Hi folks,
Xolo Q700 seems to be an amazing machine. In this thread, I'm trying to put across some of the problems I faced and solutions I found. Probably, this can be useful to some of us as well.
ISSUE #1 - GPS DOES NOT WORK
PROBLEM: Xolo Q700 would not use GPS Satellite to find location, only use mobile towers to triangulate.
TESTING THE PROBLEM: Install GPS Test app from Google Play, turn on GPS, and hold the phone under open sky for couple minutes.
TEST RESULT: GPS Test shows some satellite "in view" but none "in use".
SOLUTION:
Go to Settings>Location Access, and then turn on the following:
Access to my location - Check (turn on)
GPS Satellites - On
Wi-Fi & mobile network location - Check (turn on)
Tap on GPS Satellites and enable the following:
GPS EPO assistance - Check (turn on)
A-GPS - Check (turn on)
Tap on GPS EPO assistance and enable the following:
Auto Download - Check (turn on)
TESTING THE SOLUTION:
1. Install GPS Test app from Google Play, turn on GPS, and hold the phone under open sky for couple minutes.
RESULT: GPS Test shows some satellite "in view" as well as "in use".
2. Open maps and browse so that it caches some maps files. Now, put phone in Airplane mode and reboot. Start maps again and see if it shows the right location.
RESULT: Location is pointed without sim connection. So, phone can be used as a GPS device as well without sim.
ISSUE #1 - LOW AUDIO
PROBLEM: Volume for ring, call, and speakers is quite low and often not audible in noisy places.
SOLUTION:
1. Enter Engineering Mode - Dial *#*#3646633#*#*
2. Go to Hardware Testing>Audio>Normal Mode.
3. Select "Sph" in type.
4. Select "level 6" in Level.
5. Enter 160 in value.
6. Press Set.
7. Restart the phone.
If you want to increase your volume in all level then choose "level 0" in level and enter 160 in value.
Some more tricks are given in the following link for zopo phones but would work for Q700 -
I am not sure whether this actually works as I cannot find any perceptible change in volume. Is others can try and give some opinion and settings that work, it would be helpful.
