Awesome.

This (together with the quoted video) has been taken from the Official Blog. Enjoy

Ulefone released a video about the production of their bezel-less flagship Ulefone Future, in order to show they have already been assembling the device.

We know the hard-to-make parts of Ulefone Future are the bezel-less display and CNC metal unibody. As soon as these two items are inserted into the pipeline for assembly, the terminal product is expected to come out soon. Ulefone says the factory is producing Ulefone Future a full speed and will normalize shipping soon. They also say that some videos will be released to show the advanced techniques adopted for bezel-less display and metal unibody chassis.

Gotta say that I don't like the look of that silicone cover at all ...but I'm not going to put mine in it anyway - I'm not buying a metal phone to put some rubber or plastic on it anyway :)

TomTop will receive gray one around Friday, and ship it out in the middle of next week. That means I have enough time to cancel my order if there are problems with this model.

Could you please write, how does it performs? Any touch screen problems? What about reception (cellular, bluetooth and Wifi)? Speakers and mic? Camera? And finally battery + charging time (if you got yours with quick charger).

Guess those are standard questions and all of ur are curious 'bout it :fingers-crossed:

Grats with a new toy btw. :)

Hello guys!

I got my ulefone future today!

But there are some questions.

I found no point where i can custimize the "message"-led´s?

regards peter
[Device Reviews and Information] 02xda1:
Battery is good so far, i am waiting till i run it down to see how the charger goes, but i did plug it in quickly last night and using ampre from the play store, i did see it charging at more than 4500ma so there's that.

Call quality is good, speakers are pretty clear and are more than adequately loud.

Reception on wifi, and cellular is good, on 4g optus i got 99.6mbs which for australia, is pretty good.

Bluetooth works ok, it is a little stuttery with my bluetooth headphones i use at work, not a seamless as i'm used to.

The screen is bright, vivid and customization with the miravision sofware that is in the display settings.

Touch screen is responsive and performs well.

haven't taken many photo's yet, so can't give a judgement on that.

For those interested, antutu gives a score of 50748.

Starting to worry a bit here since my shipment is still on pre-advised according to the tracking info. It has been 5 days now since Banggood said it was shipped.
[Device Reviews and Information] 02xda1:
That is exactly what gearbest did to me, gave me a tracking number on the 21st, a tuesday, but didn't actually give it to dhl till the 25th, last saturday.

Hit them up, ask what's going on, it may give them the nudge to get a move on. I honestly think that because i was making noise on their facebook page, is why they got it out to me, when so many others are still waiting. I didn't pre-order mine till the 14th of june.

Best of luck.
[Device Reviews and Information] dommels:
Guess I'll do that. Since I pre-ordered at day one (4th of may) it's quite unacceptable.
[Device Reviews and Information] 02xda1:
is yours silver or gold? afaik, they are having more trouble with getting out the silver ones.
[Device Reviews and Information] dommels:
I had it changed to golden weeks ago so I was hoping to still be lucky. I'll see what they say
[Device Reviews and Information] UschiT:
Banggood Hotline told me today "2016-06-29 08:44 The item is pre-advised" means the handover to the carrier, its on the way. We ll see.
[Device Reviews and Information] dunn0w:
Ordered mine on 4th of may, golden one.

First it had no status on the track & Trace website.

A day later at 8:44 it had the status The Item is Pre-Advised.

So it should be underway.
[Device Reviews and Information] Ramres:
I asked about my may 4th pre-ordered grey version and they say me they have no-stock and restock on july 7

We must only keep waiting
[Device Reviews and Information] dommels:
I picked up the pen and wrote them an email since it's still on pre-advised since the 28th. They replied in like 15 minutes which is pretty cool. So here's what they told me

Guess I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and wait it out. Not much else we can do either ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
Hi guys i have already one ulefone future and i live in italy you have problem too with the gps fix, coz my don't stop to lost satellites. Root some news? just for fix the gps problem thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
If i had the phone i would be able to help you, but Ulefone still has to send me the device...
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
ok so i have to wait you hahahaha. the phone is really nice in every part i have just this big problem, and by myself i know how to fix just if i can root the phone....
[Device Reviews and Information] 02xda1:
Are you inside or outside when it's not working? what maps or directions program are you trying to get to work?

My future is showing no problem with picking up gps inside or outside with google maps.
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
Im outside of course and i try with Google maps. I already try compare the phone with another like meizu and one gps signal app and the ulefone takes really differet satellites and the power of theim is really low too. I ask already anoter 2 ppl have ulefone future in italy and they told me they have totally same problem. Where you come from for have no problem?
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
So, basing on this video, you can't reproduce the same smooth navigation?

[YOUTUBE]g6WpZjrzH5A[/YOUTUBE]
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
Absolutely not but is not the hardware fault u can see coz the phone find and lost continuously the satellites, is like a wrong gps data i think just need to fix that but you need root or need ulefone make a small bug fix,i already contact them, and they told me the will give me the manual to root the phone soon to fix the problem we will see. I hope coz i really nee.
[Device Reviews and Information] carstenheuer:
Hey Alberto, is it possible that you bring CM13 to Ulefone Future? [emoji12] [emoji16] [emoji120]
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
Ulefone tell me by mail the will make a bug fix for a gps problem in italy. But if Alberto is so great to finds the way to root early is better coz after fix the GPS is easy. Some one buy the phone, receive or not yet
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
That's something that i'll probably do as soon as i get it. It has been already said some weeks ago :)

I can't make you try something that isn't directly tested by me, so i won't provide you any root guide until i receive the device.
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
Ok i wait you i hope you receive early. You think i import and sell Chinese phone, if i know you want you can buy from me i sell this phone already from more then 2 week.
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
Alberto when do you think you well receive your phone? coz without GPS for me is really difficult thanks, sorry if you feel i'm pushing you
[Device Reviews and Information] carstenheuer:
I think he can't tell you a date... because iam waiting too... that the phone will be shipped... :/

Can you please weigh the device? :)
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
185 grams i weight with 3 different balance always same. Yes is a little heavy coz the battery is Li-Ion and not Li-Po, but you be used to pretty fast, and the battery is really good she charge incredible fast and have really long charge. Today i take off from the charge at 7 am and now is 12 pm in Italy and i still have 30% of battery, today i use a lot more then 4 hour screen on.
[Device Reviews and Information] mc_gee:
My Future's been packed up and will be shipped today (TomTop).

And it's a grey one!
[Device Reviews and Information] dommels:
That's great. After 6 days, my order's tracking info surprisingly changed from pre-advised to processed in the country of destination which is good news too :)
[Device Reviews and Information] UschiT:
Origin Country - Cache Time: 2016-07-05 07:33

2016-07-04 18:16 The item is at the PostNL sorting center

2016-06-29 08:44 The item is pre-advised

Ohhh my item has moved.
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
Good day my Ulefone Future friend now i post what Ulefone answer me today about the GPS problem in Italy, is hilarious for me...

"Hello, there is presently not fast solution for this problem and we don't offer root guidance officially. But later people on xda-developers forum and needrom will figure it out.

Please wait a few more days.

Have a nice day!"

Incredible they work and they don't think about solved the problem but the put all the problem in xda forum and they wash there hands. Not good image sure for Ulefone, iven the phone is not bed. :confused:
[Device Reviews and Information] carstenheuer:
always the same... good hardware, bad software :/
[Device Reviews and Information] dunn0w:
Good for You and Dommels

Mine is stil on Pre advised, same country same pre advised date and time. Hoping for a change tomorrow :)
[Device Reviews and Information] juv3nal:
I would definitely use it (if I ever get the damn thing!) for all the performance and features that come from CyanogenMod, especially hearing that there are problems with GPS and because we don't know how updated Ulefone is going to keep this phone.

Would you also develop a version for the Vienna?

Thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] 02xda1:
I for one would like to see some modification to the MiraVision settings, automating them with timed changes, shifting colour temperatures during day-night cycle. I've had roms that do this before, and i'd like to see it on the future as well.

Darkened/transparent gapps are always good.

Exposed modules.

Also, more efficient kernels- as well as to see if the p10 has potential for oc, get it up to truly 2ghtz, and beyond.

And, as always, root access so I can use both ad blockers and titanium backup.

So, in short, I am definitely onboard if you want to go to the trouble of developing for the future, I miss the flexibility that I had on my oneplus.

Also, thank you in advance for anything you do. I don't have the smarts, time, or any of the other pre-requisites for developing roms, and it is appreciated.
[Device Reviews and Information] dommels:
You also should be able to track it on PostNL's site by now: https://www.internationalparceltracking.com

I can see they already declared my item, I have to pay €25,37 at delivery (which means they valued it at €59. I'm satisfied :) )
[Device Reviews and Information] dunn0w:
Does your tracking start with 3S code?

Mine starts with RC.. Still pre advised ?
[Device Reviews and Information] dommels:
No RC. But I received a 3S code now for local tracking.

You have to wait a few more days.
[Device Reviews and Information] UschiT:
My tracking Nr begin with RC.

On https://www.internationalparceltracking.com/ is no status, but on http://www.17track.net is that to see:

2016-07-06 06:24 The item has arrived in the country of destination

2016-07-05 18:49 The item is on transport to the country of destination

I guess I will never live to see the phone.

It's so frustrating to wait for so long when I paid extra 20 USD for expedited shipping via SF express....
[Device Reviews and Information] fanfan7110:
Definitely me ! Of course !

Because optimisation is not the priority of ulephone, a CyanogenMod would be welcome :) if possible already root or easily rootable for titanium backup. SO YES THAT WOULD BE GREAT
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
Alberto since we are both italian maybe you can contact me directly by phone coz i try some way to ROOT the ulefone future and with the Android one toolkit i fell im really near to the solution coz the future answare very well about all the command from the program. If you have time and want let me know i will give you my phone number and we can talk. thanks have a good night.
[Device Reviews and Information] dunn0w:
Mine is now on, the item is proccessed in the country of destination! ?
[Device Reviews and Information] UschiT:
U get it faster ;), seems that my leave NL and arrived Ger.

So ill wait for the Postmen...
[Device Reviews and Information] fanfan7110:
if you arrive to root it, it would be nice to benefit the community :)
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
Yep i know i feel I'm really near but i need help i asked Alberto but i think is too busy.
[Device Reviews and Information] Trolillo:
I'm new

Hello everyone I am also waiting for the future
[Device Reviews and Information] fanfan7110:
already buy it ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Trolillo:
Because?

I have a month to try, if I'm not convinced it back and ready
[Device Reviews and Information] dommels:
Okay, so finally my Future has arrived and it was worth the wait! It looks good, great build and screen.

But now I am struggling with the simtray. When I insert a nano sim I can't seem to f*cking close it. And I'm afraid to break it when I push harder.

Anyone else had this experience?
[Device Reviews and Information] 02xda1:
yeah, and it's the same with the micro sd card too. what I did was use my finger to hold the card in place while gently sliding it in.
[Device Reviews and Information] dommels:
Got the trick. Thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
Give us the feedback about your gps. Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] Dester31:
How did you receive it so soon? I just wrote to Ulefone directly two days ago and they said they have supply problems, and they start shipping in two weeks. I preordered mine on 24th May, and still waiting. (From Geekbuying.)
[Device Reviews and Information] 02xda1:
A few of us have received ours.
[Device Reviews and Information] Dester31:
I see, thank you for the lightning-fast reply. Can't wait mine to arrive. :)
[Device Reviews and Information] 02xda1:
What colour did you order? Or maybe you should read through the last 5-7 pages of the thread.
[Device Reviews and Information] fanfan7110:
same for me with the sim cards drawer. It took me to maintain the cards by pressing lightly on it, and push it very slowly.
[Device Reviews and Information] addisj:
Mine arrived on Monday. Absolutely love it (Used to have an S5). Just can't fault it :)

Edit: Actually the only thing I can fault is the 'bumper' case it ships with. It slightly covers one edge of the finger print sensor which makes it harder to read my print. Also the screen protector doesn't cover the rounded edge. That's literally all.
[Device Reviews and Information] Dester31:
Thanks for the hint, I checked the last few pages. I ordered a gold one. I also noticed that there is a problem with the GPS in Italy. I think there will be problem in Hungary as well, we are not far away. This does not sound good.
[Device Reviews and Information] mc_gee:
I don't think colour matters anymore - you guys got gold, then batch of grey was shipped... It's just Ulefones strange policy where they just ship units to resellers and don't care who will get it first. I guess that they could demand respecring pre-orders order at least from their official resellers. But, as I said, it looks like they just focus on numbers and waiting time isn't their concern.

Or even worse - they care more about their statistics than us, customers. I mean, those of us who have pre-ordered are already behind schedule and - no matter how big delay is - it'll be shown as delayed. But they can fix the numbers by fulfilling recent orders in time...

...let's hope that is not the case. It just does not seem fair that for examlpe I've ordered mine on 15th of June ($188, with shipping declared at 20th of June) and got it shipped two days ago (like 10 working days of delay) and ppl who paid $200 over two months ago are still waiting without any specific info :/
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
I upgrade my email push to uleFone for the gps problem.

Me:

"How is going for the fix,coz ppl need gps hear is important. Let me know thanks."

Ulefone:

"Sorry but the fix will not be completed in a couple of days.

Have a nice day!"

I hope they fix fast and better they can. :fingers-crossed:
[Device Reviews and Information] Trolillo:
The problem is common in GPS Mediatek processors, 2 years ago I had a elephone and had the same problem:crying::crying::crying:
[Device Reviews and Information] mc_gee:
Can not agree - Blackview BV6000 has also P10 SOC and, as I red, GPS works flawlessly on it.
[Device Reviews and Information] Trolillo:
Luck

Here in Spain is common that problem and what I read in this forum in Italy too, when I come I will tell you mine
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
I really hope with all myself they fix fast they can, coz is really bad you can't use 0. If you search in you tube ulefone future gps issue, you can finde the video totally let you see how is bad:crying: some one fix this problem coz the phone is really great the battery one of the best i have still now, and trust me i change a lot of phone. But unfortunately there is this bug really evil.
[Device Reviews and Information] Trolillo:
You can not switch to another processor qualcomm?
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
what you mean ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Trolillo:
If you can change where I give you buy a month and if you do not like it you can return it, so I say Qualcomm because you do not have these problems in gps
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
Mmm ok now i get. My problem is I'm importer too soo i don't mind to change my phone i have an other phone can use for myself but i can't sell nothing till there is this problem, and i don't wont send back all the phone is a trouble. And i really like mediatek processor, they are grate and they don't suck a lot of energy! look the x20 and x25 on meizu. My goal is fix this phone. That is my point.
[Device Reviews and Information] Trolillo:
Okay

Like when available root and some rom the problem is solved:confused::confused::confused:
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
Yep i think so i try my self as well to root without success till now but i don't give up hahahah. But im sure the day some real developer like Alberto Have in his hand this phone is easy rooted. But you know I'm seller i heve ho time unfortunately. :crying:

here the video about the GPS issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg03k7hh19M
[Device Reviews and Information] Trolillo:
It's a shame because it looks like a great phone, I still has not reached me yet, already in Spain, hopefully in 4 or 5 this in my hands, then I'll tell you how it behaves

The German video I have seen him a few times and if you look at the video of ulefone no any satellite in green, all in red and yellow

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6WpZjrzH5A
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
Yep i already watch 10000 time and is exactly same beheave in Italy.
[Device Reviews and Information] Trolillo:
I am also in a future forum in HTCMania in Spain and many users complain about the problem and the fingerprint sensor

I had a elephone years and it was the same with the gps
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
Actually the fingerprint is not a real error coz without cover hi work 9 on 10 and is fast too so not really a problem. And some complain for the camera as well but mine is perfect on the camera no issue the GPS is the real problem...after all the rest can wait they can take time to fix but the gps they ganna be fast coz in this way is like you pay alf phone is not correct for their customers.
[Device Reviews and Information] fanfan7110:
is that someone tried (and succeeded) to make it root?
[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
no one till now succeeded i think.:crying::crying::crying:
[Device Reviews and Information] fanfan7110:
I found this : http://android1pro.com/how-to-get-twrp-3-0-x-custom-recovery-in-an-android-device/

But i don't know if it works with our phones.. it seems to be for marshmallow, but i'm scare ti test it :)

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

For me, no problem with GPS. Fix in few secondes. And for photo, it's just wonderfull.

the only problem is that if ulefone does not publish a tutorial to root, i should change this phone and sell it ... I have absolutely need it to restore business data and load specific business applications.
[Device Reviews and Information] Trolillo:
I love to hear this good news, I'm looking forward to the future once:good::good::good::good:

Will soon get the root
[Device Reviews and Information] fanfan7110:
... If someone has enough courage to try tutorial of the link :)

I know that there is a Stock rom for ulephone future in needrom.com. I thought initially use the scatter original file and rename the TWRP image to recovery.img then flash it by SP-flash-tools.. But it's so risky for me :) ..
[Device Reviews and Information] Trolillo:
Missing root:crying::crying:
[Device Reviews and Information] oliversum:
Did anyone test Kingoroot or kingflasher.com in order to root the phone?

Mine is on it's way...
[Device Reviews and Information] fanfan7110:
yes, tested with kingoroot and "root failed" , same way for KingFlasher..

I looked recovery.img of elephone P9000 containing TWRP and compare adress of MT6755_Android_scatter.txt. (There are the same processor and android 6.0) But this is the result :

for the P9000 recovery adress start at 0x000000000008000 and end at 0x0000000000EE37FF

butFor Future recovery adress start at 0x000000000008000 and end at 0x00000000009BC37F (unconfirmed because rom comes from needrom.com and no from official ulephone site)

if the two devices had the same adress I would have tried the root. But here..
