Thanks for testing. Fact is that the game should normally run smooth. It runs smooth on other brands/phone models using the same SoC like the Ulefone Power. So Ulefone have to fix that issue in the ROM. So far we only found the issue in Asphalt 8, but more games could be affected.
[Device Reviews and Information] f1c:
Wasn't there an app that could let you fake a gfx model? I am guessing Asphalt just can't detect do it assumes it's not there. Picking one should probably fix it.
[Device Reviews and Information] rob1992:
Cant say i've heard of such an app. But it is indeed possible that the GPU isn't detected. I guess the GPU driver isn't fully optimized yet?

Also on another note, while ulefone has stated "why would you need 64bit cpu" in one of their Facebook posts they do advertise the power as having it. And yes the CPU is indeed 64bit however apparently it runs in 32bit? i guess its another wait and see.
[Device Reviews and Information] f1c:
Googled the app I had in mind, it's this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n0n3m4.gltools&hl=en

And yeah, the CPU is definitely 64 bit, that's out of the question. I just don't understand why their OS is 32 bit since even just having it be 64 bit without any changes to apps should improve the speed.

And just to confirm from earlier: It is definitely the fingerprint background service that was generating a lot of wakelocks. I don't see any now after a full day of normal usage.
[Device Reviews and Information] axelnanol:
Am also getting excellent battery life now after disabling the fingerprint services, and following the Amplify guide. Since 8am this morning at full charge has used 5% and is saying 4 days left, with light use all morning! :eek:
[Device Reviews and Information] rob1992:
Alright, nearly at my second full drain. It seems that if you only do light things like messaging every so often it easily gets to 2.5 days. On another note, can anyone point me (if possible) how to remove the three icons from the lockscreen? I know that it cant initiate buttdialing because it wants a pin number (well for me it dous), but i rather be sure nothing happens.
[Device Reviews and Information] f1c:
Whenever I do a fresh reboot, double tap to wake stops working until I go into the settings, turn it off and on again.

Can anyone confirm this behavior? If that doesn't happen to you, do you have a new version than 16.01.16 of the ROM?
[Device Reviews and Information] rob1992:
Seems fine to me, i just turned it on to test it since i use the fingerprint to unlock the phone. But even after i rebooted the phone double tap to wake still worked.
[Device Reviews and Information] f1c:
I think one of the Xposed apps can help you there. I tried a bunch out to see if I could add widgets on the lockscreen and I believe it was "Custom Stock Lollipop Lockscreen" that let you remove the two widgets already there (Dialer and Camera) or replace them with something else.

Alternatively - or additionally - you can turn on Proximity wake-up under Power tweaks in Gravity Box so the phone never unlocks if it's in your pocket.

EDIT: You have the latest ROM, don't you? Might be one of the things they fixed. Thanks for testing.
[Device Reviews and Information] rob1992:
Woops, Forgot to say, yes i do in fact have the latest update, which is the 30/1/2016 one at this moment
[Device Reviews and Information] rob1992:
On the subject of the phone heating up when charging: So far it has reached 43 degrees for me as stated by a battery monitor app. The entire back of the phone also got warm to the touch. The fingerprint sensor probably seems warmer to me because it has metal underneath it. Also i stated before that it was sitting on a slab of metal, this was wrong. It is sitting on a bit of PCB material (the layered glasfiber stuff). I may open it up again and see if i can deduct which chip is causing the heat.

How come people are able to root using Kingroot? I tried it myself and it just wouldn't work..
[Device Reviews and Information] mr.gor:
Flash it bro

Отправлено с моего Power через Tapatalk
[Device Reviews and Information] f1c:
That actually is the stock recovery. It had me confused as well when I saw it. The Chinese symbols mean something like "No Command" and you need to get past the screen by pressing Power + Vol+ again.

Also thanks for the tip regarding Xposed Additions to remap the "smart key". I briefly tried to do it manually with the key settings but that failed. Being able to rebind that key is great.
[Device Reviews and Information] taldah:

[Device Reviews and Information] Powoli:
I got my about 2h and screen is dead piece of crap. I can hear the volume change and calling but screen is black. This is the last expirement with chinese phone. Last time i got Wico S100 and the same after 6 month screen died.
[Device Reviews and Information] f1c:
Does the screen also not work during factory mode (Power + Vol- when switching on)? Did you try flashing a new ROM? Maybe the LCD/screen drives got damaged.
[Device Reviews and Information] axelnanol:
First flash attempt I had the Chinese logo after 2nd reboot. Reflashing TWRP and then immediately flashing SuperSU prior to booting seemed to work well, no further issues.
[Device Reviews and Information] brianf2:
I assume you are only getting 2g speed with your SIM card in USA? I am on Straight Talk AT&T and only get 2g. Love the Ulefone Power, but the lack of 700mhz band 17 support is a real bummer.
[Device Reviews and Information] avatar4:
Had the same problem and only 4 days ago I think I pinpointed the culprit.

Xposed and root apps are not to blame, blame lies (in my opinion) in SuperSu beta around 2.7x.

Basically some part of SuperSu (or maybe busybox) needs linux permisive mode to operate correctly. Quickest solution for this is to download SELinuxModeChanger from fdroid market and set mode to permisive. Reboot and thats it (at least that works for me).

If this does not work, go to busybox app, uninstall busybox and than install it in system/xbin.

I also have set "Mount namespace separation" to "safe" (checked).

You will notice instantly if it works correctly. System runs faster and if you are using cflumen, there should be noticable lack of lag when using night filters.

I really want confirmation if this fixes it because phone is unusable in this state and pinpointing the bugger is in my top priority list. So post your results, and if its not working we can work further to find working and permanent solution for this (I lost a lot of time looking for fix for this f*&#kin bug).

[MENTION=3614448]ajp558[/MENTION] if you can, please try my solution and report if it works.
[Device Reviews and Information] SirDigitalKnight:
Not sure? says E with a smaller R top right of it. But yes, when I scanned for available networks is found FreedomPop 2G

Not too concerned as I am only in the states a few more months. Should get 3g/4g in Colombia.

I didn't bother to try which would/won't work, I went ahead to implement all your suggestions; knowing fully well that these things are as you stated them.

Total RAM consumption now ranges between( 1.8-2.0GB) with Android OS consuming less than 0.9GB as against 2.6+ GB. :good:

ANdroid 6.0 and Quick Charge

Hi

I´ve upgradet to 6.0 and now Quick Charge istn´t working anymore, i´ve tried 3 different roms, always the same problem.

Anybody have the same issues?
[Device Reviews and Information] euroclie:
Yes, quickcharge is broken in the current 6.0 ROMs.

Ulefone is aware of this, and should fix it in an update.

Speaking of which, in today's latest Ulefone Power-related post on their blog, they announced that they'll ship the Power with a Marshmallow ROM from now on, and that it'll be a "stable" version of the ROM.

Users like us who already have flashed their Power with the May 17th version should receive the update via OTA. I expect the ROM to also be available for USB flashing, as it'll still be needed for people still running 5.1 or the May 14th version of the MM ROM.

I certainly hope that they fix the quick charge issue rapidly!

Now, the first user to detect the arrival of the OTA update and report here will win a (virtual) beer and my eternal consideration! ;)

[Device Reviews and Information] jy_P:
Cool to hear that. I got my power yesterday but was reading this thread for a while... I'm waiting for the next mm update before flashing. I'm glad to hear that I (we) won't have to wait for long!
[Device Reviews and Information] calsgb:
I wouldn't count on that.
[Device Reviews and Information] HellsAngel_NL:
Curious if others on MM 17th release also have this issue i have every now and then,

i dont have any weird apps and have betterbatterystats which lists phone idle as the biggest drain no root either but every so often like 70% or less yesterday it was at 75% and today i wake up find the phone completely dead/drained. At first i thought bad battery maybe so i ran the pcmark battery test and that gives me a 14 hours 33 mins when it reaches from 100% to 20% where it stops so that seems very good.
[Device Reviews and Information] avatar4:
Read the post by lbromish and my replay. Maybe you have this bug.

If not, uninstall Amplify. I had it configured badly and EINT wakelock wrecked havoc on my batery.
[Device Reviews and Information] HellsAngel_NL:
I have read that post but im not rooted so no supersu, no idea whats causing it i think its just the rom itself and hopefully the ota fixes this when this comes out. I should also add it lasts me a few days till i reach ~70% im far from a heavy user but then all of a sudden it may be just dead in a day from anywhere 50 - 70% in a day where as the first ~30% (100 down to ~70%) last me atleast 3 days.
[Device Reviews and Information] seb7o:
I got my ulefone power today its really nice I have used 22% battery only today while using it nearly all the time and flashed MM 6. Now I need root, do you have some ideas how to do it? Whats the common way with this device? I do only know the bit older samsung devices.
[Device Reviews and Information] calsgb:
'Mebthebest' provided a TWPR which allows you to flash a root quite easily. I'm on my phone so I can't easily link it right now. If you look at the most that thanked post on the right of the forum it's there, I'll post a link later.
[Device Reviews and Information] seb7o:
I tried that thanks for the hint. But I think I did something wrong. I had all kinds of errors:

"PMT changed for the ROM it must be download "

"BROM error 5007"

"BROM error 2022"

etc.

I tried quite a few times but I was always red ""downloaded DA 100%".

Now my ulefone power doenst boot anymore, its completely black and not reacting to long press combos "vol+ power", "vol- power" etc..

Did I brick it?

Edit: Ok its not bricked I can connect to the phone "sometimes" and get the BROM error 5054, seems to be fixable. Trying again with stock rom, then I am hopefully able to flash TWRP 3.
[Device Reviews and Information] kozelos:
When upgrading to 6 from 5.1 you need to use "firmware upgrade" option to avoid pmt error. Then, when flashing twrp, choose "download only".

And be careful, there are many versions of twrp, for 6 only one is right. Check the site needrom.com for it. Must be specificly stated its for MM and 64bit

Strange is, sometimes rebooting pc and using other usb port helps
[Device Reviews and Information] 3dd1:
Is any one else having problems with the XDA app? Yesterday this thread didn't show in my "participated" part, did the day before and didn't the day before that. When it isn't showing, searching Ulefone brings no results either.
[Device Reviews and Information] SirDigitalKnight:
So those with MM, what are you using for power and display settings?

Eg: Adaptive Brightness (on/off), Brightness level setting?, Battery optimization on for all apps (excluding Google Play services)?

Anything I am missing? Not rooted yet....
[Device Reviews and Information] Kangburra:
No real changes to display or power and no extra apps either. I do remove (or freeze in TB) google app and things like messaging and music which I either replace or do not use. I also remove all the live wallpapers and their choice app as live wallpapers and battery life mutually exclusive. :)
[Device Reviews and Information] Hemphiz:
Off. 13%. Battery op on except for streaming apps. Location/GPS/sync off. Power nap. L speed. 3c toolbox pro. My android tools for tweaks etc (you should root ;))
[Device Reviews and Information] jy_P:
If anyone gets a Ulefone with pre-installed MM, please make a TWRP backup before you set it up and share us that backup! That would be an easy way for us to upgrade.
[Device Reviews and Information] SirDigitalKnight:
Thx

I will most likely root, just want to see what the first OTA update does. Not sure how you set brightness to 13% as my slider does not show a percentage level...

Power nap? is that the Standby intelligent power saving?

Battery saver on/off?
[Device Reviews and Information] 3dd1:
I am still unable to disable WiFi from constantly scanning, the option is missing from my phone even after upgrading from the 201614 ROM to the 2010517 one. WiFi is the biggest user of battery and iirc someone who has the option and disabled it, said that it was still constantly on. Is there any way people know to actually totally disable WiFi, unless you want it on please? My phone is rooted.

I have no idea what I did wrong yesterday, maybe I was too stoned. But today I got it all working within 20 Min.

What do you think of F2Fs on the SD-Card or even the whole android system?
[Device Reviews and Information] SirDigitalKnight:
Hate when that happens! lol

I use my Samsung 128GB card as part of the whole system. have had no issues other then when I set it up it said the card appears to be a little slow and might effect performance of the phone.... but I have seen not performance issues.... and it is the fast card you can get....
[Device Reviews and Information] 3dd1:
My main reason not to use my SD card as internal is fear of phone dying and then I won't be able to retrieve the data from my SD card. I know that the SD card could also die, so my pics are backed to Google drive but still have reservations about it. If there was a way of making the SD accessible if removed then i would.
[Device Reviews and Information] Hemphiz:
I feel no need to format as internal. I like to move my memory card around and I find the storage that comes as standard is plenty. A simple way around storage issues is to flash this http://xdaforums.com/android/software/fix-extsd-fix-v1-0b-2016-01-18-t3296266

And use obb on sd or folder mount. Easy stuff. Now you can still use your memory card as portable and move files around as if it was internal (root needed)

Because for me, fastcharge works without a hitch.

Everyone
[Device Reviews and Information] 3dd1:
Can I just double check that fast charge is working fine for you? If so could I check a few things, what is the date of your ROM you flashed and have you let it do a full charge, when on, as when on it does start off as fast charge then slows down after a while.

I hope someone might be able to help me here. I have just bought an Ulefone Power but I'm having problems setting up my Outlook account on it.

When I go through the account setup it only gives me the option to sync emails, and only with a frequency of 15 minutes, no push option, or the options to sync calendar and contacts.

I have flashed it the the official Marshmallow update from Ulefone so I'm not sure if this is what is causing the problem or not.

I have tried the same thing on a Moto G3 running MM and it works perfectly so I'm at a bit of a loss. Any help greatly appreciated :)
[Device Reviews and Information] dejavecue:
I checked it yesterday evening. I plugged it in @ 9% battery and within less than 5 minutes it was on 18%.

I didn't realise that the apparent bug is that it slows down the charging - if that is the case, then I may have it too (I don't usually notice as I charge overnight)

Build number is T875d_GQ3026AF_Power_MM_20160517
[Device Reviews and Information] LJ1981:
Just received notification that OTA update is available. I'm using latest official MM.
[Device Reviews and Information] euroclie:
I also charge overnight, and thought that the bug wouldn't be an issue, but a couple of times I got to bed with a low-ish battery (below 40%) to wake-up with not yet fully charged battery, which isn't promising if that happens too many days/nights in a row.

Also, I used to keep the phone plugged when using some 3D games to make sure that the battery level stays to the max when unplugging and going away from the desk, and now with Marshmallow, even plugged in on the original charger the same game will deplete (albeit slowly) the battery while plugged in.

I do hope that they'll release the ROM fix (via OTA or flash tool) soon!

128GB is max (though I have 200GB I might try in it and see what happens).

I at first was going to buy a cheap microsd card off Amazon but after reading all the horror stories about fake chips I just went and bought a Samsung EVO 128GB from my local BB on sale for $59.99.

I then found a 200GB Sandisk for the same price on sale on Amazon and bought that... not sure why but I am thinking about picking up a LG V10 down the road and it can handle a 200GB card.... so maybe that is why I bought it...
