It's fine here, I usually use VLC's Equalizer to lower the volume below the minimum in general, no matter what the phone is, in order not to harm my ears.

The result is that no one but me is able to hear anything, so if I let someone listen to music on it, I have to raise the volume.

The only issue is not related to the earphones, but when I lock the phone, the playback stumbles all the time.

About flashing TWRP, I did select everything by myself and it worked fine.

However, I did place the necessary files in the folder beforehand.

Sorry for not posting earlier, however XDA Labs wasn't letting me post anything.

Update: Audio on locked screen now only stumbles when pressing the volume buttons.

The Wiko Selfie 4G shares the same chipset, the 6735P!

And it's at the same version!
[Device Reviews and Information] moriel5:
I downloaded the kernel sources to my phone, I'll upload them through my laptop today or tomorrow, depending on when I'll be on it.

Does anyone have priblems with phone's charger loose? I have tried a few charger cable but without success. Problem is phone's charger head wich is too loose.
[Device Reviews and Information] moriel5:
Sorry for the delay, I lost my phone (it's still not my daily driver due to the fact that I still can't recieve texts), and only found it last night.

I hope to upload the kernel sources in a few hours, when I get home.

About charging, I never had any issues with my X5 Pro.

What I think is the issue, since I had it a few years ago with a Pomp King 2 (W99), is that you are using a cable with a short head.

There are 2 kinds in the market, short and long.

Samsung generally uses short.

LG, Nokia, and most (if not all) chinese smartphones use long.

No idea about other companies, however I think that Motorola (Moto by Lenovo) also uses long.
[Device Reviews and Information] Tonto87:
I waas bored so I thought I'd upload the kernel sources. Thanks for finding them. Hope they lead to some nice custom ROMs. :good:

[Device Reviews and Information] moriel5:
Sorry for the tardiness, I havn't been on my laptop, and got caught up in different distros on my desktop.

I had uploaded the sources straight from my phone.

Now it's in the Mega.nz folder I had shared previously.
[Device Reviews and Information] libove:
I'm generally pleased with my X5 Pro, but I simply cannot get it to connect via USB to allow a Windows computer to access files stored locally on the X5 Pro's sdcard.

It does show up in Windows Device Manager as an Android device, but it never shows up in File Explorer.

And, as it's not rooted (and this is actually my wife's phone and I don't want to root this one), something nice like SambaDroid isn't an option. And I don't want to pay for some ad/tracker-ridden commercial file sharing app for something which is supposed to be native functionality...

I've tried built-in Windows drivers (Windows 7 64-bit by the way, all service packs and patches loaded), Google's general ADB drivers, several different Vcom or Doogee branded sets - all behave exactly the same way.

What's the magic trick to get the phone's sdcard storage to appear in Windows Explorer when the phone is connected via USB cable?

thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] AndreasKal:
I would like to ask the X5 users some questions:

-Flash light: Is it average? better? weaker?

-Those who complain about low volume on headset: Same results occur with various types of headphones?

-Has anyone tried taking photos with a differnet program than the pre-installed? If yes the picture quality is till mediocre?

Thank you in advance.

I received a new phone from gearbest

It has a noticeable touch lag from day one and it realy makes typing a living hell

Anyone else knows about this? I is my phone e defected?

Ive had no problems with mine from day one, now 4 months on performs great no lag.. try changing home launcher to hola launcher and also chamnge your keyboard to AI swipe, maybe will help :)

---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ----------

Its 5 MP camera but takes fine photos if you ask me. Comparable to any 5 MP camera.. also macro works well and autofocus works well so its good enough for me, the flashlight is bright, and works well..

I have no problem with headset.. yes depends on headphones, I use app called Music Folder Player because it has option of 2x and 3x volume enhancer :)

You can do it via settings but i forget exactly the way.. i just use Xender app, this makes it really easy to share files with any pc on the wifi network via your browser.. try it, works great with pics, videos, docs everything..

I just received delivery of an X5 pro phone yesterday, and it will only connect to Google services when connected via 4G. It won't connect to google via wifi. This means I can't update apps on play store, sync Gmail etc...

Has anyone had this problem with this phone? Not sure if I need to return it.

I rather avoid having to root the phone or doing anything similarly technical, if possible.
[Device Reviews and Information] awakekiwi:
It maybe just some settings issue, my contacts sync fine but I don't auto update apps and I manually check gmail to avoid lots of notifications during the day, could try a factory reset or wipe and reinstal firmware which is a pretty easy process (google it) but it might just be a simple setting that youve missed in 5.1

Hi everyone ! I'd like to ask about this phone's battery life. I I own a Z1C and I am perfectly happy with it, but my mom's phone broke down several days ago and now she saw this Doogee X5 Pro on a sale. She won't browse online at all, nothing except calls and maybe some pictures. How long will the battery last with that kind of usage ?
[Device Reviews and Information] awakekiwi:
Hiya, the battery is a good size for this kind of phone, but will still need to be plugged in every evening as with most smartphones you wont get more than 24 hours of use on a full charge...

Two options with bigger batteries and higher price are these two..

Then check on 4PDA, SnowCatPDA's TWRP should work.

The arm build (which is what you need) is at version 2.8.7.0, while the arm64 build is at version 3.0.0.

It's around the location of the 6.0 rom (not very stable yet, I'm using it).

I don't understand russian either, so don't worry about there being next to no english there, just try finding it according to the keywords.

I'll ask SnowCatPDA for permission to upload it to XDA.

[Device Reviews and Information] gtd2000:
I have this phone as well as the bigger X6 Pro.

Overall the phone performs very well indeed, from my point of view but the main beef I have is with the video function....

Video Problems - can you help?

When using video messages with apps like Skype or Whatsapp.

With Skype you record the message and often the app just white screens (after pressing stop and waiting for an age) then returns to your contact list and you've lost the message you just recorded, or, you record the message (supposedly successfully) but when it is played back by the other party, it plays back at double speed (the video track) and the audio continues at the normal speed. This is very frustrating to say the least and I've all but given up with sending Skype video messages due to it!

With Whatsapp when you press record the video image goes very dark (as if it is compensating for too much light) and it's hard to see..video is problematic for this phone. The quality of the video (speed etc.) is very variable too.

Anybody else using this phone or the X6 Pro with video messaging (not video calls - that works fine) apps and having problems?

Cheers in advance.
[Device Reviews and Information] gtd2000:
Flash light appears to be OK for me. Does the job without any complaints that it!

Handset (built in) earpiece is not very loud for me - loud speaker (built in) is very loud indeed. (My X6 Pro has even lower earpiece volume.) I normally use a headset for all of my calls anyway.

Camera is pretty dire overall. It's a low grade camera and that's all that can be said of it. I used to have a 2.1MP Canon camera that took fanstatic photographs - the MP rating is only part of the part of the system than creates the (low quality) images.

If you mean "creak" then yes it does creak but there's no sign of any cracks so far :o

The feel of the phone is very cheap and brittle to me - but I've resolved that by buying a TPU case to put it in...feels fine now ;)

Hello, tell me the truth battery lasts for 72 hours? Looking for a cheap phone to $ 70 with a good battery, I call a little, but should always be in touch. There is no way to charge the phone, constantly moving around the city. Help me choose between Doogee X5 max, Uhans A101 or Ulefone 007 or other? Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] deton24:
In Doogee X5 Pro? With such battery capacity?

Forget about it.

Go to kimovil, check mAh, then read opinions on particular models.
[Device Reviews and Information] awakekiwi:
My x5 pro was ok.. but i now have a bv6000.. it cost a little more but its bulletproof, waterproof, shockproof, has x10 processor and 3 gb of ram.. to me this is the most usefull phone, and its on 6.0 marshmellow and runs great.. also has altimeter, compass, glonass and a 2.5 day battery (4500mah)..

I will never look back now as this phone kicks the x5 pros ass! I did enjoy the x5pro while i had it, but i dropped it once and the screen cracked and then it was a pain in the butt to use.. the blackview bv6000 is waterproof for 30 mins underwater.. and pressure proof several meters, so i can take it to the river canyon in summer and take down the river with me..

The 007 is ok but i dunno about the uhans..

Check out bv6000 ...im not affiliated with in any way :)

[Device Reviews and Information] AlUrNiMa:
It (DOOGEE X5 Pro) will not last for 72 hours if you need to use it daily.

But it is very easy to change the battery, I bought original Doogee Batteries for about 4 $/€ per piece for the X5 Pro but that was like ~december 2015.

This topic is about the "DOOGEE X5 PRO". Please search or open another topic if you have questions to another model to keep it clean.

Personally i would only buy any of those devices, you asked for, if they run smooth, without flaws at least on Android 6.xx . But that is just my opinion.

The Blackview BV6000 might be a good device. But the Doogee was about 75€ when i bought it last year (right from ebay in my country, not China)

And the X5 Pro was even on a Sale this year for only 50€ (!) on Amazon (again not from China but in my country!)

Of course you will get a much better device for this price and more than half a year later. But the cheapest I saw was still 170€ now. (from China)

I have to admit the Display-Protection on the X5 Pro really sucked. Some cheap plastic or glass.....would have gladly paid 10 bucks more for good protective glass.
[Device Reviews and Information] moriel5:
I'm on SnowCat4PDA's 6.0 AOSP rom, and I can say that I definitely enjoy it more than the stock rom, although 3G and LTE reception are horrible.

As for battery life, I get only slightly better results than the stock rom, but with Greenify, no Play Services, and my personal favorite settings (which are pretty minimal, comparatively), it gets through the day with anywhere between 10-50% on a single charge, depending on how much time I actually use it.

My Doogee X5 Pro has fallen countless times before I had replaced the screen protector that came with it (it was plastic), including at high velocities, and direct hits to the screen (plus me bending the phone a few times to get the touch working (it was fine for the most time though, and it's always fine, now that that I have a tempered glass screen)), and has never broken (it has even fallen on roads a few times, I'm pretty clumsy).

But then again, there were only three phones in my posession that had ever had their screens broken: one old Samsung dual-screen flip-phone (I don't remember the model), when I had two on me, and I passed by the sharp edge of a staircase pillar (both screens were almost totally shattered and became unusable, that was the extent of it); an old Nokia 2600c-2, by delibirate force (and it took over half an hour to do so); and a Phicomm Clue C230W, although to be honest, I have no idea how it broke, since it was in my drawer for several months (perhaps half a year?) before I took it out and found it that way, and I had not touched that drawer at all during that time.
[Device Reviews and Information] AlUrNiMa:
I'd love to see Android 6 running on this cheap backup-phone, but as im planning to use it for LTE testing there is no point in flashing a custom ROM with bad reception. :( :crying:

Very disappointing why DOOGEE did announce on their official Facebook site the 6.xx Update and then: *poof* nothing...not even a statement. :eek: :mad:

I do not think the battery life is bad at all. Just 3 days (72 hours) of normal usage (yes hard to define!) would seem very unlikely or next to impossible.

(I won't assume everybody is into tweaking the least out of their device)

When im using it only on 2G and nothing is running (except Whatsapp maybe in the background) it was working fine for at least 5 days and still had enough charge left....but that is not "normal usage" at all. My guess with an optimized ROM (that is not existent right now) and decent Usage - 2 days battery life would be possible.

I am very sure its just the screen itself, and on all 3 devices it was already feeling cheap from the start. Not saying it is not shatterproof. Just definately very scratch sensitive (on all 3 devices we bought). In my defence....i didnt drop it, neither scratched it. But a friend of mine used my device for some months.... :eek: Compared to any GorillaGlass Device I had, the Doogee Screen feels just cheap like those cheap plastic screens from old phones like 10 years back.

It is not really ment as any serious complaining. It was my first china device, and for the price back then really worth every penny. :good: :cowboy:
[Device Reviews and Information] AlexSH:
Sorry, I'm the reason and ask questions. I am interested in the opinion of smartphone owners. Android 6.0 for me is also important. It employs more than good. I think I'll buy Uhans A101. For today are no real owner, who can say, it is a good phone, or bad.
[Device Reviews and Information] AlUrNiMa:
OT :angel:

I just quickly checked google, youtube and a datasheet for the Uhans A101.

8GB ROM and 1GB RAM seem very little. But it really depends on what you want to do with it.

As i have read and watched a lot of experiences from other users I just wanted to add that i wouldnt really trust any manufacturer until someone independent verifies the stated spec's of the phone.

For example: "Gorilla Glass 4" (many times i read afterwards it wasn't real Gorilla Glass)

And: "Sharp Display Oncell LTPS 500 nits..." (doesnt mean they will really use this screen, or maybe not that bright, maybe something wrong about the colours etc.)

Good things I found for now: Battery replaceable, 2 Sim Slots and 1 MicroSD Slot

Overall for now i wouldnt wait for this phone (As it is still on presale until 20th of September at least on gearbest*com)

I dont see anything special about it to be honest. :confused:

OT End :angel:

Maybe some fellow X5 Pro Owners reading in here know any China Device that is available, tested/verified already and about the specs as the X5 Pro just a little better (Android 6, newer chipset) at around ~75$ ?

[Device Reviews and Information] lipippo:
Hello,

could anybody tell me if this phone is compatible with android auto?

I mean, if it has the necessary hw encoder profile to connect to the head-unit in the car.

You don't need a head-unit compatible with android auto, it's enough to install the app and, if the phone is not compatible, it will tell you that the app works but it won't be able to connect to the car's screen.
[Device Reviews and Information] moriel5:
It should work without any problems, since h.264 has been supported for quite some time.

Nearly all (if not all) chinese phones from Android 5 and up support h.264.
[Device Reviews and Information] lipippo:
Well, that's not exactly true: I have an homtom ht7 pro, same chipset, same memory, same resolution, in fact same everything as the x5 pro, it should work but it doesn't. Why? Because, even if it supports h264 hardware encoding, it's missing profile 4, which is the one android auto needs.

I'm asking if somebody could test it with the x5 pro because homtom simply says the phone is "not compatible" (duh!) but I think they're lying (e.g. they also say the ht7 pro is not compatible with android 6, while there's an official android 6 for the x5 pro), the mali t720 should be capable of supporting profile 4 and it's just a matter of providing a suitable kernel.
[Device Reviews and Information] moriel5:
Then in that case, it must have been improperly configured in their kernel.

I personally use SnowCat4PDA's AOSP 6.0 ROM (still haven't upgraded to the official 6.0, or to SnowCat4PDA's 7.0, yet), nor do I use GAPPS, so unfortunately I can't test it out.

Try asking on the Root Doogee X5 Pro thread, perhaps someone may be able to help you there.
