So I tryied to install the app but says "no root detected" when the phone have root.

TWRP + Supersu is all installed and running, and all the apps with necessity of root permissions is running any ideas ?
[Device Reviews and Information] euroclie:
Hello,

I tried to launch No Frills CPU, but it won't even start (complains about no root, probably because I'm using systemless root).

I was able to install and launch Kernel Toolkit, though, which probably does the same job... Will let you know the effects after a couple of days use. Thanks for the idea, anyway!
[Device Reviews and Information] jy_P:
I said NO frilz because I used to use that one and it is free... I'm surprised that you have that problem.

I'm rather using SetCPU, I don't have a free version and don't remember if there is one.

But I can tell that Set CPU works. There are many other that you can try too, some free some not.

Sorry if I miss leaded you on something that isn't working. I thought I was giving you the fastest and cheapest option.
[Device Reviews and Information] euroclie:
Don't worry, I was just mentioning another app that seems to do the job as well, in case other users face an error message like me with No Frills CPU.

In my case, I suspect that this may be caused by the systemless installation of SuperSU.

There are so many similar apps that it's sometimes tricky finding one that with your phone, hence the need of users report like yours and mine to narrow down the choice without having to test them all!

I was able to flash the latest 07-18 rom and after i flashed TWRP again and SuperSU i was finally able to delete the CallerIDSearch.apk. I often had a 2nd HomeScreen with a Link named Chrome and i wondered how it could be there. And sometimes when i opened Chrome i had this fake "Virus" alert and popups. I wonder why devs even install non removeable bloatware on such a nice phone :(

Is there any other Malware? Should i scan with a software like Malwarebytes just to be sure?

I have been fobbed off by Amazon now as well who are saying that I am not covered by their A-TO-Z Guarantee, as the claim is after 30 days, so they aren't interested either, thank you so much Amazon, I paid £140 from them, rather than £100 if I had sourced direct from China, foolishly thinking I would at least be offered some kind of protection.

It therefore appears that this doesn't come with any warranty of any worth, fantastic!

Hello! I wanted to know how common the screen responsiveness problems are with this phone? Is this worth the 150€? I mainly use just messenger, whatsapp and a few gps apps.
[Device Reviews and Information] Icone24:

I have bought myself a pair of xiaomi pistons hybrid they are working but the buttons of the control unit do not work at all. Is this normal? Do I have a dud? I bought them from gearbest. It looks legit.

Also the headphone jack is so bad in ul. Power. The left side of the earphone does fully work except if I twist it a bit and leave it untouch. Even a small touch makes it losing its left channel again which makes it pretty much useless. The original headphones works flawlessly though. Is this normal?? I am so frustrated I want to fix this but avoid returning it back as faulty etc.

Just to add the jack was loose and I managed to bend the top metal notch-pin at the top of the jack and is nice and stiff now but still problematic.

Hi ,

Help!

I was using my phone on low power and battery died.

So i left it overnight to charge and when i try to turn it on , it wont start up :(

All i can get to is a black screen with the options

Recovery

Fastboot

Normal

but none of these work either and screen dies again.

Any suggestions to get it going again?
[Device Reviews and Information] euroclie:
Hello,

Normally, you only get this screen if you're booting to recovery... At least the phone's not entirely dead!

If you can't select normal with the volume up key to scroll and volume down key to validate, then you might have to reflash the system partition in case it has somehow been corrupted.

Also, if this fails, you might want to try flashing the boot partition (if the phone boots to recovery instead of normal boot, this could be a problem with the boot partition itself... Just a blind guess, though.

Weird its not booting after reflashing?

At least i can do that , ive tried format and download and download only with rom from may.

Am downloading latest so will try that later

Any advice on how to best go about this>?
[Device Reviews and Information] euroclie:
Does it always boot to the recovery / fastboot / normal menu ?

If so, maybe there's a stuck volume key?

Did you try to boot to hardware test menu (I think it's volume down + power buttons) and see (with Google Translate if you can perform a check of the buttons, or other tests?

[Device Reviews and Information] fester40:
@ life**** I think that if you want to downgrade to Lollipop, then you must set SP Flashtool as Firmware Upgrade when you flash. Take into account that doing so, you run a risk of losing IMEI numbers.

Flashing Boot.img system.img and cache.img of the lollipop rom from ulefone using fastboot worked fine for me.

One thing that bugs me:

When not using the ulefone charger but a 5V 2A one the phone only charges slowly drawing ~0.5A. Anyone else experienced that? This way charging in the car takes ages....

The charger needs to be able to push a bit more than 5v. I also have some very old 5v 2a charger that gives 5.25v, the phone pulls 1.67a from it and charges pretty quickly. My ulefone charger gives about 6v. I hope that helps you.

I push the screen edges in, squeezing the screen against the phone, trying to see if I couldn't find any impact on the touchscreen and strangely I can't reproduce it anymore. That seems to have fixed the touchscreen. Try it.

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

You can flash the latest MM straight from TWRP recovery. That is the way I do it for the last 2 updates and I have no problems with phone. That works for updates only thought.

Moving from 5.0 TO 6.0 require partitions resizing / formating which you can only do by using the desktop application. But don't worry, the explanation are clear on Ulefone website and the procedure is really simple.

Hi guys,

My blue Power arrived today. It came with 6.0 and 3 updates were available and now on latest version.

Everything seems to be working.

Fingerprint scanner works fine except when I put finger a bit outside the circle. Did some walking Google maps navigation with mobile data on without issues. Calls volume and signal reception are fine, as well as mobile data. No 4g coverage in my area, so I can't say anything about that.

I generally like the phone, camera is not even close to my Nexus 5 8MP camera but I knew that, I bought it for battery capacity mostly. Can't say anything on battery yet, but I would be satisfied with 2 days of my usage.

The only thing that bugged me so far is when there is no internet access on a wifi network on which I am connected to, it doesn't automatically switch to mobile data which is case with Nexus 5 (feature was introduced in lollipop afaik) where it still shows wifi connection icon but with an exclamation mark + mobile data connection icon. I have to switch off wifi in order to use my data.

OK, just wanted to report my experience so far because I have high hopes for this device ?

Regards
[Device Reviews and Information] J_The_Nerd:
Hi

I too came from a nexus 5 to the power, mine is also the blue, although my power is currently returning from China after a warranty repair so currenty using Moto x first gen. Anyway if you can get a day out of the 2300mAh battery on the 5, 2 days should be easy from 6050mAh power. Can't really help with your WiFi issue as I'm on unlimited data so don't use WiFi although the guys here are all great so maybe one of them has a work around for it.

It took me a while to get used to the back button being on the other side (kept pressing the menu key) but other than that the power is excellent and I can't wait for mine to come back.

Did you tried faster GPS app?

A rom won't fix your GPS since most people don't have trouble with it. It must be a configuration problem that you might be able to fix with faster GPS, or, it is a bad batch of phone which would not be fixed by a new rom. Good luck anyway..
[Device Reviews and Information] geheimke:
Yes i have try faster gps and you have faster gps fix. 10 seconds if you stay on one place yes. If you drive in a car a few km / milles, using internet and GPS all people have problems with the gps, navigation programs like waze. The problem is that ulefone never test enough the devices/roms before they post it online. if you use facebook or other applications gps is works fine, do you drive a car it DON'T works with gps and data. a device of 50 usd works the gps better in the car.
[Device Reviews and Information] euroclie:
Unfortunately it's probably a bit more complicated than that, I've been using the Ulefone Power for a couple of months now and I NEVER had any issue with the GPS while driving (I use Waze a lot). I've been using Lollipop then Marshmallow ROMs, and never noticed anything special with the GPS.

That being said, I used my Power while hiking this summer, and sometimes in the montains the Power would lose position and the fix would skip around for a while until the phone was in better view of the satellites, I suppose. Also, sometimes while playing Pokemon Go, the position seems to be consistently offset by a few meters but this erroneous shift remains constant over time, so this might be more a game issue than a GPS issue. Last thing I noticed while hiking, the GPS-computed altitude was sometimes a bit different from the actual altitude (about 50m low when reaching the peak of a mountain at 3144m altitude, with a perfect fix with 16 satellites)...

In a nutshell, the GPS itself seem average in performance, and I suspect more a quality (per-device) issue than a ROM issue, or maybe a conflict between the GPS and the phone data radio module, as suggested by other users?
[Device Reviews and Information] geheimke:
Hi, I think it's a conflict between the GPS and the phone data radio module. Because i have tested 2 ulefone power, same problem, i never try LP.... If you want to use MM you have to flash/format the phone complete. because LP and MM don't have the same partition sizes. Are there users that return to LP because the gps troubles?

Hey Guys,

So My partner whom I bought the Ulefone Power, does not seems to work properly, the speaker (where you put your ear when in a call) and the microphone doesn't seem to work properly, also the headphone jack. Everything else seems to be normal?

Since we tried using the engineering mode, and we failed miserable with it, could you perhaps recommend a better mod/custom ROM for the device that could fix these issues? Or should we just revert to 5.1 instead of Marshmallow?

Any help is welcomed.
