My opinion from BRAZIL

Hi guys, I kind follow this forum for quite sometime now and I bought the ulefone be touch 2 with same discount and I have something share..

I faced the issue with battery burning very fast, the slow UI, overheating and of course the white spot, just 1 but still.

I managed to overcame all the problems, now I have almost 4 hours on screen, I am a moderate user, but I hate smart phone games, so can`t really say anything about it.

Pros after everything:

Camera is very good

battery life is also good

very fast phone

fingerprint working almost everytime

GPS is ok

size is ok

volume is ok

I am happy with the device and I hope to last 1 year, in brazil a moto g3 costs almost 300 bucks, a iphone 6s plus is 1200 bucks, I can buy a car with the price of an iphone. Would I buy this phone again? Nope, I don`t need all the specs and 5.5` is a little big for me, for my first phone purchase outside my country and I AM REALLY HAPPY!

But next time, I will buy only known brands like xiaomi, meizu, asus, lenovo and others, actually I bought meizu m2 mini to change my spare motorola g1 spare phone.

For me I can`t really ask much, I paid less than a motorola g3 and I have something way better.

Just use spflashtools and everything will be deleted. You are gonna have a pure original rom with no custom traces.

Android noob :)

Hi Guys, as this is my first forum post, let me start by saying thanks to you all for your hard work and input on the BT2.

I'm new to this phone and android in general and so far i'm fairly happy with it (apart from the battery but will try and resolve that the more i get my head around it)

Just a few of questions if you dont mind....

How do i check the GPS status?? do i need an app???

how do i turn off fingerprint scanner?? is it just a matter of deleting registered fingerprints??

Also, all i have done since i have got the phone is install a couple of apps and done 2 wifi updates.... does this phone come rooted as standard as when i have tried to install SKYGO app it says it is not available on a rooted device, well i havnt rooted the device as at the min i dont know how to root it lol

Thanks in advance Dave.... Here's a screenshot of my device details......

OK so no screenshots as i dont have enough posts lol

here's the info:

To turn off fingerprint scanner just go into settings/fingerprint scanner/screen lock, enter your alternative password and then select what screen lock you want.

Not sure what you mean when you say GPS status?

Skygo thinks this phone is rooted and afaik there is no workaround for this :(

HTH
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
About GPS you need an app to use it. The best out there are SYGIC and Navigon. If you want to see the status of your GPS you need an app called GPS TEST and is free on the play store. Close your wifi connection and disable the internet data also. Enable the gps antenna and go somewhere open so the phone can see the sky. Now open the gps test. You''ll see some lines to go up and down. When these lines stop moving and you see agreen dot it means that you are connected to the satelite. The same way working and the other navigator applications. Just remember that the first time maybe it will take even 5 minutes to lock a satelite. So don't get upset. I believe your device is not rooted. But to be sure download an app from play store called root checker. From your stats i see that you full updated. So you are ok. About the SkyGo app i don't know what is exactly but check if you are rooted with the root checker app i told you before. Maybe it is a bug of Sky Go.

Elephone P7000 portted rom and the phone still hangs. It must be the hardware. Well second trip to China and hopefully they will now change some wery expensive circuitry there. :mad:
[Device Reviews and Information] Dekay99:
Hi there, could anyone confirm my theory on sudden system freeze and hang on ringtone (incoming call).

I think it is due to having external SD as the primary disk, where android writes to.

I will test it by making the internal memory promary

.

But it would be nice to know if people who do not use SD card, are having any random system freeze or hang on ringtone?
[Device Reviews and Information] -fluffy-:
Try open this

Engenier go to hardware scroll down to AAL an disable it restart ur phone
[Device Reviews and Information] Andy4Shurr:
It's the Sky Go app pal, it doesn't play nice with Chinese phones. In fact, they only seem to work with mainstream devices. I can't get Sky Sports Mobile TV to work either because they only support a limited number of handsets... Absolutely awful customer support with their android apps.
[Device Reviews and Information] Moolok:
I have 64GB external SD as primary disk and since August I have had zero hangs/freezes with incoming calls. In fact I have had no problems whatsoever with calls. Except proximity sensor which does not always wake up the screen when I remove phone from ear.
[Device Reviews and Information] Elusivo:
I haven't even spoken with the shop about returning mine, did they charge anything for the repair?

Now with crystalrom3 it seems I do have less freezing calls, and it kinda seems to me that it hangs less on calls from numbers that are not saved in my contacts list. Also, it seems it never hangs if I receive call while using the phone (screen on), I'm guessing it's a wake-up problem, probably the same that makes the phone reboot sometimes when trying to turn on the screen for normal use. Would be nice if somebody with enough time in their hands were to check some logcats and see where it hangs.

Anyway, to me it looks like there was a batch of phones with this problem from the factory and the ppl without any hangs probly got their phone from different batches.

Hi,

I have purchase from Deal Home an UleFone Be Touch 2, received on 04 september and I am very satisfied.

No problem with battery, screen or anyting else. But two days ago, my rear camera stop working,

when I open camera app it opens front camera upside down and I can not swich to rear camera.

Also the camera app is missing from the apps manager, but it is in the app drower.

The phone is not rooted, and it is on original room. I try with facttory reset and it is the same.

Some app for testing, like antutu or droid info, recognize only main camera 13.2 Mpx,

which is strange, because actually only secondary (front) 5.0 Mpx camera works.

Please help me.

Thank You.
[Device Reviews and Information] Redless:
I AM using SD as main disk and I don't have this problems using crystalrom v2. With normal ROM I had this problem now and then.
[Device Reviews and Information] Poped:
I had (have) the same issue. Ive found a post somewhere other ppl having this issue. It seems its the camera-chip that snatch out from its bracket inside the phone. Have to tear it apart and push it in again. I tried but i managed to rip-off the power-cables in the process and had to order spare-part. Got the part yesterday and will try once more. Find youtube video on a teardown off u bt2. Be VERY carefull when pulling cables from their places. Specificly the one to power/volume-buttons. They are like paper and its easy to pull em apart!

CAN TELL THAT IT WORKED FOR ME! IT FIXED THE CAMERA ISSUE!

Reporting on small research on 'hang on ring' issue.

I have made phone memory primary - but left external SD inside -> this did not solve the issue.

I have removed the external memory and thereby my personal Mp3 ringtone (whic was on externals SD) has been swicthed to default ringtone -> called myself 10 times.. nog hang on ring... i will leave this setting for a while to see if one of those 3 changes (removing external sd or having ringtone on external sd or having an mp3 song as ringtone on any memory) are solution to the issue:

Will be continued :) The truth wille be found ;}
[Device Reviews and Information] Andy4Shurr:
FYI - I have an SD and have it set as primary storage, however, I haven't changed the default ringtone as my phone is always on vibrate only and never on loud. I never experience any freezes or crashes when receiving calls.

But as I mention before, I did open the phone and reattach the camera in the slot

and the situation is same. ANY IDEA, guys.

I have contact the seller, and they suggest to flash the phone with the official tool on UlePhone page.

Its a software issue flash org rom fore ur phone an it shut work again

Thanks Fluffy

Thanks fluffy,

But what is org rom and how should I flash it ?

I don't know the procedure.

Can You explain to me.

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] Tertsi:
I have tried the AAL off trick for 2 weeks, but no difference for this hang problem. Slicker GUI though...

Phone has 2 years factory warranty and also the sellers warranty which is primary. If the seller doesnt assume warranty responsibilities you can deal straight with the Ulefone support. "Repair" didn cost anything, just shipping costs to China.

Follow the instructions!

P7000 ported rom seems least power hungry and quite nice in other respects. Speaker volume bug is a little irritating, because after boot it resets to zero. Always have to set it back to 160 with MTK-tools. Wouldn´t be so bad if the damn thing had better uptime than a newborn baby.

Hi everyone!

I can say BT2 is "okay" as a phone. I wouldn't suggest it to any hardcore user but still it is fine.

I'm just having some problems with some apps and I wish someone could help me.

First, The awesome Snapchat! Main camera is horrible when I take video, photos are fine, but videos aren't. There is some kind of wicked glow in the videos and also pink/green stripe in the right side of the video. Totally unusable. Also the Snapchat thinks that Ulefone has on-screen buttons instead of physical because there is black box on the bottom of the screen. This box also makes the screen's aspect ratio look wrong. I can't attach images because I'm new user on the forums...

I'm also participating in the Snapchat beta, but no fixes yet. I think the problem is that the phone actually is 5.0 android and not 5.1. What do you think?

Also unable to record videos in the Facebook Messenger as it says there is some older video still being sent. I've tried reinstalling both apps but still these errors occur.

Would be nice if someone could test Snapchat and tell how it works for you! I haven't rooted or factory reset my phone yet.

Thanks!

Twice hang on ring today

Removing sd card and changing ringtone to default did not solve the issue...of "hang on ringtone".

Does anyone have other solutions I could try?

Maybe it is an app I installed? It's worth a try to remove all apps and see if error is gone...
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
Look mate. I have the same phone and I don't have this problem. Something is really wrong to cause this bug.

1)Did you try to install again the official rom via flashtool and selecting the format option?

2) I am root and I delete all the original ringtones and I insert mine's. It works really good. Maybe you should try this?

3) If you install a custom rom, you face the same problem again?

4) Just to know is 100% a software bug as I was having the same problem in my previous thl t100s phone and then I installed a Russian custom rom and my phone for a year never close again. So is definitely a software bug.

I have found on the net a Russian real 5.1 lolipop for our phone. I haven't tested it but for you I think you got to give it a try. I don't know if the moderators can let me post a link. If so can someone moderator confirm it?
[Device Reviews and Information] Tertsi:
Did the SPTOOLs flash to original rom as instructed (twrp and p7000 ported was underneath) and now the phone dont start. Not even Ulefone logo. Help anyone?

Edit: Forget about it... it seems that Ulefone didn´t include all the neccessary files to 15.10.2015 rom. Flashed back to 2.7.2015 rom and vóila.. back in business.

Had the first ringtone hang yesterday.

P7000 Ported rom had some problems with bluetooth... didn´t recongnize all the equipment and the sound was stuttering.

Edit 2: Tried sptoolsflash the last rom again and no go. Ulefone site downloadable rom is a dud?

touchscreen not responding

Hi,

I'm also using UTB2 for a while. The current version is Ulefone-be touch 2_20151012 and I never rooted the phone.

Since last week I'm facing the following issue: there is an unresponsive row on the superior area of the screen, from the right edge to the left one. For a better understanding of the "damaged" position, just go in Settings/About phone/Wireless update. In portrait mode, I am not able to access "Wireless update" anymore, so I have to rotate phone into landscape mode. (There is nothing wrong with the "Wireless update" feature, it's only to indicate the position. The issue occurs whenever I have to touch a command on the above mentioned area).

I performed a factory reset but I keep having the same issue. I'm using a 64gb card on it - if this can help. The screen doesn't have any physical damage marks on it and it used to work fine until a few days back.

Please let me know what could have caused the issue and how could it be resolved.

Make a screen calibrate
[Device Reviews and Information] emanuelsj:
touchscreen not responding

I installed Touchscreen Calibration from RedApi and I got a Pass for all six steps, still I have no response from the screen when touching the "unresponsive" area. Is there any other way to calibrate the display? Could this be a bug affecting the screen?
[Device Reviews and Information] Mabbis:
Sounds like "dead stripe" to me. Probably hardware issue as these BT2 screens are what they are, but those issues happen in more expensive phones as well... Good luck with the calibrations, hopefully you manage to fix it (if it is software issue)!
[Device Reviews and Information] emanuelsj:
Is there anything that generates this "dead strip" issue? In the past I had a Samsung Nexus S and the issue occurred after 4 years of normal usage. Maybe I'm doing something that I shouldn't?
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
Unfortunately this is a hardware problem and you better send back the phone so they can fix it for you. No calibrations will fix this. Sorry mate.
[Device Reviews and Information] emanuelsj:
Sending it back to China from Europe should cost like a new one. I guess I will stick with this one for a while, then I'll see. Thank you all for your support! :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Izzy1665:
My daughter shattered her AT&T S3 I-747 screen and local place wants $150 to replace digitizer and glass (nobody local replaces just glass) but someone local has a Verizon S3 I-535 with a bad charging port they want to sell for $40. I know there are often some differences in the different models but cannot find anything online about anyone switching out this particular combo. Does anyone know if I can put the I-747 board into the I-535 frame?

Hi, I have xiaomi Mi Band 10 months and i´m looking for new wristband, working and cheap.

I decided to buy cheap wristband with OLED display, 7 days long working time and clever idea for charging.

Here is my unboxing and review....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa-oeHvBSzA

[YOUTUBE]pa-oeHvBSzA[/YOUTUBE]
[General Accessories] vEEGAZ:
Thanks for the review, it's actually the first and only one I found in the whole web.

I got a question to ask though, what brand is it? It was mainly hard for me to find a review of this product also because it has no brand name but just a generic "i5 plus".
[General Accessories] dukynko:
Hi, I think it's really only one review on the web - this.

Here I found a similar wristband, this one has a button, mine not. But manufacturer is probably the same, either app in her phone is zeroner too.

https://youtu.be/ykQUPBS3fSc
[General Accessories] vEEGAZ:
I found that video too but the brand name leads me to nowhere. However after further research I found out that the brand behind all these "i5" watches is "Iwown". Can you confirm me that (maybe by checking out your product box)? Thanks.
[General Accessories] dukynko:
Hi, there is no manufacturer on the box, no brand name, only "smart bracelet".
[General Accessories] Ayroth:
Hi matey,

Does it display the contact name when someone is calling you in real time ?
[General Accessories] dukynko:
Yes, but in my case it show only first 6-7 letters, no full name.
[General Accessories] Ayroth:
I'm gonna buy one, but have few more questions, how long does the battery last ? And how is the visibility in outdoor ?
[General Accessories] dukynko:
5 days (5-7 days are declared), then I plug it to my USB 3port on notebook. After 25 minutes it was fully charged.

Visibility in outdoor is good, but strong direct sun could be problem - I can see time, but sometimes I need make shade by hand.
[General Accessories] Ayroth:
Thanks man for your feedback
[General Accessories] vEEGAZ:
Alright, thanks. And last question, does it allow to skip tracks or not?
[General Accessories] dukynko:
there´s no control for music player :(
[General Accessories] vEEGAZ:
Ok, thanks anyway.

I found another video on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX-RjWVrCvo

It's the same as yours but it has Iwown logo on the back, maybe yours is a replica of the replica of the Vidonn X5? Lol.
[General Accessories] dukynko:
haha, it´s the same wristband :)

lwown has logo, but if you click to link under the video "where to buy", you will be redirect to the same page like "my" wristaband, gearbest - there is my text review too :) either app zeroner is the same.

vidonn 5 is similar wristband, but has a button and app is different.

here is review for vidonn x5 http://xdaforums.com/general/accessories/review-vidonn-x5-smart-activity-tracker-t2814725

i dont like it, it lasts only 4 days and for time you must touch button, no gesture control...so i prefer cheaper "lwown" wristband
[General Accessories] vEEGAZ:
Good one, I didn't notice that it redirects to the same page.

I don't get, though, why one has logo and the other doesn't, but either way I trust in what you said and decided to order some, let's hope they will arrive soon and safe!
[General Accessories] dukynko:
I hope that you will be satisfied, on the gearbest page were added other positive review.
[General Accessories] dukynko:
here is another review

this guy use screenshot of my video for thumbnail - i don´t think he actually have that wristband, no own pictures :(
