[split] iNew V8 Plus questions

[kannan1205]

I got the V8Plus a couple of months back and i must say i am quite happy with it. It has a decent display and camera. Few things i need help with

1. The battery seems a little small for a screen size this small. Is there an alternative larger battery that we can use?
2. I came across this phone and a 3200mah battery is available as an accessory. Would anyone know if this would fit the V8 Plus.

3. I have updated the firmware to the latest one and there definately seems to have a few things sorted out. However i have one strange issue - when i using the phone on a softer surface (like the bed), the touch is quite unresponsive. I meant i end having to press the screen harder

4. Lastly, the sound could have been a lot better - anyone knows of any tweaks? I am not just looking at loudness but clarity

Hi kannan1205 !

I can only answer you (and give you a suggestion) to the question number 4.
INCREASE THE AUDIO WITH MOBILEUNCLE TOOLS:

The Max Volume is 160 , but a lot of people advise against to set the max volume to 160 because it could damage your phone. Set the max volume to 150 is more than enough.
After any modify REMEMBER to write in a txt the original parameters.

THE AUDIO SETTINGS:

Open Mobile Uncle Tools and open engineering mode.
Under engineering mode, go to 'Hardware Testing' and go to ‘Audio’.
Go to ‘Normal Mode’ (front speaker)
Under ‘Type’ select 'Sip'.
Under ‘Level’ enter these values (Value is 0~255)
Level 0 < Value 160 Max vol 150 (press SET and OK)
Level 1 < Value 176 Max vol 150 (press SET and OK)
Level 2 < Value 192 Max vol 150 (press SET and OK)
Level 3 < Value 208 Max vol 150 (press SET and OK)
Level 4 < Value 224 Max vol 150 (press SET and OK)
Level 5 < Value 240 Max vol 150 (press SET and OK)
Level 6 < Value 255 Max vol 150 (press SET and OK)

Apply the same settings (above) to 'Sip' on ‘Headset Mode’ and 'Sip' on ‘Loudspeaker Mode’
'Loudspeaker Mode' is the back speaker.

Next, in ‘Normal Mode’ under ‘Type’ select ‘Mic’. Under ‘Level’ select ‘Level 0'.
Under ‘Value is 0~255' enter 255. For all levels, from level 0-6 set the value as 255 (there are 14 levels on my phone and I've set all levels to 255). This will ensure that your voice is audible to other person even when you turn down the speaker volume. Apply the same settings to ‘Headset Mode’ -> Mic and ‘Loudspeaker Mode’ -> Mic.

Next, in ‘Normal Mode’ under ‘Type’ select ‘Sph’. Under ‘Level’ select ‘Level 0'.
Enter these values under ‘Value is 0~160' for various levels.
Apply the same settings (above) to 'Sph2'

Level 0 -> 90
Level 1 -> 100
Level 2 -> 110
Level 3 -> 120
Level 4 -> 130
Level 5 -> 140
Level 6 -> 150

Apply the same settings (above) to ‘Headset Mode’ -> Sph, Sph2 and ‘Loudspeaker Mode’ -> Sph, Sph2

Next, in ‘Normal Mode’ under ‘Type’ select ‘Media’.
Enter these values under ‘Value is 0~255' for various levels.

Level 0 -> 32
Level 1 -> 48
Level 2 -> 64
Level 3 -> 80
Level 4 -> 96
Level 5 -> 112
Level 6 -> 128
Level 7 -> 144
Level 8 -> 160
Level 9 -> 176
Level 10 -> 192
Level 11 -> 208
Level 12 -> 224
Level 13 -> 240
Level 14 -> 255

Apply the same settings (above) to 'Headset Mode’ -> FMR, Media and Matv
Apply the same settings (above) to ‘Loudspeaker Mode’ -> FMR, Media and Matv

VERY IMPORTANT: remember to restart the phone after to apply all the settings.

Hi I have the V8 not the V8+ which is almost the same. Officially there is no other battery for the V* but there are thousands phones out there and someone could fit (as like the V3). The problem is that there is no other way to tell if it fits, than to try it physically. We can only speculate.
Now about the link you posted, I never heard of that phone and i cannot trust the Chinese brands (the ones that are not popular) about battery capacity and maybe for some other specs.

Thanks for the detailed response. I plan to do it today. Wanted to check one thing before i proceed - does this improve the loudness or does it have any effect on the clarity?

[nikstar]

This adjusts the volume, but it could affect the clarity.

Hi kannan1205 !

I've tested it on my device with success ... and now ringtones, notifications, my voice (output) and other voices (input) sound better.
Believe me NIKSTAR :-)

Are you using a V8 Plus too? I tried these changes yesterday but did not notice any changes.

[Cleopatra]

Hi kannan1205 !

My device is an MPIE G7.
It doesn't matter the brand/model of the devices ... those are universal audio settings.
Do you have installed Mobileuncle apk ?
Do you have restarted your device after applied all the settings ?

HI Cleopatra,

I agree these changes are device independent. recently there was a firmware upgrade for V8 Plus. On the earlier firmware i increased the ringtone volume using mobileuncle and it did make a difference. However the current one does not offer that gain. Yes I have mobile uncletools installed :-)
