Elephone P8000 XDA Review

Hey folks,

I write for the XDA Portal and had the opportunity to review this device. I went in with low expectations considering the price tag of the device, but came out genuinely impressed, specifically with the battery life.

If you have any feedback or things I overlooked or factual corrections in the review, you can let me know here and I'll try to bring it to light/fix it. Thanks!

Hoping our XDA Review brings some more developers for this device as it certainly has potential.

Hey everyone!

If you want to unlock your phone's fastboot

Fortunately it’s still possible! :) Simply enter Android’s developer options and tick the “OEM unlock” option as shown here:


Reboot into fastboot and try again with

It will work this time!

P8000 brick

Hi guys

This is my first thread here, so I hope that it is in right place.
Yesterday I received my elephone p8000 but I noticed a problem which I tried to resolved by myself. When I tried to switch on the phone, there was only a dark screen with booting sound. Recovery mode doesn't work so I thought that sp flash tool help when I use format and root phone and go in some way to recovery mode. I put on memory of phone a supersu, a then I format my phone by sp flash tool. I want to upgrade it by sp flash tool but I can't because I have got some problems with usb drivers, I see some errors during processing upgrade.

I have read the topic bbs.elephone hk viewthread&tid=6616&page=5&authorid=12774#.VfDLzZf LJ6I ( I can't post a full link here as a new guy ) and I had a hope that when I install these drivers it will help me, but it doesn't work.

Probably I made a mistake because I don't know too much about android enviroment, but I have the feeling that I'm close to repair my phone by myself, I would like to try some mtk 6753 usb drivers and MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM (Android) but I can't find any on windows 7. Is there anybody who could help me? I'm sorry for my english, I tried to explain everything as good as I can.

Regards.

P8000- Battery drain while phone is off.

Hello,

I received my gold p8000 three days ago. I noticed something very strange. The Battery drains when the phone is powered off.
If I fully charge my battery and then I turn the phone off (not standby, power off!), the battery drains overnight and the next morning I cannot power on the phone, I have to plug the adapter and wait ten minutes before the phone accepts to boot :confused:
I'm on stock rom 20150815 unrooted but it happens also on 20150725.

Did anyone also notice that?
