Do an upgrade of the firmware will provide the correct google play.

However, the GPS cannot be use with application, and it itself is difficult to use.

Thanks.

Finally.

Over the weekend, I manage to do the firmware upgrade, after a few tries.

For those who have the same problem as me,
the procedure should be :

1. Insert the memory card with the firmware.
2. Make sure the phone is power off.
3. Press the “-” volume button and hold onto it. Then together with the power button.
4. Wait for 3 seconds.
5. Then release only the power button.
6. The phone will start to boot up with yellow words for updating.
7. You can then release the “-” volumn button, when it starts to update.

After that, you will be able to access play google market like any branded handphone.

Now, I have to figure a way to fix the memory slot, the memory card keep jumping out.
I may have to open it.

Hi.

To update the firmware, you need to press the volume “-” key and power button simultaneously, and wait 3 second.
Before you do that, is the device switched ON or OFF, then do the above ?

Thank You.

Hi.

I am currently using it.

I am having some problem with it.

So far the problems I have encountered, some are solved, and some are not.

1. Battery charge full very fast, but drain also fast.
2. Memory card, now keep jumping out.
3. Screen with a spot. That one solved as it had 2 layer of plastic screen cover.
4. It save copy of SMS into SIM card, and then indicate SIM full.
5. I encounter blank screen, often. It may be due to the Android programs that I install, as originally it did not have this problem. My other handset which is not Super 8 E1 also encounter this problem.

I do admit the screen is good, and also play very good video.

The size is same as note 8. But buttons and connection points are not the same, and it is thicker. Which means it will not be able to fit in note cover cases. However, I bought the note 8 rubber case without any covering, and then cut away certain areas to uncover the speakers, buttons, mic, and connection points. That works well.

It uses the newer Note 3 USB 3.0 cable.

The power adaptor connector is not standard phone connector.
It is round.

I will try to replace the firmware next month, when I have time.
