Thank you jan177 for trying to help.

Yes, I checked and in theory it should work.

I tried to select the network manually and that does not make any difference.

And I am not even at data yet - the phone does not work for any kind of phone calls either. There is zero connection

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

I tried only one slot so far (Micro sim) as the other one seems to be nano Sim - which is a format I do not have

NO GOOGLE NOW TAP ON THIS PHONE ...CAN ANYONE FIND A WORK AROIND
[Device Reviews and Information] QuadPiece:
Have you tried adding the APN settings manually for Internet and MMS? Your carrier probably has a guide for this somewhere among their support pages.

APN errors are pretty typical when importing phones.
[Device Reviews and Information] Gadgetguy2005:
Thank you for the suggestion - APN is for data setup, isn't it? I get no connection (no phone calls in our out) so I think my problem is different. (I did try different APN settings - both for Bell and for Virgin Canada - but no difference)

Maybe the radio part in this phone is just super crappy?

For example for a brief instance after a restart the "voice mail" indicator popped up. (I do have pending voice mail - so this is correct) : so that suggests that for a brief moment the phone was able to connect to the phone network.

But nothing since - it is completely dead "no connection"

When looking for Available Networks - I do see Virgin 3G - but when I want to connect to it, I get a message - cannot connect...
[Device Reviews and Information] QuadPiece:
It might simply have a bad radio yeah. Is coverage usually good where you are? If possible you should bring it into some city and see what coverage is like there.

Though it does sound strange if the radio is so horrible that you can't get any connection at all.
[Device Reviews and Information] Gadgetguy2005:
Yes, coverage is ok (not very good - but several other cellphones all get good signal )
[Device Reviews and Information] QuadPiece:
Then the only real tip I can give if APN issues weren't the cause is to bring it the next time you visit somewhere with extremely good coverage (The middle of a city center or something). That will immediately answer your question if it's a configuration issue or if the radio is simply that bad.
[Device Reviews and Information] Gadgetguy2005:
Thank you - I will try that

I did a factory reset - and now it works. Maybe some apps I transferred over from my old phone via Titanium messed up some connectivity settings? Anyway: it works - but the radio is a bit less sensitive than my Galaxy S4. Overall, good phone. LEts see how it does over the next week
[Device Reviews and Information] exProphecy:
I did a battery life test and found some pretty surprising results. From about 95% charge, I started running a Netflix show the whole day I was at work (on minimum brightness). At the end of the day, I was at 20%. Here is the screenshot :p

SEVEN hours screen on time is pretty ridiculous IMO
[Device Reviews and Information] QuadPiece:
This is flat-out amazing for a $80 phone.

If I'm reading the information here correctly, this was also with Bluetooth turned on?
[Device Reviews and Information] seunot:
Wonderful, were you using wifi or mobile data during the test?
[Device Reviews and Information] exProphecy:
Yes I have bluetooth on 24/7 actually.

I was on wifi for probabaly 90% of the time.

There are lots of different size specs on the net for this phone. Could a Doogee X5 MAX PRO owner please clarify if the height is 141 or 154 mm?
[Device Reviews and Information] seunot:
Height - 141mm

Width - 72mm
[Device Reviews and Information] Krasche:
Thanx!! :)
[Device Reviews and Information] boogie16345:
Anyone k ow when it's updates will roll out?
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
And what is not working? Is the update necessary?
[Device Reviews and Information] boogie16345:
Need from has a couple of official and since OTA updates are available I WANT THEM
[Device Reviews and Information] Krasche:
I'm just curious, since the size very important to me, why so many websites report 154 mm? Could it be that the X5 PRO is 141 mm and the X5 MAX PRO is 154 mm?
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
you seem to be mistaken

X5MAX PRO does not have 154mm you were informed above it has +- 141mm
[Device Reviews and Information] QuadPiece:
My phone just arrived. It seems quite decent in most areas. However my touch screen is sort of horrible. The touch screen only handles two fingers. If the two fingers get too close it also starts bugging out.

Can someone confirm that this also is the case on their phone? Maybe it's just bad QC (if they even have QC) on my phone. It makes typing pretty horrible since half the keypresses don't register when I write quickly.
[Device Reviews and Information] rufy93:
I have the same experience. The digitizer seems not as sensitive as I've grown accustomed to.

I had a screen protector pre installed, which I think may be the culprit.
[Device Reviews and Information] QuadPiece:
I also had a screen protector pre-installed. I don't dare to remove it though, since the phone obviously doesn't have proper gorilla glass. The screen probably scratches very easily
[Device Reviews and Information] rufy93:
I have ordered a spare, which should be arriving sometime in September.

I'll have to try removing my then.
[Device Reviews and Information] QuadPiece:
Where did you order the spare? I could use one too. Also if you remember, please ping me with the results after you remove the screen protector.
[Device Reviews and Information] rufy93:
I ordered from BangGood.com

Will post the results here.

Please Help!!!

I own a Doogee X5 max pro, everywhere the datasheet says that the phone supports "now on tap" function but I have not been able to use this function, pressing and holding the Home button, the phone shows the multitasking, and I did not find other solutions.

Some of you managed to activate the function? Can you tell me how you did?

Finally updated my firmware, maximum processor speed is now 1.25ghz. I notice about 10 to 20% drop in battery performance.
[Device Reviews and Information] QuadPiece:
Could you post some comparison screenshots from benchmarks? I'm curious to see how much of a difference it really makes
[Device Reviews and Information] seunot:
Not much difference, there is an additional 2000 points to the original stock score though, I also notice a sharp drop in speaker volume during music playback.

Another official update is out, released on 28th of this month, it is available in needroms, maybe that will fix the volume issue.
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
Hi guys, has anyone tried official firmware update from Doogee website?

doogee.cc/download.php?ProId=70

If so, can it be updated by copying the zip file to the phone and adding it through option "Local updates" under "Wireless Update"? I'm asking since there is MultiDownloadTool inside the zip file with firmware, which I assume is for flashing via PC. I never did this before, and unfortunately it seems Doogee have no intentions on using OTA, so I have to do it manually. Also their "Update log" link on that page doesn't show the log.
[Device Reviews and Information] boogie16345:
Hey dude I will try now
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
Thanks man, please let me know how did it go.

Hey not working it shows the whole process but when you go see details about phone nothing changed.I believe it's PC version which is quite simple.
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:

[Device Reviews and Information] myjess:
Needrom site has lots of info on rom upgrades. According to malware bytes scan, there is malware in the firmware in the form of beautysnap, and is quite difficult to remove.
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
I didn't have the BeautySnap in the app drawer, but it was in Play Store in list of all installed applications, and it said it wasn't supported in my country. I was getting those annoying messages that com.beautysnap has stopped, so what I did was remove all permissions from BeautySnap and disabled the app and didn't have any more problems with it. What I read about the app was that it's adware, apparently with full screen ads.

As for needrom website, I prefer to use official website but I still didn't install this last version, I'll wait a bit more to see if there will be OTA update.
[Device Reviews and Information] rufy93:

Just me or smartphone touchscreen has a high delay and a low sensitivity ?
[Device Reviews and Information] vermundr:
Why? Does the update break anything? :eek:
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
There is MultiDownloadTool included in the zip archive, which you should install on PC I assume. I can see the archive on my SD card when I go to "Local updates" option in "Wireless Update" and I can click on "Install now", but I didn't go through it and other guy previously said it didn't work for him.
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
Does this particular ROM make anything better?
[Device Reviews and Information] rufy93:
Not just you, we are a few who feel the same way.

My hypothesis is that the pre-installed screen protector is of low quality.

I finally got my replacement protector, will try without the protector during the weekend to see if that is the culprit or the digitizer is just "crap" (considering this is a cheap phone)
[Device Reviews and Information] diogo.silva.nascimento:
I removed the original and has not improved much. I'm using without any protection. I think it's some other problem.
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
I thought the horrible screen sensitivity is due to crappy digitizer, but these 2 people claim they have better screen sensitivity after the firmware update:

This guy says the screen is now 55 Hz (I'm not sure what's the value in stock firmware, non of the apps I tried can show it) and he and few more people said the CPU is finally clocked on 1.3 GHz:

http://www.needrom.com/download/doogee-x5-max-pro/comment-page-3/#comment-287248

Apparently fingerprint unlocking is slower now (although they say it's update 29.08. and on Doogee website it says the latest version is 02.09. next to the download link, or 10.08. above next to the phone picture):

[Device Reviews and Information] DD-Indeed:
Hi! I bought this phone couple weeks ago and been using it for couple days now. Works pretty well, but, having the same issues, as you guys, screen is slow. But, I'm not gonna do the updates, until there is confirmation and feedback of them, that does they help.

Did you notice, that some of those Android command codes on dial selector does not work ? Was trying to look down some firmware, etc, etc, info with those commands, but they didn't work. Perhaps those are locked ?
[Device Reviews and Information] alexmdx:
:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

This Smartphone is very bad. It should be a processor 1.3GHz, but it's only 1.09ghz, It supports only two taps on the screen, causing poor response to touch. I auditioned in AnTuTu, but does not match with the result that it showed. The signal is not long range. n.o.v.a. 3 is slow and modern combat 5 too. some lighter online games are too slow and the wifi is restarted using the Bluetooth at the same time (rare). :(
[Device Reviews and Information] myjess:
Later firmwares have boosted speed to 1248Mhz, effectively 1.3GHZ.

Other issues that you mention I don't know anything about.

[Device Reviews and Information] DD-Indeed:
I installed update package today and it was success. Apparrently, firmwares were updated as well, CPU speed was improved from 1.1 to 1.3, screen Hz's were lowered from 61 to 55 (fixed the fuzzy screen issues). Only thing it did was to wipe out my stuff even thou, I didn't choose to erase data, while updating. Anyway, now the phone is working like a charm.
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
Is the unlocking via fingerprint sensor slower with new firmware? Did you use the firmware from Doogee's website? And if so were you able to update it via "Local updates" through "Wireless Update" option, or you had to do it via PC?
[Device Reviews and Information] DD-Indeed:
Dunno about the fingerprint sensor, since I don't use it. Yes, from Doogee's website, but I didn't try that Local Update-option, instead, I went straight to using SP Flash Tool with PC.

Could you play 720/60fps videos on Youtube? Mine does, but soo laggy...

[Device Reviews and Information] Krimug'Nu:
Do you have the last update (September)?
[Device Reviews and Information] DD-Indeed:
No, the stock firmware is somewhere from May/June 2016 I think. But Youtube vids should work just fine, no matter what firmware is in. Are you watching those through internet browser or with Youtube-app ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Krimug'Nu:
Im on the Youtube-App. The 60fps videos play, but you can easily notice that the framerate its so low, even stuttering.
[Device Reviews and Information] DD-Indeed:
Hmm, mine work just fine. Have you updated the latest updates from Doogee's website, that package with everything ? Or have you installed some other ROM to it ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Krimug'Nu:
I have just rooted and installed TWRP in the phone, never updated the S.O neither install other roms. If I download the videos, VLC plays them with the correct framerate, but Youtube stutters :(
[Device Reviews and Information] DD-Indeed:
Aaaah, TWRP doesn't contain new firmwares for the hardware, but the update packages from Doogee's website does. So you should have done those first, before switching to TWRP.

People mentioned some of the things about the new firmware, like better screen response, CPU speed is lifted up and I found out, that the charging unit is re-optimized, so phone charge more quickly. Overall, new firmwares optimize the hardware. If you have skills, check out the package from Doogee's, maybe you can take the hardware firmwares out of it and install separately.
[Device Reviews and Information] Krimug'Nu:
So... Should I install the last firmware via FlashTools and then re-root and re-install TWRP? Is that viable?

Thank you so much for the answers.
[Device Reviews and Information] DD-Indeed:
Yeah, download that package and install the firmwares only.

[Device Reviews and Information] Krimug'Nu:
Just for curiosity... This update seems to be published at 08/10, but in Needrom there's another one called 08/29... Could this be true?
[Device Reviews and Information] DD-Indeed:
Dunno about that, maybe the one in NeedROM is

published on the site

at 08/29, but the package itself is from 08/10 date.

Edit: Look at the package date on Doogee's website: 2016-09-02. That is fresh, the one on the NeedROM is older.
[Device Reviews and Information] diogo.silva.nascimento:
Funny, because Needrom has a rom with the newest package. It says that the ROM folder after extraction:

Last Doogee's website:

MP_mt6737_n370b_a48-4g_daoge_cc_128gbitp16d3_m_lte_3m-fdd-cs_mul_20160810-113920_songlixin_PC

Last Needrom website:

MP_mt6737_n370b_a48-4g_daoge_cc_128gbitp16d3_m_lte_3m-fdd-cs_mul_20160829-203806_songlixin_PC

I updated my Needrom by and he did in the smartphone configurations it says the version is 20160829 .

So the version of Needrom is newer than the latest version of the site Doogee . I do not understand how the Needrom has a newer version of the official website.
[Device Reviews and Information] DD-Indeed:
Perhaps Doogee updates their sites rarely. Afterall, their websites are pretty bad and confusing, and even thou there is changelog link, there's nothing in it.

But hey, thanks for the info thou! Do you know what differences is there in that newest one, when comparing to that second latest ?
[Device Reviews and Information] seunot:
New firmware from needrom improves screen touch response. However, battery consumption is still on the high side with cell standby being the main culprit, may likely be due to poor antenna
[Device Reviews and Information] DD-Indeed:
You talk about that ...20160829-203806 update ?

Yea, the battery consumption is pretty high, but putting resource adjusting option on will optimize the performance and battery usage (not the same thing as that battery saving-option), that slightly helps with it.
[Device Reviews and Information] diogo.silva.nascimento:
Yes, the same thing for me. But the touch screen still bad. Less worse than before but still bad.
[Device Reviews and Information] DD-Indeed:
Allright, I'll do the update at some point, once I make out backups from my setting to not to lose them this time...

Btw, I'm now doing some malware/virus scanning on the phone. And guess what, there is some chinese apps hidden on the phone, one of them was malware, this sort of ''beauty selfie''-app, that cannot be removed. Any suggestios, what to do with it ?
[Device Reviews and Information] diogo.silva.nascimento:
I'm root and remove that.
[Device Reviews and Information] Krimug'Nu:

Yep, same issue on Whatsapp Web for me.
[Device Reviews and Information] DD-Indeed:
Now the latest update package is available on Doogee's site as well, the 20160829.

Edit: Oh no, now I've run into big issues. I ran into the Error Code 19, when trying to connect the device to my PC. And been desperately trying to fix the issue with no luck, the PC won't anymore recognize the device via MTP transfer. :s
[Device Reviews and Information] Al3xandar:
I had the same problem a while ago and fixed it by going to Device Manager (with phone connected), then right click on your phone there and choose Update Drivers, choose the option to browse your computer for drivers, and then instead of browsing click to choose from the list of drivers on your computer. There you should see couple of results, I can't remember but I think only 1 was named MTP.
[Device Reviews and Information] DD-Indeed:
Thank you so much! :) I tried to install the driver packages, edit/remove some registry values, etc, etc and none of them worked.

Time to do the firmware updates now then.
[Device Reviews and Information] Krimug'Nu:
