The long awaited Elephone P3000 is now around the corner. Below here you can read the announcement from Elephone. I may get this and post a Unboxing and Review later when I got it. What do you think about it?
•The JDI screen displays sharp and high quality pictures. Meanwhile, power consumption of the screen decreased. There is still power left after heavy use for one day, that has solved the power consumption problem that exists on Android 4.4.2 phones. The camera performs outstanding, and there are lots of options in the menu to fit the different shooting environment. The accuracy of the color reduction reaches 90%. It performs excellent in low light condition.
•Furthermore, the combination of MTK 6592 and 6290 works great for 4G LTE. MTK 6592 is a mature developed Soc that has stable performance regarding running complex functions such as games and multi tasks.
Elephone released the Elephone P3000 in two versions. The P3000 and the P3000S. The Elephone P3000 is the lesser equipped one of the two. The Elephone P3000 comes with a Mediatek MT6582 1.3GHz Quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM memory. The Elephone P3000S comes with a faster Mediatek MT6592 1.7GHz Octa-core processor and 2GB of RAM. Both of the phones have a 720p OGS IPS screen that promises good viewing angles and color reproduction.
Main Features:
Elephone P3000s 5.0 Inch
RAM: 2GB / ROM: 16GB
Android 4.4 KitKat
MTK6592 Octa Core, 1.7GHz / Mali-450MP
Radio/Modem: MT6290
Support micro SD (T-Flash) 128G
NFC Built-in
SIM+micro SIM card, dual standby
Support Gravity/Light/Proximity Sensing System
FM/MP3/MP4/Bluetooth/GPS Function Supported
Note: This phone will only work with GSM+WCDMA+FDD-LTE
Networks: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz FDD-LTE 800/1800/2100/2600MHz
Cons/Minus:
The camera flash is not 100% synchronized with the shutter.
Compass sensor gives erratic output

What should I say....
A MTK6592 quad core combined with a 3150 mAh battery, 4G network , 2GB RAM 16GB ROM, and pretty almost full frequency
Guess that should last forever ...

It seems to be a very good device.....

I've pre ordered, it looks a good phone

Interesting ! I may (pre)order it for a friend.

Good Phone.

Android or MIUI
Does this device ship with Android or MIUI? I read somewhere else that we will have a choice of what system installed on the device,right?

I think with normal Android UI only. Sometimes Elephone then later upload another ROM in their forum (http://service.elephone.hk/forum.php).

Post #1 now updated with FULL REVIEW & GPS TEST video.

I wonder if it's a trustworthy device or if a lot of malfunctions will be appeared in the future.

The Elephone P3000s is a wonderful device so far as i can see. :good: and the awesome fingerprint scanner looks fancy alway like it

What malfunctions? everything works fine on the phone - you should know if you check the review. Only I must say that the Fingerprint scanner is just a gimmick for me. I don't really use it. And if your fingers are a little sweaty you sometimes have to do it twice before it can scan the finger correct, but it's not a big deal. Things like, WiFi, reception, speed, RAM, GPS, display, 3D games etc. works perfect for me on this device.

I am cautious to buy this device because some elephone devices in the past appeared problems. It's a very low cost devise for these specifications so I am afraid of low manufacture quality.
How would you characterize the external material and the quality of the device?
Do you advise me to risk and buy it?

Well, I already told my opinion in my video review. If you should buy it or not is up to yourself. Everything works fine for me on this phone. Previous Elephone models had problems with the battery draining too fast, or that you had to tap 2 times sometimes before it would react, on the P3000S the touchscreen seems to be better and the battery is also really good.

Is it possible for every phone to be rooted and it will became rootable in the future?

LOL that is completely nonsense where did you read that? all Elephones comes pre-rooted from stock with SU when you buy them. It have been like that since the G series from Elephone. In my Review video in post #1 you can also see that it has SuperSU installed.

THL 2015 4G LTE can be used in the United States?

Click to expand...

That depends on the provider, in USA the providers don't all use the same network bands. That vary from provider to provider making it very hard to answer that question. The THL 2015 supports 2100/1800/2600/800 MHz on 4G/LTE. Better ask your provider if they support these bands or not.

Good, I am buyer of a phone, it thl 2015 or this jiayu s3, ...
can tell me how is this phone .. it has can put some thoughts on it, bugs ... costum roms, ... and lollipop, update .... thanks

Interesting.
I'm going to be in Europe for part of this summer and while I was leaning towards the Elephone P7000, I was concerned that it would not be available in time. I have settled with this phone, and it should be in my possession shortly. I'm somewhat disappointed it ships with Android 4.4, but I'm hopeful it will receive Lollipop soon.
Does anyone know how heavily skinned this phone is? I'm wondering how close we are to AOSP.

Got one this morning after pre-release ordering at coolicool, with DHL +£15 tax to the UK, seems good so far, expect they'll give us 5.1 from 4.4.4 soon, noticed quite a lot of their stuff here http://www.needrom.com/category/thl/thl-2015 think I'll use Nova launcher for now, just under 41,000 in Antutu, keep us posted if they can be rooted if it's later required.

It can be rooted by VRoot_1.8.2.13135.
I already done that at the weekend.
I tried to create custom recovery by autocreate TWRP with no success.
Gravity box also not compatible with the latest xposed framework yet

Is this any use? http://playfuldroid.com/how-to-root-thl-2015-in-less-than-an-hour
Would there be any version of CyanogenMod available to us if it does start working rooted?

Put Bounty On Device?
Does anyone know of any websites that I can use to place a "bounty" on a device? I'd like a 5.0 ROM, and I'd be willing to put money into a pot that is awarded to the first person to complete this task. Does XDA support this?

Could someone check for me if the display is amoled? Please turn on black background on some lcd test app and check inside dark room if the display give some light or is completly dark.

Check post #1 I already show it in the full Review Video there, under LCD test/backbleeding test! The phone has no AMOLED. That is wrong info by some webshops.

Hi

Compass and Gyroscope
Hi guys, what about compass and gyroscope? Is Google Skymaps working properly. Thank you!

hello! whether on this phone to upgrade to Android 5.0?

No Android 5 update from the manufacturers yet, have had one OTA update from THL but not sure what it did. Does anyone know why some apps find this phone as rooted even without rooting it? I'm trying to get SkyGo to work (they are strict for DRM tv viewing) and also Trustable by Bluebox lists it as rooted out of the box - with some issues that THL should probably be working on too. Is there any way using it rooted to remove all the files that makes these apps think it is rooted then use the unroot option so aps like SkyGo would then work?
Also noticed Recovery TWRP over on needrom if this is any better than iRoot method?

Blackview BV5000 5.0 Inch HD, 5000mAh, Rugged Waterproof Outdoor Smartphone

Real Pure Unboxing Video (phone is from Tomtop.com - more info in the video description on YouTube)
Unboxing
Full Review
Blackview BV5000 is a 4G smartphone that is IP67 waterproof, dustproof & shockproof!
A very solid and robust outdoor phone from Blackview. Very hard glass and a very big bumper surrounds the phone. It comes with a decent camera that is enough for an outdoor phone. Sharp and bright display with good response and sensitivity.

Have you tested the GPS?

Not a game phone as the CPU is not the fastest for that, it is an outdoor phone. Battery life could be the best I ever have seen, currently running a Geekbench 3 battery test (on screen time) and it has so far run for 11 hours straight and it still has 50% battery left. Will update this with the final results when it is done with the whole test.

To post #1 I have also now added 2 videos (full review) & camera samples.

Is there a root method available for this phone yet? Or a custom recovery?
I've been thinking about getting the BV-5000 for a while now but I can't find much information about it.

Sorry but I haven't seen/found root yet for this phone.

Just got this phone from Everbuying.com and everything is working just fine, but I got absolutely shocked when I saw multiple scratches in the display! It was supposed to survive from nails and knives, but it got scratched in my pocket with car keys and that kind of basic stuff... I didn't put the screen cover on, because hey, it was supposed to deal with extreme conditions!!
Do you people know if I can get a better screen for that somewhere, somehow? There must be somewhere some other kind of screens or are all those videos fake?

Are you sure that the scratches are not just on the factory preinstalled screen protector? It is kind of strange because I don't have any scratches on mine, but did also not put it together with keys etc.

Phone is not rugged at all. I bought 10 and 6 of them are already broken. Situation is the same with most of their dealers (although they don't admit it because the factory changes the screen free of charge if you have bought a lot of phones), even the factory admits everything is advertising.
Rooting can be easily done but the only good thing with that phone is the battery. No compass, no 5GHz WLAN.... you can only use the charging cable that comes with the phone, the usb is longer because of the so called protector.

Has anyone installed a (universal) wireless charger on this phone yet?

hey
i would not recommend this phone at all. im after buying 2 of them and the screens did not even last a week before breaking. the screen protrudes too much so it can be easily broken. the worse thing is that it is impossible to find a decent cover for it so it will just keep happening

Hello,
I need some help !
I flash my BV5000 with flashtool with stock ROM, all was fine, but now, it doesn't start, black screen... Even if I plug it with USB cable !

Price?
How much it cost?

Wow...HOMTOM look like they have lifted their game... This looks like a really decent phone....I wonder what price tag they put on it. But it certainly does stack up in terms of specs. I would love to be able to have a test run of it. If anyone knows how much please let me know.

http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/334d3c04
Primary Camera is 21MP but video resolution is 2MP.
and I am kind of worry to buy it.

Hi Tayibe,
Since you got the phone, why don't you share some photos and video of the front and back camera quality?

Hi,
was wondering have you got the phone?

I have the phone, the camera is not that great. Decent sensor but too much smoothing. Hopefully can be fixed with a software update.

I have it for over 2 weeks now but not really tested it till now. My phone reboots nearly 10 times every day, thats sad. But there is new software from 2016-09-14 I have not tested yet. First I wanna backup the complete FW but do not find the right files like twrp or something else. MTK Droid Tool can not root the phone too.

Sad to hear all that.
Hope software can render better pictures and solve reboots.

Yesterday I made a Download with SP Flash Tool (no Upgrade) and got the new Firmware and a Factory Reset -.-
But the reboot problem still exists

My main complaints with the HomTom HT10
HARDWARE ISSUES
compass isn't available
NFC isn't available (it was advertised but removed!)
OTG isn't available (it was advertised but removed!)
network reception is bad (3G/4G)
Wi-Fi reception is bad (3G/4G)
not detecting/connecting 5Ghz Wi-Fi networks
audio speaker quality (distortion and not enough bass)
battery losing energy way too quickly
camera quality is bad on low light situation
SOFTWARE ISSUES
- battery saving mode is too aggressive (cannot easily modified for a bunch of Apps)
languages preferences are lost if IDLE or turned off (if you set french language it will comeback later to Netherlands. it could be because Belgium country has multiple official languages (french/nederlands/dutch) or if because the smartphone was shipped from .nl post)
- defaults apps choice in settings is too limited
- If you choose to protect your device with a password (PIN/password/pattern) for intrusion your device is going to freeze and you will have to reboot !
- hardware navigation buttons cannot be modified / edited
- HomTom OS is much less complete than MIUI8 (or even UMI OS)
MAJOR MISC PROBLEM:
There is no official forum to post bugs reports !
There is no updates or fixes for those issues announced.
There is no tutorials yet to flash/root.

Try here though I don't think they have released Nougat for HT10 & may never will!

homtom ht10 scratch
Hello, objection to this cell phone ht10, i know i will not use but i have to write, which is not that it is karst but is rubbish, its gsm connection is not it, even in indoors, means in the room, no signal loses signal if it is covered i lost a total signal, i have a private rental company and because of that karst i lost 20 guests, i did not realize i did not get a signal, android softwer 6.0 is the same karst i can not make a shortcut, i can not call because we the first instructions are inserted and after a couple of typing the connection is terminated or they can only receive the call! all in all the karst scratch of the cell phone!
Yes and I still forgot the camera in the dark room or the object was not flashing the picture was black, wifi bad as it should be rolling, there is more but the lesson is that the device is rubbish, garbage, waste, fuj from the device !!!!!

Nowhere because it's a cell phone shackle

Meiigoo S8 6.1'' 18:9 full display dual-sided 3D | 4+64GB | 13+5MP Dual | Android 7.1

The Meiigoo S8 has now been announced and along with that introduction comes confirmation of the full specs on offer with this smartphone. What is likely to be one of the main points to note is that this is a device that follows in the footsteps of a number of high profile 2017 smartphones by utilizing an 18:9 aspect ratio. The inclusion of this edge-to-edge design allows the Meiigoo S8 to make use of a smaller physical footprint compared to what would be encountered with a device adopting a more traditional bezel level. As a result, the Meiigoo S8 features a larger than usual 6.1-inch display, but within the body of a smartphone more often associated with a smaller display. A design aspect which not only looks to add a premium touch to this smartphone, but one which is also designed to offer a more comfortable holding experience.

The highlight features of the S8 are that it sports a 6.1-inch HD+ display with 18:9 aspect ratio which takes up 83% of the whole front panel and coated in dual-sided 3D curved glass. Spec wise, the S8 is equipped with a powerful MTK6750T octa-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, 4GB RAM, 64GB of storage, expandable up to 256GB, dual rear cameras (13.0MP + 5.0MP combo), rear fingerprint scanner, 5.0MP front-facing shooter, USB TYPE-C, 3300mAh battery and Android 7.1 Nougat as the OS.
Stay Tuned for New updates and Review.

I'm not seing much Meiigoo on XDA and wonder if this phone will get rooted. It would be nice to have a "utility phone" to play with. Assume it will be pretty bare bones Nougat (but at least 7.1)

I doubt XDA will have any development, i just got the phone yesterday and an testing it out.

Can't compare it to other phones, since I don't have any, but mine is behaving surprisingly well. It's my secondary phone, so obviously it's not under a lot of stress, but I can honestly say I notice no bugs or problems some YouTubers are having. In fact I am quite happy with it. I only wish the camera was better, but for such a low price the phone is a steal. I'd love to see some cusom ROMs developed for it.

Who knows how to upgrade from Android 7.0 to Android 7.1? In menu: "settings -> about phone -> phone status -> Wireless update" it says that my device's software is up to date...
The photo of Meiigoo S8 in first post is not realistic. The display is not borderless. In attach the real one.

Hi I bought one of these phones but the charging port overheated and melted 2 charging leads. I cannot get parts anywhere, does anyone have any ideas where I might get a replacement board ?

If you want to get rid of this let me know.... I know how to make it useable…
You can delete the systemapps with a Tool.
Even you can delete the launcher and use one of your choice.

How?

Download this tool …
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=19002#downloads
it is for Huawei phones but works with all phones i tested even not Huawei.
Install it and turn USB Debugging on, on your phone.
Then go to modifications klick Show and then you can see all installed apps.
Delete the ones you do not Need. If you delete the launcher, you must install another one before, otherwise you Need to factory reset your phone.

The program tool is not working. It close by itself after see what is the phone connected.

I did it here with the meigoo S8 without any Problems. I tried it at home and there it doesn´t work ! Must be some Kind of Driver or missing .dll files or so.
Try another PC and look if this works then.

I have tried it on 3 different PC (WD 10, WD 8.1, WD 7) . I suspect it for Huawei phone, cause every time it connected to phone then close the app by itself. But I can uninstall sys-apps by used adb shell command.

Hello,
Mobile data doesn't work on 3G and 4G (frequencies are ok).
I tried write on email ([email protected]) but is undelivered.
With hard reset nothing changed...
Does anyone have the stock rom?
