Tested by me yesterday,

Enjoy and do credit to 4pda.ru

Additional information

You can boot into CWM using MobileUncle.

With the Doogee DG350, you cannot boot into CWM using only the phone and key combos! If you need to get into CWM and cannot do this using software (like MobileUncle), then you must use the following process:

1. Phone OFF

2. Press and HOLD the Volume Up/+

3. Plug phone into a power source via USB (wall, battery backup charger, or computer will all work just fine)

Hi, I have tried to flash this ROM on my dg350, because I bought I5 smartwatches and these watches are able to communicate only with version android 4.3 and higher. Until yesterday I have been using the 4.2.9. I have flashed it with SP flash tool. Everything was fine. I have had only one problem that after I have added Gmail account the phone was not able to connect to google servers. Wi-Fi and also mobile internet without any problem, I have tested it. Do you have the same experience? I have found to guide how to fix this problem /edit the hosts file in system/etc - add manually the google server IP and name but without success/. After that I have flashed the old one version 4.2.9 and I have checked this host file and there was only the local host servers IP and name, the same as in the 4.4 installation. It means that the google server connection troubles don’t cause this file.

Any idea?

Also I have problem to root both versions 4.2.9 and also 4.4. I have tried framarout, kingroot, vroot and about 4-5 another program. No way.

Additional info / I have flashed it through "MT6582_Android_scatter" file.

Thx for yours answers and ideas. ;)

[Android General] imorfin:
Hello,

for fully function gservices you have to flash the "optional" zip. About root is written in my manual, so you only have to read whole manual. Through recovery flash su.zip

Hello, has anyone figured out how to start CWM when the phone is off ?

I tried to forget everything, but I only successful way to start the factory with -VOL ... + VOL button is useless to me, as the phone starts normally.
[Android General] mukipuki:
I have found it. :D Hold "Volume+" and during this time connect phone to e.g. PC. CWM will start.

[Android General] mukipuki:
Unfortunately I have one problem with my new 4.4.4. Im not able to synchronize my gmail calendar. I have tried 5 different apps. Every apps has seen my gmail account but didnt see any calendar. Any idea ?
[Android General] imorfin:

[Android General] mukipuki:
I have already flasthed the OPTIONAL, but there is still the problem with calendar.
[Android General] imorfin:
So you did something wrong, me and other members have all working. Try to do whole process again.
[Android General] arielbgb:
thanks finaly i order the dg350
[Android General] Xperia-Ray:
Thak you for the GPS test! - this device looks really good now, moreover- I see DooGee tarted to take business serious and they post Rom's and Certification info on their site-this is very important for me.

http://www.doogee.cc/en/gb/technology.asp?cid=30
[Android General] Kasun117:
Yeah no problem, it was my pleasure :)

Yeah I saw the rom and flash tools on their website too, I was talking on another forum (for the UMI X1 Pro, basically same as DG350) and someone said they managed flash the stock Doogee rom onto their UMI X1 Pro which basically confirms that the phones are the same just in case you were curious, however there doesnt appear to be a stock UMI rom on the UMI website.
[Android General] mabil:
Hey guys,

Original Doogee devices has a "scratch to find true or false" label in their boxes. Do you have it? Where did you buy it? Mine was bought in Banggood but I am still waiting to receive it.
[Android General] Pritesh.mohan:

hi guys,

i am from india.

i recently ordered dg350 from aliexpress.com

anyone who has the phone,can you tell m the customs duty for importing this device?

right now i have paid and cancelled the order due to this issue.

please help me.

thanks
[Android General] mukipuki:

Everything with full price (shiping+product) over 22 EUR - under 150 EUR / only VAT

[Android General] Pritesh.mohan:
Buying now

thanks sir.

anyone found rooting method for the device yet? anyone tried?

because i would very much like to root the device at the moment i receive it ( you know, better to restore all my apps and data from previous device to the new device via titanium backup)
[Android General] mabil:
Sure. Just root it as Umi X1 pro is

signal problems

hi guys.

i am having signal problems in 3G, 012 Israel. the network works on 900/2100, but phones with 2100 only have full reception. this one gets "confused". no signal/poor signal/signal seems ok but can't make calls/slow internet connection. on GSM it seems ok, but only if i disable the 3G. anybody had this problem? my build version is

doogee-pixels-dg350-android 4.2.9 20140320-160450

and baseband from 17/2/2014

anyone with a different build or baseband?

thank you all.

What kind of Simcards?

Does Doogee DG 350 have 2 standard simcards? Or one standard simcard and one micro simcard?
[Android General] nirwe:
one micro and one standard. both can function on 3G.
[Android General] mabil:
A simcard slot (2G) and a microsimcard slot (3G).
[Android General] nirwe:
both can be used for 3G
[Android General] Kasun117:
Yeah I'm fairly certain both can operate on either 2g or 3g.
[Android General] motombweha:
I just got my Pixels 350 last week and Its working just fine for me except the Camera issue I've seen mentioned by some people earlier.

This phone has no lag at all; I have installed a load of apps and its working just fine.

FYI: I bought my DG350 from Aliexpress.
[Android General] mabil:
Check if you have double screen protection because some users have it ;)
[Android General] motombweha:
I did have it; I removed the first screen protector only to find a second layer. That's neat considering I had ruined the one that was included in the box trying to put on the phone
[Android General] pvergers:
did I get a dodgy doogee?

I got my DG350 today, purchased from BangGood. so far, not so good with the following issues

1 Voice calls turn choppy at the receiving end after approx 1 minute. It will come good again for a little while if I switch to a new source (i.e. speaker phone, earphones, or even just take my ear away from the phone so the screen turns back on) but will ultimately return to a garbled conversation for the person at the other end of the phone (everything seems fine at my end)

2 No 3G data. The icon at top of screen show 3G or H icon, and arrows showing data upload/download but the play store, and internet just don't work. in the few hours it has somehow squeezed a couple of meg of data down (according to the data usage) and opened a couple of web sites after a long time. NOTE: Phone is quoted to support 850/2100 WCDMA and I have Australia telechoice (telstra) sim whch uses 850/2100

3 Touch screen Dead spot bottom right of screen right where the delete key is on the soft keyboard. Works if you press it a bit harder or move finger a little. I think I could put up with this. (note I also have the reported camera button issue, but this is a different issue)

would love any suggestions / help

I have same build as Nirwe :

doogee-pixels-dg350-android 4.2.9 20140320-160450

and baseband from 17/2/2014

I have tried both SIM slots, I seemed to miss incomming calls when using SIM 2 (larger sim slot)
[Android General] Kasun117:
Hi pvergers,

Are you saying 3G doesnt work? It seems to work fine for me (Lebara using Vodafone network in Australia), I think initially mine didn't work properly either but then I realised I forgot to change the APN settings, after changing my 3G worked properly. Go to Settings>More...>Mobile Networks> Access Point Names and choose the APN appropriate for you or you might have to add a New APN according to info given by your network. Hope this helps :)
[Android General] pvergers:
Hi Kasun117,

thanks for your help.

My mate bought the same phone at the same time, and he got his yesterday as well.

We have done some testing overnight and so far he doesn't have any of these issues. He's wrapped with his phone.

I have tried a factory reset, and double check the network/APN settings are the same as what is working for my mate (he is also with telechoice), but still no good.

Oh, and I can now add more issues:

4. Incomming calls more often than not go straight through to my voicemail / msg2txt, even though I have reception (3/4 bars) and can make outgoing calls

5. Frequent call drop out. Callls don't last more than max 5-10min.

6. GSM reception very iffy (I disabled 3g, would only search for connection, I put in another sim I had which was optus, 2G only and it did eventually register, but took a long time, wasn't until I was driving around)

Looks like I got a dud.
[Android General] Kasun117:
Hi pvergers,

Yeah it does look like you have some serious problems with your mobile network stuff :(

Does the optus sim seem to work fine? Like do the other problems occur with the optus sim or does it happen no matter what sim you put in?
[Android General] LupusWorax:
I received my DG350 yesterday so far I have the following issues:

Sound delay in youtube

Everything else works for me, no Problems with calls, no dead touch spots on the lower right corner or any place on the display surface. Great reception on gsm WCDMA, Wifi and bluetooth

I ordered my unit at focalpricedotcom.

GPS works awesome:

even indoors.

Ported Calivs CWM 6.0.4.4 based touch Recovery for the Doodgee DG350:

Flash with SP Flash tool or use Recovery update in Mobile uncle tools:

[Android General] pvergers:
other issues are also present with the optus sim (dodgey outgoing audio on phone calls) which, insidently was the larger size SIM so was in slot 2.

Optus SIM has no data, so was not able to test this.

If overly interested you can check out some dodgey youtube videos I did for Banggood customer service (they asked for some video evidence of the issues)

search "phil vergers" on youtube
[Android General] mrvitko:
sample photo

Can you please send us some photo what have been taken by the front/rear camera of doogee?

i am really interested in the camera quality.

thank you
[Android General] Kasun117:
I might be mistaken but in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luxpB72ZPmM it looks like you inserted the sim card incorrectly, the metallic connection part should be facing up, thats how i have it in my phone atleast. Hope this helps :)

EDIT: I also noticed in another video that you still have the protective film for the screen protector itself still on your phone and that might be why some areas are not responsive. You can take off the protective layer with the green tab that is connected to it. I had this problem initially too, even after I took off the green tab but I had taken off just the green tab and not the protective film haha. Now everything works fine.
[Android General] mabil:
Hi phil,

I ordered too in Banggood but I am waiting to receive it. I hope I will not have these issues in my device. Anyway, I will be glad if you give me banggood service feedback.

Thanks in advance.
[Android General] pvergers:
SIM 2 (large SIM) goes in with connections facing up, but SIM 1 is the other way around (must be correct as it can make phone calls (some times)).

As for the screen protector, I was trying to keep the phone as received. I have taken it off now, a bit better but issue definitely still exists when phone is sitting on a table (I think I have seen other reports of this issue).
[Android General] pvergers:
2 photos attached: same picture from DG350 and IPhone 4S (rear cameras). DG350 doesn't look so good :(
[Android General] Kasun117:
Ok, well I guess if you have everything setup properly and its still not working, then thats just unlucky :(

Also I noticed that Doogee have a new phone "Valencia" with the same processor as the DG350 (MTK6582) on their website and its running android 4.4.2 Kitkat so I hope that means the DG350 will get KitKat soon :)

fw update

dg350最新软件_0321.rar

this is the name of updated firmware file, which is available on google drive :cyclops:

1 ) i wonder, if anyone has updated this file on his device.

i am still waiting for the refund, so my phone will be available in next couple of months :eek:

anyway,

i saw

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Doogee-DG350-White-Android-4-2-9-MTK6582-1-3GHz-Quad-Core-1GB-4GB-4-7/1749927803.html

here in a photo that there is a samsung launcher is installed. i huess,they have ported it.

please take a look.

2) can anyone confirm the OGS screen?
[Android General] Kasun117:
Hi Pritesh,

I don't think that file is the updated firmware, that is still the stock android 4.2.9 firmware, the picture just probably has the samsumg launcher on it.

I'm also fairly certain it is an OGS screen as it has almost 180 degree viewing angle.
[Android General] LupusWorax:
The high viewing angle is a result of an IPS ( In Plane Switching) its a kind of display technology. OGS ( One Glas touch Screen) means that the touch and the display itself is bonded as one. ( not like the older one where you could easily get dust in between the touch glas panel and the display. Good thing about an OGS display is that there's no chance for dust to get in between and the screen is closer to the surface. Bad thing is when it breaks you have to change the whole display. with a non OGS Display you can change the touch panel quite easily without touching the display behind.

I still prefer OGS even an exchange display is way more expensive than rather replacing the touchpanel only.
[Android General] Xperia-Ray:
DG350 has OGS display - it's very easy to notice because non OGS panel have a gray mirror effect, on DG350 the LCD looks black when OFF.
[Android General] Kasun117:
Yeah I knew that the viewing angle is mostly due to the IPS screen but OGS also improves viewing angles, as you said, the display is practically on the touch glass hence meaning no gap and therefore improving viewing angles further.
[Android General] Pritesh.mohan:
buying today

hello amigos

i am buying 2 pieces today.

one for me and one for my nephew.

i saw on aliexpress,that the price is as low as 103 usd.

shipping by dhl.

total cost is 261 usd.

i asked the seller about availability of stock and he said that he will let me know on monday.

what should i do about it?

his feedback is good though.

please let me know asap.

kind of in a confused state.
[Android General] Kasun117:
I dont have much experience with aliexpress electronics, so I can't help too much except to say do your research on the seller which it seems you've already done. I can tell you my buying experience with Pandawill though, I bought mine for US$109 (pre-order price) + US$4 for shipping with Singapore post (they had free china post option but I heard china post is slow) and received my item in around 9 days (To Australia) after they released it from the factory which was decent. If you are worried about being scammed then maybe you could check out other stores such as pandawill, merrimobiles, geekbuying etc/
[Android General] LupusWorax:
Sorry but this is just not right. It can be an OGS Display type but with some crappy TFT Display and bad viewing angle, the OGS wouldn't help in any way for better viewing angle?! Viewing angle only depends on the display itself ( TFT, IPS,...) and not a little bit about OGS.
[Android General] Pritesh.mohan:
wow,

thanks for the help buddy.

can you tell me the custom duty you paid for 109 USD?
[Android General] Kasun117:
Sorry I should have phrased that better, I meant if you had the same IPS display with OGS and without haha.

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

np :)

I payed no custom duties/tax as in Australia you don't have to if the item is less than $1000, but obviously in your country it may be different.
[Android General] Krystyna:
I am willing to spend a little more money to buy a DOOGEE DG550.
[Android General] Krystyna:
HI. I received my Doogee DG350 few days ago. But I (and many people) have been dissapointed touchscreen and camera issues. Could new firmware solve those issues?
[Android General] Xperia-Ray:
Pls read first post:
[Android General] joungLT:
Hello, I'm disappointed with the touch screen for longer use, it warms up and, the phone responds to old fingerprints :(. Has anyone encountered this situation? I plan to send back for replacement.:eek:
[Android General] gleam2003:
Doogee yesterday on facebook write that new firmware for dg350 with camera issue solved come out early.

I think that the area of the touch where the button of camera sit is bugged, for that or they solve the touch issue or move the camera button in another position. Pray for touch fix.

Can repair the GPS problem?
[Android General] gleam2003:
No GPS issue on my device. Compare to other mtk 6582 band 6589 mobile phone I own it work very good
[Android General] eteles:
Hello guys... My sister has just lost her zp810 and I'm thinking of buying this one for her... Just wondering about this touchscreen issue... Is this a problem only found in the camera app (easily fixable) or the bottom of the screen is a bit unresponsive in all apps? Is there a better phone in the market for about this price and that supports wcdma 850\2100?

Thanks.

Touch Screen Fix with My Custom Rom

Hey guys,

Im also a proud Pixels owner since March 28th. Of course with the touch screen bug. No GPS issues, it works very nice. I was also very frustrated with the touch issue, and also tried latest available rom from Doogee, which makes the touch a little bit better but the camera app is still .... dont want to write down the word :)

So yesterday evening I finished a custom rom which FIXES the touch screen issue, the touch works perfectly even if the device is on table! :) :) And is more sensitive in my oppinion!

Here are the details of the rom:

Filename: Doogee_DG350-d4u-senscamfix.zip

Title: Doogee DG350 Pixels - Sensitivity and Camera FIX

It is basically a Lanteen X1 Pro and newest Doogee DG350 Pixels Hybrid Rom

- Fixes well known touch screen problem on Doogee DG350

- Camera App replaced with Google's Camera with working panorama mode (sorry, didnt like the lenovo cam)

- Supports Multilanguage - Magyar is the default language (Sorry for this, im from Hungary :) )

- Boot sound deleted

- Added our nice logo after Doogee logo :)

- Root accèss for "free" :)

- I kept the rom clean and simple, didnt add any extra stuffs like wallpapers or anything

Known bugs:

In Gallery if you want to edit photo -> FC :( (working on this)

Zip contains:

- Boot, System, Cache, Userdata images, we do not touch radio or anything else.

- Screenshots about the rom (Antutu gives for example 17084)

PLEASE BACK UP ALL OF YOUR DATA BEFORE FLASHING! AFTER FLASHING THE DEVICE MAKE A HARD RESET!

As usual, flash this for your own risk, we don't take any responsibility if your device gets damaged in any way!

You ay experience very few and occasional system microlags because i only had the new doogee firmware posted this year april...

Im testing the rom since almost a day and apart from the gallery photo edit FC didnt find any bugs, and I can say the touchscreen is a dream :)

Please verify me with trying the rom, and kindly report back, I really want to know what you think, but I bet you will be 99% happy :) :) :)

SP Flashtool needed to flash the rom:

http://digital4you.hu/DG350-SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1328.0.183.zip

My Sensitivity and Cam Fix Custom Rom:

http://digital4you.hu/Doogee_DG350-d4u-senscamfix.zip

CWM if somebody needs (with this cwm you wont get boot loop after settings->factory reset, very nice CWM)

Let me know how your device touchscreen works after installing the rom :)

Tibor
[Android General] Kasun117:
Hi ThExSenatoR,

Its great to see people working on the DG350 so thank you for that :) Also what version of CWM would we need for this to work? And can we flash this from the SD card by using CWM?
[Android General] ThExSenatoR:
Hi Kasun,

You need to use the linked SP Flashtool to flash the firmware, it is not possible to flash it through CWM and update.zip. Please backup your data before flashing, because the devices makes a hard reset after flash is ready.

Sorry, forgot to link the CWM what you can install... Its a nice CWM, doesnt stuck in boot loop if you make factory reset from setting -> ffactory reset.

CWM

http://digital4you.hu/CWM-DG350-14-0404.zip
[Android General] LupusWorax:
I tried to flash the original firmware but it messed up my dg350, after the first try I wasn't able to load the scatter file at all.

My doogee was a brick, not able to turn on or even load.

Was able to recover it by flashing a custom firmware ( umi x1) that wasn't even booting up as well but at least I could access the Recovery from where I restored an earlier backup.

Everything's back to normal but I lost my IMEI numbers, Have to restore them with NVRam backup which I luckily made when I received it.

So overall I am really questioning myself what doogee was thinking providing a firmware that bricks your phone in first place.

I even tried to load the scatter on several other pcs but it didn't worked as well.

Really disappointing :(

I also would use SP Flash tool version 5 instead of version 3, due to the fact its very old.

Did anyone from you guys had more luck????
[Android General] grojan:
Could you do it again, but without google camera?
[Android General] ThExSenatoR:
What is the problem with google camera? :)
[Android General] grojan:
Firstly, I don;t like google camera.

Secondly, Doogee statet that:"Dg350 will be public a type of software which can restore the bug of camera, please keep expecting on this"
[Android General] ThExSenatoR:
Dear Grojan,

We made a rom with a working camera application, where you are able to use the shutter button. This is not an original Doogee rom release, if you mind the working touch screen and the better camera application please dont install the rom., and wait until Doogee releases the next rom. (maybe never)
[Android General] grojan:
Dear ThExSenatoR,

First of all, I am owner of UMI x1 Pro.

I have installed Carliv Touch only and I have at the moment both, working touch screen and working shutter button in camera.

I haven't my language only.

There is nothing to be offensive.

Regards
