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The so long waited dual SIM smartphones with 3G capabilities are now entering the market. One of the first of its kind is the <a href="http://hot-china.hk/html/chanpinzhongxin/131.html" target="_new"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">HD958</span></a>, from <a href="http://hot-china.hk/" target="_new"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">HOT</span></a>. </span>With the introduction of the low-cost Qualcomm MSM7227 chipset, it becames quite a feasible option for dual SIM smartphone manufacturers because it offers advanced processing and rich multimedia while supporting HSDPA/HSUPA for broadband data speeds over 3G networks.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Differences in the user experience with the HD958 are quite </span>noticeable when compared to the<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><a href="http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2011/01/tops-hd2-hd9-t8585-dual-sim.html" style="font-family: inherit;">HD9</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">. The processor that is present on the used Qualcomm chipset behaves </span>nicely, but the obvious and huge improvements are noticed<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> in applications that require graphical processing (like games), due to hardware-accelerated 3D graphics</span>.</div>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">

The dual SIM integration is much like the HD9, just with some cosmetic changes, so there's no need to detail that.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
One great feature present in Android 2.2 and enabled natively in this phone is the ability to share its mobile data connection not only via USB, but also as a portable Wi-Fi hotspot. Data connection can be easily shared with any other devices, anywhere. While a dual SIM phone is usually used for GSM calls on both SIM cards (for example, one for professional and another for personal use), with this feature and the support of broadband data connections, you can also have a SIM card with a dedicated data subscription and the other can be used for GSM calls.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
One of the first tests I had to do with this phone was to establish an Internet connection, start surfing and check if I could receive a call on the other card. The test was partially successful... I say partially because the call can be received, which means that you won't get unreachable, but the data connection is broken. Only after the end of call, the data connection will be re-established. As you may know, there are not many dual SIM smartphones that let you establish a call on one SIM and have the ability to receive a call on the other. This phone is no exception, so while a call is being made in one SIM, the other will be temporarily "off" until the call ends.</div>

User can also enable or disable data access over mobile network for each SIM, as well as other GSM/UMTS configurations.<br />

As far as the GSM reception concerns, it seems to have improved in this phone. In the same spots that I normally had network breakdowns with the HD9, I don't have it any more with the HD958. During the past week I have never noticed the "restricted access changed" notification, so much common on the HD9. In terms of call quality it is pretty good, and people don't complain any more that the volume of my voice is too low.<br />
<br />
One more thing that will make some people very happy is that Skype (version 2.0.0.45+) now works. In previous Chinese smartphones, Skype had a problem (although also present in many other branded Android smartphones), that would lead to an infinite loop during sign-in. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">As already stated, the used processor makes the difference. I only wish that my HD9 had this processor, as I like its big screen. Nevertheless, this is a great phone and for some people, the 3.8 inch screen is the perfect dimension</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">.</span></div>
