Hello friends, as you can see Im a new member here and a new proud owner of H7500+ (flashed with european 4.2.1 zopo ROM).
The first thing I noticed about it was the 3G and GPS problems.
The first problem disappeared with the new rom, and setting in the engineer mode ( *#*#3646633#*#* ) Network > Selecting GSM / WCDMA (auto) instead of "WCDMA preferred".
Cutting to the chase.
I was digging in the xda/zopo/(and here
) forums and I managed to set my GPS to get fast fix outside buildings (10-30 secs depending on my location, it took like forever before that). I enabled (in the engineer mode) supl, agps (MSB), epo. So now the GPS is working fine outside buildings, but in my home (massive concrete walls ) cannot find a single satellite. Only if I am near the window it finds few (4-5) for about 30-60 secs. The interesting thing i noticed that if I touch the phone where the GPS antenna is (upper right corner) the satellite signals rise immediately. So I found those threads:
Obviously if we manage to improve the antenna we will get a perfect GPS.
I still dont have the guts to open my phone and see what it can be done (I've had it only for 1 week) and im pretty sure the the warranty will be lost.
Im just giving you food for thought, if you come up with an idea to improve the antenna without disassembling the phone, please share it
