I had review about this in V1.

Comparing with Note3, GPS in-door lockon is slow.

When drive with Waze, it will something lost GPS contact and took a few minute to catch up. But if everything works right, X1 is your best in car GPS and entertainment device. All you need is just a right holder.
When play the Google game INGRESS, also face a few time GPS lost contact.

So my very own conclusion, X1 GPS performance is BAD.

I think this will be the best in car holder for X1 :

bro my unit doesn't have any problem with GPS/Waze
it's a China unit and GPS will lock almost instantly, maybe it's a problem with local units??
any other people got GPS problem??

the holder looks nice but it's pricey

I tried this tempered glass screen protector, http://www.lelong.com.my/tempered-glass-sc...5-05-Sale-P.htm

It is a disaster which I have already removed and replace with normal screen protector. I wanted to try the other one but when I ask seller, no respond if it is the same as the earlier one with both top and bottom does not stick properly. I have also check with dealer who sell tempered screen protector (in sunway pyramid), they also facing the same problem, both top and bottom does not stick properly.  rclxub.gif

I think this "bag" is highly functional, but may not suit everyone. I saw this in 1Gadget when I bought my X1.

I have updated my china set to the new firmware, it is running at 4.4.2 and emui 2.3. The update will wipe the phone memory, so need to do back up. After update, the icon seem nicer. Good news, save app to memory card is still there by default. Much better memory management, which now is got about 900-1000mb free memory. Much more theme available. Now can see the telco name at the top. Font is bigger.

How to backup and restore from backup?
Will the icon/folder arrangements be restored?

There is backup apps which is under tools folder. (it could be under cloud folder if there is any such folder). Just run the apps and follow the information, it will do backup to your memory card. There is few option you can choose on what you want to backup.

For my case, once i restore, the icon/folder arrangement is not properly done (perhaps due to the different screen resolutions after the firmware update). Other information is properly restored.

thanks bro
found the app. It's in cloud folder

Finally i manually update the phone to latest 4.4.2 emui 2.3

Visually different from the previous version and feels like something new. Lock screen improved a lot and i like the new feature apps appear at bottom with one line of quote. That's refreshing change

Still playing around to discover new changes to the phone

But then again nowadays I'm not taking the long haul bus ride home but instead driving myself. So the play time with the phone have decreased a lot

Hi sordanny,
would you mine to tell us what model you are using? 7D-501L or 7D-503L ? and how you manually update the firmware? can you share a guide?
*
Yes it is 503L. The firmwares cant be used for local set and vice versa

Update firmware by downloading the ROM and extract to SD card root folder, it will contain always a folder "dload". Make sure it is there. Then go to settings -> updates -> system updates -> local update
The ROM will then do its magic

Make sure your SD card MUST be in FAT32 format and have got more than 6GB free space, battery power >30% or plug in power

For those who can understand mandarin, see the attachment

QUOTE(un_id @ Aug 25 2014, 01:22 PM)
the update is for Chinese set right? not local malaysian set?
*
Yes it is
I remember another forumer checked and local set will get OTA update after 1 Sept. It is a few posts back

actually it was foe china set which uner the honor x1 name..honestly i prefer jb over kk on my x1.. sweat.gif  sweat.gif flashed it once and only last couple of days before i back to jb..
*
Well, after playing with the phone over lunch time, I love the new interface. Some have commented the fonts are big but for me it's acceptable
I especially like the subtle lock screen improvements wub.gif
i do notice the battery drain when idle is faster than the previous version but at this point i can't be sure as i haven't restored everything

From the backup, home screen icon arrangement can't be restored so u gotta re-do the icons/widgets all over again. A small setback but nothing serious

If i rooted the device, maybe possible stock online updates loses.
My question is, if i Unroot it back, can i perform online updates to my device??
*
if u didn't delete any system apps after root u can direct OTA update
even if u deleted system apps u will still get notification for update, but u couldn't complete the update

if u face this situation, flash ROM manually

Does anyone having a problem of incoming calls on x1?...seems like sometimes my x1 having trouble to received incoming calls. It appers to be 'out of coverage area' but on my phone showing as 'My Maxis'.. this happen to me for the past 3 days already...anyone having same problem with me?
*
I have never face any call problems with this phone before. I can even say signal reception is better than Samsung phones. Previously in office I get weak 1-2 bar 4G signals on Samsung phones but the X1 I get consistently full 1 bar short of full

If u get full bar signal on your phone but voice calls still can't get through it could be network congestion. Try call to/from your office phone to check. If phone show weak signal then it is maxshit problem

I am facing trouble in updating by using SD card. I have extract the dload and put at the root directory of SD card. but failed. the file I download from Taiwan webside.
*
Make sure your SD card is in FAT32 format, and also at least 5GB free space
Trigger the update by: settings -> updates -> system updates -> local update

I have posted a guide in Chinese few pages back, search for that post

yes. I did all as you mentioned. but still failed.

The contents of the .zip file u downloaded must be extracted to the root of the SD card folder. It will always contain a folder "dload"

If u have already created the folder "dload" maybe try deleting the existing "dload" folder and use the one extracted from the .zip file instead
