Overheating final fixed!

I have been trying hard to fixed the overheating problem on this phone ever since I bought it, tried many cpu kernel apps like Trickster Mod, Kernel Adiutor etc.., they work till some extend but sometimes the cpu will still shoot over the frequency I set and cause overheat. So the issue is not permanently fixed. I have been hesitate to try skemchris method because he tested it on kitkat 4.4.4 but today I gave it a try and seriously it works GOOOD! Thanks skemchris!

So I'm going to list out the steps more clearly so Ecoo E04 owners can fixed this overheating issue once and for all.

I'm on stock rom lollipop 5.0 20150528, 3GB ram, you need root (only works with supersu root) and busy box (Stephen) installed, ALWAYS DO A BACKUP FIRST

1. First download the 2 files I attached below, Uni-init+v1.0.apk and 3ctoolbox.free-13901.apk

2. Install Uni-init+v1.0.apk first, than open and click on Activate. After activate, click on Verify, if you got a message saying Init.d supported, than you are set.

3. Install 3ctoolbox.free-13901.apk, (you will get a xposed module message after installation, ignore it and DO NOT ENABLE THIS MODULE ON XPOSED)

4. After installation open it, click on the top left and menu will come out, choose CPU manager.

5. Set your cpu desire frequency, I chose 1.17GHz, Governor set to powersave or userspace (userspace locked at max speed).

6. Click the red circle on the top and choose init (see the attachment picture if you can't find), the circle will turn white and you will get a message setting saved in Init.d

7. Reboot.

- If you get operation failed or unable to select init, reboot again and you should be able to set now.

That's it! Really happy to have tried this out now my phone temperature can go as low as 38 degree celsius, see my picture attachment below, I'm running Titanium backup to backup all apps and the temperature stays at 42 degree celsius! Before this my temperature was over 55 degree celsius when using those cpu tunning apps.

Once again thanks to skemchris!

Ecoo E04 owners, enjoy your powerful and no overheat phone! :)

Overheating final fixed!

I can confirm that, the suggestion made by Phonememe at #723 using the 3C Toolbox for addressing the overheating problem really works. Thanks m8.

For the first time yesterday I could use my phone the way I wanted without this annoying overheating message popping up.

On the other hand I find the whole situation a bit stupid, pay for a fast phone and then must lower the speed to make it work properly.

[Device Reviews and Information] Phonememe:
Glad it works for you :) the method was from skemchris, I just make it more clear, ya very true and is sad that we need to clock down the cpu to reduce heat for this phone... but I don't notice much different between 1.17 or 1.69, maybe will feel different in heavy gaming. I'm now trying more extreme heat sink method to further reduce the heat for this phone, will post if result is good.

Hi all, I am experiencing a very big problem with this phone. I think I mentioned this before but I tam having problems with dialling and the call quality on this phone.

Firstly half of the time I try to dial people it either takes a long time to start ringing or doesn't ring at all and I need to end the call and redial. I also have issues with people trying to dial me and not getting through. Another issue is that I often have people say to me that that they can't hear me very well while on the phone, I notice this on my side as well.

These issues happen wherever I am however high or low my signal is. My wife is on the same network as me and doesn't have the same issues so it has to be the phone. Does anyone have any ideas or solutions to this issue as this is turning out to be a very big issue.
[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
You dont need xposed to adjust the cpu settings. There are many applications in the app store that can help you out. You are rooted so thats good.

For instance, use TricksterMod to do the same for adjusting the cpu speed.

Hey dude

If you have a recovery, make a full backup on a external SD.

After this you could flash the rom you had installed for this device and startup normally.

Add your google account and wait for it to settle down.

Reflash the recovery (if nessasary) and restore your data. Dont try to root.

NOW try the phone for at least one day to find out if anything improved with your problem. It could be a modification that ruined your device at some point. With a stoch installation the phone should work just fine. If not, well maby there is something wrong with your device dude.

Hi Axelmam,

Thanks for your reply. Dd you mean to reinstall KitKat? or can I install Lollipop without root and see if it helps? I am assuming that the stock version of Lollipop should work fine.
[Device Reviews and Information] kiki_kris:
lol

Hey, thanks. I installed TricksterMod and can chance the governor but i cant fix the frequency. I tick 0.4-1.5GHz for the cpu but it jumps over to 1.7?
[Device Reviews and Information] Phonememe:
Hi, when you open up 3ctoolbox and go to cpu manager, you can see the min and max frequency buttons on the left click on them to change frequency and the governor is just above them. Are those buttons disabled for you? Or what error message you get?
[Device Reviews and Information] kiki_kris:
Yes they are disabled.
[Device Reviews and Information] Phonememe:
Since you can installed busy box that means you are root successfully, so I guess you did not activate the Universal Init.d support app (Uni-init+v1.0.apk) properly. Open that app activate again and verify and make sure you see the Init.d supported message. than open up 3ctoolbox and try again.

Or you did not hit yes to the agreement when opening 3ctoolbox, uninstall 3ctoolbox and reinstall again, allow root, hit yes to all the agreements prompt and see whether you can adjust the frequency now.
[Device Reviews and Information] kiki_kris:
I tried it already a few times. It dont work. Can it be because of KitKat?
[Device Reviews and Information] Phonememe:
It works on kitkat also, i have tried it. hmm, than I have no idea why you can't do the settings.
[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
Hey dude,

Thats strange... Did you hit the √ mark in that page... Thats when it sets the cpu to max whatever you selected.

Try again m8, it workes for me

I figured out why you cannot set the frequency after re-read skemchris post, you must have ENABLED 3cToolbox module on xposed. DO NOT ENABLE it, go to xposed module, untick the 3cToolbox module and reboot, you should be able to set frequency now.

---------- Post added at 02:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 AM ----------

Yes, battery life is better :), i even try underclock it to 936MHz when not in heavy usage, last a bit longer and cooler too.

I dont tick it in xposed. Cant still change the frequency.

Has anyone tried the 18th June ROM (3GB) posted over at needrom yet? (http://www.needrom.com/download/ecoo-e04-3g-5-0/)

I honestly don't know where these ROMs appear from when the official Ecoo download page still has the 28th May version.

I have been running the 28th May ROM for quite some time now and the main 2 issues that I come up against are:

1) Still overheating - I have today used Kernel Auditor app to change to powersave cpu governor and set the max CPU freq to 1.17 (I dont know why you would want to mess around with init.d etc, KA does everything perfectly well)

2) I am getting a strange wakelock every now and again (about once every 1.5 days). When I check the battery stats it shows the phone as being awake for a long time despite the screen having been off, all apps closed, running Amplify and greenify etc. When I look at Amplify to see what the offending wakelock is there is no obvious culprit. Sometimes I can fix it by turning airplane mode on and off. Sometimes it requires a full reboot. If it wasn't for this the battery would be lasting quite a bit longer.

UPDATE:

Ok, I ave installed, rooted, TWRP'd etc the latest 18th June ROM and have run it for a few hours.

These are my observations:

- everything working ok, fingerprints, smart wake, xposed, OTA updates etc

The good news is that I haven't had a warning about battery temperatures being too high yet despite fairly intensive downloading and installing all of my apps yesterday evening. The phone did feel quite warm but I didn't get a warning message which I would have done previously.

However there are a couple of functionality changes as far as I can tell.

1) Mobile data connection - it used to be that we could just switch this on via the data connection button in the pulldown menu, now we also have to go into settings>>data usage>> and turn it on from there

2) If you use fingerprint to lock/unlock the phone you no longer need to swipe up first and then enter your fingerrint. Now as soon as the screen wakes up you get the fingerprint entry gui. However, this means that you can't see your lockscreen notifications - a feature I really like about lollipop.

For me there are not enough if any benefits that outweigh this issue so I am reverting back to the previous version
[Device Reviews and Information] TheSmokingAndroid:
Hey everyone!

Just a quick note to help anyone that might be having issues connecting to your carriers mobile network with the Ecoo E04 Plus (both the 2Gb and 3GB versions)

I know this is going to sound stupid, but SIM slot 2 seems to be dedicated specifically to data? Sim 2 uses a Micro Sim, however Sim 1 uses a R-SIM size sim card, when I inserted my Micro Sim into Sim 2, It would register that I have a Sim inserted, even show my phone number and network complete with auto APN setting update, however I could never get a signal.

I then took my micro Sim and inserted it into a R-SIM adapter I luckily had lying around, inserted it into Sim slot 1 and boom, within 20 seconds the network was discovered and I had 3G (I don't get LTE/4G in my area.

Just thought that might help some of you, since we're all so used to nano and micro Sim cards, it's extremely easy to overlook the fact that perhaps you need to do something as simple as that.

good luck!
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
I don't believe this is true. I have used sim cards in both slots, both individually and at the same time. I am able to get calls,sms and data on both slots. It is alos possible to have 4g on either slot.
[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
Same here

Dual standby all the time..

I did have the same issue that the sim didnt register, so i did the sim switch trick and that worked, but then i reverted back and it also works... So i dont know what is the correct way it should work, just that if it works for you, then problem solved right? :D

Does anyone know how to improve the poor camera quality? pictures are grainy, especially when zooming in. I have tried changing the settings of 4:3 pictures to 13MP but that doesn't really improve anything. Is there a good camera app perhaps that provides better quality photos? The 5 MP camera on my old Samsung S3 Mini was much better than this, this camera is unusable for me.

Hi guys !

I got problems to root my E04 3GB running official Lollipop. I used Kingo Root, it shows "root succeded" at the end but when I check with Root Validator or Root Checker it's finally not rooted ! I have tried several times but it doesn't work...

I have also tried with Framaroot and Towelroot but it dosen't worked too !

So what can I do know ? It comes from the phone or...me ?

how to root the phone?
[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
Rooting is Easy! but first when you ask a question, you have got to give some info:

For instance:

1)What version phone do you have: 2GB or 3GB

2)

What version of android do you have?

If you use the search in this threat and look for "root".. You will definately find ur answer.

I see that you are helping others out in this threat, so you have experience... So sorry for beeing rude, but you should understand that your quick question wont give you a good answer.

[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
But how to use it?
[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
This is the exact procedure that works:

First walk trough steps 5-8. Root is in step 9)

Its not hard to do, but it is nessasary to get root on lollipop

5) To install the recovery you will need to download the latest version of Spacerom from the original Italian forum. The link can be found on needrom. If you go into the comments for the Spacerom ROM you will find the link. You will then find the download link to the ROM on page 88 post #874 (sorry, I don't have enough posts to be able to post a direct link here)

6) Using SP Flashtool you will need to use the scatter file from the stock rom, select download only, uncheck everything other than boot, recovery and userdata. Replace these 3 files with the ones found in the Spacerom (you can do this by clicking on their paths in SP Flashtool, it will ask you to browse for the new file)

7) Once you have flashed the recovery, boot and userdata you can reboot and again check that the Fingerprints app is working

8.) You will now need to re-enter your IMEI information, – I use the MTK Engineer mode app found in the playstore.

9) To Root the phone I used the latest SuperSU flashable zip, this can be found at XDA amongst other places. You can flash this via recovery

[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
so if i flash the zip my phone will get rooted?
[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
Hey dude

It really isnt hard at all.. Look at 6)

You will see you have to use the rom, take the certain parts explained and flash those to your device.

Once you have the recovery from the spacerom, you are able to flash SuperUser what will give you root acces.

Please take a minute to read and follow these steps.

If you do not understand this procedure, i could help you out step by step, but in that case i will not be held responsible if anything happens to your device dude.

In my opinion, if you dont u derstand these steps, you might want to choose not to have root, but still be able to use ur phone.

6) Using SP Flashtool you will need to use the scatter file from the stock rom, select download only, uncheck everything other than boot, recovery and userdata. Replace these 3 files with the ones found in the Spacerom (you can do this by clicking on their paths in SP Flashtool, it will ask you to browse for the new file)

Hey there all, im about to buy this phone and i want to ask you 2 questions

there is a android 5 rom on ecoo hk website

"E04 (3GB) Android 5.0_20150528."

is this final release or still in beta ? are there any important errors or bugs?

my 2nd question is about battery&phone, my friend bought the phone and he got his 2 days ago, he says that phone is getting hot while playing good games, on 1st day he says he got error which says;

"phone is getting hot please close apps and let the phone calm" somethin like this, is it really a big issue?
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
The first question: I think it still is in the beta but i haven't run into any bugs at all. There is a kitkat version too also which is bug free (I hope as i didn't run into any bugs as well in that) and u can use that if u want.

The second question: Yes the battery does get quite hot after using under a little load for a while. But you can root the phone and limit the usage of the cpu which does improve the battery life as well as the temperature.

Overall this phone is good with the only flaw of it being a little overheated at times. Otherwise it is a great phone at the price point.

To flash the recovery, boot and userdata, which option do i use? Download only, Format All + Download or Firmware Upgrade?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Yes one is just for 3G/4G while the other SIM then will be only 2G. But you can switch around inside the phone settings. So both SIM cards support 3G/4G, but you just can't use both at the same time. I don't know any phones that have dual 4G, so both can be 4G at the same time.
