For all those who spend their time complaining about this device here.... °^_^°

Here's new result with latest Antutu 64.bits v5.7.1 and the new update from Ulefone:

Not bad at all, I would say. Device is rooted, processes are reduced to the strict minimum, and I installed about 60 apps on it.

As I already said a week ago, not a single white dot on the screen despite daily use (contrary to my previous Hammer which had some, and works with MTK6732, so white dots have nothing to do with 6752 or overheating or whatever, it's probably due to some pressure between the OGS LCD & Touch glass, I think.

Not had a single forced reboot, not any problem downloading or surfing the web on WiFi or 4G, battery is fine to me, build is perfect (no crack or anything to worry about), GPS works fine, screen is gorgeous (might be smoother when scrolling , in the future, tho), camera is nice & brings lots of details on the pix.

I'm sorry but I cannot find any reason to seriously complain about this phone, which is a true bargain for the $179 I paid! I got many of them, sold many of them already, and no customer came back to me with any problem or defect or whatever :D . Ulefone, Well Done on that one! ;)

OMG!!!

After applying the 0.33mm 2.5D Blue Light Filter tempered glass, the scrolling experience is superb! No more stuttering!

Plus, staring the screen for more than 15 minutes does not affect my head. Totally different experience altogether.

I really want to believe you, but I find it very hard to believe a screen protector will fix lag and a poor scrolling etc. (AAL is already off), this is just basically lag and a the sensitivity not being high enough.
[Device Reviews and Information] azeemzuhair:
Not the old plastic screen guard (ie the one included in the box is old plastic screen guard - throw this guy away!)

You need to find those tempered glass that is coated with OLEOPHOBIC layer. . This will ensure the touch of the skin does not need high surface area in order to trigger the digitiser. The stock factory screen does not have oleophobic coating and requires a large surface area to register a "touch", hence the precision is degraded dramatically.
[Device Reviews and Information] Moolok:
I have no previous experience on power banks but I just thought one might come in handy with these large FullHD screen phones. Any recommendations? Preferably not an expensive one. How about those Hame H5. It's pretty small (5300mAh; 5V/1A input/output) but looks decently made and they say it has all kinds of safety protections.
[Device Reviews and Information] Yeman56:
Did you removed the original plastic film ?

[Device Reviews and Information] azeemzuhair:
Of course. Those plastic screen guard is lousy. Use tempered glass with oleophobic coating.

If your phone comes with tempered glass screen protector, try it first and feel the different. But my guess is the included tempered glass is low grade quality.

I use ASUS 9600mAh powerbank. Cost me Ringgit Malaysia RM39.00.
[Device Reviews and Information] Yeman56:
Xiaomi powerbanks are really popular but a bit big to enter in pocket. I bought the Asus ZenPower with 10.050mah on Gearbest which is apparently a good alternative. It's for my little brother, he loves all objects with electric blue color and it's more compact than the 10.400mah Xiaomi powerbank, but they haven't shipped it yet, I'll contact the staff.

Do not buy the """""50.000""""""mah no name batteries we can find for low price on amazon, the real capacity is really lower and there are not all the securities. And also beware of fake Xiaomi power banks.

[Device Reviews and Information] grayfone:
I don't know about other tempered glass protectors, but I bought this phone during the presale, and it came with the (lousy) plastic film applied, one plastic film in the box, the tempered 2-5D blue-under-the-sunlight glass protector, and the trasparent bump siliconish case.

I disliked the feel of the plastic feel from the start, felt really cheap, so I peeled it off, cleaned the phone glass accurately, and put on the tempered glass, and it worked and felt great. It's still on and works like a charm. That being said, I don't know if that changed the touch 'feedback' much, since the original film stayed on for like 5 minutes before I get fed up of it.

By the way, I don't have any major problems with the phone, to be honest. Sure, it's not the top of crop in the speed department, and the battery life is borderline lousy, but since I use it as secondary device and the price was fairly cheap, it doesn't bother me too much.
[Device Reviews and Information] azeemzuhair:
The stock plastic screen guard is lousy. I also peeled if off after 24-hours using BT2.

Naked screen is OK but there's no oleophobic coating, hence, scrolling with fingers requires "pressure efforts" to register the digitiser. So, I ordered one tempered glass with oleophobic layer and the result is very satisfying. Plus, it reduces the "blue light" radiation as well.

However, even with the tempered glass, typing experience is slightly improve not significantly. At least swyping gestures work better now.

My battery was kind of ok yesterday,i let the phone with 46% when i get to sleep.When i woke up still 46%(this is ok because i have Greenify,Servicely and Powernap)After i connected him to wi.fi and opened the facebook it droped to 36.After 2 seconds(real 2 sec) he turned off.I had to let him 3 min in charging for rebooting him again.On the 07022015 update my battery lifetime was 2 days,now this is not a phone anymore,any advices?

Well, I decided to try that oleophopic tempered glass protector. I suspect that I have plastic protector installed.

I just ordered from eBay 9H Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Ulefone Be Touch/Be Touch 2 Smartphone CN. That's the right one, right?
[Device Reviews and Information] azeemzuhair:
Too bad ur order did not come with free tempered glass.

So long as there is "genuine" tempered glass with oleophobic coating, it's legit. You have to give notes to the reseller to properly package the item so that it does not shattered when arrive.
[Device Reviews and Information] Ormbett:
Xiaomi is good. The latest model is the 10000mAh. I have several of them. They include quality Li-ion 18650 cells from Sanyo, LG or Panasonic. The thinner 5000 mAh is also fairly new. The 5000 mAh is to thin for 18650 and is powered by a LiPo.

There is a lot of counterfeits out there so buy directly from MI shop, or from Gearbest, Banggood who who both sell genuine for a good price.(often discounted). The genuine have a code you can check on "mi.com/verify"

Kind regards

White spots

OK yesterday singing the praises after update today discovered two white spots roughly ariung the centre of the screen have had the phone about 4 week and use a lot every day don't think this is due to update just poor QC won't be sending back due to time expense as if the same as last time customs wanting import duty and import documents so will live with it ulefone what a shame these phones should be stopped from being sold until investigated .
[Device Reviews and Information] Moolok:
Yes, I thought of that and added a note for seller to pack it in a box or something.
[Device Reviews and Information] ghiurtuv:
I`ve done that before,i done that this morning again.Battery was recalibrated yesterday at 100%.This time when it gets 100% i will try to deactivate the Powernap and Servicely,but i think these shouldn`t be a problem,on the july firmware it wasn`t.

[Device Reviews and Information] azeemzuhair:
PM-ed.
[Device Reviews and Information] Ormbett:
Gorilla glass have oleophobic coating applied in the manufacturing process. The tempered screen protector that comes with bt2 (if you paid full price) is also supposed to have oleophobic coating.

I cannot see why it should make any difference on the input lag. My guess is placebo. :)

Kind regards
[Device Reviews and Information] azeemzuhair:
It's up to individual to decide. I'm just posting my experience before and after effects. Now I'm a happy user (slightly).

Many tech enthusiasm rejected tempered glass tech simply because some of them did not purchase the "genuine" product. When apply the fake product, the result is disappointing.

As per what I have explained earlier, the digitiser panel behind the screen is of low quality grade. It's hardware issue from Ulephone. I've faced this before way back when I have the HTC HD2. Since the HD2 is still under warranty, I insisted to change the screen panel altogether and I felt the effect immediately. The second batch of HD2 that I tested at the mall did not have stuttering issue anymore.

Ulefone still has to tidy up the stock ROM though.
[Device Reviews and Information] SimplyCity:
Hi, updated to august newest firmware. Did that by: 1. flashing whole 0702 firmware by the way provided on manufacturer's webage, 2. OTA update. Works fine. Just few minutes now flashed TWRP and SU (method described before - by flashing only recovery.img) - gained root. Now installing every apps I need from PlayStore and from Titanim backup. Do not have any new to say about the update itself, couse I am going to check everything at the state it was on 0702 base, after everything installed. For now is ok. For those who can not update or have any problems: in my opinion everything is going with properly drivers installed. Since then you can have unexpected issues. I did not have any. The way was preatty simple - just did step by step they webpage says. So, good luck. :) But have to say, that every rose has Its thorn and I just saw a white dot on my screen, thinking about sed it back, unfortunately. I started to get used to everyday use...

Could be me because i have Parkinson's disease mind you. So, my slightly shaking hands do no favor when taking pix... LOL...

But from my experience, the BT2 camera is taking too long to focus and save the pix. Meizu is faster but Mi4i is blazing fast.

Ulefone dev, please improve the camera performance in BT2 (if u guys spying on this thread)

[Device Reviews and Information] azeemzuhair:
Then i suggest you to hard reset and use BT2 in Airplane mode. Do not root. You can install whatever apps but do not use greenify, Xpose and any other mambo-jambo tweaks.

Put ur SIMs into ur backup phone(s).

When you monitor for 48 hours in the airplane mode, you will know whether it is hardware problem or software issue.

These are my routine whenever I purchase any brand new phones. I will only put in the SIMs when I am satisfy with the battery performance under airplane mode with Wi-Fi enabled.

hey you think differences to stock cam are significantly different?
[Device Reviews and Information] Moolok:
Well, I like "A Better Camera Unlocked" because it is more flexible: you can use manual settings all the way or go full auto. It's entry level photographer friendlier.

Here's two (bad) samples I just took.

Firstly stock camera, single shot, full auto.

The sun was very bright and directly behind me so the shots were quite flooded with light.

Secondly A Better Camera Unlocked, single shot, full auto.

Dead spot on screen, no sensibility.

Has anyone noticed a dead spot in the up part and right of the screen??

If you imagine a line following the power button to the right, a little bit up.

I noticed the first time when i tried to turn off bluetooth, (not with the shortcuts), with the normal system config. page and then the green toogle on and off. I was not able to switch the bottom. Then I also noticed that, for example, when im on google play store, search an expecific app, and then try to hit the "more" button, it is almost impossible, i have to try many times to get a response.

To confirm that I downloaded an screen test app and there is a feature to test the touch screen sensitivity and identify dead spots, actually for me the whole line following the power button (a little bit up) is dead!

Looks like hardware issue, but after some research i saw that sometimes can also be software... l hope!!

By the way I also have the ****ing 2 white spots, I was almost getting used to them, but now this new dead spot thing is really annoying me!!

I just don't understand that, ok, you can say that its a cheap fone, but the chineses companies sometimes are so close to do something really nice for an amazing price, but in the end stupid mistakes can disappoint a lot of people...

Hi i had the same problem. Just the fact to unlock the phone dropped the battery (1 % per minute ) but this morning I tried to put off the fingerscanner and the automatic backup.

Now that's good. I fully charged the phone at 2pm and I'm currently at 70 % with a normal use .

Some observations after the latest OTA.

1. System is smoother, UI is smoother even with AAL on(I have turned it on). Difference isn't that big though. Browsing is definitely better than before.

2. Fingerprint scanner was excellent for me from the beginning. After the update I have deleted previous print and made new ones. Result is same. But I'll suggest you to do so. Or the fingerprint app will eat your battery(may be it is eating even after doing that).

3. Camera performance remains same for me. Using manual mode with Camera FV-5 it is good for the most part.

4. Battery is draining quicker than before. ?

Hi, have to ask you about wifi hotspot. When i turn it on, everthing works just fine UNTIL I turn off the screen. Somehow phone disabling gsm data, and there is no way to view any page from connected device. Devices connected to this hot spot seeing each other but they can not receive or send any data to the internet. It looks like the phone turn off gsm modem just after screen is turned off. When it is off and I try to light it up, I see there is no H or 4G icon - it suddenly appear a second or two after I light it up. I do not have to unlock its enough that i press home or power and light the screen... Do you observe such a behavior? It some bug, couse while on 0702 base there was no such a issue... Yes, I do have root, exposed, gravity etc, but everything is just as the same as it was before 0811 update... Strange, please, try to turn spot on and find if my experience is repeatable... Or it is only me... Thx

Disable "Standby intelligent power saving" in the battery setting.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

Testing touchscreen "sensitivity".

1) In phone dialer, key in:

*#*#3646633#*#*

2) goto Hardware Testing

3) Touchscreen

4) Draw spiral movement from top-left going diagonally down to bottom-right corner of the screen.

Below is when drawing in "slow" movement.

Below is for "fast" spiral movement:

Now you know how good the touchscreen behaviour when typing very fast. The digitiser for this phone is horrible!!! No software/firmware patch can solve this hardware "quality".

Feedback and comments are welcome.
[Device Reviews and Information] ghiurtuv:
Thanks for your tips.I just disabled automatic backup(i just remembered i had disabled them before the update),but i let the fingerprint because he shouldn.t drain battery.From 100%-97% it drained in 3 mins.Now let.s see how it.s working with auto backup off.
[Device Reviews and Information] r_kalar_2:
Fingerprint scanner is definitely using lots of battery. It wasn't like this before the update.
[Device Reviews and Information] SimplyCity:
Thx, I've gave a try, but it's not that. No effects. Cell data is gone when I turn off the screen even if "Standby intelligent power saving" is disabled or not... Now flashed 0702 from scratch and it works ok: screen off -> cell data keeps working. Just before OTA updated to 0811 and it is still working ok. And imagine that "Standby intelligent power saving" is ENABLED all the time! I wonder what is that function for? There is possibility xposed broked something... Do not know for now... Let you know. Thx anyway
[Device Reviews and Information] Moolok:
About those white patches/blotches... Can you see one when the screen is off? I have a weird spot in my screen, it looks like a sun eclipse. It's about where the main camera is located. I hope it is just air bubble between glass and protector. I can see it both screen on and off.

Video zoom

The default cam app has the possibility to zoom during a video, but it's not smooth.

I tried other apps but they don't use the actual video camera to make the video...

Does anybody know an optional camera app with Smooth zoom?

Or its maybe another hardware limitation?
[Device Reviews and Information] Yeman56:
I have the same problem, it's very annoying, I noticed that it depends of applications.

I think it's due to a problem of partitions. The Internal and the External memory are swiped and/or the internal memory is not detected on some file manager apps like Cabinet.

[Device Reviews and Information] Phonememe:
I'm referring to s7yler video review, and also from WearySky comment about playing 20 mins of CSR racing and only hit around 42-43 degrees Celsius, that is consider good temperature with this mtk6752 and comparing to my phone Ecoo E04 that easily shoot over 50 degrees Celsius without tweaks. 2hrs SOT is abnormal low for a 3050mah battery, should be some bug with the rom or some buggy apps.
