I think that's a feature, my old Galaxy S5 Active does the same thing when the auto brightness is on and it used to be mentioned on some reviews of that phone way back in 2014. It helps you see the screen better under direct sun light. To be honest it is somewhat useful when the sun is too bright.
[Android General] GabrielMisfire:
It's useful when I try to read anything - but if the trade-off is a degradation of color fidelity, and washed out everything (menus included), it just looks awful

Yes buy but not at 350$ and not more than 250€. I got mine for 250€ including taxes since end of Nov. No problem insofar. Opened the USB port to let speaker pump air as disto sound at first. Rooted as per this first thread, tried Magisk unsuccessfully, reverted to Supersu. TWRP root explorer etc... all working correctly. Had prob with Titanium backup to save on ExtSDcard. Solved by giving rights to Titanium through Settings-->Software

Now since a month is working flawlessly. Not tried NFC yet. Have not flashed new Fota firmware. Only a security update

After last OTA upgrade 5 days ago, Doogee S60 is performing very bad. Rebooting a lot, applications are "shut down" all time (no notifications, no whatsapp PC)... Doogee forum is not working with Facebook sign in... Very bad after that [emoji20], by now is an useless phone!, and not rooted.

Can a anybody access oficial Doogee forum?

I can't setup a new account (never receive email), and login with Facebook or Google only opens a blank page (with a hidden script that seems a Bitcoin mining script).

Thanks... I am very disappointed from last OTA upgrade (does anybody having issues?)

[Android General] Ruben Perez:
Thanks a lot for your response. By now, I have solved some of the issues, simply uninstalling TeamViewer host for Android. It seems to interact in some way with notifications, or killing apps... I don't know, but notifications to MiBand is working again.

Testing for the reboots.

Ruben

You are welcome bro i hope you fix them all
[Android General] -Tiz-:
I have certain issues re encryption/TWRP/Magisk. In this connection, I would be grateful if someone could check the block size of the data partition. You can easily do this with the app xda app Flashfire. My blocksize is 512. The block size of all other partitions is 4096. I am wondering whether the small block size of the data partion is (i) standard for all S60 phones and (ii) the cause of my problems with TWRP and Magisk. Thank you.
[Android General] ArrowXIII:
So what are your opinions about the phone? Do you recommend buying it? or should I skip it? I am a sucker for rugged, manly phones and this one looks really cool, plus the specs are great on paper. I want to know if it is worth it because it'll be the first time I'll buy a chinese phone from a not well recognized brand. Any info would be appreciated!
[Android General] cihanaki:
Yes bro i recommend it you can buy and enjoy it. It is still getting updates and i am sure u wont be regret?
[Android General] marcelodub:
It looks like the browser blocks the page because it is not secure.

you must have some magic to get access to the doogee forum.

Some configuration to be changed in the browser. By chrome and explorer it will not.
[Android General] Ruben Perez:
It doesn't work with any browser (Edge, Chrome, Firefox), and same with Windows or Android. Source code of the blank page show a suspicious script (coin mining seems).

S60 is still not performing good after uninstalling Team Viewer, so seems OTA upgrade issue mainly.

Thanks.

I am trying to root, but I am unable to install TWRP with encryption enabled.

I can set a PIN or a pattern, and they work fine for booting normally, but TWRP just won't accept them, so it can't access the data partition.

Any pointers?

Doogee_S60_6+64_Android 7.0_20171122 FOTA supported (20170928_Doogee_S60)

There is a newer update available (20171225) but it appears to cause problems.
[Android General] -Tiz-:
I have exactly the same problem. I believe the TWRP port for the S60 is buggy and, therefore, does not support encryption.
[Android General] cihanaki:
This OTA has been cancelled by Doogee do not install it !
[Android General] Nephiel:
I gave up on TWRP. Now trying to root systemless with Magisk.

Yes, the 20171225 has been cancelled because it had problems. But the previous one, the 20171122, installed on my S60 via OTA just a few hours ago, so it's still live.

Hi, how have you managed to use SP Flash tool to flash? I tried to install various VCOM drivers but till now I couldn't make it to work. I have Windows 8.1 64bit. The device is not being recognized. I googled a lot and tried a couple of versions of MTK VCOM drivers but it still doesn't recognize the device.

[IMG="VCOM drivers"]http://lunito.eu/drivers.jpg[/IMG]

I have installed TWRP in fastboot mode and everything is working fine, and touch screen is working also after reboot, and I have managed to make that TWRP remains after reboot but I would like to have SP FLASH tool choice also if I want to flash the entire firmware. Anyone can help me with VCOM drivers? :)

Thank you

TWRP comes up Russian

I've followed the recipe for rooting and got to flashing and booting TWRP, at which point I ran into trouble. Firstly, step 11 was tricky, my phone booted into normal mode on the first few attempts. I eventually managed to boot into TWRP by pressing the "volume up" button at the right time (I think that's what did the trick), but now I'm stuck at a TWRP screen in Russian (Cyrillic letters, to be precise), and a padlock symbol on top of that. Any ideas?
[Android General] kenko0016:
After lots of attempts. I managed to find the only way and it's due to the non removable battery. Since we can't well remove it. The charge animation takes over once plugged into ports.

U must hit download button to initiate process and you have a generous timeout opportunity to get this done but has to be done in specific order.

Without USB port plugged into computer yet, make sure the phone end is plugged in. Hold volume up then plug in USB to computer until vcom recognizes. Takes about 5 secs. I believe boot screen will begin but not fully boot.

A red strip will animate. Then you can let go and wait for ok pop-up on sp tool. Voila.

This phone gave me headaches trying to flash let alone trying to stock recovery. There's another member that posted another twrp link with touch working

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

Once u swipe right first screen. Just above the most bottom-right tab is settings. Hit the globe icon on top strip from there scroll top find English. Voila. Using other twrps helped me memorize. Another hurtle . Good luck

Same here. Sometimes even the first 50% doesn't rapid charge as it's supposed to. Wonder if new update affected this. I know it's almost 6000ma but sheesh. And damn this u.s. adaptor like inspector gadget. Thing never wants to stay in outlet.
[Android General] jttk:
Solved (for now): TWRP comes up Russian

Thanks all for helpful comments. I managed to reboot by trying out various combinations of pressing and holding multiple buttons. I think that in the end, pressing and holding power and volume-up did the trick -- but I can't be entirely sure as I tried many things, also involving connecting and disconnecting the USB cable.

The OTG cable also played a role in my problems as the first one I used had a micro-USB connector that was a bit bulky, so my mouse wasn't recognised -- that's why TWRP locked the screen in the first place. Another issue was that I was looking at the TWRP screen for the very first time, and because I don't know any Russian I didn't figure out the swipe thing.

But it's all sorted now and I have a rooted phone -- and even found and removed the adups software on it.

Has anyone had success with enabling WiFi calling?? I don't see anything in settings or in phone app settings...

On another note:

I soft bricked by using wrong drivers to flash.

Unbricked by first flashing just preloader only.

I was able to flash TWRP with sp flash tool 5.1744 and latest all in one driver installer for mk67xx.

I was also able to properly rewrite my original IMEI after accidentally flashing NVRAM with no backup. If anyone is interested I can walk them through it.

I'm in the northern midwest US and could not get Verizon to work with my S60. Switched to T-Mobile and everything works great. They also have 100x the data for same price. I live close to a tower and I still don't get signal in my house (I live in a metal barn so basically a faraday cage) which can be solved for me with WiFi calling but I cannot seem to find the setting.

How long does it takes you?

---------- Post added at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 AM ----------

So far I am happy about it.

Little ''bugs'' but they pretty much all have solutions..

On the other side it also has nice features example when i go of the car and the radio disconnects from the wifi tethering from the phone, the phone turns the hotspot off by itself

So far since 4-5 days i love it

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------

ok so i think i fixed the problem. now when I am unpluging from wifi or after thethering it wasn't connecting to date on his own.

I think that's because he was actually shutting down the data

i developers option i clicked: always keep data active...

so now when i disconnect from wifi for example. it switches back to data.

Is that the best solution for that or is there another solution I should do instead?
[Android General] Ruben Perez:
There are a new OTA firmware for S60, but at least for me, doesn't perform better than last one cancelled. So I don't recommend installation if you also haven't installed the past one.

I don't have problems with Wi-Fi, but notifications.

Hi Guys,

My kid dropped the phone and after that there is no network available.

¿Is anyone else having Chrome open the 'Find in page' controls when swiping down on the fingerprint reader? I have disable everything fingerprint-related as far as I know, and it's still happening.

There is. I haven't actually tested it, though.
[Android General] psyck:
Yes. I have the same problem. Annoying!!

FIXED!

I used app "button mapper"

I am rooted.

With button mapper used "add" option and swiped the fingerprint window. Custom button showed up as "F3"

Toggled "customize" to on and set "no action" for all three options.

Fingerprint still works for unlock screen but no more annoying chrome "find" pop-up!!
[Android General] Nephiel:
Thank you! It makes sense, F3 is Search Next in Chrome.

I added F3 to a Xposed module, PBMC Key Chains, that I was already using to map the SOS and PTT buttons.

For the record, here's a reference:

F1 is slide right

F2 is slide left

F3 is slide down

F4 is slide up

F7 is hold

F11 is touch (it registers this one along with each of the above)

Hi to all i wanna try something and take ur opinions too. It is about low volume and USB cover so what if i cut it a little bit from inner side? would that fix this pressure inside ? For example cutting middle part of it ?
[Android General] psyck:
I'm having an issue with button mapper turning off automatically. I downloaded the module you mention above and I'm having trouble getting that to work as well. Would you mind listing your settings for the F3 button? I would also like to change camera button from long press to double tap but I have to admit I am a bit confused about settings.
[Android General] Nephiel:
Basic chain

Keys: Single press (F3), delay 0.0s

Actions: Do nothing

Repeats: 0

Vibrations: 0

Screen: Always

Audio: Always

Music: Always

Telephony: Always

Notify: No

Wake up screen: unchecked

Cancel original key functions: checked

For the camera, there is a hardcoded setting in /system/build.prop, ro.camera.longpress_start, that you should set to "no", then you can remap another action. I set mine to launch Open Camera with a long press, except when the screen is off or phone is in a call, and not canceling the original function so it still works when the camera is open.
