Thanks for the info. It sure does help me choose my next phone. I saw a video on youtube showing ZP998 beats T200 on Antutu by a little more in every aspect despite the fact is true or not I still won't buy ZP998 cause I saw quite a bit of ZP998 owners already complaining ring volume, weak sound on video recording, GPS and WIFI problems meaning all these are being transferred from ZP990 to 998. As most of the people know ZOPO don't give a damn and provide no after sale support. On the hand I am trying not to go back to Samsung Galaxy series ( which I dumped Galaxy 3 for OPPO Find 5 ) The reason is pricey. OPPO F5 was better than ZOPO, I sold it for ZP990 now I know is a bad choice I made.
I will look around a little more ( Chinese phones ) Do more research before I decide what to buy next.

I'm glad it helped. The antutu scores are subjective due to Android's nature of multitasking and background processes - it should be giving you an estimate to find how fast it really is instead of relying on it.
My THL T200 doesn't have this issue - so far everything is good, however there are no ROMs so far - the focus of the developers goes to T100 instead. If you ask me, you don't need a custom ROM, the OS is just a plain AOSP with minor framework adjustments.
The only issues I've found so far are the battery (doesn't last very long due to the huge screen) and the cheapass notification light that is more like 2 colours barely visible LED instead of a proper multicoloured LED.

i have been eyeing this phone here in the philippines because of its high-end specs.
anyone who can confirm the build? i really need a heavy duty phone in terms of build. since the phone is quite big, i am afraid it has a tendency to be bent when inside pants pocket.

Build quality is extremely good, especially if you use the plastic case it comes with.

Does this T200 comes with pre-applied screen protector and a flip case? The ZP 990 does.

Yes it does. At least the ones I bought from pandawill.

Antutu a little suspect at moment with some manufacturers modding their phones to give better results.

No flip case with mine but screen protector applied. There are good smart flip cases available

I thought it comes with a case if it's not a flip case. One of the ebay seller said that I don't know is the rest of them doing the same tho.

Oh yeah, my bad. It comes with a soft plastic case on the back. The smart flip cases are $11 in aliexpress.

HELP! Erased NVRAM

My NVRAM (?) partition is erased, so even after restoring the official ROM I found at NeedROM, there is no baseband information and no IMEIs.
Can anyone with a working phone send me what's necessary (nvram.bin?) so that I can reflash it?
The backup I took with MTKDroidTools (after the wipe), is full of zeroes.
Thanks in advance

Yeah, the one from needrom screws up your IMEI and baseband because it's for China only.
Can anyone share an original untouched factory ROM for backup purposes? Mine is way too modified.
You can always restore your IMEI using MTK Droid Tools as long as the baseband works fine.

hey guys does this phone come with all the google apps installed straight out of the box? also has anyone had chance to test the audio on this phone through decent headphones?

nitrobg · Mar 1, 2014

Yes, it does. Full unnecessary gapps, I've removed most of them.
The audio is fine, initially it was bit quiet but I followed this thread and now it's fine. It has its own audio enhancer plugin - BES Audio. It doesn't offer settings, but it improves the audio stream. I couldn't manage to get V4A to work, but perhaps it will with some tinkering.

Unless you find a proper software audio enhancer, the sound would be worse compared to Beats Audio. Remember that this is almost stock android with no plugins installed and Beats is a software enhancer.
The cheapest site will always be Pandawill or Aliexpress, however you might have to pay duty and VAT.

cheers mate do you know what kind of extra costs like duty would be getting it all the way to the uk

Perhaps something like 20-25% of the price written on the invoice. The Chinese tend to declare really low value so if you are lucky, you might be able to avoid paying these taxes altogether.

hry guys how does the dual sim work i only need one sim on the 3 network??

nitrobg · Mar 1, 2014

AFAIK, only the regular SIM has 3G available for use. The micro SIM is 2G only.
Don't take my word for granted, though - I use only one atm.
Otherwise the choice between the sim cards is really easy - if you open the Dialer/Messages/Contacts, you swipe down the notification bar and choose between SIM1, SIM2 or always ask.

robgee789 · Mar 2, 2014

How does the battery last on this phone? Is it a good idea to get a power bank do you think?

One sim works in 3g mode and the other one works in 2g mode but you can choose witch sim works in 3g mode, when you select to change this the mobile network went down and afetr a few seconds it comes up againg with the 3g swapped.
This can be done since the 6589, only in th old models you have to change the sim from one slot to other.
I have testd it on the t200 and in both sim it gets HSPA+
