This phone seems to have many problems.. - Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers

I just ordered the P9000, and ive been search around for several websites and see that the sound is horrible, camera app needs improvement, gps takes very long to detect and fingerprint works when it wants to.. Does it malfunction very easily? Ive also read that the HW stops working very fast in just a matter of months is this true? I hope its still worth it.. Also, sound seems that it can be improved with custom roms, does it also improve fingerprint scanner and camera?

Most of this is limitations with the HW/chipset afaik. But I haven't tried any custom roms.
I'd say it's a cheap phone that offers solid value. I actually like the P9000 a lot, but my expectations were never high. It does the job for me.

alright thanks, i bought this phone but theres just one more thing i would like to know? when receiving a call is the sound loud?

No, the sound while calling is pretty good and not to loud.
Three fingerprint scanner is working good if you use a case (so your finger is in the middle of the scanner) and you scan your finger multiple times while setting it up.
The only big downside is navigation. Is you use Google Maps the GPS is causing you to warp from street to street. Often some back alley due to bad GPS reception.

also whats up with the problem that many people seem to be having? factory reset issues and accessing to recovery? is it because partition tablet changes with nougat? Im thinking as soon as i get this device and play around with it and do a readback backup of all partitions ill try to port some roms, ive ported many roms to one other device i had but it broke.. just gotta look for phones with same cpu

I have a couple of problems with the phone. The most are connection issues. Bluetooth, Wifi, NFC and Fingerprint sensor are never working really correctly.
And today this happened:

I just had it in my pocket while sitting down. It feels like having an iPhone 6, but way worse. So I will replace the phone soon.

Which Display Typ is in your Phone ? The original LCM 13752A or a TDOBD0546 - Version
*#*#33#*#* - Single Test - RF Calibration - LCM ??

kaisims - Re your bent phone, why do you keep it in a pocket where this is GOING to happen or at least stress it beyond reasonable tolerance when sat on? Trouser and jacket pockets pockets are notorious for damaging phones and/or dropping them onto the floor. I would not blame the phone too much
I have never had any of the problems with my P9000 (factory with factory updates) that you have experienced, so far for me, it is a great phone.

Elephone P9000 and Elephone P8000 are great phones, I am using both of them.
No any issues so far.

Got mine back from RMA today...

So far so good. I actually turned on my bluetooth radio and my wifi speeds were the same. First time I've seen this happen on multiple tablets. I also switched from the gray to the other color champagne. I actually like this lighter color better, but it will be in a case anyway. So far so good. No bleed, no dead pixels. I don't care about the GPS, but I ran that GPS test software anyway. Inside I connected to 8 birds in about 10 seconds or less. That is also something I never had. By the way, this is a C2 serial. The only thing I was told by Asus was this tablet was specifically tested and used prior to me getting it. I can tell it was, a couple small finger prints and a charged battery. So far so good, I hope it lasts!

Do you have a bluetooth speaker, or something to pair it to and transfer data while trying your speedtests?
Mine will be going in for this in the near future and I want to know that it does actually work on some units.
I can turn on bluetooth, and even pair it without really any change in wifi performance. As soon as you transmit to a speaker though it plummets to 400k or less.
Thats awesome. Got mine back last Friday still cant use wifi and bloothooth together and no GPS. C10 was shipped.
Got my tested one back from them and it had major dust and dead pixels from them... They didn't remove that plastic cover when they tested...
Gps worked good indoors on par with my EVO 3d
WiFi was decent
I don't use Bluetooth
But I am returning for a refund both tablet and dock to asus gonna get me a snapdragon tablet instead or maybe a ps vita idk yet maybe just an ultrabook
To much to choose from....
Idk if a tablet is really needed for me... A new phone would do it... Sprint needs to hurry up and release something!

Lol I remember you going crazy for this tablet before release. Too bad they returned you a bad unit. But hey, now you know tablets aren't right for you yet.
I'm glad I didn't jump on the evo3d (after loving the evo 4g)...I ended up waiting and getting the sgs2e4gt and couldn't be happier. So if you REALLY need a new phone, maybe get that one lol

my rma status finally changed to repairing after a month. I did call them the day before. Maybe they figured they should start working on it.

I sent them a nasty email complaining about the "waiting to Repair" status and in 3 hours they had a new serial number ready to ship...should be here tomorrow, within 48 hours of my email being sent, so complaining seems to motivate them.
I had a BCOK but they are sending me a C2O, hopefully it works well.

6.0.1 update

Just received OTA update here in Belgium (build MEC23G) and aside of the new gestures (wich are quite nice) and other small modifications...they seems to have fixed the ugly always on mode!!
Now, the always on mode looks like the dim settings in the watchfaces making apps (seems like they finally agreed to disable the low bit ambient mode)
Edit: adding some screenshots (made with the wear app):

EDIT 2: about battery life; watch fully charged, put off the charger at 12, moderate use with notifications on, wifi on, always on mode on and wrist activation on, still 42% at 2am (14h later so). Not bad for myself, but can't really tell if worse or better than previous firmware (the watch was a birthday present, got it only since 28th of january)
And as for the lags, all clear also until now.
Waiting for it in Italy!!! How about battery life and lags?

The reason I can't wait is that we have waited long enough to get the Huawei Watch speaker working
I really appreciate the update, OP.
I might sell my Huawei to buy another 360. I sold my v2 when the ambient mode looked like ass.
I bump my damn Huawei on everything, it's just not nearly designed as well as the 360.

Already been confirmed by various teardownd, and even by motorola that the 360 doesn't have speaker. The hole under the mic is only a lip for removing the back of the watch.
And as i said before, nothing in the menus either about the presence of speaker support (but but not really a surprise, as the watch isn't supposed to carry one)

Clearly know what you mean, i was really disapointed too by ambient mode before update (even thought i had a defective unit at first, then checked online and realise it was a "feature" :/ )
In Germany here still no OTA. Does someone know if there is a way to force it?

S10 - Official Android 10 camera bugs?

Just get my S10 U1 updated to Android 10 - OneUI 2.0 a few hours ago. Playing around with it and I start to notice something really weird, and annoying.
Everytime I turn on the camera app, and switch between modes in the Camera apps. I hear the "click click" sounds. And after paying close attention I found out that was a aperture shutter. It keeps changing from 2.4 to 1.5 and reset itself.
And if you swiping around the modes in the camera app you will continuously hear the main camera keeps doing this.
Am I the only one having this?
And if it was done by purpose, I'm afraid the the camera will break in a near future. AND why the hell they did this?
Pretty sure this is normal.
I have always heard the faint clicking, it's faint but it's always been there. I doubt they did anything software wise that's going to break the camera.

OMG, I really didn't notice it. But last night, I was in a very quiet room and tried to play around with camera night mode, and I noticed this.
And since I notice this clicky sound, I start to hear it every time now, even in the normal and louder environment.... I guess once you notice this, it will become clearer ....

It's much louder on the S10+.
I don't notice it on my S9 unless it's too close to my ear, but on my cousin's S10+, I can hear it even if I'm holding it normally.
Anyways, it's a normal behaviour and I don't think it will break the camera.

Question Terrible finger print sensitivity with screen protector

Hi all,
Anyone having much luck with the finger print reader? Setting it up works like a charm but actually unlocking the devices 9 out of 10 times! End up having to enter the PIN instead. Just keeps saying that it's not recognised. I've tried a few fingers but really it would only be my thumbs that use it, even deleted them all and started again. I do have a Spigen screen protector on but I have that on when setting them up in the first place which like I said works OK.
Thanks

I've seen it recommended on other devices to add the same fingerprint several times (instead of fingers 1 + 2 + 3 just add the same finger/thumb for both), might be worth a try here too?

I didn't find it too bad to start with. If anything better than my P30 Pro which also has an under screen sensor. Since putting a screen protector on (also Spigen glass) its become unusable at you describe

Urgh, that's not a good sign. It was strange that setting it work OK
There's also a screen sensitivity setting to increase sensitivity when using a screen protector (can't remember where I found that) sadly it didn't improve things. I'll try the multiple same finger enrollment and let you know if that improves thinks for me

Right, I've turned that sensitivity thing on and added the same thumb 4 times (you can only add 5 fingers) and whilst it's not perfect it does seem better, probably works 3 out of 5 tries now.

It seemed to improve things for me ONCE. Then back to really not working at all. Grrr
It's even worse when trying to use your finger to unlock apps like WhatsApp.
I'm close to pulling it off
I changed the thread title as I took the screen protector off and it works perfectly. Contacted Spigen so hopefully they'll come back to me
I think the FPS is not great even without a screen protector. I am very disappoined, it all feels very 2018.
Hoping (but not confident) it can improve with software updates.

It's a known problem that screen protectors make life with an optical fingerprint scanner troublesome. There is a reason why many of us Pixel fans were stoked and happy that Google went with a decent 3D Facescan like Apple on the P4, a system that just works and one that is actually reliable. It never shut down on me, even though I had to clear the topside portion probably ~10 times in 2 years because it had trouble scanning me (because of dirt on the screen). Only "real" problem are... masks of course. Faceunlock and masks don't go well. That is why...
Imagine the Pixel 6 with face unlock AND a back-side fingerprint scanner.
That would be my dream.
It will probably remain a dream.
I've got the same problem, but my right thumb works perfectly every time. My left thumb just refuses to unlock the phone.
Guess right thumb it is...
Edit: Actually, mine seems to have settled down and now works with both thumbs equally well.

Mine will be coming in soon (Nov.10). I was wondering if anyone here has used the Oneplus 6T. I used to have that phone and for me the fp scanner was pretty reliable and quick enough, even with screen protectors. Only time there were issues was before rom developers had came up with better way of implementing it n custom roms, but after the new implementation it became faster than stock was on that phone. I also remember changing the color of the light had an effect on how well it read my finger. Green light was best, white was second best and the blue light was last in my usage.

I have the 6T and am getting my pixel 6 tomorrow (10/28). I'm curious to see the difference. I remember those initial issues in custom rom development.
Add your fingerprint twice. Pretty sure I read that resolved issues elsewhere as with previous Android phones.

Question Double Tap To Wake Inconsistent, Anyone else?

Anyone have a fix for this? It works about 5 times out of 10, very frustrating.
Is power management active? Just a guess.
It seems to be a common Sony problem.
Maybe it's just technique, see link.
I'd kill if I didn't have 2X tap on/off... it's so useful.
I also use the the Double Tap app on my N10+'s.
May not work on 11 and 12.

works here just fine. Would not say 100% but it has more to do with my inconsistent tapping than with the device. Was the same on XZ2.
Thank you for this.

See if the option is there. Gookill has made a mess of Android.
I would like to use it but there is issue eith it. Often it gets double tapped in my pocket and random things is touched sometimes im calling to someone from my pocket. By the way block random touch in pocket feature is turned on.

Not sure with Sony, Samsung's have a couple features to mitigate this.
Place with display facing away from your skin.
Place in pocket by the sides not the display.
Use a case with slightly raised guards on the sides.
non of that will help. I can confirm this. Also, the same was happening on my XZ2. I would fine the phone warm just to realize that it did who knows what.
What helped in my case was pattern lock. But that greatly ruined my experience because I usually don't use any locks on my devices. On mark IV i can't get my music player to be always present on lock screen, only if it is playing, which was the main reason why I used that, turned that off. AOD as such is ggod enough option for me.

The display will not activate unless touched, it's that simple. Dry cloth has no effect.
but many other things that get in contact through the cloth have. Zippers, keys, hands, wet cloths, poles in public transport........Yeah. it should not be happening but it did happened waaaaaay to many times to be just a coincidence.

You need to sort it out. This isn't rocket science.
Water should never come in contact with the phone even if ip68 rated.I keep the N10+ in my bdu pant thigh cargo pocket by itself facing outward. Sometimes vest pocket.
It also is in a Zizo Bolt case. I have little accidental turn ons.
Been using it like this for 3 years.
Samsung's have a system app that help block accidental touches if it senses random hits it requires a swipe to turn on the display. There may be a similar app on Playstore.
so does have a SONY. And it is not something that happens 37x per day but it happened enough times on XZ2 and a few times on 1 IV to make me realize that it can happen.
yup. turned off accidental touch in pocket setting to see if it helps

Happens occasionally to me but it's always my fault when or how I place it in my pocket. In 3 years of heavy usage the accidental turn on's never caused any system or app damage. Cargo pockets are ideal, I use bdu's with button closure; the rearward one buttoned, the forward one unbuttoned. It never falls out even when running.
Easy to access and a relatively safe storage area.
A well designed case helps a lot with this issue especially with curved displays. They case should have side guards slightly higher than the display, end guards even higher. Helps prevent damage in face plant drops too.
Double tap works fine for me I've had my phone for a week now.
