Hello guys!

With the black friday, I think it's time for me to buy this phone (even without OTG and I missed the 11.11) :D

Before I purchase, could you please give me your opinions about the following points? (I think I'll use eragon rom, this is why I'm asking here) :

1) Battery life / endurance ;

2) Smoothness ;

3) Performances on multitasking and web browsing (I don't play games on phone or rarely for testing).

4) Wich of the following sellers would you advise (or not)? : gearbest.com , everbuying.net , dealsmachine.com or igogo.es

5) Do you think i should wait for the vowney or p9000 (real) release?

Thank you in advance!

[MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION] (and [MENTION=3784300]BlueFlame4[/MENTION] too, even if this is not your thread ;) ) : I'd like to thank (both of) you for the great work you already did on this device even if I don't have it yet. You (two) are awesome and strentghtened my will of buying this phone.

I hope you'll continue with MM and the following android versions.
[Elephone P8000] BlueFlame4:
Thanks for your kind words! So let me answer the last question first: I'm going to continue my work as I really like to learn more things about Android internals. I won't make any promises here but as soon as CM12.1 is usable for daily usage I'll start working on CM13. With that in mind I would definitely buy the P8000 since we have full kernel sources and thus it's much more likely to work with future unofficial builds.

Your other questions:

1) Battery life is super awesome! That 4.2 AH battery is a beast :)

2) Aww, we have 3GB of RAM and multitasking and overall UI fluidness is super amazing! If you play a lot of 3D games the MT6753 is not something you should prefer but for daily tasks the phone is great!

3) Oh... yea I answered on that in 2)

4) I bought mine on comebuy so I can't comment on those sites. Comebuy's support and contact was okay at best but I got my phone eventually.

5) Already answered in prolog.

One thing you should keep in mind that is a major drawback of the P8000: It does NOT have gorilla glass which means the screen scratches really easily. I would strongly recommend buying a screen protector! All other specs are nearly too good to be true considering the price tag. I would even buy the P8000 again if mine breaks.
[Elephone P8000] nLz_phone:
The quickest workaround for it is something like "tasker".

Battery drains maybe a bit quicker but maybe that's no problem for u.

Something like " if cam is open, then 'do phone silent' "

I agree to all ur points.

The only contra I can give to the p8000 is the camera :(

Sometimes I think of my old galaxy s3 where the pictures come to my mind and they were just better... In my opinion.

Gesendet von meinem Elephone P8000
[Elephone P8000] Rizera:
I absolutely second everything that BlueFlame has mentioned above.

1) Battery life is awesome (even though for some reason it drains ultra-quick during the last 10% but other than that, this seems to be an issue that only me and some other first-gen [the no-LED version] P8000 have,. Even though, best battery life I have ever seen on a Smartphone)

2-3-5) Fluidity and UI is absolutely great, but lags on high demanding 3D games. If you want to play high-end games, you should look elsewhere (Helio X10 phones would be my guess, which are pretty much on the same price range as P8000).

4)For websites, I bought mine on Geekbuying, and everything went pretty well. Moreover, I can also recommend Gearbest as I have bought from them in the past without issues as well.

One more thing, you didn't mention that you care about the camera, but camera on this phone is just average on good light, and trash in low light. But I guess that is pretty much what you'd expect from a phone which costs this much.

If my P8000 breaks, I would probably buy a new one too!
[Elephone P8000] jerzyjerzy:
My answer below is a COMPLETE OFFTOPIC. Any admin is allowed to delete it without a warning.

I did, after a month of using the phone. Since you mention soldering and putting a cardboard in then we must have read the same thread on the Elephone's forum :D I had exactly the same symptoms as described there, even including the fact that pushing the jack toward the screen side helped for a while... :D

Soldering solved everything.

And, I do not think you can open the phone without breaking the warranty sticker (it is very fragile). Besides, have you checked the warranty conditions? They do not cover the screen or the motherboard. Or mechanical damage, or moisture damage, of course. So, basically the warranty does not cover ANYTHING. And Elephone would not send me a new audio socket, because (surprise) the audio connector is a part of a motherboard (funny guys, them). I have to admit, they have agreed to repair it in China (meaning two months without a phone).

I fixed it here, basically begging some repairman to mend soldering, because nobody wanted even to touch Elephone in any repair shop.
[Elephone P8000] arnicika:
Thank you for your answer. Yes, for sure we read the same, there are not many though.

Can you discribe little bit how you did it? Do I have to take care of sth besides what is mentioned in the video? Where is the safety strip? Did you glue the fingerprint sensor again or is it OK after pulling away, just push it back again? I'm afraid because mine is from amazon, I could send it back NP, but the seller has no stock, so I would get money back, so I could wait until in stock again and then change to a new one, I don't believe they will take it apart and look for warranty strip but who knows.

One more point, soldering. Just an iron? Just a tip of solder? On each contact or just the right middle like in the thread we both read.

Did you see the terrible work of the one who complained it doesn't work very good now? Hope I'm not so untalented [emoji16]

TBF there are ongoing issues with M so would rather wait until its right to move anyway, if its anything like the other iterations, i think a march move is wise
[Elephone P8000] MTIH1992:
Couldn't agree with this assessment more - 100% spot on.

Got mine from Gearbest who do 7-day shipping from China as standard for things over $50.

Phone cost me £109 ($159.99) and is probably the best bang for buck phone I've had, beating even the Nexus 4 that it replaced.

Feels well built, performs solidly, battery life is genuine and awesome, normal use would get 2-3 days, light use would be 3-4 days. But even on heavy use days I go to bed and its still on 50%+.
[Elephone P8000] jman0:
There's this app, called "IF by IFTTT", that lets you create automatic tasks which follow the "If xxxxx then yyyyy" pattern, so I think you can create one that says "if cam open then mute phone"

Hi,

I need help, since ROM 5.9.0 and it's still the same with the Beta, i'm constantly annoyed by the MMI TEST at first boot of the phone.

Each time i restart the phone, there is that comes in front always on top until i quit it via Task Manager because i can't read Chineses

[IMG="MMI TEST"]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/cqCIbqrw64vx4iOEtT80Wyzk_DIxZ5R4RZDiGBrWgM_iCJY3IRJ78J4L3vpCLSbciL9adKYtdezTI-4hpSxUmnjk3AnDG15IuQ8d5YMEuRq1Cx60ESgKDtXf9_riNDdJdJXleXVBcLrDua-1RrArSz9WJoWpBm0br8XagoUk1G-MwVfu5dMLpvmaRBtM9-66NOL8BW2DKo65y0J_omMZlSnKk4UqAHtgX_pHzTsaVgDchIn_WAe3ijKzSomwFr6haADnWXZiab7zWFZU35c7YyrHXbu63h-rHoCO_UFLFeZW7UNsX5Ew8Hgf4AllOAgQb3L3deq0N1mXzCXRSeRxbXteOtJ9VJLdWWIWkv1oRcV1iubhkGZ6zi4pk39eHKK9iwiQqK2OpD9UZzFku7oDOsDDavusz6wrvZ0_h6kBr_6Wfa4EAIvFzFixSsJUlQ7E6lSLGO9AaWDgS_z12nXjnu3UIq_mEkspSEiLvVldXst5FTbD4IvyNtRV9AB6rSaRNWBI3CGKC_YAf4O_1Lf0OAJnPUXcujEuFqvG0LjPO-4=w605-h1075-no[/IMG]

I can't remove it from the Autostart either.

Thanks.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:

What is it supposed to be doing?
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Good question.

The mmi test its an engineering tool to test some phone features. .

Only China phone use it. I am testing arround already to remove it in next update

Gesendet von meinem Elephone P8000 mit Tapatalk
[Elephone P8000] PegHorse:
Thanks, it works :)
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
No, I mean the ”TEST” part in its name reveals that it has a testing purpose, but being resident makes it suspicious, to say the least.

Close to the ”engineering mode” that can be brought up via code, or an app from the Play Store (which simply dials the code - nothing more).

Why is it that everybody likes to spy or steal nowadays? I can't think of any genuinely honest operating system that doesn't have some ”core routines/apps” that won't register as even present for the user, but lends it wide open to its makers. Google is hard to trust anyway, but how about Chinese phone makers?

Glad you're taking that part out, skel! :)
[Elephone P8000] MTIH1992:
Werid, had no idea that was even a thing!
[Elephone P8000] CodeParadise:
Thank you for your work on CM and kernel.

I do agree with your assessment of the P8000 apart from the last paragraph. The P8000 comes with two plastic screen protectors on its screen and a spare one in the box. After I removed the first screen protector, I didn't know there was second one on top. The second screen protector scratched easily and I regretted not purchasing a tempered glass screen protector. But on careful investigation, I realised it was a screen protector so I peeled it off to expose the glass. I don't know if it is Gorilla Glass or not but I run a key over it and it didn't scratch. I use this phone like any other and I haven't seen any scratches so far yet on the glass.

So I wouldn't worry much about getting scratches on this phone with its glass screen. Consequently, I didn't see the need of purchasing a tempered glass screen protector.
[Elephone P8000] jman0:
It isn't Gorilla Glass, so I wouldn't try the key trick again. Don't discard the tempered glass, you can get it at a good price and it's got great value
[Elephone P8000] CodeParadise:
Now you got me curious and experimenting. I did the key trick again, this time applying much pressure. Still no scratch. It is a pretty good glass screen. There is this trick I also use to check for scratches (tilting the phone so that the screen reflects against light). None on the P8000 but I could see some little scratches on my Samsung Galaxy S4 which has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.

I didn't get the tempered glass screen protector. I was about to before I discovered the glass screen beneath the second plastic screen protector.
[Elephone P8000] Brewn:
Well, gorilla glass is just a trademark, there are many other flavors of scratch resistant glasses (dragontrail, ...). I suppose there is some kind of similar glass on the P8000 as well. On my P8000 I found the plastic screen protector it came with to be pretty good so far. I have not had the need to peel it off and mount a tempered glass yet...

Anyways, this is very much Off Topic and should go in some other thread.

[MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION] Regarding MMITest - now that you mention it I would also rather not have a suspect chinese app run in the background. Would be great if it could be "gone" in the next update ;).

The biggest downer on this phone for me is still the lack of encryption. Can you assess how much effort is involved to get encryption up and running? I know someone tried to activate the feature, but to no avail...
[Elephone P8000] nikunj87:
Guys, I have just now got my hands on a shiny new P8000. My hands are twitching to install Eragon.

Is there a simple startup point for me to get on with this. Reading so far, from what I have understood - no need to unlock bootloader, root the phone. Just flash cwm with sp flashtool and install the stable version of Eragon rom. With regards to this - is there a startup guide or a quick overview of how do I get started.

This may be slightly offtopic - and happy to move this somewhere else but a quick answer from someone will really be appreciated and writing here as this thread has most visibility - Before I flash Eragon rom - I have to make sure there are no manufacturing defects that are experienced/highlighted by you cool people. Is there a list I should check to make sure things common issues are not present. I have checked the notification light is working, wifi looks good, I am testing both the sim trays at the moment, will test bluetooth audio skipping - anything else I should check before voiding my warranty on first day.

Thanks
[Elephone P8000] Brewn:
You should check the headphone jack and see if your display is evenly lit.

Regarding the flashing procedure: install recovery via sp-flash, then flash eragon via cwm. Done.
[Elephone P8000] nikunj87:
I tried installing SuperSu from playstore and it worked and rooted my phone after a restart. I can confirm as Flashify now gives me an option to install recovery. Can you please advise, which recovery to install.

Under Flash - I get option 1. Boot Image 2. Recovery image 3. Zip File.

I have downloaded PhilzP8000 v2 recovery. When I select this (under zip file option) - It asks me for my current recovery. Can someone help on how to proceed.
[Elephone P8000] Brewn:
For the first installation of a recovery I have used sp-flash (I downloaded a stock ROM image and it when trying to flash it the tool asked if I wanted to install a recovery first). I don't know if it's possible to use flashify without already having a recovery installed...
[Elephone P8000] CodeParadise:
Extract recovery.img from PhilZ_recovery_P8000_v2.zip and flash the .img with flashify. Select option 2 (recovery image option).
[Elephone P8000] nikunj87:
Thank you very much. One thing just before going ahead. Because, I was able SuperSu directly, I read somewhere that the bootloader may be unlocked. It has been suggested that bootloader should be locked - is there a way I can check that, or it does not matter?
[Elephone P8000] CodeParadise:
I'm not sure about that. [MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION] should be able to shed insight on that.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
You dont need to unlock the bootloader. If you did not touch the bootloader in the past ,it is locked. Its fine. Just flash recovery and flash the ROM ;)
