need rom for my ulefone be touch 2

Hello,

I am new to this forum. I have a be touch 2 since June and in general lines i am happy with it despite the small glitches. Is there any other Rom accept the official one that could improve the battery life and performance. If yes where can i download it and how can I root it to my mobile.

Thanks...

Turn off fingerprint scanner. I realized that without it my battery can lasts 200% longer.

Big problem with damaged system

Hi guys, I have really serious problem. My phone reset to factory defaults in my pocket (for some reason) and then it started to act strangely. Every single app stopped working (android.process.media has stopped working, google play has stopped working etc) So I wiped cache partition, perform factory reset and again. Phone was useles and freezes after seconds. Now I can´t even boot and all I can do is go to android recovery menu (and second chinese menu), nothing else. Phone won´t boot after another factory reset. What options do I have now?
[Device Reviews and Information] Mabbis:
It has been disabled for months. My battery seems to be physically broken at the moment. I'll order a new one and hope someone wants to buy this BT2 for some €€€€€ :)
[Device Reviews and Information] rodryguez:
Ulefone firmware is pure sh*t.

Ulefone developers are pathetic.

Their selling strategies are stinky.

Everything has FAKE specifications with them. Stick the phone next to a S6 and you will see that the screen is not a Gorilla 2.5D at all, just a curved glass !!! Once your screen is cracked, compare it to any phone with GENUINE gorilla glass III screen and you will see that the ulefone is not even close to be as tough... yet another lie about the product.

enough said

What do you want for this low price?

A perfect phone?
[Device Reviews and Information] rodryguez:
va voir du côté de Xiaomi Thierry. For a lower price you get almost perfect phones with Xiaomi (Helio X10 processor, perfect battery, ultra-regular updated firmwares, no stagefright, no lags, infrared, perfect look for as low as.... 113€ for the redmi note 2 TD upgraded to LTE on aliexpress hongkong goldway!!!!)

Here are my problems and opinions about ulefone be touch 2 after 2.5 months of usage.

Pros :

- cheap for the performance

- fingerprint sensor ok

- gaming performance ok

Cons and problems :

- if the fingerprint unlock is on i can't see any notification in lock screen so i have to unlock the phone every time i want to see if i have a new notification and if i have pin unlock it's laggy. annoying

- notification bar and lockscreen becomes very laggy after some time even if i restart the phone. Menu and swipe between screens runs perfect but notification bar and lockscreen are very very laggy.

- my camera focus almost never works. sometimes it is working perfectly but most of the time can't focus at all. Most of the time i cannot use the camera and this is the first annoying thing about this phone. i have tried to clear the cache but the problem persists.

- the battery is the second and the most annoying thing about my phone. I can't reach a full day of using my phone. Not even from 8.00 to 18.00. If i use the phone intensively the battery is dead by 14.00. Some app is keeping my phone awake in sleep mode and it drains a lot of battery. Sometimes my battery just drops very very fast. Other time, using the original charger and cable my battery was discharging when plugged to charger. ( see screenshots ) for details ..

See the screenshots for more info : goo.gl/photos/G67ynWYYe1iFaGQo8

How do you think i should solve my problems ? About focus, battery and lag ?

I will flash the original rom then maybe root but in the meanwhile ?

Change another phone. No use flashing other ROMS. I gave up Long ago. Did not see any new rom from ULEFONE after 4 months switching. Recently took it out for gaming usage but it failed so miserably (lagging and at times unresponsive).
[Device Reviews and Information] Mabbis:
Imprezawrxhatch is correct. Burn the Ulefone. Smash it on the ground and stomp on it. And then recycle it. Or just recycle it first and ignore the destroying. Then enjoy the moment and get a new phone and enjoy even more. No more worrying about Ulefone.

P.s. I'll get my LG G4 today :)
[Device Reviews and Information] ceinro:
Unfortunately i am stuck with this phone for a while so i have to make the best out of it. Anyone experienced battery problems like mine ( see the album i posted one day ago ) or camera focus issues ? Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] Mabbis:
Well I did install crystalrom and also the camerafix from some Elephone port. Camera didn't get any better. On low light the camera has problems focusing but shouldn't be that slow as you said in normal lighting. Maybe the Crystalrom made this more stable, but battery issues are still there. Hopefully you manage to fix it, good luck! I don't want to disable anything to get better SoT because I want and need everything I'm currently using...

Have you tried to disable fingerprint scanner? I think it helped a bit with battery consumption. That was something I disabled because it wasn't that important after all.
[Device Reviews and Information] ceinro:
Camera focus doesn't work at all sometimes, it can't focus at all, even with bright light conditions.

I disabled fingerprint sensor but i found that useful because lockscreen is laggy ... but with fingerprint unlock i can't see any notification on lockscreen. ...

I will flash the original rom and see afterwards...
[Device Reviews and Information] nickzeptepi:
Crystal rom is working OK for me, I did have battery issues but the previous advice to remove and charge to full while switched off then do it again did the trick, I've got 2 batteries both are OK.

Camera sometimes doesn't focus or take pictures but its rare and u wonder if it's because I'm done tapping or something. One camera issue I do have is the flash is out of sync with the shutter.

Redmi note 2 on order.

This ulefone is OK I've been praised on the quality of most pictures thanks to snapspeed I think, but I won't buy the brand again

If you are interested you can try the new custom roms.

CyanogenMod 12.1 and flyme. Check needrom....
[Device Reviews and Information] thierry77c:
For the camera i use better camera. All is good.
[Device Reviews and Information] rodryguez:
Anyhow, the best 2 ROMs on needrom for be touch 2 are MIUI 7 PRO and MIUI7 – ver.6.1.21
[Device Reviews and Information] thierry77c:

It's been just a month with betouch 2 in my hands and it started acting strange :( when I touch App Icons, apps not always open, sometimes they open by themselves. Also they move around on the screen by themselves. Back button not always works, fingerprint isn't always unlocking the phone, battery can't hold for a full day without additional charging :( factory setting reset as suggested by ulefone help center didn't help. They also suggested to flash the rom but how can it help if I have the same rom on my phone already?

What other phone would you recommend instead of the betouch 2? smaller preferably up to 5 inch, I didn't like the size of BT2
[Device Reviews and Information] Ormbett:

Hi, I thank you I solve for one phone. Unfortunately I have two both with camera problem.

[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
Please don't messing up forum. We are talking about ulefone be touch 2 here.
[Device Reviews and Information] Kieras:
So back to my problems, do you think that flashing ROM will help restore my touch screen so that it will start acting like it should?
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
Obviously... You must try flashing again the original ROM from ulefone's site. Otherwise you can try a custom ROM. There are plenty now on needrom. Some new also from the last week. You can try.
[Device Reviews and Information] imprezawrxhatch:
Hi, try flashing the original then choose CM12.1 custom rom. You will feel the difference. At least my antutu score went back to 47k and gaming is so much better. [emoji51] This CM12.1 rom only have some minor issues and can be considered a daily driver
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
Yes mate but the battery life??? Has any improvement?
[Device Reviews and Information] gibs:
This is the worst phone I never had. If you are still hoping something from ulefone then...Hope is what make us live ;)

[MENTION=7211732]gringo_vip[/MENTION] looks good.

Edit: after testing for another day, the battery drain remains the same. Think it's still better to get another brand: maybe Xiao Mi5 will be much better and future proof.
[Device Reviews and Information] pamken:
Regarding the battery life/drain I too had a major problem with it until I fully charged it then used battery calibrate (found on google play store) then I fully recharged and discharged the battery 3 times completely , turned off location, fingerprint and gesture and I get through the day no problem with normal use, generally I won't be getting a Ulefone again however due to the "fake" android 5.1 and the "bright spot" I noticed on the bottom right of the screen, other than that the phone is ok but nothing special.

[Device Reviews and Information] jackkuyt:

Any suggestions for a new battery?

My existing battery recently started dying after just 4 hours (used to get up to 48). The rest of the phone is fine, but great but ok. Was looking to just replace the battery
[Device Reviews and Information] imprezawrxhatch:
Not sure if the new battery will last though. Mine calibrated a few times with the apps and still deplete very fast. Maybe saving the money and spending it on a new phone might be better [emoji51]
[Device Reviews and Information] Moolok:
I have had Be Touch 2 now since last August. Nothing major problems. Only few minor annoyances. For slightly unresponsive screen can't do anything since it's hardware related: digitizer isn't as good as it should be. Battery life improved since I disabled fingerprint sensor.

I'm on latest stock ROM. Now I'm thinking about custom ROM since it's doubtful Ulefone will release new updates.

Which is best custom ROM with working home button? Working fingerprint sensor is not needed but home button is necessary.
[Device Reviews and Information] imprezawrxhatch:
[MENTION=5401812]Moolok[/MENTION] CM12.1 is the best but my battery have issues even after calibration
[Device Reviews and Information] Moolok:
Do you use the ROM from needrom.com? The latest one posted there 03/07/2016? Any bugs? What does this mean in bug list "2G on second SIM"? Just 2G on second SIM slot?
[Device Reviews and Information] imprezawrxhatch:
Yah, used that one in needrom. It means SIM 2 can only have 2G. Even if you select LTE, it will remains at 2G. So only SIM 1 works which is not an issue for me as I have only one SIM card. It actually boast the performance but I still encounter the scroll lag issue. Just not as smooth as iphone in general. As for bugs, not much of an issue. Home button is useable but fingerprint is not working.

I've read in another thread that the BeTouch2 has 2Gb of RAM plus 1Gb of virtual RAM (2+1=3Gb). Can someone verify that? And what is virtual RAM?

I probably can't place links to the other thread here, but ask me if you want and I'll send through pm.
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
First time i'm hearing this.My be touch 2 is super fast.
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
Lately my phone is not charging fast. Usually was taking one hour to charge 100%. Now it takes about 3 hours. I noticed that if i move a bit the wire from phone's side it loses the connection very easily. The wire is ok as i tested on other phones. The problem is that if i change wire it does the same again. So probably i have an issue inside the usb port of the phone. Any idea how to fix it? I checked some videos on youtube about cleaning the port but mine is ''ultra'' clean without dust. Anyone else having the same problem and found any solution???
[Device Reviews and Information] ghiurtuv:
Yes,i had this problem too,i wasn`t able to even copy something from my pc to the phone because of that intreruption. I solved the problem selling my BT2.Redmi note 2 is way better than this :(

I am not thinking of selling my phone. is working great and beyond this problem i don't have any other. I'll keep it till it dies.

I think you could contact the place where you purchased it and ask them for a replacement
[Device Reviews and Information] dtether:
My Be Touch 2 works but with various flaws. One that I think I have just solved - and wanted to share.

When making a phone call, and taking the phone away from my ear to terminate the call (or to turn on keypad to enter touch tones for an auto answer system) I usually got a blank screen.

I hadn't realised that there's a proximity sensor that SHOULD have detected the move away from my ear and turned the screen back on again.

I found a Be Touch 2 thread that mentioned the topic on the Gadget Victims website (sorry I'm not able to provide the link)

although the Be Touch 2 20151012 firmware differs a bit. Anyway following their idea...

1) use the dialer to enter the code: *#*#3646633#*#*

2) Swipe left two menus to HARDWARE TESTING

3) Drag up to SENSOR

4) Then LIGHT/PROXIMITY SENSOR

5) Then PS Calibration

6) Then Calibration

Should see quite a complex screen. I made sense of it thus:

- at top left see PS: # which varies as the sensor detects something nearby - the sensor appears to be just to right of the ear speaker

- then both Hi/Lo thresholds on mine were at 70

- Min value area showing 6

- Max value area also showing 6

- Tap CALC MIN VALUE when following instructions - my min stays at 6

- Then put a finger/object over sensor area and tap CALC MAX VALUE - my max went to 255

- Then tapped DO CALIBRATION while I moved finger to fro over sensor until I got PASS displayed rather than FAIL underneath the text/buttons (ie I repeated these Min/Max/Do until got PASS)

Backed out of the menu system and since then as I put phone to/fro ear while calling/dialing my Be Touch 2 display goes off/on as I would like.

Don't know if this will survive a power off.

Don't know why the min/max don't seem to make sense as they stay at 6 at top left of screen.

Anyway I offer this in case it helps anyone else - and await comments if I have got hold of the wrong end of the stick :)

AVG started flagging this from today on my wife's Ulefone BT2, stock ROM. Is this anything I should be concerned about?
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
Probably she has some threads. I'll try to scan my be touch 2 also with avg and I'll inform you if it finds the same threads. If not you will have to let avg delete these threads.

Hi

I'm one of the few people that have been generally happy with my BT2 but recently I am getting serious issues with the battery life. If I just use the phone for calls and texts it seems to last fine but as soon as I do anything online it loses battery rapidly until it gets down to around 80-85% and then the phone crashes and won't restart until I plug a charger in. Within minutes the battery life is up to 60-70% and within an hour it's back up to 100%.

Has anyone experienced this and found a way of curing it. I'm currently unrooted and running the second update, no other issues apart from this although the battery life got worse after the second OTA update.

Any assistance greatly appreciated! :)
[Device Reviews and Information] tareumlaneuchie:
I used to have this problem with an older firmware... Are your running on the latest October firmware?
[Device Reviews and Information] Moolok:
Have you done battery calibration? It really helped me with my BT2. Instructions should be in this thread or you can Google it. I did calibration for my wife's Huawei P8 Lite almost right out of the box when battery life was abysmal. Calibration fixed that too.
[Device Reviews and Information] handful17:
Hi. Yes, I'm running on the October firmware, only had problems in the last couple of weeks though. I have ordered a new battery in case it's that but not confident that it is. I think I may have to root and clear the battery stats or something? Thanks for the suggestion though!

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

Yes I've calibrated it a few times. When I do that though I charge it unplugged to 100%, remove the charger and turn on the phone and leave it unused for 30 minutes but when I plug the charger back in for 30 minutes it just says that it's still 100% charged and doesn't take any more charge. Is this normal, feels like I'm wasting my time and it doesn't seem to make much difference

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
To make a good calibration remove the sim card so you let the phone charge and discharge without interactions. It did the same to me and after calibration everything is working fine again.
[Device Reviews and Information] handful17:
Thanks soulfunkdjx, I will give that a try this weekend, hopefully that will sort it. It does feel like it's a software issue rather than battery failure. I will report back either way for the benefit of others!

Rom Porting

Hi , I have just ported Rublix V7 rom from p7000 to be touch 2. But this is my first port so I have some bugs that I don't know how to repair. Phone can boot up and after "updating android and apps" I have just com. android.phone has stopped worknig, application phone has topped working and also com.android media has stopped working. I made this port from Rublix V1 port for be touch 2 to Rublix V7 for elephone P7000. Please can You help me? Basic rom of ulefone be touch 2 is really bad but I love fingerprint scanner (i know that is not the best for phone but i love this) Thanks for any help :)
[Device Reviews and Information] handful17:
It didn't work, unless I misunderstood what you meant? I charged with phone off until charged, turned phone on for 30 minutes with everything removed and wifi location etc turned off and left on for 30 minutes. Then charged it again for 30 minutes whilst on.

Did you mean I should let it discharge completely after charging, with sim card removed?

thanks!
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
Yes. You should let the phone discharge 100% also. Why did you started charging again after 30 minutes? I never told you that.
[Device Reviews and Information] handful17:
No I know you didn't, I was following the instructions from here https://plus.google.com/117272631029461602671/posts/bXojCrL5oSG

I will try again with a complete discharge and see if that works!

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] handful17:
I'm now 36 hours into a total discharge with nothing turned on and it's showing I still have 68% left! Looks like I've stumbled on the answer to poor battery life problems, just turn off all functions and don't use it!

I'm assuming this probably means I don't have a battery issue and it's something causing the battery to crash at a disastrous rate and think it's dead when it probably isn't? I'll continue to wait until it dies though and recharge and see if it does help.
[Device Reviews and Information] Moolok:
When I was depleting my battery for calibration I managed to use YouTube for half an hour with last 2% of charge.
[Device Reviews and Information] handful17:
I was hopeful I had solved my battery issue with a complete discharge calibration as advised on the previous page but it now appears not. After 3 hours from charging with the power only dropping to 99% I had along phone conversation of about 30 minutes and was pleased to see the level had only dropped to 97%. About 10 minutes later I went to use the phone again to find it had powered off and the battery was dead again.:(

Is this a hardware or software issue? Any opinions welcome!
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
Probably the battery has problem but try again the calibration procedure. Keep calibrating till you see a difference. If not is time to buy a new battery. Try also to take out the battery for a couple of minutes and then try again calibration. We try everything...hope it'll fix.
[Device Reviews and Information] jlev:
Speaking of buying a new battery, are these a standard battery? Am I able to buy one from my local electronics store? Or maybe somewhere online?

Probably you'll find online and for a better price. Check the famous stores.
