I've not had any of those graphic glitches in a while now. I don't use jetAudio though. Oh I also set my DPI to 420 too, I don't see what difference that should make to the graphic glitching but worth mentioning I guess.
[Device Reviews and Information] anonymous1:
Thanks. What did you use to set the dpi?

I tried modifying the build.prop, but it was in Chinese. Had to do a hard reset as I forgot to back up the original. :silly:

Has anyone tried to modify the build.prop to bring up the on screen Nav Bar (soft keys)?
[Device Reviews and Information] :
On-screen keys are not available even after modifying build.prop, I tried.

For density you can try either adb wm density or ro.sf..lcd_density

Below is some facebook comments from people and Ulephone regarding the random crashing and reboots and lockups on incoming calls.

My question is: Does anyone who has installed TWRP custom recovery have the crashing on incoming calls issue or is Ulephone just making up something...?

Thanks

A guy- Has this update fixed the constant random rebooting and freezing on incoming calls???????????????

UleFone The problem may caused by the recovery mode that used in the device. Please, try to install TWRP recovery mode for your phone and install new update with it.

UleFone, please, contact the retailer where you purchase the device, describe the situation and ask for the repair. If you will have any problems with the retailer, please, contact our customer support via e-mail service@ulefone.com
[Device Reviews and Information] Andy4Shurr:
As BachMinuteInG said, modify the line "ro.sf.lcd_density" entry in build.prop. I used an app called build.prop editor to do this.

I've never had crashing on incoming calls, I had Carliv Recovery installed from the get go. That said I don't get that many incoming calls, I mainly dial out, so I don't know what bearing that has on things.
[Device Reviews and Information] :
I don't get random reboots, but I do get random phone shutdowns. Sometimes the device just decides to turn itself off.

How to flash from official 12/10?

Inviato dal mio Be Touch 2 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
You tried wrong. I did the follow steps and is working great for me.

To Disable or Enable the On-Screen / Virtual Software Keys:

Download ES Explorer

In ES Explorer settings -> Root settings, tick ‘Root Explorer’, ‘Up to Root’ and ‘Mount File System’

Exit settings and tap ‘Up’ in the top row of icons. This will bring you to the root of your file system.

Navigate to ‘System’

Scroll down until you see ‘build.prop’. Tap it and then tap ‘Open with ES Note Editor’

Scroll down until you see ‘qemu.hw.mainkeys=’ or ‘ro.show.navigationbar=”

If you see ‘qemu.hw.mainkeys=’, set to 0 (zero) to enable the onscreen / virtual softkeys. Set it to 1 (one) to disable them

If you see ‘ro.show.navigationbar=’, set to yes to enable or no to disable (thanks to user iakinthos for this)

Tap settings and save

Bam you are done. Reset your phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] anonymous1:
Thanks for posting this guide.

Would anyone be able to post the default build.prop from the latest OTA (Oct OTA), please?

Managed to accidentally delete my build.prop file...don't ask! :mad:

Need it before my battery dies, otherwise will have to reflash everything!
[Device Reviews and Information] :
Wow okay, I set the qemu.hw.mainkeys but didn't change ro.show.navigationbar, that's probably why it didn't work. Nice.

You welcome...my pleasure....!!!

No there is no app with a joypad any other ideas?

Thanks in advance
[Device Reviews and Information] error23:
Here we go:

First install TWRP (you can find it also on needrom -> Be Touch 2 TWRP )

You can do this either via flashtool, or – if you´re using Win8/10 you can install via Recovery Mode:

1.) Get Fastboot and ADB driver (google is your friend)

2.) Download Be Touch 2 TWRP 2.8.7.0 and extract it to your folder where fastboot.exe is located

3.) Rename the extracted recoverye.img to recovery.img

4.) Start the Recovery mode on BT2 -> Turn off, then press Power + Volume Up until the Ulefone Logo Appears

5.) When see the android lying on the back, push the Home Button (Fingerprint) and the Stock Recovery Menu appears

6.) Select Option 6 -> "reboot bootloader" using the volume keys and select the choice with the power button

7.) BT2 will reboot into fastboot mode (on the left bottom of the screen you will see "Fastboot…."

8.) connect via usb to your PC, open a command window and navigate to the directory where fastboot.exe (and recovery.img) is located

9.) type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and the following output should appear

D:\Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (13540 KB)… OKAY [ 1.313s]

writing 'recovery'… OKAY [ 0.266s]

finished. total time: 1.578s

10.) From now on you will fire up TWRP Recovery with Power + Volume Up and are able to root and install custom ROMs

after this, download Crystalrom, place the .zip file on your phones storage (or SD Card), start TWRP, do a Factory reset and install the crystalrom zip file.

(All data will be lost, of course - so backup your personal files...)

good luck ;)

Please give me your lights here. My battery went to 1% and i plugged my charger. I let it for 30 minutes and i noticed that the battery was still on 7%!!! Then i unplugged my charger. i powered off my phone and i plugged it again with my phone powered off. It showed me 57%!!! Strange... Then i powered on my phone with the charger plugged in and shows me 57%. I don't know what this is. Very strange. Do you know any solution about this problem? Suddenly my phone charging very very slow.
[Device Reviews and Information] thierry77c:
Did you try with another charger ?

Perhaps you battery must be calibrate again.

Envoyé de mon Be Touch 2 en utilisant Tapatalk
[Device Reviews and Information] Andy4Shurr:
I used to get this on the July firmware after flashing.

Like Thierry says, the battery needs calibrating. You need to let your phone completely discharge and then while off charge it fully. Repeat this step a couple of times.
[Device Reviews and Information] Tadukli:
Hello guys,

I have got a problem with the proximity sensor. However trying to calibrate it, it doesn't save min &max value.

I'm not rooted yet. Have you any idea to fix that ? thanks in advance
[Device Reviews and Information] thierry77c:
I have the same issue, you must calibrate the sensor every boot, if i reboot the phone, it loose the calibrate. I think we must stand another futur update software.

Envoyé de mon Be Touch 2 en utilisant Tapatalk
[Device Reviews and Information] Andy4Shurr:
How are you calibrating the sensor, via MTK Engineering Tools? I used to get this problem when doing it that way but since calibrating via the normal phone settings menu I don't have a problem any more, the calibration stays and works well.
[Device Reviews and Information] rukud:
I installed the Elephone Port Rom and have to say that it rocks. Even with the latest Ulfefone update I had troubles with the battery life. After calibrating the battery three times, overnight it would show that it lost 30%. But when I use the phone it would drain like crazy after the night. This rendered the phone useless unless I charged it up in the morning.

The Elephone Port Firmware doesn't have this problem it seems. It's much faster and the the battery is stable. So far I'd guess that I can get two extra hours of screen on time.
[Device Reviews and Information] Andy4Shurr:
I have a similar weird battery thing when fully charged and I leave the phone overnight. This morning, for example, my phone said it lost 6% (saying it had 94% charge) overnight but when I unlocked and made sure my alarm was off it suddenly dropped to 84% charge.

Also, it appears that my phone didn't deep sleep for the whole night. I have WiFi off when screen off and scanning always off etc. but I think having the option "Intelligent Power Saving Standby" causes this issue.

All that being said, I have ordered a new phone so that should be with me next week so I'll sell this BT2 and not have to worry about it.
[Device Reviews and Information] imprezawrxhatch:
Hi Guys, actually should check the voltage value as that would give u a more accurate reading when the phone will turn off. Mine turn off at approx. 3.4V. When 100%, it is showing 4.3V.
[Device Reviews and Information] scotsguy2010:
I've factory reset and updated to the October firmware.

At the moment I'm delighted with the device. Roughly 2 days battery life with my normal use, pretty swift and a good screen. I don't have the fingerprint recognition turned on, and I have WiFi always on. I'm using the Nokia Z launcher to get away from the pre-installed adware.

In the last week I had one unexpected reboot; but then again I've had that with a Samsung too.

I'm very impressed for the price. I did use Watchdog Lite to track down one app that was hogging battery. Since removing it I've had no further problems.
[Device Reviews and Information] rukud:
how much battery do you lose overnight?
[Device Reviews and Information] scotsguy2010:
I charge overnight so I don't have info on that. With modest use over the last 8 hours (some text messages, around an hour of podcast listening, 10 minutes of a game) I've lost 10%.

For rooted user, install greenpower and configure it ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] rodryguez:
Without greenpower, just by turning off the fingerprint + using the CM Launcher instead of the stock one + Greenify : I now reach 74 hours !!

As a memo Here is my humble simple tutorial :

1) do a factory reset and install latest update 20151012 by OTA

2) Root with TWRP 2.8.7.0 (the one with just recovery.img)

3) Wipe Cache partition with TWRP (very important step)

4) Make the cycle of battery calibration 3 times : wait till battery = 0, charge with phone turned off

5) Turn off notifications of most apps in menu settings

6) AAL off in enginery mode

7) Turn off fingerprint

8) Put luminosity to the lowest level

9) Do not use Livewallpapers, instead download "Black Background" free app

10) Install Greenify free app

11) uninstall Google's Hangout if ever, Firefox if ever

12) change the stock launcher to CM Launcher (haven't tried Nokia Z yet, but CM Launcher has a black iOS iPhone6 theme that looks great)
[Device Reviews and Information] Tadukli:
I tried both ways.

In phone settings throught parameters .

step 1 is ok (without object)

but step 2 (with my finger in front of the sensor)

I have error message : Calibration fail ( Error to get a valid , please obtain a valid value again)

[Device Reviews and Information] nickzeptepi:
My impressions after about 2 months of use.

Overall I like the phone, a little heavy in comparison to my old galaxy s4 but I like the bigger screen, I'm doing more stuff on it.

I've had a couple of battery issue, v slow charges, and the need to recalibrate then, I've got 2 batteries in case I need a 2nd after heavy use while out & about.

I wonder if swapping the batteries causes the need for recalibration? But otherwise battery life can be very good if not heavily using it.

My main issue is the crappy WiFi, it regularly drops a connection, takes a few mins to refresh and see it in the list again, and then might not auto reconnect. Also it doesn't pick up as many signals as the s4.

I've rooted it and updated to latest firmware updates when available.

I was wondering if a custom rom might solve the wifi and improve the camera?
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
You can try the new crystal rom 3 from needrom.com. They say it works 99% except the front flash.
[Device Reviews and Information] wallahboy:
I activated "Keep WiFi activated in standby mode" (I translated from German so might be called little different on English device) under Options --> WiFi --> Advanced. Seemd to have solved the WiFi-Dropping for me. Have you tried this?

For camera I use "A better camera unlocked" and I am generally satisfied with quality. I haven't tested the original camera much, though... maybe difference is not that big and I am just easier satisfied. :)

Ulefon be touch 2 do not charging. Who can help?
[Device Reviews and Information] tareumlaneuchie:
Is the adapter detected when plugged in?

Is it talking too long too charge?

Do you see the power consumption curve (press on the battery icon in the notification center) going upwards when charging?

Check your cable, the AC adapter (I would say you need at least 1 A output current, so old iPhone adapters may not be suitable) and if this inconclusive, change the battery, especially if it was charged with an unsuitable adapter.
[Device Reviews and Information] wallahboy:
I have quite some dust behind camera lense by now... :(
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
After almost one month of use I don't have any problem with my phone. The only issue is that the cable of the charger is poor material made cable and is not charging fast anymore as it did the last 3 weeks. I changed the cable and is charging again in about an hour.
[Device Reviews and Information] Elusivo:
I like that crystalrom3 changed the microsd's path to sdcard1, but i still have freezing incoming calls problem :/ wasn't that one of the things said to be fixed in the rom?
[Device Reviews and Information] Tertsi:
Got my bt2 Back from Tinydeal warranty repair on monday after 9 weeks. Updated it immediately to latest rom via OTA. Did the battery calibration cycles. Apparently the phones frame and screen is the same.... Dunno if they have changed the mobo. Yesterday it hanged once when in sleep mode and just a while ago the battery went in 30min sleep mode from 70% to 15%. Phone was charged in the last evening. Something fishy definately still going on here.

Originally I had to sent it to repair bcause it hanged 1-3 times a day when screen off and after 2 weeks it did not start anymore. Have to test it some more and then maybe root.
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
Try crustal rom 3. Maybe it fixes your problems.
[Device Reviews and Information] anonymous1:
On the stock Ulefone ROM, is there a way to have the internal memory as the default storage path?

If I put an SD card in, then another 'android' folder is created on the SD card and it appears that the SD card is the default storage (even if this is changed in the storage settings).

A problem if the SD card is removed with some apps not working as the settings in the 'android' folder stored on the SD card is not there.

What I'd like is to only store media (mp3, video and photo files on the SD card) which can be moved from device to device as needed, but can't do this because of above problem?

Does anyone know of a solution, an easy one if possible?! :)

Thanks

They are promoting BT3 now :rolleyes:
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
Why not? They had a success with bt2.... It will be exactly the same except the new processor and the smaller battery (2550mah). I don't see any reason to buy it as I am very satisfied with bt2.
[Device Reviews and Information] anonymous1:
From Fernando Rodriguez's post on the Ulefone Google+ page, 2015.11.05:

Explains a lot. Probably the last time I get a device with MTK chipset, unless something amazing comes along that performs well. The device design is nice, but the software needs to be as good as the hardware which was the failing with the BT2.

The BT3 may fair better with 5.1.1 as long as this isn't a lie, but the smaller battery worries me (but then again, it could be the battery we all have in the BT2 if you look at how long it lasts for some!). It seems unlikely that the BT3 would then get Marshmallow bearing in mind what's been going on with the BT2 and MTK. Would hope that Ulefone and other Chinese manufacturers would put pressure on MTK to be more developer friendly, but an unlikely hope.
[Device Reviews and Information] challenger78:
To be honest this is a pathetic excuse. And totally unacceptable as a way to treat paying customers.

Personally, I know that for sure I will never buy *any* Media Tek phone again. I'd rather pay a little more for a different processor with full support and software upgrades, not good getting a phone with sub par performance due to bad software, that won't get future updates either.

Goes without saying that I won't be getting a Ulefone phone even if it costs 1 dollar, simply because the company are liars. I am sure they knew they aren't getting sources from MT, yet they kept selling BT2 to unsuspecting customers.... Now BT2 is only good for the bin.
[Device Reviews and Information] Andy4Shurr:
I agree with this sentiment completely, promising things they have no intention of delivering. It is totally unacceptable as a business model and it's the last MediaTek or Ulefone device I will also own. I can't get my BT2 to deep sleep at the moment, battery is going crazy and yesterday it dropped 40% in a matter of seconds :/

I have ordered an Honor 7 so I'm just counting down the days for that now. Huawei don't release kernel source either but they do use the in-house kirin chip so they can control updates themselves and it will be getting marshmallow within a couple of months, albeit a highly skinned version.

Bluetooth Issue

Hi, I'm running CrystalRom v3 but have had the same Bluetooth issue with all roms since receiving the phone.

I have Sony Smartwatch 3 and pair it with the BT2, all is fine until the watch disconnects (restart or something like that) After that it just doesn't connect to the watch at all. The only way to get it to reconnect is to restore the watch to factory settings and re-pair.

I also have another problem where it doesn't remember the decision to allow access to phone book when reconnecting to car Bluetooth.

Has anyone come up against similar issues ? I've searched through the thread but can't find an answer to the issue I am having.

I don't really have any problems with my G Watch R. Sometimes it stays with the "connecting" message on my phone but I simply choose to deselct from the AndroidWear app, turn Bluetooth off for 30 seconds or so, then on again and it pairs ok. It's not often that I have to do that though!

I have the same Bluetooth issue with a Pebble Steel and my Parrot car kit behaving very erratically. Is there any chance of a fix? Other than this my BT2 has performed perfectly as my daily driver since August.
[Device Reviews and Information] challenger78:
Guys, is the back light of the buttons at the bottom working for you?

About the Bluetooth and battery problems, most likely due to older android and kernel running on this phone, missing several bug fixes. My current SoT is just 2h 13m, with brightness set to minimum, no sim card, and amplify plus greenify running... Pathetic...

Oh, and if android 6 is coming to 6752 like that page posted above is true, this makes ulefone even bigger clowns than they already are... A couple of days ago they said no updates to BT2 due to media tek not releasing drivers code....

Crystalrom just worsened my shutting down/hanging problem when in sleepmode. Now testing Elephone ported rom. I'm getting the feeling that propably those dumasses did not change any hardware to my phone when it was 9 weeks China road trip for factory repair. This piece of **** and the crappy service from the factory is getting close to be my worst headache ever and i have had really bad migranes!

How can i flash back the factory rom and recovery.img so that there is not left any custom residue? Can i just flash the factory rom normally with sptools? ...or do i have to do some special preparations?
