When I was having problems with the ROM and I couldn't flash with twrp I had to let the phone totally go flat, no power at all in the battery. Then I used the mtk flash tool and flashed with the lastest xtouch ROM.. You can try this method
[Device Reviews and Information] marc2800:
Yes I flashed also xtouch ROM with mtk flash tool. And it worked fine.

But I still can't install custom Rom with TWRP. Because the data are encrypted. I found only post about Nexus 5x or 6 to disable encryption

Yes, I can use normally the phone! However I can't install through TWRP. So can't continue to port

Happy sunday

I format it with SP flash tools even the bootloader and download after the stock rom again.

So my xtouch decided to misbehave today.

After sending some texts this morning suddenly the phone died. If I press the power button it will flash the bluboo logo and again die. The battery seems to be charging when I connect the charger and it evens boots to android. The problem is, it will die again 10 seconds after the complete boot. I have a stock rom installed and no twrp. Is there any way to factory reset the device or any other insights from you guys?
[Device Reviews and Information] nJoy-Android:
You should have another menu if press and hold vol down and power button. The last point should be factory reset, but with chinese chairs....

Jack bug on Bluboo Xtouch

Hello!

My phone has a bug. When i play music (only music player or spotify or deezer) turn the playback off after few seconds. I saw the jack icon in status bar, that flash once. The jack is good, i think this is software bug.

By the way, is it going to be officially updated to 6.0 or not?

[Device Reviews and Information] Jezlink:
I just replaced my xtouch with a cheaper redmi 3. I had a bad experience with the Bluboo and it got worse over time. Terrible battery life. Unstable, Google apps particularly. Very quickly it became ugly because the back case is soft and scratches very easily.

While the redmi has lower specs it is a significantly better phone. I feel relieved to be done with the xtouch.

Considering there hasn't been a software update to the Bluboo since January I doubt very much you'll see 6.0.

Garbage phone. Hated it.
[Device Reviews and Information] satmaster:
exactly! I am going to switch to Vernee Thor too which is on the way to me. and until it arrives, I am back to Jiayu G4S...it rocks with droid 6.0.1 ? and the great support from 4pda guys
[Device Reviews and Information] Domangus:
and is the vernee thor any better or just more of the same?
[Device Reviews and Information] PaladinStu:
The Bluboo XTouch production has been very inconsistent. I was one of the people that got a perfect sample. Mine is very stable on the stock ROMs and my battery lasts me over 2 days every time - even playing games occasionally. My housemate got one as well, but his microphone and loudspeaker are bad. Others seem to have good phones and bad phones.

I highly doubt it will ever get Marshmallow.

The Vernee Thor comes with Marshmallow, but has half the ROM, only HD screen and smaller (advertised) battery. I guess its only advantage could be build quality, but I have no experience with them.
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
I have had Xtouch in the past and now i own Thor.

Despite of the price, Thor is far better than Xtouch.

2800mAh are real and it guarantee about 5/6 hours of screen on time during heavy use in a day (or two days).

It is lightweight, hd screen is good and perfect for the screen size, also camera is better than Xtouch.

Comes with Android 6 and good community support for modding and fix some issues..

It costs about 30%less...

Soo.. All in all.. On a scale of 1 to 10 What would be the score that all of you (that have the phone) would give? Still have to receive mine.. Untill now i saw (videos on YouTube) and read a lot of reviews. But nothing told me more that I already knew. Was unpleasantly surprised to know that the "audio chip" and the optical stabilisation was nothing more than a "marketing trick" to lure as much of us to buy the phone in early rush) Well done Chinese!) I knew I needed to be careful with those "stellar" claims. But (honestly) as many of you.. I thought it's real.

Does auto rotate function work without a Gyro sensor?
[Device Reviews and Information] bofbaz:
Yes, that does the G-Sensor!

Without that you won't be able to play racing games with tilting the device.

So I think that that "marketing trick" did it this time but customers who feel fooled, will never ever buy again a phone from Bluboo. Will you?

Such "marketing tricks" are illegal in most of the countries I know.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
If you buy a China phone there is always a risk. All the cheap Chinese brands cheat in one or the other way - that's why they are cheap.

If you can't live with that, don't buy a China phone - go to your local shop instead and buy a Samsung or iPhone.

Sorry but it is naive to think that you get something for free if you buy a cheap China phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] J. Z.:
I asked almost the same... They are SOO small and yet they start with the trickery) What's wrong to go with honesty, for change?! It's not their first phone.. but then again a lot of other Chinese manufacturer are "honest" with battery capacity and other "facts" So they just follow the same play) Time will tell if they live to make this again. They had a good product that could be REALLY great! But they just couldn't go all the way and respect what they wrote on their website. In their commercials. Said it's 1:0 for them.. And I hope a lot of people learn from this.

I don't get that phone for free. No one give it to me as a present.. You are selling something and your marketing is based around claims - your product has that features! In my book - if you DON'T respect that there's only one name for that LIAR. There are a lot of other brands from China that RESPECT the claims. And have good products. So don't be a lawyer for them.They will survive without any help.. i don't worry about that.

Thats totally true S7yler... some people just want their cake and eat it.

If you are not happy with the phone.. sell it on to someone.

The truth is they are as cheap as chips and if it dies after 12 month then you can buy a new one without hardship.. Its not like you are paying 600 Euro plus per phone.

My HTC One X is dying and I have ordered this phone as I don't have much money at the moment. The performance specs are about twice as good but the features are a bit lacking i.e Giro. but you don't see me crying about it.

I will embrace it with open arms as it will be working to its full potential.. hopefully ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
I'm not selling anything. I'm a private person, not working for a company and I do not get paid for anything, I do the reviews free as a hobby in my spare time - and I don't care about Bluboo, but about the phone I test. My reviews are based about what I see when I get the phone in my hands and they always contain both pros & cons about the device. I never claimed that it has OIS or Gyroscope, I have said the opposite and I posted camera samples so people could see the true camera and judge by themselves. Name a China brand that NEVER have faked anything. Huawei and Xiaomi, some of the biggest in China today, have also faked things in the past on some of their first phones. But today they can afford not to do as they are so big. The smaller cheap China brands are competing to be the best on their level, and if 5 of them are faking something, the 6th also has to do it (they ALL fake or have faked something) or they will not have a chance among the rest. It is maybe unfortunate, but this is how it is.... that's why, never buy a China phone before you watched at least 3 good reviews that also tell about the cons.

I could compare this to the VW scandal, where they faked the tests with their engines. Now where this have been discovered actually more car brands have been tested, and proven that a lot of other car brands also have faked and cheated. So it is kind of the same....
[Device Reviews and Information] bofbaz:
I think that you did not get his point, s7yler. But nevermind!

[MENTION=2105197]s7yler[/MENTION]

did you install another camera app yet?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
I have tried OpenCamera and also Google Camera now, both also have blurred sides - I guess they just use the phones standard camera drivers still. After the latest ROM it seems that the left side is not blurred anymore, but now the blurring is in my right side instead :mad: and it is very visible. So I must unfortunetly conclude that the phone in the current state only has an average camera. Working on the review now. I have to say that camera pictures look better on my Leagoo Elite 1 http://xdaforums.com/android/general/leagoo-elite-1-5-0-jdi-hd-fingerprint-t3187424 but it is also not perfect, as it is missing compass and other stuff.

About the phone I have to say it's a best buy for that price,other competitors (doogee f3,leagoo elite 1 ecc...) are less perfect than Xtouch. Xtouch have a pretty good hardware, almost great in every field (camera,battery,display) .I choose this one, it should be on the way to me ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
I show the LEDs in action in the review video. But the LEDs are average strong I would say. I have seen better, but also much worse. For things within 1-2 meters it is okay, but if more far away I would say they are not strong enough. It is always a bit hard to comment on, as many have different opinions about such thing.

exif info abot aperture

Hi S7yler,

and thanks a lot for the review. My Xtouch is ordered. :)

Something wonders me abot the images you uploaded.

For example the "Night-img" or "nightshot-img"

When I look at the exif-informations with irfanview or the windows picture viewer, there is the Info abot an aperture (Blendenzahl) of 1.8

Bluboo itself says that the camera has an aperture of 2.0. For me it makes no sense, that Bluboo declares an aperture that is less than the Xtouch delivers....

A little bit strange. But maybe this is an bug in the software, the driver or typical mistake of me or android itself...? I just wonder....

I would say the microphone is a standard one, Sound and volume is fine but not super. But there are no issues with it, people hear me fine and I hear them.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
This is my GPS test (night drive recorded in Germany, kind of blurry I know, but you get the idea and partly see the road I drive, so it should be ok) of 2 Chinese 5 inch phones with similar specifications. The difference between the 2 is that the Bluboo Xtouch has compass, while the Leagoo Elite 1 doesn't have any.

I'm sorry that the planned route in Google Navi wasn't exact the same on both when I ran the test, but Google sometimes changes that or suggest other directions. In the video I do not always follow the suggested route, but also try to change to another.

In "testdrive number 1" (0:05 to 7:21) both seems very accurate. In "testdrive number 2" (7:22 to 11:51) - the Leagoo Elite 1 seems to get a slightly misaligned lock but it still works okay.

The test may not be perfect, I know that, I had to try to manually sync the 2 small screen recordings with the main video as the recordings wasn't all started at the exact same time. But it should give you an idea on how good/how the GPS acts on the 2 devices.

Both devices can be used for GPS navigation, but the edge I think goes to the Bluboo Xtouch.

[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Yeah I see it, but it is set by the camera drivers, sometimes it gives wrong/false info. I have seen similar on other China phones that after an update suddenly had another aperture. So we should not trust these infos in the EXIF.
[Device Reviews and Information] Androstarter:
Oh no, if it`s true, they didn`t fooled. It would be more a kind of understatemant. ;)

An Aperture of 1.8 is much better than one of 2.0. ...

Hello s7yler I just received one BLUBOO XTOUCH 3GB 4G to make a review for my blog, but I see that this phone have the same problem with the GPS that I experienced with the Takee 1 other Chinese phone that i previously reviewed, not being able to find the signal of satellites here in Latin America ¿did you manage to solve the problem?

I think it will require to ROOT the phone to fix the problem

(EDIT) Found that the GPS really works but at least for me just under a clear sky. Inside a building the reception drops down sou much that is unusable. Really shame because this is practically the best phone from china that I received recently.

Bluboo promised support for other after-market ROMs, including CM12.1
