i do have the same problem concerning the wifi ! is there any solution ?

i have the latest firmware (i think) and the phone is brand new (no root, no modification, just "stock" version).

because now, i'm filtering the thread by your post and i cant find it.

so maybe.....it will be good to have this solution on 1st page or something....

or...because you know it, if you gave the solution, then point directly to the solution....!!! (3 posts for....nothing..! this is not helping at ALL !)

and i'm still searching....(the only post i found was the one talking about the antenna...but i don't want to open the phone ???) this is it ?

it doesn't seems to work for me :(

wifi is still connected, but no data.

When we enter the adb command, do we have to see something in the shell ?

I try method 2 (with the command on the dialer), but now windows can't find my phone.

So when i enter the adb command....device not found.

And when I launch spflashtool, it doesn't found my phone.... :(

i don't know what to do (yes usb debug is activated, w10)

Did you install drivers properly? The downloads are in the tools thread

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

Ok, but have you flashed anything before using SPFlashTool? Like stock rom to allow OTA updates and such.
[Device Reviews and Information] doudoufr:
I had but not matter what I try now, it doesn't work. And it's even worse. On another computer, i tried to install the adb driver....but the phone is not recognized as well.

i tried rebooting without the signature from the pilot, but no luck

i tried to install the drivers from the zip file, but when i launch install.bat it says " do not support Win NT earlier version" (i'm on w10)....

how do I remove all the drivers and the adb package ?

the thing is : i'm rooted lol ! (well that's what root checker told me)....But if i can't run adb..... :(. So the drivers was installed correctly on my first computer. But now, no luck ! and on the 2nd computer i can't install the drivers since the phone is not recognized !!

Hi everyone!

I recently bought an F5, and I have a problem: when I insert my 32 GB microsd, the phone tells me that it is corrupted and shoulld be formatted. I choose format, and the phone formats it to 60MB approx. Then I tried to format with Windows to NTFS, FAT32, EXT3 , EXT4, but the phone keeps telling me it is corrupted and formats to 60MB, I tried a 16GB card, with the same result. The phone runs the 2015-12-14 ROM.
[Device Reviews and Information] MushroomLT:
*SOLUTION* To the WiFi stability issues.

This one is really working. Now don't get over excited, as it is not that great.

The WiFi issues only occur, if using the newer 802.11n (possibly ac too if it's supported by the F5, don't have a router so can't test) standard. Most likely thats why some of us are having issues while others aren't. And I've experienced that in some public wifi hotspots in coffee shops and such it works much better than at home. Probably they didn't integrate it properly and just rushed to have the N branding on there. Classic mediatek (that's why it's cheap anyways).

To fix it, you must disable 802.11n connectivity on your router, and use it as a g one. The downside is that the g standard is significatly slower, and even though you probably won't notice it on your phone (I can watch youtube at 1080p in the other side of my apartment from the router no problem, although at 60fps it struggles to load a bit from time to time), you will definitely notice it on your laptop or other devices. To counteract this, what I did was plug in an old router thats only capable of the g standard into my current one, and set it up to provide another hotspot that's g only, but uses the same network, so now I can choose if I want to connect to the n or the g one.

I assume that it should be possible to disable n standard on the device itself, to make it work with your router and allow for higher speeds, and to be able to use it properly in public places when you have no control over the used standard. I'll post an updated solution if I find it.
[Device Reviews and Information] Pololomix:
Hello, I've flashed the ROM with ADB and the installation goes fine but then after finishing it it appears the Cyanogen bootloader and after waiting about 20 minutes it doesn't load the system. Now I will try flashing the Images with SP and will communicate you if the result is the same
[Device Reviews and Information] doudoufr:
This solution does'nt work for me.

wifi still receive no data from time to time.

I also write to doogee on twitter and see if they planned to do something about this...but well....

i can't change my wifi to g. :(

i'm thinking of sending the phone back. if we can't find a solution to this :( :(

The rom is not yet fully bootable, not to mention using fingerprint. The zip signature failure is the flashable zip and not the recoveries problem. Although I'm pretty sure you can disable the verification.

Never had trouble with battery loading. I'm using a wall charger that loads up to 6 devices, one port allowing fast charge, but not sure I always used that port. I also connect it to my pc at work which is a 10yrs old asrock motherboard with Athlon 3.2ghz dual core and usb 2,using an old samsung cable from my first smartphone. Sorry if it seems a useless post but this my experience so far, nothing to complain. Oh I never checked the ampere flow since had no trouble.
[Device Reviews and Information] AsgardCurse:
I've never thought of checking for "real fast charge" either. All I know is that it charges "fast enough" for me, which is much faster than my old Nexus 5 did.

I use the Stock charger and cable.

Though, I've heard that sometimes, people have to change to a fast charge compatible charger to allow for real fast charge.
[Device Reviews and Information] MushroomLT:
Well, the stock charger advertises for 2Amps, but you never know when these Chinese manufacturers start lying :D

Somebody else from the EU ordered this phone? If yes, where from and how are you planning to avoid custom taxes and VAT?
[Device Reviews and Information] AsgardCurse:
I ordered from Gearbest, I paid extra for faster shipping and really haven't planned on evading any customs or taxes. It can't really be more than €25 or so.

BUT, Gearbest usually answers like this.

Question:

I have to pay some additional import customs charges in Portugal, if i buy this product?

Reply:

Hi.

Taxes are charged by your local customs office control and are covered by the customer . We recommend you ship the item by surface mail or ems to reduce or avoid ( if applicable) .Please refer to http://www.gearbest.com/about/faq.html

I assume the same goes for any other China shop. If you're lucky, customs won't see it, if not. Well, you'd have to pay when they deliver it.

//edit

I just copied the question from Gearbest. I'm located in the Canary Islands, Spain. Not in Portugal.
[Device Reviews and Information] kric66:
You can choose PostNL at the shipping, it has a better chance to avoid the taxes, and also you can ask the seller after purchase to declare the package value to ~$25, if you're lucky you avoid the VAT.

I ordered my phone from GearBest, and I did these things, they have good customer service.

But with these, it can happen, that you have to pay taxes.
[Device Reviews and Information] AsgardCurse:
Apparently Igogo have them on stock now. At least their page say so.

http://www.igogo.es/product355500.html

I still haven't gotten mine from Gearbest, but they assumed it would ship November 4-5 something, I guess I know in a few days.

For rooting. Have you tried iRoot?

[Device Reviews and Information] Maghiran:
Are they based in Spain and delivering from Spain?

Because I have a friend there and I could ask him to order it for me. The price is even better than at gearbest...
[Device Reviews and Information] AsgardCurse:
No, they are based in China as all the other shops. They just focus on the Spanish speaking market, which is quite big if you count in both Spain in Europe and the Americas south of the US except Brazil.

Finally my order arrived, i have 2 brand new Doogee F5, if i have time i`ll do a review on them. Feel free to ask any question and i`ll try to answer them :)
[Device Reviews and Information] AsgardCurse:
Sweet.

So questions:

Where did you order from? How long took the postage? Which postage?

How long does the battery last? (Well, I know it takes a few days to answer) Is it 3000 mAh?

Can you do an Antutu benchmark? And/or some other benchmarks...

How does the quality feel?

Any luck with rooting?
[Device Reviews and Information] Maghiran:
Quality of the camera? :D
[Device Reviews and Information] Kanjidots:
aliexpress, ordered on 14.10 arrived here today 02.11, shipped by DHL but i regret it and do not recommend using them ( payed 25$ extra just so they pay the VAT for me on top of the Shipping Cost )

Testing now battery and Antutu, feel free to recommend other benchmarks you are interested in

Good quality, well the box itself kinda low quality, also the plastic cover it comes with is bad. Screen protector is bad also feels like sand, abrasive, and doesn`t work as smooth as a glass protector.

Except that phone feels and looks great, love the air controls and the fingerprint ( tested and no one else can use my phone, only my finger works and very responsive ).

Do not plan to root it anytime soon. It`s funny but they already released software updates.

Update 1: My F5 31859 Antutu score

Info: MT6753 CPU, Mali T-720 rendered, 1080x1920

2920 MB ram, 14.48GB storage, CPU Freq 299-1300 MHz

16727 HTML 5 test

38-40 degrees on stability test

Update 2:Absolutely no idea how to look for battery mAh, any sugestions ?

Update 3: Can`t post external links, how to show camera tests ?
