It is now 60 hours since charge and I still have 70%. Again all I did was flash the new rom, I had bassrockers before...I did no wipes during flash. I have WIFI, BT, and GPS on. It is mostls sitting unused but I pick it up, watch vids, surf a bit, then lay it down. Something has changed for the better for me. Used to be I had to always have charge devices with me.

I expect that with next test and simulating normal use it will run out more quickly...but something has definitely changed for the better.

What about battery in new update?

Sorry for my bad english
[Device Reviews and Information] lorvix:
what about version ?

i still seeing android version 4.4.2. some weeks ago i ask from doogee and they promise new 4.4.4 updated... is there somewhere changelog available ?
[Device Reviews and Information] abdulllllllllllllllllllll:
i flashed the new update from doogee and my phone doesn't recognize my 32 gb sd card anymore... 16 gb and 8gb cards can be read. and my IMEI number got deleted, but for some reason it doesn't have an effect on my connection... i hope the battery life is really improved much...
[Device Reviews and Information] binetp:
OK...did something stupid which interrupted my master plan. Last evening I had 70% battery after 62 hours of use following a full charge with only the new ROM flashed...no root, nothing...just raw ROM. I logged into google and had WIFI, BT, and GPS all activated. I did not have a SIM installed. I realised that the GSM was not being used which might account for the dramatic battery improvement. So I turned off the phone, put in a SIM, then restarted and I had 53%. Hard to make any interpretations from this. So I recharged and just pulled it from the cable...will let it run its course. For this test I want to use it very little...I'm most curious about the deep sleep mode.

From the last few days I can say that there seems to be a dramatic improvement in deep sleep state...that when phone not in use, it uses minimal resources. I've read that others are not experiencing this. I'm going to let this run down to zero with a couple phone calls, few websites, and coupe vids per day. After that will test again with normal use.

I'm no expert...this is my ninth mtk device...I'm sure there is a more scientific way to test this. It is a subjective opinion but it seems someone fixed something. Even with minimal use before the new ROM I could watch it drop.

I'll keep you all posted.
[Device Reviews and Information] baklawa:
Deep sleep mode works fine with this new ROM. The issue caused by the June OTA update seems to be fixed.

PS: the root method still works fine with this new ROM: flash the custom recovery with SP Flash Tools, enter the custom recovery and flash SuperSU.zip.
[Device Reviews and Information] binetp:
Schon recovery geflashed...Oops...english...already installed and all just fine. This fone is now almost magic. If anyone ever finds a way to increase WIFI reception, that would be great.Thanks for the confirmation Baklawa...there is a post from someone whe flashed but still had nbattery drain. For me it is working very well...go to bed with 87%, wake up with 84%.
[Device Reviews and Information] epower:
I flashed the new firmware as well. While the backtouchpanel is turned off, the phone doesn't go into deepsleep mode. Perhaps that could be a reason for a high battery drain. Now I have turned on the backtouchpanel, but disabled all the suboptions. At least this works for me and I'm happy with the battery usage (1d 13h 38min with battery, 1d 9h 18min Deep Sleep, 4h 19min Awake, 2h 22 min Screen On Time, Charge dropped from 100% to 40% -> 1,6%/h).

Should be possible by following this guide:

Just got this phone and I'd like stock 4.4.2/4.4.4

In broad strokes, can anyone give me a hand understanding how to load a stock version of kitkat on this phone? (If it is even possible?)

I'm aware of post #86 and JoshMcMadMac's great walk through, but not sure what comes next...

Many thanks!

under the app "music" you can go to the "soundeffects" to find it click on the left from hometab!
[Device Reviews and Information] baklawa:
You need to download and unpack the official KitKat ROM that you can find here http://www.doogee.cc/servicexiazai_detail/newsId=80.html

Then, use SP Flash Tool to flash it to the phone
[Device Reviews and Information] mrstef_:
Thanks for the reply mate. Just to clarify -- is this stock kitkat, or the stock 'Doogee branded' kitkat?

Thanks!
[Device Reviews and Information] p1n7as:
Its the Doogee branded kitkat!

And have some limitations. It's not possible to add lock screen widgets. Also the launcher is not stock kitkat,
[Device Reviews and Information] mrstef_:
Is there any way to load the google standard kitkat, without the doogee branding?
[Device Reviews and Information] baklawa:
A pure kitkat ROM cannot exist. For a particular phone, DG800 in this case, you need the proprietary drivers, the back touch panel SW, ... so the manufacturer has to cook its own ROM.

If you need the stock look & feel, you can use Google Now Launcher and it will look like stock kitkat.
[Device Reviews and Information] lorvix:
After hard thinking.....i made second try with new version of rom...like earlier, it's not good...battery charging very slow, and if wi-fi is on, it won't charge...and deep sleep mode still not work...so i go to back kitkat next from bass rockers and waiting better version... :crying:

Hello DG800 owners!

Do you recomend this phone, with "stock" rom the phone stable?

Thanks in advance!
[Device Reviews and Information] voiceferous:
Well, you could read through the pages to formulate your own opinion or ask the owners here, but speaking from the position I was in - contemplating to buy it - I decided it was not worth the investment due to, predominantly, the somewhat weak hardware and thus decided to purchase the DG310. It's more or less the same phone with few minor exceptions, cheaper as well, but it is a better built model, almost completely free of bugs and nagging issues so I would personally recommend that instead, but feel free to research or entertain different opinions.

Hello. I find this in system apk nfc service. I check in nfc check and show ,, nfc is built but not activated"
[Device Reviews and Information] albertocastillo2001:
Hello

How did you flash the phone? SP Flash Tool has several options.

Upon starting flash_tool.exe, the Download Agent box sets to MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin. Which I think it's a one for all file.

After that I load the Scatter file which loads the images into the program and indicates the starting and end addresses for the partitions.

But there's a combo box displaying the following options:

Download Only

MOTA SIU Like

Format All + Download

Firmware Upgrade

Download Only and Firmware upgrade both have all the partitions marked. I suppose both options flash the whole firmware without deleting anything else?. So it seems both options would do the same thing?

The options don't seem like the ones displayed in the flash tool help manual. I am using MediaTek SP Flash Tool v5.1408.00.100, which can be downloaded from the Doogee website

What about the other tabs of the software? Is there also any manual that explains this? Is this a full ROM by the way? Seems Format All + Download could be a good option. I suppose it would format all partitions prior to writing and you would start with a fresh phone just like new?

Also, what's with the XP drivers included? No Windows Vista, 7, 8 drivers included?

Thanks

fix dg800 GPS accuracy

Hi. I've applied a fix explained on youtube (I can't post links, try searching 'MTK Phone GPS Software Fix' or 'fix gps chinese phones'). I have not tried if it works (its 3:00am now).

Looks like a real workaround.

You don't have to install any apps nor root your phone, just dial *#*#3646633#*#* to enter Engineer mode and... well, try to find a video which starts this way (there are other workarounds where you have to install apps).

Excuse my poor english.

DG800 Deep Sleep Mode/Battery Life

In order to activate Deep Sleep mode try this (found on other forum)

1. Activate Back Touch Panel

2. Deselect all the options in the Back Touch Menu

It seems to be a problem related to the Back Touch Mode

The battery should also last longer.

I agree, also because the recovery who's inside latest update doesn't work to root back the phone! I did it in this way: flashed the update and the I flashed back the 1st recovery to get root again! Now everything works well, and battery is better. It can get 17 hours in which I do: 3 h of screen, 2 h of calling, a bit of wi-fi and a lot of whatsapp! I'm quite satisfied, can't complain!

When you do a factory update you will lose root, that is normal. You have to root a stock update just like you had to root the original rom.

USB host

Hello there,

I own a DG800, unrooted, running on June firmware. It worked all OK, but suddenly it stopped to be recognised by PC when I connect it via USB cable. The PC says the USB device has malfunctioned and can not be recognised. After a search online, I have installed USB Host Check, and it says:

android.hardware.usb.host.xml NOT FOUND

handheld_core_hardware.xml USB host not enabled

tablet_core_hardware.xml NOT FOUND

I did change the cables, PCs, also performed a soft and a hard reset/ Nothing helped me out.

Any help please, how to fix it?

Thanks.

Now battery is on 58% after 1d 11h 36mins!!!!! F@%& that's perfect! The phone used to hold just for 1 day or less.

I stated at the beginning of my message that phone is UNROOTED, and since it is not recognised via usb, I can't root it. The fix button at host check doesn't work and I can't have access to the system files, to replace the corrupted ones.

Any idea how to deal with this situation?

Frustrated user

Hi there.

I bought this phone a little under three months ago and up until recently I was having no problems with it bar the battery being weak but I knew this when getting it.

Since last week I cannot use my phone at all. It seems to just constantly hitting the back button by itself so if it try to open anything it automatically exits it. I have tried to reboot the phone and it still happened.

I am not too sure if it is a hardware problem or software but it is really frustrating and I would like to get it sorted.

Would anyone have any tips on what to do? I am not to sure if rooting it would help as I am not too sure of what it actually is

Regards,

Peter.
[Device Reviews and Information] lorenc75:
Simply I can not flash the phone, because it is not recognised on PC. The phone is not recognised with or without battery, when I try to flash it via SP flash tool.

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

It seems to me you have hit the phone with something sharp exactly at the place where is located the "back" capacitive button.

Try to gently rub that place with a soft fabric. Give it sometime and hopefully it will go away.
[Device Reviews and Information] JoshMcMadMac:
Have you ever dropped it or hit it on anything, ever? It sounds like the digitizer has gone bad. I had a similar issue, although the phone was dropped pretty hard a few times. I have a replacement digitizer on the way to hopefully resolve it. They are ~$12 on aliexpress.com.
[Device Reviews and Information] higginsp88:
Thanks

Yeah It dropped out of my pocket. I was thinking this May have had something to do with it.

How do you go about getting one of these and installing it?
[Device Reviews and Information] JoshMcMadMac:
You can order the replacement off of aliexpress.com. Installing it is somewhat involved, requiring pulling the phone apart. Watch a YouTube video or two on digitizer replacements (try a Samsung Galaxy S3/4/5 video) to get an idea of what you are getting into. If you think it is something you are up for, I can help you with specifics for getting the DG800 apart. It is not too bad compared to a lot of other phones, honestly.
[Device Reviews and Information] higginsp88:

Network coverage

Any US buyers here? My phone should be here next week. And I shall update you guys on most things. However, I was wondering what kind of 3G coverage you guys were getting. I am on T-mobile and I am not sure of my current area is one of the refarmed 1900mHZ spectrum areas for 3g on T-mobile. I fear that I might be stuck on just 2G. If so, It goes back on E-bay after a while.

Sad to see that framaroot doesn't provide root on this phone. From what I have seen other users have reported success on other Doogee phones.
