Hello, can anybody please answer if both SIM slots support 4G (or at least 3G), or does one have to switch the SIM cards if one wants to use the high-speed internet of the carrier of the second SIM card?
[Device Reviews and Information] nardonardi:
both Sim support 4G, ciao
[Device Reviews and Information] Rizera:
Even though I have seen hundreds of Dual SIM phones, I do not remember, in my whole life, seeing a cellphone that supports 4G on both SIM slots at the same time. Can anyone prove me wrong here?

As far as I know, this is a Dual SIM stand-by phone, meaning that you can change at anytime which SIM is going to use the 4G network, HOWEVER, when one of the SIMs is on 4G network, the other is mandatorily on the 2G network, and vice-versa.
[Device Reviews and Information] mlahor:
Thanks. I know I cannot use 4G on both SIMs on the same time, but I have read that for example on Lenovo Note only one SIM slot is 4G-capable, so one would have to physically switch SIMs. I understand that in contrast in Be Touch 2 one can switch which SIM is working with 4G in the options menu.
[Device Reviews and Information] nardonardi:
I correct, in effect, a is in the 4G other in 2G
[Device Reviews and Information] mlahor:
So, in the end, can I in other words put the SIM card I want to use 4G with in either of the two SIM slots? Or does only SIM slot 1 support 4G as is the case with ASUS Zenfone 2?

Can anybody please try switching the 4G-active card in the settings menu? This is very important to me as I often need to switch the SIM for data and it would be much more convenient to switch it via the phone settings rather than physically swap the SIM cards in their slots.
[Device Reviews and Information] WearySky:
I can confirm that you can switch it in the settings. My second sim doesn't support 4G, but it supports 3G and it switched over no problem. No need to physically swap sims.

After recording something with the back camera in snapchat, the video playback has green lines to the right of the video. The front camera works fine.

Something similar to this:

Gorilla glass 3 on the Be Touch 2?

How can we know if there is any gorilla glass 3 on the be Touch 2?

It is not on the official list at corninggorillaglass.com/en/products-with-gorilla/full-products-list ( I cannot post links yet)

That s maybe why i got it with the screen protector on it? That must be the chinese version of gorilla glass :silly:

BTW: The phone works well it looks good... battery life should be extended... i remember why i was so happy with my jiayu G4s : could do 2 days without power/charging.

I signed the petition.

I have the same issue. Its a Snapchat problem I think, if you have Xposed installed u could use snapprefs to send video from your gallery, that works fine.

While I'm on the subject of Xposed, does anyone know why, when I install it it does something to the colours of some notification icons in the status bar? Any work around?
[Device Reviews and Information] gibs:
Yep, It's the fakezilla.
[Device Reviews and Information] Danacy:
Turning off AAL didn't do much for me but with the Nokia Z Launcher I experience no lag at all. I must that the foil screen protector that was already on the device did prevent smooth input; I removed it and replaced it with the blue light tempered glass filter and now everything is very smooth.
[Device Reviews and Information] Moolok:
Excellent! I use Z Launcher too and been very happy with it. Also I have ordered similar tempered glass protector.

So it might be or might not be. You would have thought that the makers of Gorilla glass would be happy to let us know in any case or maybe the bigger phone makers have them gagged.
[Device Reviews and Information] ExaPaw:
Holy cows, that actually works! You rock, man. Before I turned it from 10 to 100, I had terrible input lags. But now it's as it's supposed to be.

I wonder if there are any disadvantages to this, though. :confused:
[Device Reviews and Information] Guerreiro_BR:
I do not know what will be the impact of the change. I put the value 50 and was also very good. Perhaps 100 is a high value. The major had a significant improvement. The slow typing response was killing me with rage

[Device Reviews and Information] Iwholden:
Has anyone got the fingerprint scanner working with 5.1 ROM port?
[Device Reviews and Information] gibs:
It's simple : there is no change.

Just type 10 time the same key very fast (with 10 and 100).

BTW. On my Oukitel this setting is set at 10.

[Device Reviews and Information] ExaPaw:
There is a change:

Leave the value at 10

Go to HandWriting and move your finger quickly across the screen in a diagonal line

You'll notice that the green crosshair severely lags behind (ca. 1cm)

Change the value to 100

Important: Reboot your phone

Go into HandWriting and do the same motion as before

You'll notice that the lag is much smaller than before - seemingly non existent
[Device Reviews and Information] jlev:
Thanks to everyone for the past 120 pages of advice. The summary so far is that the Ulefone Be Touch 2 is not without its issues but it's a decent phone overall, especially considering the price.

As for me, my Be Touch 2 suffers from the white square issue, the unresponsive touchscreen issue, the uncalibrated battery issue and the display brightness/blue light issue.

Regarding the white square issue, it seems the issue is physical. I'm not happy but fine to accept this as "tax" for buying a cheap Chindroid phone. If someone finds out how to fix it I'll try it.

The unresponsive touchscreen issue is my biggest annoyance. It feels like 2009 when Android phones were embarrassingly unresponsive compared to iPhones. I'm ashamed to show my phone to Apple fanbois precisely because of this issue. The solutions proposed so far are disabling AAL in the MTK Engineering Tools (small difference), using the 2.5D screen protector (made it worse), and now this tpd_em_auto_time_interval fix which appears hopeful. Speaking of this fix, I can't get the value to save to 100. Any idea what I might be doing wrong here? It keeps reverting to 10.

I've pretty much fixed the battery issue, though I'm not sure what exactly did it. Calibration, turning down the brightness, a few full cycle discharges (using DisableCriticalBatteryShutdown in Xposed).

Regarding the blue light issue, I was getting a headache from using the phone. I already had Twilight installed so I just set it on permanently and it has made things a lot more bearable.
[Device Reviews and Information] gibs:
When I reboot it rollback to value 10.

is it possible to go back to the July firmware without loosing all the apps and data?
[Device Reviews and Information] ExaPaw:
Yeah, looks like it reverts to 10 after a reboot. Though I could swear that it stayed 100 yesterday and noticeably reduced the lag.

Maybe it's just a placebo. I don't know.

Sent mine back to Gearbest on friday. Bought a vodafone smart ultra 6 and its so much better.

Main issues were:

Bright spots on display

really poor bluetooth strength, smart ultra has 2 to 3 times its BT strength.

Rubbish touch response, especially when typing and just general swiping here a theres ALWAYS a lag.

Battery would not calibrate.

Gets real hot when gaming - near the camera.

Just too many issues for a daily driver for me and now using the smart ultra 6 i am so much happier, everything is snappy and smooth, touch response is excellent, bluetooth/wifi is strong and the screen is excellent.
[Device Reviews and Information] Duskfall:
Guys anyone with a be touch 2 with 5.1 lolipop which is supposed to be smoother? I am on the verge of this one or Umi Iron which doesn't have battery issues it seems. Any opinions?
[Device Reviews and Information] Poped:
The phone itself have awsome hardware (same tbh like rest of the same in that price-range) and i think it will be great when we get real 5.1 or some custom rom. As it is now i lean to small dissapointment with their software-handling... But im hopefull. My phone went from good to bad performance with the august update. From 45k AnTuTu to 29k-40k depending on if i do test right after a reboot or after some usage. So that im not happy with. Battery seemed to get a hit with my august-update aswell. No white-spots as of yet and i prAlso find that its not that smooth in ui that i expected from that kind of hardware. All i blame the software and their screwed-up rom for. I would hope someone handy-man here on xda would give this phone some proper love that it deserve and manage to bake a pure aosp 5.1 or maybe a cm12.1. I know i would try if i had the know how in my blood. Sadly i missed the train on that skill and now i think its to late to learn. Will be a Be touch 52 before i manage to bake something. Well this is my review of this phone after having it for 1 week. I still think its a good buy because i have faith in them turning their rom into a working one. Ive seen other chinese-phones with smooth working aosp so this can do it aswell.
[Device Reviews and Information] Dj_senjaya:

July rom

Hi ,

where can I download the july rom?

pls disregard.Found it.
[Device Reviews and Information] Mods5:
Please help

Hey there glad you took that step as I am facing exactly the same problems

Just one question though

How did you manage to do that

Was that process also a pain in the a**

Or was it a simple process

Best regards
[Device Reviews and Information] Elusivo:
1 - I also have a high battery discharge rate when the phone is idle (screen off).

I think it's because of the fingerprint scanner, there's a process called fpsvcd (fingerprint service daemon?) that makes use of 100% cpu cycles while the screen is off, and at least in my case it uses the cpu for hours, not always at 100% but it prevents the phone to go to deep sleep and uses a lot of cpu % for nothing, that's what is draining my battery with the screen off, maybe for you guys too.

2 - Btw, when you do the fingerprint scanner test at *#*#33#*#* how does the fingerprint in the little square show up, quality wise?

In mine the image is very soft and greyish making it dificult to see the lines of the fingerprint, but, I also have an elephone p7000 and in that one the fingerprint image in the square is really sharp and show the finger lines really dark and when unlocking the it never fails, in the ulefone bt2 it fails quite a bit.

3 - Another thing, how is ur screen regarding dead pixels (bright tiny dots in a black image on full screen, easier seen in full brightness)? In my elephone p7000 I have zero dead pixels, in this ulefone I have almost 30 dead pixels, never saw so many dead pixels in any phone I owned before...

4 - One last thing, some apps show up in the play store website as incompatible with the ulefone bt2, they don't even show up in the android play store app, such as asphalt 8 or farm heroes saga, is it just me?
[Device Reviews and Information] jlev:
Elusivo if you have so many dead pixels then surely you should be speaking with the company from which you bought it. Please let us know what they say.
[Device Reviews and Information] shohid1234:
The process was actually quiet easy, contacted gearbest to complain about the display, when they were not able to help i asked to return it. They gave me something to print out and add when I sent it back.

I my experience gearbest have been very good, would recommend them to anyone interested in china phones.
[Device Reviews and Information] Andy4Shurr:
These past few days I've been using the Elephone P8000 that I also ordered and I've got to say, the difference in use is massive. It feels so much more responsive and fluid. No delay in any apps, i flick the screen and it flies. The Be Touch 2 isn't horrific by any means but after testing them side by side I'm not sure if the BT2 would just annoy me now.

I also installed the vibe port for the Be Touch 2 and in screen responsiveness and in chrome/other apps I can't see the difference. I'm not so sure that any software release will improve it. Could it be that the kernels released by mediatek are just not up to it for this 6752 SOC? It would be interesting to see if anyone has another 6752 phone and can compare.

I really like the hardware and design of the Be Touch 2 so I'm really gutted, i just hope I'm wrong and Ulefone can pull it out the bag with the next update.
[Device Reviews and Information] gibs:
If you are still expecting something from Ulefone then you missed some post here.

Do you have another 6752 device (the p7000, lenovo etc)? I'm wanting someone to say whether it still has responsiveness issues and whether it's the mediatek kernels or not.

Hello from Wiesbaden Germany!

I really like the hardware of my BT2. But…

It doesn’t work. It shuts down itself at least every half an hour. I went through the blog and found the advice to recalibrate the G-Sensor. It didn’t work. I downloaded the August update, it didn’t help! Any advice from your site? Will another rom solve the problem? What rom is your favourite today?

Any help very much appreciated!

My BT2 has some issues with reading the sim cards.. i had a second sim installed into the second sim slot, i was in thailand at the time. Now back home, i wouldve thought that turning on the phone would have done the reverse, where the second sim would have no service and the first would pop up.. but instead it showed no service in the first sim and second sim. Tried restarting and reinserting the sim with no luck. But i got my home sim to work by switching slots to the 2nd, so now i know at least its not a sim card problem. I see an option in the settings menu but it just shows only one sim card.. hope its not broken .. TT

[Device Reviews and Information] Moolok:
I got yesterday my tempered glass protector. I removed the stock protector which was plastic I think.

Glass protector is great but installation was a pain. I tried four times and still couldn't get it perfect. Arched screen glass makes it very difficult. If you put protector half a millimeter too much toward either side it would not fit perfectly and it stays a bit loose at the edge. It's not gonna fall off mind you but you can see where it's not completely attached.

But anyway glass protector feels great, looks great and finger moves more smoothly upon it as compared to a plastic one.

[Device Reviews and Information] Andy4Shurr:
The BT2 was being used as my daily driver for over a week. It's more than capable but it just doesn't feel as responsive and as sharp as my P8000. It only became more noticeable after using them side by side or straight after each other. I'm sure there are people that are happy with the BT2 and use it as their daily driver. It's just when on facebook or in chrome for example, when you fling the page it doesn't just fly and scroll smoothly down the whole page like it does on my P8000. That's the thing I really would like to compare, you would probably need 2 phones side by side though :/
[Device Reviews and Information] jlev:
This!!

If this can be fixed I will be content. Until then I can't really recommend the Be Touch 2 to any of my friends who ask.
[Device Reviews and Information] Andy4Shurr:
Well this is exactly the same using the other ROM so I don't think it's going to be fixed with a software/rom update or optimisation. They may need to re-write kernels which I'm not sure they are capable of doing (although they are now apparently using different devs... freelance ones from xda so who knows).

Just a small question.

I saw that the Lenovo K3 Note uses the same SoC as the Be Touch 2.

I went to their site and the kernel source seems to be available to download.

Can anyone confirm?

The link is:

http://support.lenovo.com/in/hi/products/phones/k-series/k3-note

It's the 3.10.61 kernel.

The HTC Desire 820s also has the kernel source code available here:

Also from Lenovo, the A7000 and A7000 Plus use the same SoC. And kernel source code is available.
