It's garbage. Sat next to a router it's normal. Move one room away and it's unusable so I switch to mobile data.
[Elephone S8  Real Life Review] Junsee:
I have the exact same problem with the WiFi.

We have a 50 mb connection. When I'm near the router it's ok. But like you said, move any bit away and it's so slow. If I go to the kitchen I get 0mb.

A couple of feet away and it's gone. All the other phones in the house are perfect.

Bad coverage and speeds.

Any fix for this?
[Elephone S8  Real Life Review] GilDev:
What the hell? I just noticed that too, WiFi download performance is completely bull****! If I change room or get a few meters away from my router the bandwith gets to less than 100*kB/s (on a 2*MB/s connection!).

What can I do with that poor performance? Never seen anything that bad before, if I knew that before I wouldn't have bought it.

Wifi still shows a perfect signal strength (all the bars on WiFi icon). Also when I put my hand above the top right of the phone, there the WiFi is completely dead and I receive nothing at all.
[Elephone S8  Real Life Review] joh9:
Maybe that helps

Had that problem with S7. Check here for possible solution. [url]https://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-13192-1-1.html#.WxKwue4vz_U[/URL]
[Elephone S8  Real Life Review] GilDev:
Thanks for the link but how changing MAC address and IMEI number can help with WiFi issues?

So this problem comes from the antenna because the reception is really affected by the phone's position and angle. When I*turn 180° or when I tilt the phone upwards it starts getting better, but not as my old Ulefone Paris. Can't get over 1*MB/s at all with the Speedtest.net app.
[Elephone S8  Real Life Review] joh9:
Maybe to clear the cache and dalvik cache
[Elephone S8  Real Life Review] GilDev:
Wiping cache and dalvik cache did nothing. Sadly I’m returning the phone, as I can’t live with a malfunctionning WiFi.

I think I’m gonna go with a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 instead: better support, better ROM, better cameras, better performances, better battery life… It’s only not as pretty as the Elephone S8, has a micro-USB plug and the fingerprint scanner is on the back but hey, the advantages are quite big… =)

very good for speech, but not so nice for music because of poor bass performance

Hello

Thank you for this wonderfull configuration soft:

- I set a french Keyboard

- I activate A.GPS (don't try yet)

- I desactivate "connexion data" on startup

- I activate GPS Photo.

I no more find data GPS Locating in exif data of my photo.

Loading photos in Google Earth is not good.

Try Pocket toolman. It seems to be working fine for me. It also allows me to hide the sim contacts.
[Touch Cruise General] TMBomber:
This tweak worked fine for me as discribed by the orginal poster (After I had some apparenlty unrealated problems). The only thing you may be missing is that you need to set the camera into GPS mode which is accessed by pressing up when using the camera (Or just scrolling through the modes till you get to it). A little GPS icon will show up on the camera screen if done correctly.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Supra | MD:
I smashed my Moto X Style screen. I tried to replace it manually, and when I turned it on it wouldn't charge beyond about 3-4%. When I unplugged, it would die instantly. I figured I may have shorted the battery in the process of replacing the screen.

I have now replaced the battery, and I'm still getting the same issue. I've tried a factory reset, different chargers, cleaning the motherboard contacts, replugging the battery several times... It will still not charge beyond about 32%. I can't post a screenshot of Ampere because I've 3 posts, so I'll type it out instead I guess:

Status: Discharging

Plugged: AC Charger

Level: 28%

Health: Cold

Technology: Li-Ion

Temperature: -22.5C

Voltage: 3.762 V

XT1572

7.0

NPHS25.200-15-8

I don't know why it's saying it's cold. It'll display totally different levels all the time. I've been trying to drain it to 0% to recalibrate it. It got to 1%, turned off, but I was able to turn it on another 2 times. I've plugged it in, and now it says 13%. The battery has never gotten warm whilst plugged in and I left it plugged in overnight but it only had "15%".

I've asked on so many forums and I've not gotten an answer to this. Does anyone know what could be wrong?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Sounds like the mainboard connector got broken, perhaps inside where you can't see it, or one of the micro-solder joints... My guess is you need a new mainboard, which for that amount of work you might as well just replace the whole thing.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Supra | MD:
It did sound like something on the motherboard was most likely broken, wanted to make sure. At that time I gave up and ordered a 3T, but I really liked the Moto X and wanted to give another try and repairing it.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] randxor:
Which one is the best and why?

Are they all unlockable? (i know the x722 is, but I read stuff about x727 not being permanently unlocked?!)

Do we have a qfil for x727?( I read there was one, but then it disappeared, also people were saying it didn't work)

Are all x720 roms available for x727(seems like they are)

Network coverage in europe.

Which one will get continous support with Custom roms?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] sk8223:
1. Yes, you can unlock the bootloader on all of them. The x722 only gets bricked if you try to flash stock 26s through TWRP. Read the sticky in this forum.

2. No, there is no QFIL file for the x722. The x720's doesn't work. F.J.V tried creating one, but it didn't work so he took it down in order to prevent people from accidentally thinking there was a fix.

3. Yes, a lot of ROMs are interchangeable, especially if your device has the exact same specs as the x720. But it gets a bit confusing because of the x722, which has the Snapdragon 820 and fewer features compared to the x720 and x727. I believe the x727 has official kernel sources out from LeEco, and since it's exactly the same device as the x720, but with a few different network bands. The x727 was released in the U.S.

x720 ROMs won't necessarily work on the x722. They need to be ported to the x722, as the x722 has a different chipset. That's why there's a separate forum for x722 development, though some argue it's redundant.

4. It depends on how active the developer is. I know LineageOS ROMs tend to get a lot of support.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] randxor:
You once said you would not trust x722 as a daily driver. Why is that?

And when i flash twrp with Odin then Phone bootup in normal mode. Why this happens everytime when i reboot into recovery mode ?
[Touch Cruise General] Noam23:
I did a list of downsides for each (only in relation to each other).

Downsides of Kaiser:

- relatively Big and heavy.

Downsides of Touch Cruise:

(from more worse to less worse)

- No cheap version (like AT&T's TILT - $500 USD).

- Insensitive touch screen.

- Bad reception on Bluetooth.

- Mediocre build quality (loose volume control, etc.)

- No hardware keyboard (becomes a bigger problem if the touch screen is insensitive).

- Smaller xda community (might change in the future).

It seems like the choice should be easy, but I just don't know how easy it will be for me to live with a 200 gram brick in my pocket...
[Touch Cruise General] texarcana:
As a former kaiser and now a polaris owner, I can say:

The Polaris is cheaper than the kaiser

the touch screen works just fine (same as with the tilt)

community for polaris & kaiser is almost the same

the polaris has more & newer functionality (applies to original rom)
[Touch Cruise General] Noam23:
As I said, for the Kaiser there is the cheaper option of going with the AT&T TILT, which can be had NEW (with warranty) for $450-500 USD on ebay. The lowest price on ebay for which the Polaris can be bought is around $700 USD. That's a HUGE price difference, for two products which basically have similar functions and hardware.

I've read just too many posts from people with the Polaris saying the touch screen is insensitive. Are you saying it's a non issue and both the touch screen sensitivity of the Polaris is not worse than the Kaiser ? (it's important for me to hear it from someone who came from the Kaiser).
[Touch Cruise General] briggs81:
A few other things.. haha, on a roll.

With the Kaiser.. I noticed that the way I hold it with one had, my pointing finger woudl ALWAYS land on the damn camera lens because the lens is on the top half of the casing the back. Pretty annoying to obsessively clean that lens. With the cruise, the main camera is in the middle, and my finger does not touch it

I do admit the Kaiser is nicer to actually hold because of the rounder corners and it's thickness. If fits in the hand better.

The cruise has more of a rectangular/pointy shape. It takes a little getting use to but I didn't really notice the difference until today. Also, depends on how you hold it i guess.
[Touch Cruise General] pistonripper:
Kaiser (i've never owned one, although I have a Hermes)too thick....looks dated (very shallow statement..I know)

Polaris..I've never had a problem with the touch screen...barring ofcourse when you try to select a different SIP from the taskbar.

The PocketCM keyboard is one the best touch software around...very intellegent...I was never a texter..but with this keyboard I very rarely have to backtrack my typing...and in general touch software is only going to get better.

besides IMVPO I dont like thick pullout keypads....

Just my 2 pence worth...
[Touch Cruise General] Noam23:
briggs81,

Thank you for your words.

From what you say I think I'll go with the TILT. I simply can't justify paying $200 USD more for the cruise. If they were both at the same price, I would have taken the cruise with its faults, but the price difference is the last straw.

In the following year I'm sure lots of great devices wil come out, including probably HTC devices with proper video drivers. We should always be ready to upgrade, and I don't feel the cruise is such a good investment at this time (if you're on a budget, that is).
[Touch Cruise General] Yzord:
Screen insensitive??? Lol, with the right tweak the screen is to sensitive haha...mine is quick and very alert for touches.
[Touch Cruise General] briggs81:
Maybe on your device, and in your opinion. No point in laughing.
[Touch Cruise General] sonus:
Don't know about everyone else, but my screen is extremely sensitive, it has never missed a tap EVER. FYI, I roll w/o a screen protector (they ruin the look too much imo but I always keep the phone in its suede case when not in use). BTW, Kaiser is really a brick compared to the Polaris, and the polaris is pretty much a one handed phone for me whereas the Kaiser is definitely not, furthermore as far as looks there is really no competition. However, if you need the keyboard Kaiser is clearly the only choice. I emphasize need, bc you will most likely find that you get along just fine with the onscreen touch keyboard.
[Touch Cruise General] athanaso77:
No... this is true. There is not any touch-sensitivity problems with Polaris as it can easily (very easily) can be improved with some registry tweaks.
[Touch Cruise General] raskell:
I own one of the first Touch Cruises (first one reported here in the Forum) and I also have a Kaiser for conducting an end-user custom ROM review. I am free to put my sim card in either device, but it always ends up in the Cruise. I have to force myself to keep the Kaiser active for any time over a few hours.

With the Kaiser custom ROM, I have all of the TouchFlo interface features as the Cruise. I have never perceived a problem with the screen sensitivity on the Cruise. To the contrary, I have more struggles with the Kaiser and most often, I find the landscape/portrait getting out of sync due to accidentally nudging the screen slider on then back off before the swap has time to apply. If you're bothered by the pointy corners on the Cruise, get the Orbit II but this is really only cosmetics. For me I have no issues with the volume slider on the Crusie. The scroll wheel is kind of free and easy, but for the limited number of times I've ever needed to use it, it works fine. I think you can tell which device I prefer. For me, even if it were $200-$250 less for the AT&T Tilt, I don't like it sitting side by side with the Cruise.
[Touch Cruise General] texarcana:
Indeed you can edit the registry setting for the sensitivity of the screen, although it is not needed (atleast for me).

I find it strange that you have to pay 200 dollars more for a cruise then a kaiser.

A kaiser here costs around 670 euro, the cruise costs about 500 euro

Also the pictures I am taking have far more better quality then on the kaiser.

Maybe my lense on the kaiser wasnt clean enough, i don't know.

But as said before here, the position of the camera is way better then on the kaiser. No more fears for dirty fingers on the lense :)

I switched from kaiser to touch cruise and until now i hadnt have one moment of regret :)
[Touch Cruise General] Noam23:
Damn it guys, you are making this decision harder for me :)

Regarding the screen of the touch cruise, how can you protect it if it's on the same plane with the sides of the device, I mean, how will the screen protector stay in one place and not move ?

That's because you don't have the AT&T TILT version of the Kaiser in europe.
