Best DUAL SIM android phone?

It doesn't go into the recovery mode.
When I try to do this the phone starts up with the following note on the display:
Emergency mode!!

then the phone is stuck.
Only removing the battery will unlock the phone from this condition.
 
Then your recovery is not working/not installed

Here I've uploaded the recovery and the etotalk.apk needed to install it

Download u960 recovery.7z

to root the phone (if is still unrooteed) I used

DooMLoRD_v1_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su

Just google for it, it works with just one click and one phone reboot.

P.S. the zip file name is u780 and not u960 (my bad, I'm in hurry)

Can you post any reviews when you successfully install this rom? Thanks :)

The rom doesent fix the 128K SIM problem.

Btw this very file comes w/o the boot image or any other partition's image, just the system.

It is already rooted and has some variations on the color scheme, which similar to the motorola one using shades of gray instead of black and white for menus and UI elements..

The top bar is modded to show the battery percentage and has different icons for signal strength indication.

It has an additiona dialer and some sw preinstalled, it has also a "WCDMA unlock" menu, meant for chinese users.

So no big changes V.S. the b08 rom. And no definite answer to my problem, I need a clean full rom to see if something is really changed, not just an updated system.
 
Greeting everyone!
I've ordered ZTE U960 and now just waiting when it will be delivered to me 8).
Can someone upload 2 or 3 min video review of this phone. Maybe how it looks like in hands, system loading and more.
Almost forgot to ask - what picture quality does U960 camera make? Any examples?

Nice!
Thanks for that.

Can you please make a video how it looks like in hands and view from all sides?

I dont have any decent video camera, and at the moment I'm fighting to see if I can solve the vodafone sim problem, so I have little time to make a decent video.

BTW it's a 4.3 inch phone its beavior in the hand not really different than any 4.3 inch well known device, say the samsung galaxy SII
 
Finally found video with unboxing process
ZTE U960 - YouTube

Now I see that was f*cked up by etotalk. 2nd battery and desk charger should be already in the box. Etotalk is asking for additional money. Bastards! 8)

Really hope that my phone is in ideal condition.

Still the ZTE U960 seems good overall imo. Hope can see more reviews
and videos on this phone. Most likely my next buy in the coming months :D

Hi all dualsim maniacs! After one day using:

+ it really fits in hand, fabrication is excellent
+ metal front side is decent
+ display is very well responsive and accurate (in comparison with FET T8888)
+ faster CPU makes environment really quick
+ no problem with google apps, google market, all are in english
+ quick recharge with charger
+ really good battery life and device consumption (4174 mV by now and still growing) - more in detail, my first recharge yesterday after opening box and using for 4 hours before recharge, wifi switched all day (cca from 4 PM when fully first time recharged), and 3g switched on during night, I was at 30% at 10AM next day
+ no problem with internet connection vanishing when wifi is on and phone is in sleeping mode
+ fast and accurate GPS
+ nice pictures from camera (FET T8888 is also good in that)

- FET users may be little disappointed with lower resolution and display clarity, it is other league :), but i found myself to be different end user group, FET T8888 display is awesome!!
- pitty i do not have czech environment in android
- slower recharge with pc usb (but it is common problem with computers :))
- quite small power button for my fingers, but when I use thumb then it is OK :)

Overall, it is a very good phone for me, in comparison with FET T8888, it is much more smoother handling with it. I will keep you informed.

Take care!

Update:

+ radio is good
+ good sound quality (3,5 mm jack)
+ good loud speaker quality
+ good speaker quality

Thank you very much polvo. Pleased to hear the + feedback. Please confirm the question from hidefault123.

It seems XT532 and U960 are two reasonable options - till Galaxy Y duo is launched. I am not too keen on U960 as it is too big for me and though am used to HTC Desire screen, I can live with 3.5" of XT532.

I am all the more inclined to buy XT532 now. Feedback from others would be great!

Thank you once again polvo!!

Galaxy Y is inferior to XT532 which is , in turn, way inferior to the ZTE terminal.

Why wait for it ?

The galaxy Y PRO at least has the keyboard, which is a great thing, but the plain one is not worth.

This is a full dual radio phone, not a cheap mtk based oone.

No problem receiving two call at the same time, no problem receiving a call during the data transfer.

According to previous posts the XT532 is a dual standby phone, while making a call with one sim the other sim looses connection (the big cross).
I was excited about the ZTE U960 because it was the first dual "active" dual sim 3G smartphone I encountered...

Sorry I thought you was speaking about the ZTE, then I corrected quickly my message.

Unfortunately not quickly enough.

BTW, as far as I know, only the dual standby based on the MTK CPUs are affected by that annoying problem.

I asked to some XT532 owners to confirm that the SIM 2 is available during the data transfer over SIM1, before buying the ZTE, but no one replied to my question.
