i've also your problem.

is this bug present with 11-23?

i use 8-10 and there isnt this problem
[Device Reviews and Information] Steve_Goral:
Has anyone else has huge issues with their signal dropping out at random. It's been happening all the time since I updated to 1123. My wife has a phone on the same network and maintains a steady signal so it definitely an issue with this handset and I never noticed it before the update.
[Device Reviews and Information] LinCeX7:
Why newer rooms are 32 bits ? Is there any difference in terms of perfomance ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Steve_Goral:
Just checked Need ROM and there's an anti malware patch on there now. Anyone used it?
[Device Reviews and Information] Nonomen:
New OTA 1226 has arrived.
[Device Reviews and Information] Steve_Goral:
Anything decent in it?
[Device Reviews and Information] Nonomen:
No notable changes so far.

Scanning Web WhatsApp still not working.
[Device Reviews and Information] Steiner91:
Not a proper solution, but I used the 8/10 firmware to login into WhatsApp Web, then made a backup of whatsapp with Titanium Pro, upgraded the firmware and restored WhatsApp. It's working now, but I have take care to never delete the active logins of my browser.^^
[Device Reviews and Information] piki88:
the is a new update: 2016-12-26

what change?

problem qr cose of WhatsApp web?

thx
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
Well 1226 finally fixed the issue of links opening the stock browser (or the default browser you chose) instead of giving popup with list of browsers to choose each time.

thx.

what about qr code whatt app web?thx
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
Sorry, no clue about that one, I don't use WA web, only the app.
[Device Reviews and Information] Steve_Goral:
Every time I try and install it reboots and loads up TWRP rather than installing the update. Anyone else had this issue?
[Device Reviews and Information] diogo.silva.nascimento:
OTA update doesn't are compatible with TWRP. Only stock recovery.
[Device Reviews and Information] Steve_Goral:
So to update, can I download it from NeedROM and flash it with TWRP? Last time I updated with Flash Tool it wiped my phone and I really don't want that again.
[Device Reviews and Information] piki88:
can you try for us?

it's very fast

thanks from many people
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
Clicking WhatsApp Web link just reloads the home page (tried with Opera on the phone).
[Device Reviews and Information] Steve_Goral:
How did you guys install the update without using the OTA updater?
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
Has anyone else noticed app called "My Apps" with title "My Recent Apps" when it opens? After you unlock the screen and try to access notification bar it gives full screen add and opens once you close the add. It has logo similar to Shazam's (which I don't have installed, so didn't come with it) with black circle and white S, and it's process was called com.viki.document or something like that.

I noticed it last night and it wasn't in the app drawer or Play Store list of installed apps, so I assume it came with the new firmware since I haven't installed any new apps recently. It is possible however that it came with some app's update. You can uninstall it through the Apps section in settings.
[Device Reviews and Information] Nonomen:
Yep same over here. Came again with the new update I guess. Just uninstalled it again.

Googled it: The description of MyApps

This app is intended for smartphone retailers to get the list of popular Android apps that can be suggested and installed on customer's smartphone.
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
I didn't notice it in previous firmware, only in this one.
[Device Reviews and Information] Steve_Goral:
It would be nice to see an update without all the crap on it. I'm glad I can't work out how to update if I'm honest now.
[Device Reviews and Information] xdanewt:
That one is on Play store. Al3xandar said it's not listed on Play store. Also, he said app has Shazam icon; that app didnt have Shazam icon.

May I get a copy of the apk pls? Thanks!
[Device Reviews and Information] mattagazzu:
I cannot find such apk. Is it possible? I'm on 1226

I've noticed a folder on the root of internal SD named "MiniAppStore". If I try to delete it, after a while it has created again.

Any Ideas?
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
When I noticed those popup ads I first found it in task manager (Settings -> Developer options -> Running services) that's where I saw it, it had 3 processes running. Since it wasn't listed under My Apps in Play Store I assumed it came with latest firmware. You can find it in Apps section in Settings, turn on to show system apps just in case.
[Device Reviews and Information] arsalanksa:
Like it

Doogee X5 max pro combine with great features.

thanks for review :good:
[Device Reviews and Information] mattagazzu:
Already checked. No system apks nor services.

I suspect that there is an other system app that randomly turn on "third party apps" option in order to install unwanted apps like your MyApps.

Have you check for the folder I mentioned above? If it is, could you try to delete it?
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
I deleted the folder. I'll see if it creates it again.
[Device Reviews and Information] mattagazzu:
Any news in this last upgrade about miracast or direct display? Someone use these features?

How to update ?

With spflash no?

X5 Max Pro
[Device Reviews and Information] mattagazzu:
My touchscreen works quite well. It may depends on firmware version.

Which is your present version?

If you are in an old firmware version you need SP flash tools in order to upgrade.

Some bug fixes and improvements. I suggest to upgrade
[Device Reviews and Information] xdanewt:
Search and install 2ox Applist on Play store.

In Setup, uncheck Autolog, output should be txt and check System apps. Go back to main screen and Create lag. Go to Device storage and there should be new folder with txt. Upload somewhere.
[Device Reviews and Information] Steve_Goral:
How can I update with TWRP installed? Will Flash Tool wipe my phone?

yes....its true....you need SPFlash Tool. I suggest you to update direcly to the last firmware 26 Dec 2016

Force your phone to landscape (unfortunately auto-rotate is not enough as the scan page turns to portrait again).

I used the Power Toggles app (available on Market, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc) to set "Landscape (forced)"

Go and scan the QR code from WhatsApp.

Hi guys.

I bought the chromecast today. Youtube and other supported apps works quite well, but i cannot cast screen to my TV. With a cheap teclast tablet and android 5.1 all works well. Ideas?
[Device Reviews and Information] Kenif1983:
Try using the cast screen/ audio function within the Google Home app
[Device Reviews and Information] mattagazzu:
I tried exacly with google home but once clicked after few second it says 'disconnected'. Only a few times i can hear audio but never viewed video.

[Device Reviews and Information] Steve_Goral:
I'm getting pretty pissed off with all the malware and poor updates. Can anybody recommend an upgrade? Preferably under £100.

I was looking at the Umi Diamond but according to this website there isn't a great deal between them.

[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
Xiaomi Redmi 3 or 4 (in any variant).

Not for me. At least not yet.
[Device Reviews and Information] mattagazzu:
Sorry guys, I have to ask you again: someone of you have ever tried to use chromecast 'cast screen' function?
[Device Reviews and Information] xdanewt:
Umi and Ulefone also bundle crap on their phones. Your best bet is Bluboo or Leagoo as they use freeme OS. Xiaomi is good too but priced over $100.

Comparable to X5 max pro is Ulefone U008 pro. It's on banggood.

Edit: How about BLU R1 HD 16 gb from Amazon? Trial Amazon Prime to get it at $60. It supports 4g.

Can you please create a log with 2ox applist from Play store? Uncheck auto log and check system apps in Setup then tap Create log.
[Device Reviews and Information] noorman:
can you tell me how can i use it because i dont know.
[Device Reviews and Information] Nonomen:
Read Rufy93 post and install a screen rotation app. I use Rotation Control. Put your device in landscape mode and open the WhatsApp app to scan the QR code on web.WhatsApp.com
[Device Reviews and Information] rufy93:
The app [MENTION=1429674]Nonomen[/MENTION] mentioned is probably easier to use.

Install the following app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.crape.rotationcontrol

Open and run the app so you get the notification.

In the Notification, Select one of the right most 3 icons (Landscape mode)

Open upp WhatsApp and scan QR code.
[Device Reviews and Information] noorman:
thanks bro it works, but do you know why this issue showed in my phone after the qr code in whatsapp was working fine.
[Device Reviews and Information] mattagazzu:
New firmware available

Anyone already tried it?
[Device Reviews and Information] Nonomen:
New OTA 20170116
[Device Reviews and Information] torax242:
Did you look into it? Is it still full of crap?
[Device Reviews and Information] Nonomen:
Don't know yet. Updated and noticed no changed yet. Nice to still getting updates from Doogee for this phone though.
[Device Reviews and Information] torax242:
According to Sophos, this OTA is still infested.
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
Here's that ****ty malware app again. I checked for it immediately after receiving latest OTA, but it wasn't there. And right now I got those full screen adds spam, and it was there again. So I guess it doesn't come installed with OTA, but it actually downloads itself later. Which means Doogee can install all kind of malware on our phones without us knowing.
[Device Reviews and Information] diogo.silva.nascimento:
Someone using an AICP or CM14.1? How is a battery life for you?
[Device Reviews and Information] Nonomen:
No Myapps yet, unknown sources stays unchecked BUT I get some tiny adds for example in Tapatalk. When closing it the advertised app installs itself.

It happens with the AliExpress app several times.
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
There is CM for this phone?
[Device Reviews and Information] diogo.silva.nascimento:
Yep, on 4PDA. Russian forum.
[Device Reviews and Information] rak400:
Cyanogen 13.02 for Doogee x5xmax pro

Needrom have this Cyanogen mod rom for download. I have successfully flashed and all is good atm.

No more sh***ty malware etc.

You need to have a 64 bit official rom installed, I used 0810. 64 bit twrp and super su.

In twrp wipe before flashing with Cyanogen.

If you use 32 bit twrp it will stick on boot screen !!!
[Device Reviews and Information] diogo.silva.nascimento:
Yep, but release on Needrom is buggy. If you use Lineage / Cyanogenmod 14.1 or AICP 12.1 (They use LineageOS 14.1 base x32) network(4G/3G/2G and Wi-fi) works fine and only have minor bugs; For me on daily use works great.
[Device Reviews and Information] rak400:
13.02 seems ok for me but which builds are you using please.
[Device Reviews and Information] Kenif1983:
There are absolutely loads of roms on http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=775685

has anybody tried them? ANy stable?
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
Anyone else having a problem with the back camera with latest firmware? Just noticed it's so dark and it's flickering. Changing various settings doesn't seem to help.
[Device Reviews and Information] Kenif1983:
The camera seems to be taking more stable images on the latest rom but I find that I randomly have to reboot because apps can't access the camera.
[Device Reviews and Information] diogo.silva.nascimento:
I've tested several ROMs, none of them stable. I used x86 and x64 based builds and none worked well. Problems start in the wakelock caused problems of standby and in the camera that does not work (or works in a very bad way) for example.

And i back to stock; i'm use 01/16/2017 build and battery is fantastic; More than 24h standby and 5h of screen on watching videos and whatsapp.
[Device Reviews and Information] Steve_Goral:
Can anyone tell me how to update to the latest firmware with TWRP.
[Device Reviews and Information] Kenif1983:
I'm concerned I can't make android device manager a system administrator..
[Device Reviews and Information] LinCeX7:
Wow . For the first time suddenly started to appears ads and installing apps alone in my phone . I did used sophos mobile security , ran a scan and removed most of it . Yet there are two warnings wich i cant remove or do anything ( ota update and Fotaprovider) . Since used this app there has not appear any ads now . Should i format the phone? Or using this antivirus is fine . Im not really in favour of installing antivirus since they eat so much ram and battery .
[Device Reviews and Information] Kenif1983:
I've had no ads and 'my apps' hasn't installed on recent update.

I have disabled:

Documents to go

Gmail

Parallel space

Xender (I use superbeam)

Opera mobile store (named webcore.APK)
[Device Reviews and Information] LinCeX7:
How did you deal with the malware ?.
[Device Reviews and Information] LinCeX7:
Can i claim my money back im paypal?
[Device Reviews and Information] diogo.silva.nascimento:
I installed root and deleted all malware.
[Device Reviews and Information] LinCeX7:
Could you please explain how and what you did remove?

Im pretty newbie , i havent root once xD .
[Device Reviews and Information] Kenif1983:
Before rooting consider doing the following:

Go To Settings app

Scroll to applications

Make sure All apps is shown

Press the three dots in the top right of the screen and choose show system

Scroll down until you find

com.android.snap

Press is and press disable

Do the same with

Documents To Go

Opera Mobile Store (may be called webcore.apk)

I'd also do similar with

Parallel Space

Xender (Superbeam is a great alternative)

Gmail (Inbox or WPS works fine)
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
There's a 0217 OTA out, has anyone tried it yet, and are there any significant changes? Can't install it today.
[Device Reviews and Information] Steve_Goral:
How do I reflash the stock recovery? I'm stuck on the 2311 firmware as the OTA doesn't seem to like TWRP.

Also, this malware is a nightmare, I'm forever uninstalling apps that seem to get downloaded without my permission. This is the last Doogee I ever buy.
[Device Reviews and Information] torax242:
Didn't recognize any new features. But according to Sophos it's still not clean. I have the feeling that new OTAs just include more crap (the last OTA added full screen ads, you had to close manually).
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
To get rid of those adds uninstall "My Apps" app. It will keep returning from time to time, so each time you notice those adds go and delete that crap.
[Device Reviews and Information] Steve_Goral:
I'm still getting ads and unwanted apps and there's no sign of MyApps
[Device Reviews and Information] Nonomen:
No update over here.

Edit: got it.
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
Things I noticed on first glance in 0217, they added Google Duo, Drive, Play Music, TalkBack and Photos as system apps, so just more unnecessary clutter.

Edit: Seems they additionally screwed up screen sensitivity.
[Device Reviews and Information] Nonomen:
Noticed also an update of the Google play store.

This can be a coincidence.
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
Got "My Apps" installed again today, and now an app called "APUS Message Center" also installed by itself. Doogee is a malware producer now it seems.
[Device Reviews and Information] Kenif1983:
I had my apps once and posted here.

I've not had it since (2/3 weeks ago).

I've not had any ads like others have mentioned at all.

The apps I disabled are

Snap, opera mobile store, docs to go, Gmail, xender and parallel space.

Look their permissions - parallel space has crazy amount of permissions (which you'd expect) but it also has"download without notification"

Additionally it's got horrific reviews on Google play - disable it!
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
I don't see Opera Mobile Store in my apps list (even with show system on).
[Device Reviews and Information] Kenif1983:
It's called webcore.apk but has opera logo.
[Device Reviews and Information] Nonomen:
Even settings is infected according to Sophie Andr/Generic-S
[Device Reviews and Information] mattagazzu:
Yes,

'Settings' is a malware. I deleted it. Just waiting to discover the next app name that Doogee will give to their auto-installed Malwares.

It is unbelievable....This is my first and last Doogee phone...
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
I don't have that one either.

It's fake name, that app has icon like settings in iPhone. They're really pushing out quite a lot of malware. Perhaps we should all start spamming under all posts on their Facebook page, writing about all this malware spam. Maybe that kind of negative publicity would force them to change something.
[Device Reviews and Information] Kenif1983:
I use Link2SD to view apps. You can filter system/ user apps really easy- then just press "manage" to disable them.
[Device Reviews and Information] xmanner77:

[Device Reviews and Information] torax242:
Install an older 64bit version and start from there. You get that from needrom.
[Device Reviews and Information] Steve_Goral:
I'll do that later then, it's worth putting up with an unstable build just to get rid of all the malware. I'm sick of uninstalling apps.
[Device Reviews and Information] nikostzar:
I went ahead and replied on the first few posts on their page and also pressed "like" on all replies mentioning malware. I tried to keep my replies polite, hoping I will not get banned as well.

I have also given the phone a bad review in my country's "find-the-cheapest-price" site (is there a name for this kind of sites?). After that more users started reporting on the malware there, so I guess it kind of worked...

Let's keep this up. It could be more effective than fighting with the system apps...
