Vibe UI ROM haven't this setting. But it smoother than stock ROM itself

Guys, check you, please, if on your screen appeared white dots. My screen was clear, but after a week of using starts to growing up several white dots, good viewed on white screen. I think it's because overheating of the phone and now i'm ready to send it back for full refund. I've got the same advice from Ulefone support, but it's not solving a problem. I think, the phone built not correctly and MTK now stop to provide this SoC 6752 and all new phones built on 6753. It's mean, they not support it in future and we'll not get updates for 6752.

By myself i think it was mistake to purchase BT2 and i think to add some money and buy something on 6795 like a LeTV x600 or ZUK Z1.

Sorry for my english, but i hope, you're understand what i mean..
[Device Reviews and Information] WearySky:
I've been using mine for about a week... I like it, but man it gets HOT if you're gaming for any amount of time (20 minutes of CSR racing and it gets up to 42/43 degrees Celsius). Also, auto iso seems to be broken, at least in the stock camera app. Can't seem to find a custom recovery for it, yet (unless using one from a different phone with similar hardware would work?).

Guys, thanks for all your inputs. I am currently waiting for my Ulefone Be Touch 2 to arrive, and I am very pleased to read your opinions.

Please, keep them coming. Specially the ones regarding the issues of the phone.

Additional findings:

- As suspected, the Lollipop build (latest ROM 20150702) on this phone is LRX21M, which is 5.0 - so 5.1 in build.prop is a lie

- UI animations are choppy, almost like there is 30fps cap somewhere

- there does not seem to be a second, noise-cancelling microphone anywhere

- lack of LED notification light is annoying as well as pinkish hue on the screen

- haven't done proper battery tests yet, but it seems to drain very quickly when using the phone (it is probably not true 3Ah)

- as far as I can tell there is no way to root this thing for now, I might mount system.img and inject supersu manually into the image before flashing...

Good morning people. My first posting here . I also bought a Ulefone Be Touch 2. But it will take to come here because in Brazil it is very slow.

It is to do a test and post some photos taken with the front camera ( selfie ) with the flash on ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Rizera:
Aszu, thanks for your feedback.

5.1 could actually be a reality from a Software update (if there are going to be any, we could put pressure on Ulefone with that somehow) and same for UI animations. Moreover, did you try to look this up on Developer Options? (I am assuming you did. If so, sorry to ask). Is the call quality in general good? How about the touch screen? Are there any other issues you could notice?

Also, would you please care to run a PCMark test, in order to get a benchmark for the battery?

Best regards,

[Device Reviews and Information] gilbertp23:
I've got a Be Touch 2 and ran the update the morning, took forever to figure out installing the drivers on my Windows 8 PC, but it can easily be done if you install drivers manually instead of using the auto install app.

Some quick things:

- My media volume bar, which wasn't present prior to update is still absent. No way to adjust volume prior to playing media sound that I can find

- It goes through the expected setup screens on first boot now, I was even able to restore a profile from a different phone, unlike out of the box where it just went straight to desktop

- Camera used to lag major in low light.. doesn't seem to lag as much but its still present

- I was in a quiet room by myself, but I am pretty sure the speakers are MUCH louder now

- Unsure but input lag could be improved, the phone had issues keeping up with me when I typed at first, but this seems improved slightly.. not 100% about this

Happy to see an update so quickly to this device, gives me hope that more optimizations will come.
[Device Reviews and Information] Guerreiro_BR:
Worth the $ 200.00 ? the cost and benefit. The smartphone is impressive ? Very Good?
[Device Reviews and Information] WearySky:
Which update did you do? The one from July 2?

The media volume thing is standard for all AOSP lollipop builds on these Chinese phones. Once we can get a custom recovery installed, XPosed framework is a good way to get back a) explandable volume panel; and b) multiple separate volumes (this is my one big hatred for the Chinese AOSP lollipop roms).

I'll be interested in the volume improvement, as I already found the speaker to be significantly louder than the Elephone P7000 (which is dismally quiet).

Oh, and to the person claiming that the battery isn't 3000 mAh? I disagree - I get very similar battery life to the K3 Note. The only thing is, if you are doing anything processor intensive (like game playing), it drains the battery like a mofo (because it heats up like craaaaazy). I'm going to do a wifi YouTube test for a real battery drainer - got 5.5 hours with the K3 note, 6.5 hours with the Elephone P7000... I'll expect to see similar (ish) to the K3 note with this one.
[Device Reviews and Information] xcen3x:
Does it uses ART or Dalvik out of the box?
[Device Reviews and Information] WearySky:
Aren't all Lollipop builds using ART? (ignorant runtime newbie here)

be touch 2 - review

My review thus far of the be touch 2

battery life is actually about 2 hours with minimal use even! i.e. facebook, one call, internet and email apps on a 45 minute train journey and the battery is down to less than twenty percent! and thats with the screen on the lowest lighting. the phone overheats constantly - sits around 70 most of the time even with no apps open and nothing installed on the stock rom. the camera on the back gets almost too hot to touch if being used for more than twnety mins. finger print scanner is no where near as good as the iphone. Antutu real benchmark is barely 4000 with the stock - all in all looks a good phone but you need a battery pack still and also an ice pack for the back of the phone!!!!

the camera is excellent - pictures are very good quality and you can zoom a lot and the image still stays clear and text can be read.

quite often the call log will take a while to show or not show at all.

price is good for what you get, but hardware is not utilizing the battery properly at all. compared to even an iphone 4 - the iphone 4 kicks ass on battery life of the be touch 2 (i have both) - I am hoping i have a faulty battery.....

---------- Post added at 10:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

i am shocked too! my be touch 2 lasts about a couple of hours with just facebook use or messenger!! i was on the train for forty five mins today - 100% when i got on, i used facebook and facebook messenger and email and the internet, got off the train forty five mins later (brightness is set to minimum, bluetooth is off, wifi is off) and i had less than 20% left!

this is with just the stock rom out of the box.

it heats up to over 70 (clean master app)

either i have a faulty battery or you got a better battery than me!!!!!

CWM for Be Touch 2

I had some spare time and managed to port CWM to Be Touch 2, this is based on Be Touch '1' version ('chinaphonearena-cwm').

Not sure if there are any bugs, but it is good enough to flash SuperSU.

Enjoy.
[Device Reviews and Information] aszu:
In terms of battery, the meter seems to be flaky, I just ran the geekbench test and it sit on 1% for an hour:

http://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/77945

The result is not spectacular, just OK - but less than what s7yler got.

So make sure drain the battery completely before assessing its life - this meter issue might hopefully fix itself after a couple of full charge / discharge cycles.
[Device Reviews and Information] u01brb2:
i have been draiing the battery and then doing a full charge, - probably done this about 15 times now - not a speck of difference sadly - i think i need a replacement battery.......

I finally got my Ulefone Be Touch 2 on last friday. So that makes it now Day 4 with BT2. Here's some of my thoughts and experiments so far:

- build quality is great, feels like a premium phone

- I'm on july firmware, still unrooted

- SIM card is in slot 2 (microSIM) and no problems there: 3G/4G, SMS, telephone calls all work as intended

- I had to insert APN settings manually and enable roaming for my carrier to get data flowing which was expected, so no suprises there

- wifi is strong

- bluetooth works fine with Pebble (haven't tried my BT-headphones yet)

- GPS works fine; getting first fix took a minute or two but now I can get a fix in few seconds; I use GPS/A-GPS so location mode is on high accuracy; I went jogging few times using Endomondo and the GPS signal was every time excellent, the route I took was accurate on maps and time/distance also so I'm very happy with GPS which was my biggest concern about this phone; navigation with car is so far untested though

- 3.5mm headphone out works fine, no interference and sound is pretty good

- I have Sandisk 64gb microSDXC UHS-1 card installed and no problems there either; it's configures as default write disc

- I disabled ALL and that did smooth UI scrolling and I have had no problems with the UI (I use Nokia's Z-launcher btw)

- I also disabled from developer options the new NU-player as someone here succested and so far my phone has not crashed/freezed once; I did reboot few times on Day 1 but not since and there's been no reason to do so frankly

- fingerprint scanner works 9 times out of 10, very happy with it; I did like someone succested here and scanned only one finger but four times from different angles, that seems to be a good way to ensure clear reading

- battery could last a bit longer but I should be ok for a day if it is fully charged at the morning

- camera is good at least in bright daylight, not tested on dark/darkish yet; single shot and HDR takes fine pictures but it seems BT2 can't save pictures in RAW (I'm using A Better Camera Unlocked); panoramas don't work for some reason, that not good

- I tried some playing (mostly World of Tanks Blitz!) and no problems there

All in all I'm very happy with this phone so far considering the price. No regrets up to this point.
[Device Reviews and Information] teabag7:
O = Overheating! Not only on back like most of new phones, but the display overheating too, after several days of using appearing on display white spots.

WiFi= not average, wifi very bad, pretty not usable. In 3-4meters from router, the signal drops half, and if you have the wall or two between them, in my situation, for example, the signal drops from 40mbit near router to 0.6-3.0mbit. On my LG G2 the signal still 16-18mbit.

I'd like to return my phone after 2 weeks of using. I never had so bad and so problematic phone.

[Device Reviews and Information] androFRUST:
Don't want to go off topic here but, I ordered a BT2 from gearbest. Decided to go for the free shipping method because, heck why not. Ordered it on 3rd August and on the 11th it says under transportation (PostNord). I am shipping this phone from China to Malaysia. Its now the 17th and it still says under transportation. not sure why they are using swedish post which seems illogical since its within the same region. Anyone had any experiences with Gearbest? How was your waiting times like? and, am I going to get this phone by this month, or (scary thought) ever?
[Device Reviews and Information] azeemzuhair:
I dunno about GearBest shipping experience. But, if imported smart gadget from oversea to Malaysia without proper "documentation" from resellar, most likely the device will be stuck at immigration / SIRIM for import fee to be cleared.

I advice u to keep monitoring the parcel via given tracking number so that u know when it will arrive here in Malaysia.

The 3050mAh battery performance :

Mode : 100% airplane

WiFi : 100% on

Bluetooth : off

GPS : off

Alive/idle : 18 hours

Screen brightness : lowest without adaptive.

Conclusion :

With similar usage pattern, my ASUS ZenFone 2 @ 5.5" 720P can achieve 7 hours SOT. So, the stock Ulefone battery is indeed 3050mAh capacity.

Lowest screen brightness is really bright. So, the SOT above can be extended if the lowest brightness level is adjusted further.

The last 1% battery can last 30 minutes. But, perhaps after calibration (3 times), it should perform normally.

[Device Reviews and Information] azeemzuhair:
Overheating is the issue of MT6752. Hence, most new phones now using MT6753 instead. MediaTek has stopped supporting MT6752 (unknown source) because of the overheating issue. LeMoto K3 Note also using MT6752 and has the same overheating issue. Thus, if we gaming and GPS a lot on MT6752, no doubt the experience is smooth but at the same time be prepared to face overheating and poor battery life.

Poor WiFi performance can be mitigate by changing the Wi-Fi channel in the router settings. I use Channel 9 with 802.11 n only. Do not use a/b/g/ac. MediaTek SoC is very particular in the Wi-Fi banding combination. Try different combo to see which is best for ur unit.

Just some first hand experience of upgrading today (from the July ROM which I had updated via their website Support routine and USB etc) with a WiFi download...

Settings... About Phone... Wireless Update... Update available... downloaded very quickly... Update now... did an unpack & reboot then Android graphic updating... then reboot and Ulefone logo for disconcertingly long time before dialog "Android is upgrading... Optimising app # of 120" count up, again for a seemingly long time (ie few minutes in reality).. All ended with a "Update hint... Installation Successful.. OK" and now 20150811 version.

re WiFi on the latest ROM - I'm getting excellent results on 5GHz ie almost the same as my wired PC on a 38Mbps down/10Mbps up fibre link ie around 35/9@12ms.

Easily re-root again after update.

Yes. Just repeat the process via sideload TWRP (if you maintain stock recovery). Else, if you have permanently flash TWRP (like my case), just flash SuperSu again to regain root. You can put the SuperSu.ZIP file either in the root directory of the internal 16GB ROM or ext SD card.

WiFi Reception test tool

Strongly suggest this:

This app can measure your WiFi signal strength in dB units. It's not the WiFi speed that you need to test. It's supposed to be WiFi Reception strength. the better the reception strength,the better the speed will be (theoretically).

If you are rooted, you MUST fully UNROOT first via SuperSU settings. Else, you will end up bootloop.

If bootloop, you can take out the battery, and flash back the stock recovery "ONLY" using "SP Flash Tool" method. No need to flash a brand new/full ROM. You don't wanna loose all your precious data, right? So, just flash back the stock recovery ONLY.
[Device Reviews and Information] fractaluser:
Im not really worried about the speeds of the wifi, its more of the connection sustainability. Before i could use wifi for 10 seconds and then it would stop, i had to put the wifi off, then on again and use it for 10 seconds to repeat these steps. VERY annoying. But seems there are some good things in this update, and i do hope this problem is gone now. Will have to wait until i get home to do as azeemzuhair has posted here, flash back the stock recovery. Btw any idea on where to find it? =) I didnt make any backups before doing the flash, was so long ago i did all this that i had forgot how important it was to keep the original =/
