Elephone P8 ghost touches

Hello, I had problem with ghost touches half a year. I have solution for you, mine P8 is working fifth day without single ghost touch.

It is simle, I heated display with heatgun (approx. one minute until I cant hold finger on screen) and heated screen crease (squeeze) on part of display which has ghost touches (on my P8 this part was top screen area). Of course, heat the phone without battery, sim and micro SD card:) Hope this will help for some people :)

Sorry for my english...
[Device Reviews and Information] vangelislam:
yes ok ..but how this tool work ....?? and how i can download it ?
[Device Reviews and Information] idmeples:
I have recently received this phone and other than the rather short battery life (even on the "4600mAh" battery) I am quite pleased.

The problem is that I have reached the limit of the internal storage, but I also really like the installed ROM (it came default with the device, rooted + no spyware I could find).

The only hint on the ROM build is "P8_20141030", but I could not find who created it.

Does anyone know this ROM?

Thanks :)
[Device Reviews and Information] toncheee:
Hi mate, try with this ROM: http://www.needrom.com/download/etp-v1-stock-edition/

I use it for few months now, and it's best ROM for Elephone P8 you can find.

regards,

Toncheee

Does a ROM upgrade has anything to do with network signal detection ? IF you like the built in ROM very much but having no tower ( tower with red cross) with all your available sims,, what to do ? All those sims are working well in all other phones like samsung or nokia...

I recieved an Elephone P8, which seems to be bricked.

I managed to flash the original 4.2.2. pre rooted firmware provided by N2k1, and the device seems te responding now. The screen lights up, the buttons blink, a tune is played, the phone sometimes vibrates but the screen remains black. There is nothing to see on the screen.

Anyone know how to fix that problem?
[Device Reviews and Information] Satbeginner:
I had problems with the little connector inside, in the upper left corner (front view).

To get to this, you have to open the phone, remove ALL the little screws at the back, and CAREFULLY pry the plastic, chrome edge, away from the screen to open it.

I did put a thin piece of thin cardboard with some tape on the little connector, so it is "pushed in" a bit by the back-cover, now it works OK.
[Device Reviews and Information] KaiseRRUby:
Yep, that is the problem. Trying to fix it now, but it is hard te fix.
[Device Reviews and Information] Leader2light:
Yes this is the best rom for this phone. Used it for months now. Wish android 5 would be ported.

How you flash - In short: re-flash ONLY the UBOOT partition with this "lk.bin" file,

Holla Satbeginner,

can you tell me how you flash the "lk.bin" (...........In short: re-flash ONLY the UBOOT partition with this "lk.bin" file, it can be found here.........)

Please explain

I Can't get it

Gracias

Rui
[Device Reviews and Information] Satbeginner:
Selectively flash only one partition

You select the partition you want to flash in the SPFT flashtool, you in your question: only mark that partition you want to flash.

Un saludo,

The more I read, the less I understand.

Sorry for comming up with the same question again, but I don't get ETP_V1.5 installed.

I downloaded all tools but don't understand how to use them.

When I try to execute ETP_V1.5 in the flashing mode from SD Card (volume up + power) it says "installation aborted".

I downloaded the P8_ctr 25 and the SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1312.0.139 but have no clue how to continue.

Please can somebody help me.

P8 screen freezes sometimes when I'm trying to unlock

Hi FaridAZE,

the same goes for my P8, I try to unlock the screen but does not respond, I have to try one more, and again to unlock even sometimes when I receive calls and messages this happens. When the screen locks, I press the Home button or the sound button these work showing me open applications and being able to increase the sound

also see that the locked screen with the clock working

I've taken applications, settings changed

and nothing has improved

I do not know what to do.

some simple solution ????

Battery Bugg - Lk.Bin

Battery Bugg - Lk.Bin

Just a question,

To replace our Lk.bin by the German forum, I think that's how you did:

First opened the spft, we download the scatter of our rom we want to install, then deselected all the boxes except the Uboot box and clicking twice on that line to find the Lk.Bin file (the old 04/28/2014) , correct?

Now, with only Uboot box marked and Lk.bin file inserted on the line, only download the old Lk.bin for Elephone P8, correct?

Can confirm me.

Thank you

Rui
[Device Reviews and Information] N2k1:
[MENTION=6965681]Hangman1860[/MENTION] Just open SPFT, load scatter file, flash the custom recovery.

Now boot into recovery and install from there.

Hi all,

Does anyone know where can I find a LCD Display + Touch Screen for the Elephone P8 at best price? Or even this model...

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] Shredder11:
Damn is this really true? I bought my P8 in February 2014 and my sister got one in April 2014, and has since broken the USB socket meaning she can no longer recharge the battery; she currently takes the battery out to charge it. Seeing as the published specifications mentioned NFC, I thought I would buy a wireless charger for her phone.

I've also installed AIDA64 v1.43 and the "Device Features:" section shows "nfc" as being present. I'm not sure how to get at the NFC feature though, unless it just automatically triggered once near a compatible external device? I notice in the Apps section there is a running process called, "Nfc Service".
[Device Reviews and Information] fragtion:
The broken USB issue is a common problem with the P8. You can buy a replacement USB module and it's not too expensive or difficult to repair. I fixed mine and an up and running again.
[Device Reviews and Information] Shredder11:
What size soldering iron tip did you use for this job? I've only got a Weller 50W soldering station with a regular sized tip I think. Also would adding some hot glue stick stuff help to fix it more securely? The guy on the EEVBlog on YouTube calls it "hot snot" :D

Hello my friends, I received elephone P8 few weeks ago and I have to say it's a very good phone for its price. Unfortunately I found two problems. The battery lasts only few hours and I'm obliges to recharge twice a day, and second one, the front camera is not working nor with Skype neither with the Facebook live streaming but it works fine with pictures. What can I do to fix them? The firmware is the original one. Thanks everybody

i ordered this device by Etotalk 4 days ago and now i have the phone in my hands...i'm very surprised testing the phone...it is already equipped with 4.4.2 Kitkat with Etomod ROM (i ordered). Specs are below:

BASEBAND: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V35.P1, 2014/04/24

KERNEL: 3.4.67 root@android#1 Sat Apr 26 14:47:50 CST 2014

NUMERO BUILD: P8_20140428

It seems to be very stable and fast, run smoothly. Very good device at incredible price! :good:

Can you try to install Google camera from play store? It s only for kit at devices :)
[Device Reviews and Information] diederikmo:
Is that a custom rom ?

Is it available for other users ?
[Device Reviews and Information] bluemask69:
[MENTION=4259973]ManuX_oS[/MENTION]: yes it runs perfectly

[MENTION=4586721]diederikmo[/MENTION]: it is Etomod rom based on official 4.4.2 rom from Elephone. Look at needrom.com , there is a Kitkat rom for P8
[Device Reviews and Information] JohnnyInBriz:
Is the Etomod rom rooted? Is there a download link for it? Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] bluemask69:
yes it is already rooted. No links for download available, it comes with the phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] JohnnyInBriz:
Any chance you could make a backup of boot.img and system.img using MTKDroidTools?

[Device Reviews and Information] JohnnyInBriz:
Received my P8 today and loaded the rooted rom in above post. Apart from being rooted it appears to be the same rom as that which came with the phone. I prefer SuperSU to Superuser so I then spent some time re-rooting it using MTKDroid tools. I've now got it setup the way I like and with most of my apps installed. The only issues I've had is not being able to get a transparent status bar so for the moment I'm using it in full screen mode.

Hi,

Does GPS work fine in P8? Im thinking about buying this phone but battery drain and GPS functioning are my main worries....
[Device Reviews and Information] samhell:
Battery drain is an issue, if you're navigating without a strong (1,2A) usb loader. GPS, big bright Screen and the Octacore want to be fed. ;)

GPS itself is more than usable, after installing "GPS Status" and starting it one time (the app then loads AGPS-Data, and from then on the fixes are really fast).
[Device Reviews and Information] delespoir:
You can greatly improve battery drain by using setcpu.apk and reducing CPU speed when it is not useful.

Moreover, the best is to use mtkuncle tools in order to configure the GPS. Mine is working fine!

So I uploaded a backup and a SPFT-flashable firmware dated with 20140611.

Thi sfirmware is without wallpaper bug, without battery bug, without uuplay.apk and with added button in menu when press home for a long time to free ram with one click (close all open apps)

Firmware for SPFT

Backup made with Carliv 2.4

There is a new User forum made bei elephone.

And there are links to firmware updates.

Good N2k1.

If we want the Zip recovery is to be able to do more custom roms, be easier to carry Cm, Psx, Miui (which apparently your project is very very miui stopped), Lewa is ........ is why we want to install the rom for recovery, no buckups or anything like that.

Twrp for Elephone P8 http://xdaforums.com/android/general/elephone-p8-twrp-t2820706/post54247803
[Device Reviews and Information] assasukasse:
I recently bought one

so far the impressions are very good

Battery life is very decent for normal use, i can get more than one day if I do not use auto-brightness

setting brightness manually to 33% gives a perfectly crisp screen and long battery life

of course if you play a lot with the phone best is to set even lower

My phone came with UUPLAY.apk

so I rooted it quickly and removed the app

the app just installs chinese crapware randomly on your phone and shows chinese ads from time to time

Removal is extremely easy, I rooted using vroot and installed supersu replacing the chinese root app

after that, removed uuplay.apk

Screen seems to be gorilla glass, mine did not come with a screen protector but had a flip case

everything working out of the box but the gps

gps needed a quick refresh from mobileuncle tools to be immediately functional, nothing that waiting 15 mins for fix the first time couldnt have done.

After the first 3 days i cannot really find any problem if not the flip case not being of the best quality

phone is EXTREMELY fast, responsive, crisp sound from the loudspeaker (a bit weak on the ear speaker tho), screen is crisp and bright

dual sim works perfectly out of the box

beware that the browser folder is full of malicious apk, do not attempt to install them, just delete them all.

A good cleanup of unused folders is also needed

Unfortunately mine has the screen lock bug, so it is not possible to change the screenlock unless using third party apps

comes with android 4.4.2

so far really happy with build quality, good buttons, good screen, good finish

I managed to fix the screen lock bug following a german website:

what is needed to do is to have a rooted phone,

then give this on a terminal

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

mount | grep system

/emmc@android /system ext4 rw,seclabel,relatime,noauto_da_alloc,commit=1,data =ordered 0 0

cd /system/priv-app

mv ../app/Ag* ./

exit

from then, lockscreen change will work
[Device Reviews and Information] mirchichamu:
Hi [MENTION=3667327]djixon[/MENTION]

I received my phone today. It came rooted with 4.4.2...

What is your opinion to install your rom or leave as it is?

Secondly, I wanted to install the twrp recovery via mobileuncle but when I click to go to recovery, it opened a screen with Android icon and a red triangle ?. I didn't try to go to recovery myself.

Thanks.

[Device Reviews and Information] mirchichamu:
Thanks. Because of this reason, I reverted back to 4.2.2. My go backup was not working. Google has made a very stupid decision. And further I couldn't see any major difference between kitkat and 4.2.2 jellybean.

We have carliv touch recovery 2.5, TWRP 2.7.1, update to 4.4.2 with aroma installer and option to resize partitions, JB 4.2.2 with touch wiz like UI, fix the battery bug, Greek hybrid ROM KitKat + L

If you only want to fix the wallpaper bug use this

The uuplay.apk on ELEPHONE P8 is an 3rd party market (similar black market or aptoide).

[Device Reviews and Information] N2k1:
If you want to install 4.2.2 ROM, just use the TouchWiz version or if you want a more "native ANDROID" I can upload the "march" version.

If you only want to install custom recovery, just download CTR 2.5 or TWRP2.7.1 and extract the recovery image.

Now flash within SPFT - or if phone rooted, within mobile uncle tools.

If you want to have root access, remember thereare 2 different versions of root known.

a) root in system

b) root in ADB shell.

If you ony want to have root in system (and you have a custom recovery) just install Chainfires SuperSu in recovery.

If you want to have root in ADB shell, you are able to flash the patched (insecure) boot image or install Chainfires adbd insecure.
