Hi my first posting I should be taking delivery of vodaphone VPA this weekend with windows 2003 second edition on it, is it possible to put WM6 on it? if so is it difficult to do. Or would it be best for WM5? or stay as it is.
VODAFONE VPA COMPACT Key Features :
Operating System Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition
Processor: Intel PXA272 (Bulverde 416 MHz)
ROM : 64MB
Thanks in advance of any answers
how many ram installed?
Hi thanks for your quick reply its as follows
RAM : 64MB SDRAM
definitely possible i think. It might be harder because a good number of people here are used to Texas Instruments OMAP processors.
It just takes time.

Please confirm
3g support: WCDMA 2100Mhz ONLY?
2g support 900/1800/1900
All my research on this phone has concluded it actually is:
3g support WCDMA 850/2100
2g support: GSM 900/1800MHz
can you please use mobile uncle tools mtk to confirm the radios, the 3g WCDMA 850 band is very important for me!
thanks in advance
Got mine today
http://colonelzap.blogspot.de/2013/04/zopo-zp980-scorpio-mt6589-quad-core.html
This phone, I just love the specs!
Might be a good replacement for my galaxy s+ which is slowly dying...
I guess it is hard to go wrong with this one?
Question now is - will it be supported by developers?

i find this for you:
Dual sim Dual standby, but Dual Band
we find Dual sim support 3g network on mtk6589 chip, but not dual 3g stanby, wcdma+gms, or gsm+wcdma, and sim1 come with mini card as iphone 4, zopomobileshop.com will send with free cutter sticker, and we have pay special attention to the internet frenquency 2G: GSM 900/1800MHz
3G: WCDMA 850/2100 MHz, seems that it will not work well in america and south amerian countries sim operator, before you would like to buy one, you have better have a check with your sim card provider, here are some info i found on wiki, hope it help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_country_code, or

thanks so much Ghost!
yes WCDMA 850/2100 is the frequency I need here in New Zealand! I hope its supported.
Also I think there may be a difference between the Chinese version and the international version of this phone so maybe the OP had the Chinese version!
And I am sure Zopo are releasing the premium version of this phone soon which has 2gb ram and a larger battery (2500mAh I think) But there is a problem on all phones with using 2gb ram and the MTK chip so I think once that issue is resolved, there is going to be a flood of phones all released at the same time: Jiayu S1/G4, neo n003, Nubia Z5, Newman N3, iconean X7, Umi X2...

The chipset didn't support 2Gb RAM so they have had to create a hardware fix:
sorry i cannot post links yet but here is the statement:
"The X2 suffered from a rather important set-back, basically the phone was announced to ship with a quad-core MT6589 CPU and 2GB RAM, despite the chip not offering support for that amount of RAM! UMi aren’t the only ones though Jiayu, iOcean and others have all promised the same and are all working on fixes."
"This weekend we reported that the UMi X2 would be delayed due to an optimisation problem with running 2GB RAM with the quad-core MT6589 processor. After posting the article we were inundated with emails, comments and Facebook messages asking us if the reports are true. Today we managed to get on the phone with our contact at UMi (a manager at the company) to confirm the delay.
Our contact at UMi confirms that the UMi X2 has been delayed, but that they are working to optimise the phone and hope to launch the X2 by April.
I have also asked our contact to confirm a few details regarding international availability, and he promises to get back to me as soon as possible."
"The X2 looks to have been just one step away from heading in to full production, the pesky issue with compatibility between the quad-core Mediatek MT6589 processor and 2GB RAM. The first hint we had that the problem had been fixed was when the No.1 P7 mini Pad got an official launch date, and now it seems UMi have got a fix too."

I LOVE those "subjective" questions
Stability? You mean as in build quality? In my opinion very good.
Battery? Good question! I bet you could drain the battery in a couple hours but it might also last several days, it depends on a million things
Speed? O.k., I guess?!? The stock launcher is a little laggy some times, that's why I always use different launchers. Of course this high screen resolution takes aways a little speed compared to other phones with the same amount of RAM and the MT6589 cpu.
Feel? I really like the feel
Three things that makes this phone better than any other Chinese phone I had so far are:
1) The display! I've never seen anything like that before. Zopo claims it is a LTPS (low temperature poly silicon) TFT display. To be honest, I didn't even know something like that existed Whatever that is, it looks great! Fantastic viewing angles and very nice contrast / colors. It's too bad something like that can't be captured in a video.
2) The sound quality when using GOOD(!!!!!) headsets. Again, I have NO IDEA what's different in this phone but the sound is amazing!
3) The GPS: Super fast fix and I got an accuracy up to 1.7 meters!

Good question?!? The Zp980 isn't exaclty cheap, you can probably get a phone with similar specs but with a lower screen resolution much cheaper. I guess it depends on what's important to you, that's a decission everyone needs to make for themselves.
Edit: One more things: I love the fact that this baby supports OTA firmware updates. That is something you don't see too often on Chinese phones and defintely NEVER on those "Shanzhai" no-name phones

How is the dual SIM functionality? When sending an SMS or making a call how do you select which SIM? on android 2.3 you have to drag the top bar down to select, is it same is 4.1? When reciving a call or text does it indicate which SIM is has been recieved via?

You can either set standards or you can always be asked which sim card should be used. The two sim cards are always labled when you miss a call or if a sms was received. Let me attach some pictures, hope that helps

Hi everyone,
I know the Xiaomi Mi Max is officially sold in China and India.
Apparently the version from China is compatible with several LTE Bands worldwide.
My doubt is: As of now, is there any hardware difference for this device sold in China / India / (wherever else it may being sold officially)?
Also, is there any differenze in size between Mi Max (32/64GB rom, 3GB ram) and Mi Max Prime (128GB, 4GB ram)?
I am trying to understand this in order to order an appropriate cover
Thanks in advance

there is no difference with respect to hardware btw the chinese & indian manufactured mi max.they have the same hardware save for a few minor differences in make of camera,touch panel,screens,camera sensors etc.although they are frm diff manufacturers, they are specced the same.the diff comes in form of preloaded os.again though both are the same,chinese ones will be preloaded with chinese stable firmware and indian units(which i personally own) have global stable firmware.the major diff in terms of software would be chinese localized app and absense of google apps in chinese stable,while in global stable comes with google apps preloaded.that where the differences end.the overall physical dimensions remain the same.you can cross install firmware if u wish
now coming to the diff btw the 3/32 vs 4/128 there is slight diff in soc.the 3/32 called "hydrogen" has hexacore(2x1.8ghz a72+4x1.4ghz a53) snapdragon 650 while the 4/128 called "helium" has octacore(4x1.8ghz a72+4x1.4ghz a53) snapdragon 652soc.the gpu is the same in both versions.again there will be no diff in the physical dimensions btw the 2 models

now coming to the diff btw the 3/32 vs 4/128 there is slight diff in soc.the 3/32 called "hydrogen" has hexacore(2x1.8ghz a72+4x1.4ghz a53) snapdragon 650 while the 4/128 called "helium" has octacore(4x1.8ghz a72+4x1.4ghz a53) snapdragon 652soc.the gpu is the same in both versions.again there will be no diff in the physical dimensions btw the 2 models

Thanks for your answer.
Is it correct to say I can install the Global rom on a device coming from China, and get the very same result (besides minor hw differences) as buying it in India (for example)?
Also, since I understand you have the global edition , could you say if it supports full disk encryption on MIUI 8 (from settings > privacy or something like that), in a way that without unlock code the phone doesn't start at all?
(as reference, there is also this - unanswered - question about this topic :http://c.mi.com/in/thread-4401-1-1.html)
Thank you
yes, you can. but you must look for the right on coz always 2 global roms comes.
One for the Mi max with 16 and 32 gb (hydrogen) or the rom for the 32 and 128 gb mi max (helium).

PS: Best rom ever, no more need RR

for the 1part of the question answer is yes
for the 2nd part of the question,as far as i know,since the data partition is encrypted, after the device boots up,u'll be presented with the password (login) screen,and unless u enter the the password u wont see the homescreen,and no one will be able to access ur data.the only way to use the device is to format the data partition with custom recovery and install new new rom at which point all ur data would be permanent ly erased.
