Anybody experiencing slight lag when using swipe typing in Google Keyboard? The gesture trail is quite slow compared to the same thing on other phones like the Nexus 4 and the Moto G. If you don't have another phone to compare to, try installing Google Keyboard and something like Touchpal keyboard and try swiping using both apps, there is a difference for me.

I have the same problem. I flash it with V10.1-Bshuy2003 and setup imei and everything and after I power off in order to put sim card and later I could not power on (even on the red button from the back reset - nothing).

I had to go again to flash but this problem about power off and can not power on repeating and if someone knows why it would be helpful!

Battery

I experienced variable battery drain, stayed on 5o% for half day then started alerting for flat batt @ 5%.

I have since started to use more powerful smart charge wall adapter. It's output is 5v 2.1a (instead of 1.5a stock) and sences influx and when phone is charged Etc. Phone has been solid since.

This phones strong point is the battery, screen brightness is a big battery drain along with the other obvious ones. I have forgotten what it is like to have to recharge every day, not going back either.

I have come across a few apps that can't run very well on this phone, I haven't contacted app dev but that would be the way to go.
[Device Reviews and Information] mcg1987:
Yes from the very first time I turned on my phone. Now the phone is bollocksed and won't turn on.

Yep mine died on my holidays and won't turn on, charge, connect to the computer - nothing! Reset button is useless for this problem. I reckon it's not getting power from the charger. When it first happened it had 40% battery left at least but just shut off after flicking over and back from screen with a clock on it. Then when I plugged it into the wall charger it just turned on and off to the white screen with the THL logo on it but now it won't even do that. I also can't hard reset it like I had to before.

I've tried to connect it to a number of laptops/computers but it tries to connect then disconnects.

I'm going mad because all my photos and videos from the first few days of my first family holiday are on it. I just want them off then I'll send it back for a refund.

I need help!!

Hi guys. I´ve been bussy last few days, and am still bussy, so I´ll write in general:

I use everything on that phone, but I turn it on only at the time I actually use it. I only check my e-mails twice a day (bussy) and I can wait for it to load when I turn the phone on or wake it up. So what you see is pure phone usage. Mostly Youtube, then browser, camera, few apps, phone calls. For me, it´s pretty normal and healthy usage, for many this can be very irrelevant. Please don´t troll me with how useless test I do, and also please excuse me if my test and my open presentation seems to be troll-ish for some. It´s natural behavior of many people to use phone this way unless they can get full week (12 hours a day) of SOT without charge. There are users, and there are savers. Both categories have good reasons for the usage type they choose.

It can be true that battery indicator can still be inaccurate. So I´ll wait for the full discharge and I´ll report back. Now I´m on 4d 3h, and 6:30 SOT with 44% of battery power left. Looks promising for my kind of usage.

Battery

Wondering if some of the battery power problems are from phone being drained to low or overcharge, then a electronic trip has activated. Sounds weird but I have heard of it, had to be shorted somewhere to work again. Sometimes on first battery cycles may not have indicated true battery level. Trips are there to protect battery from damage, would imagine something something similar in this phone with its oversize battery. Would be good to see circuit diagram if there is one.
[Device Reviews and Information] Unilqadium:
It seems that status is not perfectly correct yet. I had some anomaly at 30%. It stayed there for long time. Then it went to 50%, then I loaded youtube again, and it drained the battery to 1% very quickly. At 30%+, everything seemed to be perfect. will try more chatges. Now i had 8:30 of SOT, with 5 days 5 hourse usage. Not really bad, not stellar. I´d need to have 8000mAh accu to go trough the week as in old days with old phones...
[Device Reviews and Information] MirQoo:
Mine holds for arround 3days. I have never seen more onscreen time than 5-6hours.

Using the phone lightly, some browsing, checking mails, few short calls... but.i have to add that im using 2 simcards and have 3G always turned on..

Mirror on big screen?

Hi guys,

I'm still waiting for my 5000... Just curious, has anyone tried to mirror its THL 5k on a big screen?

Does it work with USB to HDMI cable?

Does it work with the new mirror feature of ChromeCast?

How well does it work with Miracast? Do you need to install an app for this?

Thanks!

By the way, I haven't read all post yet, maybe a solution has already been posted, but if not, for those having problem with Titanium backup, just change your SuperUser app for another one. I had the same problem with my Elephone P2000. I uninstalled the superuser app, and installed the one from Clockworkmod (it requires flashing the binaries via recovery). After that Titanium was back in business. It is probably the same problem with the THL 5000. Click on the "Thanks!" if that works for you too! :)

What about the microphone?

Is there one or two mic on device?

When you talking on the phone, is your face covering the microphone?
[Device Reviews and Information] ttlog:
There is only one microphone. The phone is big enough to not be covered.

The random reboots continue. Just five minutes ago, it rebooted during a call...
[Device Reviews and Information] ccav2000:
Since no one else reported this consider the case that you may have a defective unit.

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

Also, what carrier do you use by the way?
[Device Reviews and Information] ttlog:
It would reboot all the time if it was defective (not that it's not possible) and it's not happening all the time. The carrier is cosmote, in Greece.
[Device Reviews and Information] ccav2000:
A defective unit can exhibit random behavior, just like yours does. Also the fact that no one else complaint about random reboots makes it all the more likely that yours has a problem.

I have a problem.

I Got the mobile 4 days ago.After my first complete charge the battery runs down very fast like normal.

Any suggestions?

What is the MAH output on your charger?

This is the first time I'm on my 2nd day without a charge. I'll put up screen shots later. First recharge after the ota update.

Also, what did you get before the full charge?
[Device Reviews and Information] grektank:
Look.My first use was over 2 days with max use.But now after the charge is acting like normal battery.1500MAH
[Device Reviews and Information] ccav2000:
I think you should ignore what the battery meter says and use it until it just turns off on its own. From the screen shots I've seen for this phone, the battery meter is not accurate, goes up and down. But in the end the time from full charge until it is completely drained is what matters.
[Device Reviews and Information] trueno92:
Oddly I got 500ma charger for north america.. The phone would take all night to charge and it would charge up a lot faster when the unit was off
[Device Reviews and Information] Panick_mg:
My phone never reboot and I mess so much with phone I even soft bricked, xexe, try to factory reset the phone or even try to flash the rom again from needrom and leave the phone couple days without your apps and then if the phone is ok start to install one by one.
[Device Reviews and Information] Panick_mg:
The first day I had received the phone I charged with a different charger and the battery life was great after a few day I tried the factory charger and I notice a very fast baterry drain so I charged again with a different charger and my battery was great agai maybe the factory charger is not so good.
[Device Reviews and Information] ttlog:
Well the phone actually only rebooted twice(in those 4 days that I have it), but both of them were during a call. The first measure before hard reset was to put the SIM in the other slot. I'll keep you posted.

Now, has anyone managed to flash the twrp recovery with "mobile uncle"?
[Device Reviews and Information] grektank:
I ll try to charge my mobile with my other THL charger from W8s lol.

I ll try to find another one to test it.
[Device Reviews and Information] Panick_mg:
Yes me thats why I posted it.
[Device Reviews and Information] ttlog:
But nothing happens! I extracted the "recovery.omg" from the zip and placed it on the root of the sd. "Mobile uncle" recognises it and asks to reboot on recovery. Then the android with the red triangle appears. If I press the power button I get the"normal" recovery options (reboot, install from sd,etc), but as expected it can't see the .img file. If I put the whole .zip file from needrom it fails to flash it I assume because it's not signed.
[Device Reviews and Information] Panick_mg:
I imagined that your phone is already rooted? Then you go to recovery update to install the recovery.img.
[Device Reviews and Information] ttlog:
Yes it is. "Mobile uncle" already has root privileges. Does the whole process happen automatically? I mean , do you even press power and locate the recovery.img yourself or"mobile uncle" does the dirty work for you?
[Device Reviews and Information] Panick_mg:
You go to uncle mobile then recovery update you locate the recovery.img file and then you press it and it will install it.
[Device Reviews and Information] ttlog:
Yeah thought so. Well it doesn't happen on mine. I guess I'll reflash it and start from scratch.

THL 5000 worth it?

Hey, I am thinking to buy the thl 5000. After looking on this thread (I haven't read all of it yet) I have noticed that a lot of people are having problems with their screens/devices. I was wondering if it was still worth it to buy this phone. I don't want to drop $250 on a new phone and have it not work or have problems with it.

If I do decide to buy it, would a warranty be worth it? The warranty would cost almost $50. That would leave me with a price of $323. So, is it worth it?

The site that I would buy it from is popmall (That's the site THL linked to). I can't post a link bcs I'm new.

Thanks, Jon

For those with proximity sensor and/or gamma issues, I've been onto THL to see about getting the issue sorted.

Having first asked me to send the handset back, I've now been assured that the next update will address at least one of these issues (hopefully the proximity sensor - I'm fed up hanging up on people with my ear!)

I've asked for a timeframe, will let you know what I'm told.

Battery and deep sleep mode.

Today I've closed 21 days and 22 hours on one charge on my THL 5000 (screenshot attached). There's only one issue. the phone does not seem to enter Deep Sleep mode ever! It always operate at 728 MHz and above (CPU Spy tested).

I can see Unused CPU state being only "Deep Sleep", and I don't know hot to "make it" go to Deep Sleep when the screen is turned off. I previously owned an SE x10i that it used to enter Deep Sleep when the screen was off. Now, I am not sure how to make my THL 5000 enter Deep Sleep.

My intention is to save some more battery and see if I can get it to last several days longer. I am happy it lasted nearly 22 days, but as I can estimate this could go much further if I succeed in making the phone enter Deep Sleep.

Any help would be great.

P.S. I am not a heavy smartphone user when I test how long the battery will last. My use for these 22 days was 1,5 hour of music every day plus my incoming-outgoing calls that were barely 2 hours total (in case you wonder).
[Device Reviews and Information] flash-75:
I have battery info installed which tells me hours in deep sleep mode and wake up. So I guess its an issue in the app you use.
[Device Reviews and Information] C3C076:
Additionally, screen gestures that can be set in Accessibility menu keep CPU online when enabled
[Device Reviews and Information] Unilqadium:
NMaverick: No, it seems that your phone sleeps well. Basic android doesn't have deep sleep mode. Phone idle with cell standby is very good indicator that it all works and your phone IS in deep sleep. Only thing you can do about it is rooting your phone, at put it in the flight mode every night to save more on GSM and wi-fi turned off at the time you sleep. I'm about to do that, but current guides for this THL are kinda chaotic, full of problems, full of users struggling or even bricking their phones.... I'm not about to find out. Will look for working guide...
[Device Reviews and Information] kasvet-efza:
I cant believe this. Did you use offline? What is this 22 days amazing
[Device Reviews and Information] Danny94:
Take a look at post #752, for me worked without problems ; D.
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
Who cares if it goes deep sleep or not! It lasted 21 days! Was it always in aeroplane mode? And you disabled to make he calls? 2 hours of calls and 90m of music per day?

Quite possible you charged it sometimes, possible with the USB cable connected to PC.
[Device Reviews and Information] NMaverick:
No guys, I am not cheating here... Let me explain as best as I can.

Phone never turned off, connected to usb for charging (the screenshot says it all, if it had been charged by usb it would reset the timer) or even put in airplane mode.

What I have done is disable 3G (no need as I have no internet plan, since I don't need one at work or at home, but when on vacation I will use internet via hotspots NOT 3G), GPS is always turned off unless I need it, auto-sync is off, bluetooth off.

I use only one SIM card, no auto-off and auto-on, phone stays ALWAYS on even when I am sleeping.

Always running is Tasker with some custom tasks for when I insert the headset (turns it to vibrate and disables external notifications), incoming calls and plug out the headset. MobileUncle is one application that I keep killing from running apps (no I don't use an auto-killer), I don't use facebook app, nor facebook messenger, but I prefer logging in the facebook page itself via the browser. These apps take too much space and battery and always try to connect.

Wifi is off. I only turn it on on vacation when I don't have a laptop or a tower pc to do my usual browsing etc.

I have enabled (as you see at the screenshot) the option to save cpu power to reduce energy consumption, basically this means the 7 cores are sleeping except when needed.

I could disable call recorder to save 33% of the consumed battery and will most probably do it from now on since I don't need it.

Daily use is 1,5 hours of music to and from work, some calls now and then, but nothing out of 2 hours overall and I mean 2 hours on the entire 22-day period (even less I might say!)

ROM is Bushys v10.2 over 1.0.9 from needrom site.

I did notice however that the battery drain is not always faithful to the indications. There were times that the indicator stayed for 4-5 days at 45% and then dropped in a few minutes to 38%. Today I had it on 25% in the morning and the phone died completely drained, without heavy use at 16:30. But it really lasted over 22 days, since I took the screenshot about an hour before it was shut off by itself.

The phone really has more potential than it demonstrated. I think I can get it to last for about a month with my essential use, but apart from this test, what I would normally do is take some photos (which I didn't do at all) and play with camera and video capture and GPS to check accuracy. For example, I have now put Sygic 14.xxxx and this needs to be tested for accuracy and ease of use to finish with this section.

I hope I helped.

And yes it is rooted!
[Device Reviews and Information] kasvet-efza:
Okay thanks and what about the screen brightness?
[Device Reviews and Information] NMaverick:
Screen brightness is set to Auto
[Device Reviews and Information] Unilqadium:
Seems to be doable. I have the same observation. If I take it from 100% charge (trickle is not that good) I have lots of power, and this beast refuses to put battery status down unless I turn on the display. I do a lot of browsing, so my phone lives for about 5 days, but it is always straight line until I use phone display. It really saves some power....

By the way guys..the audio quality in the original iPhone headphones that I have been using with my HTC for the last year or so...is Horrible!!!! They are very good headphone but on this device the audio quality sucks....:(
[Device Reviews and Information] NMaverick:
Actually there's an explanation to it. I have the same issue with all headphones with mic. Try pressing the "talk" button on the headset cable and keep it pressed while listening to the song. This is weird as it seems that the headphones short-circuit the talk button. It is supposed to have the state "normally off", but it's rather "normally on" on this phone!

data connection

Hi guys

I have received my THL 5000. But my data connection does not work. I have done foctory reset, i have flash e new rom. I checked my sim card in my old phone and working with data connection. I live in Cyprus my carrier is cyta-vodafone. What i do wrong?
[Device Reviews and Information] unbeteiligter:
I use non-mic earphones and the sound was not very good for me too.

What helped for me was to uncheck 'audio enhancer for earphone'

It's located under -> Settings -> Audio Profiles
[Device Reviews and Information] NMaverick:
I tested that today and it works with non-mic headset! I don't know how THL makes their headsets, but it is weird and sad if they have altered the "normal" connectivity by e.g. reversing the microphone state of the headset from off to on.

What unbeteiligter said also corrects the bass a little, but the worst performance comes when a mic-headset is inserted.

---------- Post added 12th November 2014 at 12:00 AM ---------- Previous post was 11th November 2014 at 11:52 PM ----------

You have to choose which SIM card you use to connect to 3G network. This is located in settings, sim management, data connection. You also have to turn on 3G from the pull-down menu (if you have this item) or search inside the connectivity menu.

There are different versions.

Or Try Install the best ROM for THL5000, here:

http://www.needrom.com/download/classic-rom-v1-0-by-iv2012-thl-5000/

I am using version Classic ROM V2, more than 1 week and can say, it is the best ROM. It is multilanguage, but default language is rusian. Then you can change it to your language.

Or you can download my little mod, there is default language set to english:

* default installation in english

* removed*startup and shutdown sound

* added some useful applications
