i bought it from this seller on ebay but they are probably on gearbest too http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/iampioneer?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754 (name Iampioneer)

well there is no way to know for sure if it's really dangerous but don't see why it is on the phone & it has full app permissions & can't be easily disabled so I guess its something.

If you uninstall it please let me know how it goes and what procedure you use.

titanium backup pro DOES let me freeze pandora's box & pandora's box service HOWEVER whenever I restart the phone, they automatically defrost, so you need to freeze them everytime the phone is powered on.

again the fact that they do this suggests to me they are suspicious. I have also frozen location em2 and it remains frozen when device is powered off and rebooted.

edit if u click translate you wont see the list of apps that are apparently safe to get rid of. the user that posted the list has a nirvana avatar - hope that helps u find the post.

i'm just trying to read through more to see HOW they uninstalled them

and anything about a custom rom.

ovbs if its safe to just go ahead and uninstall them using titanium backup that would be better
[Device Reviews and Information] gilles02:
hi,me too I got mine from Gearbest and I do have a Pandora box as well and no strange problèm.:confus:
[Device Reviews and Information] little_green:
hmmm how long have you been using yours? are you just happy to use even though it might be suspicious.

lots of information here http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=729645 very hard for me as I'm relying on google translate -_-

but it says pb is safe to uninstall. click on the software safe to uninstall link and it'll take u to the list but DONT click translate when u get to that page otherwise the list dissapears. but PB & PBS are definately listed. what i dont know is HOW to uninstall them? can I simply do it using titaniumbackup or.....? sifting through pages of russian and nothing making sense lol.

are you also in the UK?
[Device Reviews and Information] deryalex96:
I got it from Tinydeal. And now a M560 PRO (32GB) is coming from there, too.

I do not want to root my phone yet, because it is fully stable, the phone call problems (which I explained few posts earlier) started just today, and I do not have the original firmware shipped with the phone. (Languages are not fully supported, some main apps knows only English)

The original shipped firmware installed on mine is: Infocus_M808_ZM1-518J-0-00WW-A04.

But I can find just these:

Infocus_M808_ZM1-518H-0-00WW-A04

and

ZM1-518J-0-00WW-A03-update

and the latest 6.0 MarshMallow posted by Taiwan101 ROM Factory

ZM1-6110-0-00WW-A01

Edit: I talked to a person, who has the phone in Vietnam with the original Chinese M560 firmware, which has NO Google Play Store installed.

He does not have Pandora Box Service. So it must be preinstalled just in the European M808 firmwares.
[Device Reviews and Information] little_green:
hmmm, my firmware is 00WW_5_18J (doesnt say A03 update)

are you in the uk? if you don't have the original shipped firmware on yours what do you have now then? did YOU update it & wouldnt that have require flashing or rooting?

I have rooted using kingroot (basically one click method) and it worked fine. I have installed titanium backup as well and have frozen pb & pbs but as I said they defrost on restart.

they are listed as safe to uninstall in the forum link i posted earlier (russian)

the firmware I found was Infocus_M808_ZM1-518H-0-00WW-A04

is the marshmallow one going to have the uk market?

do they all have PB & PBS present.

are you just going to continue using your phone & letting pb & pbs run?
[Device Reviews and Information] m808user:
I send the PandorasBoxService.apk to GDate. It is very small 15kb

With adb I only find the Pandoras Box Service but not the Pandora Box apk.

I remember their was a possibillity "remove google play store and restore original AppStore" when I pressed long on the play store icon but it seems gone.
[Device Reviews and Information] little_green:
I do not understand what u mean what it's gdate and adb?

I want to keep google play store
[Device Reviews and Information] deryalex96:
I am in Hungary, Europe.

I have not done anything with the phone's firmware since I got the phone from Tinydeal.

And I do not want to, until I get a backup of my firmware, which I find nowhere on the net.

So I kept everything untouched, I do not want to brick it (yet).

ZM1-518J-0-00WW-A04 (shipped firmware on my phone, and shows there are no updates.)

ZM1-518H-0-00WW-A04 (I do not know what is the difference between J and H)

ZM1-518J-0-00WW-A03-update (do not know what is the difference between A04 and A03)

ZM1-6110-0-00WW-A01 (This is the 6.0 Marshmallow. All the previous are 5.1 Lollipop)

Unfortunately I don't know the answer for Your question, but I will continue to use the shipped rom, hope that the call problem appeared only now...

Someone who likes flashing roms (now I don't have time) could try the firmwares above.

Maybe I'll try to Kingroot, check the network traffic, then freeze the PB and PBS, and compare results.
[Device Reviews and Information] NTC220392:
can you installer xposed for infocus m560
[Device Reviews and Information] little_green:
Yeah the easiest thing would be to use kingroot then titaniumbackup up to uninstall, hopefully someone can try that and let us know if it works.

Aren't u afraid to use it with Pandora's box active that ur passwords etc might get stolen? Why did u order the 32gb version too?

I'm not sure how to do this. This is my first root and I used kingroot which has basically one click lol
[Device Reviews and Information] bigrammy:
You used Kingroot and you're worried about a legitimate Manufacturer installed app (Pandoras box) :laugh:

Pandoras box is also installed in the Android 6 ROM version so I am pretty sure it's nothing too harmful as FiH (Infocus) is a reputable company and will be no worse than any other OEM (original equipment manufacturer) when it comes to installing their own propiorty software.

Kingroot on the other hand is a app made by well who knows who in China and I have ever only used it as a very last resort to allow custom recovery installation on devices with locked bootloaders after which I always wipe the phone and reinstall a fresh ROM which I then root with SuperSu. :good:

[Device Reviews and Information] benito9101:
I do agree with you.

Btw is your device running the Android 6 Version ? Cuz that would fix the problem since you can handle apps permission with Marshmallow .
[Device Reviews and Information] bigrammy:
Yep running 6 at the moment but not had chance to thoroughly test it just yet but seems OK so far apart from older files and folders on my external sdcard not showing up on the PC :eek: anything newly added shows up fine and all my apps can see them too so that maybe a bug or me just not knowing MM too well.
[Device Reviews and Information] benito9101:
Nice, give us a feedback if you have some time to test it out. I don't know if it's that worthy to get the update, I mean I have tried out some devices running Android 6 and except the apps permissions management I do prefer LL.

Keep us in touch and thx for your reply :)
[Device Reviews and Information] little_green:
how is everyone's battery for this device?

i've not actually been using mines as a main phone yet, just powering it up every day since I got it in the evening for 2-3 hours and playing around with it.

but tonight i turned it on and it had 25% battery left. i used the screen for 3 mins & it was down to 18% ..... wtf!? that's crazy! why so bad?

i never noticed it dropping so fast before.

i have screen set to auto brightness.

i recorded video to show u how fast it drains currently. https://vid.me/PJWw

% had just hit 15% when i started recording, around 47seconds into video % drops from 15 to 14. at 1min 29 secs it drops from 14 to 13. so it spent 47s seconds at 15% and 42 seconds at 14% ... this cannot be right surely??

after the video I dowloaded & installed facebook and it went from 12% to 6% during that 4 mins it took for fb to install
[Device Reviews and Information] deryalex96:
I have never used Kingroot. I always root on pc via custom recovery for example on samsung g900f or nexus 4 etc.

Mine keeps 24 hours on 0-24h LTE 4G, many phone calls (when phone calls work.... :eek: ), much better than Samsung Galaxy S5 (new 6.0 fw).

However in battery stats phones usually show Screen as the most power consuming thing, and this Infocus shows the "Phone - idle" as the most consuming. Interesting... :confused:

A question: Does it have stock recovery? If yes, how to get in that (with hardware buttons)?
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
you need to power it off, connect to power supply, wait a seconds and push Power and Vol+ until you can see logo.. you will enter into stock recovery (Or TWRp if you put it via flashtool or rashr/flashify with root)
[Device Reviews and Information] bigrammy:
Just quoted you for info since I was replying to someone who quoted you. :eek:

MM seems more stable for me regarding phone signal than LP version which was awful for me on the 3 network in the UK with this new MM it seems to keep signal much better but it's still early days for MM .

Booting to Recovery is very tricky indeed and takes some real practice to get the timing right.
[Device Reviews and Information] deryalex96:
[MENTION=3924647]bigrammy[/MENTION] please check me the bands (frequencies) later what your phone uses there for 4g and 3g. Here in Hungary when my samsung s5 is on 4g, the infocus is on just hsdpa and surprisingly happens vice versa on same carrier. I would upgrade infocus to MM soon because of the premission managing and phone call stability and phone signal strenght.
[Device Reviews and Information] m808user:

Hello,

Regarding the battery life, I admit it's not that good for this phone. I'm always on saving battery mode and I've seen some improvements compared to the regular mode with automatic brightness.

I also think that the percentage of the battery are not well calibrated.

For instance, I go from 15% to 2% in 5 minutes but from 2% till it switchs off it takes roughly 25 minutes.

The battery life is definitely the bad point to me about this device, but like I always have a charger at home or at work, it's not an issue to me.

Maybe the battery life goes better under MM ?

If you want to get the process to flash a new ROM on this infocus, check for Aleks Mao on youtube. He has done a tutorial, it's in russian but very easy to understand.

[Device Reviews and Information] paulroland:
Hey Guys, everytime, when i want to flash the TWRP (the versions from this thread) with the flash tool, i get this message" PMT changed for the ROM. It must bedownloaded" What does it mean? What and from where? I installed the ROM from this thread because my phone comes without any ROM ???!!! But its working now and i will finish the initial process with a recovery.

Some ideas?

CU
[Device Reviews and Information] little_green:
No not sure how....

Right OK so from what I've noticed so far the batter droppes from 46% to 36% between 11.30pm and 7.30am while I was asleep. The screen was off and I'd closed everything that was open. I had Wi-Fi off and had received no calls or texts that meant to led notification was flashing.... Why did it drop so much when not even being used?

Under battery I checked and the biggest consumer is "phone idle" not screen as most other phones show.

I have the phone set up in exacttly the same way as my other phones and none of them drop during the night... Even my zenfone 5 which had a horribly poor battery when being used.

Anyone know how I can fix this or what's causing it?

It dropped a further 3% between 7.30 AMD 10am again while idle and I was sleeping.

Also I have data switched off but the 3g still shows next to the signal bars and sometimes it changes to E? Is this normal? I definitely have it set to off.... Can't see any other way that I could switch it off

[Device Reviews and Information] little_green:
Battery draining again another 10% while over night (11.30pm-7am)

Anyone any ideas how to improve this?

Apart from it being rooted it Haas the same setup as my other devices (p8 lite and xperia z ) and neither of those drain more than 2% over night.

Data and Wi-Fi GPS are off. I use purify to clean it then clear all tasks before leaving it overnight.

I just can't determine what's running that's causing the battery to draain.

I don't have power saving mode on because all the options it has to switch things off I already set to off anyway.

Really hope someone has any idea or has anyone experienced a similar problem?
[Device Reviews and Information] benito9101:
I have no explication except the battery is not good. I will probably get Marshallow within this week, maybe the battery would be better.

But anyway you shouldn't be using Purify since it comes from Kingroot and nobody really know what those apps are doing in your phone. I've directly delete this app once it's been installed after rooting.
[Device Reviews and Information] little_green:
OK well I can uninstall purify but is there any way I can clean cache?

Probably won't update to mm unless it's ota don't feel confident to flash
[Device Reviews and Information] benito9101:
You can find out a lot of apps to clean data, check out on Google.

To flash Marshmallows, go look for Aleks Mao videos on YouTube. All is very well explained even if it's in Russian.
[Device Reviews and Information] deryalex96:
Hello, I am back again.

I flashed 6.0 over 5.1 without data wipe and it is working perfectly.

On 5.1 Viber messages did not arrive and could not be sent because built-in battery saver (even it was disabled) killed the wifi using apps running in background. There were some wifi issues as well, it was connected, but the data transfer bandwidth was 0 Kbps.

Now when I flashed 6.0 on my 16 GB and also 32 GB M808s, they work better. Battery life is much better, Viber is not killed, built in standby battery saving is enabled, and when screen is off, the power consuming is really low. Call sound quality also better, telephone app is more stable.

Pandora Service has much less permissions than it had on 5.1.

(Just and idea: Wouldn't it be useful, if we collect here the firmwares, tools, twrps for M808? I have lots of things. I think Infocus V5 should have a separated device forum on xda like other popular phones, and there could be collected everything in one place.)
[Device Reviews and Information] Opty2:
I have this phone about three weeks and really surprises me.

Screen it's awesome, camera is really good (for a 95€ value of course), a rock solid and fast system, superb quality build, and a lots of sensors (gyro, magneto, compass....) impossible to find in another 100-150€ phones.

Battery perfoms really good. In mi experience with stock rom 5.1, stand by power consuming it's perfect. About 1-2% each 6 hours

The normal perfomance has two days of usage (48h) with 3.30 hours of screen on time. But in the last chargues, it perfoms like the screeshots:

No doubt, at present, this infocus are the BEST quality/price phone that you can buy (I think better than Vernee thor also).
[Device Reviews and Information] little_green:
i'm also on stock rom. how are you getting battery to last this long?

really love the phone design and build feels and looks premium and nice to use also.

only down sides for me are the battery draining ~10% each night and the camera has quite a delay before it captures a photo.

but honestly if the logo on this was samsung,sony,apple,htc for exactly same piece of kit I guarantee people would be all over it.
[Device Reviews and Information] bigrammy:
I have had no issues with battery drain on both 5.1 and 6.0 in fact I would go as far to say this phone has one of the best and most efficient ROM's of all the MTK devices I have used so far with the exception of maybe the Sony Xperia C4 5.1 (mtk6752).

The build quality is far better than the Sony which is does not feel solid like the Infocus.

For your battery drain issue I would try a factory reset or reflash the factory firmware from the Infocus website Here http://dl.infocusphone.com/update/ZM1/ZM1-518J-0-00WW-A03-update.zip

I would never trust all Chinese sellers especially if the seals on the box were opened or if you used Kingroot which I would never ever trust. :eek:

PS:

With 5.1 I used to get random mobile network loss in low signal areas so if your phone gets a poor signal next to the bed this may account for the power drain overnight as it constantly searches for a stronger signal. You can check this by putting the phone in Airplane Mode overnight and checking the battery drop in the morning.
[Device Reviews and Information] paulroland:
Hi, good idea. Can you send us the link to your MM Version. Did you install it with the flash update tool or via recovery and zip file?

I had mine from an italien website, but there was an error during install process.

I never do things easily so I extracted all the files from the silly update.nb0 (SUTool) which took about 3 days to figure out then used SPFlashtool to flash the phone. :good:

When I get some time I will make/upload a SPFlashtool version for those more comfortable using it Rather than the SUT tool.

Do you have the TWRP from this thread? If yes, then make a factory reset, flash the rom, then flash the supersu, install an app for uninstalling system apps and uninstall f.e. the pandora files.

If you havn't got a rooted phone and you are newbie in those things. Make a factory reset, root your phone with KingRoot, load the TWRP from here https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AFTgda_hFaRERI0&cid=3A0BEC0B98CE05D0&id=3A0BEC0B98CE05D0%21585&parId=3A0BEC0B98CE05D0%21498&action=locate put it on your sd card. Then use the app "mobileuncle MTK tools" from here http://www.apk20.com/apk/291087/ (i used this one, you can surely use other ones) and install the TWRP with this tool.

Then boot in recovery, install the rom (full wipe) and the supersu, then uninstall pandoras box and so on...should work
