Known phone problems and ways to eliminate them

Auto rotate

There is a problem with the auto-rotate screen, as there is no such solution. The option to disable fast boot does not solve the problem. The only way to return the sensor to the senses is to turn the phone off and on again (less likely to distort the battery).
It is believed that turning off the auto-turn affects a closeelectromagnetic field.
On many phones, the auto-rotate stopped turning off after upgrading to the 25th firmware.
It is believed that disabling the Google Chrome browser solves the problem with auto-rotate. Who helped this opinion, unsubscribe the curator of the topic.

The solution to the problem with connecting WI-FI. NVRAM WARNING: ERR 0x10

Method 1:

To begin with, we try to restart the smartphone, if it didn’t help, then follow the next instruction. Need root rights.
Replace file by path/ data / nvram / APCFG / APRDEB / on this .
To do this, you can use your favorite file manager with root privilege support.

Method 2:

There is no LED at all. The screen is bright. The color rendering is calm - the colors are not poisonous. The sound of the speaker is loud. The vibration in the pocket of jeans is felt :) The speaker yells like it’s not bad - you heard a standard melody in the subway.

Yes, where it is 3 hours at max brightness with the Internet turned on. About yusb-host don `t know.

[viking000]

The yellow lid that is currently on the device - sits tightly squeaks and there is no backlash.

[Pashka]

The assembly is excellent. There is no crease, there is no backlash. The plastic is nice to the touch, there are no hands marks. There is a gray cover.

A couple of questions:
1) The description in the topic header says that 2G for GSM, 3G for WCDMA. This is a typo, the compiler did not understand correctly or how? ATofficial brochurethere is no such thing, simply the frequencies for these networks are painted and that's it.
2) Does the phone have one radio module? Those. When an incoming call on 1 sim to the second call "subscriber is not a subscriber" or how?

[viking000]

1) The first sim card works in 2G and 3G, the second only in 2G
2) There is 1 radio module in the phone, while 1 of the SIMs is busy (telephone conversation, Internet data reception) - the second is not available

The interface does not lag, though nothing has been installed properly. The camera opens 1-1.5 seconds, the ability to enable a zero delay shutter (ZSD) is. About the compass - I did not understand something =) - what's this?

How can the screen work for 3 hours if on the screen

body work only about 4 hours, and the display work 24% of the time. This is an hour's time, you are confusing something.

Included are gray and yellow covers, protective film, unpretentious wired headsets, charging, paper. As for the fm transmitter, in applications other than the standard fm radio, nothing similar is found, in the user manual this is not a word.

Probably confused, it felt like there was about 3 hours climbing in it.

Less than 20% left

It is very interesting how it will manifest itself when watching a video at 50% brightness and off. by networks.
Here is the bet on the battery, and it should be held properly.

I agree. But more interesting is the web-hosting script with mail synchronization enabled. Few people use smart as a simple media player.

Owners, tell me, please, how many cameras does this camera have, one or two? If two, then what is the front resolution?

Two cameras. One frontal (Front (1.3Mp)), Second main (Rear (8Mp)).

For 4 hours of the display. Not much. What, basically, did it at this time? Basically: Surfing on the Internet - synchronization of 3 mails +

Well, judging abstractly, with the same use, I would have killed 1.5 batteries on the SE Ray (my native 1 year, China - 0.5 g) - with 80% screen brightness.
