Same for me. GPS is very good as well is the Wifi.

The only major problem I have is the battery, which could last much more and I hope that the next update (if it really come) will fix it. Nowadays I have to reacharge the battery everyday at night...at least it lasts for the day, given my use.

Mine developed two "white spots" on the bottom of the screen area. In my opinion, it looks a lot like "inverted" light bleeding. So in contrast to normal light bleeding, you see round spots on very white backgrounds.

Nope, the developer never gave out any links. And beware to flash the HackerCZextreme CM, this one is going to permanently **** up your phone.

Don't use that, it's not real.
[Device Reviews and Information] Rizera:
In my humble opinion, in the under-$170 price range, the best value for the money phone is the Elephone P8000. It is blazing fast and the battery is awesome. I have both it and the BT2 and I think the P8000 is, to me, a much better option. If you are willing to spend a little more, you could always try the LeTV S1 X600 (excellent performance in general, no fingerprint scanner) or the ZUK Z1 (even though I think it doesn't look good). There is also the Meizu M2 Note (looks great), and the UMI Hammer S, which does look like a promising option, but I still did not have the chance to try it.

"Hello, should be updated in a couple of days. We planned to release last saturday but one of our

engineers found something which can be further improved, so we deplay the release a few days, but

will definitely within this week.

I think my battery time has slightly improved over time. I'm on 2015_8_29. At first when I went to bed with 100% battery it has left in the morning about 60-80%. This morning it was unbelievable 96%. With a moderate use I can manage a whole day. I mostly SMS, email and browse web. Some music. No gaming but occasional Free Fall.

Okay. I thought you meant the latest version (fake rom leak). 0829 feels the same to me.
[Device Reviews and Information] Andy4Shurr:
It jumps around so much in the UK too. I also tried it on holiday a couple of weeks ago in Rhodes, Greece as well, just to test it. It was doing the same thing there, jumping around a few hundred metres apart.

That's 2 of us with both the Be Touch 2 and Elephone P8000! I do really like the p8000. How do you find the rear fingerprint scanner? On the Be Touch 2 it nails 99% of the time on the first try. I find on the P8000 it's less, maybe 70%, probably due to the smaller scanner :/ That's probably my only annoyance.

I'm still getting used to the weight of the thing too, I dropped it the other day and hit the ground with a massive thud! ha. luckily it only slightly chipped the corner of my tempered screen protector.

Another fake update on needrom?

Update Official ROM Ulefone Be Touch 2 Version: Ulefone_be touch 2_20151012 – c218v13_gq3022_fhd_3m_ulefone – 5.0 LRX21M

Anyone tried it. The previous 'fake' version seemed like an internal release as it was continually trying to start MTK logging.

Otherwise seemed to work OK.

Will await an 'official' version as getting fed up of re-flashing. On the 20150811 official ROM - a little laggy on the touchscreen, as others have mentioned, but seems OK.
[Device Reviews and Information] soulfunkdjx:
You can fix this lag by going to engineer mode/hardware test I think and find an option named "AAL". You disable it and restart your phone.No lags now. But if you try to update your ROM don't forget to enable it again before you update or flash another rom.
[Device Reviews and Information] imprezawrxhatch:
Anyone feels that KitKat(4.4.2) is much better than Lollipop(5.0)? Nowadays I dread seeing phones loaded with 5.0.

Secondly, are there issues with 5.1.1 releases? Read somewhere in the forums that cell drain is still not fixed.

[Device Reviews and Information] anonymous1:
update at needrom is not working for all

some 'unexpected contents' in package
[Device Reviews and Information] Moolok:
I just installed the update from Needrom locally. No problems whatsoever. I had unrooted device with the previous official ROM from August.

So far so good. Screen lag seems to be fixed or at least it is smaller. Scrolling is noticeable smoother for example in Web pages. Haven't tried fingerprint scanner yet and of course it's too early to comment on battery life.

Looks promising though.

EDIT: re-programmed my thumb print on scanner and it got 10 out of 10 tries correct when unlocking device. Nice.
[Device Reviews and Information] G3n3R4L:
flash the stock rom to update, u should be on unmodified unrooted device
[Device Reviews and Information] Guerreiro_BR:
does not work

Trying to flash via SD card:

'/system/app/AdupsFota/arm64/AduopsFota.odex' has unexpected contents

and failed to install update.
[Device Reviews and Information] anonymous1:
Same here.

Starting point was to flash the official 20150811 rom from Ulefone. Used SP Flash Tool then tried to flash the needrom update. Didn't work.

Then tried flashing with the oneclick tool from Ulefone and then tried to flash the needrom update.

Same error as above. Also tried flashing via stock recovery which also doesn't work.

Not sure why it's not working here? Will have to await the official release, I guess.
[Device Reviews and Information] G3n3R4L:
worked for me, i just installed the stock rom then updated to 1108, then updated to 2908 and last was the 1210 update .... everything works fine, fingerprint is really fast and responsive than before, touchscreen less laggy, U launcher sux ...

battery still don't know, wifi hmm
[Device Reviews and Information] anonymous1:
That method worked. Thanks.

1. Flashed 20150811 rom

2. Updated to 2908, let phone boot up

3. Updated to 1210.

Agree U-Launcher sucks big time. Wish they'd spent the time polishing/optimising the rom rather than TRY and polish a new launcher.

Scrolling is less laggy. Let's see what the battery life is like. Haven't had time to check wifi yet.
[Device Reviews and Information] G3n3R4L:
the programmers they have actually suck, i don't expect they can handle a good launcher .... all i need is a stable rom
[Device Reviews and Information] niltonarriegas:
How to get the new update? My last update was 1108, and when I check new updates they said that my system is up to date...
[Device Reviews and Information] rodryguez:
20150930 was not a fake. It was a version with integrated debugger from MTK (auto-correction of bugs with the use, and, indeed, communicates bugs to MTK). My friend Socr@te has never pushed one single fake rom in several years... 20150930 was a treasure for every developer, this is why the people at Ulefone were kind of angry ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] maormark:
Me too
[Device Reviews and Information] Moolok:
I think the wifi is stronger after this latest ROM. With previous ROM I had bad reception when sitting across my kitchen table. Now signal is much better. Environment has not changed, router is still behind the same brickwall as before.
[Device Reviews and Information] :
If you are flashing from the stock ROM provided by Ulefone it will not work. Here are the steps to flashing from the Ulefone provided stock ROM:

1. Flash the stock firmware using the AGold flash tool

2. Turn on the device, and directly update through the device's wireless update: do this twice, once for the August ROM, once for the current October update

3. Flash TWRP if you have to (for root and other modifications)
[Device Reviews and Information] wallahboy:
I just updated and by first impression I don't like the new launcher so I switched to the old one. Apart from that while I'm typing this, Swype seems to be more fluent. Can anyone summarize the benefits of new launcher?

Ulefone on fb 8 minutes ago:
[Device Reviews and Information] Andy4Shurr:
No mention of GPS, WiFi, screen responsiveness or general fluidity :/

People on FB also reporting app hibernation after a few minutes with screen off which is stopping music apps playing etc. Can anyone confirm? It will presumable affect all notifications too, unless it wakes with GCM push then at least that will wake the device.
[Device Reviews and Information] rukud:
The phone is working well and more fluid now.

But it's impossible to play mp3 files . The hibernation sets in after 30 seconds even after I turned the energy saving options off. WTF is wrong with Ulefone. If I wanted to use Greenify then I would install it myself. and at least I could exclude some apps. But from my experience it did nothing to help with the Ulefone Battery Drain problem of previous firmwares.

It doesn't seem that they fixed the battery issue because the phone still drained battery overnight. But it's too early to tell.
[Device Reviews and Information] notcosi:
Updated this morning. Battery drain seems worse for me! It is ridiculous . I am going to have to buy a new phone - I can't go more than half a day without having to recharge
[Device Reviews and Information] Andy4Shurr:
I'm hearing mixed feedback for the mp3s.... some say it stops, others say it works as normal :/
[Device Reviews and Information] -fluffy-:
I have no problems hearing mp3 an no batt drain either
[Device Reviews and Information] LucianGL30:
If you have a rooted version and receive an wireless update,don't apply for.Do a backup from twrp recovery when you deal with system files.First you have to unroot your device if you don't want to enter in bootloop and be stuck at ulefone logo. ( But if you did that there is a simple way to resolve also;like:enter in twrp recovery and do a restore,after that your phone should reboot and work again ) .

My phone was rooted on previous version ( 20150811 ) , I did unroot from supersu,after restart I did wireless update and hit update now,after restart I wait for phone to install all updates and restart phone to enter in twrp.I choice supersu zip to install and then restart my phone.Now my phone is fully rooted with last update thru wireless.Hope this steps are useful

After latest update I have had no problems whatsoever. The mp3's keep on playing just fine after screen goes off. No hibernating music player. I tested both stock player and Poweramp with several songs.

I have no problems with wifi, GPS or 3G/4G. I don't have white spots either.

This thread is full of doom and gloom. It's not a perfect phone but it is very good considering the price.
[Device Reviews and Information] wallahboy:
do you use the new launcher? i cannot see an added benefit yet and I am not using it. after updating i didn't have the freezes while surfing yet. i do not notice a significant difference in battery drain but it lasted a full day before update for me which is enough for me. white spots are obviously still there but i can live with it. fingerprint works very well.

[Device Reviews and Information] Rizera:
Hi, Andy!!

Yes, I have been using the P8000 as my daily driver, and I gotta say I am much more satisfied with it than I were with the BT2, and this is mostly thanks to the very reliable battery. I am a very heavy user and I can always get a full day of usage with the P8000, while with the BT2, I had to charge everyday twice, sometimes even three times.

As for the rear fingerprint scanner on the P8000, I get it right really 95% of the time. The only times I got it wrong, were because I had my finger wrongly placed on the scanner. Other than that, it just nails it. I am also more familiar with it now, meaning that I get it right almost everytime. The fingerprint scanner on the P8000 is definitely no problem to me. And yes, I have only one finger registered, once.

The weight of the thing is really concerning. Holding it with one hand while driving really gets me nervous, haha. It tends to try and slip frequently. I don't remember seeing a smartphone this heavy in my life. I believe that if I ever drop it, it won't resist at all!

Best regards.
[Device Reviews and Information] G3n3R4L:
the charging is not fast !! the phone is charging for more than 3 hours now and got only 88%

Anybody knows how to receive a call without having to unlock first with the fingerprint ???

I had not noticed this behaviour before the new update : when fingerprint is activated and one receives a call, I thought we could directly answer the call without unlocking first.

Just for info : Stagefright 1 & 2 Security Bug is present...
[Device Reviews and Information] imprezawrxhatch:
Does ulefone know about the stage fright bug? Hopefully the next update will be patched.

That's because of the way the fingerprint sensor is implemented, I don't think it'll go away any time soon.

It may be bad "software" that causes "hardware" failure...
[Device Reviews and Information] superdragonpt:
Hi

Yes, the issue isn't related to the "bad quality" of LCD "x or y", (not hardware "per se")

The problem needs to be addressed by Mediatek.

The LP power/ic implementation/ lcm (Read-Only Memory software upgrades -5.0 / 5.1 ), just made it even worse.

In simple words, It's "just" a stuck pixel(s), caused by not-so-good software

It's very annoying i know.

Even so, you guys should return it, and ask for a new one...

cheers
