Firefox OS Support Forum

I have Firefos OS 1.0.1.0-01003 and I have seen that Firefox 1.1 has been released, I try to check for updates and it says that my system is up to date. I read somewhere that rebooting the phone solves it but that didn't work.

Why my system doesn't detect the update? Do I have to call my service provider or manufacturer about that?

hello

i have a ZTE Open C, Firefox OS

with an Orange SIM card that works well in phone call and SMS

i added an account in the Mail app

the list of received mail appears OK

when i want to load a mail it takes anything from 10 minutes to above one hour

sending one it took 12 hours without success lat night

i guess this bhahvior is not normal, what can be done

this is the situation with Wifi

using Data with the cellular network is just simply impossible, words like Port Mandataire HTTP, Hote Mandataire HTTP et Autentification (in the french GUI) seems to be almost unknown on the web

thanks

I waited patiently for the OS update hoping it would solve my email problem. It doesn't.

Here's the setup:

I have an IMAP account with SSL from my hosting company. I manually entered the account information. The phone happily accepts that information. The account is added. The inbox shows up with the correct messages. Then the problem starts:

1. I tap on a message. 2. A new window opens and displays the header information 3. Instead of the body of the message, I only see the progress loop going on forever.

Here's what I've done so far:

1. Soft reset 2. Hard reset. 3. Install OS V 1.1 4. Check with my hosting company, they were very courteous and checked my email account. Nothing was wrong there and I can get my mail with my computer and iPad.

What's going on? Am I the only one having this problem?

I've been using ZTE Open for months now but i have a problem. It hangs most of the times. First of all i thought it was an early build(1.0) so i installed 1.1(stable), 1.2, 1.3 and running 1.4 now but the problem is same. It hangs! and when it does i have to lock the phone and wait for sometime to unlock it or just direct remove the battery(sometimes it doesn't solve the problem but sometimes it does). I can't now know for sure that will i be able to receive my incoming call or not? It just freezes most of the times. Tried so many things like clearing cache installing different ROMs(1.2, 1.3) etc but same problem Anyone having the same problem?

Any suggestions?

I have a ZTE Open C running Firefox OS 1.3. I like the version 1.4 found at

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/labs/fxos-simulator

How can I update to this version?

I got the download for the official 1.1 update from ZTE. I have followed the instructions, but when the phone rebooted it goes to a blank screen after playing the firefox boot animation. I let it sit there for about 10 min and it wouldn't respond. Finally had to pull the battery.

I tried the md5 check, and I get the following error:

Finding file_list package... Opening file_list package... Verifying file_list package... E:failed to open /system/etc/verify.zip (No such file or directory) E:signature verification failed

I tried to reinstall the update and got this:

-- Install /sdcard... Finding update package... Opening update package... Verifying update package... E:failed to verify whole-file signature E:signature verification failed Installation aborted.

Is there a way to restore my phone? I've been searching the internet and I keep getting linked back to the ZTE Open site, but the old images seem to have been removed.

Right now, when I boot the phone I get the FireFox OS logo, then the fox animation, then I get a quick bright flash of white before the screen goes out.

If anyone could help me, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I have version 1.0.1 and I want to upgrade. The reason I haven't done it yet is because I recently bought the phone second hand. But I am unable to update it and what happens is the circular icon indicating that something is happening shows up, then disappears and there is no message about updating. If I cannot upgrade it, is there some other way to upgrade the browser because I cannot use it properly at the moment. Thanks

My mom, without knowing I'm anti-google *don't let my opinions influence any of these answers please*, bought me a Samsung Galaxy Discover with Ice Cream Sandwich.

Samsung Galaxy Discover is not on this list though. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/will-firefox-work-my-mobile-device

My main question is will it ever be? And can I attempt an installation anyways? Or is it absolutely unheard of for a device not on here to support Firefox OS? Because in the end, it's still Ice Cream Sandwich. The only reason it might not work is because Discovers are moderately cheap phones.

Update: I've realized I put this under marketplace. I'm new to forums and I don't know how or if I can change that tag. Don't hate me please :(

I'm looking for a SSH Client for Firefox OS (1.3).

For a "normal" version of the firefox browser a FireSSH Add-on is available, but unfortunately it can't be installed in the mobile version.

Phone zte open c. Firefoz os 1.3 Procedure error: 1. Insert sim card 2. Power on phone 3. The phone is not used for 1-5 minutes. The screen does not light up. 4. To wake the phone, push the button Power. Phone does not respond. 5. I have to remove the battery to become operational again. 6. As I leave the phone without the use of, the situation repeats itself.

Phone: Geeksphone peak. Developers Preview. The screen vibrates when touched but no response is received. An orange box, I assume, a background worker of some sort appears on the screen. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

I seem to have lost my mobile data (3g, 2g, Edge) since upgrading to OS 1.1, I am in UK and I assume that in the topbar of the screen (next to my cell signal and the time, I should have either a 2g or an E or H there, I have none, however when I open the notification by swiping down, I do see a 2g or H or whatever there, highlighted in blue?? I have checked my data provider settings and these are correct. Is this a known issue or is it just me!!??

Hardware: ZTE Open C with Firefox OS 1.3.

Could it be a problem with the Hardware, or is something wrong within the settings?

thank you very much thomas

Hi! I Install rooted firmware here: http://en.comebuy.com/developer-firefox-os-open-c.html. The main reason was to install Russian keyboard. Then I compiled and installed Gaia 1.3 with Russian keyboard. All Correct.

I learned that the new official firmware from ZTE already includes Russian keyboard. And I wanted to try it. However, I get an error when trying to flash the phone using sd card or Open_C_upgrade_Tool. Error is "E:failed to verify whole-file signature E:signature verification failed Installation aborted"

How i may restore default firmware?

I have zte 1.1 update installed and I have the NandDL.firefox .exe tool and the 1.2.7z file. I extracted the file, applied it to the NandDL tool, and can see the handset on port (com10) but cannot get a start indication to flash. I have debugging and usb enabled. I have factory reset device. I have fastboot. I have checked all highlighted radial dials on NandDL tool. I also tried loading the 1.2.7z file with sd card. does not work. I have updated drivers, and android sdk fastboot installed with no luck. any suggestions please

I've tried to install firefox os on my zte a21plus. But got stuck. I repeated all the process but I've got the same error. So is it still possible to install firefox os on my phone?

My phone is using lots of data even at night when I'm asleep. My usage report says I have only used 167mb but AT&T says I have used almost 3gb. So I turned off the data on the phone and it stopped. My next test is the mail app. I have noticed when it checks for my mail at gmail it hangs and just keeps on spinning. I have to reboot the phone to get it to stop. So maybe the mail app is chewing through my data when it gets hung up.. Any ideas?? I love the phone just wish it would not use 30mb an hour.

Thanks for your help.

It does not seem possible to specify custom netwirk parameters like DNS server. It seems someone else already asked this question but it was misunderstood and i can't reply to it.

I have a ZTE Open C, with Firefox OS 1.3.0. When I lock the screen it seems that after a while system turns off wifi connection... i notice that because i do not receive messages with OpenWapp (WhatsApp client).

When i unlock the screen, in the notification area appear the wifi icon blinkng (like when it tries to connect to an access point) and then i suddently receive hundreds of messages from OpenWapp.

Could you explain me why?

Thx in advance!
