I'm using GPS all the time in Pokemon Go, I didn't see many problems, except from time to time loses signal. In rest, works OK. I compared to a colleague's Iphone 5s, signal is almost the same, we go hunt pokemons together and is the same experience. Except that my phone has 2x bigger screen :).

Hi everyone! I'm writing from Italy and I got my Mix 2 2 days ago. This display is insane, everything is working good. I think we all need an OTA update in order to resolve some issues (lag recording a video, entering the splitscreen mode holding the volume keys, volume of the speaker, maybe the speed of the fingerprint scanner). I'm really enjoying this phone, hope you all are too :)
[General Questions and Answers] sacaitu:
For 140€ is very good. I'm enjoining it too, the problems that bothera me are just camera and weak wi-fi signal. Battery pretty good, fingerprint works like a charm, display is awesome, it is fast.. I'm glad i bought it.

Guys, did you try third party camera apps?

Stock on Chinese phones is always unusable.

I always have installed opencamera, a better camera unlocked and footej. With hdr mode enabled, I captured some nice photos, even on phones with very bad sensors, and vernee mix has good sensor.

Now I have found the right driver (http://adbdriver.com/downloads/). The Debloater shows me but only two APKs (Youtube and FM radio) which are already blocked. For changes with the Debloater the message comes: The user does not have sufficient rights.

Since there is no active critical APK installed, is gangyun safe?

What bothers me even more: I do not get my own notification tones to choose from ...
[General Questions and Answers] k500zm:
[MENTION=8713870]Wollik[/MENTION] - afaik from what I have seen in reviews of the phone on youtube the gangyun folder must be part of the camara app itself NOT the problem app which pisses people off on Play. So I think it is quite safe and they have merely used the good code of the beauty effect app to integrate into the phones camera app - so chill geez ;)

No Virus No Malware

My phone will arrive in 1.5 hours - cant wait :)

Well after eagerly awaiting this phone for the last month it arrived and within half an hour I knew it was not for me!

So I immediately put a listing for it on ebay and by the time I looked to see how my listing was presented it had been sold - in under 5 minutes [for a tidy profit I might add] :)

Too big and too heavy for me - but I am sure its new owner will absolutely love it ;)

I customise my phones to within an inch of their lives and I cannot wait to see if this is a possibility with this phone.

Bluetooth and wifi issues...

Hello guys,

I've had my mix 2 for about a week now and I can say I'm kinda happy with it. It's mostly so worth the price! The screen is gorgeous, battery life good enough for me (a full day with heavy YouTube and screentime use), and a decent camera that I won't use that much anyway.

BUT! There is a huuuuge drawback... The wifi and the Bluetooth.

Wifi is pretty bad... My wifi router is like 2 meters away from my bed with one thing wall in between, and I get half the signal with half the speed also... If I'm right beside the router I have full speed. I can live with that since I mostly use my phone in 4g areas.

But the Bluetooth.... Man this bothers me... I listen music on my phone 3 hours a day on my Bluetooth Sony headphones.

The issue is: when I'm in an open space with a lot of people, like a high ceiling train station for example, or juste walking on a busy street, the Bluetooth range is crap. And I mean crap! Like if the phone is in my pocket, the connection keeps stuttering like hell, it's unhearable. I have to take my phone in my hand and hold it at chest level to have the connection smooth again.

This drives me mad... I'm so happy with the phone overall but this wifi and mostly this Bluetooth things are starting to make me regret buying this phone...

I really hope this is a software problem that can be fixed in the future.

Cheers.

TWRP with scatter file for SPFlash Tool would be a better choice. No need to unlock bootloader.

[General Questions and Answers] bombic:
In Appolo forum:

Unfortunately the touch screen does NOT work.

Then, you will have to choose two different methods :

1) Flash the twrp 3.0.3 and use an OTG mouse.

2) Boot the twrp by Fastboot mode (please read carefully the steps at the first post).

Download link :

http://www.mediafire.com/file/274vwd...twrp_3.0.3.rar

There is scatter file for sp flash tool, but there is problem with it. I have usb OTG adapter, but there is no software to download if something go wrong, and nobody tested it for Mix 2. I simply don't have enough courage and knowledge to be the first to root Mix 2.

[General Questions and Answers] Wollik:
No, camera software is set to standard. I find the blur in the non-focused area as a profit. I have not had anything like that with a smartphone camera. I know that only from dslr camera. Under option blur, the photo looks like I'm looking through a clear glass on the glass bottom. A completely unnatural circular focus. Now I understand the criticism: When you does not like photo clipping, you don't like this camera.
[General Questions and Answers] Klaus69:
So , on every photo the unfocused area looks that blurry???
[General Questions and Answers] zogu:
It is not blurry, this is macro photo, aperture size is 2.0 and it must look like that. Actually this is good ;)

Bigger aperture (for bigger aperture f is lower, f1.5 aperture is bigger then f2.0), more blurry background, smaller aperture, clearer background.

[General Questions and Answers] jamie110:
Sorry, but you are wrong.

Helio P25 smartphones score in antutu around 60,000 which is just above the entry smartphones. Smartphones using flagship APU of last year, Snapdragon 820, score around 130,000 in antutu, and even these high-scored phones have some problems or lag in some games, then why shouldn't Vernee MIX 2?

You just need to have a better APU phone to have fun in gaming.
[General Questions and Answers] fxnoob:
Antutu is a synthetic benchmark that doesn't have anything with real life experience. This phone, as specs and graphics would be equivalent to apple iphone5, 5c. Cpu is far superior. But in games is very bad, compared to these. This is related to software and kernel optimisation. You can't judge all phones by antutu scores. Look in Alexandr's table. :)

[General Questions and Answers] jamie110:
OMG man, Are you real?

First, yes, it does. Antutu can let you compare one phone to another especially on the APU basis. Its score even reflects software optimisation. Denying all these facts and saying about synthetic-ness and real life experience is just that you don't know anything about it at all and that you just keep talking about it for just to argue.

Secondly, you can't compare iOS devices and an Android devices that way. These OS have so many different way in working. I can't explain to you one by one about this. Just search the differences and what it causes in their performances. You comparing the phone and iOS devices just proves that you don't even have basic knowledge of devices and OS.

[MENTION=5775447]fxnoob[/MENTION] is actually right and you are so damn wrong. First of all software optimization has A LOT to do with performance in the UI, games etc. Second I’m using LG G4 with Snap 808 and I get around 65-70k on Antutu, but I have no lag at all and I can play toughest games without problems and frame drops. And third, I do not owe Vernee MIX 2, but I see you are not satisfied from the gaming experience and you claim its due to the processor, well I owe Meizu PRO 7 with Helio P25 and everything runs smoothly, including games.

Good afternoon fellow vernee mix-ers, phone received on Monday 27th nice screen easy to hold, playing music tru BT headphones yesterday sound kept dropping, thought to my self that the headphones are a tad old so it may be that, that was till I went tru this thread and noticed a few others also have a BT issue, WiFi is also not great. However in the camera dept we all read it was a Sony 13mp imx module in the rear, upon reading an earlier post that there's an AR1335 sensor I did a bit of digging and got another app which stated the rear camera module is AR 1335 so unless Sony have changed their name its a bit of a let down, app also says there's a 5mp camera module also present. I did download "open camera" from the play store and it appears to work a treat. I'm in two minds whether or not to return the phone to gearbest or not it will cost me a small fortune to return if I do as I cannot see gearbest covering the return cost. If I hold on to it can I expect vernee to issue updates/bug fixes and if so how long will it take to arrive. Vernee have stated on their website and all the re-sellers that I can see that the Mix 2 had a Sony sensor on board, is this false advertising? If so then they should take any returns with no issues as product is not as advertised am I correct in saying this does anyone know?
