ulefone back cover and 3.5mm jack

Got my power a day ago. Considering the estimated shipping time was 10-15 days i was surprised when it showed up after 6 o.O.

But here's something interesting, while the battery might not be removable, the back cover is. I deduced it initially from the drawings on Ulefone's website and when i got the phone i pried it open. There aren't any places to put your nail into, so you'll have to use something like a knife (with the potential to damage your metal casing) to get it open. Doing that revealed this:

Edit: crap, forgot the minimum of ten posts. i'll try to post some of my findings in here over the next couple days and upload the pictures when i can.

After i did this i removed the screwed in plates to, basically a tear down like ifixit does. I didn't take photo's of this and i have no intention of doing it again. But it's a decently build phone, both inside and out.

So far the specs seem what they stated. The audio however seems to have a bit of an issue. or more specifically the 3.5mm jack.

It seems to be a bit deeper as normal, about a mm or so. this prevents some headsets from properly going in. What happens is that they don't quite lock into place and pop out with the slightest movement. After looking at Ulefone's own headphones I noticed the jack was a good 1.5 mm longer as my normal headset. So it is possible that the jack they used is either mounted to deeply into the body, or something else is wrong. Another thing that occasionally happens is that it thinks there is a headset with a mic inserted, while in fact it is a normal headset. This is an issue because it sometimes thinks the non existed button is pressed on the headset and stops my music. After i turned of this functionality it seems to be fine.

Now for some software bases annoyances: The lack of some buttons and an brightness slider in the notification menu. The main ones i missed where a quick button to toggle syncing and one for screen time out. Something else that's not their fault but more googles, google now. It is initially set up to respond to the button on the headset and for some reason activated every single time i plugged in a normal non mic/button pair of headphones. I can't say anything about the launcher because i find the apple style ones that don't have an app drawer absolutely atrocious. So after booting the phone and setting up my sim-card and whatnot i installed nova launcher. Something else is the button on the side, Currently it opens the standard camera app, i want it to change so it open camera fv-5 which is my app of choice. Speaking about the camera, while the sensor is the same as in the lg g4, it does not have all the features. For one i cant set the shutter speed or the focus. I hope this can be unlocked in a later date by patching.

One final annoyance i have about the phone is the taskmanager, there is no "close all" button. Now this may be something that is resolved in a patch later but right now it is annoying that it takes ages to close the many things that stay open. But considering this is software related i think it can be resolved, the 3.5mm jack is a bit of a design flaw in my opinion.
