My cousin bought one, and it is OK, I guess. The chipset is the MTK6577 CPU. The GPU is the Power SGX 531 GPU. The performance is OK, but Ninetology could still.improve it. The main problem is that the phone likes freeze, not all the time but it is annoying nonetheless. It feels rather smooth, but comparing the smoothness to the CSL Mi501, the CSL is quite smoother. The camera on the Black Pearl 2 is superb, and while it is not as great as the Samsung GS2 camera, it is half the price of the SGS2. Gaming is good, just like most dual core phones. The look and feel of the device is good too, but it feels kind of frail, like if you dropped it, it would go splat. Overall, it is a good phone, but there is a lot that Ninetology could improved on.

Verdict: 6/10

Yes, it is a phone from ZTE, but under it's Ninetology Brand. When compared to SGS S advance, I think they are about the same. But personally, I prefer the CSL Mi501 and Xperia Sola. They beat both, the BP 2 and the SGS S advance, and Mi501 has a large screen with dual sim. But that's just me.

Official retail price is RM799, but you can get it for 615 here.

http://www.lelong.com.my/csl-mi501-mi-501-...3-10-Sale-P.htm

Don't worry, the seller is secure. I've bought stuff from him before. Where do you stay? I could check all the stores around there for you.

i own an xperia sola, and got a chance to test black pearl 2 recently.

first, the MT6577's processor actually perform better than STE U8500 according to antutu and quadrant.

second, the PowerVR SGX531 is not as good as sola's Mali-400 GPU. (nenamark 2 score slightly lower than sola)

third, RAM, BP2 actually have more RAM available to user compared to sola

4. kernel is newer than sola (3.0.13 for BP2, 3.0.8 for sola)

5. obviously screen is larger (4" vs 3.7")

6. BP2 have less ROM compared to sola
(BP2: internal storage = 500MB, phone storage = 2GB;
sola: internal storage = 2GB, phone storage = 4GB)

7. battery life should last longer than sola (1600mAh battery)

funny thing is , the back of the case say 5MP but when u go into the camera app the max resolution is 8MP!

and that's as much as i can remember for now. of course BP2 got dual sim sola only got one.

if you can buy mi501, that's a better choice for one obvious reason = moar power.

mi501 = the best android malaysia has to offer.

well something have to give to keep the price below 1k.
even if they manage to make it, the price will land at those premium brand price range, which leads to the famous question: would you buy a csl or buy samsung/htc/sony/etc.?
they got to sell their stuff y'knw

CSL have released info about a new dual core phone scheduled for next year February. It is going to use either the MSM8260A or MSM8960. The price is only going to be 799 - 899, so I can't wait.

used it for a while, one full charge can certainly last whole day with average usage. If minimal usage maybe 2 days.

As for gaming, no problem running Dead Trigger and Beach Buggy Blitz.

like i already said before comparing with NovaThor U8500 (as both is dual core cortex-a9 @ 1GHz, 512mb ram) The processor perform slightly better than U8500, but still, Mali-400MP is stronger than PowerVR SGX531.

any specific thing you wanna know?

I see. Thanks for the reply.

How is the performance of the SoC compared to MSM8225 Dual Core Cortex A5? On paper seems MT6577 have the edge but how about in real world?

One more thing. Any issue so far with the phone? Any other thing that you think we need to be told? Thanks again.

im not that familiar with the msm8225 but yes on paper mt6577 should be better, considering the cortex-A5 and cortex-A9 difference and also one is 45nm and the other is 40nm, and it's a common sense that smaller means more energy efficient, which leads to better battery life.

on real world though, not that much difference. apart from BP2 have USB-OTG function, i don't know mi501 got or not.

issues, well there's hiccups here and there, which is normal because even my sola got hiccups here and there. ICS still don't have Project Butter unlike Jelly Bean which is much much smoother. No problem with Wi-Fi so far, and GPS is a little slow (compared to my sola again) but that's normal for a new phone. It'll lock faster after starting it up at the same place several times. The A-GPS function is redundant though, not recommended to turn on, or it'll just make things worse.

I am anti Go Launcher kind of user, and i hate that BP2 comes preinstall Go Launcher with it. so i use back stock launcher, and it perform much much better. hmm... might want to test Zenonia 5 tonight, note to self tongue.gif

overall, if 5.2" is too large, this 4" alternative is not that bad at all. I bought my sola for RM999 back then, and both perform almost the same. BP2 lacks some of the functions sola have (NFC, floating touch, Sony's own s/w, which I like) but performance wise it still can keep up.

The camera was awesome too. not only still shot but also got panoramic shot and scrolling shot. even better it is an 8MP unit!

Thank you so much for a very informative reply. Feel free to share pictures of your launchers as well as your personal experience with it.

Speaking of the camera, how good is it? Is it comparable to any branded model that you could name? Do share some pics takne using BP and others for comparison. Do share your personal experience and comment in this.

Thanks a lot bro.

the screen cannot match with sony's no air gap screen
the only good thing about BP2's screen is it got IPS, other than that it's just another 4" WVGA screen.

if you ask me about the camera the answer would be quite subjective. (I'd say 'quite satisfied')
The phone is at home now, not with me, and gimme some time to take 'proper' photos (current photo only some macro shots in my room). I'll upload them here afterwards. You'll be the judge yourself

The camera app is the default ICS camera app, no special add on or whatsoever.

overall i still prefer sola's result, it's a sony so the quality is there.

as for the BP2, i take all the shot in medium settings (sharpness, hue, saturation, brightness, contrast). these cannot be change in sola's default camera app. the speed also significantly faster than sola. sola take 1-2 seconds to take focus (SCN Auto) but BP2's speed is just like what google claimed - zero shutter lag.

quality wise still cannot match with sony.

When you take into account the price and other things, Black Pearl 2 is an especially awesome phone!

I have tested both phones, BP2 has better screen (ips) and higher ppi coz of smaller screen. Viewing angle better also.
mercury screen is not too bad also.

But both are very smooth, much better than stealth 2.

@issacc the big difference of course the chip inside, one is mediatek 1GHz dual core and the other one is by qualcomm 1.2GHz dual core.

camera BP2 default 5MP but the camera app can go as high as 8MP, where the mercury stuck at 5MP. Video recording BP2 can record 720p HD, not sure about the Mercury though, 480p only?

Gaming mercury is better thanks to the extra 200MHz in the processor compared to BP2. BP2 also not bad for gaming, saw on ninetology sabah's video can play Dead Trigger and Beach Buggy Blitz smoothly.

Screen BP2 is better than Mercury minus the size. high PPI and IPS display is it's strength. Viewing angle on mercury esp. on landscape mode is not that good (black color become reflective)

@kucingfight you can ignore it. Ninetology claim that if you rip it off you'll void your warranty. Not much problem if you only have one sim card.

S advance have 768mb of ram compare to BP2 512mb, and samsung say gonna update to JB next year.
Apart from those two (not to forget s advance's curvy amoled screen), the rest more or less similar.
different price point anyway, BP2 is almost half the price of s advance.

It's not the BP2's fault, but the MTK6577's fault. MTK6577's signal is not good outside of China.

Ninetology Black Pearl II Review

I got this phone for 5 days and i think a review would be appropriate to explain how this phone would perform based on my experience as a consumer.

Body
The design is quite sleek. One look at it would tell you that its a HTC but its not. It is quite heavy but not too heavy. Enough to tell you its presence in your pocket. The three touch sensitive button on the bottom (menu, home, back) is OK but there's some instances where it would not respond at all. Maybe i've been typing too fast. Overall, its a 3 stars. For the body.

Hardware
A dual-core 1Ghz does quite a good job. Not too much lag. I switched to the stock homescreen rather than using Go Launcher. Everything works fine. The only lag i suffer is from using FB. Thats all. It crashed twice. Tried modern warfare and it plays along just nice. I award the hardware 3 stars as well.

Battery
The nightmare. One time, i just let the phone rest on the table for a day and guess what? It loses about 70% of its juice doing nothing. 3G was off and no one have been using it. Maybe ghost? I dont know. I also used it for a day and yes. The juices are not long lasting enough. If you're a frequent or extreme user, consider getting a power bank or something. 2 star is enough la.

GPS
Super difficult to get signal. I have to get to the open field to get the signal. If you're on the moving vehicle, dont expect it to be accurate. Even the range in Foursquare is super large. Maybe its jus my area but thats my experience with BP2. 1 star for GPS.

Sound
Buzzing. Yes. Quite a lot. Played my music and it seems like i'm listening it to the radio. Calls are ok. Quite smooth and clear. 3 star for sound.

Display
Imagine Galaxy S II display. This is not the same. Only resolution and the size. Under direct sunlight, u will see nothing. Definitely nothing at all. No superAMOLED for this guy. But its quite responsive. Definitely a good job. Except under the sun where I couldn't even tell who's calling me. 3 stars.

Camera
It says 5mp. But its actually 8mp. The quality is not ok but acceptable. Focusing is dead slow. Tried to candid my cat sleeping upside down but focusing is too slow my cat is already awake! Damn. They should put a SIlentWavemotor inside the lens like Nikon lenses so it would focus faster. Just kidding. The shots are ok outside. But indoor, it failed too much even with the help of the flash. 2 stars. 

Price
599. So cheap. If samsung sells phones like S II or Note at a price like this, maybe everyone will have a smartphone. I give it 5 star! Hahahaha!

Overall
The phone had been good to me (not great). Enough to fulfill its duty of receiving calls, updating my status, tweets, watsapp and also a few games. I had Galaxy S II before but i ended up giving it to my mum. I couldn't compare it to the S II because i pity this little guy. It will lose.

Thats my review on the new Ninetology Black Pearl II.

other then spec, if you want to accessories or resale back your hp, in most cases branded hp have the advantage. Not to forget the support from the user (custom rom and etc).

Thanks alot. It more or less deterred me from getting one though. The battery life and the GPS. I had bad experience with China made and even the other local Malaysian company though. I guess I shall stick to the major players, although abut pricey.

if you are in between 21-30 years old, and monthly income less than 3k, and you want to buy BP2, hold your horses! Next year can buy at cheaper price.

Me too. Yesterday evening i went over to Lowyat, it seems that the BP2 is sold out as they didnt bring enough stocks. However they intro the Ninetology Insight to me, it has a bigger screen (4.3) and the price is RM699.

No info on the web about this model.

Yes. The latest ninetology insight. Made to cover the increasing demands of BP2. Saw it yesterday. Specs remain the same but a slightly bigger screen (4" vs 4.3"). Had a white body. Just the same thing as BP2.

The body is rectangular with rounded edges. Compared to BP2 almost circular (pebble) design, its much difficult to handle.

Maybe its just me but ninetology made every phone with the same specs but different sizes. 4" 4.3" & 5". Maybe there will be 4.1" 4.2" 4.4" 4.5" up to 4.9"

Ninetology has PUBLICLY announced that removing the DiGi sticker WILL VOID the warranty.

Some seller willing to say anything you want to hear just so you buy. Basically it is win-win for them and DiGi. They have less thing to worry about warranty (as most user will remove the sticker) and DiGi get users for some months before any of the users have any gut to remove the sticker. See! It is a win-win for them. Not for us.

Even Stealth 2 sold at around RM650. So to buy this Insight at RM699 is just insane. Hell, even Huawei G600 is sold at just RM680.

You just wait for the price of Insight to drop. It should be real soon.

Well, I should be picking one up later this week. Keeping fingers crossed.

btw, had the chance to test one out at Sunway Pyramid last week. Not bad at all. Minimal lag, nice big and clear screen, clean ICS.

More in depth review once I get mine.

this black pearl 2 looks fine for its spec but still confused after 6 months this smartphone will be good or not....the mcmc smartphone rebate useless because still many shop didnt have permission to start sell the phone.....this rebate matter should settled before the online registration open for public but stupid management......the money they give for the rebate is belong to public so just register and get it dont waste it becaused the money belongs to the public..now we can buy any smartphone and claim the rebate...............how about the ninetology insight peformance looks nice can we get it at any digi center ............wanna ask something can we claim the rebate at ninetology retail outlet any idea about this.......just looking for cheap smartphone i think can try ninetology for its spec.....is it black pearl 2 is fine and how about the sound peformanced in black pearl 2

As an Android user I am always against the idea of getting low end Android devices with no support... because you are actually paying for the longevity of the phone when you buy med-high end Android phones as development for popular phones won't really stop.

My old Galaxy S is still receiving considerable amount of community support and it is running 4.2.1, the latest Jellybean. If you buy a low end Android phone, you probably won't even get JB.

The rebate registration system on the dealers behalf is not yet operational, at least in Batu Pahat, Johore. I called a shop to confirm the BP2 stock availability, drove down to their shop to only learn that the system is not ready yet. The fastest they can get it ready is tomorrow. So no BP2 for me today sad.gif

Will get my hands on one this Sunday.

Stay tuned while I do a (somewhat unfair) comparison to the Ideos X3, Ideos X5, Vision, Galaxy S2 i9100G, Galaxy S3 tongue.gif

Speaker position? Button position?

Usually those won't be too different from the BP2.

Ninetology Black Pearl II Review

I got this phone for 5 days and i think a review would be appropriate to explain how this phone would perform based on my experience as a consumer.

Body
The design is quite sleek. One look at it would tell you that its a HTC but its not. It is quite heavy but not too heavy. Enough to tell you its presence in your pocket. The three touch sensitive button on the bottom (menu, home, back) is OK but there's some instances where it would not respond at all. Maybe i've been typing too fast. Overall, its a 3 stars. For the body.

Hardware
A dual-core 1Ghz does quite a good job. Not too much lag. I switched to the stock homescreen rather than using Go Launcher. Everything works fine. The only lag i suffer is from using FB. Thats all. It crashed twice. Tried modern warfare and it plays along just nice. I award the hardware 3 stars as well.

Battery
The nightmare. One time, i just let the phone rest on the table for a day and guess what? It loses about 70% of its juice doing nothing. 3G was off and no one have been using it. Maybe ghost? I dont know. I also used it for a day and yes. The juices are not long lasting enough. If you're a frequent or extreme user, consider getting a power bank or something. 2 star is enough la.

GPS
Super difficult to get signal. I have to get to the open field to get the signal. If you're on the moving vehicle, dont expect it to be accurate. Even the range in Foursquare is super large. Maybe its jus my area but thats my experience with BP2. 1 star for GPS.

Sound
Buzzing. Yes. Quite a lot. Played my music and it seems like i'm listening it to the radio. Calls are ok. Quite smooth and clear. 3 star for sound.

Display
Imagine Galaxy S II display. This is not the same. Only resolution and the size. Under direct sunlight, u will see nothing. Definitely nothing at all. No superAMOLED for this guy. But its quite responsive. Definitely a good job. Except under the sun where I couldn't even tell who's calling me. 3 stars.

Camera
It says 5mp. But its actually 8mp. The quality is not ok but acceptable. Focusing is dead slow. Tried to candid my cat sleeping upside down but focusing is too slow my cat is already awake! Damn. They should put a SIlentWavemotor inside the lens like Nikon lenses so it would focus faster. Just kidding. The shots are ok outside. But indoor, it failed too much even with the help of the flash. 2 stars. 

Price
599. So cheap. If samsung sells phones like S II or Note at a price like this, maybe everyone will have a smartphone. I give it 5 star! Hahahaha!

Overall
The phone had been good to me (not great). Enough to fulfill its duty of receiving calls, updating my status, tweets, watsapp and also a few games. I had Galaxy S II before but i ended up giving it to my mum. I couldn't compare it to the S II because i pity this little guy. It will lose.

Thats my review on the new Ninetology Black Pearl II.

I have HTC 7 Mozart, and it can get signal rather quickly, in just 1-2 seconds, even though I'm inside my house. Meanwhile, my ex-gf Samsung Galaxy Ace take it toooo long to connect. Can't wait to test the GPS on my BP2 once I have it this evening. hmm.gif hmm.gif

Depends on how hackable is it lo. My sis's Ideos X3 also got 2-3 ROMs out there tongue.gif

The X5 also quite decent.

But if you say low spec, see the Spice Mi300. Even more ROMs that your U8150.. laugh.gif

I've gone through a few hundred (if not thousand) chinese android phones. nothing comes close.

4" IPS
MT6577 chipset
512MB RAM

^ They all share that same spec, but buttons, camera and sensor positions are awfully unique to the BP2.

Let's see.

LDP should be relatively smooth.

Hitting SKVE is okay. Turn off to Mines might be a bit slow.

FYI the rooting procedure few pages back WORKS. But you must install the drivers http://www.androidgadgematic.com/2012/09/e...db-drivers.html

Don't need to download the 300+MB SDK kit for the driver. Rooted it in 2 minutes yesterday. When it tells you to click restore on your phone, turn the screen on and you'll see "Restore settings" or something, click that. Then only will the program continue running.

Some apps need root to run like Titanium Backup. Used it to delete the Mwarranty which was bugging me to register warranty on every restart after I hard reset the phone although the dealer already did the registration on the app itself.

Drainage is because the phone does not go into deep sleep at all, at least for my case. It is running at 1001mhz constantly according to CPUSPY. If it is not the apps I install causing this, it is the fault of the kernel, and without software update from Ninetology or custom rom, we may be screwed.

yeah lol

btw before this, i've use many android devices such as SGS2 and Xperia S. most of them i already root and put custom firmware (MIUI!).. but for this BP2 i think i'll stick to stock rom as i've tested and its smooth enough for daily use.

/offtopic abit

this afternoon while i "hunt" BP2 from shop to shop around Subang area, there's this 1 shop (actually a kiosk) in Carrefour Subang that tries to sell me a fake Note2. imagine this - he says its a brand new Note2. price 699. got samsung logo summore. so i quickly go to setting and tried to press few times on version. nothing happens lol. and this "Note2" only got 4" screen doh.gif
i only can imagine if someone who dont know anything about android phone fall for this. kesian wooo.

Well I still need to check my bro's BP2 sim card with the dealer, he cant even make his first call. The casing that they gave to him doesn't really fit his BP2, I guess need to exchange that as well. Haiz.

so how was it so far ericmaxman ?

maybe you can put the steps on how to root. we'll try to contact TS to update it at first page smile.gif

Okay, initial impressions of this phone is not bad at all biggrin.gif

The weight of the phone is on the light side, but coupled with the smooth back, it can be a bit slippery at times, as well as attracting lots of finger prints. rclxub.gif The camera is an oddity by placing it at the far left corner of the phone. And also the charger/USB port being at the top, not the usual sides or bottom that we're used to see. Power button and volume keys dont feel cheap at all, which is a good thing, considering the price.

Now on to the screen. Compared to my Ideos X5, this one has a less pixel density (246 vs 233 ppi), but makes up by having a much better display technology (IPS). Viewing angles and colors are indeed top notch. The screen has a screen protector preapplied, so you dont have to find one. Also, the screen protector does attract fingerprints again rclxub.gif

On to the software part. As you all know, the BP2 comes with Android 4.0, more specifically, 4.0.4. Ninetology has added some subtle changes that I really appreciate. One of them would be the top toggle buttons. Not all stock ROMs has those toggle buttons, and seeing those here is a good welcome. Then there's the audio profiles. Those who has used non-smartphones in the past would sure know the pain when moving to Android. "Where's the silent mode, where's the outdoor mode...?" Yup, those are the questions we all asked (well I know I did) when moving to Android. But this feature makes a return on the BP2. Then after that, there's the Schedule Power On and Shutdown. This is a good feature, as a lot of folks leaves their phone charging/left on the whole night. And with this feature, you can have the phone shut down at a preset time, and power up at another preset time. Cool feature, I must say.

General usage of the phone has been pleasing. Initially, I wasn't expecting too much from the MediaTek MT6577 chipset, but it does manage to provide smooth user interaction so far. I replaced the stock Go-Launcher with my favourite Nova Launcher, which is far more smoother and looks more stock-ish.

I rooted my phone with this pack. Just download, unzip and run the Runme.bat file. Do make sure that USB Debugging has been enabled (Settings -> Developer Options -> USB Debugging). After that, just connect your phone via the USB cable to your comp, and run the file. Follow the on screen instructions (Select Normal), then when asked to restore your phone, just select to Restore. Then your phone will reboot. Once it has rebooted, you'll find SuperSU in app drawer. You can install Root Explorer to start digging into your phone (I wont be held responsible for any misfortune that happens to you).

Here's some tips once you've gotten your phone. If you have rooted yours, you can proceed by deleting the Go-Launcher related widgets and apps, QQ browser, QQ Doctor (antivirus). Also, I've checked from CPU Master, the scaling is "hybrid", and from what I saw, it switches speeds from 1001mhz to 245mhz only. No scaling in between. Battery life has been decent so far too.

Hope my short review helps you to get familiar with your new BP2. Also, ask away if you have any queries at all biggrin.gif

And onto some niggles I found while using the BP2.

Firstly, no volume wake! If you're used to custom ROMs or some earlier phones, volume wake is a very useful feature. I'll probably need to do some digging around to try to enable this.

Then there's the Youtube app which allows up t HQ playback only. Not exactly a big issue, really.

After that, you'll also realise that there's no light sensor, and the brightness setting is fixed. I have mine set at 20-30%, and it's still very much visible (thanks IPS!)

I'll continue to update my findings with this phone as time goes by. biggrin.gif

Why? I thought the Digi simcard is part of the package and is required for the warranty? hmm.gif Anyway, I just found the first annoying thing with this phone: Whenever I turn off and on the phone, it'll ask me for the default launcher which I already set before. vmad.gif vmad.gif

I asked the shop to do the registration so I can blame them if anything goes wrong. brows.gif I'm just using the stock launcher. Doesn't really like Go Launcher on an ICS devices. BTW, there's 5 home screen by default in stock launcher. How do I reduce them into one?

For the volume wake mod..



1. Grab android.policy.jar. You must have knowledge of baksmali. Extract the classes.dex from it.
2. java –jar baksmali.jar –o dex classes.dex where dex is the name of the directory it will be decompiled to.
3. Locate KeyguardViewMediator.smali and open it in something like notepad++, or gedit. Never use notepad.
4. Locate and delete these two entries: 0x18 -> :sswitch_7 and 0x19 -> :sswitch_7.
5. Recompile the classes.dex and copy it back into android.policy.jar. You must have knowledge of smali.
6. java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar dex -o classes.dex .
7. Push back to phone and reboot. This method requires a custom kernel with adb root access.
8. adb remount
9. adb push android.policy.jar /system/framework
10. adb reboot

That's kinda complicated rclxub.gif

Also, even with using MX Player, this phone still lags when playing 720p video clips.

haha been there last night. sadly they also dont have BP2 stock. tried to sell me Insight instead @ RM399 (after rm200 rebate) lol. I dont like Insight as the body looks too cheap while BP2 looks solid n sturdy. And its feels laggy.

And yes, they have many cover/casing for BP2.

i would say NO, if u r using 2 sim for heavy call & sms,whatsapp,fb etc.
but like me, 1 sim active 1 sim for data while needed, the answer is yes, tahan till 5pm at least tongue.gif

Thanks for the feedback.

I'll most probably be using it with only one SIM only.

I have another phone with smart plan to handle all the data connectivity.

Juz need to use for call & msg only. That also not very often.

So theoretically, i will be able get to better battery life than your, right? hmm.gif

But, some say that even with phone on sleep mode also can last 4 hours only o..

battery life is better if u can put it on sleep mode...so when u left idle, it did not consume much battery

Is there anyone who has tried to install AES Detector or AES Location Detector on your BP2?
Which one is better and accurate?
Must have internet connection or just simply on the GPS button?

Most phone shop at Mines now got "Accept RM200 Rebate Here". But I do recommend these 2 shops as the salesperson was nice nod.gif

Both HTC shop. 1st one located same level as TGV cinema, opposite the ticket counter. the 2nd shop is located at 4th floor. its on your most right when you come from escalator near the cinema entrance.

be careful though. some shop wanna make extra rm100 profit so they try to sell it @ rm399, not rm299. just leave the shop if they sell @ rm399.

hmmm i've seen n test both BP2 and Insight. BP2 feels alot smoother than Insight. Insight's body feels to "plastic-y" compared to solidness of BP2. However I dont know if Insight do/dont have battery life problem as BP2.

QUOTE(ericmaxman @ Jan 11 2013, 07:49 AM)
Okay, initial impressions of this phone is not bad at all biggrin.gif

The weight of the phone is on the light side, but coupled with the smooth back, it can be a bit slippery at times, as well as attracting lots of finger prints. rclxub.gif The camera is an oddity by placing it at the far left corner of the phone. And also the charger/USB port being at the top, not the usual sides or bottom that we're used to see. Power button and volume keys dont feel cheap at all, which is a good thing, considering the price.

Now on to the screen. Compared to my Ideos X5, this one has a less pixel density (246 vs 233 ppi), but makes up by having a much better display technology (IPS). Viewing angles and colors are indeed top notch. The screen has a screen protector preapplied, so you dont have to find one. Also, the screen protector does attract fingerprints again rclxub.gif

On to the software part. As you all know, the BP2 comes with Android 4.0, more specifically, 4.0.4. Ninetology has added some subtle changes that I really appreciate. One of them would be the top toggle buttons. Not all stock ROMs has those toggle buttons, and seeing those here is a good welcome. Then there's the audio profiles. Those who has used non-smartphones in the past would sure know the pain when moving to Android. "Where's the silent mode, where's the outdoor mode...?" Yup, those are the questions we all asked (well I know I did) when moving to Android. But this feature makes a return on the BP2. Then after that, there's the Schedule Power On and Shutdown. This is a good feature, as a lot of folks leaves their phone charging/left on the whole night. And with this feature, you can have the phone shut down at a preset time, and power up at another preset time. Cool feature, I must say.

General usage of the phone has been pleasing. Initially, I wasn't expecting too much from the MediaTek MT6577 chipset, but it does manage to provide smooth user interaction so far. I replaced the stock Go-Launcher with my favourite Nova Launcher, which is far more smoother and looks more stock-ish.

I rooted my phone with this pack. Just download, unzip and run the Runme.bat file. Do make sure that USB Debugging has been enabled (Settings -> Developer Options -> USB Debugging). After that, just connect your phone via the USB cable to your comp, and run the file. Follow the on screen instructions (Select Normal), then when asked to restore your phone, just select to Restore. Then your phone will reboot. Once it has rebooted, you'll find SuperSU in app drawer. You can install Root Explorer to start digging into your phone (I wont be held responsible for any misfortune that happens to you).

Here's some tips once you've gotten your phone. If you have rooted yours, you can proceed by deleting the Go-Launcher related widgets and apps, QQ browser, QQ Doctor (antivirus). Also, I've checked from CPU Master, the scaling is "hybrid", and from what I saw, it switches speeds from 1001mhz to 245mhz only. No scaling in between. Battery life has been decent so far too.

Hope my short review helps you to get familiar with your new BP2. Also, ask away if you have any queries at all biggrin.gif

It stopped at the stage *Daemon .... succesfully* something like that. did not ask me to restore.

FYI the rooting procedure few pages back WORKS. But you must install the drivers http://www.androidgadgematic.com/2012/09/e...db-drivers.html

Don't need to download the 300+MB SDK kit for the driver. Rooted it in 2 minutes yesterday. When it tells you to click restore on your phone, turn the screen on and you'll see "Restore settings" or something, click that. Then only will the program continue running.

If i buy BP2 now do i still need to upgrade the firmware or they are already upgraded to the version that fixed the battery issue?

I feel like i had been cheated by the sales person as they claim that those BP2 are already upgraded to the newest... lolz

Is there anyone who has tried to install AES Detector or AES Location Detector on your BP2?
Which one is better and accurate?
Must have internet connection or just simply on the GPS button?

Bought mine at Motorola Concept Store in Sunway Pyramid last saturday.
There is a notice on the shop stating 'PKB ada di sini'.
Gave my confirmation slip and photostat I.C. and the RM299 of course.
Quite good service from the seller actually. Hassle free.
He told me still got stock. Anybody wanna buy can try there.
Located at the highest floor beside the HTC store.

Ok, about the phone. So far, everything o.k. Quite smooth actually. Connected to my unifi at home. Not much loading time for web browsing.
The interface is lag free too. As i am using it as a second phone, with one 1 SIM active, connected to my house wifi, and moderate usage, the battery fully charge from 10a.m. will last just enough till 7-8p.m.
So, yes the battery drain is quite bad.

I bought a powerbank to overcome the battery drain issue, so i really satisfied with this phone especially considering the price.

No, what he mean is, he charge the phone at 10 am, and need to charge back at 7pm or 8pm on the same day.
