Ah. I guess that's the reason. I was thinking of the Champagne version, but my girlfriend thought it would look a bit gay.. lol

So took the darker version I guess that was a bad choice. At the time it was still over a week before the phones were supposed to be delivered(the 15th) and I didn't have any thoughts about out of stock phones from the start.

Unboxing video

Hi guys, my Doogee F5 shipped out last week from GearBest, after being ordered at September 27, can't wait to get it, but here I found I think the most in-depth unboxing currently out there, if anyone's interested:

add this after youtube com watch?v= :

(Cant post full link because of being a new user at XDA)

Name of the video:

Doogee F5 Unboxing And Hands On - MediaTek MT6753 - 3GB Ram 5.5"

And by the way, if anyone's intersted in porting CM or AOSP to it, I'd be happy to participate, but I won't be able to do it myself alone, because I don't want to lose my warranty on it. After the warranty expires if noone starts beforehand, Ill start developing it.
[Device Reviews and Information] danrdanr:
Delivered two days ago. The battery capacity seems to be lower than advertised 2600 . Android shows estimed lifetime 26 hours with one SIM and no activity, no apps - just lying on table all day :confused:

Yesterday I got an email from banggood apologizing for the lengthy delay. Nice touch from them, I haven't contacted them nor asked about the delay.

Nevertheless a bit funny, I preordered it with the expection that it'll be shipped on 15. October, on 9.November they apologize for the lengthy delay and ask if I can wait until 14.November or if I want to cancel. Ehmm I think I can wait those extra five days :)

I ordered the gray one, but I'm continuoulsy thinking about trying to change to the silver one. They don't look very different on the generic pictures at gearbest, but how do they compare in reality?
[Device Reviews and Information] AsgardCurse:
Today I got the message that it's shipped... YaaaY

Soon time to start figure out how to root it and install custom stuff.(I really don't care about the warranty, it's not like I'm gonna send it to China for eventual fixing if something happens for the same money a new phone would cost)

I'm still waiting to get my Doogee F5 but I was searching for root info and I found this twitter post.

#SRSRoot: DOOGEE F5 (Build: DOOGEE-F5-Android5.1-20151022) #Android 5.1 Now Supported for #Root at SRSRoot . com

I do not know much about SRSRoot but they are saying it's supported.

I was told today mine "might" be 7-15 days by gearbest. I WANT MY PHONE.....

That review that was posted the guy is saying he's not sure it's Gorilla Glass. Everything I've seen says it has it. Anyone confirm that it is actually Gorilla Glass. How well do those 0.3 mm glass overlays work. I've always have had "Invisible Shield" on my phones but I can't find a cut to fit version that's big enough for this phone. I am disappointed that the back of the phone is plastic according to the video. I wanted a full metal outer body.

I hope that SRSRoot is valid and works.

I tested with srsroot also but didn´t detect the phone saying adb device not detected, and I couldn´t find the drivers anywhere, universal adb drivers don´t work with my windows 8.1 64 bits

Hi I have a question, I am owner of F5,so I'd like to know does this device support MHL connection to HDMI,I mean to connect my smartphone to TV...
[Device Reviews and Information] G-GFFD:
After 7 months of use, my camera cover looks like this:

[IMG="photo of scratched camera cover"]https://img2.picload.org/image/rgiipora/f5.png[/IMG]

I've just returned from a citytrip with some friends, I didn't get one single useable picture. Everything is blurred, and sometimes colors are diffrent between multiple photos taken at the same location . . .

The camera was never perfect, but now it's really bad. My friends have "normal" phones like the Nexus 5X or Iphones, their photos look so much better.

Anyone else having similar issues? It's really a shame, everything else (well apart from the occasional wifi issue, but I got that more or less under control) is fine and I love this phone.

I found this part on aliexpress: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig..._2&btsid=26f9964a-df84-4cd2-886e-1aecebd0a8d2

However I'm not sure if it's the right part, on their image it looks like it's the lense inside with the black ring, not the glass (or more plastic) cover on the outside I need.
[Device Reviews and Information] fotocreaman:
I'm very happy with the camera. Far better than the one plus for example. I use the plastic protection that came with the phone and the phone and camera are in good shape. (Phone is also 7 months)
[Device Reviews and Information] AsgardCurse:
I think it might be the right part. Hard to know without removing it from your own phone and check. But I think, without knowing, that the black ring is included in the glass/plastic cover.

However... What have you done to your poor phone?

I've had my F5 a similar time, got it October/November some time, not sure about the date, but ordered it as a pre-order.

My lens cover is spot free, and I can't say that I've been super careful with the F5, just normally like not putting it in the same pocket as my keys or coins(too often) and using the plastic case.

As you can see on my picture, the plastic case doesn't look too nice, while the camera glass/plastic/whatever is totally OK.

MHL

Hi I have a question, I am owner of F5,so I'd like to know does this device support MHL connection to HDMI,I mean to connect my smartphone to TV... I have asked this few days ago but nobody have answered me yet,so please if someone know something to give me an answer... :confused: ?

Not sure about MHL but you can still mirror your phone screen on TV via wireless display (if the TV supports it too).

Doogee F5 don't have MHL

Today I got my new MHL adapter and when I tested it on both Doogee f5 ( my brother also ) and TV did not react.Therefore, I advise not to buy a MHL device if you plan to use with Doogee f5 , because obviously Doogee phones do not have built in pin for MHL....I bought it and now I'm selling it, poor me.... :crying: :D

Which is why I was curious.

I've gotten myself a new phone now (Huawei P9), so I guess it's time to remove the old root you once gave us all and do some updates. Except for the root, my F5 is still on the original ROM it came with, no updates, since the need to unroot first, and I used it as daily driver. OK, I still got my Swedish SIM-card in it, but that number will only exist for 2 more weeks(until July 21).

Guys, please let me know when Our device upgrade to Marshmallow .
[Device Reviews and Information] prisoner1969:
I know doogee said July. I was worried when the update came out in the beginning of July that Marshmallow would not come out this month for our phone. I hope I'm wrong but it seems like a lot of the Chinese companies forget about any major updates to the phones and only put out minor updates and bug fixes. I really would like to see a major update to Marshmallow but I'm not counting on it. My biggest grip is the screen going unresponsive where you have to hit the power button twice to get it to work again. Frustrating during some games.
[Device Reviews and Information] BlazeMaster64:
That's true. I thought i'm the only who got unresponsive screen and have to screen off and on.there is also a bug with adaptive display(the bug is when adaptive brightness is on and you put brightness to lowest, the screen will go black. Fortunately i manage to increase to increase brightness blindly.Another bug is there is some dead pixel on the screen(you can see when turning on the phone or when on a black background). Battery life can be improve. Camera take very long to focus.i'm on 19/11/15 build.The company dont reply anymore to their email ?.

I guess that will keep me from buying stuff before it's released. I should have waited and got the bugs worked out. I'm not going through the hassle to return it. I'll use it with the crappy screen issues. I have a redmi note 2 that I have as a backup in case I destroy this phone. I always have a backup phone. However my next phone will be one that's officially supported by the rom developers. I'm leaning toward a Oneplus 2. Depends on when I decide to get a new phone. Whatever is officially supported by Cyanogenmod and others will take precedence over super low cost. This and my redmi note 2 are my first ventures into a higher end smart phone. I didn't realize mediatek was so stingy with it's source code for it's phones. I've learned my lesson on buying a mediatek based phone.

Very interesting, maybe its possible to modify the backplate and include holes for the antenna, I'll look into it after my warranty expires. By the way - I'll also continue development on the CyanogenMod once my warranty expires, as far as I remember it was for a year starting somewhere around November. Sad to see no official statement about Marshmallow for F5 from Doogee, only shows how sad of a company it is.
