The most common complaint I see with Mediatek phones, specifically the MTK6589 and MTK6589T is to do with weak GPS. There are many fixes that have been made available with mixed results. For those of us that need a reliable GPS but haven’t been able to fix the problem it leads to all sorts of frustration. (more…)
One of the most frustrating errors you can get is “item isn’t supported in your country”. Recently, Google made their excellent keyboard available on Google Play, however users in certain countries weren’t supported. That included me.

Gizbeat generally doesn’t take the time to post little tips and tricks and maybe some of you already take advantage of this, but this is one of the things I have found very useful.
While many of us know that a two-finger pull-down on the notification bar will access our toggles, this is not conducive to single-hand operation. What are you doing with your other hand? Well, I don’t want to guess… But let’s just say there are times when we need the toggles and both hands aren’t readily available.

Gizbeat has come across a situation where a chinaphonearena user is soft-bricked and can’t boot into Android. I believe this is due to the permission settings on the build.prop file.

The tutorial will cover this specific situation of doing it through recovery, (more…)
