There's a lot of bloatware on this new piece that just came in 2 weeks ago I would like to do a clean install of a vanilla rom instead of using this which sucks away my battery

where do I find lollipop roms for this mobile thank you
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ProTechShark:
You can find the latest beta lollipop rom over here. It seems fairly bug free, but it is still a beta. http://www.needrom.com/download/s3-lollipop-v5-1/

You can just switch the root access and delete all that you wanted
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sieger007:
Thank you so much

Can you please point me to some links about how do I go about installing this. I can get the phone to an adb prompt , and that's just about it.

Also if someone has had lollipop already on his jiayu s3 , it would indeed be very helpful if they posted their experience n terms of what works perfectly and what needs help.

Yes I am rooted and there is something very interesting I found maybe you can check your phone to see the stuffson your discretion

There is a chinese bloatwares called data_ gospel . When I break down the kind of services that runs -see the attached screenshot . They are also suspect. I dont think any of the ought to run. Could you check your phone to see if you got the same thing.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
This has been mentioned a few times already. First time, perhaps, on:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61141568&postcount=2836.

It is safe to remove.

What it does, nobody knows. If it correlates to the 'easy' app that, some time later, suddenly appeared, nobody knows either.

I do know that, without 'data_ gospel', 'easy' did not come back (yet) on my phone.

Hey guys, what's up, ZI Jin Cheng here and this is the review of the Elephone P8000, Elephone's flagship device. I'm very impressed with this device and the only two reasons why I'm not using it as my daily driver is that it is too big and isn't supported by my carrier.

I am really looking forward to it. I am about to order a unit for myself, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvjmnWEIiHs
[Elephone P8000] DonaJuanita:
What would you say: P7000 or P8000?

This one seems to have a worse CPU but better battery life.

Another question: where the f*ck are the speakers of the phone? :S

P.S.: No 4G compatibility for the UK for this one, probably gonna stick to P7000.
[Elephone P8000] s7yler:
4G on the P8000 will work in the UK with Vodafone UK, EE UK
[Elephone P8000] DonaJuanita:
Well not for the O2 and giffgaff, which most people have. :/

I was really considering it but this is a turn-off.
[Elephone P8000] garbagerich:
Ive ordered one worth a shot after discount code.
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
looks like it does support the 800mhz o2 4g band in the specs.

Elephone P8000

Just bought one of these £110, and I have just read on here that is may not support 4G in the UK? I am on Tesco network, what are the chances?

---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 AM ----------

Just checked the specs and It supports 4G: FDD-LTE800/1800/2600MHz which includes 02 and Tesco, and according to Focalprice, it's released on July 2nd 2015
[Elephone P8000] mgolder:
No idea where you got al that completely wrong info from.

Also, EE is the most popular 4G network in the UK, not o2/giff gaff.

The phone supports all 3 different 4G bands used by UK networks.
[Elephone P8000] DonaJuanita:
http://www.willmyphonework.net

Check for yourself and see that it does not cover O2/giffgaff.

Secondly, I am confident enough to say that O2 and especially giffgaff is the most popular network (do not know whether 3G or 4G, but that is not the point). It has the lowest tarriff and the goodybags are a bargain, which in turn make it quite desirable. Coverage is also great.

P.S.: I am not advertising giffgaff in any case, I just answered to your queries. I was really considering getting this instead of the P7000 (I still haven't ordered), but I do need the 4G on giffgaff and on my Greek network.

Woaaah, BIG EDIT:

It suddenly registers that giffgaff is going to work on 4G with this phone. Did they just change it or what?
[Elephone P8000] steveluigi01:
The specs i took this from came from the Elephone site, it states the the phone works on the LTE networks I posted, Tesco 4G uses the 02 LTE 800MHz

Don't they use X-ray machines at your customs? It's kind of strange that they believe the value sticker on a Chinese packet which, I believe, none in history was labeled as more than 20$ worth :)
[Elephone P8000] jokespot:
I think I got lucky. According to DHL it passed through in Helsinki customs at 3.08am. Perhaps they were tired :)

Update about the slow charging battery that gets stuck. I now had it connected over night so apparently it's faster than 7.5 hours at least.
[Elephone P8000] MUG3NHC:
Yeah, you got lucky. They wont open every single parcel and charge you extra for customs.

They open some, but single small parcels usualy go through.

Value on the parcel helps a little maybe.

And for the battery, maybe try this:

[Elephone P8000] steveluigi01:
Got mine a few day ago, IT'S EXCELLENT!!! Forget all of the 'Cheap Chinese rubbish' malarky, this does everything it says on the box and more besides. Works well on 4G in the UK, picks up GPS like a dream, open to all networks, strong and sturdy. Mine has dropped off my car cradle 3 times, and I have dropped it on a concrete floor once, and no scratches and screen is in tact. Great phone for such a small outlay (£110 in my case), don't know how they do it for the money. My verdict up to now is I'm very pleased with the phone and I can recommend it to anyone.
[Elephone P8000] garbagerich:
I'm pleased too the above comment sums it all up definitely worth taking a chance
[Elephone P8000] s7yler:
I don't understand all this talk about the aperture. If it said 1.8 would that change anything? Or would it just make people feel better? In the end it depends on how good or bad the camera is to take pictures IRL. If you are satisfied with the pictures, forget about how big or small the aperture is.

The aperture CAN be changed/faked in the software/ROM I have seen that before on other phones that got an update and suddenly the aperture was changed also, so it can't really be used to prove anything. The aperture doesn't really say anything real or give any facts about the camera on these Chinese phones, for me it is just a number and I have seen a china smartphones with aperture 2.0 make worse pictures as others with 2.8.
[Elephone P8000] s7yler:
I am pretty sure they do - and especially if the sender is from China. And sometimes the reciever will get a letter 2 weeks later with custom tax to pay. Not always you have to pay immediately, if they are too busy.

At customs, they are not stupid, and they can easily see what's inside the package (or they just open it) and search for the product on the internet/google, and they will very fast know the real value.
[Elephone P8000] frulex:
Unfortunately, I know all of this very well - they never skip my packet :) But, anyways, I think we're getting now a bit in the OT area...
[Elephone P8000] -Tiz-:
A fast aperture has advantages and potential disadvantages. A fast aperture results in better low-light photos. On the other hand, a fast aperture and a cheap lens design will result in corner softness.

The problem is: Elephone has advertised a fast lens and excellent low-light photos. Now we got a relatively slow lens. I do not care whether a manufacturer comes from China or another country. Even Chinese manufacturers should stick to the truth...
[Elephone P8000] skiigor:
Hello, s7yler! Thanks you for review!

One of the russian reviewers said that on standard cable from the P8000 box it charging only with 0.43A of current and on more quality cable it charging with 0.73A.

So, the charger is may be 2A capable but phone is could recive now only 0.73A of current and electric current does not change with time on charging...

How long does it take to fully charge the battery from zero?

Can you retest quick charge function? Is this information correct?
[Elephone P8000] s7yler:
I agree on that but the problem is we can't trust the camera info on any of the Chinese manufacturers, not only Elephone. And the aperture can be faked. If it was 2.0 people would not comment on it and just trust it, even if it still was faked. So I go more towards if the camera is good or not in real use.
[Elephone P8000] s7yler:
For me about 3,3 hours totally. Which I still find okay for a big 4165mah battery. I have the Bluboo X550 with 5000mah also and that one charges way slower than the P8000.
[Elephone P8000] skiigor:
Thih is from Elephone P8000 page

It is interesting to test is it true or not. What they mean about quick charge. 10% in 10 mins from zero to 10% for discharged phone could be on, or for example from 80% to 90% ? :confused:
[Elephone P8000] s7yler:
In my case that is not true, I can't charge the phone 10% in 10 minutes at least not from 0. If it is from 90-100, I am not really sure. I will try to do some more testing of this....
[Elephone P8000] -Tiz-:
Basically, it seems that Elephone lies (like almost any other Chinese manufacturer does). Maybe Elephone is not as dishonest as Ulefone ... but still. Fast charge = lie. Fast aperture = lie. Notification light = lie. Camera module ... unclear. I conclude that Chinese phone manufacturers simply cannot be trusted. Even nowadays.

Consequently, I will only buy a China phone from a trustworthy reseller (with a good return policy and guarantee) located in my jurisdiction. Moreover, I will pay (almost) no money for a China phone. It needs to be dirt cheap.

In case of Elephone, this means that I am fine with paying 129 EUROS for the P8000. But I will not consider buying the Vowney or the P9000. These phones will not be dirt cheap and it is far too risky buying a medium priced phone from an non-trustworthy manufacturer.
[Elephone P8000] s7yler:
I am getting 5% charge in 10 minutes. That means 200 minutes for 100%, and that is 3,33 hours for the 4165mAh battery. Far from what advertised, but still faster than what I have experienced on other china phones with a huge battery that are in the same class.

But yeah it is no excuse, basically the specs on china phones can't be trusted. It's sad but that how it currently is.
[Elephone P8000] DwHernan:
Hi!

i've read everywhere without any results: ¿This elephone p8000 has gorilla glass?
[Elephone P8000] binser:
Has anybody seen the P8000 with working OTG - i.e. if you plug a USB stick into the phone, will it be recognized???
[Elephone P8000] calik:
I know that the aperture can be changed in the fake info... But my question is different, the sensor is a samsung 3L2 or not...? Because in low light the quality drop down...
[Elephone P8000] s7yler:
[MENTION=6875576]DwHernan[/MENTION] Elephone doesn't write what type of glass it has. I don't think it is Gorilla Glass, more likely Dragontrail glass if something. But several users have reported that they dropped the phone without the glass damaged so it seems to be in a ok quality.

[MENTION=4291790]binser[/MENTION] The official page http://www.elephone.hk/P8000.html for the P8000 doesn't say anything about support for OTG, so I am pretty sure it doesn't support OTG. Mine also doesn't find anything when I try USB OTG.

[MENTION=813501]calik[/MENTION] yeah but I don't know how we can check this. As we all know, ITXTutor made a teardown and the camera module didn't say anything. Only the flexcables said a name, but that's not the camera. Only Elephone can tell us, or they need to give us proof for it.

Root Elephone P8000

Has anyone been able to root their Elephone P8000? I thought they came pre-rooted but I was wrong
[Elephone P8000] Stevethegreat:
About Fast Charge: Fast Charge is known to trash batteries, it's probably for the best if fast charge is not implemented. At least as long as it does not take forever to charge. If it takes less than 3 hours to charge (it) is a great result in my mind as it also lasts twice the amount of time as compared to most phones.

Camera: s7yler says that it's one of the best cameras he used in cheap phones. Of course it remains to be seen, but I don't think he has any reason to lie. Obviously it's not Galaxy S6's grade of quality, but it's probably as good as the best of mid-rangers out there, which (in my book) is more than enough for this price range.

Notification light: Ok, that may be a problem to many, but I don't think it's a turn off, it's one of the minor features of any phone. Still it would be best if they were to say it from the beginning "there is no notification light". I don't mind it, but I can see why others may mind.

Elephone lies a lot, but with this phone -I think- they lied less than ever. I mean if they were to come out with any of the above it would still be a very attractive offering...

Let me make it 100% working first, I need to check the log why the hell its crashing in front camera.. Once I fix the issue will post it..

Thanks for the advice, please test and let me know how its working.
[Elephone P8000] Perseus:
The way I implement Fast Charge in my Kernels, its only coming into picture when you connect to specially designed USB Ports on Laptops or Cigarette Lighters. That way you get regular wall mA amount from USB. So destroying battery life is not an issue. However, you can possibly damage USB ports that are not specially designed. Its quiet possible stock kernel has something similar or not. Its easy to check though. Plug your phone to specially marked usb ports on laptop. Go to battery screen on the phone. See if says AC or usb there.If it said AC then the kernel has the feature. But your point's correct. I wouldn't fret over 3&1/2 hours of charge time.

About the Camera. Well Hardware Info did indicate Camera was Samsung. It can be fooled too. This is why I posted a few pictures I took with the camera. I don't consider myself to be a expert in photography. Others can decide for themselves.

I do think Notification Led is a bummer. Especially those who got from that initial batch. However, the worse factor is that, you can't customize it out of box for different colors or bursts of intermittent light.
[Elephone P8000] Stevethegreat:
A couple of points: Yeah, I agree that Notification LED can be a bummer. As for the photos, to my untrained eye they seem more than OK, certainly much better than many low end China phones I have used in the past.

But indeed since I'm not expert either, I would await for the ... experts' findings.

As I initially said -though- this phone seems more than OK to me, at least given the long history of omissions, quality control and bad support that many Elephones have, this one seems to be exempt from many of those pitfalls (metal chasis, big battery with true capacity but above all released sources).
[Elephone P8000] jacksparao:
The phone

I personally believe the phone is worth for the money, they got a good camera but there app is very bad, please try the app which I ported.

Battery they said its fast charging but we know what is truth.

I like the finger print sensor which I can able to unlock phone very quick, the phone is lusting more then a day, screen is very good, many more to say..
[Elephone P8000] -Tiz-:
I also believe that the phone is worth the money (b/c I ordered it for only 129 Euros). It is unfortunate, however, that you cannot trust Elephone. This will make it much harder for them to sell mid-end or high-end phones.

Thanks for porting the camera! I will try it as soon as I get the phone.

As regards the finger print sensor, do we know whether the data is encrypted before it is stored on the phone? At Black Hat, it was recently discovered that a HTC phone stores the data unencrypted ...
[Elephone P8000] DwHernan:
yeah, i've read that too. Thank you

If someone knows more ifon about this i will appreciate a lot!

PS: Maybe the gray version always comes with notification light ¿?

PS2: I'm stil think this is an awesome phone for the money

PS3: ¿Can whe write to elephone and ask for all of our doubts?
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
No Gorilla Glass, but ”tempered glass” (whatever that is). Out of the box it comes with a protective plastic film on it (and another spare one in the box). One can always order another tempered glass protection such as this.

As for your PSs:

1. The color is unimportant, only the batch matters. If it's not from the first batch, it will have the LED under the home button.

2. I wouldn't say ”awesome”, but yeah., it seems to be well worthed (I ordered it on Saturday).

3. Sure you/we can. But their English proficiency is very, very poor and the answers may seem totally off. Check their official forum.
[Elephone P8000] jacksparao:
encrypted

I sent a mail to Elephone team they confirm its encrypted, again I asked them what type of encryption they are using, let me wait for the promoted response.
[Elephone P8000] Andy4Shurr:
I could be wrong but I don't think they made any grey ones in the first batch... that's why people had to wait for grey and the white/gold ones were being shipped first. So he could be right in that grey ones all have the LED.

I have been trying to keep track of which ones are missing LED and NOBODY, that I can see, has said they have a grey unit without the LED in the unit.
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
You may be onto something with this. Come to think of it, I don't recall seeing a grey one without that LED either.

And I browsed extensively for info before I ordered this device. No LED would've been a deal breaker. :)
[Elephone P8000] jokespot:
After a week of use I must say that I am impressed with the device. Even if some features aren't as the promised it's still a great value for money. Especially if you order after they've sent out the first batch.

Pros:

- Build quality. It feels and looks like a high end device as long as the screen is off so you don't see the bezels.

- During the last cycle I got close to 4,5h of SOT. This also included a lot of listening to downloaded podcasts and a bit of music streaming over 3G. The device was connected to 3G/WiFi during the entire time with automatic brightness and it lasted me 2,5 days. I also drove hundreds of kilometers and I noticed on my old device that the battery went down quicker when it had to seek for service often. I don't mind it being a bit thicker and heavier if this is the pay off.

- Good screen. Bright enough and impressive colors.

Cons:

- I hope that they will fix the camera one day. I don't like the stock app and all third party apps keep crashing on me constantly. Also the stock app crashes every time you try to use it in an application like WhatsApp.

- Sometimes, or often the phone has an issue with re-connecting automatically to the WiFi after being away too.

- The volume in headphone mode should be higher. It's not even that noisy in my working environment and it's still difficult to hear for instance talk radio well even with it being on the highest setting. It's very low even if you have the headphone booster activated from the settings. I really hope they could do something about this. Either that or I have to get noise cancelling earbuds that cost more than the phone.

- How the heck can one change the lock screen background image? I'm yet to find a way to get that LP or EP removed.

[MENTION=6866470]jokespot[/MENTION]

Your thoughts about Open Camera App on this phone ?
[Elephone P8000] jokespot:
It keeps freezing for me the same way as other third party apps I've tried.

The app itself is great and I have used it on other devices but It doesn't want to compute with the P8000 for me.

Perhaps we have to wait for a custom ROM for this to work if Elephone won't put out a fix. I've too sent them an email about the flaws I've found, but they aren't really easy to reach for us who don't know the language.
[Elephone P8000] nmm81:
I'm considering moving on from my thl. I'm considering p7000 or p8000. From what i read, the p8000 only has a bigger batter (but non-removable), a newer processor (MTK6753) but lower (1.3Ghz Vs 1.7Ghz from p7000) and p7000 is better looking...

What would you recommend?
[Elephone P8000] jokespot:
P8000 has superb build quality over the P7000. There should be a comparison video on YouTube.
