Hey Folks,
a few weeks ago by display broke so I flashed my Z2 back to stock in case of sending it to Sony / O2 Germany.
After a little search, I decided to replace the screen for myself, so I buyed a screen and all went fine.
As I was back on my daily driver (latest CrDroid), I noticed that double tap to wake was not working at all, so I tested the screen and sensors, but all work fine.
I flashed back to stock Kitkat - dt2w not working
I flashed to stock Lollipop - dt2w not working
I flashed to Mokee, CrDroid and some other ROMs with and without M5 Kernel - nothing works.
I also have no Options in Kernel Adiutor for Dt2w, the dt2w setting in all roms were checked...
The Display was named as L50w, and on the back at one of the small cables was printed: Sirius - LG Innotek.
So maybe flashing a Hong Kong based stock ROM may help - L50w is Hong Kong version?
I'm open to all ideas and experiments
*note, I'm on a mac, no chance for windows etc.
Maybe the display you bought doesn't support dt2w, just guessing
I wondering if this is display related and not software?
I'll try an app from the playstore now.
It also depends upon the kernel but then you've just replaced the display rather than altering the kernel so i guess its related to display in your case. And i may be wrong because I'm not 100% sure
Thanks for your reply, I tried several apps from the playstore wich was a big fail ... most apps are crap, some worked but the display wasn' t really in sleep.
Am I the only one with this problem?
I guess yes
I'm about to trash the phone and buy a new Z2
Any chance to find out more information about the display? All apps just showing the resolution and dpi and screen size.
Same as mine .. i think it because of the hardware
Maybe you replaced with non original screen ?
L50W is a mainland China varient, not Hong Kong.
And yes, you seem to have a wrong screen replaced.

At first i would like to say that in my opinion this 3G tablet is a very good value money.
My tablet arrived already rooted with the stock rom 20130715.V1 .
Of course there was the well known IMEI problem (but easily solved :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552197 , thks Mobeca ).
Also there was problem with the phablet's sensors.
Even though Android Sensors List detects G sensor,Magnetic field sensor,Gyroscope sensor, Proximity sensor etc , none of them seems to operate.
The only sensors which really function are the accelerometer and rotation .
So I decided to flash it with the new Ainol rom 20130910.V1 just in case the problem would be solved but no result .
Anyway here i am now with the same useless sensros sleeping inside my phablet and waiting any of you to wake them up.
I am looking forward receiving your ideas and opinions on the issue.
Hi Guys,
I am looking for a method to root the Ulefone Be touch 3.
I have some problems with the sensitivity of the screen and i need root access to modify build.prop.
If someone have a solutions
Thanks
Check this out http://www.needrom.com/download/be-touch-3-twrp/ i rooted mine with that
Many thanks
Have you some problems with sensitivity's screen ?
Like when you write a sms quickly, the screen follow ?
Be Touch 3
Hi,
I have just bought a Ulfone Be Touch 3. I'm fairly impressed with the phone so far apart from the touch screen sensitivity as you mentioned.
I'm coming from a Samsung so its really noticeable.
I have rooted my Be Touch and edited the build.prop but that hasn't made any difference to the touch screen at all.
I would just like to no if anyone has made any more progress with this issue?
You need to disable the vibrate-on-touch option to make typing smoother and more responsive.
Hi, i have tested the ulefone be touch 3, is see not much improvements compared to the touch 2.
I think the battery is the same beyond the sticker on it. The system speed feel the same, the fingerprints
is faster, battery life sucks again, it run only for 24 hour in normal use a few social media apps running in backgroud
like it have to be. and wifi on. (without simcard) and few times screen on (low br). in comparison with the touch 2, 18 hour.
System this time it's real android 5.1 (touch 2 a 5.0 not a 5.1)
So i think no ulefone anymore. The description deviates too much from reality, that ulefone presents on the website.
The big problem is the rom take to much energy and the battery is 50% to small.
Hi guys , I also have a be touch 3 , the only issue I have is the fingerprint reader will code in but then never recognises the finger to unlock, not an issue for me as I prefer pattern unlock, I find the battery much better than my last chinese phone , the mstar s700 which performed well but battery was shocking. I get a full day out of a charge which s all I expect from a budget phone , everything else is good so far ( 2 months) , Construction is good and I don't experience screen lag. Obviously any improvement tips would be useful...
Very first LK.BIN for ulefone Be Touch 3 needed
SOLVED
Hi,
I flashed my Ulefone Be Touch 3 device with Ulefone's ROM and ... big mistake : soft bricked.
The device still works except the screen : a dark blue one with no logo, no icon, etc.
From what I read, I can get screen back to normal with the very first lk.bin file but i can only find recent (and thus faulty) ROMs.
Could someone help me ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

SOLVED : there are 4 different ROMs from Ulefone for this device.
Downloaded each one (mega links so use Tor browser if you're blocked in your country) and tested them all.
Screen is now back.
Also check this for Be Touch 3 goodies :

Cheers :emoji_laughing:
Volunteers needed, really !!
Hi all,
I can see there are custom ROMs (nougat 7.1.1) for Vernee Thor and Jisatsu smartphone.
Both of them use the MTK 6753 SoC.
I can't find a single custom ROM for the Ulefone Be Touch 3, MTK 6753-based too ...
Has anyone heard sth about this ?
I think it shouldn't be that tough to build such a ROM, but I'm not able to do so, at all.
SOME VOLUNTEER ... ??
Thx in adv.
A friend of mine bought a Bluboo S1 on august.... it now has firmware V10_20170818 ... no proximity sensor working and no light sensor working... a total disaster...
Bluboo itself released on its site a firmware upgrade ( 2,2 Gb of compressed files...) called Upgrade Sensor s1 which promise, after a long procedure, to activate both sensors... they also showed the complete procedure in a youtube video, but the video itself is in chinese language so that for the rest of non chinese readers/speakers it' s very difficult to understand step by step...
Anyone of you succeeded in activting those sensors ?
As far as it concerns, we understood that bluboo released two different stock of the same phone : the first stock has firmware Vxxxxxxx (and no working sensors), the second stock has firware L-Vxxxx and sensors already working. We tried to flash firmware L_V01 on my friend's phone, but no sensor war activated by this firmware.-... it seems the only way to activate those damend sensors is to installate the "upgrade sensors S1" released by bluboo but we can not understand how to do because we think the file itself is corrupted....
Anyone can help ?
Thank you in advance
Hey,
yes, I succesfully completed all steps and verified them on my Bluboo S1 (white). I even checked that the config data was succesfully transfered to the Goodix GT 5663 chipset. However, the FW BLUBOO_S1_Helio_P25_V10_20170818 does still not give correct light or proximity sensor readings.
I wonder if the sensors start working if I installed a "BLUBOO_S1_Helio_P25_L_04_20170908" firmware. If you can advise where to get the latest firmware I'll b glad to try and explain all steps in detail.
My second S1 (black) came with that firmware and it works perfectly.
Best regards
Dr.Go
the sensors still not work either on L04 or L02
those firmwares are for the second batch of bluboo s1 which support physical sensors
Regardless I have followed the steps and installed the P25_L_V01 FW update. The sensors still give no reading. I hve looked at the small sensor window closely and came to the conslusion that - just as drgalan stated - there simpy are no physical sensors in the first batch of devices.
I really wonder why Bluboo has put that complicated update procedure on its official support forum anyway: ht:cyclops:tp://www.bluboo.hk/community/viewtopic.php?t=604 ?
What a nuisance ...
Regards,
Dr.Go
I can not believe bluboo simply forgot to install those sensors... I read somewhere else that after flashing the update sensors s1 someone , with no sensor working, used a trial apk (can not rimember if it was cpu-z or something else... I don't have this device ... ) and the sensor where detected as present but not working....
I think it finally comes down to this: The chipset Goodix GT 5663 is allways installed. It supports the multitouchpad a.s.o. so it must be there and that is why the sensor itself is detected. However, the tiny infrared/photodiode and proximity sensor is missing on some devices, presumably the first production batch. This is an epic fail and we can only speculate why that has happened. Maybe that component was sold out at that time or it was simply forgotten. Who knows? I got a ticket open with Bluboo HK but I doubt there will be any reaction.
Later I will double check if the tiny window is really empty. But, well, I think so ...
Best,
Dr.Go
I have checked very carefully with a looking glass and as a matter of fact the space below the tiny window is empty. There simply is no sensor installed though the chipset supports it. Period. At least in one of the devices I have.
hi dr.go. how u managed to upload the .cfg to the phone file with guitartest platform?
Hi all! I bought this phone and the proximity sensor seem to be working but it only register two values, either youre close or youre not. The light sensor doesn't seem to be working as there is no option for auto screen light. Althought if you install any cpu-z or program like this, it will the detect the sensor in the hardware.
I've updated with upgrade sensores s1 Andrés próximo turno sensor works bit light sensor doesn't works yet.
I think our phone doesn't hace that sensor
Guys, Should we do a mass complain with Bluboo? That and also the bloatware?
Light Sensor & VoLTE _not_ working.
I received my S1 only yesterday and the first thing I did was to upgrade to the v10 firmware. I can confirm the following:
1) Proximity sensor : Working : The display goes off when I am in a call. (This should be good enough for most ?)
2) Ambient Light Sensor : NOT Working (No sensor values in CPU-Z for light sensor)
3) VoLTE : NOT Working (Reliance JIO network is detected, data works, but calls using native phone app NOT working.)
What about the bloatware. I didn't find many, honestly...
hi.
i have a bluboo s1 black with 18.08.2017 firmware and proximity sensor not work.
where i can find the L04 firmware..and how can update?

How can i do that?????
i have bluboo S1 Helio P25 I V04 20170908 5/8/2017 Bluboo S1 4Gb Ram black
I have an early s1 can confirm there is no apature for proximity sensor next to earpiece although if you touch screen at top left with a test app it will register a reading but does not work????? Also there is NO light sensor and only one of the dual cameras work.Bad show bluboo and don't bother contacting them they ignore us all ( have tried a lot)
Oh and by the way there are Trojans in SC weather and free touch apps!!!!!

Download this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inpocketsoftware.andTest and see if your sensors working
Device check
Hi thanks for the link,tried it and as i suspected,there is NO light sensor,there is no opening where proximity sensor should be but as i said in previous post if i touch the screen just below where it should be the test goes from far to near (wtf),also with the camera test if i cover one lens with my finger you can see my finger,cover the other one and nothing,when i did audio test with supplied usbc to 3.5 i am getting sound from phone speakers and head phones, i hope this is just a faulty lead and not another device problem. I now realize why you should not buy chinese phones on presale you end up with a model that has not been fully tested which is a con as i could have bought the same phone 4 weeks later for less money and it seems with all sensor working!!!!! That said i still think bluboo should replace these devices foc (ha ha fat chance as you cant contact them) sorry for ramble but i feel cheated as others do.
Today I am returning my phone back. You must be a developer to fix all these problems.....
Hello, I have purchased Redmi Note 4 (sd 625) India via Flipkart. The same phone is also purchased by my friend via Flipkart.
But I notice variation between my and his camera and when I dig out the problem I come to the result that both phone has different camera modules.
I've a Sony imx258 back camera but he has a Samsung S5k3l8 back camera. So, I contacted some more Redmi Note 4 users and some of them have Samsung Sensor while some have sony.
So my question is while flashing any custom ROM will my camera work or not? As I think the camera blobs for both devices are different.
Note:- To view your camera sensor just go to Settings>About Phone>tap kernel version 5 times>version information.

Camera works fine for both sensors . However, the slow motion and other feature enabling tricks work only on Sony sensor.
You got lucky. Xiaomi changed the camera sensor from first Sony to Samsung and then to Omnivision. Sony is the best, Samsung is fine and Omnivision is the worst out of this three sensors.
You shouldn't get any difference if installing a custom ROM

You're right maybe I'm extra lucky cause I ordered it in the month of July and still I get Sony IMX
My friend broke his RN4 display and he's selling the phone and when I asked him, He is willing to exchange the camera sensor(He has the sony sensor whereas I've the samsung) Can I just pop out his camera sensor and plug it in into my device or things are different on the software level too?

Technically it should work because the drivers for the 3 different modules are already installed within the ROM.
What is the product number of you and your friend's device? It should be on the box (2016101 or 2016102). And would you be able to take a picture of your friend's Sony module? A lot of people on a different thread are trying to replace their Samusng/Omnivision modules with about 50% success because we don't know the exact numbers of module code of the IMX258
Thanks in advance!

Mine is 2016100 IDK his, I'll need to check. Well I'm on a Custom ROM so hope that can support it, I'll try, if it works or will revert back if that can be done
Thanks
Hey guys i bought an 7S Pro 16g version and changed from the Chinese rom to the Global one. I did it with the original Recovery and the Phone is running great besides that there just seem to be NFC options are forgotten or something. I can see it in pulldown menu but nothing happens. Anybody else got this problem or maybe even a solution?greetings
Because Chinese version of the phone doesn't have nfc in hardware
