Just ensure u stand as far as possible (inside ur house) to see the fluctuation of signal strength. Stand on the same spot and take 3 readings with reboot in between. If it shows the same dB values, meaning the Wi-Fi is stable.
[Device Reviews and Information] teabag7:
Don't suppose any changes with WiFi because the modem still the same version

Installed twrp,unrooted and made the update,it`s on bootloop now,great!
[Device Reviews and Information] azeemzuhair:
When I first boot to TWRP, it asked whether to maintain stock recovery or not. I choose maintain (ie there's a button to choose this option.)

Just flash back the stock recovery to get out of the bootloop.
[Device Reviews and Information] ghiurtuv:
Can you be more specific on how to do that,please?
[Device Reviews and Information] azeemzuhair:
Follow this but just use stock recovery from stock ROM.

Mine works quite good... The gaming performance is better now, battery was under 40% and WoT Blitz worked much better than before. The phone does not seem to underclock anymore when low battery.

Everything else seems to be working too.

[Device Reviews and Information] azeemzuhair:
MTK SoC is impossible to hardbrick. If you still have faith, proceed to flash full stock ROM. But u will loose all data...

[Device Reviews and Information] azeemzuhair:
Just my simple advice, the screen on this Ulefone is very very very bad to your eye-sight. After staring at the screen for 5 minutes, my head goes dizzy. Never had this symptom with other phones. May be it's just me noticing this phenomena.

This has also got something to do with white blotches after using the phone. But my unit does not have this blotches yet after a week usage.

May be I'll just use this phone for daylight navigation. Not my main or backup phone. Very bad screen quality from Ulefone.

[Device Reviews and Information] Rebel_X:
For me, after downloading and attempting to update, it says "My system is damaged, Update is disabled."

I think because I have "root" and TWRP recovery. I guess I will have to flash the big update when it comes via SP Flash Tool.
[Device Reviews and Information] Moolok:
Mine was totally stock ROM and unrooted. Update went without any problems or fuss.
[Device Reviews and Information] :
If you're rooted with TWRP you can simply do a full un-root, flash the update.zip (extract the update.zip file from the update.zip file in adupsfota) from TWRP and then re-root after booting once.

Ordered my be touch 2 from gearbest to Indonesia.

This one particular website is very poor on it's customer services. (queue for Hours just to talk with their CS)

Mine was actually being sent using EMS. (because I want to get the Item faster)

Now problem begins.

The item was being denied on their Guangzhou Customs for 2 times. (lost me about 2 weeks)

and on the last attempt the Item went smooth and arrived on my country.

Swedish post is good option because china postal service banned Battery to being sent from their postal services. and their custom is very strict with no reason.

just wait for the phone and hope the phone didn't get white blotches like I do.
[Device Reviews and Information] fractaluser:
Damn mine was stuck in booloader, now when i try to re-flash it with the SP_Facility_DL_Tool.exe and try to scan, there is no results. Can i just copy the recovery.img to the sd card and flash it from the TWRP?

EDiT: I had rooted and flashed it before like this, all the drivers installed but since its in bootloop the computer wont see the drive, hence i cant scan for it (or i dont know why its not showing up) I have no clue how to get the phone out of bootloop after doing this unsuccessful update =(( Any manual to get the phone into its "normal" state would be most appreciated! Dont really care if i lose everything as i had been using this phone since friday and not much on it anyway. Just want a phone i can call with now =)

[Device Reviews and Information] zlobit:
I have had my BT2 for more than 2 weeks now. It came with june rom and unrooted. I updated to july rom and rooted it. I also disabled AAL as you guys suggested and it works just good. No white dots, great camera, fingerprint working 8/10, good gaming performance and really solid design. But on the other hand: my WiFi was disconnecting a lot with slow dl speed (july fw), loudspeaker wasnt that loud at all , typing feels really slow and home button doesnt sometimes react.

Today I tried to update to august firmware. I unrooted my phone and downloaded update. Phone rebooted into twrp, installed zip and got stuck in bootloop. I had to download july fw again, flash it via PC, install august update and re-root again.

I think it is a good update. Loudspeaker is now woking bit better (still quiet at lower levels but at 3/4 sound control its as loud as maxed in last fw. Haven't tested the WiFi yet but UI feels still quite sluggish and laggy. Antutu gave "only" 38462 but the phone doesnt overheat. After a bit of research I found out that they underclocked CPU in order to stop overheating which decreased antutu score and graphics power. After clocking back to 1,69 GHz max I got 45,4k in Antutu and a bit less laggy UI. Ulefone also removed powersave mode with battery under 50% which is really nice. I will post new things as soon as I find out something new. I think the update is good but it may vary phone to phone.

Sorry for my English.

PS. I think battery IS something around 3000 mAh a the phone has giant FHD display with one of the most powerful smartphone GPUs and 8core CPU. Only thing is that it charges quite slow ( cca 30% after an hour of charging ).
[Device Reviews and Information] gibs:
No, I can't.

I have just reboot to get back the WiFi.

The phone still lag.

I have the white blotch on the screen.

For now, I couldn't flash the TWRP recovery. and when I connect the phone without the battery, Windows starts to try to install Mt65XX-preloader !!!

That's really weird as I installed the phone driver.

Also, I heard on other thread that some people gained root access using fastboot mode !!!

Any advice ?
[Device Reviews and Information] SimplyCity:
It shouldn't make a difference... I do not know for now jet, couse I haven't had much time to backup and reflash. As you know, device gets bootlops while on custom recovery. So have to backup, reflash 0702 base from scratch, then ota, then cwm and su... There is no hope to do that tomorrow... I will try. But maybe someone who successfully flashed cwm after august update can say something...

Here is the list of changes I personally noticed :

- WiFi seems now more stable for me, less randomly disconnected when a bit far of the box.

- Finger print manager interface changed a bit.

- New logo for the Ulefone's app that opens their website.

- A new app that opens Ulefone's Facebook page.

- CPU speed limitation under 50% of battery apparently disapeared, or was augmented, I obtain 38k with 28% battery instead of ~19k before update, with full charged battery, it's always ~48k.

My latest finding on GPS and Mobile Data issue. Even though GPS set to DEVICE only, Mobile Data is OFF and WiFi is ON, it will still use mobile data as the smaller 3G sign is come on and off. Credit was deducted.

So far, only solution is to delete all APN (Internet, MMS, etc) that tied to the SIM Card.

Thanks, Full unroot through SuperSU unfortunately didn't work and spin wheel was going for 20 minutes, it didn't unroot.

But, I flashed stock rom, made a nandroid backup through TWRP to go back to stock without using PC when the new firmware gets released.

Use a firewall app like Droidwall or something and prevent apps from using 3g and allow them WiFi.

Finally, my seller agree for i'll return the phone and get full refund

Maybe, i was still with weak wifi, but white spots on the display, appeared after a week of using is not acceptable for me. Maybe the company using very cheap details, or the phone itself built not correctly and overheating the LCD, i don't know, but it's a fact, too much people reported about white spots, good viewed on white screen. The problem is the spots growing up, don't shy, check your display with white screen and if you see the white spots - send it back. Good luck with the phone

My white blotch is at the bottom right. I have unscrewed the plastic and there is nothing heating in this area. There's no electronic parts, just a ribbon.

[Device Reviews and Information] azeemzuhair:
Beware of Ulefone Be Touch 2 "blue light" screen emission.

The screen/panel quality is famous among clone phones (Samsung/Apple clones). I know the difference between good and clone quality screen. My head will get dizzy when staring (Browsing/YouTubing) for 5 minutes. I can see that if you continue using this phone, the "blue light" radiation will DAMAGE your eye-sight!!! Meizu M1/M2 Note having Sharp IGZO panel is the best from my point of view (other than Samsung expensive AMOLED). The IGZO panel is very soothing and comfortable to stare at.

I hope Ulefone read my comment and reply via official press release showing the "blue light" emission rate for this phone. They cannot give excuses because the phone is mid-range, the screen quality has to be compromised. if Meizu can get a good screen at cheaper price, why Ulefone can't.
[Device Reviews and Information] llewelld:
I'm disappointed they have released a firmware upgrade that hasn't addressed the laggy touch screen. Makes me think this is probably a hardware issue. Mine will be going back white spots & all. If they would have fixed the laggy touch screen I'd consider keeping it.. but this is an epic fail imo.
[Device Reviews and Information] ghiurtuv:
After applying the last update,my battery just drained from 40% to 1% and after that my phone just died in max 5 min!I really hate Ulefone and their stupid updates,after i lost all my data,now my battery is broken.I calibrated her already,i'll try a full cycle again.

I all,

I installed yesterday the latest update. Since then, I just can't use the phone anymore.

I had many FC, so I tried to make a factory reset. Now, the fc happen at the very start of the phone, so I can't even configure the first start.

I never rooted the phone that I just received 10 days ago. It was "as is" out of the box!

Has anyone any help about this issue? what can I do start the phone and use it again?

Thanx all
[Device Reviews and Information] fractaluser:
I havent noticed this myself, but then again i havent been using the phone that much. After getting my Sony Z3 stolen i decided not to live in my smartphone anymore and just use it for when i need to call, find my way and messaging. Maybe thats why, but what you are saying is pretty worrying =/ I wish all this was known to me before, should have just got some other phone. Feels almost like 160 euro down the drain atm. Well at least after the current update, i can actually "use" the wifi for more than 10 seconds. It still dies but not as often and will most of the times connect back by it self.

First and last time i buy a clone/chinaphone/junk...next one will be a old samsung galaxy 1 =)
[Device Reviews and Information] zlobit:
Seems like they have half-fixed wifi. It doesnt disconnect now but still looses 95% of speed while standing behind a wall (1200 kB/sec to 10 kB/sec).
[Device Reviews and Information] azeemzuhair:
WiFi instability issue can be due to many factors. The simplest solution is to go into your router setting and change the WiFi Channel. Usually, Channel 1, 6 and 9 are the best.

Plus, Ulefone is again bluffing us by saying the device support 5GHz "AC" band. My unit can detect the 5GHz AC band but cannot connect. Always get "Authentication problem" message. So, I decided to switch the router banding to emit both "N" and "AC" bands for 5GHz. The phone only connects to "N" band.
[Device Reviews and Information] Rebel_X:
Did you buy/have a 2.5D tempered glass separately (phone = $179) or came with the phone (phone = $229).

That tempered glass promises to block most of blue lights, and indeed, when the screen is off and facing sunlight, the glass has a shade of blue to substitute the blue radiation. Besides that, you can change the color to warmer scheme.
[Device Reviews and Information] azeemzuhair:
This is the super-duper-cheap tempered glass screen protector bundled in the box:

I don't bother to apply it as it is not genuine from well known manufacturer and it does not have oleophobic coating which makes scrolling and typing even worse.
[Device Reviews and Information] Moolok:
Wait what? There's two different models on sale? One with 2.5D screen and one without? I thought all phones have 2.5D Arc screen... Mine cost over 200. Confused now...
[Device Reviews and Information] fractaluser:
It can, but if u are like me, where wifi is used everywhere then you KNOW its the phone. I do a lot of wifi security, sure ill change the channel to 11,12,13 on my dd-rwt router to see if that helps but i doubt it. Where ever i take the phone (at work atm) it still drops the connection. Not as bad as before the update but still not as good as wifi should be working. This tells me (have tried 4 different locations, 4 different routers) that its a phone problem and not a channel/router problem.

To be honest, i dont even understand how wifi can be working this bad, i have a alfa awus external card manufactured from early 2000 and it still works like a charm...feels like something is just not right, though seems to they are going the right direction with the update at least...
[Device Reviews and Information] azeemzuhair:
It's hardware problem then. My unit does not have any issues at all for WiFi connection right from day one (except for AC band is not supported). The WiFi is strong. One of the strongest, in fact. My ZTE Nubia Z7 Max is the best WiFi receiver so far. If I go to any hotspots/public WiFi, it (ie BT2) can connect normally and maintain the stability.
[Device Reviews and Information] Guerreiro_BR:
I also am not in a WiFi problem. The Wifi the BT2 is better than my old Galaxy S3
[Device Reviews and Information] Ormbett:
Seems a lot of mentioned problems in this forum coming from people trying to root their phones. Some of them even without having a clue why they should root it :) Trial and error is good way to learn, but stop whining when you f*ck up. If you are scared to brick your phone, just stick to stock rom.

[IMG="Stop whining!"]http://nyulocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/whining-baby.jpg[/IMG]

Who knows. a couple of updates down the road maybe this turns out to be great bang for your buck (as most of its shortcomings are software related), but face it, you can not expect miracles from a chinese budget phone that costs approx 180 USD
