Not that I'm one to lash out at a company, especially one offering what seems to be an amazing device, but IMO, this company is a joke.

4AM CST, at my computer for their "Reserved Email" flash sale for $159 on this P7000, and after several times re-entering my email and waiting on the please wait, generating ELE CODE, I get this "we're sorry, you didn't get a code, but save 10 bux or buy one of these other great devices page".

I will give them credit for building up demand and creating hype, but this is sad. Like a car rental company over booking and I'm waiting at the counter like, what do you mean you don't have a car for me, I reserved one, wtf? And as I said, not one to bash or trash talk, but if this is how they're going to conduct business, then they don't deserve my money in the slightest. I guess I will be staying with my N6 for now. As they say, if it seems to good to be true, it probably is.

Also attached a screenshot, for laughs.

if someone took the code I'm interested;

thank you

I am french (sorry for the translation)
[Elephone P7000] freetoaster:
Anyone actually able to order with a code they received?

I was 'lucky' but was unable to use my code at pandawill. It wouldn't work on their site. They also said the code was also only good on the 11th. Since it was end of business day when the codes were issued this meant there was no way to apply it with customer service.

Now of course they say its expired as it isn't the 11th anymore.
[Elephone P7000] siralsmooth:
So the flash sale codes were good for a short window? That's a fail and a half.
[Elephone P7000] gkakin:
shenanigans!

The P7000 Wednesday Limited flash sale is a bunch of BS. Went to one store right when the "snap" became available, website said phone was soldout. Then went to another, they want me to pay the full price and then "maybe" I get the ELE code for $70 refund, if not I get $10 coupon. big maybe

Not saying $229 is not a great price for the specs (pending reviews) but don't like the gimmick
[Elephone P7000] MrEdgar:
Yeah, their promotions have been kinda weird. I've been trying to get this phone for a while now, from the first pre-order event, several reservations and I've got 0 to show for it. No codes or reservations anywhere. The fact that it is a chinese company make it kinda difficult with the weird translations and incomplete information. But I'm still going to try to get one, eventually. I'd just be really excited if I could get that lower price (makes a difference with import taxes too).
[Elephone P7000] siralsmooth:
Well No LTE on T-Mobile was the final straw that made me say I'm done. Seems like a great phone but a sketchy company and lacking US LTE bands, I'll politely pass.

Rooting and validity in India

Hello,

I want to know whether this phone will work in India , as the Government has banned the use of mobiles without a valid IMEI. Most of Chinese phones are affected. What about rooting this phone and installing xposed.

I heard Elephone is coming with a double boot mobile which can boot into 5.0 android as well windows 10 . When it will be launched? any idea?

What about accessories like protective cases and tampered glasses, where it will be availabel?

Thanking You

Elephone p7000 is preselling now, and i saw many resellers hold the flash sale at $159.99. But i don't catch it. :( Where can i get elephone p7000 rom?

And now we have to wait 5 days again for another ''flash sale''

[Elephone P7000] 1979crazy:
Managed to get one in yesterday's flash sale for $159 just got to wait for it to be delivered to the UK.

Flash sale was a nightmare as websites kept crashing but got one from to2c.com so fingers crossed it turns up!
[Elephone P7000] SBbz:
Wow. Unbelievable.
[Elephone P7000] Rizera:
Really? Can you please give us detail on the process on how you were able to do it?

It is actually a very hard task.
[Elephone P7000] 1979crazy:
First few I tried they had sold out at discounted price or websites failing, almost gave up and then noticed a page that hadn't loaded had appeared and added phone to basket, clicked to pay by PayPal, signed in etc and then it crashed going back to to2c.com.

Clicked refresh but thought I'd missed out and eventually it loaded and I completed the purchase. The money has gone from my PayPal account and I've had a confirmation email from to2c.com.

Not sure when it will arrive as in my rush to buy selected Singapore post and say up to 60 days and the phone isn't released for another 10 days!

[Elephone P7000] Sp1tfire:
Most asian shops mark products as gifts with a value of 30$ when delivering goods to EU, so the buyer will pay less taxes or won't pay VAT or import taxes at all. Depends on how strict customs want to be. I always got away without paying anything else, because sellers declared lower values.

Dual 4G LTE???

Hi guys, I'm thinking of getting one of these but is it dual 4g, ie both sim trays capable of utilising 4g?
[Elephone P7000] Sp1tfire:
Probably not, I think just one sim will be capable of handling data.

It should be dual 4G. Else what's the point?
[Elephone P7000] Sp1tfire:
The main point is having two different sims capable of voice in the same phone. I know older dual-sim phones had only one sim slot capable of handling data. I don't know if Elephone P7000 can handle 4G or even 3G on both sims.

Anyone had any luck so far? Seems totally impossible to get one of the flash sale devices to me. The retailers are selling literally 2 or 3 units at the low price (15000 units/week my arsehole!), and about half of the retailers websites go down as soon as the sale gets close! Totally worthless.
[Elephone P7000] Sp1tfire:
Yes, that's what happened last week as well. I managed to order one from an aliexpress shop last week. Seems it was the only website that ran flawlessly. Shops with individuals webpages were either down or phones gone in seconds. 15.000 phones is just a marketing stunt, I doubt they sell more than a couple hundreds during these promos, seeing most shops only offer 5-10 devices.

[Elephone P7000] s7yler:
Guys! to get it 70 dollars cheaper than the normal retail price, search for ELECODES on Youtube. Some are giving the codes away :)
[Elephone P7000] scoobydoo99:
Focalprice are one of the longer established Chinese retailers.

I got one from Focalprice for $159 with the first batch of voucher codes.

I've also got one coming from Gearbest for $197 that I bought the week before the first promotion as I didn't expect to get a $70 discount code.

The Gearbest phone is in the process of being shipped, no word yet from Focaolprice.
[Elephone P7000] reganlives:
Guys, can someone help me out here please...do we need codes to order these phones or not? I've been hanging around all day trying to get one but as everyone else states, the links go dead or don't work or sites crash and then even if you can get onto a site the price isn't the discounted one...

Help!

I hope we will receive it from Focalprice soon.
[Elephone P7000] PJBXDA:
Edit: Please ignore this as S7YLER has explained it later.

Suspect this is pure BS! They have stopped using the codes for one and also having a code did not guarantee you getting one it was still only while stock lasted.

Also the some that are giving the codes away happen to be a guy called, wait for it.......S7YLER!
[Elephone P7000] s7yler:
PJBXDA stop spreading false info, you can be negative and suspect what you want. But not only I give codes away, many do it as seen on http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-4515-1-1.html#.VVxgSPRQpFk And the codes are from Elephone. If you order it on the Website they provide, it is sure you will get one for that price, and of course there will be more stock, the production is in progress now.
[Elephone P7000] PJBXDA:
In that case Mr S7TYLER I sincerely apologise for impuning your reputation, just sounded very dodgy when you said 'some are giving codes away' when it was you, my suspicious mind jumped to conclusions after all this rubbish with Elephone saying there are thousands of phones and suppliers saying they are only getting 5-10.

My apologies again and I shall try ans get myself one of them codes, thanks for the heads up!

I have also edited my earlier post.
[Elephone P7000] scoobydoo99:
I preregistered for the flash sale events a couple of weeks ago, at that time you had to select a retailer, I probably chose focalprice at that time as it's one of the few retailers I recognised.

So I received an email from elephone the day before the sale with a link to the flash sale.

When the flash sale started I clicked my link and after a few screen timeouts and selecting prev screen to try again I got a screen telling me I'd been successful and focalprice was the retailer where the code would work.

Shortly after I received an email with the code.

The instruction from elephone was to put the phone at full price in my basket and contact focalprice customer service to get them to reduce the price before purchasing.

However, after finally getting a response from focalprice customer services, ( the phone had been in my basket for 24 hours at that point) they said I had to complete the purchase at full price then they would use my code and apply a $70 refund.

So I purchased at full price, forwarded my code to focalprice customer service and I received a $70 refund about an hour later.

Just waiting for info on dispatch now.

No, Gearbest took payment 3 days ago and were supposedly packaging the phone for dispatch according to their system. Emailed them yesterday and they said they expected it to dispatch on the 25th - we'll see what happens.

No word from focalprice as yet - they haven't taken payment yet.

Both phones are 4 to 7 day delivery.

*UPDATE* Checked the focalprice order and they have taken payment now - and their website says dispatch on the 31st (someone above mentioned a weeks delay)
[Elephone P7000] Logi_Ca1:
Going by the rate at which Elephone is putting out new phones (P8000 and Vowney coming out WTF), I'm really worried about software updates despite their promise of Cyanogenmod. Reason being that they have yet to release the source for any of their Cyanogenmod ROMs for any of their phones. Without that, we have no idea if their CM is simply just a skin, and the community would be unable to contribute to the ROM in any way, which destroys the whole idea of open source in the first place.

Big question here

Hi there, everbuying.net gives me 198USD as a refund so I am thinking to buy this phone.

Questions:

Does it have a double tap to wake up feature? It runs Android 5.0, so it should have.

Are both sim slots 4G? Can someone clarify that?

Is the battery capacity true?

Finally, everbuying sets release date as 20/06/2015. WTF?
[Elephone P7000] Sp1tfire:
I saw an unboxing and short review earlier on youtube and it has double tap to wake. As for the battery and both sim being 4G I can't confirm. They probably list the phone as being available on 20/06 because Elephone will deliver phones to resellers that promoted presales and flash sales first and probably a little bit later to other shops.

Right guys, on today's fire sale I managed to get one but....

I've been charged $229.99 instead of $159.99 even after applying the voucher and it displaying the correct price so now I need to try and sort it out. Not happy at all! :(
[Elephone P7000] scottharris4:
Anyone know what the wifi range is like on this? I've read reviews of some Ulefone's and some other brand of Chinese phone that said the wifi range was terrible.
[Elephone P7000] DonaJuanita:
Thanks man, really happy it has a double tap feature. The main problem is that I use the on/off button all the time so it goes bad quite soon.

If it is indeed on the 20/06, that is so so bad.... I have to return my current phone to get the refund and then buy the Elephone, so I will stay without a phone for more than a month!! :(

I really hope the 4G includes both sims, at least one 4G and on 3G. I am half a year in the UK and half other in Greece, and since one sim is standard and the other is micro sim, I would have to buy new sims every 6 months to switch the 4G capacity. :/

Another question, if anyone knows: sound quality?

I really love listening to music while on my way outside, and I hate the plastic cheap sound quality of all the other chinese phones I had. Do you think it will be just decent enough? Maybe a loud speaker too? Good quality in calls?

Thanks!
[Elephone P7000] DonaJuanita:
Never had a problem with GPS/Wi-Fi/Signal in general with all of my Chinese phones.

Note this is an Elephone, not Ulefone.
[Elephone P7000] fernandogdl:
What app is used to see than info?, i have a Kingzone Z1 and i really want to see if the phone has a Sony Sensor or not, it takes blurry pictures in the edges of objects like the ulefone be pro mentioned here, but i can't find any app that tells me the real sensor in the phone and lenses

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 PM ----------

Hello

I don't have the Elephone P7000 BUT i do have a Kingzone Z1 that uses the same SOC and Hardware, the 4g and 3g can be used in both sim slots, but not at the same time, if one sim has 3G/4G the other will go to Edge or GPRS, and viceversa, you can choose from which SIM to use the 3G/4G data and switch it at will, that's how i have it, and i'm 100% sure that this phone will be the same as they share same hardware.

About Sound quality, that really does depend on manufacturer, mine has a decent loudspeaker, not the best, but decent, 3.5mm aux out sounds good, and i have a very good Mic quality and excellent sound quality on calls
[Elephone P7000] s7yler:
That's not an app, but a secret code *#*#116#*#*

But it will not work on every phone. Only if it supports it.
[Elephone P7000] fernandogdl:
Thanks,

Tried it but it does not work on my phone..
[Elephone P7000] DonaJuanita:
Thanks, that's great!!! I know that Zenfone 2 and some other only support 2G on the second slot, so wanted to confirm.

About sound quality, how does the music sound with its earphones?
[Elephone P7000] fernandogdl:
Sound Quality is Good, Actually it's better than previous mtk chinese devices; IT CAN IMPROVE using the equalizer and earphone volume is a little bit low if you compare it to a dedicated music device (like an IPOD) but average compared with most branded Android Devices, good news is that being an MTK device, you can Boost volume of every sound aspect, (loudspeaker, earpiece and earphones) in the engineer mode, by rooting and installing MobileUncle tools or going trough enginering mode.
[Elephone P7000] DonaJuanita:
That sounds positive! I am also thinking to maybe root it and install VIPER4ANDROID, to improve it further.

Anyway, that really made me more confident! Thanks!
[Elephone P7000] fernandogdl:
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea, to be honest i'm satisfied with my sound quality so i didn't even think on VIPER4ANDROID before, as i only installed it on previous chinese devices with poor sound quality.

Glad it helped
[Elephone P7000] scottharris4:
Thanks. Elephone and the ASUS ZenFone 2 is kinda what I am learning towards so that is good to hear.
[Elephone P7000] DonaJuanita:
One last question (sorry to be a pain):

Do you think if I buy some really good earphones (Elephone does not include them in general, so I will need to buy some) like the ones from Apple, will they be compatible? If not the same, maybe something really similar.

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

Same here, I had also Mlais M7 in my mind. Ended up that Elephone is the best. Zenfone 2 with 4GB of RAM is too pricey for what it offers in my opinion (some people had over-heating problems and things like that).
[Elephone P7000] fernandogdl:
I think that if you are deep into music good earphones are a MUST HAVE, as the earphones included in these Chinese phones are not that good regularly so they really don't help with the appreciation or the real sound quality, All earphones are compatible with every Chinese 3.5 mm out jack, so don't worry, your brand new earphones will work on the elephone, i remember using Bose speakers and earphones in my old Vowney v5 with no issues.

I also saw the Mlais M52, M7 and Zenfone.

First of all I've had a lot of chinese phones by now and by experience, the first thing you should consider in buying these cheap phones is build quality, Mlais offers performance beasts by far lower prices, but at the cost of only using plastic instead of any metal, and cheap plastic that will eventually break (i tell you this on personal experience). So the Zenfone wins in the build quality here, but i also think it's to pricey compared with other well built Chinese phones. Also Mlais offers tempered glass instead of Gorilla glass 3, i've had tempered glass phones before, they are good, but they get too Greasy on the screen and that's becasue Gorilla glass uses something used as "Oleophobic" that means that the grease left in the screen by your fingers, will be less and it's easily removed, with tempered glass is hard to remove, that's my experience.

So that's why i was left only with the option of Jiayu S3 (amazing devices!!) Elephone P7000 and Kingzone Z1. all three offer excellent build quality with metal frames, gorilla glass, good hardware and below 220 usd. BUT i didn't trust Elephone because of previous false info used to sell units (P3000, P6000), so i don't trust if they use the real hardware advertised in the P7000, and it is still on pre-sale, and i really needed the phone quick.

The Jiayu S3 was teh best to me, but it does not support 3G bands in Mexico, so it was not an option anymore, my only option was the Kingzone Z1, and let me tell you it is a great device, they also lied with some specs, for example they claimed that the audio has stereo speaker and no it's mono. but sound decent, and for the price i really can't complaint, It's a perfect device, despite of week GPS
