It seems the problem is in some app or in the Android Rom 6.. Users of Samsung S7 and others are experiencing that issue " Link ".
[Device Reviews and Information] Kweck:
I don't think it is the same issue. As long my phone is connected i.e. to a Headset or BT Speaker and playing music it works (except some rare cases but that might have been my fault by walking around and get out of reach).

It more looks like the Bluetooth is getting disabled due to inactivity. But it shouldn't because the Smartwatch is still connected.
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
That's strange...

Make a test to see how much you can get out of reach, and if the bluetooth turn off after that !

Are you using any application like (Amplify, Greenify or Powernap) ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Kweck:
No, I don't have Apps like that installed. Just rooted,XPosed and Gravity Box. Beside the Wear App nothing special regarding Bluetooth nor Energy safing.

The whole day everything was fine. I left my phone in the office left the room several times and Bluetooth steayed on.

I thought it is gone after I switched intelligent power safing mode and reboot this morning.

Now I read your post, looked at the phone aaaaand, Bluetooth is off. Only difference I can imagine is that I don't have Wifi at work.

I switched off Wifi and try what happens now. Maybe that influences the behavior.

One more thing:

If I open Settings -> Battery -> scroll down to Bluetooth and open it there is a Line saying "Adjust power use" and below that "Turn off Bluetooth when you aren't using it"

Tapping on that brings me to the Bluetooth options. But there is no opetion to change it.

I checked that on my second device (with stock Power ROM) and it's the same. But this device leaves Bluetooth always on, even if there is no connection.
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
I can't check that option in Battery, I try put it on but doesn't show me any kind of information on battery menu... By the way I don't have any kind of hardware to pair with bluetooth, but I know what you are talking..

This lasts Android Roms doesn't bring that option about set the time of bluetooth stays on..

Maybe you can reach it in "Build.prop" file, or other file similar to that in Android Root, don't know for sure.

I asked you if you use that apps because you can set triggers (in Amplify) maybe you can detect the bluetooth option and see how much is the time to stays on.

Test the wifi off, can be a cause of conflict...

The problem is only in one device pairing ? Or you have that problem in more ?

Sorry about bad english, if you don't understand something just tell me :)
[Device Reviews and Information] Kweck:
Everything is fine with your english. I'm also not a native speaker. But it works for me.

I have no problems with pairing.

But maybe I have a hot track here. I tested several scenarios but with no luck.

But today (while riding my bike because of the great weather today ;) ) I tried to answer a call. That didn't work. The Bluetooth just disconnected from the headset in my helmet. I tested that several times and always disconnect. Then I realised the Option "Phone Audio" in the Bluetooth Settings of the Headset was not set and I was not able to set it.

That lead me to a workaround that I found in the web.

If you switch off bluetooth there is a link to location services. There you can switch off bluetooth scanning. After I did that I was able to enable the Phone Audio and the phone calls work.

Maybe, and I hope so, this location service bluetooth scanning has to do with my issues. That would make sense when the system scans and after scanning tries to switch off BT.

Since I switched that off my bluetooth stayed on (several hours now). Wish me luck.

Funny thing: The option to get to this Bluetooth scanning is gone now. I don't know where to find it.

I appreciate your help even that you can just guess. Sometimes just a second brain with some ideas leads to the right path.
[Device Reviews and Information] zimmbadroid:
Just search "scanning" from settings to find scanning options ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Kweck:
Oh, man. That was too easy. Thanks.

Anyway, I think it is a strange behavior to remove the link where I found it first after switching.

Just to (hopefully) close this case: Since i switched bluetooth scanning off I had no issues anymore and I can't see any disadvantages reagrding battery life.

guys, have you encounter after flashing Flare rom v3, I've lost 3g data ability, only voice.

no matter i flash back to stock rom v1 or v2 still not getting 3g data...
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
I have the last Cherry rom and tested now, Data 2g/3g/4g it's ok for me !

See if your Access Points (APN's) configuration is ok mate.
[Device Reviews and Information] GhardSama:
Not sure if the battery lasted longer for me, but the heating is reduced. The fingerprint sensor have the same issue, working but sucks the battery.

I have a problem with CM S5 rom, the bottom left button showing now running apps instead of menu (in apps).

Tried to change function whit gravitybox, buttons remapper app, copied all files from ulefone rom to /system/usr/keylayout/, but no luck.
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
Hey mate,

The button problem is not an issue, they change it for that rom. Don't know why but I read that somewhere... The killerapps button is the left now, just need to adapt.

The heating problem, is true... I don't have more heat problem like ulefone roms, they can make an good egg with the phone xD

Problem resolved for me...

About fingerprint what is your problem ? Mine is working well !!

If is about battery, if it helps, I use this apps to improve battery life, 3 days of moderate use. In heavy use almost 2 days, and all day playing 1 day.

APPS:

- Amplify

- Greenify

- Powernap

And to make history from battery I use:

- BetterBatteryStats.

Hope it help.

Hi mate

My Power goes crazy

Drop down menu on the top of the screen has stopped working,

Now have to change WI-FI, mobile Internet, location etc, from the settings menu. Try to reset the phone-in result. I am on original 5.1 Android

Any idea?

Thank you
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
My advice is to you install again the rom, or any recent rom.

If you have backup of your rom, just recover the backup to any date without problems..

:)
[Device Reviews and Information] kalinntv:
How do I know, do I have backup this to or not?
[Device Reviews and Information] Melkor:
Sounds like one of the the "usual" hardware defects of the device: I had this problem at the button and many users here had similar problems after months of use. Parts of the touchscreen stopped working and the sensitivity cannot be recovered without opening the device...

But before sending it back: Try angelofbloods advice. Backup your data and reset the device first. Then it should be in original state. Maybe you can flash an backuped ROM or the original ROM from Ulefone
[Device Reviews and Information] kalinntv:
It does not seems to be hardware problem. If I open a photo for testing the screen, and I touch this part of the screen, it is sensitive. This makes me think that the screen is OK and the problem is software.

I try to open recovery menu by pressing power and volume down, but it is in Chinese I can not understand anything....
[Device Reviews and Information] kozelos:
i stopped using power because of 1cm stripe not responsing on touch. When checking touchscreen, it sometimes worked and showed touch correctly. But in normal use it was useless..
[Device Reviews and Information] valipalakeksi:
Hi. Where can i get cheapest battery replacement for Ulefone Power? Is it easy to change?
[Device Reviews and Information] Melkor:
On Aliexpress there are a lot of offers.

Easy: it's not easy but not hard too: Best way to open the Power by using a guitar pick (or similar) to remove the back case (start at the edges) , then you have to remove the screws on the top of the phone to get to the battery cable (it is just plugged in).

Now the "hard" and dangerous part: The battery is fixed with tape. In my case I needed a lot of force to get the battery out. And that's the problem: if you damage the battery it may explode/burn. So do it outside, don't use hard/metal things like screwdriver to get it out! ;)

At Youtube you can find some clips how to do it...
[Device Reviews and Information] zimmbadroid:
Search this thread, there was a video of battery replacement procedure as I recall.
[Device Reviews and Information] Melkor:
I realized that my fingerprint sensor has gone crazy: When it lies at a paper for example the screen is going on and shows a message "fingerprint can not be recognized"...

Problem is not depending from ROM (but original ROM seems not that worse than Cherry...)

Any news for rooting the ulefone power 2 so far?

[Device Reviews and Information] dreadkopp:
nvm. flare s5 power rom works fine so far on my ulefone power except my imei is gone :/

Fingerscan works great, no random shutdown/reboots so far.

edit: flashed secro.img from the ulefone on it (dunno if needed) and changed imei afterwards via engineer menu.

editedit: is there any fix for extremely slow loading. 0-100 takes ~11h

Editeditedit: still got the problem that the phone sometimes does not Wake up from locked Screen (or did shutdown)... same with Stock Firmware. Known Problem ? Detective Battery?
[Device Reviews and Information] theoppositeman:
Might be the battery.

I just replaced my battery with a new one after the old one is swollen thanks to the super sticky double sided which the put double just at the right side below the battery and the screen flex cable is between the double sided.

check whether the battery stats drop drastically even after fully charged and if its switching off automatically in regular basis, thats just mean it needed a new batt.

heard some of users had the same issues with the battery. most complaints are in the ulefone site.

:):D
[Device Reviews and Information] dreadkopp:
Thanks Mate. Thought about the battery as well since charging is dead slow as well.

Sometimes it shuts down, sometimes it reboots, sometimes it just dies not Wake up properly (message-led still blinking)

+ I got these gaps when phone was off of 5-10% battery life

Just bought a g3 with 9600mha extended battery. Not 100% whether i will fix or trash the ulefone.

hi is there a marshmallow version for ulefone power 2?
[Device Reviews and Information] supermarioprof:
battery gone and strange behaviour

Hi! I've got the "usual problem" with Ulefone Power battery, now the system seems unable to know the charge level and the phone suddenly shutdown.

Ok, I've got a new battery and I can change it.

But I noticed a few things maybe useful to improve battery usage from Android: I'm not a developer, just a user, so I report what I found and left developers to make their job!

So, my phone usually, not always but usually, shuts down (using the damage battery) when I open "gallery" or "camera app" while some other apps are open, just like a burst of current was claimed to do the job requested. If this is right and the problem concerns current bursts, new battery will receive the same treatment and will die as soon as the previous one, this is bad! I don't know but I'm quite sure this is not Android related (I've been using Marshmallow official ulefone ROM and now Cherry Mobile Flare S5 ROM) but hardware related.

If so...probably there's no solution!

Secondly, after shutdown charging phone with phone powered off didn't charge up to 100%, when I power on it battery is always less the 100%, usually 70%.

Ok, battery is gone and so Android can't measure charge level correctly, I know, but maybe this is related with previous facts.

[Device Reviews and Information] peido:
If you're still having problems with the level of battery, try using an app like "batteryCalibration": charge the phone until 100%, use the app, spend all the battery until 0% (let the phone turn off by itself), recharge until 100% without break.

Hi, My Power charge veeeery slow (for several months). I'm on MM_20160718. It's under 1A and only 5,2V and falling down to 0,5A and even less (0,25-0,35A) after about 50% battery charged. At the beginning on LP phone charging very quickly (and become very hot). Now on MM take whole day to charge from few percent to full. What should I do? Upgrade to 20161206 should help? I don't want to do that if it isn't fix.

Hi guys,

It seems there is a new software version released on Oct 27. I flashed it, could not see any changes except for a newer Android security patch level (which is a plus, after all).

It is still Android 6, unfortunately not 7, and seems to be done by a Russian guy. Could not check yet for malware/trojans.

Hello to everybody,

I have the same problem (ear speaker doesn't work in calls). Headset is working fine and when I activate the "big" media speaker during the phone call it's al.so working fine, but I don't want all people around me listening to my phone calls…

I deactivated the Sound Enhancements but the problem still persists. Strange is that everything worked fine till this morning and suddenly the problem appeared. I did not install or change any SW...

Would be great if someone would have any additional idea about how to solve this.

Thanks in advance!
[Device Reviews and Information] Icone24:
First of all try to do a factory reset, just don't forget to backup your personal stuff.

If that doesn't work you've probably a faulty ear speaker and needs to be replaced.

Good luck!
[Device Reviews and Information] felleggr:
First of all: Sorry for the late reply, I have been on holidays.

Thank you for your suggestion. I did a factory reset but the problem persists. As the problem was there from the very beginning I will return the phone on warranty.

[Device Reviews and Information] Autobahn91:
2. Yes it is possible because I have the same issues with notification bar. It is visible when something Grey is around the notification bar (screen tester). The screen burns in... It's really annoying especially when using Google maps and using the app for an hour. Static parts burn into the whole display. It disappears when using apps but the notification bar burn in will never go away because it's always more or less static. I am wondering if more people experience the same burn issues we have?
[Device Reviews and Information] f1c:
I checked now as well and this is indeed a burn in. It's pretty mild all things considered and only shows up in one particular test but yeah, it's real.

Is there a way to increase the quality of music via bluetooth headphones? Its pretty lousy. I know that in older versions of android you could set sbcsources=0 to fix it but i dont know the way in lollipop.
[Device Reviews and Information] rob1992:
Cant say that the audio is bad via bluetooth. Its actually pretty good and way better as my old phone. What are you expecting to change when you change that parameter?

As a sidenote, the only problem i encountered with bluetooth is when i turn of the bluetooth transmitter in the car before i turn it of on the phone the phone occasionally bugs out. By this i mean that if you turn off the bluetooth on your phone it stays forced of when you try to turn it back on again. In order to fix this i need to restart the phone. This dousn't seem to be a phone related problem, it's due to the dodgy audio interface. It is one of those things that acts like a cd changer so you can use the factory radio.
[Device Reviews and Information] darksnoopy:
When sbcsources=1 then the phone recompresses the mp3 before sending it to the headset so there is quality loss. The optimum settings are SBCSources=0 MPEG12Sources=1. The thing is i usually have my headphones volume at full and adjust the phone volume from the phone buttons. The quality loss is more obvious when i have phone volume=medium, headphones volume=full. I didnt have the problem with my previous phone (HTC One). As for the car, everything works ok except this, it happened two times: If i try to play music from a player diffrent than the stock one, i dont have music output. I can see the song and artist name on the car display, but i dont have sound. Same thing when i play youtube on the phone, but i get no sound on the car speakers. But using the stock player everything is ok
[Device Reviews and Information] f1c:
I remember there being a lossless Bluetooth option in my old kitkat phone but like you, I haven't found it on lollipop (and to be fair, I am not sure I would use it considering audio already sometimes cuts out when listen outdoors).

That said, have you looked into Viper4Android FX? People seem to love that and there are tweaks for Bluetooth devices. Requires root though.
