Probably not related to your issues, but...

In my experience, Setting the camera to the native 13Mpix instead of the up-scaled 16Mpix makes the camera both faster to focus and in my non-professional opinion, gives much better pictures.

Thanks, but i've tried it , without any difference.

edit The gallery app between the different firmware versions has the same package version. So if it's the same version, then what mushroomLT said is correct and there's nothing i can do except from going to previous firmware versions. Or is the package version something different from the app version ?

No need for root, go to screen settings, select wallpaper, choose one and select Set as lockscreen.

For me there's no option for choosing to set as lockscreen, just for wallpaper. Ahh, nevermind, this could wait. BTW thanks for your reply.

Yesterday I installed wakelock detector to see what drains the battery. I recognised, that something doesen't let the phone go to deep sleep. (See picture.) I can't find out what it is, none of my apps. I think it's teh fingerprint sensor, though I tried to turn it off, but when I put my finger to it, the phone vibrates, and says uncorrect fingerprint.

I attach two pics, one of the Doogee F5, and the second one is from my Elephone P8000. There's a huge difference. I think, if I could manage teh phone to go to deep sleep battery would last much more longer.

Hello everyone, I have a question about the F5 fingerprint manager.

It says that the fingerprint sensor has 3uses: photograph, screen unlock and FpSwitch. I understand what are the 2 first one but not FpSwitch, does anyone know ?

Fpswitch is for disabling the scanner

Hi guys,

I've a problem with the fingerprint on my new F5. It works the first day but now, after two OTA updates , it doesn't work. In the fingerprint's setting, I can't add an entry.

Is this a known issue?

Hi,

I've suddenly started having an issue with my doogee screen. Not sure how to explain it, but the lock screen isn't showing properly and its started having this weird blue/black/white stripes from the top to the bottom of the screen. I can't post any pictures or video of it, so i put it in my album :).

Has anyone had trouble like this/know of a solution?

Thanks,

generally, no ! But i don't feel comfortable flashing the preloader, so i don't
[Device Reviews and Information] G-GFFD:
Thanks man, just did that. Will report how stable the wifi is.

If anyone else wants to try it, our /system is mounted as read-only. To overwrite the existing file remount the partition as rw first:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /system
[Device Reviews and Information] G-GFFD:
So, after 24h my verdict:

It "works", there is something that automatically reconnects when the connection gets lost. For example when I use web.whatsapp.com, sometimes "telephone not connected" appears. Before I applied this hack, I had to manually reconnect the wifi to get it working again. Now it does it automatically after about 10-20 seconds. So most of the time you won't be aware that the wifi connection was lost.

There's no 5GHz Wifi support anymore, but I'm not sure if your Doogee F5 had that before anyway.

So if you're really bothered about the wifi problems try it. It's not perfect, but it's much better.

Interessting thing I saw doing some Speedtest: Connection speed varys greatly between 40mb/s and 5 mb/s. Appart from the Speedtest this doesn't seem like an issue (e.g. while playing videos etc there are no problems!)
[Device Reviews and Information] AsgardCurse:
Good question. I got a dual bandwidth router from my ISP, with both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, OK, I usually got the 5GHz disabled, since most of my devices can't use it anyways, however... During some testing, I've seen the 5G net among the usable WiFi networks on my F5, but it's never been functioning. Like... connect, then it disconnects and connects to "another saved network"(my non-5G) instead and uses that.

If that's a router problem or that the 5G WiFi on the F5 is unstable, no idea. I haven't investigated. But I know I've seen the 5G WiFi. So the F5 should have support for it.
[Device Reviews and Information] BlazeMaster64:
Thanks man for making me retry this.(I fail to do this at one month ago, wifi stop working xD). Now i can have wifi at certain distance and work well. it used to disconnect , where my other phone good easily connect at 2 bar strenght. I reported this to Doogee and many other other bugs, the only things they tell to do is Format xD . Btw this is the first and last doogee phone i will use. Many bugs in lastest build. i revert back to december , better battery life. I could have buy a Xiaomi redmi 3 instead of this.

I bought two phones just on the release day, they both had some problem ( simcard won`t open, some mura dots ) but I learned to live with that.

One of the phones works, but one now shows vertical lines colored as the background on half of the screen.

- Touchscreen works perfectly ( can use the whole screen touchscreen if i connect it to a TV and mirror my screen there, and there are no lines on the projected screen )

- Colors change based on background, backlight works as it should

- There is no visible scratch or any broken glass on the phone

- Lines appear even at boot up on doogee screen

Any Ideas ? Could it be the flex cable becoming loose ? Anyone know how to open and reach the flex cable on doogee F5 ? I can`t seem to find on the internet a guide on how to disassemble the phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] MushroomLT:
Just remove the back cover and you'll find screws there. It could be the cable but judging based on the feedback from all the users the screens are often defective with this model.

[Device Reviews and Information] MushroomLT:
The screen is most likely glued to the frame, I would highly unrecommend trying to remove it from the frame as you could easily damage the screen. The screen could be glued to the glass and could be not, depends on the technology, but this is advertised as something like that the screen is so close to the glass it looks better and stuff so its probably glued too.

So I have bought new Doogee F5 and its not even a week old and it got some weird pixel glitches.Can someone help me?Will the warranty accept it.Phone wasent on the rain,did not fall or overheat.It was used for listening music and surfing web.Could that have happened from rooting it or puting custom revocery (twrp).I have restore to the stock rom and recovery so is my warranty back or is it lost?Thanks.

If I enable HW overlay in advance options problem is not so common and only few pixels/ lines flicker but without it phone is almost unusable

Which custom ROM?
[Device Reviews and Information] vuhuy:
Just posted a little guide here to play Half-Life 2 on the F5.
[Device Reviews and Information] jmpub:
(Sorry my bad english)

2. This cpu is a excelente price/power, and mine F5 works very good, for the price is fast. I have another CPU octacore, snapdragon 615, and the 6753 is in general a litle faster

3. Thios is a no problem, because 99.9% of the phone out there works like this. Only one sim can be in 3G/4G, and the other is 2G. And now is better, because you can change with SIM works mode.

3. Bluetooth, yes, one ou other time i have problems with connection. But maybe a firmware problem

3. GPS, yes, i dont like. Catch fast the gps, but on the move is continous losing and catching. And because this is useless.

5. no need of this

6. Is one or two in working

7. Dont use, no comment

And i think one or other problem is because the metal use in this phone. Is a strong phone because this, but a down size is no so good antenas or like this
[Device Reviews and Information] guby:
Hello,

2. I was not judging how fast the CPU is, I was just making a point on the fact that from my perspective it's not a big gain in having an octacore instead of an quadcore CPU in the phone since I'm not convinced that the Android OS or the applications are making a real use of the octacore or multicore architectures. From my point, after playing around with this phone I would prefer instead of the 1.3GHz octacore a quadcore clocked around 2GHz

3. It is a problem from my point of view. This is my first dual sim phone and since I never had such a phone before I would have expected to get this info out of the phone specs. At least an acknowledge from the producer that they received my message after trying to get in contact with them several times would have been good. A happy customer is usually a potential good to keep customer and I can't say that I'm a happy customer right now.

5. Why do you consider that is no need to force the CPU to stay awake? Is it possible to achieve this somehow? (rooted phone)

6. I already know about the cyanogenmod project. I was wondering if there is any custom rom that is working and already available ?

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] jmpub:
From Android 5 I notice that all cores is used. Maybe some smartphones dont have a good manegement. But I tryed some times and the f5 used the all 8 cores many times.

Force cpu wake all time or like performance mode is great to speed, but kill battery in short time and the temperature.

Enviado do meu A88 através de Tapatalk
[Device Reviews and Information] MushroomLT:
You can't measure CPU speed in Hz, as it highly depends on multiple other factors. An octa core is better for some tasks while a quad core is better for others. It highly depends on the usage, but generally more and more software is implementing multi-threading. At this time an octacore is probably faster for general usage, and by the way an octacore is a lot more power efficient as it can turn off the unneeded cores. Here we come to your other question. The system doesn't slow down the CPU when you need it. You shouldn't worry about the cores being off, it doesn't impact performance, as if they're off, they wouldn't be used anyway, just use up precious power and needlessly heat up the device.

All dual-sims behave like that, although I agree that misinforming is not a very nice step from their side. They didn't respond to several letters from me too. I'm pretty sure that I won't buy more phones from doogee, they don't disclose the source, and generally don't care about the support of the device and its community.

I'm pretty sure that there are no custom ROMs available, at least none that I'm aware of.

[Device Reviews and Information] AsgardCurse:
Yea. While the phone itself is awesome, Doogee seems to be a really crappy company, who doesn't care about their customers, which means that I among many here won't buy another Doogee device.

To Doogee: If you wanna sell more, take care of your current customers, and we'll buy a Doogee device next time. As it is now. Nah.

At the moment I wish I had bought an Elephone P8000 instead. More or less the same specifications. Yes, the ROM seems to be buggier than the F5 ROM and contains a truckload of crapware. However, Kernel source is released. Cyanogen mod exists, loads of other ROMs exists.

Since the Elephone P8000 use the same CPU as the Doogee F5, it means that whatever Doogee say about not releasing the kernel is lies.

So dear Doogee. Take care of your customers or we'll look elsewhere next time.

At the moment I'm looking at the Huawei P9, it seems to have an awesome camera. So who knows, perhaps I don't use my F5 as a daily driver soon, and can start test stuff on it.
[Device Reviews and Information] Damoedge:
I bought the doogee and the P8000 together...don't ask me why...lol...I'm using the P8000 as my daily driver and it's great especially the battery on average 10 SOT... but I do play around with the doogee from time to time and the one thing I can't work out compared to the P8000 is that it is so so much snappier...I mean it's more or less the same specs but it's so quick like lightning fast compared to the 8000... Anyone know why this is? ?

In the next month I'll switch and use the doogee as my daily driver for a while but the thing that puts me off now is the battery...never again will I buy a phone below 4500mha...that new phone that is out has a 10000mha battery that must last a whole week!

But I also say to doogee this: I will never buy another one of your phone's either like the rest of the people here 1. False advertising...liquid metal me arse it's plastic!

2. False advertising again on the battery...battery is not what it was advertised!

3. Non release of kernel source....I mean what has a little company like doogee got to loose in realising the kernel source? ? Nothing! They only set to gain improvement from it and maybe copy the much improved kernel for future development.

4. Customer support....I mean if they can't respond to their customer to me that's saying or giving you the big two fingers and saying don't bother us we are too busy trying to make money!

They are my thoughts on this anyway.
