Hello everybody... I've had my Bedove HY5001 for a few days now and I thought I'd do a little review on it and enquire about these MediaTek 6589 Processors. First off, I bought it off OrientDeal for 190 USD. Shipping cost me $30 and I had it in about 3 days from the time it was sent. Took about 5 days to reach me in total. Not bad! The packaging isn't bad and it comes with a couple of screen protectors, some earphones that I haven't tried and two batteries.
On start up it looks a bit Engrish (only reinforced by the text on the back of the phone that says 'Create a Smart Times'. Has a kind of pixelated Android logo but once it boots up it looks pretty good. It runs JellyBean but it's not exactly stock. The most noticeable modifications are: A transparent status bar, a transparent launcher background and color icons in system settings. All pretty minor and rather unnecessary, I'd rather have stock everything but oh well. The display is really nice. It's pretty big though (5"), not uncomfortably so but if you have small hands I'd go for something a bit smaller. It's smooth, runs without lag and for the price, rather nice. The camera is great in decent lighting but not so great in dim light. The build quality is pretty decent and I very much like the aesthetic.
It came with a bit of bloatware but rooting it is easy... There's some funky stuff in there to do with the MediaTek processor and I haven't touched that stuff, but I'd assume it's necessary. Battery life seems ok. Cell standby seems to suck a good bit of battery but I've yet to collect good stats on this. Just don't expect week long battery life. A couple of days is more realistic at best if you use your phone a bit...
As far as I know, the MediaTek processors are quite new and from what I've read, it seems tricky to get CyanogenMod running on them. I don't think it's been done successfully but I really hope it is ported sometime soon (on this note, I'm happy to try and extract my ROM and whatever else I can from my phone to help with development). CyanogenMod would probably fix the Cell Standby battery drain issue but I'm doing some testing to see if I can get it to be a bit more efficient. These new MediaTek Quad-Core based phones are really promising. The processors are great and they're unbelievably cheap. Comparing this to a Nexus 4, I'd say there's not a huge difference in the quality of the display nor in the responsiveness of the screen. The Nexus 4 wins hands down in the battery department, but for the price, this is a very nice phone and I'm sure most others are! Any questions? Can anyone shed some light on what would be required to build a custom ROM for these chips? How about custom base bands? How can I contribute to the development of a custom ROM?
According to my phone, my baseband and build are as follows:
Baseband Version: MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V6, 2013/03/21.
Build Version: HY5001.130425T0.JB2V1.2.V01.MP.EN
Hi

i think he means that the b6000 is better coz it has the new mtk6589T...clocks AT 1.5 GHZ and 386mhz for the powervr..
personally, i'd go for the bedove..in fact am ordering one nxt week ..star b6000 is 5.7 inch..huge!!.
quick question...howz the bedove's gameplay? does it hang when playing Heavy HD games such as modern combat 4, NOVA 3??
also is ther a way to overclock the mtk6589?

Sounds interesting,
I would love to see some more development for this phone. It's really a good deal compared to almost any western branded phone (that is still made in China or Taiwan or Korea anyways).. I'll take a look at vondroid, I already saw the S3 to Newman n2 port discussion but it seems that it is just people wanting it at this stage. Nice to hear you might be doing some stuff too

Additional question, on some sites it says the 3G chip is 2100/900mhz but on some it says 2100 only? Which one is it? Need to know this to see if 3G would work in my country.
It worth to try, more than nothing. Btw today comes the new version of libra and as I see another one already out.

Newman n2 internet problem
Hi there,
can anyone help me out - give me a suggestion how to make the internet connection working with this Newman n2 phone.
My internet network is working - Virgin however i am unable to use internet on the phone.
I have contacted my virgin mobile provider and from their side the internet is ok, i can see as well that it shows that i am connected.
when i go to settings - under "about this phone" it shows that under "mobile network state" it says DISCONNECTED.
maybe this is the reason why my internet doesnt work?
can anyone please tell me how to make this work?
thank you

Well this beta will the first EVIDENCE of the existance of Lollipop for Mate 7...
oh my god this frustrating just release it now please.. I am desperate for some performance increase and better GUI speed...
It gets more and more frustrated, the frustrating has been freezed earlier cause I have been amazed by the big screen experience and good screen, but now when I am used to it I am more frustrated with the slow performance and multi tasking.. I know most people will not notice it but if you work fast and switch between apps fast constantly you get frustrated... Lollipop hopefully improve some things.
The people who do not demand better speed they just use their phone slow, and do not notice the lag.. the lag is for me noticeable.
I assume you already tried changing the power saving mode, considering the default one isn't optimized for performance...
Also lowering the animation scale in the developer options.
Hi guys,
I trust Huawei are sure that by May the new firmware release LP.

Hi guys I'm looking at swapping my nexus 6 with the gf for her new z3 just want to ask a couple of questions if possible
Is it true that rooting the phone will make your camera worse somehow or you loose features of the phone ect?
I want to keep the bootloader locked so I don't loose bravia act I want to just install a custom ROM and recovery so I'm guessing I can do this fine without unlocking the bootloader?
Its running the latest stock ROM do I need to downgrade to a older version before root?
Also maybe bit silly asking here am I crazy swapping the nexus 6 for the z3 or is it a good move lol
Thanks
I've got a Nexus 6, 6P and the Z3. All are great phones. Sometimes I like using the Z3 due to its size, brighter screen, and camera. Also, battery life is awesome. Before you consider rooting, unlocking, etc. You should give the marshmallow concept build a try.

Does it have an affect on anything as far as rooting like breaking camera ect or is it just unlocking the bootloader that does
Just chill Bro, downgrade to 5.0.1 and root it with kingroot, ur bootloader won't unlock, install nuts dual recovery, then install wolfbreak's rom v 12.3, viola ur done, you will get a perfect rom with superb sound u never ever heard since ur born, buy some cool headphones like mdr 31em, ur good to go Bro,
Enjoy your z3 better late then never, give ur nexus to your pets

To finally answer your question:
Unlocking your bootloader is what breaks the "TA" partition, you can get root without unlocking.
However, unlike other people further above suggest, I would not advise you to root with kingroot, as it sends the IMEI of your phone to an IP in China, no one knows what's happening there. There are various very easy guides in this forum, you will have to downgrade to 4.4.4, root it, and then flash an pre-rooted ROM, no hassle really.
I like the display, though it's slightly on the blueish side, but its really fine. Audio - well, the speakers are on the front, but a bit silent, no worries though, there's a mod for that.
To get a custom ROM you will most likely have to unlock your bootloader, loosing all PlayStation connections and the enhanced image procedure, to this point there are only some minor workarounds.
Edit: some ROMS work on locked too.

there is difference between 801 and 805 but developers ported z5 files for z3 so? noo need to worry , just give a try bro you wont regret
So I think I'm doing the right thing swapping to the Xperia z3 just don't want to loose the bravia or camera firmware ect
Does the new z5 apps come with the display tweaks ect just thought the 801 processor would lag or something compared to the 805
Sorry for all the questions just will be swapping tonight if I do lol

Even if you want to unlock bootloader also there are tuts for backing up drm key and restoring them, nothing will be hurt,
Most of z5 stuffs has been ported but I dont get too much surprises from them, I just need high resolution Audio thats it.
hey about that lag thing, its doesnot exist (805 - 801) = 4 (minor difference)
Hey guys, I'm planning to buy this phone because I found a great deal and I really love the phone after watching reviews. But I'd like to have some advice. What are your experiences with the device? My main concerns are display, camera and battery. Also, I noticed It doesn't have much support from devs, which is very important to me. I saw there's a cm12 ROM. How does it work? Is it smooth? Bugs? Also any chance of getting cm13?
Thank you guys, I'd really appreciate some help!!

This is my honest opinion coming from a Nexus 6 (RIP)
This phone is actually not bad, battery life is good, camera is good to me in good lighting.
Display is excellent in my opinion.
One, two or three Roms is better than none.
CM is pretty stable and smooth for daily use, just make sure you follow the install instructions.
But just like any Roms out there, there's always gonna be bugs lol
There will be Cm13 as soon a few minor bugs has been fix.
No need to move on quick without taking care of those first that way we'll have a better experience on Marshmallow
Hope that helps.

Thanks for your reply. I think the hardware is ok, I come from a Galaxy S3 so I don't expect too much from it. What I really love is the processor and RAM. But the most important to me is being able to run cyanogenmod. So there is no limitation in terms of rom development? Lack of sources or something? And by bugs I meant important bugs like nfc not working etc.
Thank you again!!

Well,sources arent a problem!
And the current bug is the fact that the phone isnt "reversible" anymore on CM(only one side-the upper one-can be used for calls),and that the dual sim variant has to settle with using only one sim(for now).
As for the roms,there are CM,Vanir and AICP,and I am working on bringing even more roms.
But I suggest buying this device only if you are planning on buying the 5.5 inch variant,and not the 4.7 inch one.
I am glad roms work without major issues. I'd even try to build some if it's not too difficult for me(I'm a begginer dev). And yeah, I bought the 5.5 variant, waiting for it to arrive. I think the phone is great, the only downside I find is the video recording. Anyway I don't use that too much.
i got 6039
display, speakers, sound on headphones, performance, call sound quality - verry good
camera is good on sunny days. indoors hdr a little help. but there is one small fault - volume microphone. its too quiet from videos or dictaphone . does not apply to calls.
Screen resolution, speakers and ease of use is great on this device.
Can be a little laggy, but not too bad. For $200, it's a great deal for the money. It's no Samsung G6 or an iPhone 6, but it'll hang with all the other mid range phones.
Just be sure to be careful of the glass screen, is vulnerable to crack and a repair will set you back $100 unless you can fix it yourself.
I can only recommended it if you plan to install CM or other custom ROM. Stock ROM lags. Make sure you also flash the camera MOD from @Androidcid. Phone has band 12 but not sure that it works when used on T-Mobile.

Hey guys, I'm planning to buy this phone because I found a great deal and I really love the phone after watching reviews. But I'd like to have some advice. What are your experiences with the device? My main concerns are display, camera and battery. Also, I noticed It doesn't have much support from devs, which is very important to me. I saw there's a cm12 ROM. How does it work? Is it smooth? Bugs? Also any chance of getting cm13?
Thank you guys, I'd really appreciate some help!!

I don't know is it just the 5.5" variant, but I've seen few devices running on the same SoC and they stutter way more than my 4,7" variant on the SD 410. So if you already unsure if you should get one,get the smaller one. The display is good, the sound is amazing and the camera is meh, it gets the job done. As for the battery, I usually get 4h and 30min SOT,when it hits under 20% .
Thank you guys, I already have the 5.5 variant on my hand and I have to say it's awesome, the display is great, and it's super light for its size. I installed NOVA launcher and the device is pretty smooth. But I'm really disappointed with the camera, it's just awful. I'm really struggling to get any detail on people's face even with flash. Does it also happen to you guys?
In my opinion the camera is quite correct for the price. I think the word "awful" is a bit exaggerated.

This is my honest opinion coming from a Nexus 6 (RIP)
This phone is actually not bad, battery life is good, camera is good to me in good lighting.
Display is excellent in my opinion.
One, two or three Roms is better than none.
CM is pretty stable and smooth for daily use, just make sure you follow the install instructions.
But just like any Roms out there, there's always gonna be bugs lol
There will be Cm13 as soon a few minor bugs has been fix.
No need to move on quick without taking care of those first that way we'll have a better experience on Marshmallow
Hope that helps.

Funny, I switched to Nexus 6, lots of good deals of late ($260 64GB), & of course, v6.0.1 & many cusom roms. I've relegated this phone to kid's multimedia. Night & day speed difference.

I don't know if it's because I updated the firmware, but now the camera performs much better than when I first tested it. This is an awesome device!
BTW, do you know if I can take RAW pictures somehow?
I see there are many variants of this device. Mine is 6045Y. What is the difference between them?
For the camera : yes since the update it performs much better.
For the raw pictures : I don't know, I'm an "awful" photographer.

I bought this phone 2 days ago and I have to say it does have delays stutters and everything. the animations aren't smooth at all.
I was trying to see if anyone had any luck trying to make it faster.
my animations are on 0.5x and i have disabled a lot of packages but freaked out a bit about KNOX. should I disable that too? I'm not sure if it made much of a difference since it's slower but I did get a lot more battery life on my s7 edge after doing this!

install the PAS like a normal app. Reboot. Change animations to .2 or .1
Profit.

Thanks! but I think even 0.5x is a bit too slow already! I love animations as long as they're not running at 12fps
The lower the setting the faster the phone will feel. in my opinion. So. .1 or .2 will feel faster than the .5 that you're using
Nope nope nope. If you want butter, and want to blow your d*ck off, install the Unlocked Firmware. Removes bloat, and it is as smooth as my pixel was. I'm seriously in shock still

As do I.
Follow the Unlocked Firmware installation instructions to a T. Including using the files that thread provides and you'll have the fastest and smoothest phone on the block.

Same problem here. But the rest says this device is perfect :silly: Really strange behavior for a flagship. But after a 1-2 weeks, u will get used to this.

Yeah! even the annoying ghosting of theSamsung AMOLEDs is gone! unless I got min which Is only at late night!
What's funny is that the only reason this phone lags is Samsung's bloatware!
Can't they just ask us if we want the features at the beginning (First boot? like stock android or Samsung experience)

I bought mine unlocked!
Hi there . Got the same problem . I got before iPhone 6s plus nexus 6 nexus 6p oneplus 3t and many more . When I pick up Samsung a8+ i don't have lag . I have low performance or slow os or I don't know how to define the point is my phone move so slow .I changed the animation . I got the unlocked version . I don't know how to debloat but I tried different thinks on my s8 to make it faster with no luck . I think the 7.0 is the problem. On 7.1.1 the speed improve a bit for sure . O hope they will fix it with a software update or something . Or xda guys manage to make lineage os or RESURECTION REMIX stable so we can get rid of lag .

It's not 7.0. it's the hundreds of bloat apps and services. Disabling hellos but to really deal with it you need to actually remove the apps from the device
Fixed. I just bought razer phone
