Pictures of my phone with a modded Note 3 tough stand case

I agree, the performance is just splendid, can compare to the note 3, no lag at all doing anything from surfing to heavy gaming.

At RM500, I can't really complain about the performance, I much prefer the matte finish, larger battery, and design over the normal a850. For less than RM100 more, you get a SOC twice as powerful, seems like a no brainer for me

Mine is also running at 1.66GHz, I think they used the normal 6592 instead of the M version, either way, performance is excellent.

Mine says A850+_S118_www.sjrom.cn , got BM also under language. Please stop double posting, just edit your previous post rather than making 2. Forum rules

Sorry, no idea what the page looks like on a phone, I'll try figure it out on Monday, when I'm out on my phone. I apologise if it sounded like I was scolding, it was just a friendly reminder

For me, battery life has been unbelievably good, check my 1st post last section for an example. Standby time (just 3g network, no data or wifi on) loses 2% per day, which is amazing. watching movies, definitely can go more than 12 hours on minimum brightness (it's actually higher than the phone's default minimum brightness) using MX player.

If you are a light user, I think only need to charge every 4-5 days. If never use, I'm sure 1 month also can last on standby

Never thought the battery life can be so amazing off a 2500mAh and a 5.5'' screen +8-core

Can, see my 1st post, it fits 95% perfectly, only a few ports and buttons the alignment is off slightly.

Edit: as for battery life, I was gaming for 2 hours straight today, playing Pivvot (yes, it's spelled with 2 v's), battery went down to 2/3 and screen was at 1/2 brightness.

Graphics are lower, but I checked in BBS and it showed the CPU was running at 1.6GHz nearly the whole time, no idea how many cores, but I know the game is quite intensive. My friend MT6589 phone lags slightly even on medium settings, mine can run max no problem

Yeah, speaker, headphone and camera flash covered, but you see the pics, I already drilled speaker holes, headphone one I cut the casing, camera flash I haven't do yet, trying to figure out the best way to make the opening

Storage is no problem for me (phone is rooted), I just use this app: link . Can link any 2 folders, so for example GTA San Andreas is 2.5GB, the obb file is nearly 2.5GB, so I put that on my microsd, link it, and the phone thinks it's on the internal memory. The only thing that is actually on the internal is the app itself, which is just a few MB. Tried out the other method of moving apps to the microsd using link2sd, but hated it because of the wasted space since an extra partition has to be created

Hard to compare, 2 different types of games, but I would say about the same. But I think gaming should be good for at least 4 hours, unless you are playing GTA

Mine is also the same thing, no idea if custom or not, seems like no difference to me, but I already added a CWM recovery so can do backups and mess around even more

GPS works fine, use it to navigate with Sygic since I don't have data

I'm using a Sandisk Extreme 32GB Class 10 in my A850+, no problem at all. Both brands are good, but I personally prefer Sandisk for their memory cards since they have a ton of experience in the field (like DSLR CF cards)


Yeah, dual SIM, it's the standard size one, not the tiny one.

I have both phones, RR3 runs the same on both the note 3 and a850+, perfectly smooth. In fact, I haven't come across a single game that even lags at all on the phone. I can't comment about MC4 because I think FPS is so impossible to play on a touchscreen.

Asphalt 8 is retarded, the graphics settings are grayed out for medium and high, some build.prop model detection and GPU ID detection. Tried an app to fake the info to unlock the settings but it didn't work. Gave up on the game since RR3 is just so much better than Asphalt. 2x the number of cars, and like 20x the number of tracks. Graphics and physics are on a whole different level, even compared to GT Racing 2 (gameloft's realistic driving game) If you are a racing enthusiast I highly recommend you try RR3 instead of Asphalt 8!

My A850+ from directd running S118 also has that Clear Motion feature. Has anyone else here encountered the stupid auto brightness extremely bright minimum brightness? If it's on auto, and you go into a dark room, the minimum is still way too bright, and if you use the status bar toggles, the minimum is still the same as the auto-brightness minimum...However, if you use the power widget, the minimum there can go much lower.

Yeah, you can change it back after that. What that message means that as long as the drives are mounted, the apps that are installed onto your SD card won't be able to run, since they are mounted for your computer via UMS. If you want to continue using your apps properly while still connected to the computer, use MTP mode instead.

Did you mess around with the media scanner? try doing this:

1. Go to settings> apps> media scanner/storage, click clear data
2. Restart phone
3. Wait 15 minutes
4. Restart again

your ringtones and music files should be visible after doing this.

No problem , aways glad to help. Sometimes the media scanner gets messed up by itself and holds crazy wakelocks, which was a problem I had on my S2. 6 hours phone in standby, and like 5 hours 30 mins awake because of media scanner, then when I tried clearing data the same problem like yours came up, no music or pics detected.

I already updated mine to a modded S124, same like yours also, no power manager and SecureIT, this time, I did a full wipe and used the option to install to sdcard. Turns out the phone flips the partition of the internal and external, so now it thinks my internal is my 32gb card. AWESOME!

Sure thing, I got the ROM from here: link. So far the only bug (that's not really a bug) is the wifi hotspot option causes a FC (force close) in settings because the guy removed the app, so just get a 3rd party app from the store and use that instead.

Reboot option doesn't work(just shuts off and doesn't come back on), same thing with the shutdown if the fast bootup option is ticked(it doesn't boot). So have to shutdown and then turn on manually.

I seem to have messed up my IMEI along the way, possibly because I did a full wipe in the flashing program. My phone now says invalid IMEI, but I can make and receive calls and sms'es no problem, so I don't really care.

Other than that, the phone is lightning fast and ultra smooth. I will have to check about the caller ID bug

Still really good, I can go about 8-10 hours screen on time with mixed web surfing, gaming and YouTube. This is with around 2 hours of bluetooth music streming and wifi on the whole way (I don't have data)

No prob, FC= Force close. The message you get when an app crashes or becomes non-responsive.

Edit: woops, someone beat me to explaining
