Received my DG550 from Dinodirect. I thought they scammed me but it arrived here safely after 20 days.

Purchased another DG550 from ebay because I thought Dinodirect scammed me. I will gift the extra DG550 to my sister :D

About the device:

I'm very happy with the device and everything seems to be working well.

The screen is great. DPI is 267 as per the calculations but when compared it with other 267dpi devices I can say DG550 is the winner. I don't know exact reason for that but DG550's screen is almost retina. I wasn't expecting this much quality from a 720p 5.5" screen.

It is bit heavy but I can manage it.

Device looks pretty compared to present flagship phones in the market.

I ordered a smart flip cover from aliexpress too and it works well too.

Only down side about that is the rom doesn't contain S view functionality so it simply switches off the screen when the flip cover is closed. No missed call, message alerts or whatever. Only the clock is visible through the smart cover opening. S view apps available in play store do not work well because they use proximity sensor to detect the flip cover. That's a waste of battery.

Camera is nice (still images and video) but that's not the best smart phone camera I have ever seen.

Supplied headset is a crap. I tried a blackberry in ear headphone (obviously modified to use it with DG550) which I was using past few years because of it's good sound quality and deep bass. But when using it with my DG550 it gives lower bass comparing to my other devices. I think that is software related :)

The battery drains fast when the screen is on. I can get 1 day battery with moderate use.

Hope my review will help you to get an idea about DG550.

And sorry for my bad English :eek:

I flashed the stock rom by following the Doogee'd official youtube video.

I'm using windows 8.1 so here are the steps on how to flash the stock rom in order to rectify the earpiece low volume :)

The supplied drivers found under the youtube video do not support windows 8.1 so if you are using windows 8.1 you need to download the following drivers pack.

mtk6592_pdanet_adb_vcom_drivers (Search it on google)

After installing that,

1. Switch off the phone and remove battery.

2. Insert the battery and immediately connect the micro usb cable (the other side of the cable should be connected to the PC prior to that :laugh: )

3. PC will recognize the device and it will install the mtk6592_pdanet_adb_vcom_driver. Disconnect the device and remove the battery after the driver installation is completed.

4. Now unzip the SP flash tool zip file and open the tool

5. Unzip the rom zip file

6. Click scatter loading button on SP flash tool and browse the folder where you unzipped the rom

7. Select MT6592_Android_scatter file (That's a text file)

8. Select Firmware upgrade from the drop down menu and click Download button

9. Now connect the devise as I mentioned in step 2 :)

10. Wait until it finishes flashing the rom ;)

(Watch doogee's official video along with my guide so you will understand it clearly)

Hope this helps ;)
