[Elephone P7000] matteo2:
Has someone tried cm 12.1?
[Elephone P7000] thehobit:
Good to have a representative here.

It seems that the software was released before reaching acceptable maturity.

Can you provide some kind of a road map for fixing the major bugs?

Will CM or other developers get the source code to improve the software?
[Elephone P7000] keteflips:
I solved my flickering problem by activating the GPU forced render for 2D images in developer options.

Please take a look at this problem and force this option in next ROMs.

Thanks.
[Elephone P7000] JCVF:
List of issues to be fixed

Non flickering for me and I managed to root but:

What we all need is I think:

1/a way to update the phone without having an error message, I am talking OTA

2/a way to install a custom recovery, which and where

3/roms for P7000 and how to install them

My personal experience with the P7000:

A/in call quality bad. The sound is saturated even when the person on the line does not speak loud. I am not talking voip.

B/speakers are not powerful enough to have a decent conversation on voip

C/it seems the mic itself is not good enough for you to be clearly undestandable on voip

D/the brightness at maximum level is too low

Can ABCD be fixed with an update or this are these internal flaws?

Do other people experience same issues?
[Elephone P7000] fabokid5922:
Update: after installing the ota enabled update..everything works great..the camera is better..pictures come out great and all bugs have been dealt with
[Elephone P7000] monakh:
How is the in-call quality? Has it improved after the OTA?
[Elephone P7000] hitsugaya198:
I got mine yesterday, no issues so far. Mild screen flicker when brightness at the lowest level. So far I am very pleased with my purchase.
[Elephone P7000] uscool:
Hi all, i love to try this phone out, for price seems very good, would have been great if they had a 32gb version, also how is the battery life on this, as its seems high capacity also i guess 4g will work in UK ?

Thanks
[Elephone P7000] isko01:
Hi to all :)

last 20 day i ask on meny forum what they think about Elephone p7000. and i every time get a bad comment.

so what are you think now? is Elephone bow going on the good way?

and after update did p7000 make a better pictures?
[Elephone P7000] Nassnoussss:
System damaged

I just received my p7000 today and when I started the phone I got an update and when I pressed update now, i got a message saying: "your system was damaged, wireless update is disabled" any idea?
[Elephone P7000] edrift:
yes. You can only do OTA update if your build is after P7000_20150523.

I'm assuming yours came with P7000_20150521 like mine. If that's the case you'll need to flash using the elephone flashtool

See here: http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-5242-1-1.html#.VX1yqvmqqko
[Elephone P7000] Nassnoussss:
OTA

When I started the phone the camera was shut, the quality socks, does it get better after the update?
[Elephone P7000] Logi_Ca1:
I'm thinking of buying this phone, but I have a few questions:

1) How's the battery life? Haven't seen anyone quote a SOT figure for it.

2) Is the CM12.1 ROM for this phone real (as in built from source) or is it simply applying a CM skin?

Guys..

Who has experienced .... This stuff on my status bar when ever I install Xposed installer ???
[Elephone P7000] keteflips:
Same problem here.

I get a lot of images corruption after install Xposed.

An example:

I get some errors in other apps icons and images :(
[Elephone P7000] maxdozie:
Exactly .... !! Even when I get notifications.. It turns white!... And I can't see it.. I just restored my backup.... Now I can't access my sdcard due to no Xinternalsd...... Any help on how I can Play Games with Obb file placed in external sdcard???
[Elephone P7000] keteflips:
If you do a factory reset from CWM the problem get solved, without Xposed.

I make a Titanium Backup backup, factory reset and recover backup.
[Elephone P7000] maxdozie:
i dont get your message bro
[Elephone P7000] keteflips:
Sorry I have a very bad english :D

This steps are for uninstall Xposed, without reinstall the ROM.

If you phone's version is 20150521, you need to update it manual, for the OTA only supports the version after 20150525. :)

Realised that I want basically the same phone but with 5.0-5.2"with at least 80% screen to body ratio.

Might come back to elephone when I get that without losing too much battery.

[Elephone P7000] JDLourenco:
Guys just inform that To2C already inform that my phone are dispatch after one month.

Hope now that the problems are gone, hope....

Does any one had experience from the travel from China to Spain? The tracking number show that is from NL (netherlands) so they are using one NL couriers, does any one had experience to Europe from the delivery time?

If goes directly to my home one EU country or go first to NL warehouse, and this will avoid taxes in Spain?, I think not...
[Elephone P7000] Borat2:
It's PostNL, it goes through Holland first. Less than 2 weeks total time. you can track the package on 17track.net

PostNL apllies a yellow sticker to the package and that means VAT was not paid, but you might be lucky.
[Elephone P7000] JDLourenco:
Thanks BORAT2, hope that could arrive fast...

[Elephone P7000] Phil1988:
I'm glad that Elephone1 has joined the thread here.

Are you an official member of elephone?

Well maybe you and your company can think about this:

Samsung never had so much market share before they produced the Galaxy S1 i9000. (only 3,3% on Q4 2009)

The reason for this breack through was, that they give all information possible to the community.

They also gave some devices for free to some indipendend developers (like from cyanogenmod etc.) as gift for their work.

The community build firmwares/ROMs that had been much more stable, faster and had less battery drain.

The Galaxy S1 was (by far) not the best smartphone but was made to one by the develepers (also here from xda).

The same procedure but with better hardware was made on the SGS2.

Samsung devices were never by far the best. There have always been iPhones, HTC and other smartphones that had similar specs or better.

But HTC never had more then 10% market share (on Q3 2011, when Samsung had 22,7%).

Samsung has since years a market share of 25-30%. This is not because their phones where the best or the cheapest.

It's because of the good reputation from the past as they gave entusiasts the possibility to have one really great device (for years... as my old S2 running on CM11 proofes).

They will loose some market share now because they close this open approach with "us"... and also include barriers like "knox 0x1", not removable battery and missing SD-card support... you will see it in the near future.

What I am trying to say is:

If you give the community infos and sources, your company will definitely profit by a better distinction/reputation.

Companys are always welcome that work together with the users/commuinity and dont only get a good promotion but also better running devices - what leads to a better reputation....

Maybe you can think about it and talk with members of elephone about this because there have never been a company that had disadvantages because of open souces and therefore improve the software of their devices.

For what I heared, red and saw on reviews the P7000 has still a lot of issues on the newest official firmware (also if color correction by miravision is now included).

The CM12.1 is by far not stable, misses support of some hardware parts (e.g. fingerprint sensor) and is laggy.

You can easyly speed up the process of a better firmware and overall better software by sharing stuff with us.

Hope you will think about it.

Cheers

[Elephone P7000] lokhor:
I have the P7000 and have updated it with the latest firmware, which was a bit difficult due to the Mediatek driver installation on Windows 8.1 being very difficult. Anyway, using the latest build it's quite stable but I have found a couple of issues:

Charging is incredibly slow, the device comes with a 1A charger and it takes ~4hrs to fully charge. I have tried using a 2.4A charger and it doesn't get any faster, however using the charger from a Logitech UE Boom (which is 2A) it charges much faster.

Wifi is a bit slow, and sometimes takes a while to respond e.g. loading pages. The signal strength looks fine so not sure what is going on here. I have run speedtest and my internet is 130Mbps so I would expect 30-50Mbps over wireless, however the P7000 maxes at ~15Mbps and sometimes goes very slow like 2-3Mbps. LTE/4G is fine though, and I get ~65Mbps.

Google Play Music has an error sometimes saying 'Unfortunately, SmallWindow has stopped' which is irritating but doesn't appear to stop it playing

Does anyone know how to move apps to SD card on p7000? There is no option to do it and apps like app to SD card do not work.

Am I missing something
[Elephone P7000] neavissa:
I was once waiting for a new digitizer for my Note 3, and because I needed a phone, I bought a $35 dollar Android phone from Wal-Mart. The phones worked like a charm! Anyhow. It wouldn't let me copy app's to SD card either... I tried to use an app that fixes that "problem", but it didn't work. I also tried rooting it, but that didn't work either.

Having said that. Try to find that app. I don't remember what it was called, but I found it really easy using Google.

Hope that helps...

But the multi touch is just 5 points, I hope the touch screen works fine like any other phones.

I bought this phone through ebay (US) just the other day. Like most of the resellers online from China they are waiting for a new shipment to come in. I was going to purchase it from a reseller but then decided to purchase it through an ebay store that had more than 99% positive back. I guess it just made me feel more secure since I saw mixed reviews with the sellers.

Can someone make CM12.1a zip file of make a CWM backup and send it to me please
[Elephone P7000] Logi_Ca1:
Hi,

Just got my Grey P7000 two days ago. The stock ROM scrolling is pretty jerky (Seems like EVERY MTK phone suffers from this, without exceptions). I want to flash CM12.1 but the SP Flash tool is driving me crazy.

This is what I have done, according to the instructions.

1) Install SP Driver (Pain in the ass on Windows 8 due to driver enforcement)

2) Start SP Flash Tool and load the scatter file

3) Turn off phone, remove battery (I have tried with the battery in as well, same result), connect PC to phone with USB Cable

4) I have hear the characteristic sound of a USB device connected, as well as MT65xx Preloader appearing in my device manager, however it just goes away by itself. The SP Flash Tool don't show it pushing anything.

I'm stuck, I have tried doing this on 3 different computers and all of them are showing the same thing. A little help please? I hate this SP Flash Tool.
[Elephone P7000] Borat2:
I flashed the recovery with the battery not interested. When I tried with the battery inserted it didn't do anything.

Load the scatter file, click download, then attach the phone.

Still nobody answered my question above...
[Elephone P7000] DonaJuanita:
Are you sure you installed the drivers correctly? If you had, it wouldn't show the Preloader, this would only show in step 1.
[Elephone P7000] Logi_Ca1:
Roger, will note that I should do it without the battery inserted.

I think I did, I disabled the Windows 8 driver signature enforcement, then ran the DriverInstall file provided by Elephone as Administrator. I will probably try again, thanks for your reply!

I tried installing on a Windows XP machine and it finally worked. If you are on Windows 8 give it a try... Although CM12.1 on the P7000 is nothing impressive at the moment. The governor is too conservative, and ramps up TouchBoost too slowly to be useful.

Elephone, can you consider releasing future updates as a TWRP flashable zip? In my current situation, I have to flash the phone at work, which may not always be possible. Barring that I may actually have to set up an XP VM on my Windows 8 machine just to flash ROMS.

They have production and quality problems which they are concealing

I ordered my P7000 on 30 April 2015 directly from Elephone.cc, and have been given many false promises by them regarding a delivery date. They twice used the same pathetic ruse of claiming my address details were not correct (as others have experienced).

I believe they have production and quality problems which they are concealing from customers. They are being dishonest and potentially robbing buyers of the money already sent.

I am cancelling my order and demanding an immediate refund.

There are plenty of other good and trustworthy manufacturers.
[Elephone P7000] Sp1tfire:
I cancelled my order long time ago. I ordered on 13th of May from an aliexpress shop and seller kept delaying the delivery date. Seeing P7000 reviews and the problems it has, seems I made the right choice by cancelling the order.

[Elephone P7000] DonaJuanita:
Guys, what do you say P7000 or P8000?

It seems that P7000 is better due to its GPU & CPU, but P8000 has a better battery life (non-removable however).

P7000 has received great feedback from its dev community, CM 12.1 is fine, the newest Android ROM is also better and the Lenovo Vibe UI will improve soon.

P8000 has not received anything just yet, so it is uknown.

What do you say? Any other alternatives as a phone the same price range? Not really interested in the Jiayu S3 or the Ulefone Be Touch.
