Never knew that was possible :)

Please find attached the APK. Let me know whether that apk file works.
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
Which apk share app did you use? They don't all let you access system apps easily(some need pro version)
[Elephone P8000] Rizera:
Hi Charlie. I have used this App:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brandao.appshare

Moreover, I do not know whether it helps or not, but my device is rooted.
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
Thanks, looks good. I'm rooted too on Eragon 6.5.1-donate version is only 61p so worth supporting the dev:)
[Elephone P8000] ruonim:
Phone is well made. But no more elephone for me. OTA bricked phone seriously? Had to pay service. Sp flash tool dont work. Probably had to remove battery to flash it. Drivers were detected and worked. Had media tek preloader in device menage when phone was plugged in.
[Elephone P8000] Stich_:
good afternoon

how to flash the phone that it supports 2G GSM: (1900)

and a 3G WCDMA (UMTS) 1900MHz

and 4G FDD-LTE B1 (2100MHz)

Thank you in advance!
[Elephone P8000] pitrus-:
As has been said many times in this forum (can be found using this nifty search function) you can't change supported baseband frequencies. You have to get yourself another phone.
[Elephone P8000] victor@ss:
It seems to me like a good deal for 170$. Furthermore Elephone makes descent phones, so I would consider buying the P8000 myself.
[Elephone P8000] RukusX7:
I just purchased an American version for $233 CAD.
[Elephone P8000] aprovis83:
i received mine yesterday. i rooted it with supersu from playstore . and i must say its great.

except the poor wifi. but i think that could be my router too
[Elephone P8000] thundermuppet:
Had mine for about 3 months now. The glass is coming away at top left hand corner and earphone socket has problem with sound. I have opened it up and resoldered, but probably need to do it again.

Sound was terrible anyway, so use old Jiayu G3 for music now, it sounds fantastic.
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
It's not your router, it's the phone... Worst WiFi ever unfortunately:rolleyes:
[Elephone P8000] bjbirch:
My p8000 is connected to WiFi just fine
[Elephone P8000] jokespot:
My glass is coming off in the upper right corner. I haven't dropped it and always used a leather flip cover, so I must take the praise of the build quality back a bit.

The sound isn't great that is true. For now I don't have any distortion at least.
[Elephone P8000] thundermuppet:
I have the case, it is cracked now for some reason - might be bad fit- if it fell it wasnt far.

I think its a fault on mine and not a loose joint. When I put the earphone in I can hear a slight buzzing for a few seconds.
[Elephone P8000] pitrus-:
It's not the WiFi, it's the DNS service in the ROM.
[Elephone P8000] Perseus:
That's news to me. Care to elaborate further please ?
[Elephone P8000] jokespot:
I have a problem that it doesn't want to connect to most routers without restarting WiFi, while it connects fine to some without having to disconnect/connect. A bit annoying.
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
Wonder if we can tinker with the android DNS settings?

hello guys

im gonna order this phone in the next days

i only use smartphone for calls, internet and sometimes watch a movie or listen to mp3

i dont play games on it

do u still think this is a good buy or should i go with the alcatel one touch idol 3?

thank you

cheers

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

hello

is the wifi connection better on custom roms like the eragon one?

dont see anybody complaining over bad wifi on that thread....

thanx
[Elephone P8000] Rizera:
I think that, for those purposes, the P8000 is a pretty good bet. What is the price for the Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 5.5", so I can compare?

What I can say about my P8000 is that the battery is awesome as well as the screen, phone UI is snappy as you'd like it to be, being the 3 worst points of it the camera, which sucks specially in low light, the 3D gaming performance and the sub-15% subtle battery drop. Other than that, phone is great in general.

I have a older batch (no LED) P8000 and I never had complains with any of these matters, even though a number of users have reported: bad wifi, headphone jack and fingerprint. To me, all those have always worked just fine since day 1, being either on Eragon or Stock

hi [MENTION=2105197]s7yler[/MENTION] and thank you for your great reviews

I have a question that is came to my mind after seeing your review.

where can I find the silead fingerprint calibration app (30:15)??
[Elephone P8000] ardrift:
Type in: *#*#745323*37*01#*#* to dialer and this app will launch. I found it on 4pda :D

Thanks!!!
[Elephone P8000] siminhu:
Not for me, are you sure?
[Elephone P8000] ardrift:
Yea, it works on cm build 6 too. It worked on nexus rom 2.4 when i last tried it on a stock based rom.
[Elephone P8000] SZ16FC:
These guys make a comparison video among the Elephone P8000, Oukitel K6000 Pro, Ulefone power, Leagoo Elite 1, Umi Touch, Jiayu S3+ and Doogee F5. They all with MTK6753 chipset, 3GB of RAM and reasonable price.

[Elephone P8000] ardrift:
I have an additional rumor, that the fingerprint reader will use google's official fingerprint API. You can't see any separate "fingerprint" menu in the settings, just in the "security" menu (video: 2:17). So I suppose that's google's API. That was the same with the P9000, it had a separate fingerprint menu right in the settings, and after an update it appeared in the security menu. I'd be glad if someone could confirm this :D
[Elephone P8000] drdedus:
Yes I saw it.

But who will be so brave to update first?

With elephone when you push the update button is like playing roulette in casino.
[Elephone P8000] Perseus:

[Elephone P8000] der_Kief:
does the P8000 have Gorilla Glass ?

Cannot find any information on product site.

According to product site there is a Proximity sensor !
[Elephone P8000] Perseus:
I didn't see anything on on their Forum. http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-3815-1-2.html

Trust me when I say, either I am blind or the proximity sensor is not there.
[Elephone P8000] FunkiBluDawg:
Thanks for the review [MENTION=3639717]Perseus[/MENTION]

Some questions:

1. What the colour of the notification light ? (Is it a single colour or multi colour & configurable ?). Same question for the menu/back button lights.

2. Can one install any ROM on it or we only flash a elephone ROM ? (Related, is the bootloader also unlocked or can be unlocked easily ?)

3. How is the general performance ? Any lag noticable ? (Given that its octa core, but at low clock speeds compared to P7000)

4. Any noticable bloatware/crapware/spyware included in the ROM?

5. Are there separate Sim1, Sim2 & SD slots ? OR Sim2 & Sd slot are together?

6. No Proximity Sensor... This is a bit worrying...The website states it has. Could you try an app like "Sensor Box" to say what it finds & reports

[I have ordered a Gold P8000 from elephone.cc but still waiting and getting tempted by One Plus two]
[Elephone P8000] Perseus:
1. Bright Blue as far as I can tell. There's no way to configure that I can see. The buttons are just backlight. No configuration that I see.

2. I doubyt you can install any rom. You need custom recovery first. Then someone making a rom for this device. I haven't explored the bootloader yet. Think its unlocked already.

3. Pretty snappy as far as I can tell.

4. Not that much bloat. A few apps to check for firmware updates, One Proxy/VPN app that's about it.

5. Yes all 3 separate.

6. Well Call me blind. Proximity sensor is present afterall. The little line between earpiece and front camera contains proximity sensor.

Any clue about Custom Rom Development ? Can you post there Kernel source and other required files ?

---------- Post added at 08:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 AM ----------

Mn personal opinion about Elephone P8000.

Very good build quality - OS and Metal Body.

Battery lusting for me minimum 1-full day - I use All the social networks and 3G sim card also I have 32GB SD card Samsung class 10.

I don't find any lag till now, I'm facing problem with Camera some time force close.

I will check the battery charging time today.

The phone is worth for money without any doubt, the device not getting heat like My M9 or Mi4

Any doubts ask me.. I will keep you posted..
[Elephone P8000] vickdu31:

Hows camera comppared to let say mi3 or meizu m2 note? Cheers
[Elephone P8000] Aaxios:
Hi,

I am very very new to xda... forgive me for the questions, but I am very interested in this phone... :)

The most important feature I am looking for in a phone is battery autonomy, thus I am currently using a Lenovo P780 with custom rom, and it is really working well... but.... it begins to feel a little bit "sluggish" in the very very simple tasks I am using it (other than to make phone calls), such as taking pictures and doing basic web browsing and/or using some specific apps (remote video secutiry, PIM, banking, online boooking and checking train timetables...).

On the other hand, battery charge, with my standard use, lasts for more than 4 days!!!!

Anyway, to cut it short: is the 13mp samsung camera module any good? The actual 8mp camera of the Lenovo P780 works nicely under direct and good lighting, but it is a bit slow when taking pics and the quality degrades noticeably when it is darker....

I use the Lenovo P780 (battery is less than 4000 mah) usually fixed on 2G network, no apps, no wifi and no bluetooth, only switching to 3G and data connection when needed (with custom rom and bit of practice it takes two "touches" and 6/7 seconds, including network operations)... would the P8000 likely have at least comparable battery performance with its 4150 mah battery (even if screen and cpu are more power demanding)?

Really many many thanks in advance for any small bit of advice anyone could spare! :)
[Elephone P8000] lopusina:
The way you use phone, i think you would get 3 days of usage, but i would wait for few days more if i was in your place, so you could see other people battery usage.
[Elephone P8000] jacksparao:
hard use

The Camera is Decent am sure its far better then P780, the battery is really amazing for me.. its lusting me 30+ hrs minimum for me, which is unbelievable.

I sync all - Whatsapp, FB, Twitter, Gamil, Truecaller,Wechat, Linkedin, all - I have around 10 games too.. the phone is best in the market as of now..

Fingerprint scanner does the job, but need a lot of use case for it.. locking and locking thru finger I don't believe its big use case..

Most important is the phone is not heating like other phones..
[Elephone P8000] fullrespect:
Can somebody confirm the antutu score - as Perseus shown it is only 13k - LOL my ZP700 has 17k
[Elephone P8000] MUG3NHC:
I just watched a russian review and it was 30000. Other videos show 29000~32000.

Maybe Perseus can double check?
[Elephone P8000] Perseus:
I certainly can and I will. Please understand that my 13K was in 64bit mode of AnTuTu since the SoC is 64bit. I should have but did not run the same test in 32bit mode. I am doing it right now.

EDIT - Uh Oh! Darn Why didn't I see this coming ? The Score is 31911. But its Unverified. See AnTuTu's Big Disclaimer. Screens in my prior post.In short what it means is that either MTK or Ele Intercepted and Doctored the frames to fake a bigger score. Antutu X is not available either in Playstore or not for my country.

EDIT2 - Could be that I don't have a valid Internet access on the phone. I will try with my Sim activated in there.

EDIT 3 - No joy. With working internet over WiFi, still coming unverified. I don't get any bars with SIM either. Looking into that.
[Elephone P8000] MUG3NHC:
Thanks. Umi Iron with same specs in 64bit mode still scores around 30000 so i dont get it...
[Elephone P8000] Aaxios:
Regarding Antutu's score: it seems to me that the phone aligns itself with other similar models.. and that the "non confirmed" status might be caused by something else.

I doubt it could really be 3 times slower than other similar phones (oer better it cannot have scores 3 times worse than the other phones)! ;)
[Elephone P8000] lopusina:
Try again sometimes later it happened to me with my mx4, once i get verified and once i get non verified. I has something to do with internet connection, and that score looks ok for the mt6753 so i presume it's not tampered with.
[Elephone P8000] jackfacespoon:
Just bought one of these from Elephone's website for ~£109, which is excellent.

Two questions I don't think have been properly answered - what's the fingerprint tech like? Success rate? Applications for it sound limited.

And does anyone have a decent way of double checking the battery capacity? I straight-up don't trust the 4000 rating...
[Elephone P8000] jacksparao:
answer

Thru Fingerprint scanner only I unlock the phone, its working 99% fine.. I'm my self making a app lock and unlock thru finger print scanner.. which will make the phone 100% use full.

Battery I get one full day, am happy with the phone.
[Elephone P8000] fullrespect:
When I get the phone I will probably dismantle it, remove the battery and plug into my computer charger with LCD display and will do a full charge and discharge - then we will get the correct and true results.

Charger I will use is that: http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__6792__iCharger_106B_plus_250W_6s_Balance_Charger.html
[Elephone P8000] Perseus:
I do believe I have tried to address fingerprint in my first post on the thread. Its flaky at best for me. If I set to unlock on fingerprint, each time it takes 4 tries to get it right.

I am starting to question Battery. possibly the rating too. read on

This is definitely be needed. I am seriously questioning the battery calibration. Today was my 3rd charging cycle. I'd let the phone drain completely overnight and it had turned off. Yet when I started it, the battery reported 21 %. That is no way possible as I left the phone alone at 10 % to drain overnight.
[Elephone P8000] jacksparao:
very true

Even True, the battery not calibrated well for sure.. 15% it was and drooped to 6%, looking for best customrom
[Elephone P8000] jackfacespoon:
Agreed - that's an excellent idea. Considering the two posts above this one too, it sounds like this is sorely needed.

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

Thanks guys. Perseus - sorry missed - can't see anything on it in your review or on the first post? Anyway, mixed results here, clearly.
[Elephone P8000] MUG3NHC:
Andro news from russia measured the battery with this. As you can see, it shows ~4000mah.
[Elephone P8000] fullrespect:
This gives us an idea... but not a true result.

Now, tech Info from Poland :P

The true result will be when you actually charge it to full an then drain it to minimum voltage which should be 3V. Then check the real value of mAh drained from the battery, and this will be the true battery capacity.
[Elephone P8000] MUG3NHC:
Go for it. Im afraid i dont know how to do it;)

Dzieki i pozdro!
[Elephone P8000] fullrespect:
Definitely will go when I get the bloody phone :P

Pozdro !
[Elephone P8000] Perseus:
You're right. I didn't have it. There was one time when I was typing that the page refreshed and now I realized the parts I had typed then had gone. Its there now.
[Elephone P8000] frulex:
Hi! Since I'm planning on ordering one for myself, can someone confirm two things:

1) Is Home button actually a LED notification light - does it really lights up on messages or low battery?

2) Can you switch 3G from SIM1 to SIM2 in Settings?

Tnx...
[Elephone P8000] viktorhu:
This is completely normal for a polymer battery.

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

This is why it is not working for you. You do NOT move your finger on the sensor. Not for registration, and not for unlocking.

Registration: place your finger on the sensor. It will fill some red lines (to green color). Remove your finger. Place it again, maybe in a differen angle. Wait a few moments again for the device to register the new details. Remove your finger, place it again etc - do it until it finishes registration (you may need to do this around 10 times until ready).

Now for unlocking: just place your finger on the sensor - READY :)
[Elephone P8000] MUG3NHC:

[Elephone P8000] frulex:
I don't think it's normal - my Li-Po never skipped even 1% during two years, no matter which ROM was installed...
[Elephone P8000] viktorhu:
Then it was hidden by the driver... You cannot physically go down to 1 percent. And with a polymer battery the charge is falling very rapidly over the last few percents and has to be turned off quickly before it would reach a level where it can never wake up again.

This can be hidden if the driver reports 1% when it is still at 6% for example, so it will be nice to the eyes.
[Elephone P8000] frulex:
No, I didn't mean it dropped to 1% (the phone always shuts down at exactly 5%), I meant it never SKIPPED down more than 1% (like from 21% to 16% or similar) it always discharges gradually and evenly by 1%, and not rapidly even at last percentage (for example from 10% to 5%). But I see that a lot in other phones, my wife's Lenovo does that all the time...

Because the way those guys at elephone forum describe rooting it sounds like a nightmare

May I know how long is your SOT?

Is there a battery test for Elephone P8000 available at Geekbench?

Because I might be planning to get this one soon

I will post a small guide here maybe tomorrow or day after, its 5mins work nothing big deal.

For me the phone is lusting one full day, charging time I have to notice tomorrow, as they released new update wanted to update and make sure all..

Hopefully you could give some more insight on actual charging time since the ads does feature quickcharge within 90 minutes.

Btw, how would you rank the battery life for P8000 compared to lenovo p780?
[Elephone P8000] MUG3NHC:
Can you tell me exact screen on time before the phone dies/is at low percentage?
[Elephone P8000] Perseus:
1. Yes to all 3. No Color changes though.

2. Yes.

If I recall correctly, that is what I did for the registration. I will try the latter part for the unlock.

Yes it certainly is. WITH the Update. I did get the update before I rooted. See my first post in this thread.

TL;DR: Use Towel Root.
[Elephone P8000] s7yler:
[MENTION=3639717]Perseus[/MENTION] not all P8000 have a notification LED. (but some seems to, because I also saw some YT videos where it does light up). In mine there is NO notification LED, just like the one ITXTutor made a teardown of.

I have asked Elephone directly about this today, and they told me that the FIRST batch of the P8000 doesn't come with a notification LED, but according to them, the phones after will have it. (of course I can't guarantee that, that is just what Elephone have told me). And this is for me really disappointing! the manufactures have to STOP making a first batch that is different, to do that is just a fail! and will lower any kind of sale of a phone.
[Elephone P8000] -Tiz-:
Because my phone has not yet been shipped, I will hopefully receive one from the second batch. I DO like to have a notification light.

[MENTION=2105197]s7yler[/MENTION] Looking forward to your review. I would be grateful if you could check whether the phone supports a compass app and whether the GPS supports Glonass. Is it true that the phone has only an acceleration but not gyro sensor and, if yes, does this have a negative impact? Is the camera really from Samsung or is it from Sun Win (like ITXtutor says in his tear down video at 8:30)? This would be contrary to the promised specs? Or is it just the cable that is made by SunWin?
[Elephone P8000] zijin_cheng:
Anybody received their Elephone with defects?
[Elephone P8000] s7yler:
No compass, but GPS supports GLONASS. It doesn't have any Gyroscope, also it is not really needed - many phones doesn't have that. But you will not be able to use for example Google Cardboard without.

Camera, I don't know what kind it is, but I find the rear camera pretty good. It makes some pictures with good detail and sharpness.
[Elephone P8000] MUG3NHC:
The question is, what is considered first batch and whats not.

I ordered one in grey a week ago as the grey ones arrived last (hopefully second batch)

and a gold one today (hopefully second batch as well).

I will be disappointed if they dont have the notification light...
[Elephone P8000] fullrespect:

Ah. Thanks for enlightening me. I was not aware. In my case, I had gotten a device that has the home device doubling as a blue LED. Out of Box the led does not change color even for Battery. So I think the hardware isn't capable of changing color.

YES. A BIG ONE. I do not get bars with a T-Mobile US SIM. Probably the device does not support US Frequency Band ?

Probably yes. Take along your sim card and make sure everything works before buying. If you are buying on Internet, Check return policy.
