I just registered to reply to this as I came across the Doogee DG350 on focal price today and have bought one, after doing a Google search for reviews etc I came across your post. The 4.7 720p screen with the MTK6582 quad core and 1GB is what sets this apart from other handsets at this price, otherwise you would have to sacrifice resolution, screen size or CPU cores. Can't wait for it to arrive, even more so can't wait to see if you can manage to root it and try out some custom FW :good:

Doogee DG350, Doogee DG650 and Doogee DG2014 is a very good phone. http://www.doogeemobile.com/ This is DOOGEE Mobile official site?

Yeah, I've been using the Doogee Pixels DG350 (Basically same as Umi X1 Pro if anyone was wondering) for 3 days now and am very impressed with it considering the very low price with no issues as of yet

Hi, i've read that someone noticed a kind of lag in the bottom part of the touchscreen. Can you please confirm it's all ok with the touchscreen ?
And .. what about the battery life ? is it good ?
Thank you

yeah the touchscreen works fine, except I've noticed that when taking photos using the stock camera app that the onscreen shutter button only appears to work with a certain section of the button and if pressed elsewhere on the button it does not work (hence appearing to look like lag on the bottom part of the touchscreen), IMO this is not a problem with the touchscreen but with the camera app itself and hopefully future updates will fix this or you could use the volume button as the shutter or use a different camera app entirely though I havent tried any other camera apps as I just got used to pressing the shutter button in the right location or just used the volume button.
EDIT: the battery life seems to be fine so far however only been using for 3 days and today since the morning till now (9pm) the battery has gone done to 66% after some light use during the morning and wifi use (downloading GPS maps ~400mb) in the afternoon.
Hope this clears things up or maybe even made you even more confused
Good luck

Thank you for your review, I also thought that the lag was from the stock camera app and not the hardware- so I recommend to use the great Lenovo Super Camera:

Hi,
Thanks for the app suggestion, will try it as soon as I get time to
Also I'm wondering if anyone has started to develop custom roms for the Doogee DG350 (or Umi X1 Pro) because that would be awesome as I'm keen to see if Kitkat would work on this. Realistically I guess I would have to wait for a larger user base before anyone would start developing custom roms but its worth a shot
Thanks,
Kasun

hi :] I want to buy it for my girlfriend...

Hi Arielbgb,
I don't really have any experience with the Newman N2 but just checking the pandawill site specs, the phone appears to be have better specs (better back camera, 8gb rom compared with 4gb, etc) than the DG350 but if you do believe the Newman N2 might have problems you should probably ask the Pandawill site what their returns policy is just incase something goes wrong, the DG350 might have problems as well its pretty early on from release so you can't really tell till sometime has passed.
Also the Newman N2 appears to have better community dev support with some custom roms already available. Overall what type of phone you want is down to personal preference and if the N2 doesnt have any problems it looks like the better phone IMO but I guess the DG350 looks more stylistic however the N2 probably has cases that will improve the look, I probably would have got the N2 phone too if I had known about it before I purchased my DG350.
Hope this helps somewhat and goodluck with whatever phone you choose
EDIT: I haven't come across any other problems with my DG350

I ordered this device and I am waiting yet. However, I was talking with other Doogee Dg350 users and:
No GPS problem if you root it and use mtkdroidtools.
Camera issue is known by Doogee and they are working on it to fix it.
Touchscreen seems to work better with another launcher as Nova, but the problem is still there. In addition, when the device is on a table, bottom touch doest not work properly.
There is a video issue. Every 8-10 seconds, the video has a strange behaviour. Something like black frames or similar.
Youtube video has lag. It is a "hardware decode" issue. If you install another app that allows you to change to "software decode", the problem is solved. For instance, Viral Youtube or MXPlayer.
Anyway, these all problems were sent to Doogee technical service.

Doogee from last year began to develop mobile phone, the quality of the mobile phone will have certain problems.

Thanks for the list of problems Mabil, I can confirm the video blackscreen issue and the youtube issue doesnt seem to be very apparent when using the official youtube app however using the browser version there is evident lag. So far I havent ran into any problems with the touchscreen itself, it maybe for some users only.
Also I'm wondering if there is any dedicated forum to the Doogee DG350/Umi X1 Pro or where you were talking to other DG350 users?

I would make sure that the GPS works on the N2, had the biggest disappointment with my newly bought K18.
After trying to contact Newman several times with no success I decided that I am done with them.
Worst GPS ever, I also ordered the Doodgee DG350, cant wait for it to arrive.
Its very similar to the Inew V3. So far I only read good stuff about it aaaaaand GPS works fine es well.

thanks for the help :]
I also read that the gps on newman n2 working very bad.
so I think i choose dg350 :] r u sure that the gps working well? maybe any screenshots on "gps test" from some1 who have it?

[REQUEST] Touch screen calibration

Hi,
Just wondering if any devs will come across this thread since I was hoping that they can make somehow a touch screen calibration app for the z1 since it really has touch issues. You may refer to the thread found in the sony forums and youtube to see how worse is the issue.
Touch screen fails to recognize touches and its really annoying that it affects the daily use and you cant use your phone when gaming..
I really hope someone kind will help me out as this will also be a great help to other people who have the same exact problem.
Many thanks.

Is there a difference between your flashable zip and the one here in the forums? my model is c6903 LTE. will it affect my phone since I'm using what's designated in my country. Or if that did not solve the issue can I use SUS to revert back to my original firmware?
EDIT ADD: so you do have before the touch issue when using the phone during games and when its flat on a surface in which the phone stops registering touches?

I just merged 259's system in flashable .257 zip.
You can uncheck all "Wipe:" and uncheck Kernel only and check all others in "Exclude:" to prevent overwriting your system or baseband.
I'm using C6903 UK LTE, I flashed my zip and kernel only and I can still use LTE on .259 with no problem.
Yes, you can always use SUS or Flashtool to reverting back.
My issue was during games.

Thanks for the detailed explanation mate, I'll send a pm also to you later. I'll try what you have said by the time I got home. I hope it works. For the mean time, may I ask a favor? can you please try placing your z1 on a flat surface and try running the service test to see if the problem is really solved since the issue is very hard to replicate. Several tries/attempts are needed.
First try placing your phone on top of a paper, then on a pillow and last is on a flat table.
Sorry to trouble you but you really got my hopes up for my ****ty z1.

Thanks mate, been waiting for your reply as I'm refreshing the page once in a while. Have you tried continuous lines or scribble since that triggers the problem when you're using the screen continuously without lifting your finger.
Sorry if I'm really bothering you but I really just have to confirm and once this fixed the problem, I can share your tip to the guys at the sony forum so that they will be freed from the touch screen curse. I really appreciate your help and effort.

Yep, that's my main gripe with the touch issue as it loses touch and returns again. I'll try what you have told me at home then if it works or not I'll get back to you.
I'll be holding on to what you have said that the touch problem is not there anymore since you flashed .259 :good:
users on .259 reported that their touchscreen issue was not solved even after updating to .259
Really sucks since my problem gets from worse to worse day by day

So your saying that flashing the 259 kernel alone would be enough to eradicate the touch screen issue? Don't really want to flash another rom but it is annoying.

If you get it then put it out here, let the community benefit.
As for customer support, i emailed them about the bootloader issue with people who have a status of No and the response was just like i was speaking with a robot, i asked is there a way around it and that the previous response was neither helpful nor educational and I got another of the same responses, i've sent a third email asking if they just copy and paste an email from a list and if I don't get a human response with at least a glimmer of hope then i'll be boycotting Sony for life and i'll make sure everyone knows how poor their services are.
I've never asked them a question in my life, I did mention that and this is the response I get, lol forget that, I've learnt a few lessons from getting this phone, first one being never buy a sony again and second, always check if the bootloader is unlockable and not locked because of a networks request.

Call Recorder?

Hey guys... i have a moto G that came with Android 4.3 and Call recording was working perfectly using the app Automatic Call recorder.
Now the phone auto updated to 4.4.2 and the call recorder has stopped working... and i have tried about 15 different call recorder apps but none seem to work. They manage to record the mic... but not the speaker.
Im on Stock 4.4.2 and unrooted.
Also Call recording is legal where i am so no need to worry.
Kit kat wont record calls with any program from line on this device; it did with JB perfectly. Idk why

The only one expected to work is Callrecorder, but you need to be root and on a CM rom.
Settings fixed to Moto x and CAF. It's supposed to work but I can't assure because I'm on Unrooted stock rom.
¿Could anybody test for us and share results?

Yea I tried this app as well but as you said I think it needs root... Not sure about the CM thing... But it doesn't work on stock unrooted...
Don't really want to unroot or change ROMs for now... But question is has kitkat actually been changed natively to stop call recording...?

No, is not a question of KitKat, because I have other devices running kitkat and I can record calls without problems.
I don't know who is the black hand that has disabled this option on Moto G under KitKat...
I am thinking seriously on coming back to Stock JellyBean.

Are you sure its recording both ways of the conversation...?? Input and output...?? Because seems you only made a small clip. Most apps do record the mic and if you volume is loud enough it, the mic will also catch some of the incoming convo as well if its quiet enough...
But being able to actually record the proper incoming sound feed is what's the issue.
Please confirm this and let us know the result...

I can confirm that after someone call me, or i call... But i think is working, because sound in my 'test' was clear on both sides. It was not only my voice loud and clear, and other was not only something in behind...
You can try it too
Now i can confirm it...
Both sides are loud and clear... But time shown near recording on 'main screen' is wrong... My last call was more than 10s long, and time shown is only 1s.

Good to know, but I decided to downgrade to 4.3 because I didn't want to unlock the bootloader and lose warranty... Thankfully we can do that... But annoyingly the phone will ask to update every day... Don't know if that can be turned off...

Well unfortunately there is no way or form to get call recording to work on KitKat at all, whether you root or not. The only thing you can do is downgrade the software back to 4.3
Having said that there are various apps that say the recording is working on 4.4, but that's BS. What's working is only mic recording, not proper 2 way recording.

There is no effect on the phone itself, except your going to an older firmware which is not as good as the newer software by rule of thumb. But nothing which is really a deal breaker. It is just unruly that for once there is a phone that gets regular immediate updates, but your forced to use old outdated firmware which is missing new added features.
Having said that, you mentioned you are using the dual sim moto G, so I'm not 100% sure if they phone launched on 4.3 or directly on 4.4. IF it launched with KitKat, then sorry you cannot downgrade. If it launched in JB 4.3, then you can, by downloading the factory image which is about 350mb. The procedure itself takes about 15 mins if you know what your doing... Takes about 45 mins if you dont.
Just search xda for a factory flashing thread specific to your phone, I'm sure there should be one. It will have all steps listed.
Be advised tho... When downgrading the firmware, ALL data on the phone will be erased... Both system AND the SD partition. So yes you will need to backup your imp stuff.

When I was interested on that feature I usually used an app called Callerrecorder or something like that. By then it worked fine, I dunno if still being avalaible or updated btw...
Can anyone please confirm if a call recording apps work on new update 4.4.4 kitkat update on Moto G (16GB version).
This feature was working on 4.3 and was broken on 4.4.2. When i checked with Motorola Customer support executives on chat, few days back they asked me to wait for the next update.
Can anyone confirm if any of the call recording apps are working ?

lolipop sim card bug ?

While I really love the new lollipop release with all my part there seem to be a bug relating to the sim card.
It happens a few times each day that the phone unmount/cant detect sim card.
What happens is that you can have the phone on your table then when you pic it up it will request for sim pin code.
This is a quite serious problem since I want to be able to reached 24/7
Some other person in the lollipop confirmed he had the same problem.
Both we and him seem to have the same problem and it happens when you toggle off mobile data.
Which I always do when I do not want any notifcations from IMs.
I hope there is any solution of this. Also could more people confirm they have the same problem ?
Yes I have the same problem. Mate 7 in the Netherlands. And its also confirmed on frandroid.
That same problem I have. Maybe huawei do it update to repair this bug. We must wait and see

Good then we can confirm it is software related ( I was worried that it was hardware since I did just send mine back inf for service it turns out everything besides motherboard is new)
I suggest we spam the huawei support right now, cause this is a very important bug.
uptime and reachabilbity must be the priority number one... otherwise I am very very very very very happy with the lollipop update.
Have some one been figuring out how to avoid this bug and what exactly cause it how to replicate and avoid it ?

I have the same problem, rolled back before I could try a solution that some say work.
Try disabling touch-disable mode. It's set to ON by default.
You can find it under 'Settings -> Smart Assistance -> More'
Please reply in thread with your experiences, working or not.

It's supposed to prevent accidental taps while the phone is in your pocket..
Have no clue why or how this can be a solution to our problem, however, it's been discussed in the forum and it helps some users.

I have disable this now and it had no impact for me unfortunately the bug is still present and have happened a few times already.
It seem to only happens when the phone is in sleep..so never when you are using the device.

Just like my LG G2 did only hold 3 months my G3 hold only a few weeks, one fall at the ground was enough, LG devices is one of the most vulnerable devices for sure.. the digitizer stopped working.. . While I had my G3 I had sent in my Mate 7 to service. only a couple of days after I cracked the G3 screen I received the Mate again pretty good timinig, and the speed of Lollipop made me really like the device, it opened a new dimension for this device for sure
I hvae contacted huawei support now, They agreed it was a very serius bug and they would send the request higher up, I told them I have seen many people in forums have the same problem, by the reply I Got it seemed like the felt embarssed that a bug like this did even exist on a device like this... Indeed It is... bugs is one thing...but when the bugs
does mess with the fundamental functions of the devices such as reachabillity then it embarssing for ure.. Besides this serious bug I told them I was very impressed with the Lollipop update..

I did force stop this service... let' se if it gives any impact.. but I did figure that this service has nothing to do on the L09 version...maybe it does interfere in some unwanted way..
Unfortunately it is not possible to disable this one..but I have fore stopped it now and lets see if I get any more "enter sim pin"...
Still no solution? I have read that the old nexus 5 have had a similar problem.

Zenfone 3 (ZE520KL) simple unboxing and testing

Original post from my blog: https://www.ewjy.pw/asus-zf3-unboxing-en/
Actually, some of the photos were retaken afterwards.
I bought a Asus Zenfone 3 as the new main phone several days before, the model number is ZE520KL. I was very nervous because that was the first unboxing I had ever did. The original video was cancelled due to technical problems and I used pictures instead. Alright, here are the appearances:

Time counting for the first booting:
25 seconds and 7 microseconds in total
The pictures were too many so you may visit here to view all the pictures for setting up this phone.
ZenUI home screen
Comparison of the old and new main phones (I was forced to change due to upturned screen and broken ear proximity sensor, etc.)
Performance of displaying picture
For music player, it is Google Play Music by default.
Playing tests for low and high resolution videos
480p
1080p
Photo taking tests
Without HDR
With HDR and exposure value set to -2
Lock screen
A final screenshot, did you find something weird? I am not sure whether it is a bug or it is true.
The responding speed of fingerprint module is quite fast, about 1(+/-1)s. In my opinion, it is quite cost-effective.
This is the first unboxing and testing of mine, there are many mistakes, I apologize for that.

Oops I might be misunderstood. After double checking, I found that ZE552KL has two versions with 3/4GB RAM+32/64GB ROM. The main difference between 520KL and 552KL is the screen size (5.2" for 520 and 5.5" for 552). Sorry for misleading you.

Yes, this phone supports dual SIM and dual active, but the SIM2 and the microSD card share the same slot, so you have to choose between SIM2 or microSD (i.e. you cannot insert SIM2 if you inserted microSD card).

Sorry, I may confused. After checking Asus Taiwan Store again, there is NO 3GB variant for ZE552KL. I am not sure if there is 3GB variant in other countries. Sorry for providing unclear information.

Dual Speaker mod help

Last days I was trying to do a dual speaker magisk module for this device but no luck yet, im not very experienced programmer, only an advanced user and basic programmer skills. Some help would be very appreciated or if you want try it with me. I was using these sources as base files/info to start:
K30 Pro mixer files:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15mQ5EOy1RdZVNEzfS5wiIBLxUrKHN_Gs/view?usp=sharing
Mi 10 Pro mixer files (only Xiaomi device with dual stereo audio):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wYro7lwfn1agt_fBvM5ljuANHCIZZoa9/view?usp=sharing
K20 Pro dual speaker mod source code:
https://github.com/acervenky/k20produal
DualSpeaker sound mod guide for all devices:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/mod-dual-speaker-soundmod-devices-root-t3735280
Mixer files are device audio configuration (codecs, earpieces, headphones, speakers) and we need modify it, these files are located in system/vendor/etc folder under root.
If nobody does it this week, I will give it a go next week.

I wonder if we can port dual speakers config files from new K30 Ultra and get dual speakers sound on K30 Pro, same with dtbo.img with 120hz panel settings from K30 Ultra and port it here also.

If it's enabled it's an earpiece not a speaker. You can test it yourself with some apps to route the audio to the earpiece and you'll see (or hear I guess) how low the volume is and it can't be used as a stereo speaker. Not to mention the possibility of damaging it.

With every device launched, many of them get magisk module support to enable dual speakers as Mi 9T Pro:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/themes/magisk-dual-speaker-mod-redmi-k20-pro-t3952416
And Mi 9T Pro/ k20 Pro and K30 Pro are similar devices and it can be done here also... so this thread have a purpose, stop blaming without a reason.

It's to weak.
I did some modifications to mixer_paths.xml file, but system was stucked at MIUI logo. Tested on Global ROM and Xiaomi.eu. Wherever you do, you will get this problem and you couldn't test your modified file because of this. At the slightest change of this file you will get only MIUI logo. System doesn't like changes. So, waiting for custom ROMs, where we can easily change system files.

Sure but with 9t pro it helped a lot to have dual speaker mod. Sure it didn't have the same levels but it helped with directionality etc.
For this phone is missing dual speakers and refresh rate at 120hz, also is a crazy phone!!
This two point can be resolve by the software?
I am on android beta 11!

Reading your comment from google cam thread saying bs comments like "newer is not better" when everybody with a minimal knowledge knows newer hardware is always better I see you are another troll as @Linuxkek... problem here is we dont have development compared to poco f1 or oneplus devices but dual speaker can be done by software and same with refresh rate on the screen like the Mi 9t Pro.
100% doable since my POCO already bugs out and does it anyway destroying my earpiece with an earrape effect :laugh:

newer hardware may be better on paper, but unless the software is cooked well to provide you with any meaningful benefit, it ain't better, calling people trolls because you disagree due to blatant lack of knowledge and emotional intelligence will get you places

Are you still investigating this issue? Quite interesting...
