Just got my BT2 last wednesday... so about 7 days of use. It came with the latest official firmware 20150702 installed .

Problems:

1. The thing shuts itself/crashes 1-2 times a day. You have to press a long time the power button to boot the phone or take the battery out for a moment. :(

Is there such known stability issues with this phone/firmware or is it just my piece? ..maybe a hw problem? Tried allready the factory reset, but it still shuts itself randomly. Any ideas what to try to do or just try to deal with the dealer?

2. 4G reception/ specially uploading seems to be subpar compared to my other LTE-devices.

3. Laggy UI
[Device Reviews and Information] gary_lankford:
I've not experienced the random shutdowns or anything I could describe as a laggy UI. Mine seems very responsive. It has not locked up to require a restart even once.
[Device Reviews and Information] gibs:
Have you tried the 3rd level ? (After, it's even getting worse).
[Device Reviews and Information] peterscm:
I received mine yesterday. It came with June firmware. I flashed it with July firmware and rooted it. Then do all the recommended setting change. Now doing battery discharge. 1% since 1.52 pm. Current time is 2.42 pm

I emailed the supplier to put the tempered glass screen protector in the box before they send it out. So I received it in good condition.

One bug i noticed is, even I connected to WiFi and disable mobile data, somehow it still connect to internet using mobile data. I can see the mobile data connection icon come on and off. I am charged for the mobile data. Does anyone got any solution?

I just rebooted my phone to make it stop connect to mobile data.
[Device Reviews and Information] vleutmans:
You can try to put in on airplane mode, and then if you need WIFI, then just enable WIFI (while still in airplane mode) . Please tell me if it works.

I am so regret not coming to this forum to READ THROUGH all the user review before purchase this model...I am having the same issue of UI lagging. This make me to perform a restart everyday just to enjoy a shrt period on a smoother UI animation... :'(

P/S: Am using the original stock UI...not even any 3rd party launcher!!
[Device Reviews and Information] vleutmans:
You can try to disable scrolling cache if xposed framework could work on this phone. I know from other threads this can help.
[Device Reviews and Information] OngPangTau:
I didn't have root access and can't do that kind of trick :'(
[Device Reviews and Information] r_kalar_2:
You don't need root access. Type on dialer *#*#3646633#*#*. Then slide to Hardware Testing>scroll to AAL>Off.
[Device Reviews and Information] kroken123:
Still no update since July? And what fixes do you recommend for a smoother experience with this phone atm?
[Device Reviews and Information] Danacy:
You should do the trick r_kalar advises you, it really works. Next to that; use a 3th party launcher. There are many good ones. I use Z Launcher from Nokia which is great but there are a lot out there and they don't seem to have any lag problems. (At least I don't)

My wife is having a problem charging her phone. We've tried four different cords and adapters because I've heard the one that comes with the is phone sh*t, but she will plug her phone in when we go to bed and in the morning it's only 85% charged. Sometimes she will plug it in during the day for an hour or so and then she'll come back and the phone will be completely dead.

i get do not support win NT earlier version.. am on windows 8 and 10.. pls i need help.
[Device Reviews and Information] tianmi:
I flashed mine on win8 and 10, just need to install the driver manually
[Device Reviews and Information] gary_lankford:
My supplied charger burnt up first time I used it... Bought another, but though it's open line amperage is 1.75a, it doesn't nearly do that charging, so I am using a quality Samsung charger of lesser output. My nights are short so sometimes the device doesn't make full charge...

If possible, turn off the device while charging. That should make a big difference.
[Device Reviews and Information] sh337:
I was using a different cable (from an Amazon Kindle), instead of the original one. I found out that it's very picky with the plug.

Even if I barely touch it, it stops charging. I don't have this problem with the original cable.
[Device Reviews and Information] Tertsi:
Thanks for the ideas but no help from this setting and also from calibrating the G-sensor. Phone has shut down allready 3 times today. Should have known my luck with this China $hit. I have bought now 3 tablets and 1 phone from China sellers and they all have been subpar quality and somehow faulty by default. :rolleyes: Fck... last time i sweared that never again i will by china device, but once again i fell to the marketing hype. I guess i´m a wooden eye cyclops :cyclops:
[Device Reviews and Information] tochilyn:
which of the drivers pls am confused here..
[Device Reviews and Information] Ormbett:
I have seen too many tests of bad chinese USB chargers so I never plugged my in. They are often ok with 110 V but often fails 220 V safety tests.

My phone draws close to 1.4 A when empty, according my tests.

The WiFi dcs are driving me insane. Has anyone found a solution?
[Device Reviews and Information] gary_lankford:
I bought this back cover

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=141700979472&alt=web

from a Chinese seller on eBay for $4.69 free shipping. Received 10 days from order thru USPS.

It is hard plastic, wraps around the back and sides and just enough of the corners to clip it in place, leaving the ends and the control buttons exposed. With it on, the camera still protrudes about a millimeter.

The biggest problem I have with it, is that like the phone itself, it is slick, hard plastic and provides no grip. However, it adds very little bulk, or weight to the device, will provide some protection and had a low cost.

Just thought someone might be interested...
[Device Reviews and Information] shohid1234:
Like other people in this forum, initially i found it very laggy, but switching off AAL improved things a lot in terms of FPS. Still laggy here and there though.
[Device Reviews and Information] SimplyCity:
Well, I would try AAL thing, but unfortunately secret code *#*#3646634#*#* does not work on my device... Strange, but true. What can be wrong? Confused...

There is a PlayStore app, MTK Engineering Mode works, also.
[Device Reviews and Information] peterscm:
There is a software (system app, I think) called SIM Toolkit installed. When I tap it, it prompted 'App isn't installed'. Does anyone encountered same error?

Btw, I installed Dual Sim Control. It is working on Be Touch 2. Give it a try.
[Device Reviews and Information] gary_lankford:
Yes, I found the same with Sim Toolkit and mentioned it back a way. I think it's functionality is found in the system settings and it's appearance in the app drawer may be an anomaly, but I'm obviously not certain.

Standby intelligent power saving battery option and unstability?

Hi,

Discovered that this Battery settings option might be the source for my phones instability/crashing when in Standby -mode. I disabled the feature in question yesterday evening and the phone hasnt shut down since.

Does anyone have the feature enabled and the phone still wakes up normally and doesnt ever crash? ...it would be nice to know, because if it works with other phones, then it suggests that my bt2 has maybe some kind of HW issue.

regards,

I get my phone at last tomorrow.

Should I

a) root it immediately

b) wait for promised new FW and root then

c) keep it un-rooted

Why should I root since isn't this phone bloatware free? What other advantages there are for root? My current phone is Nexus 4 and it's been un-rooted since beginning. And if I root it now and there's a FW update do I need to re-root it?
[Device Reviews and Information] llewelld:
Or d) sell it...
[Device Reviews and Information] Tertsi:
I installed "Deep Sleep Battery saver" from the Playstore and tried it. Apparently it uses the same intelligent standby power saving settings, because after a while in standby mode the phone had shut itself down/crashed same way as mentioned above.

Can anyone reproduce my Bug findings?
[Device Reviews and Information] SimplyCity:
Sir, for me phone without root access is like car with speed limiter set to 50 or less! So I recommend to root it. It will not broke your guarantee, so its nothing to loose. Thing of rooting as of getting rid of the restrictions and limitations plus you can install very useful stuff like - for instance - viper4a. I personally could not imagine my device without viper. Probably, when new firmware would come, to keep root you will have to do whole rooting thing again, but maybe there will be a way to place new firmware without cooking everything again, who knows. And in my opinion OTA upgrade should work. Correct me if I am wrong. :)

Is there no rooting app that can do this rooting job.. Cos am stuck at some point of rooting with the earlier method.. Tnx
[Device Reviews and Information] SimplyCity:
Since I gained root by method described above, I can not answer your question, maybe someone can. I know some apps like kingoroot and others but every time I need root it goes like this: first custom recovery (usually flashed by pc app like Odin or Flastool), then SU from recovery, then busybox, exposed etc. I have not much experience with stuff like kingoroot... Sorry. But you can go to Chinese phone area (link in my post above) and try to find best way for you.

[Device Reviews and Information] gary_lankford:
Thus ends my short and never to be repeated experience with China phones...

I was out walking, noticed my shoe untied; since I was going to kneel, I took my T2 out of my back pants pocket and put it in my shirt pocket. I kneeled on my right knee and bent over my left knee to tie my shoe...the device slid out of my pocket and hit ground on the left upper corner, kinking the vaunted metal frame at the power button and shattering the screen (Gorilla Glass my ass). Fall was less than 18". The device is no longer functional...

Gotta say, I dropped my previous device, a Samsung Note i717, in it's silicone cover, hundreds of times over it's 4 year use, without even a nick or a scratch. Sometimes the 'drop' was tantamount to throwing...

Anyway, this phone is done for and I am done with China phones... Hope you all have better luck.
[Device Reviews and Information] shohid1234:
Shame dude, did you have a case on?

Gorilla glass? dont think so, they are a bunch of lying scumbags!!!

Dont think itll stop me from buying chinaphones though, but i have learnt my lesson. Buy from a well known reputable brand whose specs can be believed and wait till the phones been out for a bit to see how it really performs.

Seems a bit weird that places like gizchina ect have yet to review this phone.

Oh, btw, the phones developed 3 white spots. feel like accidently dropping my phone too!
[Device Reviews and Information] Tertsi:
noooooo...... the phone crashed eventually even with the intelligent standby battery saving disabled. As a last chance i flashed the same latest original firmware to the phone and will see if it helps. Propably not. Btw the Standby option is enabled by default in the stock rom, so it should work just fine. I´m quite convinced that my bt2 has a somehow faulty hardware which causes it to hang when entering into or when in the deep sleep standby mode and i will have to send it back to TinyDeal. fckin´great. :mad:
[Device Reviews and Information] SimplyCity:
Tertsi: in my opinion it is really hardware issue and your device should be replaced for a new one. I work with mine whole day and try to get issues as users reported but belive me I can not. No single one. Maybe its a piece of luck, but it works very well, especially when I turned AAL thing off...

Saw a collegue dropping his iPhone 6 on the carpet.

Looked worse than your Be Touch 2. Cost him one Be Touch 2 to repair. :)
[Device Reviews and Information] Ormbett:
Yep, exactly my thought. Just a new iphone screen is more expensive than a new bt2. If you drop a phone and it breakes its bad luck, but that happens regardless brand. My guess is that with gorilla glass it will be fine 9 of 10 times if you drop it, with no gorilla glass it will be fine 8 times of 10.

Kind regards
[Device Reviews and Information] Rebel_X:
Gorilla Glass or not, it all depends on chance and the way the phone falls. If you watch the advertisement of Gorilla Glass about testing the falls, they only test FLAT falling and not edge contacting ground when falling.

Nothing will protect your phone if it falls in a bad angle. Live with it.

I have seen people dropping their phone 3 stories high on a concrete and the screen is fine minus some minor scuffs and scratches, while others dropping the same type of phone less than a 1 foot high and screen shatters beyond recognition.
[Device Reviews and Information] peterscm:
Of course turn on airplane mode will work but that is not what I want.

The line I'm using is prepaid and for emergency call only. Therefore, it cannot be turn off and I didn't subscribed to internet plan.

I even install Dual Sim Control software and turn off data for it. Still not working. Money still deducted from my credit. I even create a dummy APN - not working.

Finally, I have to delete all the APNs then the auto connect to mobile data is stop.

I notice on my Note 4 and other Android phone, when I turn off mobile data, the 3G/4G sign/icon (next to the signal icon) is disappeared but not on Be Touch 2. It is always there even I deleted APN. May be this is another bug. Now I'm worry if I bring this phone oversea, I may get a bill shock even I turn of Data Roaming.

---------- Post added at 02:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 AM ----------

Correct. Gorilla Glass cannot withstand corner/edge impact. I saw many phones screen crack due to drop on corner/edge to the floor, regardless the body frame material make of plastic or metal unless the phone is with case can absorb corner/edge dropping impact.
[Device Reviews and Information] r_kalar_2:
Are you talking about this 3G sign?
[Device Reviews and Information] peterscm:
Yes.

You can see from the attached picture, my Be Touch 2 already connected to WiFi but the 3G sign/icon is still there.

Samsung Note 4 also connected to the same WiFi AP but 3G/4G sign/icon is 'disappeared' which is correct.

Please don't tell me it is OK because my credit is keep reducing from day 1 (213.31) to day 2 (196.81) with Mobile Data off and connected to WiFi. It stop at 196.81 because I deleted APN from the phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] r_kalar_2:
That 3g sign implies that you are in 3G network. But the small 3g sign like this one implies you are using data connection. So you don't need to be concerned. It's normal.
[Device Reviews and Information] peterscm:
I understand that but the issue is the smaller 3G sign keep coming on and off when connected to WiFi and Mobile Data off.

With Mobile Data being turn off, the smaller 3G sign should not come on and off.
[Device Reviews and Information] dupajapona:
It probably comes on when you loose wifi signal or wifi gets disconnected for a while... Just my thoughts...

From what I understand, use 'mobile network' means only using network signal and not data. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Well when trying to work it out I noticed when using GPS checker the small 3g sign appeared and I notice that I had used 30mb in the last month but my data is also turned of only apps have ability to acquire data for location my data shows a great number of apps using data so if not this what have placed bug report.

My BT2 reached day 12/08. The mobile is very good for the price I paid. excellent smartphone. Wifi = good.

I saw no lag but the software needs to be updated. The android is very poor, a custom rom solve the problem. Super fast. Reasonable battery. cost and benefit Note 10
[Device Reviews and Information] Yeman56:
For over a month of daily use, this is the best phone I ever had for such a low price (Galaxy Y --> Wiko Rainbow --> Elephone P6000 --> BT2).

The build quality is really bluffing, the screen has resisted yesterday a 80cm drop on the corner, on the hard floor. The metal edges are really nice.

For my part, the fingerprint sensor works very well after having recorded multiple angles of my thumb. The buttons seem robust.

The screen is beautiful, a bit too bright in the dark for my taste but I downloaded Twilight on Google Play.

Recharging is super fast (less than 1:35). The battery life is good.

In fact, the problems that bother me are strong idle battery consumption (about 17% per cycle of 1 day) and fake Android 5.1. After disabling AAL, UI becomes acceptable. I wait for the august update to root it. Apparently, they are waiting for Mediatek files, maybe a better firmware (?) ...

Has anyone figured out how to reduce the touchscreen input lag?

I'm using the VibeUI ROM and everything is buttery smooth. But touch input seems to have quite a delay(especially noticeable while scrolling or unlocking the phone). The MTK engineer mode doesn't have the AAL option, as it seems.

Also, how can I disable the automatic shutdown when the battery is at 1%? It make calibrating it very hard.
