Runbo X5

I also have an X5, which won't let me into the play store. On the odd occasion it will get to the home page, but then brings the message up saying "unfortunately Google play store has stopped"... I have tried a hard reset, resetting the cache, forcing the app to close and reinstalling it.
Non of which works. Please help it is driving me nuts! Thanx in advance Andie

I am still having this problem. No Google play. I have tried the manufacturer and got no reply. This is a great phone for my everyday work, but the backup is less than poor.....

no issues here

Hi,
I finally got my Runbo X5!
Mine was delivered with 4.0.4, and it runs smoothly, however, when I try the update feature I have the same "sim not registered to server" issue.

I used the "many ics root" method, it works on the runbo in normal mode. Just don' forget to disable usb storage mode (mine was in camera mode during the hack). Unfortunately, I don't have the rights to post in that forum to report it's working with this model... it would be nice if someone could report to Bin4ry.

Infos when booting in firmware:

Modem ver: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V5.P2, 2012/09/25 15:10
UBoot Ver. : 2010.06
Kernel ver: 3.0.13, compiled with gcc 4.4.3
Android ver 4.0.4
SW ver: A105_K508_RunboX5-W-EN_20130410_V2.3.5
Custom Build Verno. : 20130410.173452

Unfortunately, I havn't found any custom recovery to backup everything so far.

Found new roms for Runbo

Hello,

I just found a page full of official Runbo roms.
I didn't give it a try yet, but it might be a good resource for an interested dev.

Hello guys... I am struggling with my Runbo X5 unit.
I got it three days ago and I have big issue with its battery.

First: it charges SLOW. It is so slow if I am charging it when it is ON. In one hour the battery loads up of no more than 2% of charge.
And when it reaches 99% it stops charging. It actually did charge up to 100% but only once. After that, 99% and so slowly.

It is only me experiencing this?
Thanks!

Update. I was very pissed off this stuff and I tried reverting the firmware back to 201305. Battery went up to 100%.
Now I really want to see if it will be also LOAD fast - that is what really matters.

Hi folks,

did any of you get some custom rom running on the X5 yet? Currently thinking of getting one but would like to at least upgrade to latest available AOSP. From what I got back from Runbo support they don't have anything themselves.

Cheers!

Runbo x5 keep rebooting

Hi. not sure am putting this post in the right place ,am new to the site .
facing issues with a Runbo x5 phone i just receive less than a week.After watching a movie on the phone it got hot and restarted (reboot) it self but didn't came back up and running again.It just keep on rebooting
Than at a point i got image of the Android green man on his back with red flag on top
after this clicking around with buttons,i did a factory reset and it when back to just rebooting ,i later on try to update the phone from the computer using smart phone flash tool , update was good ,but only thing i saw happen different to the phone was some chinese writing , phone still keep on rebooting. Can you help plz. Thanks

I tried to get along with the Google translations for the Runbo website, but somehow this wasn't realy useful so I asked a colleague to translate it. She's not a very technical person, but at least it makes more sense than"Brush tutorial platform":

So, it sounds like the X5 is a big piece of crap at this point.


Overheats on a device rated for 60 degree C, slow performance considering specs and generally a bad user experience with many problems.


Dissapointing for me as my xperia Z just died due to overheat. Looking for a more hard wearing replacement.

CWM

How to instal CWM for Runbo x5???

Runbo x5,
Firmware 2.4.4 single SD
Root

Thank

Hey, the x5 isn't a piece of crap! Had mine for 5 months, no problems at all. Much faster than my previous phone, an HTC Titan which had a 1.5 gig processor. Get from 3 to 6 days on a charge, no need for an extended battery or case, tho I do use a screen protector. I'm really happy with ics, so don't know if it can be upgraded to later versions. When I watch a video it gets warm but never shuts down.
Just one tip, when phone has been on a full charge cycle, about 6 hours, I always do a soft reset to clear memory and cache , and I find this helps with battery life.[COLOR="S

Did you root it? Mine has always charged slow, but I noticed that after I rooted it it wouldn't charge past 99%.

I messed up and accidentally deleted my stock recovery. Can anybody give me a link or let me download yours please. Trying to install custom ROMs and instal CWM recover. And yes it's rooted. Thanks!
