I believe i know what make this phone seems not at smooth as other. It was the refresh rate that being set to 50fps. Also I believe the touch sensor is at 50hz too.

The cpu optimization was bad also. That's why our experience on this phone Ud was really bad.

Still waiting for the CM that ulefone promises last time.
[Device Reviews and Information] Ormbett:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 (band5,band8,band3,band2)

WCDMA: 850/900/1900/2100 (band5,band8,band2,band1)

FDD-LTE: 800/1800/2100/2600(band20,band3,band1,band7)

Well you cant blame Ulefone for that, can you? I presume you have read the specs before you bought the phone. This is one of the problems with buying online, no one helps you if you do not understand the Tech mumbojumbo. I think it is a good phone even without LTE, but I understand you if you are disappointed. The LTE works fine with my operator in Sweden.

Kind regards

OK, granted... I didn't know enough to even do the homework... But, why are the AT&T 4G networks that use LTE bands, that the Touch2 can't use, even detected?

i try flash TWRP with SP flash tool, SP tool finish but when i go in recovery mod i get china recovery. i try with all 3 recovery from need rom.
[Device Reviews and Information] Ormbett:
China phones are known to often lack support for US LTE bands but there is a possibility that maybe one of the bands are supported by your operator. Check with your operator which LTE bands they support. If they actually have support, in your area, for one of the bands supported by the phone make sure you have a contract which let you use LTE/4G and also that you have a simcard that works with LTE.

Kind regards

I received my second BT2 a while ago. Today I decided to turn it on and have a look, compare with my wife's BT2 that she's been using for a month, I noticed the new one has much lower brightness, both set at minimum and adaptive off. Haven't update the new one yet, still running June software while my wife's running July build.

You can also see my wife's one has that bright spot at bottom right corner, wasn't there when new. So I'm afraid if I start using the new one it will have the bright spot soon[emoji17]
[Device Reviews and Information] gary_lankford:
AT&T LTE uses Bands 2, 4, 5 & 17, so no shared bands.

Hi guys,

Would like to share my little trick on getting 100% finger scan result.

Simply wet your finger that is used to unlock the phone, just a little wetness is sufficient. I did it with my saliva or just with a breath on my finger.

IT WORKS.
[Device Reviews and Information] tianmi:
remove the plastic doesn't make any difference, maybe it's my camera doesn't show the brightness well

Help me, please, i got very strange problem today with my phone. It's stop to send SMS. It's coming, but not sending. I thouth, it's carrier problem, put my SIM into other phone and it's sending. I tried my wifes SIM with same carrier - not sending also. Tried another carriers SIM - sending. I think, maybe i changed any settings wrong, i flashed 2 times clear flash ROM, i restored working backup from recovery - nothing changed. I'm using old phone yet, but i'd like to solve it, because SMS is usable... Any advice, please?
[Device Reviews and Information] Yoshi_Guy:
LTE

You are correct. The reason it can see the 4G network is because it sees which networks your SIM card is programmed to connect to. Thus, it sees 4G on AT&T because your SIM has 4G capacity, just not your phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] gary_lankford:
Thanks for that explanation.

This is the case, even though the phone sees different networks available in different places? At home, for instance, my network search only yields one 3G and one 2G network; in the city, dozens are found, including 4G.

As I said, I'm an old guy... some of this stuff is outside my knowledge.

---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

So, since 4G can't possibly work for me, I have set Preferred Networks to 3G.
[Device Reviews and Information] Yoshi_Guy:
---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

[/COLOR]

Sorry, don't think I was clear enough. It can see 4G when your SIM card DETECTS it is. So if you're in an area without 4G, it won't show up. Basically it just shows what you SIM card is programmed to DETECT. So if only 3G is what your SIM can find, it will show 3G in that area. Detecting and connecting are different, so just because it can find 4G doesn't mean it can connect. Hope that clarifies. :)

Fingerprint 100% working programming technique

Hi guys, I know you had already few hints how to get the fingerprint scanner to work better, and believe me, I have tried them all! Even the saliva one, witch works but it's not that elegant!

Before I thought was impossible to have a good scan when the finger is dry, but now with my last programming procedure it is 100% in all occasions.

So before saying that you already read that before pay attention to the details...

1- You are gonna program only one finger, 4 times.

2- First program only the edge of the thumb, the exact same spot with the same pressure calmly over and over again until the program is successful.

3- Now your gonna program the same finger but half centimeter further, but only this very spot over and over until the programming is done.

4- Again the same thing half centimeter further.

5- At last you put the fat part of the thumb, it fells funny but that part can be helpful when the finger is very dry, cause this part is more supple.

6- DON'T USA THE LAST PROGRAMMING FOR OTHER FINGER, LEAVE LIKE THAT, ONLY 1 FINGER 4 TIMES.

Nom I'm glad I don't have to lick my finger anymore and still have 100% scan.

Good luck!!
[Device Reviews and Information] Moolok:
Good idea!

I'll try that when I get my phone, hopefully at the end of the next week.
[Device Reviews and Information] zk9:
Try to check "SMS service center". Open message then hit the left key then choose "settings" then "Text Message(SMS)" then you'll see the "SMS Service Center". Check the number if match with the number that provide by your carrier.
[Device Reviews and Information] snowbord:
Either you received a new batch where the screen blotch is fixed, or haven't used the phone sufficiently yet. Give it a few days. Mine appeared after about 3-4. Also, get used to the ROM. You WILL be rebooting daily, as things just break and are only fixed by a reboot.

I was happy initially too, despite the horrendous screen lag / sensitivity.
[Device Reviews and Information] r_kalar_2:
Daily reboot? Why?
[Device Reviews and Information] snowbord:
Because the ROM is sh*t. Bluetooth hangs, Wifi is unreliable. Screen artifacts are everywhere. The crud just builds over time and you have no option but to reboot.
[Device Reviews and Information] r_kalar_2:
But I am using the same rom, right?
[Device Reviews and Information] gary_lankford:
I'm not having any issues with the ROM... yet,

but, I am seeing a bright white spot, 6 or 7mm dia, in the lower right screen corner, now. Only really visible on full white screens, so far. Have been using the Touch2 for 8 days.

[Device Reviews and Information] llewelld:
Hi Guys,

Some good news I think.

I've been testing the new (unofficial) rom released here : http://www.needrom.com/download/port-vibeui/

basically a port of a lenovo P7000 using vibe 2.5

This rom is a MASSIVE improvement in terms of lag & responsiveness. For those that haven't read further back, I also own a k3 note (very similar hardware to be touch 2), so I know what the Mtk6752 is capable of.. which is why I am so unhappy with the shipped rom.

This rom is a massive step in the right direction.

Before you waste your time flashing, here's what I've found.

Vibe Ui is a relatively lightly skinned version of android. Actually looks very nice.

quick toggles are an improvement over aosp, but not quite CM12.

known issus with this rom:

The flashlight (in quick toggles) doesnt work. There is a flashlight app that works, also the camera & flashlight in camera works perfect, just not from the quick toggle.

The fingerprint scanner doesn't work.

Thats all I've found so far.

wifi, 4g, camera, bluetooth are all working nicely from the small amount of testing o've done in the last 24 hours.

I'll be sticking with this as my daily driver until Ulephone bring out a new major release.

The touchscreen is still not as responsive as other phones, but a big improvement on all roms I've tested so far. I'm assuming when the dev ported this rom he's kept the same kernel, so hopefully this will be the final step to a better phone once ulephone release an update.

Also this rom fixes the low brightness issue. This rom allows a minimum brightness of 5. The stock roms all have a minimum of 30(which is way too high).

(if you want to see where that's stored ../sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness. open this with a text editor, and it just has a value. With root access you can update this directly and set it lower, but i haven't found how to adjust this (on stock roms).. all the build prop values dont seem to effect it.

Long story short, this rom craps all over the current stock rom, with a few caveats above if you can live with them. Hopefully a half decent rom dev could pick this up and tweak it. Battery life seems better, expect this is largely due to that indoors I use a lower brightness value. I'll report back in a day or 2 after I have some more time to review.
[Device Reviews and Information] ferbulous:
Does the vibe ui also has fingerprint sensor features?

Clearly they still need to provide updates for this phone, I swear my old moto g on Lollipop still feels snappier than this

On stock rom, is the offscreen gesture working well for everyone else? Sometimes I had to double tap the screen several times to turn on the display.

Thank you.

I haven't had a SINGLE SPECK of white blotches after using my phone for 2 weeks. Not sure how many people actually have this issue... I have seen other phones with this before so it's not completely new either. Also about the lag: Just flash a different ROM and use a different launcher. Solved all of my problems. Loving my Be Touch 2 so far after 2 weeks. ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] seeker007:
Try using kk launcher I've been using it and must say works like a charm.

Some ppl reboot there bt2 every day I did it couple of times. Gps is solid here in the Netherlands. Had no problem with it. The only real annoying things are the screen lag when typing ugh, weak Wi-Fi and those damn white spots on the screen.

Unresponsive screen

Hey there i am in complete agreement with you

As a matter of fact was gonna right exactly the same thing

Rather i guess u r the first one to share these problems

This phone is an absoute beast for the bug

I won't complain about anything but the slow typing is a pain in the ass

And yes i am also having that white spot at the bottom rightt corner

But all that is still acceptable

Just do something aboyt the lag boy

That is the let down

Very Good!!! News ROMs

http://www.needrom.com/category/ulefone/be-touch-2/
[Device Reviews and Information] MitchBuchannon:
I also want to recommend VibeUI port http://www.needrom.com/download/port-vibeui/

I have this rom and it is much snappier than original rom. I do not experience any UI flickering and everything is very smooth. Antutu test gave me a 43 000 without any tweaks (I had 46 000 on stock with some tweaks). There was only one thing which I don't like - VibeUI launcher ;) But I have installed Nova Launcher and everything is perfect ;) There is also option in Nova to choose Lollipop animations because in VibeUI they are different.

Also the battery seems to last a little bit longer but I need more time to 100% confirm this.

I do not have any problems with my device. WiFi works perfectly (it was working great also on stock rom) and I don't have white spots on the screen. I also don't have any random reboots.

If you have problems with laggy UI you should try this port. I think I will use it until Ulefone will provide system update that will fix the bugs.

VibeUI is pre-rooted and I have installed Xposed without any problem.

It is great device. Now I am really impressed. I only hope that Ulefone will fulfill their promises and they will release bug free software update.

[Device Reviews and Information] frankandwendy:
Be touch 2 still best for me.
[Device Reviews and Information] Yoshi_Guy:
Hello! This basically correct. What I have done is modify my stock ROM in several ways (one such way was to replace the stock launcher with this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kaneoriley.cyanogenport.launcher3 ) This fixed all lag on my homescreen. Also, the stock ROM contains code from 5.1 and Android 5.0, so it is a hybrid (maybe 5.0.5 or something like that). Also, I fixed the problem of the phone randomly shutting down! It has to do with the G-Sensor Calibration. I did extensive testing to see if I could find what caused the phone to shut off, and I found that rotating it during several things caused a shutdown (i.e. watching a video while rotating the phone sometimes caused it, rotating while asleep, etc.). If you go to your Display settings and then G-Sensor Calibration and re-calibrate your sensor, it fixed my problem and I am very happy with the results. As for the Fingerprint Scanner: What I have found is I can get it to work 9 out of 10 times by simply placing my fingerprint all the way inside the silver ring. If my fingerprint is all the way in that circle, I can get it to work every time. Also, if you apply a decent amount of pressure (but not enough to press the button) it will get a better read on your finger. As for the lag in regular apps: Install this TWRP http://www.needrom.com/download/be-touch-2-twrp-2-8-7-0/ (also rename the recoverye.img to recovery.img in the zip, there was a typo for some reason). Clear your cache and Dalvik and go into your settings and clear your app cache that way. This worked for me and now my apps have minimal lag (aka there is a tiny lag spike every so often, and that's only because I don't have a great speedy sd card which my apps are stored on.)
[Device Reviews and Information] gibs:
Ok thanks. Not sure swapping the launcher will improve sluggishness. I use ADW and CM. I will give a try to Catapult and TWRP. But I guess performance in 2D games and typing in the keyboard will still lag...

[Device Reviews and Information] Yoshi_Guy:
Just to ask, have you re-flashed the stock rom? Maybe there was a defect on the flashing of your normal ROM because I just tried Rayman Fiesta Run and I didn't have any lag. You can get the stock rom from here to flash with SP Flash Tool: http://www.needrom.com/download/ulefone-be-touch-2/

[Device Reviews and Information] romy4444:
It seems that fingerprint scanner issue has something to do with electricity, cause i have noticed for example that while plugged to my car charger it almost don't work. And maybe thats also why when we make our fingers wet it works better, it kinda "close the circuit".

I never tried with and then without the silicon ulefone protector for example.... Ill see to compare.

Shouldn't be like that anyway, the good things just work and thats it.

With the hints i posted here before I was getting to work almost always, but i have noticed that i didn't test while charging before...

So I got tired of it and until the next update I will use the face detection feature at smart lock menu, its pretty cool also...

Hope it give you few ideas for trying things.
[Device Reviews and Information] ofsinreno:
I'm not saying you're wrong but I just had my fingerprints taken for a background check and the lady said my fingers had to be wet in order for the digital reader to pick them up properly. Once they were wet she just pushed them onto a piece of glass, no electronics, so I don't think it's electrical in nature, I just think your prints are easier to read when your fingers are wet.
[Device Reviews and Information] seeker007:
You're both right but it depends on the type of technology used. Currently there a 3 types of finger sensor one of which is the capacitive based on electric currents.

Finger print unlocking is not useful to me, but all the issues noted led me to play with it today.

Finger print scanning does not work (no detection) if I am holding the device. With it setting on a table, it nicely detected my print, and I registered my thumbprint 4 times. Phone on the table, my print was detected every time I tried, but holding the device, it ran out my patience without detecting my print. Not failure, no response...
