Galaxy S4 Clone - NOT a Galaxy S4 Clone !!??

[Stream]

I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S4 Clone (Chinese) from Chinese border and brought it home, knowing it was a clone.

​

What I did not realize when I purchased it were:

1. the Screen does NOT support the (now common) Auto-Rotate function
2. it does NOT even have the Photo Zoom function {, to add to my headache, }
3. turned out, it WAS NOT running an Android OS in the 1st place

The Clone looks just like ANY other S4 Clone you can read about on the Net (ALL of which mention the Android OS). I put Adobe Reader APK file and it says "Unsupported file format" or something similar, which means its not running Android.

I bought it ENTIRELY thinking of it as an Android device, and now i feel SO pi**ed off

My Questions are;

1. How can i install Android OS in it?
2. Could it be that its actually running Android, and i need to fix something for it to work?
3. Has anyone else faced the same problem?

It used to boot with the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9500" Boot Screen, after i inserted a MicroSD memory card in it, it started showiong the "Android" Boot Screen BUT HEY, the Chinese could insert any video or image at the boot, that does not help the fact that it can't even run the Android Native APK file ..

Thank you ..

1. If it's a java-phone (what i strongly believe) NO
2. We must see more of the phone - homescreen etc
3. In this board, i think no

Thank you both for the reply ..

I had done a detailed video of every function of the mobile with a digital camera but the video size was 342 MB, too big for my slow connection, so i had to use my samsung ch@t phone, it's just 2.0 MP, so sorry for the bad video quality.

YourFileLink OR VideoBam

The thing i noticed is - there is no menu which gives the Android "device specification" (Settings -> My device) as it's found in Android, i guess - an extra point which means it's NOT Android.
Although i have never used an Android device before, when i first heard that Android music, it sounded somewhat fake, idk why,. That music is not from Android OS, is it?

Thank you

Sorry, thats a 40$ java-phone, the only thing you can do with it is use it just for calls, or try to sell it honestly for 50$ or something like that.

Real android devices did cost at least 180$ or over with mt6589

Okay Thanks, i too felt it was a Java-phone, as i already use one, I feel so pi**ed off, so it really is a "Clone" of a Clone ..

 

[Daemonarch]

I hope you paid not very much for it.

Maybe you can try to restore the factory settings.If you still can't solve this problem,maybe you can ask the service who sales the phone to you.

I think you can ask the seller, this phone not original galaxy s4, so many of s4 function can't work in the phone, that is normal. next time you purchase clone, I suggest you purchase famous clone like goophone or no.1 that is batter than your phone.
