Yeah, already read about the problems with the headphone. Not a big concern for me, as I have used a headphone on my S3 a maximum of 20 times over the last two years.

For listening to music in bed (without annoying my wife) I still use my ZTE Blade ;)

So, I ordered one and will see how it fits me. What bugs me more is probably a not-so-well fitting USB plug. But I have to see if this is a flaw on the phone I get.

I am a little bit impressed by the size of the phone. Hope that it fits well into the pocket of my jeans. This is where I usually carry my phone around. It's a "little" larger than my old phone.

We'll see if this goes well or if it gives me hematoma :D

The freezes sound like a software problem. Maybe this gets fixed with an update. I read that ulefone already fixed the bug with the red spots when taking photos. So it seems they are really working on it. FYI, I contacted the customer support of ulefone about Android 5 update and this is what they told me:

Sounds good to me. A chinese company that cares about it's customers, impressive.

Conclusion: If I don't like it at all, I will put it on eBay. Probably will get about the amount I spend on ordering it from China when I sell it here in Germany. So, not that much of a risk at all.

Thanks. I just subscribe to another sim to have 6 extra Go, 1Go wasn't enough with the 4G ^^.

And the dual sim config works well. This is very good !
[Device Reviews and Information] mrsim:
the only problem i have with this device is the battery life sucks...SOT is miserable when gaming or having wifi or data on constantly...which i do all of the time with every device i have...apart from that the build quality is a little below par but they gotta cut costs somewhere with such a cheap device...am looking forward to all the other 64bit devices that will be flooding the market soon as they are very impressive whith GPS and cooling...these devices never seem to heat up no matter what you do to them which is great...also the touch screen could do with some calibration as you have to sometimes hit it quite hard to get a response

and again the headphone problem...this is proof that there is NO quality control in china unless you buy from the big firms like xiaomi or oppo
[Device Reviews and Information] timbernot:
I think i must be the lucky one ;)

I have tremendous battery life - when i first got it,it was probably five times longer lasting than my HTC ONE m7ul with tuned up custom rom on,now down to approx 3 times but think the battery calibration is now set correctly-ie,when i first got it,it would stay at 40`s percentage for longer than it was in the 90`s -And, never had a screen protector on in 2months and i`m rough with devices -Not one scratch chip or blemish on-screen or edges at all. My headfone from htc one fit nice and sound is amazing-loud speaker sound not so great towards Htc one`s stereo n base speakers though-- But everything else is better ;)

I am the lucky one :)

Ps,i got this with the intention of testing and if Crap i will give to the missus and me carry on with my HTC one-- but HTC one is in cupboard as a back-up now just in case this Be Pro packs up :)
[Device Reviews and Information] nate1975:
Wow, battery life has been one of the best things about this phone for me so far. Screen on time is about the same as anything else I've used and I'm seeing great screen off time. I think it would be a lot better if I could get the brightness to drop more at night, but I think most people like their phones brighter than I do.

may it work for any MTK6732?

Hello, do you think these recoveries may work also for any MTK6732? I have an Axgio Neon N3, MTK6732 (http://www.axgio.com/product_N3.html).

Thanks for your time!
[Device Reviews and Information] sergio_sergic:
Hello,

I think I have solved problem with freezes and reboots on my Be Pro. It's not perfect solution, but it works (for now). Don't know which step exactly helps it, but try it if you still have problems with yours. I have rooted phone with iRoot, then blocked ads in lucky patcher, installed Solo launcher and solo lock screen (locks and turns off screen with double tap), installed greenify from play store to hibernate even system apps (I suspect that one of the pre-installed apps was causing F&R) and finally enabled double tap to wake up screen. This way I don't have to use power button (another suspect for the freezes and reboots). Haven't had reboots in 4 days now.

Good luck and let me know if it works for you.

Edit: I forgot to mention ZUI locker.

Update: it's f.....g doing it again.
[Device Reviews and Information] chan200606:
I have experienced the freeze/reboot only a few times and haven't had it for the last couple of weeks. The main change that I could remember was changing the "default write disk" to Phone storage instead of SD card, as I read somewhere that a "marginal" SD card could lead to stability problems. Not sure if this is indeed the problem, or I have just been lucky not triggering the freeze/reboot lately.

Note if I force a reboot (either with the power button or through an app such as Xposed), my Be Pro would still typically reboot not once but 2-3 times before settling down and letting me use it. So the reboot problem is still there somewhere.
[Device Reviews and Information] Matticus_Finch:
My power button is actually broken. I've had it set to reboot once a day in the middle of the night but I still occasionally experience freezing and reboots, it was more often before though. It will often freeze or reboot if I get sent a hangouts or SMS message. Nothing else consistent that I've noticed.
[Device Reviews and Information] sergio_sergic:
My was getting really out of hand with freeze/reboots. In average, 10 times a day. Anyway, I was trying out different things, and decided to share what helped with my phone, in order to help other people who have same problems.

I think it's a hit and miss with these phones. Many people don't have any problems whatsoever, some experience couple of reboots, and some, like me, ridiculous number of it...

Now that it works properly (not to jynx it), it's not a bad phone at all, save from camera quality.
[Device Reviews and Information] Razorback55:
Anyone knows if theres a chance to get Cyanogenmod running on this phone?

I would even pay a dev to port CM to the Be Pro. Or is there any guide to port myself?
[Device Reviews and Information] foxtrot_:
The lolipop update is finally announced for the end of April.... I understand that they prefer to release a non buggy version but come on.... don't you think that a 3-months delay (since early February promised initially) isn't too much ??

[Device Reviews and Information] Matticus_Finch:
Too much for me, I'm giving up. Time to look for a new phone I think. For now I get around my problems by carrying around an old Samsung SIII with a broken screen that somebody gave me.

Just out of curiosity, did everyone who has problems with their phone (besides headphone jack) purchase from gearbest?
[Device Reviews and Information] german_psycho:
lol.. Support told me via mail last week that the release is expected in early April.

Think they really don't know when it's done.

The elephone P6000 at least got some beta releases. It's a pity that there isn't something like this for the be pro out yet.
[Device Reviews and Information] sergio_sergic:
I purchased mine from gearbest. Wish I hadn't.
[Device Reviews and Information] foxtrot_:
I would be interested in a cyanogen mod port too. I thought about porting it myself but I think we can't do it for now because we need the drivers and I'm not sure that mediatek has released the sources yet.

Even if I'm a computer scientist, I have absolutely no knowledge in making a rom so it would be better if a pro do it.

Is there anyone here who would be able do make a cyanogen mod port for the be pro ? :)

Yeah I saw your post. What a joke...

They should work harder on the update because if they release 2 devices per month promising an update to each of them, I don't think they will be able to release the updates...

A beta is too much buggy in general so I would prefer a good ROM xD
[Device Reviews and Information] timbernot:
I purchased mine from gearbest and I experience no issues at all what others are experiencing ...I'm the lucky one .

I have cwm installed with full system bk up and a strip out version using 'system app remover' (root) required...from playstore,backs up system apps in the trash bin folder,where they can be retrieved and re installed if any issues..

I have nova launcher instead and let's be truthful,this is a well nice slim system to begin with and with above even more and probably tooned to that of a custom ROM ;) mines blazingly rapid;)

Hello i have made a video showing my issues with Be Pros multitouch.

Im typing with my thumbs on two different spots and the "fake" touches between them occur when typing and gaming and making it hard to use it.

Im a fast typer btw so im experiencing it quite often.

[YOUTUBE]9VOIUkM4ZqQ[/YOUTUBE]

Ironically the OnePlus One (which Ulefone tried to clone with the Be Pro) had almost the same issue last year, they could get it fixed with a software update.

I reported this to Ulefone and hoping for a fix.

Are they any solutions maybe for this u know about?

Greetings Razor
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
Razor, i think that the problem you showed us is a "no problem" for standard use. Why do you think it was a real problem in standard use, with keyword writing? Pinch in/out during surfing internet? Or during game? Many cheap phone had only two touch points and were very low sensivity, so be pro aeems to me better than others....
[Device Reviews and Information] t-minik:
oh yeah

Razor, i encounter the same problem, when typing fast sometime keyboard think you swipe on it.

please leave comment on ulefone facebook.

Ciao, at the end I've found an agreement with the seller and I hope they refund me or at least they substitute my smartphone.... I hope because I'm experimenting serious problem with the seller Myefox.it... :-/ ...they initially won't recognise me the "freeze & reboot" problem even if I sent them a video proof...after I've involved Paypal they contacted me for RMA substitution... then the "****ing Paypal" make me lose the dispute because the transaction happen 45 days before...and Myefox.it changed again their feeling suddenly .... I've tried to explain to the Paypal idiots that an hardware problem you can get it only when you receive the phone... by the way, now they changed the 45days limit in more then 100.... ****ing idiots...sorry for my language but they managed the situation in a very ambiguous way, they told me absolutely to don't send back the phone to the seller before Paypal solution...they accepted my dispute knowing the date of the transaction and then they refused to help me... very "good" job :mad:

P.S.

sorry for my english ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] ksafan:
I definitely like it. Got it from Gearbest for USD148. Screen, Camera, LTE and GPS are excellent. The only thing(minor stuff) are the Vol and Power buttons; are a bit flaky and soft. LED notification is a bit deep and hard to see unless you're close to the device. Otherwise, it is worth the money you paid for it.

Maybe, I'm a bit lucky to not have the problems other people are having. One thing though; I disabled this app called 'Device Management' since the Anti virus says this is a trojan. So it might have something to do with those reboots and freezes. Also I changed the Runtime to ART instead of Dalvik cache and it runs even more smoothly.

freeze reboot ulefone be pro

I bought 2 bepros and one of them having freeze and reboot issue. I tryed many things and nothing really worked.

Except one thing. If I change sleep time to 30 min (settings/display/sleep ) and keep phone awake it doesn't freeze .. It drains battery but at least phone is functioning...

If I let phone go sleep usually it freezes on the lock screen and reboots...

Anyone else finding the Ulefone BT audio to be poor?

When dialling or answering calls via any of my three car headunits, the headunits will change status to show "dialling" / "incoming call" and then "speaking" or "connected", but I can only hear the audio coming from the speaker on the back of phone itself, not via the headunit/car speakers. With all my other phones, the audio would be coming from the headunit/car speakers by this point in the call process.

When the car says "Connected" with the Ulefone, if I press the Phone / Enter button on the car headunit, the audio will switch to the headunit and come out of the car's speakers. Even then though, the audio is very crackly and pausing rythmically. Audio from just the phone's speaker is normally OK, so this is a BT-specific problem. The headunits are all different kinds (Toyota / JVC / Mitsubishi), but they all have the same "have to press the Phone/Enter button" and crackly audio problems, which none of my previous phones had.

Seems to be an odd way to operate the BT - none of my other phones have required you to press buttons on the headunit after the call is connected to get the audio to switch to the car from the phone. I've not modded the phone, or changed any default settings.

If you need to use BT audio, avoid this one.
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
Try to unselect audio optimization for bt in the audio profile options.

I´m facing the same problem. I did not find the way how to change the wallpaper on the lockscreen.. :(

Does anybody have some idea how to do it??
[Device Reviews and Information] umberto1978:
You must use stock launcher, hold on an empty space and go on select lockscreen wp or both (home page and lockscreen). The only problem is that you can choose only from preloaded images, noway to choose from other sources.

If you have a rooted device than use xposed framework, search and install a module named "Lockscreen tweaks" and than you can do whatever you want. Gravitybox doesn't seem to do the same thing for some unknown reason.

And....if someone want to enable live wallpaper feature download this archive from my dropbox, unzip from pc or device (using es file manageror similar), DO NOT FLASH on recovery (it's not a flashable zip), copy files inside on system/app, give rw-r-r permission and reboot!

Enjoy livewallpapers on UleFone be pro.

Solved - sort of...The Ulefone does not like to be connected to two BT devices at once. I have a Sony Watch SW2, and I only get the audio problems when the watch is connected. Turn the watch off, and the audio works normally with the headunit.

Still annoying though - none of my other Androids have had this issue, and all of them were OK to have the SW2 on at the same time as the headunits. The watch has no audio functions at all, so I can't see why the Ulefone has issues with it for audio.
[Device Reviews and Information] umberto1978:
Beta public released today, you can find at this LINK.

I used THIS version of SP flash tools.

Install drivers first, if you don't have on your pc already from HERE

Before you upgrade your device, backup all informations (Wipe data is mandatory before you flash new update) and store them on external sd or PC).

Turn off device WITHOUT CONNECT on pc.

Unrar rom in any folder, launch spflash tool and select scatter file in rom folder; select "DOWNLOAD ONLY" from choice menu on the left, hit "download" button and connect phone while turned off.

If sp flash tool recognize device you willl a red bar on bottom of the program interface, wait until the process ends and when you see the green "OK" disconnect cable and reboot normally.

First time turning on, device will take some time, rebooting itself once cause of the system encription, so WAIT process till it ends, even if it seems stucked at some point.

That's it, enjoy Ulefone BE PRO lollipop.

Rom is working very well, only issue is with google play service, but from my point of view is good (also for a daily driver).

This is one of the first chinese smartphones updated to android Lollipop, and if the quality of the beta is as good i think official OTA is imminent.

No root seems to be available for lollipop, different systems, restrictions, api's.

[Device Reviews and Information] timbernot:
Not done it yet sergio ? were you rooted and have twrp recovery installed beforehand ?- did you not revert back to old recovery first ?

anyway flash back the rom on needrom with flashtool 5.142 etc -leaving preloader unticked - set it up and go through the procedures of updating again - PIA but your not bricked for good ;)

i have just downloaded the one from needrom just for that purpose of re-installing my CWM back up of 4.4.4 if this is LP and hammers the ram - will crack on with it later - just recovered my htc one from scratch need a rest before doing this:eek:
[Device Reviews and Information] timbernot:
Ok,just flashed the recovery.img file only from the needrom with f-tool 5.142 (unticked) everything else - restarted device- went back to settings- wireless update- it went thru motions of update with android spinning cog etc - filled the bar- rebooted itself with a new ulephone logo and i have lp installed -- YES ! ( had to take out the battery and connect to pc after screen went blank and fone unresponsive )- reinstalled battery and booted - ulephone on screen for approx 4mins then it fully loaded -Thats the way to go ^^^^!:cool::laugh::cool::highfive:

All set up how i like it - approx 200mb`s of ram lost towards kit-kat but i can live with that :) just gonna check if i can root it now and wait for carlivs magic to work ;)

Lovely and smooth system so far - Ulefone rocks !!!

Yes it was rooted, but it wasn't the problem, it updated just fine, but it wouldn't turn on. I did what you did, took out the battery, waited for about 5 min, then it turned on just fine. It wasn't running very smooth though, but couple of reboots and cache clearing took care of it.
