No idea what GP is.. Google Play Store? Google Play Services?

However... I suspect it's a very slow eMMC ROM in the F5

For me it's slow and sluggish only when I do stuff that might write to the internal memory, like changing settings.

Perhaps that would be the Play Store issue for you, if you install stuff, it writes to the memory.

When you use the phone normally, it only reads from the eMMC or the DDR3 RAM, in those cases, the phone doesn't slow down.

You might wanna test with a fast class 10 memory card, and set it to "Default write disk". I can't test that, since I use dual SIM cards.

data reconnection

If have been using the F5 for a couple of weeks now as my main means of communication. My previous phone was an Iphone 5s. I still has problems with data reconnection when moving around.

Camera focus is (very) slow in comparison to the Iphone

If these problems can ben fixed I'm a happy camper speed of the F5 is fine.
[Device Reviews and Information] MushroomLT:
It is fast, the problem is it cant detect if it is focused or not properly, so you have to try again and again.

Usually nowadays there are no manuals, only a quick start guide telling where the on button and the sim card slot are.

[Device Reviews and Information] MAGICMAN516:
I finally got mine. I'm not noticing any of the issues. I don't use a data plan so I couldn't comment on the problem people had with that. I did update my phone as soon as I took it out. I'm impressed. I haven't put the tempered glass protector on it yet. Since it has the plastic one on it I figured I'll do that when I have more time. I've installed a bunch of stuff. I put the 64 gig sd card and and using that as the write to device. I'm putting some games on it that my old phone couldn't handle to give it a good test with games. I'm impressed so far. I like the weight. Feels solid. screen is beautiful.

When taking the plastic protector off I didn't pull on them enough and it caught the back of the phone and pried up the corner of the back cover of the phone. I just snapped that into place. I bought a cheap case off of aliexpress that looks like it'll attach with this double sided tape. I'll probably just use the plastic snap on cover to stick to the case and snap the phone into the case so I can remove it if I want.

Pretty phone that's for sure.

Got mine F5 yesterday loaded with 20151022 firmware. Overall I am quite happy with the phone but I have one big issue - my WiFi does not work at all. I have WPA2-PSK secured WLAN which does not broadcast SSID and when I try to manually add network Settings just crash. Already updated to newest firmware via LTE (same issue with WiFi) but I would like to kindly ask if there is known working application which will let me to connect to my WLAN?

EDIT: Normal (not hidden) WLANs are normally accessible and working quite good. The problem is only with hidden ones.

Dear friends, great news!

Now DOOGEE plan to create a ROM developer team to help customers who love DOOGEE smartphones, for giving customers the best experience with using DOOGEE smartphones, we really need people who could port famous ROMs like CM, MIUI, Flyme OS, Color OS and others.

It will be wonderful If you are long-term porters and developers in famous forums like XDA-developers.com, 4PDA.ru or others. We plan to choose the best as long-term cooperation partners in each big forum.

As the return for this, we are glad to provide free smartphone samples, great discounts to purchase DOOGEE smartphones or some other things, even we allow the developers join to discuss the next DOOGEE smartphones,we are pleased to have more smart guys or teams to help us be more professional.

Please contact us, we are waiting!

tbh im disapointed that theres no development and will probably sell my F5 on, get something that

[Device Reviews and Information] MushroomLT:
Man, there is development for it, we told you like 10 times.. I am working on a recovery, and later I'll start working on cm. By the way most custom roms can be ported without touching the kernel. And I don't see any need for a custom rom yet, as the stock one is almost clean, with minor modifications that can be restored by installing Google apps from the play store. The only issues are with the WiFi, screen and the camera, and most likely lie in the kernel, so even if we start developing a custom rom now, well probably wont fix the issues as well have to first redo the job doogee has already done, just harder, and then if they're working on it it'll be fixed ages ago. The need for a custom rom will rise once they stop developing the stock one, and just maybe if the issues is not in the kernel, they can be fixed faster than by doogee, that's our only hope right now.

My F5 is out of action atm anyway flashed preloader by accident so my only hope is Marshmallow to get it running again the touch is all messed up and unuseable.

Also i was going through the build.prop and other files today and noticed Antibricking set at level 2 lol. Was trying to find where the touch config was but no success.
[Device Reviews and Information] AsgardCurse:
Wouldn't a clean flash of stock fix that? If not, I really can't see how Marshmallow or a custom ROM would help you.
[Device Reviews and Information] aradalien:
Oops im wrong :P
[Device Reviews and Information] MushroomLT:
No. All the drivers are in the kernel, which lies in the boot image packed together with the ramdisk. Please do not misinform people if you don't know what you're talking about. The preloader is used for flashing stuff onto your device through download mode, that's why flashing a wrong one most of the time bricks your device - you can no longer flash the correct one, but sometimes you can still boot your device into meta mode, and flash the correct preloader from there. Nothing bad can happen if you flash the CORRECT preloader even if the last one you flashed was incompatible. Just download the firmware package from www.doogee.cc and flash EVERYTHING that's in it, and it should fix all your problems.

Yea its finding a rom thats been dumped though, i made a backup but deleted it like an idiot.

[Device Reviews and Information] MushroomLT:
The download contains all you need to reflash the stock ROM. It contains every file in every partition, so there's no way you can fix it by modifying any file because if you flash the stock one it restores everything to stock state. If you still have issues after flashing the whole stock package they're probably hardware related and unfixable.

LT is it possible that the actual bootloader is corrupt?

Because of the bad flash ?

Ok i just been in engineering mode touch is working on every part of the display but!

Its as if the digitiser has shrunk in res from 1080x1920 to 480x480, when i touch the screen anywhere theres always a response but its in like the 480x480 box.

It has to be something todo with the bootloader its the only thing we cannot replace.

[Device Reviews and Information] MAGICMAN516:
I'm very happy with mine. I rooted but haven't messed with any of the installed programs. However one is saying "Application not installed" when I click on it. It's the Sim Toolkit. Has anyone else had this issue? The icon appears normal and not like the little android guy. I know it's not an important program but I was just wondering if anyone else has this issue.

Also I noticed that sometimes when I reboot the default write to device switches back to Phone Storage instead of SD card. I have to hit that setting almost every time I restart my phone. Anyone else seeing this. I'm guessing also that option doesn't mean internal data from programs because I've been installing games and such and the majority of the data does write to the SD card but it looks like some internal data gets written to the phone storage because the phone storage is now down to 6 gig free instead of being around 11 when I first started. I'm not familiar with that option so I'm guessing it's normal?

The sim toolkit only works if your sim card supports it. This happens on all phones, except most of them hides the icon from the launcher if the sim doesn't support it.

There is no way of installing the whole app to the SD card, except if you link it using special software. The default write disk doesn't make all your app data go to the SD card, it does the same as going through every app and clicking Move to SD card on other phones just automatically.

Thanks, I have that other software link2sd, I purchased it on my old phone. I installed it on the new phone but forgot to setup the second partition. Which will mean reformating and reinstalling all my apps. I hate that. I was hoping that the default write to device option would get rid of having to use that program. I know lucky patcher has a way but I haven't figured out how to use that one correctly.

Thanks.

Anyone notice some sound stuttering on some games? Angry Birds Transformers starts to stutter when there's a lot of action on the screen. Funny that my dual core 1ghz samsung t599 didn't have that issue with that game. Just the animation would slow down on it on the T599 with lots of action. Animation speed is fine but the sound just stutters on the F5 and drives me nuts. Hard to believe on hardware that is as good as the F5 that the sound would stutter. I also noticed it on some other games as well. Any Ideas?

I'm going to turn off all sound enhancements to see if that helps. Maybe those are too taxing for the CPU to handle with all the animation.

yup that fixed it. So if any of you have issues with that then turn off sound enhancements

Actually, alkose did us a big favor in trying out the Elephone ROM on our Doogee F5. Of course he was very lucky that he didn't break his phone, but the result that it "kind of worked" is very interessting for Developper / Porters. It means that for porting e.g. CM, one doesn't have to start completely from scratch, instead we can take advantage from developpments for the Elephone P8000. This can make it easier for CM for us.

The only strange thing is that his touchscreen is messed up even after successfully reflashing our stock rom. I'm pretty sure this is a hardware fault, but I'm wondering how the P8000 Rom damaged it.

Also Elephone released the Kernel for the P8000 https://github.com/elephone-dev/P8000-Kernel which is also worth a look if you are trying to build a kernel for our Doogee F5
