Hey guys!! I've very interested on this phone. I have a Jiayu S3 and I'm considering to sell it and buy a Vernee Thor... I know that (compared with S3) is worse phone than S3 (worse CPU and GPU) but S3 size is very big for me and ( considering the price) I think that Vernee option is a very good alternative (and the source code of course!!!).

Anyway, I would like to know by users what about battery life. I read a lot of reviews but I can't get a clear view about battery life because some reviews talks about one and half days and 3 or 4 hours for screen. But I would like more info (and user experience). If it's possible, I would like to know:

- Battery life and screen time for low/medium usage (some whatsapps, a pair of calls and, very little use for visiting web pages)

- Screen time for high usage like games/play videos/etc.

I would like to compare with my Jiayu. It has higher CPU and GPU but battery is about 2750mAH. So, for low/medium usage I can get about 1,5 day battery life and about 2.5 / 3 hours for screen. And, using for games/playing videos I can get about 4/5 hours for screen time.

Thanks in advantage! :)

PD: Sorry my bad English :(

Hope I'm right here, if not please move and write me a PM.

I also have this great device. However I have problems with the Android 6 native app permission management. I disabled the permission managment coming with Mediatek, because it shows only a few apps. One step further, I removed the app with a root explorer. However still the native Android permission management grants the applications all rights after a reboot of the device. How can I get the permission management work as expected? I have a Galaxy S6 with Android 6 and there the permission management works as expected.

[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
Don't recommend it, i have the blue denim, total waste of money, bad protection, Fingerprint impossible to use cause it is too much engraved, physical keys impossible to use. I have modified it cutting all side part where are keys and i don't use fingerprint.

I recommend the better flip cover..

[Device Reviews and Information] Chr_96er:
Thanks a lot. Funny, I use neither the hardware keys (pie control instead) nor the fingerprint sensor (currently I'm not happy with it). Still doesn't sound good. Which flip cover do you mean and have you seen it in action? a mazon.de/Cover-Tasche-Vernee-Schutz-Schwarz/dp/B01FU30B78 This one with OCOLOR engraved?
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
Yes, this one with ocolor brand.

Obviously you need to like flip covers, because if you like silicone / tpu, flip cover is not as goog as expected..

Thor screen seems to be fragile, so i suggest some protection with glass of cover/case..

[Device Reviews and Information] Chr_96er:
I never had one, but I'm open to new things, especially if there currently doesn't appear to be a good case. Just two questions though and then I'm done: how easy can you take it out of the cover? I remember some covers making it really difficult/almost impossible to take out the phone. I'd like to use it only when leaving home. And do you still use a display film and if so, which?

Problematic update

Hello,

Day before yesterday (23 August) phone reported there is a new wireless update.

I downloaded it and started installation. While installing (stage with the Android icon on the screen) an error was reported and the phone rebooted without completing the installation of the update

However after the reboot the phone believes that the update did complete and reports version thor_20160816213834

Is there anything I need to do? rollback? wait for the next update?

Note 1: The phone works OK - I haven't noticed any problems at all

Note 2: The wireless update doesn't seem to be available any more. Is it a problematic update?

Many thanks,

K.
[Device Reviews and Information] jpde:
I just got my Vernee Thor today and aside from a few issues, it's an incredible phone for the price, but sadly the issues are quite annoying indeed.

Has anyone found a way to make the fingerprint sensor usable? At best my success rate is 10%. I've tried it with "normal", a bit sweaty fingers, freshly washed fingers, without the back attached (read it would work better then), added the same finger 5 times, watched the official guide video etc, but all with little if any success. It's the first phone with a fingerprint sensor I have, so maybe I'm doing something wrong or there is some secret?

Also.. is it possible (probably with root and other tools?) to have the back button on the left instead of the right and to have the other button open the app switching view? The menu button has been useless ever since Lolipop.. I just don't understand why they'd use that.
