Coverage problem...

Well today I upgraded my android 4.4.2 dg550 to kitkat, but I had a problem. The coverage :(sim card stops working after 10 minutes and did not return until the phone reboot. And I'm back to the previous version and this does not happen to me. Someone can help me? I just want to have my dg550 kitkat ... Thanks. :(
[Android General] Mattthev:
Flash again, full wipe before flashing.
[Android General] isam09:
If I already flashed and I have done wipes but the problem remains the same. But when I return to install android 4.2.9 the problem disappears.
[Android General] JoshMcMadMac:
Doogee has announced issues with the 4.4 update and encourage users to remain on 4.2. They are supposed to be working on fixing it. :(
[Android General] vampirefo:
I read that also, hats off to Doogee for coming forward and letting users know.

I really hope they fix the KitKat update soon!

I just ordered this phone today from iRulu on Amazon. I have Amazon Prime and got free 2-day shipping included with my order. I'm expecting it on Wednesday which is great since I'm off that day,

This is going to be my first Mediatek phone, and I really jumped the gun to go with 8 cores, but I'm so used to Snapdragon 800's that I needed something at least semi-comparable and this phone was perfect.

This will be a great replacement phone while I try and unbrick my G Flex (Thanks AT&T OTA...), AND if I like the Dagger better, I might just sell my Flex after I fix it :)

*Crossing my fingers mine won't have any hardware defects*

I just flashed back to the 4.2.9 and it runs more smoothly and battery life is better. Don't hold your breath for KitKat...sounds like Doogee have determined that the hardware is not KK compatible. best we can hope for is custom variants of 4.2.9.

Except for disappointing GPS performance I really like the fone.
[Android General] vampirefo:
What's wrong with the GPS?

sent from my kingSing T1 via taptalk
[Android General] binetp:
Just won't fix...tried all the usual trix...no luck. With ygps i see 13 sats with 5 fixed, but when i go to navigate no fix. I ordered a gps repeater mouse, brings full sat signal right inside car...fingers crossed.
[Android General] Dr Swag Daddy:
Hmm. That IS disappointing but it can't be that the hardware isn't compatible. I'm sure it is they're probably not willing to put in the work...

Anyway are there any custom 4.4 roms that would run with mostly all hardware working properly? I can deal with a few FC's here and there or like the cam not working if it means I can upgrade, but battery life has to work properly and Wifi, I can live with 2g speeds here on AT&T.

If not I hope development picks up on it..

=============================

I do not understand your issue, I have the DG550 on Straight Talk which uses ATT service and I get 3G fine.

I have two issues, one is the speaker is not loud enough and two the mic is on the back.

I have installed KitKat and it did not fix the speaker issues.

One additional tidbit, cannot sort contacts by last name, no menu item exist in KitKat like 4.2.

---------- Post added at 03:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 AM ----------

I have had the DG550 for almost a week...

I like everything about the phone almost, and the speakers are a killer for a phone.

I have the DG550 on Straight Talk which uses ATT service and I get 3G fine.

I have two issues,

1) is the ear speaker and speaker mode speaker neither are loud or clear enough

2) the mic is on the back, lay it down and you are and you cannot hear or speak very well

I have installed KitKat and it did not fix the speaker issues.

One additional tidbit, cannot sort contacts by last name, no menu item exist in KitKat like it did in 4.2.

Not trying to be funny...reLLY:::BUT AS I FIRST GOT MY PHONE i WAS PISSED OFF THAT IT WOULD ONLY CONNECT WITH "G:::DROVE ME CRAZY:::ALL OTHER FONES SHOW h* RIGHT AWAY:...freakin CAPS lock!!! Sorry bout that!

Then I wandered around the Settings labyrinth and clicked on Settings, then 4 lines under SIM management clicked on More, then click on Mobile Networks, and voila...there before my eyes...3G- Services!!! I needed to activate 3G.

Now works like expected. It's a stupid thing to do...should just be activated.

Maybe this is magic info for you too?
[Android General] totallybeachin:
Well, consider yourself lucky I guess.

I did everything I could for the better part of a week trying to figure out how to get 3G on this phone with y ST SIM.....and I went into the settings and made sure 3G was activated and anything else I could think of....all to no avail. Even after having conversations with customer service, there was nothing I could so that would get it to work......

It even states on DOGEE'S website this phone only operates on 2G on the bands used by AT&T.

Maybe you got a fake and your being tricked into thinking you are on 3G...?

Rom backup

Good to all holders of outstanding phone dagger DG 550.

Just get mine and everything works perfectly from the very good speakers, the GPs in the irst use only took 1 minute to enable the satellites is now immediately have a HDC note 3 and this is the very same level ... good ..

But lets get down to ..

I did the root with frameroot and everything was a wonder routed unit, now I need your help to make a backup of my rom linpo, and do not know how to do, only the userdata, and wanted the complete and clean rom as it is coming from factory ..

sorry testament .. but this phone is very good ...
[Android General] JoshMcMadMac:
I get great H+ 3G coverage on my DG550 with AT&T. It only has the 850MHz band, but it works perfectly for me. Have you made sure your APN settings are correct and you have a 3G Sim card? Are you sure you are in a 3G coverage area?
[Android General] binetp:
Root is not going to help you make backup, you need a recovery.img which has ben designed to do just that. I have a CWM Recovery here but I can't upload the file.

[Android General] binetp:
Not sure what to think. Doogee says because of problems with KK they recommend staying with JB...but more and more posts here boast smooth reliable performance with KK. After install the 08.18.2014 official ROM from Needrom shows 08.15.2014 in Settings. Maybe tomorrow I'll do a cwm backup then try again...I'm a glutton for punishment!

I dont now for shore but more than 10 hours...Right now I am atenting to change the internal memory to the external ...but I can not find the vold.fstab....cam anyone help.....
[Android General] Dr Swag Daddy:
I flashed the 4.4.2 rom, I think it was the official build since it still had the DooGee icons, locker, ect.

Anyway I couldn't be happier with it. I'm noticing at least 1.5x better battery life and it's much more stable with Nova.

If you haven't tried it yet I highly recommend it to everybody. I haven't tried GPS yet but litterally EVERYTHING else works great if not better. I'll try GPS tomorrow but even if it doesn't work, there's no way i'll be going back to JB, not after this.

I've had mine for a little less then a week. While I was on "4.2.9" I was getting terrible battery life, 10 hours at best with moderate use. I upgraded to KitKat off Needrom, and it has significantly improved so far. I just did the upgrade today but from what I've seen, maybe 14-15 hours moderate use.
[Android General] binetp:
Newly discovered problems

Thought my life with JBwas great until I needed to make several calls today. All calls...and I mean all...cut off after about 30 seconds. I will go back to KK and keep fingers crossed! Our first marriage didn't last too long...let's see how she treats me this time.
[Android General] zijin_cheng:
Interesting. Yours and OP's battery life reports seem to differ. he got 10 hours of SOT over 15 hours total standby, and is only down to 60%, while you have about 15 hours of moderate use, which definitely isn't 10 hours of SOT I'm guessing.

Do you (or anyone else) mind posting your battery screenshots with SOT? Would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Did you mean 10 hours of SOT, and now you get 14-15 hours SOT?

Xposed framework

Someone knows if there is any version of xposed framework that works in version 4.2.9 dg550 with stock? Thank you.
[Android General] binetp:
This is a real head-scratcher!!! I dloaded from doogee the KK version, wiped, dalvik wipe, installed. Loaded a few apps...all seemed well. Then I wanted to try GPS...the source of many headaches. I installed faster gps and GPS Status. Went outside, turned on Faster GPS...actually another way to the ygps page...and it took 4 seconds to find 13 sats, after total 6 seconds 7 fixed with much more signal than with JB. Then I turned on GPS Status...and this is where I had so many problems...I could never get a fix. If it did fix,it was with 3-4 sats and would disappear after a few seconds.

Well, what can I say, seeing is believing...I opened GPS Status and before my eyes could focus on the screen I had 7 fixed with 2-3 meters accuracy!

I had this ROM already loaded several weeks ago, read that Doogee warned of unfixable problems, and due to my extensive problems went back to JB. Now I load the same KK ROM and it is like a whole new beast!!! Why? Could it be that I didn't do a wipe...Dalvik too?

In any case, I am once again a satisfied Dagger user.

Good to all users of this magnificent thablet ..

first of all I have upgraded my same day we arrived, is now a week ..

everything works like a charm ..

3G + H --- works in all slots and comes with a lot of power in places with my hdc had two strokes in daager have full ...

GPS works ... straight with MEO GPS, or any other, ...

WIFI .... once again with strong power, HDC my 2 strokes, this optimal overall ... ..

Launcher used ... Nova launcher ... perfect ...

BATTERY ..... with almost extreme use this weekend, with gps, movies, games, 10-12 hours, but always with Management battery connected economy, with normal use, gives quite a day of use with some calls, internet, some play on the net, like clash of clans ..

ie does not compromise anything with the kit kat, even improved a lot compared to my hdc that meets jelybeen (4.3) ...

I can tell you that I would strongly recommend this phone, the only thing that could improve and RAM (instead of having 1G 2G) ....

.................................................. ..............................

in terms of the photos on battery not know which program to take ....

........................................

The only thing that can help me, and I have searched a lot but nothing to give, is how to reverse the internal memory by external, has 16G internal and external 32G (class 10/1, with a rate 48 mgb / s)

as well as install the frameworks that work in kitkat ..

from already thank you very much ....

[Android General] normanLinux:
Sorry I'm a bit late, but 2100 is the norm here, in England. I understand that O2 also have 900 - which our Daggers don't support.

The problem is more likely due to not having the Access Point (aka APN) set for your service. I'm with Virgin and they send settings for different phones - but not for this one. Had to set it up manually, and received contradictory information from 2 different online Virgin sources. Eventually copied it from a friend's setup. Then make sure that the APN is selected and tell it to connect automatically to the network.

Mine now works perfectly except for a small glitch which is that when I'm indoors at home the phone thinks that I'm roaming! (I have confirmation that roaming is off on my account and there are no roaming charges appearing!)

I tell it to connect to the network and it is fine then, a short while later it thinks that I'm roaming. Spent yesterday in London and had fantastic (non-roaming) 3G coverage - including coming home on the train. used the GPS for the first time - it was fast and accurate.

First couple of charges the battery life was bad but now, after a few charges, its fine

Strange... My battery life is really bad. I can barely get 6,5 hours using Wi-Fi... My bride's DG310 has a much better battery life.

If I use my Dagger (Oh, I love to say that) until it reaches zero and then charge it for twelve hours, will it get better or I'll need to buy another battery?

and you need to leave battery out to flash it

Adarsh P. S. I can not answer to your comment here on Youtube. But the reason that you have to connect it without the battery is that it else just start to charge the phone through the USB cable. If you can not remove the battery, first try to check if it starts the charging when connected, if it does, try again but you will need to find a button or combination to hold down while you actually connect it. For example, hold volume up button when you then connect it, or maybe home plus volume up, etc. each phone can have another combination, so when connected it will not start the charging but will connect through the VCOM preloader, that is needed to be able to flash the device. It can sometimes be tricky to find the right combo, but try everything you can.﻿

Rooting Doogee and flashing KitKat ROM

Hi people,

I recently purchased my Dagger DG550 , and overally I'm impressed with it, but have a few issues.

1. You can't really see the app name if you group apps on your home screen).

2. The 2GB application storage limit is actually a problem

Hence I decided I'd like to root it and install a custom ROM, while changing the storage allocated to apps.

I've only rooted one other device before (My old Motorola Xoom Tablet), and I haven't found any proper walkthroughs that I could fully understand for the Doogee. Please assist

Hello, i have a doogee 550 with kitkat rom (after update). Everything works great except for the battery indication. Battery usually lasts about 3 or 4 days with typical usage but the percentage of the indicator doesnt decrease smooth. The unpleasant result is that although it indicates about 40% it might close with unchanged battery in a few moments. Can anyone suggest anything?

bad bugs upgrading to kitkat.

first my phone reboots when i plug it in for charging and then the charging is making 4 and a half hours and still 96%,very slow charging. With 4.2. i was 100% in less than two hours.

i am downgrading to 4.2.

I JUST saw an update for dagger in doogee.cc with 4.2 rom Build number：Android 4.2 - 11-17

Update Content:

compatible for new camera.
[Android General] JoshMcMadMac:
I have had good luck with the AOSP 3.0 rom from needrom.com, and it looks like the newer versions are doing great too. You may want to check them out.
[Android General] oleg77:
How did you upgrade exactly ? Did you wipe the phone, have you done a factory reset ? Or at least wipe cache and dalvik after flashing, from recovery ? I have just bought one for my girlfriend, still in 4.2.9, so i'm interested to know if update, official or AOSP, leads to bugs...

Thank you
[Android General] jukecash:
After changing

Seven times roms with sp flash tools i ended up in 4.2.9 and after that i passed to kitkat4aosp by baldos81 in needrom which i beliveve is the best. But unfortunatelly i paid the cost of messing the IC charging chip in the first time i put the official.

So my advize to you is not to mess with the phone because the 4.2.9 has no other issues except the 1,5 gb space for apps which can be controlled by putting the apps in the micro sd.

My conclusion for the phone is that for thr money is ok, but expect a sensitive case with the screen coming a little more sensitive. Mine already from the one side started to come off like one or two milimeters. The quality that i expected seeing the doogees factory videos in youtube was much better.

Does anybody has make the blue devils eye as notification led? The gravity box doesnt fix it. It would be nice to work
[Android General] jcabad:
Sorry for replying one month after, but I have read your question now. Just in case, I am using this ROM time ago and I am very happy; it has no bugs, everything is smooth and battery consumtion is normal. There is a discuison in Needrom about if it is really a Cyanogenmod or not; I don't know if it is or not, but until now is for me the best ROM for DG550
