Screen cracked. I don't think this phone has real GG3 as it scratches and cracks very easy. Is the glass replaceable or do I have to replace the entire panel for for $52? Not worth it in my opinion... :(

this phone also has fota adups pre-installed.

ulephone power latest official rom is sept 14

OTA _Power_MM_20160914_145437

last listing on needrom is:

Ulefone Power version: T875D_GQ3026AF_BOM6_Power_20160322

rom on my cherry mobile flare s5 power phone's version is sept 23

http://www.needrom.com/download/cherry-flare-s5-power/

Official Cherry Flare S5 Power version: T875d_GQ3026AF_BOM6_Flare-S5-Power_V02_20160923

it has an update,

Update Official Cherry Flare S5 Power version: T875d_GQ3026AF_BOM6_Flare-S5-Power_V03_20161025

do try the cherry mobile flare s5 power roms on your ulephone power phones because they are one and the same.

i'm not rooting it yet since it's still new. will update to october 25 version maybe weeks later.

i'm still backreading all 200+ pages here. i'm still at page 82.

i was wondering why phone idle uses more battery than screen.

i disabled fingerprint at settings but still the same.

read about those 3 LED options, so i disabled them all. and there it is, phone idle now uses less battery than screen the way it should be.

finally, thanks to xn logos of xda and stupdroid website.

[Device Reviews and Information] LeeHsiaoLung:
that wireless update is from adups malware.

same with that beautycam app that gets installed without you knowing is also from adups.

the best thing to do for those who want to maintain warranty and not root their phones yet is install firewall and see which apps wants outgoing connections behind your back.

That's great, I like that the cherry rom have the turbo download function. :)
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
Yes :D

I didn't tested yet...
[Device Reviews and Information] LeeHsiaoLung:
turbo function works in my 9/23/2016 cherry mobile flare s5 power whew whatta long name.

will wait for warranty few weeks from now then i'll root.

if i can't wait for warranty to end, which is better so that there's no evidence i flashed twrp,root etc on phone?

1. developer options > enable oem unlocking (allow the bootloader to be unlocked)

reboot phone to fastboot, then you will need magnifying glasses. don't worry the texts are in english.

then as per XN Logos' post here : http://xdaforums.com/general/general/complete-root-backup-recovery-flash-t3505592

twrp installation-

For Unlocked bootloader-

connect device to PC with usb debugging enabled,

put twrp on adb folder rename it recovery.img

open cmd on adb folder type

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Done,

iirc, if i do it this way and relock the bootloader instead of showing locked bootloader it will show relocked bootloader. so if they refer the phone to someone with know-how they won't allow warranty if the need arises.

OR

2.

Locked Bootloader-

Run Sp tools Load scatter from Recovery Folder

check Recovery only, and Load downloaded twrp.img under recovery section

Click Download as soon as Connect your Switched of Phone to pc.

Done,

How to Root-

Boot Device into twrp [use command adb reboot bootloader] or hold power and volume up key on switch of mod

Allow Modification

Make a nandroid backup

Click install Zip from sd crad

Locate Downloaded Supersu.zip file and Swipe to install

after Success go back and reboot system now

Done,

btw for those still in warranty and don't want to root yet, install firewall first.

so you'll see which app are doing outgoing access without you knowing.

i'm using noroot firewall.

we will have no choice but to deny outgoing access to these which are in 1 group - android,mtk system,wireless update,etc

because com.fota.adups and com.fota.adups.sysoper are system apps embedded in the firmware posing as legitimate system apps.

that's how i caught adups adware/spyware on my chinese tablet without knowing what it is back then.

for those already rooted:

to stop it from running in the background.

1. adb shell pm disable com.adups.fota

2. adb shell pm disable com.adups.fota.sysoper

then find and delete com.adups.fota and com.adups.fota.sysoper folders.

[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
Hey mate,

I installed the Stock Flare s5 rom, then v3 update with "SP FlashTools" and TWRP either :)

I'm updating the other post.
[Device Reviews and Information] LeeHsiaoLung:
flare s3? i think you meant Flares S5.

cherry mobile flare s5 power.

i'm liking the htc sense ui now on our power phones. :)
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
Yes, you're right XD

Battery capacity is awesome !!
[Device Reviews and Information] snickola:
And what about IR Remote, does it work properly?

Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
In my phone is working....

The ROM doesn't bring any app to use with IR, you need to download it via playstore or something like that, but is working.
[Device Reviews and Information] Ibromish:
Do you mind posting pictures of the cherry mobile flare s5 (an exact replica of power except for the nomenclature) firmware on power in operation, so other power owners like me could be convinced to try out the cherry firmware (official or custom)

;)
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
I didn't install the sense ui, it's really good ?

Ibromish, I was not convinced for the first time, but I have searched and S5 Flare mobile is really a copy of Ulephone Power...

I tryied and it's all ok, just follow the steps I did with SP Flash Tools.

"Firmware upgrade" for Rom.

"Download Mode" for TWRP (just select Recovery option).

"SuperSU" Transfer to SD card and install with TWRP.

This rom gave to my phone a new life (for now).

You will not regret.
[Device Reviews and Information] Ibromish:
...would love to see the pictures do the talking. Meanwhile, I would love to see miui rom for s5 flare (ulefone power, same specs) since it's got its bootloader unlocked.

XDA developers, here's a challenge for us, I wish I could do the cooking of the roms; but I've got no expertise in that (willing to learn though).
[Device Reviews and Information] f1c:
That's exactly the issue. No LED color works besides the blue one in those apps, so I guess the OTA isn't worth installing for me then.

Thanks for testing.
[Device Reviews and Information] Krauthaus:
Good News m8es! Last month ulefone said that there is no "need" for a 64 bit rom because "it only bring benefits if you have more than 4gb ram". Some people on facebook told them that this is not the only benefit, and it seems that they changed their mind about the 32/64 bit rom! The rom in the video is still 32bit, but there is hope:D

[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
before trying please make a full backup on your sd, so if won't boot you can easily restore backup..

on the last needrom 01/20/2016 OTA will not work, TWRP foud an error .. but with olde version 16th january, seems to be OK!

do the new twrp SUPPORT the cryptography on?

i hava a k3 note and my twrp ( 2.8.7.0) do not support crypt.... so after i enabled it, i CANNOT use anymore twrp because twrp don't see anymore internal memory so it's impossible for me to install or make backups.....nandroid.
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
Never tested with my Power, but if you can see in the twrp 3.0.0.0 release build, cone of the changelog is the crypt compatibility in some case.

Nothing.

megthebest what is wrong on your zip for TWRP
[Device Reviews and Information] Krauthaus:
Did you actually READ megs post? "Some guys" mean "it could work for you" not "flash this zip i guarantee you success". :) Just wait a week until 6.0 is out there.
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
this is the original zip from OTA, so if it doesn't work i can't do more..

First try to remove SD and update zip from internal memory (Power switch memory SD0 and 1 when you put SD)

thanks..

success rate is not known..

probably starting from rom 16/01 you can have a bit more success..

Hi guys,

Successfully installed Cherry Mobile ROM on my Ulefone Power. Not sure if placebo but phone seems smoother now and I noticed SOT improved by 15-20% on my 1st discharge cycle.

Anyone tried HTC sense package, any screenshots, does camera work?
[Device Reviews and Information] darksnoopy:
Anyone else experiencing ghost touches on the fingerprint sensor?
[Device Reviews and Information] LeeHsiaoLung:
none when i was using it before.

but most of us disabled it because it was causing huge wakelocks.
[Device Reviews and Information] kozelos:
Fingerprint sensor in android 6 is without any big influence on battery life. Big improvement and no reason for not using it...!
[Device Reviews and Information] darksnoopy:
Once i left my battery completely die and since then, ghost fingerprint started. I was hearing the phone vibrate and after a while, the screen came one saying "fingerprint not recognized" or something like that. After messing around i think i fixed it. Time will tell.

For sure fingerprint recognition is lightning fast in android 6 compared to 5 but i still miss the custom actions per finger and the ability to choose led colors for sms/calls in android 5

P.S On needrom there is the ota.zip of the September update in case you can not download it FOTA

Hi I am just curious, how would this phone compare to my ageing nexus 5 on stability, SOT, camera and responsiveness vise.
[Device Reviews and Information] zimmbadroid:
Hi,

I switched from Nexus 5. SOT is amazing, now on Cherry Mobile ROM I manage to squeeze up to 12.5 hrs of SOT. Pretty much stable but wouldn't compare it with Nexus devices, this one doesn't have any custom development support. Camera on Nexus 5 is way better than this one, the only thing I really miss from Hammerhead. And yeah, it's way bigger phone then Nexus 5.

Got an advice a few days before about an update via OTA but nothing happens when I try to install this update.

Download the file, around 45mb and then after klicking on "install" there will appear "Reboot" and nothing more, no reboot or anything like that, update will not install no matter how long I let the process running.
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
Do you have TWRP installed ?

[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
I have Cherry rom intalled and no issues, bluetooth ok, gps ok, sound (music, calls phone/internet) ok...

Normal ulephone power rom i have many issues.

Maybe some phones are good with other roms, others don't, but I don't know why.
[Device Reviews and Information] glamredhel69:
It's very strange, I have no problems ulefone apart from wifi occasionally not turning on. With my phone on cherry rom sounds like your experience with ulefone.
[Device Reviews and Information] darksnoopy:
+1
[Device Reviews and Information] fedenl:
I installed the cherry rom. I do not see any improve regarding battery and Ihave the feeling that the battery is draining faster. The rest works OK. I couldn't uninstall most of the Cherry Apps but I disable them in the Application menu and at least I do not see them anymore. The animation and sound when booting or shutdown is terrible.
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
If you have rooted your phone, install from googleplay "System app" from Jumobile company, it's and app with a red icon with a recycle bin, with that you can uninstall all the apps you don't want from system.

For the battery improvement, I use Amplify, Greenify and Power nap. You need install Xposed framework first.
[Device Reviews and Information] fedenl:
Thanks for the tip. I will install the app. I do have Greenify and Powernap, with Xposed framework. I used to get 2 full days per load with 30% left and I'm now getting 2 full days but at least yesterday it went down to 19%. It's early to compare since I install the Cherry version last Thursday.
[Device Reviews and Information] AngelOfBlood:
I can't give you any info about my drain battery, but I can say to you with ulephone roms with Greenify, powernap, and amplify my battery goes down in 1 day, maybe a little more than that.

With cherry, my battery duration now goes to max 4 days, but normal use 3 days... (basic games, wifi always on, calls, many messages, skype and whatsapp).

Facebook I use with chrome, the app consume many battery, and the same for messenger.

;)

Last thing.

I deactivate all the apps I couldn't uninstall with the app I tell you.

Some times I turn off services from google app and other applications !
[Device Reviews and Information] fedenl:
In my case, I do not use Facebook and I'm mostly listening music/audiobooks via bluetooth and 15 minutes of Duolingo when I go to the office in the train every morning, plus whatsapp and check weather app once or twice per day. I installed everything you mention but haven't tweak those apps yet.

In the screenshot (I hope it works ... this is my first attempt) you can see that I will get around 2,5 days from the current battery. The sharp drops are related to the moments in which I am going to work or back home. Looks like I drain the telephone while seated in the train listening or maybe the 3G is not strong in that area. After I'm home or in the office, everything looks fine.
