Has anybody encountered problems with power button not working properly??mine seems to work 1 out of 10 timrd,and i have to press pretty hard :(
[Device Reviews and Information] dfs_:
Can you see what process keeps your CPU busy(CPU stats?)

Minor things I found :

Gallery crashes always when editing frames

Smart gestures lost on reboot

Floating app activated for no obvious reason

overheating only when using Lenovo camera but that must be a software bug
[Device Reviews and Information] MrGallant:
As far as i see when only playing 3d games like mc5,mc4,temple run 2 for 5-10 min temprature jumps to 50-54°C,2d games are normal about 42-45°C,smart gestures not working after reebot,didn't try the gallery thing,no problem with the floating app,lenovo camera overheats and reaches the temp as the 3d games above

Thanks very much :cowboy:
[Device Reviews and Information] stanlawren:
I think I've noticed the floating window activate itself once or twice though it hasn't happened in a while now. As for the smart gestures not working after a reboot its a general problem.
[Device Reviews and Information] MrGallant:
You can activate the floating window by holding the back button.

Anybody have problems with cell standby using up 20% of the battery?

I'm with Bell (canadian cell service), which uses 3G WCDMA 850, and I have good reception (3 bars). Why is cell standby taking up so much battery?
[Device Reviews and Information] trueno92:
hi z,

yes the less you use the phone or the longer it is on standby, the cell standby ends up taking up a very large percentage.

i think its a problem in the battery reporting on this ROM, it doesn't appear to affect anything. I am not sure how the battery usage is really calculated, but once you use camera and GPS it cuts into the availability of the cell standby.
[Device Reviews and Information] MrGallant:
let`s hope for an update that solves all our problems or an upgrade whe n android l comes
[Device Reviews and Information] C3C076:
Battery stats are not reflecting how many %of battery is being consumed by a component at that particular time. It's a distribution of overall usage (100%) across different components/apps during "off charger" session. When you don't use your phone too much, phone idle and cell standby will end up with higher percentage since it's basically the only thing phone is doing when idle. (Phone idle is an analogy to windows task manager showing idle process taking larger % of CPU when other processes are not using too much CPU, which basically indicates CPU not being used).

When you let your screen on for e.g. 1 hour, percentage for phone idle and cell standby will drop while screen percentage will rise. Their sum should give ~ 100%.
[Device Reviews and Information] stanlawren:
Yes true. The floating window can be activated by pressing the back key for about 5-10secs. Thanks for the info. Perhaps that's what turned it on then.

As for the gallery crash mine crashed just once but after that everything went fine.

[Device Reviews and Information] zijin_cheng:
That's the problem, cell standby was active even while the screen was on. My device was powered on for a total of 13 hours, 47mins, 13seconds. Cell standby was active for 13 hours, 47mins, 13 seconds. That's why I'm worried about this issue.

battery

Hey so cell standby, and phone idle are taking about 30% each in battery life, and on my friends phone cell standby takes only 6% after his ran it for like 2 days( sony xperia 1) how do i reduce this?
[Device Reviews and Information] ttlog:
Assuming you have installed super su,there is a clean up option in the settings.
[Device Reviews and Information] spooky_ghosty:
If I remember corectly.... vroot puts a chinese SU or something...I remember that I rooted a phone for a friend a years ago using vroot to delete some apps and then when I unrooted (clicked the unroot button in vroot) those chinese apps were removed and the system was back to normal and also the warranty wasn't voided. That's what I'm trying to find out. I just want to put an APK in the system folder and set some permisions and then just UNROOT cuz I paid almost double the price for this chinese phone just to have warranty in my country and I dont wanna lose that!
[Device Reviews and Information] stanlawren:
If you're so scared of losing your warranty you shouldn't have rooted in the first place.

You can use a good file manager with root permission to move apps to system and set permissions.

Or you could create a flashable zip of the apps and flash in recovery.

As for unrooting using vroot I have no idea. Vroot has never worked for me anyway
[Device Reviews and Information] spooky_ghosty:
I didn't yet!!! That's why I am asking...if the unroot button still works on Thl. Thanks tho'

What kind of file manager with root permisions...without rooting my phone do u recomand?? :) :cool: ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] stanlawren:
None if you're not rooted. You must be rooted if you want to make changes to system with a file manager

Battery drains so fast, real 5000mAh?

Hi guys,

I've got the thl 5000 last week, battery drains so fast. Just an example : 21% drains to 0% in less than 1min!

I've upgraded the rom with the official one, no changes. I've asked THL services they replied "please close off all the background applications".

Damn, there is not background application :( please help from some of you.

I've also tried battery repair app, it showed spec as 1000mAh...

Thanks in advance

will only charge when off, sd card not working, flashes on and off

Phone eventually charged but ONLY when it was turned off. Doesn't do anything when it's turned on.

Then when it was charged it keeps shutting down and trying to restart then it doesn't and I have to hold the power button and volume up/down to force a reboot and even then it still doesn't work sometimes! The SD Card hasn't worked since I got it too...as soon as I put back cover on it says damaged SD Card and sometimes gives the option to format t but does nothing then.

And when the phone was eventually working this morning after a lot of messing with it well then it keeps going to a lock screen of a clock then either not waking up again or just switching off again!

Need help lads. Should I put a new ROM onto it and if so how in the hell do I do it? and what's the best one to use?

This will drive me crazy otherwise!!

I'm happy with it... but maybe it's because of the technology happy life mantra :P

For me it's really a plus having such a good battery and the other components are all top for what I'd expect from a 200€ device.

The only thing is that I hope not to break it anytime soon as sending it back to China will be a major pita, but I hope it will last for four years as my old HTC desire did(still working) . If thl will succeed to increase their market share ? Time will tell, HTC was not present on the German market years ago while Nokia was ....

Just seems like everyone is having no end of problems with this device (as per THL) poor screen contrast, battery issues and no support from the maker. I'm looking at the Xiami Redmi note instead, seems much cheaper, bigger screen and also quite a good battery (3100mah) and removable?
[Device Reviews and Information] dfs_:
its always hard to find out how big the percentage of problematic devices is, a poll would be great to see how satisfied the owners in this thread are -

redmi note: bigger screen (too big?)with lesser resolution and service also only in china?

[MENTION=6030120]stanlawren[/MENTION]: yup, cologne city
[Device Reviews and Information] flash-75:
Hi. My device will arrive today or tomorrow, I hope it's not a problematic one.

I think a poll won't bring a useful result as most users with "good" devices won't read here or post here.

Greetings from Germany
[Device Reviews and Information] Bal0n3yZ:
That might be true. I have this device for about a month now, and am very excited. But I do think this device might not be suitable for the average android user (carefully avoiding the word noob :) ): this device certainly needs some tweaking to perform correctly. There are way too many system-apps that start @ boot, that (imho) need to be disabled. So, you will need to root, take a look at this list and experiment with disabling a lot of these apps.

After I did this, I completely lost my thermal warning issues, and battery life was way better than before. Now I can use the phone for 2 days, and still have some life in the battery.

I think this is the best phone I have ever had (coming from an SGSIII), but it did take a lot of tweaking and experimenting.

Applying root using an application that is completely in chinese (VRoot) for instance, not knowing where to click, is not for the faint at heart.. :)

I've had no screen issues, so can't say anything about that though.

[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
Got this phone yesterday. Gamma is 1.2. Darker only changes the brightness, not the gamma. Colors are ok, but gmail, indeed, show the grays too close to each other. Wifi is better than my Moto G 2014, but in build quality Moto G beats it. Now altitude in GPS shows half than Moto G, have to fix it.
[Device Reviews and Information] invertgoat:
Haha yeah the build quality on the new Moto is good. I actually bought a Moto G and compared to my old THL W200. Beside build and GPS, In my opinion it was pretty much all round inferior, LCD much worse, slower, and I absolutely HATED the on screen buttons. No idea why there are such glowing and raving reviews about the G. Altogether the thing felt thrifty as hell so I sent it straight back.

But this evening I've decided to settled on the Redmi note 4g. Sorry guys! I know the resolution and cpu are both less. But for me this is better as I'd rather take the battery life over of performance as I know it's usually a compromise between the two. And the price difference is big too, £128-ish vs £165 for the thl 5000.

[Device Reviews and Information] Filippo.digi:
Hi. Today I received the thl 5000 I just turned and saw that everything works.

I wanted to know if there is an easy way to backup the phone to what it is now. Two years ago I had a Haipai x710d and after a year of use had become slow. So I decided to restore to factory and it turned out a firm cards.

What do you recommend? I saw that on the first page there are guides. I'm not very good with these things but with the Haipai I had the root. was very useful because I used luckypatcher.
[Device Reviews and Information] Bal0n3yZ:
To backup the entire phone (Rom+apps+data) you will need to install TWRP recovery.

If you only want to backup only the applications + appdata, use Helium (free from Play-store).

However, you will not be able to backup system-apps this way, you can do that using System Tuner Pro, but you need root.
[Device Reviews and Information] Filippo.digi:
Could you tell me what is the guide to the TWRP recovery? There is a risk of brick? the root must be done before or after?
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
You mean the back and home buttons? I liked them more the Moto G style. Each person each taste :) No idea why makers started to put the back button on the right, when almost any software on computers got it on the left and set the standard for its position.

IMHO, if THL got some fancy phone design and fixed all around quality (have to turn off auto time to make it work? oh please), they would have a serious killer.

Moto G, unless you have some very demanding apps ou games, is a very equilibrated phone, works well. I had the 2013 and 2014 version. Battery is below average tough.

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

Guys, apologies for sounding like a noob, but don't makers test their phones with the new screens if they change them (if they honestly want to sell good phones)? This looks like a cheap tactic to get more $$$. Use a good screen on the first batch, let the reviews rave about them, let the phone get famous, use a cheaper screen after that to profit a little more. Consumers don't like this BS. Consumers are not that dumb. THL can get hit seriously for this BS. Don't you agree?

A2DP / Bluetooth problems

Hey there,

since Cyanogenmod had some kind of memory overflow issues resulting my "old" LG P880 to get slower over the day ruining user experience more and more it was time to upgrade. So I decided to go for the THL 5000 and mainly was not disappointed with it.

I upgraded to ROM version 1.1.0 as soon as my phone arrived, set it back to factory settings and completed configuring everything (installing standard apps like facebook, netflix etc.).

But when I connected my Bluetooth Headset (Phillips SHB7000) to it, the audio quality was crappy as ****. Aside from random stuttering the overall bad audio quality is something I'd really like to fix somehow. I already rooted the phone and traced down \System\vendor\lib\hw\bluetooth.blueangel.so and \System\vendor\lib\hw\audio.a2dp.blueangel.so files. I tried to replace them by other android 4.4.2 files (since my old P880 had a really good bluetooth/a2dp audio streaming quality) resulting in bluetooth not working at all. Back to the old files and the old crappy audio quality.

Another issue regarding this is that streaming a netflix video results in a complete break-off audio streaming to the bluetooth headset.

Any suggestions?

regards

SFFoxy

I think you should try to use lib s from other mtk chipset devices and check the dependencies (ldd) maybe this can work, have no Bluetooth headset just using it in the car, works ok

Factory room small problems

Hello every one

I'v buy this great phone 3 weeks ago, i'm still in testing mode :p

By now I found some issues and small problems, I would like to comment to you and get your opinion.

Batery life -

I'm a very intensive user but not a player. means that the device is one off my working tolls. So I've 3g and wifi always on, mails coming in na out all the time. screen in automatic mode and around 20 min GPS driving.

In this conditions I found that the battery wasn't so great as i think (1day 12H), until i find that the "Du Battery" was one off the most consumers. With "Du battery" stopped the battery life came up to 2 days and 5h in the same conditions off use.

Proximity sensor -

Every time I'm with a cal the screen goes off at the first 3 seconds and then cames on again, theres nothing I could do to lock it.

I try to calibrate the proximity sensor but no result.

If i use a sock protection (like a pocket) it shows a screen advise to not covering the front top off the screen.

Wath do you think about this ??
