Latest update kills processes

Anyone else get an update recently? I got an OTA update today (though it still shows the 10 2017 date in the name) and now my phone stops all apps when it goes to sleep., I have tried everything I can think of (turning off the battery saver stuff, making sure wifi always on is checked etc.).

Several seconds after my phone sleeps, my vpn and sip client go away. Obviously this makes it kind of useless. Also, just a couple of minutes later, the wifi goes away as well. As I mentioned, I have told the phone to keep that running.

Any ideas on how to either track this down or downgrade to the previous version?

Was a bad idea to update.

How you revert back? is it possible without loosing all data?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyegeek:
The instructions pointed to replace the all the partitions, so you will lose data. From reading earlier posts, I'm thinking that might be necessary due to encryption. Hopefully someone has a definitive answer to that.

Also, the ROMs available do not seem to include the one that actually came with my phone. While the one I reverted to fixed the really bad update, there are other issues (phone reboot, over sensitive buttons) that I did not have before I did the update.

Got Armor 2 two weeks ago got ota update and my pebble kept shutting off when the phone sleeps. OTA update no good. Reverted back to previous ROM 10/09.

No more sleeping for my pebble. Wifi hotspot not working at the get go. I'm on T-Mobile unlimited data and need the wifi hotspot working. So after a week of trying everything from resetting and nothing worked except changing the APN setting under APN type by adding ",dun" then saved the change by using the three dot menu in the upper right corner. Now I have wifi hotspot. Armor is impressive! The sos and ptt buttons are annoying. Just disable the zello and sos apps now the buttons are nonfunctional.

Background Jobs are getting killed

Hi,

I have my ulefone armor 2 for about 3 weeks now and did the last OTA Update. I read about the problems with this Update and I am also experiencing this problem. (Traccar Client not working in backgound, no notifications about new messages in whatsapp and telegram and dual sim selector also not working). I wrote about my problem to the ulefone support via mail, but did not get an answer. Can I simply wait for a new OTA Update without this error or is the only way to flash my 3 weeks old phone ......

Thx,

Its not about duraspeed, never was. Updated ROM is broken simple as that. Also, same problem is already reported 3 times (1st by me, and on the same day of update release) and the solution(just revert back to previous version) is already in this thread. It's probably in the last couple pages, and I'm half certain I bookmarked it in the first post too since everyone keeps coming with the same thing. If not I should probably get on it.

But to answer an actually good question in this reply; NO, in our(or maybe I should just say my) experience is that you cannot trust Ulefone support to fix anything. Hell, I'm actually surprised they fixed the android pay back in October. Instead of updates I think they just release new models and move on.

My opinion is when you buy a phone as cheap as this you basically give up the privileges of updates, returns, warranty, bugfixes, performance, and customer support.

1. I cannot disable the animation when the phone starts, the one that instructs you how to insert the sim cards, and safely close the USB-C connector.

2. The screen doesn't sleep. whatever I choose through settings. I have tried 15 seconds, 30 second. Nothing works. Always on, unless I put it on standby myself using the power button.

I have the latest rom.

Hi,

I just got my Ulefone Armor 2 for about 2 weeks now and I think there's some issues with the 6gb ram. Every now and then after heavy usage, I check the memory and it only showed average memory use of about 1.8 to 2.0gb. The phone didn't fully utilise the 6gb ram. I use it for facebook, youtube, clash royale, clash of clans, bigo live, did some screen recording. and so I was expecting the ram to be used for the most part but it didn't. I did a factory data reset but nothing changed. When I was playing clash royale, the game lagged once in a while. I checked my wifi and 4g connection and even compared it with my friend who is using a samsung s7 but his game didn't lag. I tried normal mode and sports mode, disabled and enabled Duraspeed and also switched off any optimisation. Had anyone experience the same thing as me? Does anyone know how to rectify this?

OTA no update?!

hello,

I got the phone for a while and didnt change anything so far .

Rom version: S21-GQ3037LF2_Ulefone_V12_20171009_20171020-810.

I wanted to do a wireless update because the phone is rebooting by itself every few days and a lot of lag in the rom

(for the amount of memory i think the phone is very slow , i have an other phone with the same hardware but its much faster).

But when i try wireless update is says that i already have the latest update?

Does anyone had the same problem?:( Really need a new rom... or update

(ulefone also didnt answer my mail about new roms)

multitouch problems

Hello all!

First sorry if it's already been answeered, I checked past pages a week or so ago and couldn't find anything similar..

I bought my phone mid march, and have this problems from the begining, just didn't notice it before.

Whenever I have full screen apps/games (mostly games) and I lock my phone (by pressing power button, or autolock, I didn't find any difference) after unlock it detects multiple touches. Restart helps, but it's really annoying. Did anyone else experience this problem?? I am not sure if it is HW or SW glitch, I asked the ulefone service if anyone had complained about similar problems, but they said the phone must have dropped and cracked screen. Which didn't happen, I haven't even gotten to the waterproof testing yet. The problem started the first night when wrinting sms, I thought it was just me making typos.. then I started paying attention and figured not adjecent letters were being pressed. I then went to enable touch spots and there were two, whenever I pressed along some vertical line, another dot popped up.

Anyhow, if someone experienced similar problems and managed to solve it somehow, it'd help a lot. I was offered to return the phone for the warranty repair, but wanted to check with you guys first. I don't want my phone gone for 3 months or so to later found out a custom rom could solve the problems.

Oh yeah, the problems were with stock rom and remained present after OTA upgrade.

I don't think this baby could have a 1000 mA battery capacity only. Is just a software thing. Maybe also not a 4700 mA as claimed... But until actually tear apart the device one cannot know for sure. You must actually test how much can be drained from the battery itself
