Personal review

Being a recent convert to imported android phones, and having read so many negative comments on this thread: I thought I should add my own personal opinions to help anyone that might be thinking of buying one. I've been using it for almost a week. To put it into perspective, my previous two devices were an Elephone P6000 and Galaxy S3.

My XTouch is running Android 5.1 out of the box.

Positives

- The GPS works very well, picking up both GPS and Glonass signals. Works well enough in the car, on foot and even when I've been on a train.

- I'm on the Three network, and it happily picks up a 4G signal when there is one to pick up (I'm not in London). I was getting 24mbps when I last tested it. The 3G signal is also fast enough for normal data transfer.

- Battery appears no better or worse than any other smartphone I've had. (not accounting for the awful S3 battery life after their final firmware update)

- Fingerprint sensor is pretty decent. It might not get it first time every time, but it's reading a small area. The device costs barely over £100, so come on, don't expect the moon on a stick.

- Camera is pretty sharp for the price tag: way better than the Elephone. I'm not getting any blurred edges that others mention. I turned the resolution down to 13mp, as it's preset to 16mp which results in it interpolating (guessing) what's in the gaps between pixels...

Negatives

- Startup sound is annoying. But it doesn't really matter as it's only cosmetic.

- Earpiece volume could do with being 25% louder

- sometimes slow to connect to data network or wifi, but we're talking about 20 seconds. Not a lifetime.

Struggling to think of anything else relevant to add. I don't play games on my phone so can't comment there. All I can say is that for me, right now, it works. I think a lot of people expect unrealistic things from a device that is so cheap. Or maybe I just got lucky, and got one that works!

Hope this helps, if you're undecided.

Won't charge

I have a problem with the usb port. It has a malfunction and won't charge unless I put the cable in a very specific position. It's causing me a big headache because I'm not able to keep it charged during the day. The only reference I could find is this dude in youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bzaw9ovmBU

I don't want to return it since it will take a long time to get my money back and probably I will have to pay customs again. I rather to try to fix myself but I couldn't find a way to open it.

Any ideas?

There was question earlier about support of 128GB MicroSD card.

About startup sound you can use this metod from some post before:

Earpiece volume it is to silent for me to.

Everything other is ok.

Did anyone fix the wifi-issue? WiFi connected, but after a while, there is no data transfer. Command ping ip example 192.168.2.104 (shown in settings/information about the phone/ status) prompt "not reachable".

Before bluboo fix this (hopefully they do there job), I have installed an apk from Google playstore called " WiFi-Reconnect". This app ping periodly a ip, if it unreachable, the app disconnect and reconnect the WiFi.

That's just a workaround before Bluboo fix this.

Hi , I just bought this phone and I would like to understand how to show the percentage battery remaining...Could you explain?

Also how do I make a screenshot? Many Thanks and best regards,

[Device Reviews and Information] satmaster:
Yoniii,heey what's up?!

Screenshot? No problemo, just press together volume down and the power button.

Battery %? I believe your device is not rooted, so just search for a Battery Percent Enabler at google play.

There are some other methods if you have a rooted device, but that's another story....

i simply remove root from supersu app (complete unroot), flash stock recovery and only system via flashtool, do the OTA and put again TWRP and root . .it worked for me like a charm..

Hello guys!

I have a problem with keyboard...

I just can't get the keyboard layout from QWERTY to QWERTZ. Any suggestions?

My device is up to date, I set the language of device to "slovenščina (slovenian)", I also changed the keyboard language to "slovenščina" so I get te letters like "č", "š" and others but QWERTY layout wont change to QWERTZ :/

I also installed Google keyboard but no success.

[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
You need to remove root and twrp, after that you can download and apply ota. After boot up, you will need to apply twrp and root again, with also xposed zip too

if you flash only recovery and system you maintain all apps and setting. After updating ita, you need to put again twrp and root with supersu..

USB Port malfunction

Apparently I'm the only lucky guy with this problem here... Anyway I'll put my testimonial here just in case to help the unfortunates like me.

I kinda fixed it! It wasn't fun nor easy... Had to remove the back shell and it's not made to be removed. It scared me how bad design this device has using a lot of glue.

The problem is design related, my usb port was a bit loose. To fix I put a small piece of rubber between the port and the plastic frame. It's working fine now, but the back shell is very worned. It's impossible not to damage the back when opening :(﻿

I think even the most skilled ifixit expert can't open without damaging it. I can only conclude battery is irreplaceable in this model. If anybody is thinking about buying a Xtouch I advise you to reconsider. Maybe wait for the X9. To me it's the very same model with removable battery.
[Device Reviews and Information] marus2:
So I have applied update.

First impresions? Fingerprint reader almost stop working - I can hardly read any of my finger.

Seems Bluboo continues to release fully worked firmware :(

[MENTION=5401664]leroxda[/MENTION]

[Device Reviews and Information] leroxda:
You're right! I was too pissed to take pictures... But I guess I can still do it. The shell is a bit loose and should be easily removed. I'm not with the phone right now, but will try to do some pictures this weekend.

[Device Reviews and Information] MIKO3773:
Why is important to remove root? Can I brick the device if I not remove root?
[Device Reviews and Information] thb2602:
How do I remove twrp/flash stock recovery?
[Device Reviews and Information] Renzke:
If you try to install the update with a modified "build.prop", TWRP will abort the installation because there is a cheksum-check in the "updater-script" of the zip. If you have XPOSED installed you should also uninstall XPOSED before you unroot.

There are three solutions from my point of view:

First:

See post from megthebest (flashing stock recovery)

Second:

Make a backup with TWRP --> Replace the build.prop with the original version --> Reboot --> Download the latest OTA, go to "0/adupsfota/update.zip", extract the update.zip which is in the update.zip and copy it to your SD-Card or Mainfolder --> Unroot with the SuperSu App --> Reboot --> Boot into Recovery --> Install the update.zip which you copied to the SD-Card / Mainfolder with TWRP --> Install SuperSu to get root --> Done

Third:

Make a backup with TWRP --> Download the latest OTA, go to "0/adupsfota/update.zip", extract the update.zip which is in the update.zip and copy it to your SD-Card or Mainfolder --> Copy the update.zip to your Computer --> Extract the files to your local Computer --> Open: "META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script" with Notepad+ --> Search for buld.prop and delete the lines with the statement: "apply_patch_check(...build.prop) II abort(...build.prop)" and save the file --> Repack the files in a new "update.zip" file --> Sign it with "auto-sign" (google it) --> Copy the new update.zip to your phone --> Unroot with the SuperSu App --> Reboot --> Boot into Recovery --> Install the update.zip which you created --> Install SuperSu to get root --> Change the values for the version Information manually in the build.prop to the nws values (Veriosn number etc.) --> Reboot --> Done

It should be also possible to change the cheksum to your modified "build.prop" but I didn't tried this. In this case you don't have to change the version info manually. For the 12.01.2016 update I used the third variant because I didn't had the original "build.prop" and it aborted when I tried to install the update with TWRP.

The third variant is a little bit complicated. That's the reason why i asked for an original build.prop with the 12.01.2016 update installed, I had no backup. If you also don't have a backup go some pages back and download the untouched "build.prop". Then also the 2nd version will work.

Until now I have the 12.01.2016 version running because I wait for some feedback to this update.

I got it working on windows 10

---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 AM ----------

I think you will find this to be wrong with the at least latest 9MB OTA update. Or it may be megs twrp build that somehow skips the check.
[Device Reviews and Information] Renzke:
The check won't be skipped by TWRP, I know this because I had the Problem that the installation of the update.zip was aborted by TWRP (megthebest version). After I delete the code the installation was succesfull. It makes sense to not skip this check because otherwise it can't be guaranteed that the changes will work.

You need the x64sdk22v80. v79 doesn't work. No official release until now, v80 is a test version. Search shortly in this thread to find it. (sorry I'm on mobile, will add the link later)

Exactly what I thought, a 2600mA battery.

If I charge my Xtouch from completely emtpy to full in combination with a mA-monitoring device I get 2575mA in this battery. So it's not the 3050mAmps they advertise with.

By the way, with the latest OTA update I get a MUCH better battery life, anyone else noticed that?

What to do now?
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
Please return back flashing only system (deselect all other voices) with flashtool. You can find old rom on needrom and flashing only system, result in maintaining apps and data

Tried first older roms, but had issues (e.g. system ui stopped; couldn't wirte internal sd showing 0 bytes left).

Flashed system and recovery of latest ROM 2016-01-12 and now looks good.

Just doing OTA update.

[Device Reviews and Information] nJoy-Android:
I only tested 64gb SD. But firstly i had also problems with writing, especially dropsync, titaniumbackup... I resolved this with the apk "sdcard fix KitKat".

Info from the apk:

NextApp SDFix will modify the configuration file located at /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml to allow apps to write to the MicroSD card. Specifically, SDFix will add the Android UNIX group "media_rw" to the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission's configuration.

I know, that we have lollipop and not KitKat, but for me its working.

[Device Reviews and Information] trojanere:
Reinstalled everything (including windows) the usb port is working but spflash still will not talk to the phone. Anyone got a twrp system backup for OTA 16 handy to try and install from SD?
[Device Reviews and Information] Renzke:
I had the same problem with the drivers (Win10 x64 Prof.). It took serveral try-outs before it worked. For me these driver fits: https://thebroodle.com/microsoft/windows/install-mediatek-mt65xx-usb-vcom-drivers-windows-8-8-1/

I remember that this also wasn't working on the first time. It was necessary to "play" a little bit with this package in the device manager to install different drivers. Means: First Boot Windows without driver signature, Right click on the VCOM driver which you installed and doesn't work, make a right click on it and press on "update driver" then select "Seach on the computer" and in the next step "choose from a list". I remeber there were some VCOM driver which has "Mediatek" in the name and some doesn't had it. You have to play with it.

After the change start SP-Flash Tool as administrator, select what you need (Load Firmware, Scatter, select what you want to flash) and click on the download button in the programm, Connect your phone and while it's connected make a restart. If everything is working the phone will be recognized after it powers off and SP-Flash Tool will flash the selected files.

Hope this helps.
