My earpiece is defective after 3 months of using the phone. When I shake the phone I can hear the earpiece moving.

Now, as I bought the phone via Gearbest, I think I need to change the software to factory new, so they don't tell me I lost my waranty and deny me free repair/replacement.

I flashed MM 6.0, TWRP, then rooted it, successfully.

What shall I do to reverse all changements back to factory new?
[Device Reviews and Information] 3dd1:
From what I have heard about GearBest it will be doubtful you'll get your phone repaired and they'll offer you if you're lucky a tiny fraction of what you paid for it. Have you contacted them yet?
[Device Reviews and Information] seb7o:
(source)

So the waranty says, they either repair it, or I get a refund. The only costs I have are the shipping costs ~ 2 $. (This waranty counts for my phone, as I asked the support to be 100% sure)

Yes I contacted them, they told me to test some things (the obvious things I already did) and come back afterwards if the problem still persists.

Without the one year waranty, I wouldn't have bought the phone. If they try to disrespect the waranty, I will just take the money back via paypall, thats not a big deal. What you are saying about the tiny fraction of the full refund: that would be illegal, do you have a link/sources to read into this? Maybe I can avoid some stress.

Besides of that I actually think that the high temperatures while loading the phone and using it might have done something to the glue (I guess in the new phones nowadays, it is a common method that they use glue and not only screws to hold things together). Especially because the earpiece is right in the area of the phone, where the fingerprint-sensor is located (thats the area that becomes pretty high, and with the high temperatures there were here the past few days... well I am just guessing. I am not throwing around my phone, so I think there will be other people with the same problem).
[Device Reviews and Information] jy_P:
Can you share a picture? Is the problem is more along the front end or all around the jack?

I was thinking about trying that too!

Only half. It looks alot worse now that I've zoomed in lol but I don't plan on selling this phone anyhow. And anyone can do a better job than me
[Device Reviews and Information] Randοm Hero:
Hey guys. I love this phone. Got it for a week and a half. Is there any chance we get an official or unofficial Nougat ROM or (god forbit) cyanogen?
[Device Reviews and Information] jy_P:
Thanks I'll do it too!

I got it via etotalk, Which is the part reseller that ulefone recommended themselves. You can buy every single bit of the phone there from buttons to the main board. i got the screen from there for 45 usd and i think 10 or so import/transport costs. Mind you that i may have broken it due to me gluing it in with CA glue at first. i think a bit of it got between the digitizer and the glass and messed with it.

If links are allowed here it is http://www.etotalk.com/ulefone-power-touch-screenlcd-black_p13678.html

Has anyone found a credit card case that fits this phone and doesn't stick to it. I like the free clear cover around home and would like a case when I go out but also want to switch between them easily. AUNTIE

Hey guys! I have this BEAST for almost a month and i love it.. i upgraded to the last MM(no root) with the instructions from the official site and everything works perfect except the micro SD! Even in the storage settings there is no options about SD.. any ideas??
[Device Reviews and Information] Kangburra:
Not sat correctly, it should show up even if unformatted. Try sitting it on the tray again.
[Device Reviews and Information] 3dd1:
I bought another silicone case, stuck that inside the generic credit card case, this makes it easy to take it out, when I want to put it into a silicone case on its own.
[Device Reviews and Information] x-nivek:
Actually i tried to put also a sim card on the second slot and it wasnt recognized... i think it's broken :/

Maybe interessting: Ulefone released Kernel Sources for Ulefone Metal to get customroms on that device. Interessting for us, because this handset also featured the MTK6735 chipset. Probably a good starting point... ;)

My situation: earspeaker suddenly stops working, while loudspeaker and earphones still work. I think it happens when I use earphones and then I remove them, looks like the phone does not detect they have been extracted. To make it work again some magic can work out: resetting the phone, reinitialize it, reload the firmware, or connect it to bluetooth speaker, but none of this attempts works every time. I know some people has sent back the phone, but I think it can be a bug in the firmware, does some have any news about it? I'm on Android 6.0
[Device Reviews and Information] h4m5t3r:
Have you checked if there is dust/dirt in the socket of the earphone connector?

Perhaps dirt blocks the mechanical switch?
[Device Reviews and Information] Kangburra:
It looks like that might be the answer, can even use superglue I suppose :)
[Device Reviews and Information] 3dd1:
The one that I bought came with a sticky pad that you are supposed to stick the phone to the case with! Why any one would do that I don't know but that pad was ideal to stick the silicone case in with.

Does anyone know if there is a recovery I can flash that is in English? not bothered about rooting at the moment and would like to keep OTA if possible. but cannot find my way round the Chinese language one, unless of course there is a way to set it to English?

BTW where is that multi finger print app for MM?
[Device Reviews and Information] timmtomm8:
I bought one at aliexpress which is including a transparent plastic case where you just put the phone in, without any need for glue; as I am a new user, I can`t paste the URL, but if you google for "Ulefone Power Luxury Leather Case PU Wallet Slim Fashion Flip with Stand Leather Cover for Ulefone Power Smart Phone" you should see it ...

it is fitting perfectly :)

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

For me it is the same here that suddenly the earspeaker stopped working - the first time it happened after the first charging with the original quick charger: it really was quick, but the phone became very, very hot between the camera and the fingerprint sensor ... I also followed the discussions about this problem here on xda as well as on the Community 'uleFone support' at Google+, where also others complain about this ...

I did not find a software solution now (I am also on Android 6), but the only thing that helps for sure for me when the earspeaker is not working, is (soft) knocking onto the earspeaker! So I assume the problem to be a loose contact? Maybe at the first charging it got to hot at that part and made it loose ...?

At 'youtu .be / 19hMEyewRxM' ( I hat to enter spaces as I am a new forum member and therefore cannot post URLs right now) there is the Ulefone Power Teardown Video by Ulefone, and at 0:57 you see the mainboard and I suppose it is the connection just on the left of the camera, but I am not sure ...
[Device Reviews and Information] Kangburra:
I got here and while it does what you say there is not slot for the driving licence.

Thank you though :)

Having looked around a bit I bought one of these

I was wondering why does it say Hardware mt6735 even though it's mt6753?
[Device Reviews and Information] ajp558:
We have 2 Ulefone Power phones, one has been upgraded from original LP 5.1 to the latest MM 6.0, while the second arrived with MM 6.0. I have noticed that both are constantly broadcasting they are open for Bluetooth pairing all the time that Bluetooth is switched on.

There appears to be no way to switch off the broadcast that they are open for pairing. In MM 6.0 the phones should only be broadcasting as open when the phone is in the Bluetooth settings menu, and there is no separate option to switch the broadcast off like in LP. Does everyone else with MM 6.0 have the same problem?

We have other problems with the Bluetooth build in MM, which seems much flakier when connecting to our cars, and often don't display music tracks properly on the car stereo and sometimes the car controls like next track don't work with the phone. I am therefore planning to give up on MM 6.0, format the phone and go back to that last LP 5.1 version which worked much better for me.

Hi all, i rooted my power a few months back, its the first time i've rooted a phone so can't remember the steps i took exactly, but now im looking to remove root access, i can't seem to find much on this, can anyone help?

thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] Kangburra:
SuperSu has unroot built in.
[Device Reviews and Information] stub20000:
ah that was easy. excellent! guessing if i need to root again its a case of installing supersu? or doing to while thing again from needrom?

cheers
[Device Reviews and Information] Kangburra:
I am guessing you have TWRP, so just flash updatesupersu from there. If not, flash TWRP and then do it. :)
[Device Reviews and Information] valipalakeksi:

Hey guys I'm in the uk and I bought this phone for my wife a while ago but she still hasn't received the OTA to mm yet, any ideas why?
[Device Reviews and Information] zimmbadroid:
You have to flash MM update if you're on LP. Search ulefone blog or this thread for more info, it's been answered many times...
[Device Reviews and Information] robgee789:
Ah OK I thought people were getting it via OTA
[Device Reviews and Information] zimmbadroid:
LP > MM must be flashed manually because partitions sizes are different (LP was 32bit and MM is 64bit) or something like that afaik.

Ulefone Power battery drain is awful! Something is really wrong with this battery or running processes. Does anyone have a walk-through to resolve this? I get 3 days of use where in the "same" settings I got with my THL5000 over 14 days doing the same things! I cannot seem to find what drains my battery.

Forgot to mention my phone came with Android 6.0 July 5, 2016 patch level update.
[Device Reviews and Information] fester40:
You could start with freezing/disabling/uninstalling the apps you don't use, then install CPU spy and check how much time the phone goes in deep sleep. Mine stays 95-96% in deep sleep and the battery lasts for 5-6 days, with a mild use, though. Furthermore, I use the "schedule power on & off" so my phone is off between 23:30 and 07:30. One last hint; if you don't surf, switch the phone to "2G".
[Device Reviews and Information] Nollog:
I got my gf one a few days ago. same build date and the battery from a full charge says 8 hours.

Is there something I should be turning on or off to get days?
[Device Reviews and Information] Icone24:
At the beginning the system need time to adjust itself, use it normally, let your battery make some charging cycles. It might say 8 hours but believe me that it will last more.

Unless she's playing Pokemon Go all the time, with that she can probably get 10 hours straight of play time xD
[Device Reviews and Information] NMaverick:
I have done all that. I had a THL 5000 (still do) and I get 14 days of my "normal" use. Having the same apps, battery handling and saving mode with this one give me only 3 days! I have currently installed amplify, greenify and cpu spy and L speed with the following results:

Amplify and Greenify have greatly improved battery life (12 hours and still at 100% although this might be fake). Aggressive Doze mode is enabled, fingerprint and cellular network work ok, I am currently on 2G, but will need to test further. CPU Spy showed that my phone enters Deep Sleep mode, but I am worrying if CPU clocks are also decreased (I saw some activity below 850 MHz from 4 cores for a little time and never went over 850 MHz). L Speed also claims to improve battery life, but I don't know anything about this app and its scripts yet.

From what I have estimated in order to get 14 days I need to lower the power consumption to 7% per day, or 2% per 7 hours.
[Device Reviews and Information] Kangburra:
I can't imagine having all those apps watching consumption is doing anything to help battery life. After all they are using power doing it. I don't do anything to mine and under normal usage it lasts days. I read books, browse and use the GPS a lot and still it does days. Do a factory reset and just run it with what is installed. Then if you are happy start adding your apps. If you have a problem with the basics installed that would be somewhere to start.
[Device Reviews and Information] NMaverick:
I have done that, too. This is my second week using this. The best battery consumption so far is with Greenify and Amplify. But I am still not happy...
[Device Reviews and Information] Gavin01:
Has anyone replaced screen on ulefone power ? Only 35 so I might give it a go ?
[Device Reviews and Information] 3dd1:
Have you seen the teardown video posted by Ulefone, that should help http://blog.ulefone.com/ulefone-power-teardown-video/ I will probably have to change mine, as the LCD is coming away from the glass, if it carries on getting worse, do if you do, please could you let me know how it went?
[Device Reviews and Information] Gavin01:
Video is usless as it doesn't show the screen being removed ?
[Device Reviews and Information] NMaverick:
Does anyone know how to find and stop Wakelocks on the system? CPU SPY reports that the phone is 99% of the time awake and at 1000 MHz, no Deep sleep etc. I think I will remove Greenify and Amplify, since I see no significant power savings, but then what?

Wakelock detector shows battery drain from Google Play store (WiFi is off) and from System service *alarm*. Can anyone help?

Hello, after having the phone for about a month it has completely shut down. At first I thought it was a battery problem so I left it charging for half an hour but nothing happened. I tried hard resetting it but the menu did not appear. Any ideas? All help is appreciated.
[Device Reviews and Information] Zubcho:
And what is the purpose of this ? For me this is a nonsense. This phone is for use, not pocket/shelf sitting. If you want 2G connectivity for 20 days buy a regular phone with monochrome display like Nokia from late 90's.
[Device Reviews and Information] NMaverick:
The purpose of this, is not walking around with a power bank up my @ss. The purpose of buying a high-end smartphone is not to get sucked by it all day, but to be able to do your job when you really need and you are not at your office or home (where you have a laptop or pc). To your possible surprise I also owned that 90's Nokia you mentioned, it did a fine job. And please take into consideration that I am still testing the limits of my smartphone, I want to see how long I can get it to go and how long before I start getting anxious for a charger when I use it full speed in an urgent situation.

Does anyone know if the Ulefone Power will receive Android 7?
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
Have you tried to press and hold power button for about 10s/15s to see how the phone react ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Andrew_UK:
This malware is still being installed & shipped on Ulefone devices. Given the downloadable ROMs on Ulefone's website also contain this, clearly it it's coming from Ulefone directly.

Plus, like a lot of malware, it's reporting back to a Command and Control server in China.

Force stopping and disabling the "Search Service" does NOT, stop the service from running. I have found even thought the app is disabled and doesn't have permission to perform background data usage, it still does.

Invalid IMEI -_-

Hey guys,

A few days ago i received my ulefone power, after using it a few days i decided to root it. Btw its a great phone :)

So i flashed 6.0, installed magisk, systemless root, systemless xposed.

But i lost my IMEI by doing that. I still have it on paper.

So i tried to set it by the developers options but it sais this isnt allowed with my custom rom.. So i was able to set it with a xposed addon, but set it for sim1 and sim2 the same (i only have one sim inverted).

Now i am able to send and receive calls and sms, but cant connect to my mobile internet :( in my status bar it still sais "invalid imei" where u should be able to toggle mobile data.

Help plz :eek:

I had to flash a full stock ROM as the NVRAM was corrupt.

Then I did this

1. Go to Engineering Mode with this code * # * # 3646633 # * # *
2. Type it on call pad
3. Engineering Mode show on your phone screen
4. Go to CDS info
5. Go to Radio info
6. then go to Phone1 (For the first IMEI No)
7. At the top there is a command line which begins "AT+" just type there "AT +EGMR=1,7,"IMEI_1" (Instead of IMEI_1 put your first IMEI No)
8. Hit send command
9. If you done just reboot the phone
10. If you change the second IMEI No then go to step 2 and select "Phone2"
11. And enter the code "AT +EGMR=1,10,"IMEI_2" (Instead of IMEI_2 put your second IMEI No)
12. Hit send command
13. Reboot your phone

I then flashed the ROM I wanted and then TWRP and root etc. All working in about half an hour. :)
[Device Reviews and Information] Unlucky25:
Ty for your reply :)

Funny thing is that i just got it working, i just changed ymthe imei again with a xposed addon. Now i can send sms, receive and send calls and use my mobile internet, but it still sais "invalid imei" in the status bar..
[Device Reviews and Information] Unlucky25:
btw, might be a noob question but im not sure..if i want to root the phone again, can i just factory reset/reflash it, or do i have to uninstall magisk, xposed, phh's su before?

Thanks in advantage :)

[Device Reviews and Information] NMaverick:
I thought I'd report back my findings after smashing my head for 2 weeks on abnormal battery consumption. The phone appeared "active" holding a constant 1 GHz state, although it also seemed hibernating a lot. I knew that fingerprint consumed "some" battery, but had not realized that this was the one keeping the phone working all the time! After disabling it, I now have deep sleep about 94% of the time and battery consumption dropped in about 1-2% PER DAY!!! Estimation gives around 100 days on the use I now do instead of only 3-4 days. You can see the difference in consumption by this statement, but my target is 15 days with normal use and not 50 days without even touching the phone. I just had no idea what was eating my battery.

No Ringtone

Hi,i need help,

i am on Ulefone Power with official-Ulefone-Power-fw-07.18-xposed+gravity+TWRP-31 from successfully needroms flashed. 2 Weeks from that on i got a strange behavior of the Ringtone. I found no systematic in it. After restart or applying a rule to the Ringtones Profiles the phone is in silent mode. When i switch down and up volume manually and change profiles it sometimes fixes that problem. I dont have "not disturb" mode switched on. I use Gravitybox with xposed and tested all possibilities in media. Plus, the start sound in Boot animation is no longer there / not to here. Does anyone experinced similar Problems? A possible solution. Can i reflash the rom with not losing my userdata and Apps? How?

Thank You
