This doogee device doesnt use a vold.fstab, it uses the fstab you mentioned from ramdisk. You can find it in my CyanogenMod repo. Although you should not try to change anything there, there's a high risk of bricking your device. And you probably won't be able to switch the sdcards anyway as it uses a newer fstab model. Your option not saving doesn't have to do anything with the fstab. This is just an user option that should be saved in preferences, and fstab is a mount point file. This is a software bug and you should contact doogee about it.

Hello, this morning I have installed the wireless update on my F5 and I don't receive notification sounds anymore (Viber, Gmail etc.).

Does anyone knows hot to fix this?

Unfortunately I'm rather certain they won't. But we can still hope, and if they release the source the development for it would be easier.

How about cm 12.1 thread. The Guy post the log. is it good or you searching for a logcat ?
[Device Reviews and Information] muzammil84:
New user here. Updated to the newest version straight after powering on, so far everything seems to be OK. Just couple of thing that annoy me quite a lot:

-No downloading speed shown in notification panel(I guess xposed would fix that but has anyone got it working on f5?)

-can't edit the icon layout in notification panel, looked everywhere in settings but couldn't find it. Is it not editable?

Other than that I am quite happy with my purchase. Phone feels cheap thou, battery is rather poor(but I am comparing to Huawei Mate 7 I've been using which has laptop-like battery lol). I was gonna switch from Mate 7 to F5(simply because I got bored) but Huawei is far more superior to Doogee so I rather get rid of F5 soon and keep my Mate 7.

I've seen there's a working rooting method already, I might give it a try later, but that about Xposed? Anyone H's done it successfully? Any links?:) thx for your help guys, it's a bit shame that there is so little development for this phone.

Network set manually

Hi, I have problem with network setting. I have bad signal of my "home network" so I always use roaming, In my old phone I set it manually and it never changes. In doogee when I set manually - the network changes but for a while back to the "home network". How could I change the network permanently?

Thanks for help.

Have anyone fixed touch issue on this phone? It's pretty annoying. Sometimes touch is not calibrated and only fix is to close screen and open it again.

I think I'm going to sell this phone. It have pretty nice specs for a price but cameras are so bad, even my old Xiaomi Redmi 1S have many times better camera.

GPS have also failed sometimes and it's not accurate and this model doesn't have gyroscope. Also battery life is sometimes very poor.

My last Doogee phone for sure I'm going to stick with Xiaomi's phones even though they don't have all LTE bands.
[Device Reviews and Information] martas.vavra:
I am not facing any touch issues, your phone must be defective.

[Device Reviews and Information] AsgardCurse:
I'm sorry to hear about your problems.

I've never noticed any touch issue, only in Candy Crush when playing tired and one of my other fingers accidentally touch the side of the screen, making it think I'm zooming instead of swiping, but I think all phones would have that problem for me, handicapped with no hand sensibility...

My camera is awesome!!! Sometimes a bit slow on focus. Make sure you set it to the native 13Mpix instead of the software upscaled 16Mpix, and it'll be faster.

The GPS... Yea, it's not always too fast, but that happens to most phones. n the F5's case, it's probably because the "liquid metal" frame blocks the signals a bit. Make sure the phone got a direct view of the sky, for example. If you use it in the car, move it closer to the window.

TWRP recovery should be buildable from my cm device tree if you apply the necessary patches for building twrp on cm tree. If you don't know how to do it I'll probably do it just in a month or two cause I have no time right now.

Hey guys, I have a technical question. Have any of you tried to disassemble the device. I dropped it quite unfortunately flat on the screen and since that everything seems a bit blurry with kind of a shade heading down from anything on the screen. Most noticeable on a white text with a black background. Luckily I have a tempered glass on. No visible damage was caused so I'm thinking maybe some connector from the screen to a board got loose. I'm quite afraid to even try to remove the back cover since it's obviously with no removable battery, I don't wanna break it in half. And what awaits me inside if opening would be successful...

My Battery problems are going from bad to worse. . .

Since I got it over 3 months ago, I never had an empty battery. It easily lasted for one day with >20% remaining. Now since the update I did on monday it's a completely different story.

Yesterday evening I had to recharge it. Before going to bed I didn't want to plug it in again, as it still hat 95% so I just put it in flight mode. Guess how many % were left 6 hours later?

[IMG="95% to 45% in six hours on flight mode standby"]http://www2.pic-upload.de/img/29997534/media-20160311.png[/IMG]

45% in standby and display off! Btw no idea what exchange was doing. There was no data traffic.

[Device Reviews and Information] MushroomLT:
The thing is, that the licenses almost specifically state, that you can't hide the source for commercial secrets.

They don't want to release it to force you to buy new phones if you want newer firmware. This happens with all manufacturers. Hope we can push them enough so they would release it at least after they drop support.

Comically Comerical! But don't tell anybody, it's secret. So far, I have experience with other Chinese devices, I can read code, this time I don't want to know what they did in the sources. I don't think it's a comical secret, better use the words "sense of shame". Shame indeed it's a nice piece of hardware but the support is so careless in my opinion.

I pre-ordered 2 F5-s from Gearbest. 1 for me, and 1 for my wife.

I waited 3 months when i finally got them.

1st phone problems:

First bootup and i saw one dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Okay, thats not so big problem on FHD screen.

Then i discovered that Adaptive brightness is "broken", when i lowered slider, then backlight stopped working, then i had difficulties to turn it back on, LCD without backlight, cant see almost nothing.

And the most annoying problem was screen unresponsiveness, it was almost like phone froze completely for few seconds, then worked again for some time, impossible to use phone.

And final problem was GPS signal lost case. Gps worked for little time, then lost signal and never restored it, when i restarted then worked for 1min or so. So basically this F5 had no GPS.

Second F5 had same freeze problem and GPS problem.

Like wtf ? 2 F5-s and both are defective...

Anyway i was in "45days money-back guarantee" time and sent these back to Gearbest.

I just cant recommend this model for anybody, sry Doogee :)

I've uninstalled and reinstalled using the same procedure and it still does it. I'm getting frustrated. It's doing it on many programs that I have installed. If I unmount the card they'll install.

could someone please help me figure out what is the name of the built-in camera app. I want to take a back up (with titanium backup) from the previous version 19/11/2015 and restore it to the current one, because i believe it takes better photos than the latest version, but i can't find it with titanium backup or even on the running apps.

please help me and thank you for your time
[Device Reviews and Information] MushroomLT:
I don't think the camera app was updated. Not sure about the name tho.

In case you didn't know it's part of the gallery apk, maybe it'll give you a clue of what to look for

Išsiųsta naudojantis F5 Tapatalk 4 Lt
[Device Reviews and Information] eddie obscurant:
thank you very much,

so if i replace only the gallery apk the camera app will be replaced , or do i need to replace anything else too ? Do you think there would be any problems (stability issues) if i integrated into system ?

They have changed something . There is a big difference in image quality between versions before 25/1/2016 and after. Supposedly the camera focus faster on recent versions, but the image quality it's much worse.
[Device Reviews and Information] MushroomLT:
Hmm, didn't notice the quality drop. Yes, the camera is packed together with the gallery into one apk.

Edit:

The camera however is not controlled by the app. It is controlled by some low level APIs - Android level APIs - then Camera. So unless you can tell a difference between the stock app and f.e. Google Camera, you won't fix anything by changing the app.

Išsiųsta naudojantis F5 Tapatalk 4 Lt
[Device Reviews and Information] eddie obscurant:
I'm not 100% sure i understand what you say, could you please elaborate? I know that, changing the app for taking photos with another one from google play wouldn't solve anything as the result will be more or less the same. Do you mean that just by changing the pre-installed camera app with a previous version would be the same as choosing another app from google play?

If it is that what you're saying then yes it really does make sense that it wouldn't change anything. I just thought the app could control other aspects when taking a photo such as time to focus, etc.

So there isn't anything i can do about it, except from flashing the older firmware? Could you mention the photo quality issue to doogee, since you talk with them?

Here's an example both at max quality settings and everything else on default. Look for the letters on the books

old firmware good one , most pictures look like them

new firmware bad photos two of the best i could take with the latest firmware (you can't distinguish the letters on the books) and there were much worse than these

edit photos removed since tinypic downscaled them and you can't tell the difference , i attached them inside rar files

[Device Reviews and Information] MushroomLT:
Looks like it's just out of focus to me. You could try lowering the resolution to 12MP and see if that helps.

About the app, you understood me correctly. However it could have some optimizations to better suit the hardware, but I hardly doubt it as the camera probably just hooks onto the default Android API. I would try taking pictures on the older FW that you claim does a better job with the stock app and some app from play store. If the result is the same on both, changing the app on the newer version wouldn't fix anything as the other app had no specific optimizations and captured in same quality. Otherwise, if the quality from the play store app would be worse, like the one from the newer firmware, changing the app would help.
