This is for the kitkat 3gb version. It includes gallery and camera:

http://dl.zuim.de/h/Gallery2.zip

I have a problem with the phone, too:

The playstore, google news and weather and play games apps don't have an internet connection.

I already tried clearing the data of these apps and the google services, rebooting and removing the google account!

Do you have any other ideas?
[Device Reviews and Information] galaxyms:
I've been researching these chinese phones for 3 weeks now. I can't see any other phone other than the E04 that has its specs with a finger print reader for under $200.

Other phones that come close are: Lenovo K3 Note (but no finger print reader) and only 2GB RAM.

JIAYU S3 (no finger print reader) and question marks over the future of the company.

Can anybody here see any problem with buying an ECOO E04 or can suggest a better alternative for less than $200?
[Device Reviews and Information] patientx:
I don't know about other phones but know one thing : This thing gets real hot. Even after underclocking, after a few minutes of gaming or even some web browsing cpu and so upper part of the phone gets hot. I an using lollipop, I don't know about kitkat's situation about this.
[Device Reviews and Information] craftandbuild:
The KitKat rom seems to run much better than the Lollipop rom. I underclocked it to 1.17ghz and I get 6h of screen on time with surfing and videos over wlan (brightness low - mid). It still gets warm while gaming, but not dangerously hot.
[Device Reviews and Information] galaxyms:
Forgive me but it seems rather silly to make a phone with a 1.7 GHz CPU then users have to underclock it to 1.17 GHz for it to work without overheating! Even KitKat?
[Device Reviews and Information] patientx:
My friend bought Lenovo k3 Note and he too complains about high temprature even with smallest tasks... So ...

Either this cpu is always designed to be running hot (which is curious because with my previous mtk phones heat was never this much of an issue)

..or, these guys didn't really try to cool it down effectively....

I saw a guy on youtube smearing the innards of a different model of a phone with thermal paste and the result was very good and I can't see how it will help here...

EDIT : I used 468 mhz (lowest available) + disabled 4 cores for gaming , after one hour the temprature was the same... Meanwhile with my old zte v987 (mtk 6589) I am playing the same games with full cpu speed and NEVER getting this kind of heat ...
[Device Reviews and Information] bigpeninass:
Hi, can anybody help me root my phone? I found this , but it doesn't work for me. I don't know am i do it right but i have updated my rom to 16/07. Maybe taht is my problem...
[Device Reviews and Information] galaxyms:
Excess heat means high power waste and shorter battery life, wouldn't you say. Interesting because does this mean that all phones using this CPU suffer from heating issues?
[Device Reviews and Information] ProTechShark:
I'd like to point out that Jiayu aren't bankrupt, they were bought by a larger company. The letter was publicised on the Jiayu S3 thread a while back by Levered. Also, reading through this thread the ecoo has overheating issues, I have the Jiayu S3, and there is no overheating on lollipop or kitkat. The camera on the Ecoo and the K3 is much better than on the S3, there are some serious problems with camera software, as far as I know it has no fault in the hardware.
[Device Reviews and Information] southsider2009:
Jiayu S3 Firmware is well optimised that Ecoo. Even got lots of support from developers. Overheating is not common in Jiayu S3. The fingerprint scanner sensor is trash. Don't buy it because it has fingerprint.
[Device Reviews and Information] kiki_kris:
The fingerprint scanner on the ecoo is really good. You have to set your fingerprint right and look that you have no wet fingers...only the cpu is not optimized :/
[Device Reviews and Information] kiki11:

[Device Reviews and Information] Danacy:
Hi,

Can you check what firmware version you have?

I have the 2GB version as well and never experienced any problems at all.

No matter what version you have, try to download and re-install the latest: http://www.ecoo.hk/download.html
[Device Reviews and Information] svdhorst:
I have the 3GB model with android 4.4. I tried to flash the android 5.0 rom posted on the website of ECOO with the latest SP Flash Tool, but

I keep getting error 4001 after about a minute.

I tried downloading with battery in and out of the phone, but no luck. Also tried a different computer, but still no luck.. Any suggestion as to

what I can do?
[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
Hey dude

Did you select "Download" or "Flash"?

You should check flash, but do not! I repeat...do NOT format your system...just flash... No download.

check if usb debugging is on.

First... Select the scatter file... Then select flash and then insert the cable into the phone with battery included.

Hope this helps... Worked for me on W7 64 bit

[Device Reviews and Information] pelle68:
Whats wrong?

When i try to start the flash tool, and select the scatter file, it says, " Error: Initializing scatter file failed. Please check the name of scatter file wich you load is legal."

What the heck does that mean??
[Device Reviews and Information] Axelman8:
Hey dude

This is with the 5.0 rom right?

There are two folders... In one folder there is the scatter files. Just select this file from this folder and choose the option flash instead of download... This reformats the partitions on your device, because the scatter file is diffrent for 5.0

Tip: leave the battery in the device

1. Select scatter file

2. Select the flash only option.

3. Connect the phone

Hope this works dude.. It did for me

Hi

In this thread you will find your answer what to do

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60090089

it's special in India, you need to flash the IMEI code, use the IMEI code they offer, but it's 14-bit, you need to add any number in the end of the IMEI to change it into 15-bit.

Good luck

The phone should be off/shut down/power off.

After selecting scatter file, start the flash by hitting the button. Then connect the phone to the computer and it will work for you.

[Device Reviews and Information] galaxyms:
Would it be fair to say that the overheating and other issues with GPS etc are only a problem in the lollipop ROMs? I'm not bothered about Lollipop or having the latest android version. In my experience the later Androids all run slower and consume more memory/cpu. ICS was probably the best Android version.

Anyhow if you buy this phone and keep KitKat on it does it run well?

Try firmware upgrade and the correct scatterfile for this rom. Open the scatter file and look if the top line starts with ######## General setting #.. Maby your scatterfile is corrupt.

sorry, no need to answer my post. I send my phone back to the shop for repair.
[Device Reviews and Information] koepi:
Do you think we're gonna see some updates fixing the stagefright, certifi-gate and the newly published "class openssl"-privilege-escalation security holes? For four months Kitkat lacks updates, and the Lollipop versions stalls as well...
[Device Reviews and Information] lildwell:
Certifigate was fixed by google in 5.1 so unless they are working on 5.1 or the Cyanogen mod I doubt it.

Hello

I bought my phone 5 days ago and it was updated to lollipop , but i found issue in screen .

Sometimes it become flickering and flashing but it disappear after I close the screen and reopen it . I reed that could be a software issue so i did rest factory , but the issue still the same .

Do you think it is a hardware issue or software issue ? Can fix it ?

It is approximately happen two times a day so it doesn't bother me a lot .
[Device Reviews and Information] koepi:
That flickering is a software issue in the Lollipop ROM. It doesn't happen with the Kitkat firmware.
[Device Reviews and Information] ahmad22bb:
thank you for reply that relief me , I thought it will be a hardware issue and I should send it to repair .

now I will flash the Kitkat firmware .

Many dead camera pixels

I just noticed, that my cam has lots of dead pixels. Does only my camera have so many or do your cams have similar amounts of always white pixels.

Photo with covered camera and full res:

Open image in new tab (zoom in to see them everywhere)

Ps: the front cam does not seem to have these
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
Woah that's a lot of dead pixels. No I don't have any problems like this. Maybe your phone has a problem. Give it for repair and see if they will fix it or give you another handset.

EDIT: Ignore what I just said, I think I have that problem too.

---------- Post added at 06:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 AM ----------

Sorry for the late reply, see post #814 on how to do. It does not matter on which version of ROM you are doing, It only matters if you don't follow the steps right. Then it will be a problem.
[Device Reviews and Information] craftandbuild:
Okay maybe it is a general problem of this sensor, but I looked at the positions of them in normal images and most of them get lost within the jpeg compression.

One was noticeable. But I do not plan, to send it for repair, as I just had to do this for the buggy screen and it took nearly 2 Months :p

Hmmm OK, the one time I gave mine for repair was like the fifth day I had the phone when I found out that my camera was blurry, I couldn't read anything on it. After like a month they just gave me another piece.

USB service on android

Hi All,

I have a problem with my E04 3GB and was advised to send it for repair by the reseller, but I try first to get solution here :).

I have then an E04 3GB, with Lolipop version of May 28th which is the one overheating, flickering... I'm not happy with this firmware and would like to go with another one, whatever it is.

My problem is that all USB related stuff on my phone are deactivated and I suspect a problem with an USB service crashing or so.

I tried changing firmware via SD card but I failed, the same firmware always comes back after the system update...

Can one of you help?

Thanks,

JeromeTls
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
I don't think u need to give the phone back to the reseller. And it does not update if u put anything in the SD card and do anything. If u want, the better version is to go back to the lollipop version. For that see post #814 on this thread on how to do and you can download the ROM from here : ecoo.HK/download.

The overheating is a problem from everyone its not just for your fault. What did you mean when you said that USB related stuff is deactivated? I didn't quite understand that.
[Device Reviews and Information] JeromeTls:
[MENTION=6606271]rockstm[/MENTION] Thanks for your response.

screen errors

Hello all!

I have an aurora plus since may, not rooted and running stock Kk 4.4.4. I'm very happy with the phone, except for this minor problem that happens every single day a few moments after I unplug the phone from the charger and start to use it: the phone just blocks, the screen gets full of digital error green lines, and that's it. The only way is to take the battery out. After that the phone starts normally, and usually there's no more problems (sometimes it happens again during the day, but it less frequent). It just comes out of nothing, while normal usage of the phone...

Is this a known problem? I've reading through this tread and found nothing on this...

Thanks in advance for all your help.
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
umm no, i have never had this issue. maybe it might be a bug error of the rom installed on your phone. try reinstalling kitkalt or installing lollipop. guide on post #814.
[Device Reviews and Information] JeromeTls:
I used another computer and the same cable and it worked, I was able to connect and load ROM (July one), I have followed post #814 and that worked perfectly.

Only issue comes when want to root it, I follow instructions and I don't have "Reboot options" at the bottom part of the recovery menu, what could be the problem?

Thanks,

Jérôme
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
Great to hear that I helped you. Are you using the twrp recovery from the spacerom, or the stock ROM's recovery from the stock lollipop ROM?
[Device Reviews and Information] Fajoao:
I think this user was experiencing something similar to my issue. My problem is that I'm just an average user, I just want the damn phone to do its job properly. I did read the post on how to upgrade it to lollipop, but still I don't have a clue of what is a scatter file, or how to flash whatever ROM I should flash to fix the problem. To sum it up, I'm a bit affraid of f***ing up and brick the device...
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
Um... I'm pretty sure I wrote the name of the scatter file. Just download the ROM on your PC, open it up and see the file name I have written there. It is really noon friendly, so I don't think u need to do much anything. If u want I can post a video on how to do it.
[Device Reviews and Information] JeromeTls:
Hi, I used the stock ROM recovery (July 17th one).
[Device Reviews and Information] rockstm:
Exactly that's the problem. You must flash the spacerom recovery. I clearly stated in that guide that to root you need to flash the spacerom recovery which is the twrp recovery. So please flash it and then try.
[Device Reviews and Information] JeromeTls:
Ok, now I understand what you meant in the post #814... I'll try it.
