I had the same problem..I have the phone since 1/6/14 and the problem showed at 25/9..As I understand the problem is in touch screen..I communicated with GeekBuying which I bought it and they gave me some software instructions without these solve my problem. Finally I send it back to chine and it arrived in China at 28/10..The site informed me that they send it to factory and this may take 2-4 weeks..I am waiting....

In addition I found in aliexpress the touch screen and I thought to change it but I preferred to send it back because I have 1 year warranty...

Search in aliexpress touch dg800
[Device Reviews and Information] kiwi46:
Agreed

Yes I am happy with the phone too. Wi-Fi reception excellent. Battery life acceptable. Only downer for me is the GPS but I have other navigation options. Bonus is Kit Kat and hopefully Lollipop upgrades

The people who are not happy with the phone need to acknowledge that this is an excellent value phone. Less than $120 US. Not many phones come close in the value for money stakes.

The touch issue hasn't been a problem for me, but it probably depends on what your use the phone for.

- kernel

- system.img

- recovery.img

so I thing there is more things updated than they said....as usually

I can't try this firmware because i have sell my DG800 yesterday, the battery life is not enough for me.

I have a big problem! When I go into recovery appears to me only many words in chinese! What can I do?

P.S. I've solved! I pushed Volume-/Power instead of Volume+/Power

Now everything works but I need install the 4.4.2014-08-15 because the scattered file of 1008-15 won't work!
[Device Reviews and Information] WindSnowflake:
I agree that, for its price, it's amazing, but the battery issues (I have to charge at least twice daily) as well as the GPS issues have been driving me mad. :silly:

I am planning to switch, but before doing that I am in the process of backing everything up. The only thing I can't backup are my apps and most importantly the saved data from the apps (especially games!). I haven't installed various USB drivers to use Helium which, from what I have read, is very good, but none of them seem to be the right ones! Also, none of the paid apps on the store seem to be reliable enough to do the job.

Any idea where I can find the correct drivers? Or any suggestions of which app to use? My phone isn't rooted and I am a wimp to try rooting without backing up first to use Titanium.

All answers welcome! :D
[Device Reviews and Information] Jan Pas:
I downloaded the drivers together with a firmware update (I believe the august firmware version).

USB OTG did not work out of the box, and I really needed OTG on my DG800, so I rooted to get the android.hardware.usb.host.xml permission file in the filesystem. The issue I'm having right now is after rooting (and fixing USB OTG, it does work now), the device is no longer recognized by my laptop (and vice versa). The phone is charging, I used 3 different USB cables, the USB Storage Connection in my Android Storage Settings is greyed out. I have reinstalled the drivers that worked before rooting, with no positive result (yet).

Can anyone help me? googling did not really solve my problem.

PS: Im running windows 7, if anyone has the same drivers.

kind regards
[Device Reviews and Information] WindSnowflake:
Can you please tell me where you downloaded them from? Google has been no help! :(

New Battery Problem?

I have read through this entire thread and I believe I am having a "new" related problem. If anyone could shed light on this please do so...

We purchased this phone around Mother's day and it was working fine. Now the battery says fully charged but If we try to use the phone without it being on the charging either direct power or through usb it dies (just shuts off) then try to reboot with loading screen then turns off and keeps doing it untill i connect to power. Then it will reboot and the battery shows good. I have tried loading various stock roms and currently have bass rockers rom and it is still doing this. My wife had been constantly talking on this phone with it being connected to charger. Am I correct in my thinking that this is a bad idea? Anyway, I can leave the phone on all night and it says on battery that there is 6+ hours but when she started texting or using the phone, it turns off. When I try to reboot, it just keeps flashing over to try to reboot unless i put it on the charger it will reboot and show battery good but when using it jsut shuts off.

I have ordered a new battery but could this be something else?

Any thoughts? This is becoming a nightmare for her (and me)

Thanks guys!

It's the same problem. Could you fix it?

Customer service write to me:

sorry, you rooted the phone by yourself, so you lose warranty now, and pls restore the factory settings for a try.

1. Long press the volume "+" key, press the power button at the same time, when the screen shows "w32" to let go, enter droidboot mode;

2. Long presee the volume "+" key and simultaneously press the volume "-" key, when the screen shows"w32" let go into the selection interface;

3 Double-click the Volume "+" key, select to RECOVERY, OK, and then press the power button to enter recovery mode mode;

4 Double-click the volume "+" key, select wipe data / factory reset, press the power button to determine;

5. Press the volume "+" key, select Yes --- delete all user data determined to restore the factory settings, press the power button

6. Determine recovery mode screen appears again, press the power button to restart

I have not managed to fix this method.

Hi,

Hello!

[Device Reviews and Information] Jesen85:
Hello everyone,

I have been using DG800 for few weeks now and I would like to share the experience.

First of all, the phone suprised me based on quality, functionality and so on. I am impressed

I read all the comments in this thread and I must admit, I was scared what to expect.

The phone arrived with the October update and until now, everything works perfectly.

Camera is amazing, Android KK is performing greatly, much better than older Androids on some brand phones like HTC, nothing hanged, never got force close apps and I have already installed them tons over 32 GB sdhc.

Wifi might seem to be low according to the signal strength meter, but makes no difference compared to devices with full strength. It is just graphics issue.

The gps proved to be almost perfect. Im using Sygic software and I tried MTK EPO GPS fix to make it more stable. Fix is immediate, right after waking up the phone, car navigation is smooth and precise. I travelled to very unknown location during night with DG800 and it proved to be a good co-pilot.

Battery life is standard - I am using both SIM slots at once, two sim cards, one GSM the other 3G, wifi always on, when off 3G comes on. Several calls, texting, pics, browsing and chatting - general use, including some basic games. I get around 1,5 day! Seriously. Now I plugged in charger with some 27% after 1 day 6 hours and some minutes. I use the low settings for brightness, not happy with automatic regime. Otherwise, no tweaking, no software, nothing added. Stock ROM, no root.

Overall, despite many negative reviews and experience before, I can totally recommend. What I am aware the most, if the touch screen and digitizer can last more than couple of months without ghost touches. If so, I will be totally happy with the phone for next few months (let´s say 1 year).

To answer my own question. Phone had lost both imei numbers through newest update. I simply rooted phone and reinstalled original imeis through mobile uncle....

Guys, the reason why Titanium Backup is not working, is a setting in SuperSU, called mount namespace separation. Head to the SuperSU settings, untick (disable) this option, reboot your phone and it will work. Of course because of 4.4, you also need the platform.xml hack if you want your external SD to store the backup. For that I prefer this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jrummy.sdfix

Is there any solution about the poor battery?
[Device Reviews and Information] Djuganight:
Received the Doogy today and its actually pretty nice.

When I buy these phones I imagine the amount of money Sumsung and stuf are robbing on people.

I personally have a Xiaomi Redmi, which has 4.7" screen with HD resolution (1280x720) and side by side, the Doogy looks better than the Redmi....

Very fast, and being a KitKat helps here.

The back key, requires getting used to it. In my opinion, its completely useless and the minutes I played with the phone I was always touching it accidentally.

They took away the led notification light, which is something extremely useful, and added this back touch button to the phone. I don’t like it and I think they did wrong.

Overall very happy with it and for this kind of price, a Smartphone with a rather nice camera and specs, not blocked to any network, it’s a wow factor.

As the phone its for my female, not very demanding, I will leave it as is and will only going to root it.

I managed to root by using this method here

Its actually very easy procedure although it looks complicated. Root is done and all is working fine, except the Titanium backup.

Everytime I open it I get a message saying that the BusyBox Binary is updated and ok but looks like something is wrong with the SU and recommend reinstalling. I just ignore and all works ok. what might be?

Also, the phone comes with a rom dated 15/10/2014 but this rom doesn't seem to be available in www.doogee.cc web site
