OK, phone arrived. Used iRoot to root and install custom recovery. Then installed BB72 008s ROM. Despite others comments this seems fine. Camera is just the same as stock without any change in quality. So far I'm happy.

BTW, noted comments on screen breakages. Its obvious that the screen glass runs right to the edge of the phone and sits on the surface. This is very vulnerable. I see on Ebay some frames that can be bought and installed around it. Perhaps they would make it stronger...

Frame and back

Frame only

The problem with the camera app, is that it records with low audio quality, horrible i even say. Not BB72 fault tough.

Hello popo72;

Thank you for your reply and assistance.

Regarding the wakelock issue; I have installed (wakelock detector) + (CPUspy) and followed your instruction; the result was 91% - 90% deep sleep after I run two test for about 20 minutes each. after installing Greenify and running some basic tweaks, I am able to get approx. two days of battery per charge.

Nova Launcher Prime is working flawlessly on BB72 07s ROM; I had to install TeslaUnread to be able to be get the unread count of message of the apps, because I couldn't figure out how to do it on the BB72 ROM.

Also I am facing a new problem; maybe you have the solution for it.

I installed ZUI locker, because I wasn't able to place a custom image on the stock BB72 ROM lock screen through the: Settings ---> System Wallpapers ---> Others ---> Gallery (I get a message (application is not installed); and if I use Settings ---> System Wallpapers ---> Others ---> Other wallpaper application (the result will be changing the wallpaper on the home screen only.

I gave ZUI all the permissions needed and auto-launch as well; and several times a day I get the stock lock screen on the phone again when I turn on the screen; then I have to activate ZUI all over again to make it work. Do you know how to permanently disable the stock locker?

Thank you in advance and God bless.
[Device Reviews and Information] Gary.M:
Oh, OK, I haven't tried that. I don't usually record much video with my phones, just still photos.

9s update will release today :)
[Device Reviews and Information] andrew.warneke:
Hi guys

Is there a way to preserve all of my apps when updating via TWRP? I want to get 9s today or go onto BB72 but I have some big apps like deezer which take forever to back up on titanium.
[Device Reviews and Information] Krystyna:
LeTV One and LeTV 1S Which one is better?
[Device Reviews and Information] andrew.warneke:
If you care about your camera, then the LeTV One is WAY better
[Device Reviews and Information] wasi006:
okay. read almost the full thread, still I did not get my solution.

1. tried to install twrp with recovery.bat file. failed. the phone boots into stock recovery.

2. tried to flash via sp-flashtool. Failed. stuck into bootloop, got back by copying boot.img file flashing again.

3. Now, can't update using update.zip file, says signature error. downloaded rom from letv official website.

4. Now can't even go to stock recovery.

Now the phone doesn't seem to charge, and the battery level is stuck on 50%.

Question: How do I install twrp via adb? also, how can I clean flash the stock rom with stock recovery?

thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] thrashbat:
In what way is the camera better?
[Device Reviews and Information] popo72:
Well...strange you get that error message since it is possible to set a wallpaper for both lockscreen and Home or just Home or just lock screen....did you maybe removed the Gallery app? There are actually 2 galleries app and maybe you removed the stock one...

Anyway to correctly setup apps so that they do not get killed and also notifications work:

1. Open the app, then go to rask manager (menu button) and down swipe the app so that you get lock

2. Allow auto boot from supermanager permission

3. From super manager someware under advanced power management you have to select the app you do not want to be killed in background when not used for a period
[Device Reviews and Information] empiref:
Thank you again popo72 for you assistance.

Do you know how I can disable the stock lock screen? It always activates itself even after installing other lock screen apps.

Much appreciated for your generous help.
[Device Reviews and Information] popo72:
I'm afraid it is not possible since it is integrated into systemUI
[Device Reviews and Information] empiref:
Thank you, and Merry Christmas everyone!

Guys please help! Now my letv isn't responding at all.sp flashtool isn't helping too. only a black screen, and the sp recognizes the phone, get stuck at download da 100%. what do I do??

Only the notification light is red. otherwise, nothing

ALSO WHILE CONNECTED, my laptop makes sounds like the phone is getting connected and disconnected again.
[Device Reviews and Information] Gary.M:
Set screen lock method to no password and the built in lock screen will not bother you. Install any alternative you want. I use Hi Locker.

[Device Reviews and Information] wasi006:
Alright got my phone back. But it is buggy 02s. Is there ANY WAY to flash a custom rom without twrp?

I tried the fastboot mode and sp flashtool mode to install twrp. Failed
[Device Reviews and Information] wasi006:
tried with iroot, and root failed.
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
If i'm not mistaken, the reason the .bat script doesn't work, it's because the phone hasn't authorized your computer. You need to download the ADB command line tools and check if the phone appear on the device list or the command line tool included in the .zip file already does that, so you may want to check that, if not, then you'll have to search this thread for a post that says how to authorize your computer, without having access to the phone's system, so it shows on the device list and it install TWRP on the phone.

I never installed TWRP with flash tools, but there must be a way. A way to install a ROM without TWRP, is to have an original LeTV ROM and update from the Systema Update app. I think you can install a ROM from flash tools, but i don't know how.
[Device Reviews and Information] wasi006:
My computer recognizes my device alright. Computer says the mobile has entered into fastboot mode and brushing recovery and all that, but the mobile just vibrates 2-3 times and boots normally or into stock recovery

Is this phone better than LG G2?
[Device Reviews and Information] cruizgaray:
I don't know, but I have a Nexus 4 and I think this phone is better...
[Device Reviews and Information] shoelace1999:
Performance wise it should be but the rom that ships with it is really not good. the lg on the other hand will have more support from rom and kernel developers
[Device Reviews and Information] Gary.M:
I can't fault it with the BB72 ROM
[Device Reviews and Information] jonuz:
I actually have a x600 and I'm thinking of trading it with a G2 , any thoughts?
[Device Reviews and Information] f14m3:
Has anyone stumble this problem:

On LeTV device x600 with the latest official Chinese ROM (last weeks) any google play app with the option of paying with credit card as AliExpress, Amazon, can't be installed with message "Your device isn't compatible with this version".

I have read that this error usually comes with country and device name orientated problems, so i used apps to change my device name to some popular phones like Samsung S4, changed my country, used VPN to mask my self as being in couple of contries (China, USA), but with no luck.

It seems the problem lies with the security risk of paying with apps.

I actually instlled Aliexpress using a downloaded apk from evozi website, but i don't trust their site enough, to install apps in which i put so sensitive data.

I also have tried to use other google services zip when pre-installing a new rom, without luck.

If anyone have any ideas, it will be greatly appreciated.

My previous phone was LG G2, (selling it now :D) , have to say i am pretty happy with the Letv except for the software most of the things are better. Camera is better, more ram, bigger display, better build, better sound. Cpu is a little better too, battery maybe is the same, except for the smaller phone the LG doesn't have anything more to offer.
[Device Reviews and Information] jonuz:
Okay , i guess i won't trade, gonna stick to my x600
[Device Reviews and Information] LightingZ:
The Redmi Note 2 has CM12.1 now.

I'll try port it to the X600 as they have same processor and screen resolution.

gonna be hard though, as letv haven't upgraded their base Android version to 5.1.1

(http://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-2/orig-development/rom-redmi-note-2-t3272872)
[Device Reviews and Information] cruizgaray:
You are right. I restored Aliexpress app from a Tibu backup and now I can't update it.
[Device Reviews and Information] slimm2:
You could team up with Maple from LeTV spanish forums as he is trying to do the same. Hope we get CM12.1 even if it's a port!
[Device Reviews and Information] jonuz:
Another question.

How much it takes to fully charge your x600? Mine takes about 1h to fully charge.
[Device Reviews and Information] f14m3:
Well x600 doesn't have quick charge so 60 min is kinda impossible even for the x800( with quick charge and same battery), my x600 charges for something like 90-100min, never the less i am impressed how fast this is actually, my old lg g2 was way slower.

ps. Samsung s6 is the fastest charging phone right now for 0->100% with time of 82 min.
[Device Reviews and Information] jonuz:
Idk man, mine charges quite fast, 70-80 min max.
[Device Reviews and Information] rista1:
2%-100% 100min

x600
[Device Reviews and Information] 0on:
Full charge from 0% (phone off) to 100% was around 90 mins for me (which is ±1950 mAh, fastest that you can get with this phone).
[Device Reviews and Information] f14m3:
I think this is important matter, does anyone have any clue what can be done ?
[Device Reviews and Information] 0on:

Let's hope the guy who did the BB72 Rom will import 009s soon enough.
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
I just tracked the screen, it shipped from china on 25 december, i ordered it on 25 november! Yep, you read that right. 1 month to ship (from the courier). When i ordered it, the seller told me they had it on stock, thing is, they shipped to the courier after 6 days. Too much time wasted if they actually had it on stock. I'm going to give them a bad feedback.

Not sure what you mean, the seller told you to cancel the order?! Anyway, Pablo says the screen is great, so... even if it's a copy, must be a good copy.

About the vifocal, thing is, if something goes wrong you don't have Aliexpress's protection. And you can't know for sure, if the screen is great too.

This screen is very fragile, lots of people must have bought a replacement, i'm a bit surprised there isn't more information about it. The best shops to by from, etc.

Let's hope LeTV fixed the crap audio quality in recorded videos.
[Device Reviews and Information] TheRaveQ:
Is it worth?

Is it worth to buy LeTV x600 now? How about problems with soft? Are there any works on custom roms (like a Cyanogenmod or MIUI)? I heard, there are problems with digitizer (when you're using more than 4 fingers, the digitizer does not work properly)
[Device Reviews and Information] fishku:
I have tried the new "super night mode". It is surprisingly good! Still, I wish for a complete manual mode (or things like shutter priority mode with the rest auto). If someone knows an app that can do complete manual controls on the x600, let me know!

You might not believe it, but the guy who did the BB72 rom is called BB72 :p (popo72 on this forum)

But yeah, I hope so too!

Nope, I just tested with 9s, audio quality in recorded videos is still crap. :( So we have to rely on 3rd party apps still!

The price for the x600 has dropped below 200 Euros / 200 USD (for 16GB even <150 EUR). For this price, it's a great device IMHO.

Problems with software are minor, there are good modified stock roms (BB72's rom for example). There's also a few AOSP roms. You can also get a current version of MIUI, if you prefer.

The digitizer works just fine, in fact the touch screen testing apps can correctly track all of my 10 fingers, which is enough contact points for me :D

I switched around with USB ports a couple of times, had the same problem. Make sure you have installed ADB Drivers and you might need to remove USB drivers from other phones (had to remove my old Samsung Galaxy S4's drivers since they were interfering). Will add to how-to.

Cinema FV-5!

The important part is to change audio settings: Disable AGC (automatic gain control)! This is what f***s up the sound quality in regular recordings!!

You can get the lite app for free which also has the disable AGC option. But, for 4k resolution recording, you will need the pro paid app!

Camera Problem

Hello,

I am wondering if someone can help me, I received my LETV 1s x500 today which come installed with the international rom 5.5.007s(Stable). The phone works great apart from the camera quality both front and back which is driving me crazy. I know that the 9s version is now out, but does that really make a difference to the quality. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Thanks

Hello Guys!

Unfortunately looks like my x600 has hard bricked. I've been trying to fix it using SP Flash Tool, unluckily an error occurred and device doesn't respond at all.

I was using 002s version and attempted to update it to 009s using normal update. Since it wasn't possible fundamentally due to "signature error", I've tried to update it via TWRP. I installed 2.8.7 TWRP version, unluckily during ROM installation similar error occurred. I failed with the older versions as well, besides after a few more attempts phone has stuck in TWRP. It didn't respond at all and I wasn't able to turn it off by pressing the power button, so i waited until the battery was completely drained. When I launched phone again, it went into bootloop. I've downloaded the SP Flash Tool and proceeded according to @ sirdickens tutorial, but after connecting the phone an error occurred and it seems to be dead.

Essentially when device is connected to pc, red indicator light shrines. It isn't recognized anymore as "MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port". I have been trying couple more times to fix it, I've reinstalled drivers etc. Unluckily except red light it hasn't shown any other sights of life. Is there any chance to rescue it?

Hi guys!

I'm having some problems with my Letv Le1. I've had a problem with the speaker and so i've installed one rom from Letv site but it got full of chinese apps, without android either. I've managed to installed android and some apps but i can't get rid of those chinese apps. I've tried to root it using different methods but none have worked.

Do you guys have any idea of how can i get rid of those chinese things?

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] 0on:
See my post on how to install TWRP. Once you've installed that, you can install SuperSu (root) in TWRP's custom recovery. (You can also install Google Apps aka Gapps this way; I think that's what you mean with 'Android'). When you've obtained root, you can uninstall the unwanted (Chinese) apps via Titanium Backup or similar app.

Slow browsing

Hello,

I’ve had enough whit my slow LeTV x600 browsing speed so I decided to do a test and also ask you guys why the browsing experience is so terrible. It is unbearable, painfully slow. Please feel free to do a comparison yourself for some of the sites, if you have any interest. It would be helpful to confirm whether this is a general problem or just my phone. By the way, the browsing is a bit faster when I am connected to WiFi. I will post WiFi results next time.

I use two browsers, the stock one and then Chrome. Both are painfully slow but the stock manages a little bit better… no, not better… I mean less bad.

Before testing the loading time I rebooted the phone and cleared cache on both browsers. Furthermore, the browsers are on standard settings and without any add blockers. Connection showed 4G full reception (4 bars, same testing conditions for both), and the current version installed on my phone is the latest OTA update to OS EUI 5.5.009s.

I added a subjective measure when the sites became usable/visible but not all content had yet loaded nor the loading indicator was full. The column of “Total” represents the full and complete page loading time according to the loading indicators below the URL field.

The results below are in seconds. The values are represented in the following manner:

Stock (sec.) / Chrome (sec.)

........................................................................Usable......................Total

Phonearena.com.............................21/23.........................28/152

Gsmarena.com..................................19/17..........................19/20

Androidcentral.com......................9/23..........................12/125

Androidauthority.com................9/17............................9/135

Cnet.com................................................10/13.........................10/35

Cnn.com..................................................21/39........................25/60

Rt.com.......................................................12/18........................12/58

mobile.lemonde.fr..........................10/18........................10/53

I welcome any suggestions which can improve my browser experience, from catastrophic to acceptable. Otherwise I am thinking about changing my otherwise beloved x600 :/
[Device Reviews and Information] 0on:
First of all, I disabled and uninstalled the stock Browser through Titanium Backup. I found the stock browser to be horribly laggy as well, and furthermore it 'hijacked' downloads through my other browser (Chrome). That being said, I'm quite happy with using Chrome. It works normal (which is; not laggy, fast, responsive) with my X600.

Maybe try uninstalling the stock browser as well with Titanium Backup, and maybe switch to another browser (Opera, FireFox) and see if the sluggishness still persists.
