As far as I know you can not disable it. It was installed by one of the mods.

In my opinion the wifi of 19E is ok, maybe not the best possible and I also think the wifi of my THL 5000 was better, but anyway I compared it to an Iphone 5s and the signal quality was on the same level.

I'm thinking of getting the LeTV One. But I'm on Vodafone UK, which uses 4G 800 (not on the LeTV) and 2600MHz. Anyone know what 4G coverage would be like for me?

Anyone using this phone on VODA UK?

Thanks.

Is Letv a Good Buy, after all?

Hi people!

I'm thinking to buy the X600.

However i see you describe a few major issues (wifi issue is the worst, to me).

In the end of the day, do you think its still a good buy? Will you buy it again?

Greetings
[Device Reviews and Information] Phreaky:
I'm using it on the 4s rom and wifi is good - as good or bad as any other device in terms of range. I'll definitely recommend it
[Device Reviews and Information] Rizera:
In the 300 USD range, this looks and performs better than any other phone I have ever heard of. When I used 2S Rom, I had no Wifi issues at all. So I upgraded to 4S and the issues started. Upgraded to 19E and everything was good again. Last week I sold because I received an offer I could not refuse, but either way, I highly recommend it to anyone.
[Device Reviews and Information] xlr8me:
Guys I am thinking of buying this X600 Letv model.

I have had mediatek in past and am concerned about GPS stability and reliability. I have never had issues with qualcomm devices.

Would you go with the cheaper mediateK version or the qualcomm if you had a chance to buy again???????????

i.e. is GPS still an issue and is WiFi a problem??? and can anyone confirm if this device is rooted from factory or can be rooted?

Many many thnx in advance.
[Device Reviews and Information] Gerrit507:
With 19E WiFi is good now. The GPS still has some problems in tight packed streets in cities, it's not perfect. It's accuracy is about 5-10m. The device is of course not rooted from factory but it can be easily done. See the guide I posted recently for the le1 Pro.

I would not buy the le1 pro, because it's only features are slightly better processor, the Snapdragon 810, which has heavy heat issues and it's performance under heat is lower than the performance of the x10. The other thing is the display, you don't need a 2K display on a phone because you won't see any difference to a full HD display, it's already almost on the limit of the human eyes capabilities. It only drains more power and more performance while gaming. Only cool thing is the 4GB RAM but you only need those if you perform heavy multitasking. So save this money and get a le1 it's cost effiency is almost perfect. Have a look on kimovil.com, they rate it with 9.7 out of 10. Only thing you have to be aware on this phone is that it is no phone you can use just out of the box outside of China, there's just to much letv stuff on it, which is okay because they sell the phone so cheap, but if you really want to max it out you need at least a little experience to install at least another launcher and/or a custom rom.

One thing I'm still wondering is the battery. The overall battery life is good in my eyes. I always have around 20-40% left at the end of the day, depending on usage. But again the phone drained the first 6% really fast, even after a calibration. I didn't use the phone for about 2h and it left 6% only with WiFi and data on. The battery usage stats only list Google play services and Android Os with each 1%, very strange. Than after while, when going under 90% the battery drops much much slower.
[Device Reviews and Information] guy6136206:
I compare it to the oneplus one and it's way to weak.

I think I have some problem with the wifi, there is no way the that signal range is OK in NY device, it's way to weak.
[Device Reviews and Information] Gerrit507:
Yes it is weak, but it's still not worse than average in my opinion. It has to be a software issue because the wifi module is integrated in the processor. I don't think it's because of the antenna, all smartphone manufacturers build in almost the same wifi antenna modules... Try changing to 5Ghz, it does not penetrate walls as good as 2,4 Ghz but you have way less interfernce and it's much faster.
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
Usually your phone searches all frequencies. And "usually" one can go to engineer mode and change the bands there, but for some reason, this phone doesn't allow it. In my case, i wasn't getting 4G because my card didn't have it activated.

---------- Post added at 15:33 ---------- Previous post was at 15:30 ----------

I too had a THL 5000! Wifi was definitely better on it! At least that was something very good on the 5000.

---------- Post added at 15:34 ---------- Previous post was at 15:33 ----------

You have to check with your operator what's the 2600MHz converage. I think some sites have user-reported coverage as well.

---------- Post added at 15:36 ---------- Previous post was at 15:34 ----------

What version of the BB72 ROM do you have? BB72 lauched a version based on 18E and then a patch from 18E to 19E. In 18E wifi got a lot better than 4S.

---------- Post added at 16:02 ---------- Previous post was at 15:51 ----------

Again, the version you are running really matters a lot. LeTV lauched 4S with very weak wifi, i don't know why they did that, knowing people are angry and furious on their forums about it. 18E got a lot better. Also, do check your router settings, your old phone may not had problems, but this phone may be a little more "sensitive". Check if you have another wifi network nearby, the channels may overlap and cause problems. Change the channel to see if it gets better. Oh and of course the walls, im my experience do matter. My THL 5000 had better wifi than my HP laptop, but when walls got in the middle, 5000's wifi died when the laptop would be stil good.

Or wait for 5S, that will be out this wednesday.
[Device Reviews and Information] guy6136206:
I have 2 wifi spot in mY house,both of them works great with the oneplus one and so poor with this phone, I hope that the next update will fix it.

Again, you can not disable it. It was a patch by bb72.
[Device Reviews and Information] Z953RR:
in chinese forum theres a thread about MIUI 7..

http://bbs.letv.com/thread-808894-1.html

BUT im little confused about it...
[Device Reviews and Information] Gerrit507:
I made a little research on the battery usage of the letv 1, with success. First of all I installed CPU Spy, it shows clock steps of the CPU and how often they are used. I was astonished about the fact that the phone was running at the max clock, 2 Ghz, at over 20% of the time(!), I did not do any gaming, nor any other high performance stuff on the phone at that day. The other thing, was that the phone did clock at 400 Mhz almost never, it was used around 3% of the time. About 40% percent of runtime the cpu clocked at 800 Mhz(!), which means to me that almost always when the phone wakes up from Deep Sleep it clocks at 800Mhz. Next step was that I installed "No-frills CPU Control". The standard set governor of the phone is "interactive". I looked up what this governor does and was shocked. You can fnd a good overview of all governors in english here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1736168

The governor "interactive" is the worst you can do for battery life time, it always pushes the CPU to the max clock when you activate the display. Imagine you just want to look up the time or read a message, the cpu always pushes up to 2Ghz and is only slowly throttling down. Crazy, isn't it? The selection of the governors is not that big on the letv 1. So I just gave the governor "powersave" a try. Otherwise than usual, this governor does

not

lock the CPU speed at minimum clock. I observed it and it uses all frequencies but only when they are needed. My phone was running for 5:30h so far and is at 80%. The cpu clocked at 403Mhz for 8%, at 806Mhz for 16% and at 1183 Mhz for 7% of the runtime. It clocked at 2Ghz only 2% of the time. Rest was deep sleep(62%) and a minimal amount of the other plus 1 Ghz frequencies. I only used the phone for messaging and browsing and could not recognize any lags or issues at all.

So if you really want to save power, forget everything else, and turn on the powersave governor, I think it might double the battery lifetime for some users.

Hi! Anybody already tried the new 5s version that comes out today?
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:

Oh BTW, you must have some app mis-behaving, because that's definitely not normal. Check what process is using too much CPU.

---------- Post added at 16:51 ---------- Previous post was at 16:30 ----------

Waiting for BB72 to release his ROM with it.
[Device Reviews and Information] Gerrit507:
The Google App wakes up my smartphone very often, I think I can fix that. Have a look in hdblog forum. A user there posted similar values to mine. You'll see the same stats, it's just because letv wants a good performance regardless to the battery life time. Many manufacturers do that. Most of them use the Ondemand governor which is similar to the interactive governor. The THL 5000 used hotplug by default which is a more saving variant of Ondemand, it turns Cores off faster. If I remember correctly the powersave governor of the LeTV behaves a bit like this hotplug governor of THL.
[Device Reviews and Information] fishku:
Thank you for the research! Greatly needed for this phone with a still not-so-big community over here :D

BTW, I read that 5S does not support "double tap to wake". Can someone confirm?

Hello,

I managed to unbrick my Letv One with SP Flash Tool and scatter files that I found on chinese forum. (Rom 02S)

[Device Reviews and Information] battouter:
how much screen on time do you average on the device?
[Device Reviews and Information] battouter:
battery review is too vague...

anybody else would be so kind to post how much screen on time the device gets in a single charge? i'm guessing around 5 hours? screenshots would be appreciated.
[Device Reviews and Information] Rizera:
Sorry, I have already sold my LeTV, so I can't take screenshots. I am a heavy user, and I usually would get around 3h-3h30min of screen on time with my LeTV (50% brightness, no power saving mode, no root, no bloat removed). In the past, I have done a Geekbench 3 battery test (with screen dimming, offline mode), and these are the results I got:

http://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/92145

Of course, by real life/normal use (especially using dual sim 4G+2G) battery is going to take a hit. The battery did not impress me at all (I would be astonished if anyone got 5h SOT with dual sim on), however, it does charge really fast! In less than 2 hours, it goes from 0 to 100%.
[Device Reviews and Information] battouter:
thanks for the very detailed reply!

The 3.5 hrs SoT you were getting was with 4g data always on? And both sims active?
[Device Reviews and Information] Rizera:
Yes, 4G (first SIM) and 2G (second SIM) always on.

You are welcome :)
[Device Reviews and Information] Gerrit507:
Yesterday I got 52% with 11:30h of run time. The display was active 1:30h. This was mit double tap to wake on, powersave interactive governor on 19E of bb72. Today I'm trying the same without double tap to wake on, so far so good. I got 7:20h runtime with 20 min of active display and still got 82% of battery left. Most of the time I have mobile data and / or WiFi on. Sometimes also Bluetooth. It seems like double tap to wake has a not to underestimate influence on battery life time.
[Device Reviews and Information] Gerrit507:
Yesterday I got 12:45h of runtime with 1:20h of on screen time and it had 56%. Even tough I streamed 30 min YouTube, what I didn't do that day before. With the same settings as above just without Double Tap to wake. Now I have almost 24h of runtime and still about 30% left. I come to the conclusion that double tap to wake will definitely cost you much battery power, I'd say it cost you about 10%. For me it's not worth it. Let's see what 5S brings.

Phone suddenly dead...

Hi' everybody :D

Yesterday I updated to the new firmware 5.0.005S. After that I deleted the chinese apps and updated the Google Play Store. Then I made some reboots and everything worked okay and there were around 40% power left on the phone. Then when I was about to make another reboot, the phone shut down normally, but now it's impossible to turn the phone on again. :(

I have tried to push power + vol up for long time without luck. When I try to charge it, then the notification light is all red, and the phone and charger does'nt get hot, but is ice cold. Nothing happens when I plug the phone to my computer. It is impossible to communicate with the phone.

Does anybody have some advice to what I can do, or is the phone just dead and I have to buy a new one?

Best regards :)
[Device Reviews and Information] Gerrit507:
This sounds like a broken battery or charging unit. I would contact your reseller or letv for repair. You have one year warranty, usually all you need to pay for is the delivery to china.
[Device Reviews and Information] Sjavsen:
I think you are right. The charger works fine with my old phone, so perhaps it is the battery that stopped working. Just kind of strange the phone died just after I made an update for the firmware 5.0.005S. :)

I bought it at pandawill.com and as you say there are one year warranty, I just don't know what I think about sending the phone to China for repair, and then if they fix they will have access to all things on my phone, fx. all app accounts...
[Device Reviews and Information] Sjavsen:
UPDATE: Phone dead and no power

YES!!! :D :D :good:

I couldn't understand how the phone suddenly stopped working and was all dead with no power when it's only 1 month old, so I followed the guide from Youtube how to disassemble the phone. The video is called "LeTV X600 teardown [How to disassemble] by GizChina.it"

And then I saw that the wire going from the battery to the "motherboard" on the phone was loose and not connected to the phone.

I pressed the wire down on the mortherboard till it said "click" and was connected corretly, and now the phone is working perfectly again :laugh:

I hope others can use this help if they encounter the same problem as I did.

Best regards :o
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
Geez how come the cable unplugged inside the phone?! Guess you are not having your sextapes leaked by some chinese guy...

BB72 released his 5S, I'm currently installing it, let's see. They removed double tap to wake, by the way, it seems like it caused a lot of trouble.

edit: I still can't open Nova Launcher Settings anymore, the app just crashes. This problem exists since 18E. Is anybody facing the same problem? I already tried wiping nova completly but it doesn't help.

edit2: If you change the governor with No-frills CPU Control, make sure to tick apply at startup and also allow the app to autostart. Otherwise you'll have interactive again after every reboot. To check which governor is currently in usage I recommend CPU-Z. My battery "tests" weren't made with powersave governor, because it just reverted to interactive automatically.
[Device Reviews and Information] popo72:

[Device Reviews and Information] Gerrit507:

Me too. And there's more, when i drag an app to Edit to i can add it to some folder, it doesn't work. The only way is to open the folder, press the 3 dots and press Select Apps.

This thing with Nova is actually the reason i'm looking for another launcher, i thought i was the only one having this issue. I don't need a feature-rich launcher, just some app folders and widgets, so i'm trying Mini launcher now. Seems fast and small.
[Device Reviews and Information] TheCatCharli:
Im on vanilla 5s and it has it.

On the other hand with 5s (maybe even with 18- 19E) im expiriencing odd behavior and sometimes the phone reboots by it self (get black screen and shortly after that it reboots).
[Device Reviews and Information] popo72:
It is due to double tap to wake....5S shouldn't have it since it still creates some problems of reboot and shutdown
[Device Reviews and Information] Gerrit507:
If you update from 19E to 5S directly without any wipes, double tap to wake stays on the phone, that's why you got it.

I can move Apps in Folders on Nova Launcher. I even can configure settings on another phone, backup it with Titanium and put it on the letv and it works, just opening the settings crashes it instantly. I could not find anything helpful on google about this bug... It seems like only the letv has it.

Solution!!

Thank you for your help. I have tried that with no luck. After a really long search and trying lots of stuff, I finally found a solution!

If you are having trouble getting your LeTV to show up on USB ADB (e.g. when trying "adb devices"), create a file called "adb_usb.ini" in your "~/.android" folder. On windows, the home folder "~" refers to your user folder, on mac/linux, it's... your home folder (accessible also via "/home/username/"). In that "adb_usb.ini" file, put:

0x2b0e

On windows, make sure that the file isn't saved as "adb_usb.ini.txt", as this will not work.

What this does is allow the manufacturing code of "2b0e" for USB devices to connect over ADB. "2b0e" in this case is LeTV. I assume since it is not a common manufacturer, it is not enabled for ADB by default.

Also, it might be beneficial to delete the "adbkey" and "adbkey.pub" files in the same folder.

This immediately made ADB work for me on all machines, whereas it wasn't working before!

Something else: How to get "double tap to wake" to work on 005s without flashing different ROMs first: I found out that you can use the code

*#*#46360000#*#*

(dial on your telephone) to access some hidden settings. "Double tap to wake" should also be there!

I still didn´t manage to sync my Google account contacts to the phone numbers list. My google account shows up in "settings"->"accounts" but on the phone contacts the only account it allows to sync with is the Letv account. I even installed 2 more contacts apps and none synched.

Also, if I root the phone in order to remove all chinese apps will I loose warranty ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Gerrit507:
Very strange because for me they are still there. Try to reinstall Google Apps. I guess if you didn't have root before it was installed by your reseller. Follow this tutorial http:// xdaforums.com/general/general/guide-twrp-root-gapps-letv-s1-pro-t3150782

The vendors say you loose warranty if you root your device but because rooting is only a software change and not permanent, they won't even know if it's rooted. Usually all devices in repair service get completely wiped to exclude software issues.
