Notifications panel doesn't open on ZTE Open version B2G 1.3.0.0-prerelease

My Notification panel isn't opening. I'm running the latest version of FFOS, I updated today. A previous version of a few days ago had the same problem. The original version I got with the phone, I think it was v1.1 didn't have this problem. So is there any way I can fix the problem00?
Thanks!

@linuxholic: I flashed it by cloning and setting up the whole FFOS Repo. You have to then build the FFOS version you want. And then you have to flash it to your phone using ADB (Android Debug Bridge). I did all this on Ubuntu and advise you to do it on any Linux OS...
Read through this guide: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/ZTE_OPEN
And then follow the instructions on cloning, setting up building and flashing FFOS here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Building_and_installing_Firefox_OS
Note: There's a small issue with ZTE Open that it doesn't correctly configure the bootloader on default builds. So it's mentioned on the page (first link) how to avoid this. You need to add a boot.img image to your build before flashing it. This is the page they link to: http://sl.edujose.org/2013/10/adapted-boot-image-for-use-with-b2g.html

How can I uninstall firefox when the add/remove programs in control panel doesn't work, nor does opening it in the run command?

I tried to uninstall firefox using the control panel, add/remove programs. When I click on remove it does nothing. Then I tried using run, firefox, uninstall, helper and this does nothing either. Is there another way to remove it or repair it? I am using windows xp not 2000.

For details of how to manually remove Firefox see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox - it gives details of the folders you need to delete.
What is your problem with Firefox, re-installing Firefox does not normally fix problems.

ZTE Open C doesn't have root access after running unlock tool

I've ordered a ZTE Open C from Ebay from UK, and I wanted to unlock the bootloader.
I followed the instructions from here (http://en.comebuy.com/developer-firefox-os-open-c.html), installed the EU version (I've ordered the phone from Hungary), but if I boot into recovery mode, I still see that the recovery version is 0B04, however it should be 0B06, and the phone isn't rooted due to this (adb shell getprop ro.secure) command (it's said 0, and as far as I know, it means it doesn't rooted).
I want to use android on the device, but now, I even can't install neither the kitkat nor the firefox rom (it said verifivation error) Could you help me how to install Kitkat on device with gapps?

Hi Lukibeni,
I understand that you tried to update your ZTE Open C from Ebay using the image provided on the Comebuy page, but that the update appears to have been unsuccessful.
I would suggest attempting to download your image again, and go through the update process one more time.
If the issue persists, you will need to contact ZTE for additional support. ZTE is the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) who created the device-specific build and update tools.
Please let us know if the update process works the second time around.
Thanks,

The program selected for NZB files doesn't show in the open with/download dialog box even though it is the default in Options window - Applications panel

Grabbit is listed as the default program for opening NZB files in the Applications panel. When I try to open an NZB file it is not automatically selected, nor is it on the list of optional programs. Consequently, I have to click through the list of installed programs in Windows and point Firefox to grabbit.exe.
Although the file is listed as Grabbit NZB in the Applications panel rather than just "NZB", I didn't have a bit of a problem when I had XP installed.

1) Well, I can set IE as the default program for html/htm files, as well as any other browsers/text editors. There is no issue in setting the default program for html/htm files. This issue is- htm/html files can't be opened when I click on 'open' option
(like temporary internet files get opened) just to view the files in IE when I set IE as default program for htm/html files. Please note that this issue is only when I click 'open' just to view the file. If I download and save the file, the file opens
in IE perfectly when IE is set as default program.
2) Regarding clicking 'open' button:- I want that if default program for opening htm/html files is set as IE, when I click the open button, the file should get opened in IE (as temporary internet files open). This is not happening when I set IE as default
program for htm/html files.
3) Files do get opened when I click 'open' button in IE, but ONLY WHEN default program is some other browser/text editor. And yes they get opened in the browser/text editor which is THEN set as default program.
4)Yes, I've tried turning protected mode off, lower the security level, set custom level to medium/medium-low but no benefit as such.
5) If I download/save the file, and then open the file, with default program set as IE, the files get opened successfully. I think the issue is that IE is not opening htm/html files as temporary internet files (when user just tries to view/open the
attachment rather than download/save it) when default program is set as IE itself. Is this expected behavior?

Mail notification doesn't go away after opening mail

In the Mail app, after opening an email and going back to the Inbox folder, the "unread" notification is still there, I have to open the email again to make it go away.
Is anybody else experiencing this too?
Is this a bug?
Thanks

No not a bug, I only experience this with my Yahoo account. Most of the time its due to my wifi or cellular data connection.
But I also believe it is due to the yahoo email account.

How to connect ZTE Open C with Firefox OS 1.3 to a calDAV server of Synology DSM 5.1?

Hi,
I am running Firefox OS 1.3 on a ZTE Open C. I am trying to connect the calendar of the phone to a calDAV server of a NAS of Synology running DSM 5.1 (newest release).
I go into the calendar app of the phone and configure the calDAV account:
username: testuser
password: *******
URL: https://192.168.1.251:5006/testcalendar
The calendar does not connect and the error message the phone shows is:
wrong login and/or password
Some background information:
1. I am successfully connecting to this calendar from a Windows 8.1 PC (Firefox Lightning), an Apple iPAD (Apple Calendar), and a Linux notebook (Firefox Lightning). So the URL, the login and the calendar work ok.
2. I am successfully connecting with the firefox browser of the phone using https to the mangagement interface (port 7001) of the NAS (the certificate is flagged as "untrusted" and a permanent exception has been made). So login with https works ok in principle.
3. I get the same error message "wrong login and/or password" under DSM 5.0. So it is not a problem of the version of the Synology DSM calDAV server
4. I get the same error "wrong login and/or password) with an unsecure connection using http and the respective URL: http://192.168.1.251:5005/testcalendar (beware of the changed port number using http). So it is not a problem of the ssl-connection.
I have connected the phone to the linux machine and generated the log by running:
sudo adb logcat -v time > calendar.log
Here is are the results of the log (I have made 1 unsuccessful attempt to connect to the calDAV server on 11-16 14:26 and 2 unsuccessful attempts on 11-16 14:27. I am not sure for which message to look for so I just have the sections that contain most probably the bug (If required I can of course provide the full log or even re-test and re-log). my guess for the bug is:

Hi Ralph,
thanks a lot for the quick response. This is very appreciated! I will try to equally give you all the information required as quickly as possible.
1. CalDAV Log on Synology:
I have tested the connection between the calDAV client on ZTE Open C (Firefox OS 1.3) and the calDAV server on Synology (DSM 5.1) again and I get the same bug "wrong login and/or password". The logs on the Synology NAS show the following (Synology NAS: Control Panel-> File Services -> webDAV -> Advanced Settings -> View Logs -> Select: Connection)
User [testuser] from [192.168.1.6] failed to login in via [WebDAV] due to authorization failure
2. Seperate Folder/Files for calendar on Synolgoy
I have setup the CalDAV files on Synology NASin a dedicated folder. The calendar ist in https://192.168.1.251:5006/dir_PersonalCalendars/testcalendar . Unfortunately the error on the ZTE Open C is the same as before: "wrong login and/or password" .
Interesting is, that if I mis-type the folder or the calendar name, then I get on the ZTE Open C the error: "Something is wrong. Try again later".
This suggests that the folder and files are well recognized when loggin in.
Hope that helps you to continue. If you need something more, than please let me know.
Thanks,
Schaefi

ZTE Open C reboots during calls

The phone reboots during calls. OS version 1.3, latest according to ZTE.
Thing is, only when it is set to use 3G. But if I set to 2G the audio is absolutely terrible.
Both when using 2G and 3G sometimes the calls get cut-off on the receiver phone. I can hear the other person talking but the other person doesn't hear anything. This is another issue.
What can I do? The phone was bought from Ebay on September 2014.
Problem didn't start now, ZTE Ebay support said the issue was a SIM one. I recently changed to 3G because the noises in 2G are almost unbearable.

''Ralph Daub [[#answer-713346|said]]''
<blockquote>
Hi Falconet,
I understand you are experiencing rebooting and call quality issues on your ZTE Open C device.
Since ZTE is responsible for the Firefox OS build specific to your device, I would suggest following their advice.
You may be able to request a new SIM card for your device by contacting your carrier support.
I hope this resolves your issue. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Firefox OS device.
Thanks,
- Ralph
</blockquote>
Hi,
What ZTE meant was changing carriers not just sim card. I can't do that for another 1.5 years. The reason they said is because the phone seemed fine for a while when using another carrier. Sadly, the SIM is fine since another SIM card from the same carrier does the same. Both are working fine on Android Phones.

How do i select russian keyboard in firefox os 1.3 (zte open c)

how do i select russian keyboard in firefox os 1.3 (zte open c)? i have no russian keyboard in list of 'built-in keyboards' and in list of 'more keyboards'.

To give an update on this issue, here is the latest information I have:

Loss of history, top site, etc in FFOS 2.2 on ZTE Open C

I updated my OPEN C to 2.2 using packages from here : http://builds.firefoxos.mozfr.org/doc/en/devices/zte-open-c-eu , most recent build is 20150227165045.
I have 3 batteries, original 1500mAh, two 1850mAh from ebay (they are designed for ZTE V768, but works good with OPEN C).
Yesterday, I switched out one 1850 mAh battery, and put in another. First system couldn't see the battery status of the 2nd battery (should be near 100%, but OS insists its <20%). So I did a battery pull for a few minutes and put 2nd battery in again. This time, the system see the proper battery percentage, but since that, there is no top site nor history in the browsers. Universal search also doesn't return any history records. I had to reset the phone.

Hi crislevin,
I am sorry to hear about the loss of history and top sites on your ZTE Open C device.
Unfortunately, it's possible that either the unofficial build or the unofficial battery may have caused problems with the phone and eventually the loss of data.
Please contact ZTE's support channels directly for further assistance. They are the manufacturer of your device and may be able to further assist you.
Thanks,

Return stock bootloader to ZTE Open C

Recently, I followed a guide on how to install android 4.4 on a zte open c, mostly to see how it was:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axOYIfo7y2s
After quickly getting bored and wanting to return to Firefox OS, I installed the 'droid to FFOS package, but it appears that I'm still stuck with the custom bootloader that android needed to install?
How might I get rid of this? I've tried running `sudo fastboot boot boot.img`, it worked for that boot but not for when I rebooted it; I'm presuming this is because it doesn't over-write the existing boot image?
Thanks in advance,
Johnny

I fixed this on my own.
And for you information that is the exact tool that I used.
And I'm not a novice; I know what a root shell is and I wouldn't have said that I have root if I didn't.
Maybe read the post before assuming you know more than the poster...
Anyway...
i just built cwm for the device and using the rooted shell dd'd the factory recovery image and dd'd the new one.
then i installed the ZTE Kis 3 firmware with the new recovery
then i rebooted to the bootloader and did "sudo fastboot oem unlock" and the bootloader was unlocked.
this did not working following the aforementioned guide using only the upgrade tool otherwise i wouldn't have posted.

Updating the ZTE Open C from Mozilla Nightly system images

I wanted to update my ZTE Open C from 1.4 to 2.1. When I update it from the official Mozilla Nightly system images from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/b2g/nightly/ everything is good except the font is tiny. I tried to apply the font fix but it doesn't work. Any idea how to fix this ?

Hi RazorMKD,
Thank you for your response. I'm sorry to hear that you also have issues when flashing your ZTE Open C with with older versions of the Flame build.
Can you please explain the steps you are taking to flash your device? Flashing the ZTE Open C device with a Flame image requires a shallow flash, since the Gonk its may not work correctly on the ZTE Open C.
Where did you purchase the device? Can you also attempt to flash your device with ZTE's commercial rooted build to see if this issue persists? Please follow [http://en.comebuy.com/developer-firefox-os-open-c.html this link] for the files and further instructions.
Please let us know the results.
In the meantime, I contacted developers in the dev-b2g mailing list so that others can chime in with possible solutions.

How do I upgrade to latest 1.2 build for ZTE Open?

I saw on this thread:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/992324?esab=a&s=zte+open+1.2&r=0&as=s
it was being discussed that if you updated to 1.2 pre-release, you ran into a potential major issue which is the notification tray does not slide down. I, unfortunately have run into this problem. Is there anyone who can provide steps on how to pull the latest build from git and compile it so I can fix this? I'm afraid my technical expertise has hit a wall in this case.
I have the ZTE Open from Ebay, MacOSX 10.9.2
I installed 1.2 through my terminal using this tutorial:
https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/01/upgrading-your-zte-open-to-firefox-1-1-or-1-2-fastboot-enabled/comment-page-1/#comments
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi, thanks for the response. Yea, I ended up finding a compiled FFOS 1.3 on xda-forums and installed in. So at least the phone pretty much works again and it's 99% there.
Thanks again for the response and this thread can be closed/resolved now. :)

Has anyone successfully used the ZTE Open C with an AT&T microcell?

I have a ZTE Open C and have had no issues with initial setup w/AT&T. However, like most newer phones the voice signal reception is very weak.
I've had an AT&T Microcell before, but I don't have one now. For those that are unaware, the microcell allows 3G phones to connect via a 3G signal, but the call is routed through a home broadband internet connection.
Has anyone successfully used a ZTE Open C w/Firefox OS AND used an AT&T microcell? If yes, did you need to do anything special on the phone or with Firefox OS.

I don't use a ZTE Open C, however, I do have a ZTE Open (Original) on AT&T and so I'll see if I can help ;D
I know someone who has a Microcell, and I have used it myself a few times. However, the microcell only works if you have entered in your phone number into settings of the Microcell.
Check the Microcell settings.
Check the data connection settings on your FxOS device
Make sure your Microcell is properly connected to WiFi
and check the AT&T support page for more info
For a while, it actually hasn't actually worked for me. I apologize if this doesn't solve your problem :D

Use volume button on ZTE Open only for music and not for ringtone/sms/alarm

I wounder if its possible to override the volume button on the device so it dosent change the ringtone and sms volume? I had this feature on iOS where I can set the ringtone and notification volume then a switch that sad "Change with buttons" = true || false.
My Android device (Padfone2) did not have this feature and I end up missing calls and sms because you turn the volume up and down when you browse the web, listening to music ect.
Does someone know if this is possible on my ZTE Open with FFOS 1.1?

To further explain where the volume controls are going,
'There's multiple different settings for audio volume:
* audio.volume.content: Affects the "content" and "normal" audio channels. It's an integer between 0 and 15 where 0 means muted (but not paused).
* audio.volume.notification: Affects the "notification" and "ringer" channels. It's an integer between 0 and 15.
* audio.volume.alarm: Affects the "alarm" channel. It's an integer between 0 and 15.
* audio.volume.telephony: Affects the "telephony" channel. It's an integer between 0 and 5.
* audio.volume.bt_sco: Volume when bluetooth headset is plugged in. It's an integer between 0 and 15.'
Take from https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI/AudioChannels
So as per stated before, the Ringer & Notification has a different setting than the Alarm, as well as the Telephony voice and the content as well as blue tooth volume.
I agree that it can get rather confusing with which volume is getting affected when. In general if the sound is currently going off, then most likely that is what the volume is controlling. We should probably file a bug on somehow getting the volume controlling less confusing.
