Hello Folks,
Well, one of my ELFins is needing a new battery, I even went ahead and ordered a new Housing as well. But....I am still deciding if I should order the standard OEM battery or try one of those Higher Capacity slim ones, not the ones with that bulky back door.
Anybody can suggest or comment, maybe recommend?

I just open this thread for this mobile.
i have just received it and I would like to share the fact that the ROOT procedure as recommended by ZOPOMOBILE site is perfectly working.
After Root it is necessary to update Superuser from the market and the SU BIN as well.
Everything is smooth and easy.
Regards
Please share the rooting and tomorrow flashing instructions, thanks
Attached you can find all you need:
- a detailed guide
- the update file

Can you please give some feedback on the phone itself. Specially the battery which looks too small (1250 mAh).

I can tell you that after a couple of weeks of use, the battery is lasting one full day. You need to perform 3-4 full cycles charge and discherge to get full capacity but now is more than acceptable.
I'm using it for business and I do not loose any call.
The UMTS 3G data is perfectly working as well as all the others features it promises.
Fully recommended froma myself... but I'm not an expert.

So I got a ZP200 and updated the firmware to the latest 20120508 one. Now pressing search button in home screen doesn't bring up Google Search any more. It vibrates a bit but nothing else. Long press still brings up Voice Search, though.
The new firmware enables the full 1GB of RAM. It's pretty nice to be able to switch between many apps.

It's from Zopo's site: http://www.zopomobile.com/xiazai.php
No, it's not ICS. Still 2.3.6.
So I figured out why the search button stopped working after the update. The new firmware is missing GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in /system/app.
I installed Google Search from Play Store. Then made a copy of com.google...googlequicksearchbox-1.apk (can't remember the full name) in /data/app. Uninstalled Google Search in Play Store. Moved the copy to /system/app. Renamed it to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk. Changed permissions to rw-r--r--. And I now have a functioning search button!
Of course you need to root it first. All the file operations (copy, move, etc...) were done with AntTek Explorer (File Manager) but I think any root file manager will do.
hello,
can you tell us how you do to install upgrade ?
thanks

Here's a tutorial on flashing ROM on MT6575 phones:
http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html
The flash tool and steps are the same on all MT6575 phones. But make sure you load the correct update of your phone model. Here's the one I use (click at the green download button):
http://115.com/file/anrc4v2k#
Did anyone of you buy anything from:
h**p://w_w_w.zopomobileshop.com/en/
I'm wondering if it is save, they have decent prices but they take extra money for Paypal payments
remove _ and change * to t in address.
Hi stephen,
After being messed about ordering the dami y5 i have took plunge and paid for the zopo 200 as only brought the gphone merely for iphone lookalike, but now i wanted a bigger screen and more reliable phone.
Anything i need to know as regards does it come rooted? if not will superoneclick do the job?
I know only some things from having the gphone f27 but the zopo will be a newbie to me.
Looking forward to this thread and mostly my phone.
I noticed you mention something as regards get the full 1gb unlocked, why is it not already functional?
have you been able to get a protective case for yours?
Also what phone is the zopo 200 version a copy of as i see the 100 is copy of the htc evo.
I will be playing and trying things out when i get it and anything i can help with i surely will
Best wishes
Pete

It doesn't come rooted but rooting it is real easy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26268246&postcount=3
The phone was shipped with a kernel that limits the memory access to 512MB. The new shipment in China is now with the new kernel. I don't know what you will get. If the build number is ZP200_120508 or later than you have the latest.
Personally I HATE protective case. No phone is thin enough and I don't need to make it worse.
I don't know what it's copied from. Don't think it (or ZP100) had a specific target for that. They both look really generic.
Wow them cases have got to you, you want to talk about it?
I was thinking about the thin rubber type just for the back only to protect from scratches, tyre type design one like for the ipod, iphone as i got my 2 boys one for their ipods and and gphone, nice and slim and perfect for the job.
Think one's your HATING are the ott chunky one's, which i agree are pointless.
Thank you for link, i have read full thread already and saved everything and will follow carefully, read twice then act.
Really looking forward to it's arrival.
Did you get 2 batteries with your's or had to go and buy another spare as from what i read, only downside to this phone is battery life.
Best wishes
Pete
Just an info for Italian people ... a good site very reliable and tested personally wher to by ZOPO and other Chinese mobiles ... vivandroid.com.
They are personally tested, very correct and reliable and the mobiles are already in Italy !!

The battery life is the number 1 issue with this otherwise great phone of value. It was originally designed with an optional add-on battery in the form of a back cover. Unfortunately, the add-on battery caused so many problem (flickering screen, for example) they canceled it after the first batch.
Zopo is working on a new higher capacity (2000mAh) replacement battery with a thicker back cover. It's scheduled to become available by the end of June. It will increase the thickness of the phone from 12.5mm to 14.5mm. http://bbs.zopomobile.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=13248&extra=page=1
I don't know if it will become the standard battery but my guess is it will. We will have to find a way to get the replacement parts from China somehow. And it's obviously having an impact on the case design. Zopo had some cases for the existing one, but they will have to redesign them along with the new battery.
The phone surface is tacky enough for me. So no case needed for me.
---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------
And BTW. Hero H6000 is identical to ZP200. The official firmware update files from Zopo even have the name H6000 in it.
Some good reading there stephen.
Interesting on battery information, i wonder if i maybe get the newer one? doubt it as they need to sell the current stock.
I used translator to give me an idea on what they are upto.
Have you got gps working?
Cheers fella

Yes. That's the same one I have installed since the first of the month.
The latest news from Zopo forums is 4.0 is almost done but they are stuck on bringing in 3D functionality. I was guessing that's the holdup since no other MT6575 phone is 3D capable. I wish they will just release a version without 3D first since not many people depend on that anyways.
On other MediaTek related news: It seems the new dual-core MT6577 phones are near their release. There's really high anticipation over there in China for this low cost performance platform. No clue if Zopo is working on one but the first couples of them will be by Huawei and Lenovo.
If anyone is looking to buy a MT6575 phone and can wait a bit, I'd advice to wait for the MT6577 phones. In addition to the obvious performance advantage, they will come with Android 4.0 installed. No update or wait needed.
I went to my local shop today and asked for a replacment as my phone kept getting so slow and hot i just wanted to try another not only that i was silly n scratched the back of the phone "i could of cryed lol" so ive now orderd a case. Well now i have my replacment this 1 just seems much faster. With all apps installed like previous its defo a better device. So i guess theres devices that function better than others. Can anyine recommend me a good screen protector?

Hi guys,
I just thought id make a thread and see what is your thoughts of LG's new firmware update 10h just released yesterday.. I must say im impressed with it and the issues especially as im a UK owner and still haven't gone or touched the leaked 10j update think its great.. It seems lag free and also few minor tweaks. However, battery life has been the same if not worse.
Let me know whats everyone thoughts and opinion thanks guys..

Hi people,
Searching for a battery for my mother's phone, I saw a 3000 mAh battery for our Z3 Compact on the Ali Express:
aliexpress.com/item/3000mAh-LIS1561ERPC-Mobile-Phone-Battery-for-SONY-Xperia-Z3-mini-Compact-M55W-D5833-SO-02G/32720351617.html
I sent a message for the seller to get more information but I believe that he won't have much others.
Anyone here already saw this battery, already placed it in a phone and used to know the quality and if there not got any problem?
i saw that too...but i wouldnt risk it... with Battery exploding for no apparent reason...
the autonomy in the z3 is pretty good as it is...
approximately 3 years and still going strong...
