[FAQ] How to use Android on M8 : tips, problems & other questions ...

btw, my m8 version is se.
1,can't shut down---can't save any setting---include some software.
now question is how to save thoes setting?

Sorry if this sounds rude but:
This is beta beta alpha beta (as many as you want) we are right now two developers and this thing is mainly to play around and get further with.
If you find something which annoys you, you are kindly invited to help in development.
It wont get any faster if anyone here reports any problem on android, because tehre thousands of problems right now.

My focus isnt event on android, i try to get hardware runing on the linux base, and i think lang2 has better things to do.


I would say create a page in the wiki with known bugs and report them there. With every detail, so anyone can try to fix them if there is spare time.
maybe with a link here but "how can i..." will mostly not help anyone.

PS power button nevers worked right now. But someone could do a goggle research on this.

about system language...game...

I can shun down the Android, but the sitting wont be save too.

Push the power button about 3s , select -- power off -- ok , then wait a few minutes until the screen closed ( dont mind stripes on the screen ).

Since we're on the subject... My power button works (M8SE 8GB December 2009), but touchscreen still isn't working. I'm trying to switch drivers in the linux kernel but no success yet.

Let´s hope you can get it to work, would be nice.

All this shows that meizu better develop firmware for just 1 device instead of covering it all in once.

hello i am new here, i have a problem with my meizu m8 because i tried to install android and when i install xip.bin not start. in this moment i cann´t to put the other xip because the meizu not read the disk. what i can to do?
Thanks

Hi Tuskany
please try to enter the upgrade mode (hold power and volume up while the M8 starts)
then when updrade mode has started connect your USB cable.
The M8 should now be recognized as a Flash disk and you can put the new xip.bin there.
Now you can upgrade to a normal firmware.

J. Wong has indicated M8 can run Andriod in the near future, look in the.

This is probably due to a difference in android firmware, not in M8.
You should check which version you used when everything 'worked fine'.

try and look on bbs.meizu.com or m8fans, I am sure you will find a driver there.
