These things are bad:

Me:

No removable battery. No fast charge. Shiped cable is poor quality. IF you keep screen on and have 8 cores runing - charge will go down while charging(ordered new cable will see if it improves). OTA updates tend to brick phone. Some screen is wasted: black borders.

Others:

Screen starts to peel off at edges for some people. 15% battery to 0% in second. Poor audio jack connector that tends to break off along with poor sound quality. No gorilla glass.

Personally would buy Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 instead of elephone 8000. If i were buying now.
[Elephone P8000] HC4Life:
Thx for your review. I think I'm already regretted...lol

As a contrasting view, and this is just my opinion based on my experience.

For what i paid for this phone I think it's great.

I run eragon and visionary kernel combo and battery lasts 2 to 3 days with 4 to 5 hours SOT, mostly wifi on and sometimes 4G. I don't have any 4G or wifi issues.

I don't think I can find anything to complain about on this phone and its 4160maH battery, except perhaps the dimensions of the phone, it is quite heavy and a bit on the thick side, but those are factors you should know before buying because they are advertised everywhere.

Battery is not easily removed, but not impossible, see youtube video id OrCdwdjEYP8 it costs about 26 dollars from vifocal website.

Phone comes with screen protector on from the factory and obtainng a tampered glass one is easy via ebay.

Cases are available also via ebay, either TPU or s-view type where the original s-view ones have a nice addition in that when closed will activate a round face clock to view through the s-view case.

No problems so far with either audio jack or peeling.

As you can see from my signature i do have other phones to compare to so not judging this phone in isolation.

Because of the dimension I'm now looking at another elphone, the S2 or M2 variants which are much nicer to look at although arguably no more superior feature-wise.

And it's easy to root and flash TWRP recovery?
[Elephone P8000] aaron.hossain75:
Mine's actually working fine I agree with the charging issue only :) It's very low Planning to buy a fast charger 5v2a to check. I didn't get the charger from Elephone..
[Elephone P8000] MikeJT:
I'd give another thumbs up for this phone - I've not experienced any issues with build quality and the combo of the Eragon Rom with visionary kernel has been the making of it.

Not forgetting the simply amazing support provided here by skeleton!
[Elephone P8000] xzyk:
yes, both TWRP and Philz modded recoveries are available, so is root and stock roms. Have a look through the thread here and you will find all you need. You can also download these from needrom website, just google for "elephone p8000 needrom". BTW I've amended the youtube video id as the original one i quoted was for a p5000. It now correctly shows the teardown for the p8000 and you will see that it is not difficult and actually better than some other china phones, as mentioned in the video.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Thanks. :)

Btw someone notice issues with 4g and visionary kernel?

A few members told me that they have no 4g connection with visionary kernel. But with stock..

As I said in my reply to the other member here, my 4G works great and I'm on O2 UK which is usually a struggle for most china phones.
[Elephone P8000] Baron1971:
My LTE / 4G works great too! German T-Mobile.
[Elephone P8000] kivulallo:
4g works for me too. as for HC4Life, i would recommend this phone too. yes it's a bit heavy, but you can always know if your phone is not in your pocket :D i have a wrong inserted camera lens, so the image is curved a very little. you can try it if you focus closely on the edge of a paper... no other problems for me. i got used to the battery drop bug, because the whole battery lasts for 2-3 days.. i don't know where others have ordered. i ordered it from europe stock, got a screen protector on it, one more spare, original 2a charger and a quality, tight usb cable. also i bought a plastic case for it. with eragon rom, this phone does its best right now, and i hope there is more to explore in it.

No problems with 4G and visionary kernel.
[Elephone P8000] Rizera:
Good:

- Battery is awesome;

- Solid build quality;

- Almost stock original ROM and, of course Eragon support;

- Excellent fingerprint sensor for a phone of this price range;

- Will get Marshmallow, even if a little late.

Bad:

- Slow battery charge regardless of charger you use (usually takes a little more than 3 hours to charge 0-100% with my best charger);

- Camera is average with good light, trash with low light;

- Shoddy performance on high 3D demanding games.

- Annoying 15% and below battery bug (10%-0% lasts just a few seconds);

- No Gorilla Glass (but at least it comes with a screen protector installed).

For this price range (I paid 169 USD), I think it is a pretty good deal for the price.

Should you have any other doubts please, let me know.

4G is working absolutely fine for me with Visionary kernel, as it was fine with stock.
[Elephone P8000] kivulallo:
PM sent to you :D
[Elephone P8000] Torcado:
Thanks for your speedy reply, Aaron!

I did that prior to asking — without success. I also did some data clearing regarding the camera app … and finally flashed the latest stock rom. Still no success, so I'm quite sure it's hardware related.

Come to think of it, the flash was always quite poor regarding brightness and my guess is, that it slowly died. Already ordered a replacement p8000 …
[Elephone P8000] emajar:
++

I have noticed sometimes while on 4g, the data shown on but not connecting. change back to 3g it picks then 4g works.....(I dirty flashed) maybe. seems problem exist or fails whenever 4g signal weak but doesnt shift to 3g aut.. Again maybe only me...

[Elephone P8000] rompip:
I used to have an issue with the fingerprint locker not locking after a second lock. This seems to be related to an app conflict with the app "P8000 ClockFace changer". Once having setup the device from scratch - and note that I have tried it several times - and NOT installed previous mentioned app, the issue doesn't happen any longer. So for those of you who might experiace same issue try out this solution. I will post it to the dev of the app and check if he has any update available as the app is kinda cool.

So probably issue is not related to dirty flash (as it did not occur to all users).
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
in v7 you want the option for app2sd ( with external sd = internal )

i will leave it normal. but optional with app2sd :)
[Elephone P8000] bluiis48:
I was big on app2sd type app for a while but after trying one for a while It was causing lots of irritating problems, so many that I uninstalled it. Also partitioning and formatting the SD card was a real pain. I was watching my SD0 space shrinking and panicked too much I think . Now I have pretty much settled down on app installations and have plenty of room left. So if it is seamless like in earlier android versions and just a switch for default app installations in settings - great - but if it is a potential problem causer, well....... And that is probably why you have been hanging back on it ?
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
i have not jumped on app2sd because it can cause some problems in system and in sdcard... i am not a fan of it.

but i can share a flashable zip for it.. so if someone wants it he can use it. :)
[Elephone P8000] RoterHugo:
Flashable zip sounds good. Wanna try it
[Elephone P8000] bluiis48:
Probably the best way to go !

Hello [MENTION=4626501]skeleton1911[/MENTION],

Infinix Hot Note (A Cellphone) has same 4200mAh battery as Elephone p8000 have. But they have a better battery performance (they have some configurations as POWER SAVER and etc). I want you to have a look at their new Lollipop version and it would be great if you can implement the same (or similar) on our p8000.

This is Thread link : http://bbs.infinixmobility.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=7880&extra=page=1
[Elephone P8000] DrStuhl:
Well, I don't think these devices are comparable :D

FHD Display vs. HD, different chipset etc. I think the battery performance is really good already :good:
[Elephone P8000] mhamzas:
I know its good but I am thinking if we can get more out of it. Plus, I've just compared the battery, nothing else :p
[Elephone P8000] MTIH1992:
Infinix Hot Note also only has 1GB ram. less ram is less ram to power, so it can last longer with the same battery as the Elephone P8000 with 3GB.

Also like Skeleton said, its only got a 720p "HD" screen, so way less pixels to power.

[Elephone P8000] rbt07:
Skeleton1911,

thank you for latest Eragon 6.7. ROM is excellent, except the Open camera. Open the camera is terrible -> is slow, GUI is terrible, quality of photos is bad in poor conditions plus shows this error message:

[IMG="Open camera error"]http://androidforum.cz/download/file.php?id=20077[/IMG]

Please can you put into the ROM camera form stock ROM? Or at least prepare a patch which withdraws Open camera and insert a stock camera? Thank you.

I like Eragon, but because of the camera will install back stock ROM.

Robert
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Already Running v7 beta myself.

:D in two days or 3 days I will upload it.

Then most troubles/problems are solved. Also the camera. [emoji14]

Gesendet von meinem Elephone P8000 mit Tapatalk
[Elephone P8000] rbt07:
Okay, but why change the original camera? Make good photos , is fast, GUI has many options - I'm satisfied with it. Why change something that works well?

And something more. Last two stock ROMs can move applications to the SD card, Eragon not. Would not be better to build Eragon on latest stock ROMs?

It would be good to focus more attention to WiFi and battery management - when the battery capacity reaches 15%, quickly falls to 0%.

It should solved in the latest stock ROM 20151203, but it was not successful, I think.

Thank you for your work. Please continue...

[Elephone P8000] MTIH1992:
For me, quick charging works great on the P8000. Its a massive battery, so yeah, it won't be 100% as quick as smaller battery phones, but a 10 minute charge can give me 10%, and 30 minutes can give me 50%. Remember that with Fast Charging, the closer to empty you are the faster it charges, but the closer it gets to being full the slower "Fast Charging" will work. Mine is on about 60% now after a full days use, I've just put it on charge and usually within half an hour it'll be on 85%.
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
You're lucky your quick charge works as it doesn't for most of us. I have tried myself with several different cables and chargers and I think the most ampage it pulls is about 1.4amps measured with USB charging tool. Takes hours to charge but that's not really a big problem for overnight charging.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
:highfive: same for me. when it has 20% left ,and i charge it . its full in 4-5 hours :)

i use the original ele cable and adapter
[Elephone P8000] mhamzas:
For me, it takes same time as yours but the Infinix phone charges within 1-2 hours. And Last long for almost 2-3 days.

Hi Skeleton!

Any chance I can replace the Music app with a different why? More specifically, I am trying to install LeTV Music App, and the ROM doesn't allow me to, but I can't understand why...my best guess is that since it has the exact same name (both are "music.apk"), it does not allow me to do it.

Thanks!
[Elephone P8000] rbt07:
Thank you Google camera is much better than Open camera. But I was also satisfied with the camera from stock ROM.

Skeleton, It would be good to focus more attention to WiFi and battery management - when the battery capacity reaches 15%, quickly falls to 0%.

The same problem was with THL 5000. The Russians solved it by changes in the core - but I do not know what changes there were.

No wifi problems with me either; all works fine - it did have an issue where I work automatically locking onto Wifi in the morning without turning it on/off, but I solved this by using advanced wifi settings and setting a static IP on the phone.

1.) go to settings>wireless options>wifi settings

2.) now click on the menu button

3.) go to "Advance options"

4.) cick on set up Static IP address

App called IP tools gave me all the info I needed from the wifi (gateway address, etc).

Maybe this would help you? There might be an IP conflict somewhere.

Sure. The latest stock from 03/12 has the swap. That means it switch the external sdcard to internal storage and vice versa..(bad solution, because sdcards are much slower then the internal storage and it can cause problems)

So I removed that..
