Remember that Elephone have released two smartphones: P3000 and P3000S. Otium Z4 seems to be exactly the Elephone P3000 (check both hardwares), not P300S. But the matter is that P3000S and P3000 have some different specifications but they also have some equal specs like battery, external desing, 4G LTE, fingerprint at back...

Elephone and honesty are two words that actually doesn't match well.

- It's a fact that they have lied with the camera. They said it was Sony and it is really an Omnivision. And it is not 13 megapixels, just 8 mpx, interpolated to get 13. Same issue in front camera. They have changed in their web the Sony and now is the OV after people complaints, but still no explanation and still lying about megapixels.

- Antutu says there is not gyroscope inside P3000S and Elephone still not responding clients claiming for the true of that information.

- The compass is crazy and Elephone haven't responded to clients claims.

- When the phone is charging the screen tactil sensor goes crazy, you can't use the phone. It happens only with official charger, it works well with other charger. But again, Elephone keep quiet.

- The thickness of P3000S looks much bigger than the 8,9 mm that should measure. It may be close to 100 mm. [MENTION=2105197]s7yler[/MENTION], could you check it for us? If P6000 is 8,9 mm thick, how is it possible that P3000S is also 8,9 mm? your comparision video is very clear at that point.

Anyway, I hope I will receive my P3000S within this incoming week. It is a good phone but I am very dissapointed with Elephone way of dealing with clients, with their lies, lack of support and continous delays on providing devices to the resellers.
[Device Reviews and Information] Ohlikken:
Ouch I didn't know that about the camera, the phone is definitely thicker than 8,9, guessing they went full scum and used the measurement on the side rather than in the middle.
[Device Reviews and Information] al.ya:
Unfortunately that's the true about camera. You can check in many sellers web the 'old' advertising (for example Coolicool). I have seen a french guy review who make a meassure of 103,5 mm thickness (obviously in the thicker part of the phone). Other reviews, although looks like they take the meassure doesn't say anything about it. Its annoying to see how many reviewers make really bad reviews only thinking on selling phones or just being grateful with manufacturers that send they the devices.
[Device Reviews and Information] al.ya:
[MENTION=2105197]s7yler[/MENTION], I am watching your youtube channel (really fantastic job, man!!) and I see in your P3000S review, which I can't understan how I missed until now, that you make the real measure method, giving the result of 10,35 mm thickness.

I am also realising that the batteries (both P3000S and P6000) are Lithium Polimers, not the usual Lithium Ions. And the charger is only 1000 mA output. Isn't it very low range? I thought that the "big" batteries are actually designed to allow 2000 mA charge. It seems I a m wrong :(
[Device Reviews and Information] lemonade747:
Yeah, and now i think i wont buy this phone. Thanks for your information.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Some claims that charging with 2000 mA is not good for the battery and will damage it faster. So maybe Elephone just choose not to take that risk.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Well, that 2 phones have the same design still doesn't mean that they are the same inside. This is not the first time, we have seen a "clone" of an Elephone model.

You can for example also check the "XiaoXiaomi Mi4 Mini" (it has nothing to do with an Xiaomi or Mi4) that phone also has exactly the same design as the Elephone G6. But the hardware inside is completely different.

Seems that the Otium Z4 is the same story. Some company buys the "design" but let the factory put whole different hardware inside (most cheaper hardware) to lower the price.

I see these as cheaper clones, but not more honest at all. Inside the Otium Z4 there then may be some lower cameras than the 8/2 actually, maybe just 5/1 then.

You can be 100% sure that Otium are not giving anything away cheaper if there is not a good reason. Their Otium U5 also looks exactly like the "Ulefone Be One" (none-pro version). Seems that Otium just rebrand designs fast and put lower hardware inside (seems that most of their phones are with qHD screens only - not HD) and then sell them for a cheaper price.
[Device Reviews and Information] al.ya:
Ouch!! I haven't heard that 2000 mAh can damage the battery of a lower requiring device. I use to charge my gadgets with the highest energy charger that I have close to me. For example I use to charge my iPhone 4 with 2000 mAh charger. I have always read that the charger gives only the energy that the device demands, so if the device support up to 1000 mAh, it will only absorb 1000 mAh from the charger, even if this one is capable to deliver much more mAh.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Your right about that, but for example the UMI ZERO has fastcharge built-in, but still some people use another normal charger to charge it, because they think that using the 2A fastcharger delivered from UMI is not that good for the battery in the long term. Maybe we talk about two different things.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Ye I also don't understand why he writes better design? the design is exactly the same.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan_ardan:
Sorry, my bad. I later realized it's the same design. I was checking out several phones at the same time and perhaps looked at another picture.
[Device Reviews and Information] BigMango:

[Device Reviews and Information] Ohlikken:
CM before MIUI then maybe haha.

Just another thing Elephone dropped the ball on ^^
[Device Reviews and Information] Ohlikken:
So Elephone finally commented on the camera issue multiple people already picked up upon.

http://www.elephone.hk/readNews/2119.html

Wonder if they are also going to comment on the screen protection being Dragontrail instead of Gorilla Glass 3. (or maybe even something else)

Such a shame really. =/

S7yler can you check if you still have the phone if what Elephone is actually true.

You should have one of the early units of the phone with the Sony camera.
[Device Reviews and Information] sirkompot:
Coolicool has just realeased MIUI v6 ROM for Elephone P3000s on elchapuzasinformatico.com forum, there is also a youtube video with it. Unfortunately I cannot post external links as I am too newbie... :( But you guys can check that out. It would be great if somebody would post an instruction on how to install that :)

[Device Reviews and Information] Jaeger_S2k:
Which SD Card. Too many flavours

I've search hi and low and can find nothing more than micro SD (T-Flash) 128G.

No one uses (T-Flash) as a description that I can find, so what will the phone accept from all the available SD card formats available?

Also what format does the phone support, fat32 any others?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
It supports any microSD card just in FAT32, TF card is the same as micro SD, just another name for the same.
[Device Reviews and Information] Jaeger_S2k:
But really, TF card hasn't been used since 1900 and froozen to death. :)

So either ....

SD/SDHC/SDXC in only Fat32?

Would the speed advantage of SDHC and SDXC be retained, or would they just be wasted?

The reason I ask is a post mentioned the video lagging wondered if a 'faster' card would solve this?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Normal videos are not lagging on this phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] Jaeger_S2k:
Ok. To be honest I haven't seen the video I have taken having any lagging. I haven't tried fast panning.

Am I right with my assumption on the other flavours of SD?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Faster SD cards will give you faster read/write speed yes.
[Device Reviews and Information] crutzulee:
I noticed that the p6000 just got an unofficial cm11 build.. Does anyone have any comments on rom interest for this phone?

Personally, I don't care what flavor it is MIUI, CM etc..I would just like it they would release source for lollipop..
[Device Reviews and Information] Stelios85GR:
I just checked the compass and I is unstable.

I also checked the camera: It works perfect under good lighting conditions but it's totally useless in the dark. The photos are completely blurred.

Are there any fixes about these issues?

Another query I have is how can I make a nandroid back up an restore in this device?
[Device Reviews and Information] crutzulee:
Xda doesn't seem to be interested in this phone... You'll find more info here

[Device Reviews and Information] apazul:
Hi, about compass there is no solution for now. About the camera in the dark I have no problem with camera and flash, only to much noise because the camera sensor isn't Sony as Elephone sayed.

About a nandroid you must install a Recovery with this function.

http://www.movilesdualsim.com/tema/instalar-roms-en-p3000s.92597/

Here you can find in Spanish, information and tutorials and all the files needed yo install the recovery and a new Rom.

Ive just ordered this phone from geekbuying

worried now about the compass issue as runkeeper a lot to track my exercise can anyone confirm run keeper is tracked ok using gps

thanks geek
[Device Reviews and Information] al.ya:
No, compass sucks for any GPS use at low speed. Using GPS driving 'fast' (road) it function but if you use it in the city where you have to stop or running it is a piece of sheet. If you are a runner don't buy any Elephone mobile phone.

I have very little smartphone knowledge and doesent follow the market at all and dont even know if there's anything better phone i could get myself instead of this one?

if the phone is alot better and even 50 dollars more id even buy it, but please just tell me the thruth then if something else could be better thats hot on the market right now of china replica phones like these, please TELL ME :)

5.0 inch would be the most preffered, if bigger than that id be troubled carrying it around :(

CM12

I heard they are making CM12 for P3000S now.
[Device Reviews and Information] WearySky:
Elephone makes a lot of promises, but they have a little bit of ADHD. Lollipop was promised for the original P3000s (2gb/16gb 32 bit) back in January. No sign of it yet. Then they upgraded the P3000s to have 3gb of ram and a 64 bit processor, and promised lollipop for that one. No sign of it yet. They posted a video of a dev build of CM12 for the P3000s (on the old 32bit one, even) over a month ago, but nothing has been mentioned since.

But when I try to change the baseband he always gets this information (When you can write when you can not run out of network signal). This only happens in Elephone P3000S. Does anyone know which files are related to Baseband and mobile network? (3g / 4g)?

[Device Reviews and Information] pratikmore:
There are lots of changes in lollipop...I'm also trying to boot cm12 on my mt6592 phone...till its not booted
[Device Reviews and Information] lena cui:
they update phone fast, but they made the CM12 for P6000. And promise to make CM12 for P7000.:)
[Device Reviews and Information] WearySky:
The point I was making is that sometimes they make a lot of promises before a phone ships, and then fail to follow through with said promises once the phone is actually out (see, for example, the P3000s).
[Device Reviews and Information] jcdark:
In my case the problem was once the update-script, it simply can not install ... gives error. I changed all of systema and data partitions also tried to change the update-script, but does not install.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wojoeraf:
Hey there,

I hava a strange situation here.

I rooted my phone a while ago. These days I wanted to sell the phone and therefore getting back the stock rom. Didn't worked like I wanted and for some reason I put a PC10IMG.zip on the sdcard (which is the PC10IMG.zip from one of those guides e.g. shenye.co.uk/files/fya-vision-root/PC10IMG.zip) and it installed this one.

Now all seems to be the stock rom and everything fine but I recognized that I cannot access the recovery mode. Actually there comes only a picture of a phone with a red warning sign where I can only remove battery to restart.

In bootloader it says

VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0008
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.04.02.17_M2
eMMC-boot
Nov 17 2010,21:21:39

Trying fastboot flash recovery recovery.img results in writing 'recovery' ... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Also trying the guide from my first rooting on gaining temp root fails on the fre3vo debug part as no exploit is being found.

I have absolutely no idea here. Could someone help me?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
That's stock recovery, all is back yo stock except being s-off

You can't flash through fastboot right now due to shipped bootloader

But in the state it is in sounds nearly stock to me
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wojoeraf:
Ok but what would be the way to "install" a recovery mode? Because right now there isn't any or at least it isn't accessible.

When I go into recovery, I only see this: (picture can be seen at wornermath.de/pictures/recovery_vision.jpg)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
That's stock, just press both volume keys in there and options appear (or a combo of other keys, forget)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wojoeraf:
Ok, I got it. Thought it is something like an error screen.

Power and volume key up is the combo.

In there I can Reboot, Apply sdcard:update.zip, Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe cache partition.

Below all it says: E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

Is this normal?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Yeah, that happens, most often its nothing to worry about, just reboot, test everything, if all is good just boot back to recovery and do a factory reset then you can sell it
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wojoeraf:
Ok thanks. Made a factory reset and wiped cache. Error still occurs.

But I'm interested why I cant gain temp root with the fre3vo debug? Maybe the new owner of the phone wants to root it again...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
If they do they just need to flash a modified PC10IMG.zip to get an engineering bootloader and then they can do as they please from there

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elrod16:
You should be alright, the /cache partition on this phone doesn't hold too much important stuff. Just to be safe, reflash the CM zip, and wipe the cache and data. You will lose all of your apps and settings, but not wiping data usually causes problems when flashing different ROMs.

so since you can get to custom recovery, first fix your misc partition as mentioned in the first post

since you're S-ON, unfortunately there is no RUU for you. can you post a screenshot of your bootloader please, i'm interested in the date

can you explain what you flashed to get in this situation, with link to thread please

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
yes, that would be the first step

after that, (before messing around with firmware), install a radio from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2419699

i know they're not the latest (dont have any links handy atm), but install one of them in custom recovery, and see if baseband comes back

but fix your misc partition first
