How to install firmware for mts phones for all operators. How to install firmware for mts phones for all operators Applications and programs for mts 972

An almost perfect device for beginners to seriously master the world of Android. You can’t call it budget, but it’s unlikely to change in a couple of months. Today, this is a reasonable compromise, in a year I hope to see such smartphones in the line of budget devices.

Dots over "i"

Manufactured by Chinese company TST, one SIM card, regular size. Operating system Android Jelly Bean 4.1.1. Screen 4 inches with a resolution of 480 x 800, processor 1 GHz. The smartphone is locked to work in the MTS network. At a price of 4,490 rubles. This, in my opinion, is not quite the right solution. Yandex Market immediately issued six models with similar characteristics at a price of up to 4,000 rubles, so 4,490 for a device with a SIM-lock looks a little expensive. As some consolation, they give 1,500 bonus points upon purchase. However, the price tag is not carved on a granite slab, they can change it.

update. The price was also not without intrigue. I was already finishing this review and, choosing sample images, I came across a photo of the page of the August catalog “MTS World of Communications”, in which the future price of the device was 3,990 rubles. In the September catalog - already 4,490. Perhaps they thought about it and decided to add half a thousand to a reasonable price, it happens. I mean, thinking the other way is also not forbidden, let's follow the development of events.

Positioning

I would call such a smartphone a device entry level for those who actively use different functions and applications. Budget Androids with a lower resolution screen are upset by the “blurring” of fonts and image quality in general, it’s hard to look at such a screen for a long time. TFT display 4 inches with a resolution of 480 x 800 is not ideal, but such a screen is quite comfortable, and the eyes do not get tired of it.

The target audience- those who are looking for maximum functionality for minimum money, but at the same time, the display quality of budget models is not satisfactory. "Heavy" games on it are unlikely to run with acceptable quality, this must be borne in mind. The version with a white case looks more elegant, although the taste and color ... Unfortunately, there is no glamorous pink version, lovers of this color will have to take the MTS 970 smartphone.

Equipment

Absolutely standard set: wired hands free headset, charger with USB socket, connecting USB cable– microUSB, User manual, warranty card. Nice red box. The charger for the maximum current of 550 mA does not please, the device is charged from it for more than three hours. However, we already have a lot of chargers for microUSB, it will soon be possible to sell smartphones without them, and offer it to those in need of charging for an additional 150-200 rubles.

On the charger Alcatel is indicated as the manufacturer, which indirectly hints at the origin of the device. Outwardly and in terms of its characteristics, the MTS 972 is very similar to the Alcatel OneTouch M "Pop 5020D for two SIM cards. I did not hold this Alcatel in my hands, so I will not say anything.

Card included microSD memory 2 GB capacity, the card is already installed in the machine. Eldar once wrote something like “I don’t understand who can buy cards of such a capacity now?”, But here I don’t agree with him. For those who do not watch videos, this capacity is enough, and the fact that the card is included in the kit is pleasant. It would be even nicer if they gave a 4 or 8 GB card instead of another charger, but okay.

On the protective film- advertising option " Super BIT", brilliant solution! An up-to-date and timely reminder that the smartphone is eating Data-traffic and connecting the unlimited option is highly recommended. Such text on the film is certainly more useful than the traditional message about what a wonderful smartphone you managed to get.

Another subtlety is the warning inscription: “Attention! The device you have purchased works only with SIM-cards of OJSC Mobile TeleSystems, purchased on the territory Russian Federation". A couple of times I encountered bewilderment about the fact that MTS devices purchased in Ukraine do not work in the MTS-Russia network and vice versa.

Design

It is easy to write about something that practically does not exist. An ordinary bar without design frills and features. Neutral shape, fits well in the hand, the weight of 136 grams does not feel excessive. Perhaps a little too big for a woman's hand.

Attention is attracted by an unusual bevel and a sharp edge of the lower part of the case, although I have already seen this on some device, I don’t remember. I can assume that such a pointed bottom was invented to facilitate stuffing the phone into a cramped pocket. There is nothing more interesting, and it would be difficult to expect something outstanding in the appearance of an inexpensive device.

The camera is 5 MP, next to it is a speaker, a microphone is higher. There is no flash. The camera without autofocus, but protrudes a fraction of a millimeter above the level of the back cover. Although such a module would certainly not be difficult to place flush. There is a suspicion that a slightly protruding camera lens forms the necessary clearance for the speaker, which now does not overlap with a smartphone lying on a flat surface. Rationally.

Design

There are no backlashes, deflections of the back cover and no squeaks, the device is assembled well and tightly. The back cover is made of plastic with a rough surface of the soft touch type, it does not slip out of the hands. The speaker is covered with a neat fine mesh.

On the top end there is a multifunctional power button and a 3.5 mm headphone / headset jack. The buttons protrude from the body just right: they do not stick out, but they are easy to find by touch. The button travel is short and crisp, which is fine.

The microUSB jack was placed on the side, at the bottom there is only a barely noticeable microphone hole, strongly shifted to the left. Focused on those holding the phone in their right hand, but not at all critical, the audibility is normal in both positions. Subjectively, I like the microUSB socket at the bottom more, it is more convenient to talk if the call caught the phone on charge.

The buttons are made of shiny plastic “chrome-like”, but thin and neat, do not irritate. A standard, slightly protruding bezel that protects the screen of a phone placed face down on a table from scratches.

Dimensions and proportions are standard for devices with a 4-inch screen, no more and no less than usual.

The battery is 1,400 mAh, the capacity is small for a screen of this size, and the smartphone lives on a 3G network for only one full day of active use. Declared 13.5 (according to other sources, 9.1) hours of talk time and two and a half weeks of standby time, these are theoretical maximums in ideal conditions and not for our networks. The battery, by the way, is also marked with Alcatel.

System information according to AnTuTu Benchmark

Performance

The speed and responsiveness of the smartphone did not please, the device noticeably slows down. Specially checked: almost the same smartphone (similar screen and processor), released more than a year ago on Android 2.3.6, just works many times faster with the same applications. Older versions of Android were clearly less demanding on hardware.

In practice, the "thoughtfulness" of the device manifests itself in pauses (on some applications up to 3-4 s) before working out pressing the button and, which is unpleasant, in a second delay in drawing text in the browser window when scaling it.

Display and backlight/indication

At a resolution of 480 x 800, the pixel density is 240 dpi, you are unlikely to be able to see the graininess. High quality capacitive TFT screen with pure colors, normal white balance without "cyanosis". For a device of this price level, the display turned out to be very successful: maps, Web, text blocks look good and are read without strain.

With horizontal viewing angles, everything is fine, with a significant vertical tilt, the colors are distorted up to inversion. But in general, not bad, and certainly better than budget 3.5-inch displays.

In the sun, the screen fades and is unreadable. Rescues the manually set maximum brightness mode. There is an ambient light sensor, and auto-brightness works fine with a minimum reaction time, but in the "Auto" mode it does not reach the maximum brightness level. But in low light, it effectively "crushes" the display brightness to a comfortable minimum, in our conditions this is a much more frequent scenario than the bright sun.

There is a backlight of the touch buttons, but it turns on only for 5 seconds after touching the active zone of the buttons or the screen. The light sensor in the backlight control of the buttons is not involved, sorry.

There is a separate event indicator, it is a small but bright LED of almost white (light blue) color. Notifies about the occurrence of an event (an incoming message, low battery, etc.) by blinking, some applications allow you to adjust the blinking frequency to indicate your events. A multi-colored LED is more practical, but better than complete absence indications.

Sound

The multimedia speaker is one (mono), quite vociferous and does not choke at maximum volume. Low frequencies, as you understand, are practically not tapped. The usual telephone "beeper", suitable for watching videos on YouTube.

Data transfer

Personally, I was most pleased with the quick and clear switching between points WiFi access and cellular network. Transitions in both directions are worked out without pauses and freezes, failures to "catch" on cellular network after losing wifi signal never seen it either.

The sensitivity of the 3G module is unimportant, I would not count on the operation of a smartphone in a 3G network in conditions of a weak signal. Maybe the device is just configured that way. There are no complaints in the zone of decent 3G coverage, everything works well and stably.

The Wi-Fi module works well, the sensitivity is above average. Data is received with minimal intermediate losses. Above is an example of a speedtest in the Yota network, where maximum speed downlink is limited to 20 Mbps.

At the same time, the device reminded of the insidiousness of the default settings, by default, the Wi-Fi module is turned off when you switch to standby mode and turn off the display. Found “missing” ~ 3MB in the morning cellular traffic overnight with live Wi-Fi and became interested in the phenomenon. I don’t know who was having fun inside the device (all synchronization and auto-updates were turned off), but it’s wiser to set the “do not turn off Wi-Fi” mode. Mobile traffic it will be more whole, and the battery will be consumed less.

Another curious crossword found in the data transfer settings menu. Due to my technical illiteracy, I assumed that the mysterious “allow data transfer at full speed” is somehow related to the interface that provides interruption of data transfer in EDGE / GPRS networks when a voice call arrives. Below is a detailed explanation of the expert:

"Interface that connects MSC and SGSN and allows data to be interrupted in a 2G network when incoming call, is called Gs. But the phone can't control whether the Gs interface is turned on or off.

As for the mysterious option, I assume it means that the phone, with the consent of the user, during an active data transfer, may refuse to interrupt this data transfer for the time necessary to listen to the paging channel on which incoming voice call. That is, "pretend to be" a class "C" mobile terminal, which is only capable of working with data.

This can really slightly speed up data transfer if the phone is assigned a traffic channel on a different frequency channel than the main one. service information(BCCH, PCH, etc.), but on an additional frequency. There, the phone can get timeslots for packet data that coincide with the PCH (Paging Channel), which will force the phone to choose what to do. In normal mode, the phone will have to warn the BS that it will not be able to receive data for a while. This is a normal situation, because sometimes the mobile terminal needs time to process data, and the BS will wait for a request to continue transmitting data to this phone. At this time, the phone should switch to another frequency to listen for PCH, then return to the previous frequency where it received packet data, and ask the BS to continue transmitting.

A similar problem occurs with cheap dual-sim phones, which usually have only one set of transceivers. In such devices, the phone must ask the BS to interrupt the delivery of packet data in order to use the same transceiver to listen to information on the channel that serves the second SIM card. Usually such single transceiver dual SIM phones show significantly different download speeds depending on whether the second SIM card is working in the phone or not. If the second SIM card works, then the speeds can be noticeably lower. If there is such a phone, try to compare yourself, it will be interesting!

Moreover, the degree of speed reduction also depends on the attendant. network equipment. The scheduler program on the network can reduce the priority of servicing such a phone, which is constantly "distracted" by extraneous matters and asks to interrupt the delivery of data.

In other words, when this option is enabled, in some cases, a slight acceleration in data transfer over 2G networks can be obtained. But in exchange for the risk of missing an incoming voice call. I doubt it's worth it. But the clarification about devices with two (and there are three or four!) Active SIM-cards should be taken into account.

Camera

There are two cameras: the main 5 MP and the front 0.3 MP, there is no flash. Feelings are ambivalent. On the one hand, a frankly weak main camera without autofocus, what else can I write about? On the other hand, the camera turned out to have very good working software, so there is still something to write about.

Close-ups, including faces, work well. But a little further away (grass in the background) everything is already blurry and there are no details.

You can forget about shooting any small things, the pictures will be blurry by definition. The cost of not having autofocus.

Trying to take pictures of documents is also impractical. The announcement on the entrance door is not bad, the text on the A4 sheet is already quite sad.

Now the promised positive. The camera software performs surprisingly well with exposure and color balance in a wide variety of lighting conditions. In the bright sun, on a cloudy day, in the evening and under artificial lighting, the pictures are the same, average scall, but quite sane. Not for a photo album, but for “posting a photo on Twi” is good. The main thing is not to delve into the settings and scripts, it's valuable.

Even under extreme conditions, shooting in near-darkness with default settings the result is not disappointing.

Software

Installed any branded software - for every taste. GOODOK (where would we go without it?), “RED Box”, “MTS TV”, “Easy Payment”, “Oh-MTS reader” and even “Now we sing MTS” (yes, yes, yes, I’ll have a bite with MegaFon). "MTS Service", by the way, is very useful tool for service management. And the sea is spilled all sorts of different software, including Antivirus (it seems to be paid). With all this economy you need to deal with separately.

What is extremely pleasant, it is not forbidden to understand. Judging by the application manager, most of this pre-installed software wealth can be removed. With the exception of branded Google Apps Naturally, but still unexpected joy.

Summary

I can’t say that I really fell in love with this MTS 972, but the device for its original price of 3,990 rubles. not bad. With 4,490 they went a little too far, but even an impulsive purchase for this money is unlikely to greatly upset the owner. Of the potentially significant shortcomings - some thoughtfulness, lack of autofocus and weak hardware for "heavy" games. But there are more benefits.

At such a price, I did not initially expect any feats from him, the battery is average, it’s enough for a non-chatty person, an android is like an android, it’s also not surprising. BUT! The antenna is cut down regularly, and externally it is NOT displayed on the phone in any way, just at a certain moment the phone stops receiving calls, sms in general, everything ... only wi-fi. And you'll never know about it until you start calling to no avail. The reboot puts everything in its place, but how many important calls are lost, and nerves. Also, the SD card is installed inside the case and at the same time it also manages to turn off regularly and again without any symptoms.

For those who have just become a beginner or are not an expert in the vast world of Android and are not particularly familiar with the concept of how - root android , and also why it is needed, what can be done after obtaining Root rights or how to get rid of them if they are no longer needed, all this can be found in the detailed article -!

Primarily!

There are no "left" links or unnecessary actions in this article! If you really need Root Rights, then read carefully and follow step by step, this is a guarantee that you will do everything right! This article on getting Root rights is divided into two parts: The first part is Required Components and conditions, the second part is Instruction how to get root rights using the received files and programs. If, in the process of obtaining root rights, Android constantly reboots or in the process of eternal loading (it happens extremely rarely, but still), then it’s worth it. Now let's start getting Root rights!

Android manufacturers sometimes release new firmware, on which it is impossible to get Root in one of the proposed ways, if the article has more alternative ways, try them. Doesn't work anyway? Specify android version and the firmware version in the comments (do not write malicious shitty comments, you will not put this on yourself or others). Android freezes (does not load), read and re-read from the very FIRST PARAGRAPH, all the necessary links are present in the article!

Do you have any questions?
