Firefox OS Support Forum

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.

I just got my zte touch phone and I went to take some pictures with it and it asked if I wanted them to be saved in the photos place or the gallery and I accidentally pressed photos and I wanted them to go to the gallery instead so how can I fix this?

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.

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

Hello,

Not-quite-happy user of ZTE Open C here. This happened as follows: I've downloaded the rooted firmware from comebuy.com. The main reason was to install Russian keyboard, which I managed to do by building and flashing Gaia. The Gaia was from v1.4 branch, and some apps didn't work properly (camera & keyboard, in particular). Then I did the fatal mistake, it seems - instead of returning to v1.3 I decided to build & flash Gecko from v1.4. Almost everything worked fine except that I hit some bug where SIM card wasn't working at the start but switching airplane mode on&off fixed the situation. However, after a reboot, the screen just turned off right after showing the splash image of the fox. At that point, the system still booted into normal mode, so I tried to recompile Gaia again and flash it onto the device. And then only the recovery mode became available =\

Then I tried various things, and the current state is:

• recovery & bootloader modes work
• updates can't be applied, failing with 'E: signature verification failed' for both rooted and official firmware
• fastboot flash doesn't work, printing the message "FAILED (remote: flash write failure)" every time
• adb shell doesn't work - first it was barking about the wrong permissions (- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed permission denied (13)), by now I have erased the /system partition altogether using fastboot because adb push printed an error about no space left on device, and I thought maybe erasing some partitions will help (that was way too naive, I must admit...)

Now I wish to return to the original firmware, either from ZTE website or comebuy.com. The most adequate way seems to be applying an update from recovery mode, but the verification failure has to be circumvented somehow.

Any thoughts?

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?

Hi

I bought a ZTE Open C, and unfortunately it frequently reboots when I answer or initiate a call. After the reboot it usually lets me retry the call succesfully, but it is very disruptive for answering calls

I have colleagues with the same issue who got the ZTE Open C at the same time as me. We work in a position where we take a lot of calls on our mobiles and we cannot see who calls (routed through a PBX) and so we cannot call back and it is very bad for customers :-/

I was wondering if there is an update to the dialer app, or if someone knows how I can maybe flash the phone to 1.4 FFOS or 2.0 or something ?

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?

This morning I discovered huge amount of traffic consumed by FF OS (leading to about 300 euro loss). Update history shows that the phone updated itself this night, and 3G was turned on.

WTF? I thought after checking for updates the phone should notify the user first, so that they can turn Wi-FI on. Is this not the case?
