[Device Reviews and Information] gizmojoe:
Thanks homie, i hope i can learn as much as you guys have, i really want to get this phone in the right shape, but confused as some people are getting 3 days out of this phone even on stock 5.1 without any new apps.

i charged to 100% and downloaded some torrents, streamed a movie and did web browsing, youtube and instagram, got to 20-30% by the evening...thats not good homie. lol

Thanks mN, im really new to this but its hard to sit down on a computer and learn techy stuff on my own like i used to, family and my work, sucks man! could you send me some links to what exactly i should do to this ulefone now. like the stable root, process and what apps to install and remove etc.....I just wish i had time to sit on these forums but its difficult running two jobs and taking care of a family :cyclops:

I ran a geekbench battery test with only Wifi on and got only 8 hours battery life, all background apps closed of course.......how on earth did the op get 20 hours! OST, i ran another geekbench test with 50% brightness and airplane mode on and only got 12 hours.......it really sucks and nothing like the original posters information and what others seem to be getting. im still on Stock 5.1 there is an ota update available but havent done it encase of any bugs or further drainage.....What should i do first and foremost

There is definitely carrier setting restrictions on this phone, i registered with a reliable VPN and signed into that on the phone and the internet is like a rocket, everything in HD no throttling on quality or speeds, torrents hit 4-8mb/s within 60 seconds of being active.

I removed carrier settings on my iphone and i have been enjoying unrestricted un-throttled data for a good few years on it, obviously a jailbreak is required and i needed to go into file explore and locate and delete the carrier settings for my network, before i did this i got 4-6 mb's on my 3g connection, then when i deleted the files i got 10-15 mb's ans its been like that since i deleted them a couple years ago now. But i will frequently get a popup saying update carrier settings (now / later) i have to keep pressing later and im left along for like 5 days, but if i press now and update, i get the restrictions back again. There is a website that offer the edited carrier settings for your network for a price like $3 via paypal, its legit i was following the guy when hes was early on the scene offering the files for free....i think $3 is fair tbh, you only have to do it once and you always have them. But i just went into the phone and located the directors and deleted it myself, i was fortunate lol, thats 3 UK.

So i will hopefully learn about rooting as i did about apples jailbreaking and figure out where android keeps its carrier settings and hopefully edit them so i wont need an VPN.....but that might take a while i will try when im more experienced.

if you could advice on anything i should download in the meantime for the ulefone to help me quickly get to a good state, i want to get the best advice from all you guys, haha like i said, im a newly enlisted android trooper now !:cool:
