Installed this rom but cannot root it.

Also reverted to previous rom.
[Device Reviews and Information] ogeitga:
After my first short trip, the GPS seems to behave the same way. It gets the position very fast but the precision is bad during the journey and the speedometer doesn't work well either. I set a speed of 95 km/h in the car and the speedometer of Waze application gave numbers like 90,92,105,102... always going down and up while the car had a constant speed. So, nothing changed with this update for me :(
[Device Reviews and Information] lloco73:
Done it again.

Rooted it and cwm recovery also. Only thing is that i cannot make work "mount " on recovery

On this phone there are no calls list or is something that have to be activated?

Hi all

So I have one of these too, Phone loks nice, have it for about 5 months now, one thing i've noticed (as all of you did) is the crappy battery. Mine has come to a point here it almost only works when charging.

Trying to play a game or use youtube or any other task makes the phone either enter in bootloop or just shutdown. Battery goes from ~80% to 0% and phone shuts down.

I was wondering what rom version are you guys using, i have the november 18th compilation which solved nothing, battery is still very bad.

I'm thinking on trying to flash an older rom maybe even the one it came with from March to try to debug the battery issues but i'm almost certain its not rom related.

Still a bit disapointed with the two point only sensor nd the lack of a compass.

Had i known...
[Device Reviews and Information] nyirog:
Hi, I have the same problem. You cannot fix it, you have to buy new battery. Mine was 6$ on Tinydeal.com, and the battery lasts much longer than the original

Problem with camera

Hi. I've ordered a doogee dg800 which arrived yesterday. Unfortunately, the mobile phone has come without a camera icon! It seems that the device doesn't recognize that it has a camera. All the apps that use camera don't work.

Do you know how to solve this problem? I'm tempted to send the mobile back and ask for my money.

Thank you!
[Device Reviews and Information] kiwi46:
Camera problem

That's strange.

Have a look through your apps Choose "All" from the Apps menu in Settings and see if there is a camera app actually installed.

If not search Google Play and install Google Camera see if that works for you. It seems to be better as I can't find the landscape setting on the stock camera app.
[Device Reviews and Information] mmadvs:
Thanks! I did a firmware upgrade and now the icon appears. The problem is : when I try to run camera, it shows me an error message! I've made some research about this problem and found out that the kitkat version has caused some problems with cameras in some devices. Do you have any idea of the solution?
[Device Reviews and Information] Kamui_:
All of you who talk about problems...When you upgraded, did you use Download only or Firmware upgrade mode on SP Flash tools?
[Device Reviews and Information] kiwi46:
Camera problems

No solution really except that which I suggested in the last reply try the Google camera app which is supposed to be for Kit Kat and above devices. See if that works. If not you may have to get back to your supplier.
[Device Reviews and Information] Beat_Slayer:
I also believe that this is where the problem resides...
[Device Reviews and Information] mmadvs:
download only...
[Device Reviews and Information] Beat_Slayer:
That's strange...
[Device Reviews and Information] Kamui_:
Firmware update every every time. It's the safest way to have stable system after updates. The cons you need backups because you will lose your data
[Device Reviews and Information] Beat_Slayer:
That's exactly what I was thinking.

Been busy testing a mod for our cellphone, if all goes well I'll post it here tomorrow. ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] Beat_Slayer:
Has I promised yesterday, here it comes...

I've made a recovery flashable zip to increase the data partition of our device to 6GB.

Make a backup of your data partition with TiBu, boot into recovery, flash the zip attached, reboot and enjoy.

To revert the changes just flash your original EBR files with SPFlashTools, or flash the attached revert.zip.

Attention: Your data partition will be formatted, and you can't restore backups from CWM or TWRP, And as usual, I'm not responsible for bricked devices.

ROOT with the new ROM

How can I root the phone with the new ROM ( z869h-oq-k44-qhd-wg850p2100-emmc-64g8g_DOOGEE-VALENCIA-DG800-Android4.4-2014_11_18_release.tar ). The CWM recovery that I used (DG800_140507__recovery_140602-100634.img) is not working with this ROM. When I flash it and try to boot into recovery the phone freezes. Any help ? Thanks.

Buy a new battery?

So, does buying a new battery actually solve anything?

Yesterday my battery got sucked from 68% to 0% in about 20 minutes of web browsing (data).

The sudden charge drops are a pain in the arse as well.

Should I buy a new battery, is it going to last longer on one charge?
[Device Reviews and Information] beattact:
Yes and no. In the first month or so it will boost your performance a bit. After a while it wil be back on the old track, not to mention the batteries tend to thicken after a few months of use!

Safer at this point to stay with the official updates.

It's handy to have a spare battery on hand. They are cheap. At least the Doogee's are removable.

If your phone is rooted you could try one of the battery calibration apps available on Google Play. Maybe that will help.
[Device Reviews and Information] lloco73:
This have the same bug discription of the official doogee release, so it should be that one, and it says on the up left corner "official" if you follow the link.

cheers
[Device Reviews and Information] :
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I've got a rooted device and I have tried some battery calibration apps, but to no effect, sadly. I've already ordered a new battery, so I am going to give it another go when it arrives.

I am however still in the process of choosing a different phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] beattact:
If your okay with waiting till March, you really need to buy the ASUS Zenfone 2. Maybe have a look at that, its a beast of a phone :)
[Device Reviews and Information] :
I am quite fine with waiting. :) I've actually been browsing all sorts of phones for almost two or three months now, and I still haven't decided which one to choose to best suit my needs. I love the look and the display of LG Nexus 5, but I'm not sure if I want such an expensive phone (I sometimes work with cars, quite a risky enviroment for phones, it could get destroyed in a snap... that was also the main reason for buying a cheap chinese phone in the first place - so that i don't regret destroying it). Then there is the new Xiaomi Redmi 2, or Meizu M1, oooooor Motorola Moto G/X. I really don't know.

Anyway, thanks for the tip, I'll check it out when it's released. ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] beattact:
Has Doogee yet announced if they are going to update this phone to lollipop?
[Device Reviews and Information] :
Given the speed of them introducing new devices I highly doubt it, support is, practically speaking, non-existent. I'm done with it, I bought an LG G2, Doogee never again.

Hello! I have a problem with micro sdhc card. It can not be put in, it somehow stucks on the way in... It also turns a little to the right side, so you can't put it in in straight motion... Thank you.
[Device Reviews and Information] Beat_Slayer:
Are you sure you're inserting it the right way.

All the microSD cards have the same layout.
[Device Reviews and Information] j4nm4n:
I think so... You tell me :) i attached the picture... Sorry for potato quality.

It seems the connectors in the phone are a bit to right and the sd card rotates a bit when you push it inside. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
[Device Reviews and Information] Beat_Slayer:
The picture it's a little blurred, but it seems you're inserting it in the upper slot from the SIM card, it should go on the lower slot.
[Device Reviews and Information] NoobieExtraordinare:
I haven't personally, but it uses vroot and I believe it has the same issue as framaroot I. E. Won't work with updated bootloaders I. E. 4.3 and above. This phone is unique in the sense that it is first Chinese MTK phone with kitkat. I guess we have to wait for someone to figure out an exploit to root it. Once I get my phone this week, I update if one of the root methods worked.
[Device Reviews and Information] shikhar623:
well that's a personal opinion. whether you want full functionality offered by the hardware or not , its upto you. I feel that a "Smartphone" isn't smart if it isn't rooted... ;)

[Device Reviews and Information] NoobieExtraordinare:
My thoughts / Review

I have had about 48 hours to play with the phone and here are my thoughts. Give you my overall /positive thoughts first and then the downsides.

The build quality is decent for the price, nothing really creaks or gives. Feels good in the hand.

The is has good color, saturation and brightness and even though its only a qHD display things appear quite crisp.

The speaker is loud enough and sound quality on calls is good.

The wifi is decent, signal strength doesn't hold well.

The first MTK phone where the GPS works out of the box. I got a signal lock indoors within about 15 seconds to about 4 satellites.

Forget root. None of the root options work. Stay away from VROOT. potential malware, seems to open up spurious ports on PC and downloads other garbage apps on phone.

Now the bad:

Although the wifi is b/g/n capable it only connects to the 2.4GZ spectrum no 5GZ here.

Touch on the screen is absolute crap. Let me explain. It is exactly a 2 point touch screen. Does not register any more touches. Also when both touch points are brought to within 1.5 cm of each other, they coalesce into one spot. So for eg. if you want to configure your third party launch to trigger something with a two finger swipe up or down, two simultaneous touches that close will not register and hence that functionality is off

limits.

Im on T-mobile in the US and in order for me to get 3G I need both the 1700/2100 spectrum of WCDMA. This only supports 2100 and I am not in a re-farmed area where I can receive 3g vai the 1900 spectrum. So all i got was EDGE (1G). So that's like 1999 data speeds.

The camera is OK at best. Picture quality is rather poor (both front and back; a lot of noise) and there is a significant shutter lag.

Google camera works on it.

Hangouts crashes and fails to function.

The battery is decent, but cant really comment on longevity.

Some of you reading this might say, "well, what do you expect fro that price?" and yes, you might be right. But for me this is a crap phone and is going back on Ebay.

Hope this helped some of you.

Cheers
[Device Reviews and Information] Xperia-Ray:
Thank you for you review- it is really helpful!

I am surprised about the touch screen- How could they choose 2 point touch screen on this price range on 2014?? this is unacceptable!

DooGee must change their touch screen supplier! I see that this is the most common complain about their latest smartphones- what is wrong with them?

I was waiting for the second batch and now I don't know what to do, also the DG550 got delayed for who knows when- I really don't like it- those devices were my favorite for my family :(

about the screen with the 2 point touch screen what do u mean?? i have ordred the phone and i am really sad with this.. the other phones have 5 point multi touch.. right? how does this disandantage affect the daily use of the phone?

GPS accuracy and EPO download

Hello,

I try to fine tune the GPS settings. I have installed MobileUncle Tools and entered the EPO settings but I get a different screen than the one I expect, it looks like I cannot force the EPO download as shown below.

Would it mean that EPO download is done on a regular basis on a MTK6582 ? Pressing the EPO (download) button has no effect
[Device Reviews and Information] gvekiaris:
As I know mobileuncle tools are working only on ROOTED devices

And DG800 can not be rooted !!!

So maybe this is your case.....

Can u increase the volumes levels?
[Device Reviews and Information] baklawa:
Not sure I need root to use MobileUncle MTK tools. By the way I have downloaded the EPO files manually from my PC.

What is sure is that we need to find a way to root this phone
[Device Reviews and Information] j4nm4n:
Thank you for your reply, but I think that is not it... I think its manufacturers' mistake...

Again, I attached the file. I think I am inserting the card correctly and it allways stucks no matter what you do... I will contact the seller and find a sollution... Cutting card's edges is not an option I think??... heh

Mother-in law's phone has no touch!

Phone worked fine til couple weeks ago. Then began sporadic touch problems. Works reset with wipes using cwm recovery. No touch at all. Phone boots with that ghastly Barry White let's get sexy boot-sound, then boots to the initial boot screen for Setup where you need to choose country. Entire screen does not respond, even soft touch buttons at bottom. This is the case with back-touch cover and cover without back touch.

With SIM insterted it boots to the country choice screen, then immediately switches to the SIM PIN code screen...also no touch.

I have flashed the original ROM after all wipes, have tried ROMs with CWM, other custom ROMs.

Touch is gone.

I am pleading with the wizards here who understand the meaning of being responsible to fix mother-in-law's phone!
[Device Reviews and Information] Retseem:
Can you also make one with a pit file for 1GB System and 4GB Data rest SD?
[Device Reviews and Information] Retseem:
Anyone had this problem?

Sometimes the phone just starts making pictures by itself.

My mother has a valencia and when she closes the camera app very often it still makes pictures afterwards or phone starts making pictures inside the pocket of her jacket.

And my girlfriend also has one and sometimes she hears the shutter sound and then the phone is taking pictures from the inside of the handbag, even when the bag is just laying around somewhere.

Both my mother and my gf pretty often find lots of unknown pictures the phone took by itself when opening the Gallery.

It's pretty annoying, cause you have to delete a lot of photo's every day and the worst thing of course is that these phones are owned by women so they start complaining and won't stop with that until it is fixed.

Both phones have the stock ROM (from August 2014 I believe) and back touch and all gestures stuff disabled.

Android One ROM

Hello everyone,

I just want to ask why can't flash rom from Android One device with mtk6582 ? Even Google and CyanogenMod are distributing one ROM for all Android One device. So why don't we can gain fresh updates from Google for our mtk6582 based phones ? Please someone explain this to me.

Thanks for answers
[Device Reviews and Information] beattact:
Ik not a pro in this part of android, but this is my guess: it has to do with the kernel of the devices, they are the same in the android one devices. Otherwise i would have no clue! Hope this helps :)
[Device Reviews and Information] mako2580:
Yeah but I didn't ask why they can use the same ROM but why can't we use that ROM. We have the same specs, maybe we use different drivers for camera or lcd but couldn't they be copied from stock kitkat rom ?

Any help?

Here it's a little mod I made to merge the cell signal icon with the wifi one, inspired by a similar mod I've seen from TickleFish.

As always make a backup of the system, and then flash the zip attached from the recovery.

v2

To revert to stock just flash the attached revert.zip from recovery. :p
