I don't know why but since the begining of bad reviews about the battery and the heat, a lot of people wants to cancel his order (sometime owned in a flash sale!). Yet, I think all fingers pointed problems can be resolved through updates (except the dubious battery capacity) !Have in mind that this phone only released on June ! It has all time to improve !

For that purpose, Ulefone will have to release several updates (!), especially for main problems. Some will say. "Ugh, they will never do that.. :cyclops: " but I think that does not respond to the observed problems and disappoint less than 10,000 fresh customers and the others on their current flagship would be a really bad blow for the brand's reputation. Only time will tell it.

I find it regrettable that those who are not satisfied with the current level of this smartphone deprive other people of a phone who, in my opinion (no, I'm not pay to say all that follow :eek: ), also has many qualities like manufacturing quality, screen, nice design, fingerprint sensor, 2.5D glass, 3GB of RAM, metal frames, gorilla glass 3, cameras and flashlights, the potential of SoC and pure Android without bloatwares ! And all that for only 180$ in rare flash sales with a bit of luck !! But everyone is free, personally, I had 5 days of reflexion before shipping, but fortunately I didn't canceled it. Yet, my only fear is to receive a defective one.. :mad:

I was thinking of buying the Be Touch 2 to replace a ZenFone 2 (because I want 3G on SIM2). After reading this thread I think I will give up on that idea....

Regarding WiFi, check the firmware on your router - update if possible.

My video of the home button: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFjDPLLwAJ4

and it is a mess to display the "task manager" as I have to wait many seconds sometimes to see the apps...

There is no mainstream phone on the market that does 3G for both SIMs at the same time. It is always 2G on one SIM and 3G/4G on the second one.

Why would you need such feature in the first place? You can change which SIM works in 3G/4G mode from the menu.
[Device Reviews and Information] Yeman56:
Really noisy or it's your camera ?!
[Device Reviews and Information] Carlito Z3:
There is no issue with 3G on sim2, even with 4G in fact... the two sim slots are working exactly with the same features BUT you can't use 4G with the two sims in the same time (and it's logical because I can't imagine how it could be usable: ask for the sim # each time you click on a link?)

But in the android settings you have a sims menu in which you choose:

mobile data: sim1 or sim2?

calls: sim1? sim2? ask before?

sms: sim1? sim2? ask before?

the only annoying thing is that mobile data doesn't switch automatically from one to another if the network is not available... but the change is 10 seconds long so an automatic switch would be boring...

Concerning the sms choice, in fact I don't use it as I use GO SMS which handles very well the two sims (two send buttons in the app)

Yeah saw the YouTube film either the battery optimization sucks or there is a huge difference between the quality of the batteries. One test doesn't make a difference when the user experience is poor but I'm satisfied with it coming from a nexu5
[Device Reviews and Information] harjybarjy:
I decided it was too much of a risk/gamble and cancelled my order with Gearbest.

Two factors came into play;

1. all the varying comments from different users, like a lottery, either way the phone isn't up to scratch yet, needs updates.

2. GearBest still "processing" my order after over a week!

They have now cancelled it and given me a refund which will go into a 'GB Wallet', anyone used Gearbest and know what this actually means? customer service are really slow and I want a refund to paypal.
[Device Reviews and Information] Leodensian:
Basically it means they still have your money, so demand a refund, and if they don't play ball just open a Paypal dispute.

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

To be fair, the people that have cancelled have done the right thing. OK the spec IS good, but until (and if ever) they get all the bugs sorted it's not worth buying. Maybe in 6 months or so if all has improved I may consider buying, but there are still too many unsolved negatives at the moment.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

As a backup the Umi emax is great in my opinion, ok the camera is not the best and no 4G for UK if you're not on EE, But once you get the battery calibrated it's brilliant. With normal usage plus light gaming I get well over 24hours out of a full charge. Unlike my Xperia SP which is lucky to see me till early evening
[Device Reviews and Information] WearySky:
And by that time, there will be 6 new flagships released that have better specs and are more interesting. Including one or two from Ulefone, I'm sure.

The annoying thing, though, is that you can't even use 3G *voice* on the second sim, if you're using 4G on the first SIM. And here in Canada, there's only one company that even *has* a 2G GSM network. All the rest are CDMA for their 2G networks. So if you want to use dual sim, you're limited to what company you can use your second sim for.

WiFi really sucks on this phone I mean it, when it eventually connects it rarely works and most times it doesn't even connects and don't tell me its the router because its my office connection and my gionee e3 works perfect been using the e3 since I got this touch 2 because the touch 2 won't stay connected my only regret now is selling my note 3 to get this phone

I really need to root this phone, can some one help me pls?
[Device Reviews and Information] krotos:
the true about ulefone, i have received mine and this first sensation is like mencioned good mobile constrution, for the price. all people say blabla , but the true is that:

1 - camera is fine but the firmware is not god some times excelent photos another times some noise picture.

2- wifi is not a problem on this mobile.

3- temperature this mobile warms like any other device that use the mtk6752, but the true is that some way the processor don´t have a good cooler i have tested this mobile and my old mtk 6589 they all go to 45 to 50 cº but my old mobile you dont feel so mutch the hot, this is the unique coin, that is feel the hot, i tink iff you buy some cover on the back you will not feel this temperature.

4- the android off this device 5.1 or 5.0 i don´t care, i found only two faults:

a- when you begin to install things become slow.

b-when you play some games or watch videos you see some lags, it realy notice that the fps drops, i tink that this a problem off drivers off the gpu, only.

5- the battery seams to be reaaly 3050 mha, but the screen burn battrey a lot, i tink this may be solved with some adjust on the android system, i have left the mobile on standby with wify for 1 day and half and only consume 3%, but when you turn the screen this consume increase a lot.

6- the lte is not acure engough how this rom, i have see and tested another mobile that use the same mtk 6752 so the same lte techonology and see that the lte is faster on the other mobile.

resume: a nice device , but ulefone need the a good rom, i hope they manage to do that.

and please think a litle, iff you see another brands with same specs, they all have some issue, it only depend on brand to have good rom so people dont talk about the company.

i have post only the bad things i found, but all the rest i dont mencioned work fine...

so like you see i have not compare the ulefone with any brand,i have mencioned my old mtk but heavent i mencioned brand, is a sincerily and true test.
[Device Reviews and Information] denduvel:
Love your review.

Given the price, I'm really pleased with the thing. All of your problems are to be resolved when buying an $800 phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] krotos:
No my friend you don't need to buy so many expensive like you see what happens with snapdragon 801 also to hot, and his on the best mobile money can buy...
[Device Reviews and Information] Maos_frias:
I received this phone yesterday, for now working fine, but i came from a galaxy s plus, so its a huge diference. battery yes, it drains a little fast, using 4g (very good) camera its very good, didnt tested at night yet, and it heats a litle when playing. but that is normal with most phones. i think. but a phone below 225€ with these specs, isnt easy.

Now i need to root it and wait for any new rom for this "litle one". any one knows?
[Device Reviews and Information] krotos:
You can see in this thread the answer to root... I don't really know iff Ulefone will manage all problems...
[Device Reviews and Information] MUG3NHC:
Got the same problem with wifi. Hopefully ulefone will fix it.

Btw, why the f did you swap note 3 to ulefone?? O.o
[Device Reviews and Information] gary_lankford:
Lol!, really! If my Note 1 hadn't quit, I would still be using it... AT&T my only carrier... I don't like what they are doing on upgrades monthly charge, so after much looking, I made the wrong decision, as usual, and bought a Be Touch 2...

Feedback

Hey Guys,

I received my Ulefone Be Touch 2 on Monday.

Its been 4 days of usage so far and here's my honest feedback. Considering the price I paid $290 AUD and comparing it to the other devices I have used. This is a back up phone until the Iphone 6s comes out. I've been an android user for the last 5 years and this year alone I have tried for a month on each mobile from note 4/ s6 / s6 edge / m9 / z3 / 1+1 / G3.

Pros:

*great build

*camera <- hands down the best for the price. but in comparison to other $600+ mobiles its quite good. Even the front camera is amazing.

*no LED notification but solved with using flash notification on the front flash.

*finger print sensor is accurate in my experience so far. Fast and efficient.

*Screen is amazing.

*Not a heavy mobile gamer but every game I have personally tried works well. Haven't noticed lag.

*Works well with my wifi at home both 5ghz and 2,4ghz spectrum's.

Cons:

*battery life could improve with better optimization with the software updates.

*Stock Android 5.1 (fake) <- doesn't bother me but it is buggy and needs to be optimized.

*User Interface animation is choppy (I have tried several launchers and they are all choppy)

*Laggy when typing sometimes (inconsistent)

*Overall I experience Lag when transitioning from page to page / app to app.

*Internet browsing with touch response is slow whilst trying to navigate through the page.

All the CONS can be improved with software updates and with the option of installing 3rd party roms like Cyanogen MOD / Flyme and many more. Currently no root but there is a walk around. I can't be bothered as it takes too much time.

But as a daily emergency back up mobile for now. I really can't complain. It does what I need it to do without any issue, Emailing / SMS-ing and calling.

It last me a full day (10-14hrs) easily.

Please ulefone have an software update that optimizes the performance of this mobile. Its specs are amazing and it shouding have any issues with lag when navigating through the home screen and app drawer.
[Device Reviews and Information] _noone_:
Which app did you use for the front flash notification light?
[Device Reviews and Information] justdaryl:
Flash Alerts 2. Once you have the back flash working, go into settings of Flash Alerts 2 and change the flash to front flash

Anyone using xposed can confirm if is properly works?I'm using "

xposed-v67-sdk21-arm64.zip" but some modules works,some don't.For example Gravity have some working tweas,some don't,but Viper4android and Amplify is not working.(opens but do nothing)
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
I can confirm GB works but Amplify does not - fails to block anything.

Viper4Android does not need xposed to run, it needs BusyBox. I have it working with no issues - installed via flashing the zip in recovery.
[Device Reviews and Information] ghiurtuv:
Thanks Stapo,same problem with Amplify too,it can't block anything.In my oppinion this program is prioritar because phone idle eat the biggest part of the batery :(
[Device Reviews and Information] stapo101:
I agree. And there isn't too much information about the Amplify problem on the net. There are some people suffering the same issues and they have put it down to 64bit Arm8 devices. However, I have Amplify working very well on an Ecoo E04 which is also an MTK6752 SoC running android 5.0. I guess we may have to wait for the next version to see if it makes a difference.

Has anyone else got light patches on their screen, particularly visible with a light coloured background? I think it's the digitizer, I just don't know whether I could be arsed sending it back for a replacement.
[Device Reviews and Information] ghiurtuv:
Let.s hope for an update.My display is very good.Anyone having problems with keyboard?She can't keep up with me at all!
[Device Reviews and Information] shohid1234:
Same here. Using swiftkey and fast typing always leads to mistakes.
[Device Reviews and Information] WearySky:
I have this problem with both the Be Touch 2 and the P7000. MOST annoying is with a keyboard that accepts swiping input, it sees too-fast touches as swipes, sometimes. Gah. Both of these phones are using mostly-unmodified (as far as I can tell) versions of AOSP 5.0, so I'm wondering if it's a common issue with AOSP 5.0? Or is it just a result of the overall lagginess of the phone?
[Device Reviews and Information] Andy4Shurr:
Have you tried Google keyboard for swiping?
[Device Reviews and Information] WearySky:
I have Swype (got it free in an Amazon sale) so I'm just using that for now. I just prefer to tap to type, generally, and so far neither this phone nor the P7000 can keep up.
[Device Reviews and Information] Andy4Shurr:
I only ask as I used to use Swype too but I find the google keyboard more responsive (for swype and single press input). Could be worth a shot until a fix is implemented, who knows (it might not make a blind bit of difference either though, ha).
[Device Reviews and Information] DanBT2:
In my experience from this phone (Ulefone Be Touch 2) bought from Hope Team Aliexpress

Camera- Ok

Wifi- Ok

Data- Still not tested the 4G

Fingerprint- Smooth

Display- Good

Build Quality- Good

Battery- Not yet tested , I just receive it today

Software- Not that smooth compare to other smartphone

Sometimes delay in opening the screen using double tap feature

Heating part around the camera but the back of the battery is okay when playing games or surfing net using wifi

Decreasing performance when reaching 50% below

For me, it is half nice for now, will see if there will be updates for better performance
[Device Reviews and Information] gary_lankford:
I type, and then feel stupid and start swiping for better speed and accuracy... Maybe a non-swipe keyboard would work better for you. There has to be some overhead, just in keyboard deciding whether you are swiping, or not.
[Device Reviews and Information] WearySky:
I started with a non-swipe keyboard (the stock AOSP one) and switched over to Swype, hoping it would be less laggy even with tap typing. It is not, and the way it picks up multiple quick taps as a swipe is super annoying. So I've just stuck with swipe typing, for now. I'll try the Google keyboard, though, thanks for the suggestion.
[Device Reviews and Information] Guerreiro_BR:
The performance degradation with 50% battery is ridiculous. I do not know why a company that wants a reputation can do this with your customers :eek:

The advice I would give is to cancel your order, then you do as you want :)
[Device Reviews and Information] krotos:
Gibs this is so strange why you mentioned lte do you know that the lte chips his inside mediatek processor so iff the lte work on others mtk 6752 why will no work on the Ulefone?

Battery I really don't know iff is 3000 or 2500 but iff someone can pull the plastic out off the battery the true is behind....

What I see is that the reviews bloggers and the YouTube guys earn a lot money with all behind this also, and off course I see that company also earn lots off money making great photo shop picture because European people believe on great pictures....

Article on ulefans.com dated 7/18

http://ulefans.com/productnews/high-demand-be-touch-2-can-cause-delay-during-factory-process/

contains an image of a letter dated 7/15 which states that high demand for Touch2's means those purchased before 7/14 will be shipped by the end of the month. Letter claims production of 3000 units/day, but says nothing about when those purchased during the 7/14 flash sale, or later, will be shipped.
[Device Reviews and Information] gibs:
I don't know why. What I know is that I put it on the Ulefone it doesn't detect 4G but 3G and when I launch a speedtest I get the speed of a poor 3G :)
[Device Reviews and Information] krotos:
Gibs Wich contry you are, does your provider have 4g where you are? With me have passed something like this on other mobile I have called my provider and they tell, that they need to activate 4g since that call when I use a lte device my sim card have 4g... I think that some people like to enter where only to have dispute and don't think maybe something is wrong in another place, maybe you and 80% off people that talk about this device are really de promoting this device and promoting others...

be touch 2 review continued

to continue from my last review......

this phone has now been my main phone for nearly a month now and yes its a great phone for the price but with some teething issues:

1. Bright white spot has appeared in the last couple of days on the bottom right hand of the screen - visible virtually the whole time.

2. The home button is temperamental - not always working (dont get me started on the fingerprint scanner!)

3. The battery is poor - its not what is advertised or i have a defunct battery - i have the screen set to minimum, bluetooth, location, wifi everything i can think of that is a drain - off and it still dies...

4. Camera - is excellent but not good in low light and has a weird tinge to it

5. Overheating to the maximum doing anything on the phone

6. cant handle graphics on games very well

7. quick Charging??? nope! maybe its because i am in Australia and ulefone don't have an AUS plug only a USA one and i have to use a converter - any advice would be appreciated.!

8. when using PIN code to unlock - there is a lag of around 6-10 seconds once you press a digit - very laggy

9. 5.1 ROM - hmmmmm again need an optimised ROM that can actually take advantage of the specs. (its a shame that mediatek processors have not got better at the overheating also yet)

All that aside its a good phone for the price - the screen was excellent when compared to the s6 edge both playing the same 4k ultra HD video - the colours on the s6 were better but no by a long shot for its price! so well done ulefone just please improve your customer support (been waiting over a week for a response)

I know that rooting the device will void warranty but it would be nice please if someone could put up the full STEP by STEP instructions please? I dont want to brick it and i am having issues on windows 7 with the driver install from ulefone... keeps on failing..

---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

hi

does anyone else have this problem when running the auto installer batch file from ulefone support for updating the ROM?

I run as administrator and all i get is the following message in CMD:

the system cannot find the path specified? I am doing something wrong?

can anyone help please?

is the new ROM that has appeared on the ulefone website newer than the stock rom (fake 5.1) that came with the phone? anyone done it yet? is the one on ulefone 5.0?
[Device Reviews and Information] gibs:
The button works well on mine, but the fingerprint is a joke. has already reported by somebody here.

Mali T760 is sold as a "energy efficiency". As you noticed on my video there is nothing outstanding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPmgqWiOmxQ

Camera is not excellent, a photo taken with the 8MP of the iPhone 4S looks way better. And yes, in low light it is just a joke :)

Ah you noticed that also :)

The phone can't play Jetpack Joyride correctly.

And look at my Rayman video compared to an iPhone 4S: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PWAha95uag

Yes it can eat 1.2A with its adapter. But you can't quick charge with USB2 (for example). Just buy a 2A USB power adapter.

Nothing to complain about the screen but honestly, you can't compare it to the one on the Galaxy S6 Edge.

This is unfortunate if the quoted capacity in the battery is true. Which is 9.69Wh. If you devide with the 3.8V, you will get 2.55Ah or 2550mAh. So battery is the same as original be touch or they just didn't bother to change the word. But one thing is sure that battery definitely behaves better than 2550mAh.
