As far as I remember my tests, they behaved both the same when attaching my own improvised antenna to each of them. To be exactly, the official antenna even connects both of those pins (still unsure why an engineer would do that redundancy). Haven't measured output with an oscilloscope.

Internal antenna seams pretty weak, so tin foil mod might have an effect. But the wifi controller itself may be weak as well.

I'm really glad i got the external GPS device - it has a Huge ceramic-based antenna complex.
[Device Reviews and Information] binetp:
Thanks djmarki. I'm not sure what I will do. I tested today and got 6 sats of 13 with 6 meteraccuracy. Then all of a sudden no sats,then a few seconds later 3 sats. This behavior continues...no chance to use as navi. Wifi is a joke. Juice defender seems to help with battery drain. Will keep exploring.

Hello to everybody.

The battery problem is the biggest problem that I am experiencing on this phone that has great featurest.

I put it under control with batterbatterystatus and actually can confirm that the phone never goes into deep sleep mode and remain in a awake state all the time. To tell the truth I had already installed several applications, but also after freezing all app, the problem remain.

Unfortunately the kernel does not allow to trace the kernel wakelock because for unknow reason the used kernel do not support it (there is not the expected path /proc/wakelocks). So we can not understand what is the function that keeps our phone always awake.

Is there someone with clean phone that can do a further test to confirm the above analysis?

I am inclined to think that it is a problem of the kitkat rom rather than doogee device, but I found discordant information . I'm no expert, I'm just trying to put together information taken from various international forum.

Anyone, in this expert forum can help me/(us)?

Thx

Forgive my poor english:rolleyes:

I have updated the ROM to version 2014_06_19, but this way to root the phone uses the old ROM (2014_05_07).

Can I follow the way as described and just use the scatter file from the new ROM?

UPDATE:

OK, seems like there is only the old ROM available for download on the Doogee Website...

Has anyone tried to root the updated phone?

[Device Reviews and Information] :
So, is there a reliable way to fix the GPS yet? I just got a Valencia and it's literally unusable. Poor WiFi reception and poor battery performance, both I can live with. But the GPS issues I just cannot overlook.

Fix takes forever, and even then the signal is so poor that the navigation (two apps tested) "jumps" randomly between locations in (approx) 150 meter radius or stops working altogether.

I've got the latest 2014_06_19 build, not rooted (yet, I guess…).

Hi,

Could you tell us where this kernel comes from ?

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------

I experience the same: no deep sleep state at all.

I have also noticed that I cannot see any kernel wakelock stat.

Maybe one hint is the high CPU usage of the system_server process. Can you observe the same ? Is your kernel labelled as: info@doogee.cc 2014/03/22 ?
[Device Reviews and Information] scotty2000:
Thanks for this work, i flashed the boot.img zip file from recovery and got a success message, but how can i see if it has worked correctly ?

Because the sound quality was bad I bought a external usb dac (HiFimeDIY android dac sabre)

I dismounted boot.img and added support init.rc

sorry to translate Google
[Device Reviews and Information] lpizzi:
Yes, I have the same kernel.

It seems that this kernel (Kernel Asylum) does not implement the wakelock directory so all appI like gsm battery or betterbatterystats can not read this statistics.

Are your phone clean? Do you have already tried the factory reset?
[Device Reviews and Information] Davitos:
Seems like the file "android.hardware.usb.host.xml" is corrupt in in the rom making it impossible for my USB DAC to work. I've read someone else here also had OTG problems here, you can replace the corrupt file with a default one https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/native/+/jb-dev/data/etc/android.hardware.usb.host.xml

I did a complete wipe and flash of the initial ROM with SP flash tool, still no deep sleep. I guess we would need a custom kernel to replace the original one to see a difference.
[Device Reviews and Information] lpizzi:

I managed to fix the "no deep sleep" issue by flashing back the original ROM without the June OTA update. Conclusion: this update is the root cause.
[Device Reviews and Information] lpizzi:
WE GOT IT

I can confirm. Flashing back the originale ROM with SP Flash Tool without applying the OTA update the phone go in deep sleep..:good:

Thank mate
[Device Reviews and Information] Davitos:
Anyway I can flash without losing my settings/personalisations/...
[Device Reviews and Information] desfocado:
All I can tell you is I flashed the 07/05 ROM (my recently purchased phone came with the new update) and the battery seems to be much better as well.

Is the DAC working Davitos? I really want to get one now, I can't stand the sound quality through headphones/earphones.

Is the built-in DAC really this bad?
[Device Reviews and Information] BOYC74:
I made the root method perfectly. And a few hours later I Killed the phone system with root browser. I don't know how. I flashed back the original ROM (07.05). After then I made OTA upgrade and I have the new ROM. And the end I made the root method one more. And now is everything all right.
[Device Reviews and Information] GreenMan22:
Really looking forward to buy this phone. Read all 22 pages on this forum about this phone. Saw some of you are having problems with this phone but still I think its a good phone.

[Device Reviews and Information] Davitos:
Yes the sound quality difference between the built-in-DAC and the external DAC I bought is huge, built-in-DAC has almost no deep bass. The one I bought is "HIFIMEDIY Sabre Android DAC" is very good small one that uses almost same amount of battery but there are also cheaper ones where you have to buy USB adapter and OTG cable separately. Things I had to do to get it working: 1) Fix OTG with app "USB Host Check" 2) place default "android.hardware.usb.host.xml" file in correct location 3) buy and use "USB Audio Player PRO"

Don't use DX.com

Just a warning to anyone out there thinking of puchasing through DX.com..... Don't.

The supplier is based in Malasia, and send the shipment via Malasia post.

Since MH370 Malasia post have banned lithium batteries in Airmail, so they get shipped via container ship.

Mine took 3months to arrive in UK :( :(

On a much better note..... order them through to2c.com

Cheaper, and turn up in ~10days. (singapore post so come via airmail)

Lucky i ordered from 2 different places.

Otherwise I'd have had an angry missus for 3mths waiting for it to turn up!

hey guys, someone has tried this custom rom? w w w .needrom.com/download/doogee-dg800-kitkat-next/
[Device Reviews and Information] H4M24:
Me !

I have tried it and it's working fine so far ,still using it right now ,the only bad thing is that the camera app doesn't record HD videos .
[Device Reviews and Information] thekaiser91:
thank you, is it working better than last official one, or it's quite similar?
[Device Reviews and Information] H4M24:
...

I just flashed it 3 hours ago and i didn't have any problems ,the developer said that the deep sleep mod is working fine and the wifi Error (nvram...) was fixed.

the only downside is the video recording at VGA . if anyone knows an alternative camera app please share it with us .
[Device Reviews and Information] thekaiser91:
I tried many kind of cams but no one works, maybe this rom could be great if only gets a back step about the camera! Anyway about deep sleep, the phone goes in deep sleep also with stock rom, the only thing to do is freeze with titanim backup the "firmware update"

Mine didn't go deep sleep because it arrived with the latest firmware witch has the deep sleep problem ,but now it was fixed after i flashed the costum ROM by BassRockers

I have found an app that records in 720p it's called 'Cinema FV-5 Lite' but you have to set it up first

after installing the app goo to Settings ---> Video and set the 'Container Format' to MP4

then set 'Video Resolution to 1280x720

next thing is to set the 'Video Codec' to 'H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10 AVC) and set the 'Video Bit Rate' to 6Mbps

Finally set the 'Frame Rate to 24 fps'

PS if you are not satisfied keep tweaking the settings until find something you like.

You can Try 'Camera MX' too it's a good app it can also record in 720p

hi guys - just got my dg800 - battery problem was obvious from the first time i turned it on - it lost around 1% every 2-3 minutes - :(

i've read all 25 pages describing the problems with this cell and i'm happy you figured out that the battery problem is because of the nonfunctional deepsleep mode -

could you please provide a well detailed guide which will explain what should be done in order to solve this problem ??:D

Helpful Information!

Hi everyone! I may be a newbie on XDA forums, but I've been monitoring this thread very closely since its beginnings (I have a Doogee DG800 as well).

I've figured out some interesting things I would like to share with you all.

-Deep sleep mode works if you turn on "back-touch" from the settings app...it's weird, but it works (even on the June update).

-Busybox does not seem to work well on the DG800 (it installs fine? without error) but apps that utilize it (titanium backup, viper4android, etc) are unable to work well.

-Sound quality is atrocious, but this can easily be fixed by equalizer apps/Poweramp.

Does that battery seem to charge fairly slow for anyone else as well?
[Device Reviews and Information] Brazu:
Yes... it really takes too long...but in return I can use it about 2 days.
[Device Reviews and Information] epower:
Thanks for sharing this info. I really was shocked while listening music through earphones for the first time. Especially the tinny sound at high volumes ware annoying. Then I tried Poweramp and the sound is so much better. Furthermore even free apps like the Shuttle Music Player offer a good sound quality, so it seems like it isn't a problem of the DAC, but of the provided music player application.

By the way, i received my DG800 yesterday and the build date of the installed firmware is July 2, 2014 (screenshot attached, hope I didn't mistake mounths for days ;) ). Is this update also available through OTA? With wifi and 3G turned on and GPS and backtouch panel turned off the state of charge is 47% after 10.5 hours of use.

I just flashed bass Rockers newest ROM from needrom and am pleasantly surprised...everything works fine. But of course there remains the poor WiFi reception.

I registered in this forum just to share an opinion on the DG800.

I was on the cusp of purchasing this phone just before stumbling upon this thread. I read all 27 pages to this point and I feel like I've dodged a bullet.

RECAP to all has to be said about this phone and this company:

Its' GARBAGE! Do not buy it.

The DG800:

- poor battery,

- non-existent GPS,

- mediocre WIFI,

- two-finger touch (advertised as five-finger)

- weak audio

- long charging time

- lackluster touch screen

- 13mp camera (actually 8mp via interpolation), but with lots of noise

- appallingly software

- egregious customer service

- no warranty whatsoever (?)

Fine, the "deepsleep mode" has been resolved, but who releases such unpolished software releases? And has this actually improve the battery at all?

About the company itself. These people are JOKE. Their entire company web site, including manuals, descriptions, even software and phone menus are RIDDLED with mistakes, poorly written, probably mostly translated via google translate. Their facebook page is no different. How do you offer a product and you are incapable of completing ONE, singular sentence right? "Extremely Beauty" - laughingstock! Goes to show what you're actually buying. If they're not bothered to present their product with proper English, what can you expect from the product itself?

Also. w w w.doogeemobile.com is FAKE. Do not use or trust anything that comes out of there. It's a scam run by someone whose paypal address is focalandroid@gmail.com - just google and you'll read of all the scam scenarios people complain off. Doogee are denouncing doogeemobile.com as well... if anyone cares to open their Chinese web site doogee.cc .

All in all, you get what you pay for! It's Chinese crap over and over. It's looks like a nice, polished device, enough to attract your attention and buy it - only to find out that the nice, polished device is actually a turd on the inside. Typical Chinese gimmicks.

Better keep those 100$+, add another 50 or so and get yourself a Moto G or something similar. Avoid these Chinese folks only passing as a "company" to rip you off your hard-earned money.

Would love anyone to prove me wrong.
