Good grief. Antelife neither invented the dg800 digitizer nor do they hold the divine rights to sell it. Surely other vendors distribute this as well.

Which by the way is besides the point, namely, that antelife are fraudulent entity and must be avoided as noted for the umpteenth time, a fact you conveniently and continuously ignore.

Just because I'm not pointing to a web site does NOT mean antelife are the only ones "selling" this.

Whilst I may not point him to a direct link for purchase - you're leading him to a swindlers lair where he's promised to lose his money. Doing him a favour?

Oh look, an ebay listing for this part, must be better than the crooks you're pushing him towards.

Thank you very much. Could you please explain what are the different options from the combo box? Format All and Download seems interesting too, but not sure.

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] JoshMcMadMac:
I am afraid I am not of much help there, other than I know enough not to mess with the other options. Download only is what we need to get it on the phone to update it, and most of the other options have a high potential for getting us into trouble.
[Device Reviews and Information] albertocastillo2001:
Thank you very much! The help file included with SP FLash tool is outdated too apparently

So I guess best option to install the new ROM would be flashing the phone using download only and restore factory defaults (thru recovery or thru Android's "Restore factory" option in Settings. Right?
[Device Reviews and Information] JoshMcMadMac:
If you are flashing an official ROM, do it through the computer. It should be a .IMG file. If it is a custom ROM that is a .zip file, you would use a custom recovery to flash it.
[Device Reviews and Information] albertocastillo2001:
Yea, I was speaking about the official ROM that got released a few days ago.

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] lorvix:
i try this newest official rom again...but it's take all my battery power too soon, with backtouch and without backtouch...so again i go back to bassrockers release and everything works fine..no battery drain...

2G only?

Hi,

I think it would be good to have an option to switch 3G completely off and use only 2G. This can improve battery life a lot - experience from my last phne was 1,5 days to 4 days. Is it somehow possible to switch to 2G-only mode? I can see "2G/3G" and "3G only" in the settings. Is this hardware or software related?

Thanks!
[Device Reviews and Information] kiwi1346:
Thanks for that this one seems to be even better.:laugh:
[Device Reviews and Information] thekaiser91:
It's quite easy, go to: setting -> more -> mobile networks -> 3G service -> enable 3G, at this time you switch it on off and it's done! :good:
[Device Reviews and Information] petr.kocandrle:
Ah, I missed that, thanks a lot!

One more problem with the phone - when I listen to music in car connected aux in to headphones output the music suddenly pauses and I have to unpause. When it starts happening it becomes unusable - it pauses itself everytime I unpause it after a few seconds, sometimes after a few minutes. When I restart the phone, it goes away for a while but starts happening again after several songs. I tried different music player (VLC) which is a little better - it unpauses automatically in a second, but it is impossible to listen to such a mess. I haven't experience that with headphones so I wonder what is the trigger for that. In the car the phone is connected via bluetooth to the car radio for phone calls but not for audio (the car radio does not support A2DP). But IIRC I also experienced that without the bluetooth connection. I experienced that with stock ROM (2.7.2014) and also with bassrocker's ROM which I'm using now, still haven't tried the latest ROM. Any tips what can be the cause and how to get rid of it?

Hi,

anyone with the bass rockers rom have notice that the back touch does not work properly?

Im my case, by double tapping the back touch, it opens the camera app, but once there, it's not possible to take a picture with one click on the back touch, or switch camera by long press the back touch.

some problems on google drive ? can't download anything,,,,i want only newest flashtool... :confused:
[Device Reviews and Information] sdomox:
I had the same issue. It seems that the phone can't go into deep sleep mode because of the OTA (Wireless Update).

What I did was to change the Wireless Update setting to its maximum value. After this, my phone goes into deep sleep mode.

If you are still having this issue, try to kill the Wireless Update process (should be running in the background).

[Device Reviews and Information] dfavre.ch:
Hi,

I just received (last week) a DG800 and I have problems with the GPS.

My version: DOOGEE-VALENCIA-DG800-Androi4.4-2014_08_29

GPS & 3G are enabled.

Inside coverage: none. Even near a window.

Outside coverage: strange... When I use Mobileuncle Tools to check the GPS, the fix is quick and I get 4-8 satellites. The accuracy is at around 4m after 1 minute.

But these numbers don't match with my observations ! When I move, even by foot, the GPS don't "follow" me. The position change only every 30 secondes, and the accuracy is sometimes 20-30m (in reality; the numbers keeps saying 4-5m).

The GPS keeps jumping from 20m to 20m.

I observed the same thing when I use:

-google maps (browser)

-ingress (game)

-the map function that is available when you use Mobileuncle Tools (Location>Location Based Services>map

Any idea? Does anyone have the same specific problems?

Thanks

GPS is a problem with these phones

Try the "AndroiTS GPS" app and leave it running in the background. I use the "Be-on-Road app" for GPS navigation.

[MENTION=238861]kiwi[/MENTION]> Thanks, I'll try.

Today, 3 new problems. I charged the phone this morning. At 1 pm, there was around 55% battery left. I shut down the screen.

At 3pm I checked something on thephone. It was off battery !! I quickly charged it to check the battery informations. The graphs shows a sudden drop from 55% to 0% ! (see print screen).

Does that look like a battery problem, or a phone problem?

2nd one: The phone is not recognized by computers when I connect it with the USB cable. Nor with a Mac neither with an Acer notebook.

And the final one: the phone keep crashing when I log in gmail if I'm using the web browser. But Gmail apps works fine.

Exhausting :rolleyes:
[Device Reviews and Information] thekaiser91:
try to get an full wipe and then flash the latest rom! If you can't get into recovery, type this: *#*#7780#*#* and then you should go into recovery to get an hard reset!
[Device Reviews and Information] dfavre.ch:
I tried AndroiTS GPS. The problem is still the same:

-Quick fix

-Good accuracy (4-6m)

-The accuracy provided is wrong !

In the screen, I should be inside the blue circle (6m). My real position is 42m away (black target).

How is it possible that the GPS can catch many satellites and obtain a good accuracy, but that my position on maps stays totally wrong?!

battery and usb-connect problems

i have the same problems...one day i lost the PC-recognition ...the akku was on 35% and after 10min. it was 0% !...but that happened only two times!
[Device Reviews and Information] petr.kocandrle:
That's what happened to me yesterday. I was wondering how did I achieve such a great battery life - 35% after more than 2 days. Suddenly in 10 mins the phone was dead.
[Device Reviews and Information] kiwi1346:
Yeah. Unfortunately GPS seems to be an issue with these phones. I have tried a number of solutions [most of them suggested on this forum] and this is the best I could find but it is far from perfect.

Bottom line if GPS navigation is important to you perhaps this phone is not the one to buy. Apart from that it is excellent value for money.

Unlike a number of other comments on this forum I have excellent WIFI performance.

Phone was purchased direct from Doogee.
[Device Reviews and Information] petr.kocandrle:
I have 2 wifi signal experiences - first I used the coloured back cover and the signal was very weak even when I was sitting next to my AP, then I replaced it by the white one with touchpad and now the signal is much better. The materials of those 2 covers seem to play major role in wifi signal shielding. Which cover do you use?
[Device Reviews and Information] kiwi1346:
Thanks for the tip. I'm using the original white cover but the phone is in a leather case which imo shouldn't be an issue. Having said that, I am finding that Mapfactor GPS is finding satellites accurately and reasonably quickly even from inside whereas BE On Road which I preferred needed to have the Androit GPS App running in the background. So all is not lost.
[Device Reviews and Information] jvybihal:
I do not use DG800 much (mainly because of ****ty GPS and horrible multitouch), but battery life is quite ok I think. With previous firmware, the deepsleep did not work, but now it's deffinitelz working (see attached screenshot).

Btw does anyone else have this?: When I use two fingers on screen, and they are close each other, it doesnt register two touch points, but instead it registers one touch point exactly in the middle of two points where I am touching. For example, Ingress is extremely hard to play because of this.

Root dg800

I made it! Rooted my phone with kingo root.

The difficult part is to install the drivers. :)

I rooted in fast boot mode. (volume up & power, fast boot).
[Device Reviews and Information] kiwi46:
There is a good thread on page 25 of this thread which explains how to root these phones
[Device Reviews and Information] csepe43:
Please write step-by-step!
[Device Reviews and Information] vag2616:
1. Download kingo root

2.Download "all mtk drivers" (many pages have this)

3.Connect phone (on stanby) to pc and wait until windows recognize the device

4.Power off phone, disconect and then restart with volume up and power button

5.Select fast boot (volume up to move, volume down to select), connect to pc and wait until windows recognize the device

6.Then start kingo root ( up right it says in red words fast boot).

7.Cross fingers and dont blame me if anything goes wrong. (This is how i did it and i have no idea about programing)

PS. If phone freeze to fast boot, then disconnect battery. Kingo root will see phone as HTC. It is very simple root process but install drivers was hard for me.
[Device Reviews and Information] csepe43:

Root and data

Hi all,

I have a question (maybe a stupid question...).

I want only to root my phone without upgrade firmware.

I gonna make root with the root method described in post #86 (with SP Flash tool ecc).

The question is:

Using this method, I lose all the data and all the app stored, or not?

Thanks to all!
[Device Reviews and Information] baklawa:
You won't lose anything

Make sure you only flash the custom recovery and not the full rom

hello, I have a very strange problem, when I plug the phone to your pc without the battery for root , I properly recognize the device but after about 3 seconds the phone will disconnect and then reconnect to infinity, I tried it with 3 other usb cables and 5 different PCs but does the same, is there any solution? Thanks in advance for your response.
[Device Reviews and Information] baklawa:
This is not a bug, it happens to mine as well.

To use SP Flash Tools, you select your package, click download andTHEN you plug the phone. The download process will start and the phone won't get disconnected

A ok perfect , I thought it was a problem of my doogee, so no problems I can make the flash to put the recovery, thanks for the reply

PS: Alright I did successfully root thanks!
[Device Reviews and Information] baklawa:
The touch screen is from my point of the view the biggest weakness of this phone. You can install Multitouch Test from the Play Store to know more about its limitations.

For your file transfer issue I have no clue
[Device Reviews and Information] tehcereal:
I tested it and the problem is that it doesnt register two fingers when placed on the same horizontal line. I solved the transfer issue with installing x-plore for some reason total commander didnt work. And solved the wifi nvram error.

I have another problem now because SuperSU updated itself and now asks to update the SU bynary. What should i do now?
[Device Reviews and Information] baklawa:
You can update su binary from SuperSU, it everytime worked for me

Ok i have a strange problem now.

After rooting my phone everything worked as supposed but after i got the notification that SuperSU was updated and i tried to update the binary it didnt work. Then i accidentally pressed vol DOWN and power instead vol UP and a Chinese "recovery" screen popped up and it started to scroll through the menu options automatically the phone buttons in that menu do nothing so i needed to pop the battery out. The phone boots correctly now but im afraid i messed something up.

How can i update SuperSU? And what would be the procedure to unroot the phone and get to the original factory state of the phone. Thank you.

Hi!

I got a DG800 from to2c too. The speaker does not work out of the box. It does not ring, do alarm, play music, FM radio on the speaker. Headphones are ok.

Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm very disappointed, it is unusable in this condition.

Thanks!
[Device Reviews and Information] thekaiser91:
Report that to the seller and gibe him back the phone, asking for a sostitution
[Device Reviews and Information] demodl:
Yeah, sending back costs a lot :(

I started applying some pressure to the bottom (i.e. push with fingers), next to the speaker, and magic, I have sound.

Which leads to: now I can't send it back (as it works, at the moment), I have no idea how long or how reliably it would work. Missing an alarm would be really painful... Or if it just stopped working after a while.

I'll see what happens.

I wonder what kind of contact problem this was...
[Device Reviews and Information] thekaiser91:
let's wait and see, anyway look the silver linings because if it a day won't work you know that is a problem of contact and with some easy weldings u can fix it. Good luck hoping u don't have any kind of trouble anymore

A little strange problem

Hi,

I have bought a dg800 on comebuy.com .

I remember to the beginning that it was on firmware 2014-08-25 (please trust me, it's true).

In flight mode I have seen that in a night I loose 20 percent of battery so I have flash my phone with 2014-08-15 version (the lastest official firmware, what else ?)

Since this time the front camera doesn't work anymore. I have tried many dg800 firmware and even to format all the phone but never the front camera is come back.

So I think at doogee.cc they are modify some component like front camera and that it work with new firmware only ...

Please is somebody has a new dg800 modele with similar new firmware (2014-08-25), please make a backup with MKT droid tools of it for me and share it.

MTK droid tools is here --> http://www.mediafire.com/download/6z9acf5um65cuj2/MtkDroidTools+v2.5.3.zip

Hello. I wrote to doogee about android l for this phone and man from doogee wrote to me " Dear customer,Thank you for your mail.

We have not got the latest firmware from the official,we will release on our website when we got.please keep checking our website."
[Device Reviews and Information] :
I'm out!

Right. I am sorry, but I've had enough, and it goes.

After various tweaks, GPS fix now takes only a few seconds, but it's still off like hell. I stand still and it jumps a 100 metres there and back again, the precision (if you can call it that) makes it unusable. The other day it claimed that I've ran 3 kilometers in mere three minutes, and tracking is literally sh*t, as it continues to place me two-three streets away from my actual position.

Next, I agree with what some of you say: the touchscreen is horrendous, just terrible. I experienced some really nasty "off touches". For example I want to delete characters and it keeps writing "mmmmm". This, along with the GPS, has to be the greatest weakness of the phone. I mean, two-point touch, seriously, Doogee? At first I thought I wouldn't notice it, but, sadly, after 6 months of use, I just do, and it kills the whole user experience.

Especially when I had the opportunity to use Redmi 1S for a while, It's way better. Like heaven & hell.

The next issue that surfaced is a one concerning the battery. I left house for a bus with 31% of charge, and before I got to the stop (10 mins max.), the phone had 2% and then it died. These "battery jumps" now happen more often, it just dies unexpectedly.

Add the poor Wi-Fi reception and the lies Doogee tell about the battery (no way a battery this small can be a 2000 mAh) and you've got some pretty nasty mix that I am no longer willing to put up with.

It goes. I'll go for the Redmi 1S.

(Do all Doogee phones have the same horrific unusable two-point touch screens anyway, or is it just the Valencia?)
