Just got my second hand P8 from eBay. Someone told me the camera functions will not be working properly if I upgrade from 3.1 to 4.5 . Is this true ?
Please kindly advise.

You mean from EMUI 3.1( Lollipop) to EMUI 4.0( Marshmallow)?. EMUI 4.0 is way better in all aspects especially the camera which you get to have a manual mode. So go a head and update and don't listen to that someone.
battery is considerably worse for me on android 6/emui 4.0, if i were to be more precise i'd say about 30% worse compared to android 5/emui 3.1, the new emui fixed some bugs and introduced others, the UI is however a lot smoother on the new emui, transitions are a pleasure to look at, i rolled back to 5 though, battery life is most important to me
thanks for your feedback and I will stick around with Android Version 5

Battery is not worse!
battery is noticable better in marshmallow, overall experience is smoother and faster, but im pissed of about music pausing when screen locked, it just hibernate stock or any music player even if i allowed it in battery optimalization, Huawei never again
b317 has bad battery life and it's a bit slower
i just updated to b321, it's way better,good battery life,it feels faster.
http://imgur.com/l5KWKvQ - from ~75% to 30% 2h41min SOT with auto brightness,wi-fi and cellular data always on,sometimes even location services and a bit of gaming....on b317 i was doing ~2h30min from 100% to 10% and i was trying hard to do this.
In Antutu i get 49915 on b321,on b317 i did ~25k

This is a bug i think with the current marshmallow rom, use Light Manger app for the apps that you don't get notification for or for all apps.

It depends on you, i personally like Marshmallow everything works fine and better than Lollipop in all aspects, regarding the led notification you can try the app i suggested earlier, also the camera app is better on Marshmallow especially with the pro mode.

Hello together,
my Elephone S7 arrived yesterday and iam very happy with it except the touch behavior. As many Elephones before my S7 has also the pixel-skipping problem. The touchscreen is very inaccurate and when you scroll slowly there will be continuously micro stuttering and pixel-skipping.
My Phoneversion: Black / 4Gb / 64Gb - Firmware: Elephone_S7_97_20161123
The Elephone P6000 had the same kind of touch behavoir problem. It could be solved with a software-fix. (TP-Fix)
Link to the guy who fixed it: http://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2377#.WD6BWYVFyUn
May somebody is able to locate the problem on S7 and write a similar fix. I hope there is no hardware limitation.
so far.
I have the same S7 model & firmware, but have not noticed the issue you mention.
Seems fairly usable and could not see noticable stuttering..
I have removed the screen protector though, maybe its a factor ?
If you have a look at the following post I think this issue has/is being addressed in a future firmware update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69783518&postcount=30
I dont say that the device is unusable but the stuttering on slow and short scrolling is still there. Especially when you adjust an slider or anything Else.
As reported in the opening post Iam on the lastet firmware 20161123.

Apologies, I should of read your post more clearly.
Let's hope this issue is addressed in a future update. I presume you contacted Elephone directly about your issue?
No problem i will contact elephone directly with detailed failure description.
I reply a report when i get some infos from the vendor.

Thanks for the update
What kind of improvements had you noticed with the new update?
Version number: Elephone_S7_97_20161203
Version size: 960.61 MB
Release date: 2016-12-5
1. Enhanced the camera effect
2. Improved Fingerprint algorithm
3. Enhanced the system performance, improved the fluency of the system

5.Add real-time internet speed on status bar
Me also updated today
Thanks for the info Lars
Good to see Elephone are constantly working on improving things, hope this continues until things are perfect.
I recall reading that Elephone will keep providing firmware updates for 1 year after the devices release date, let's hope they keep this promise. Also looking forward to Android 7.X although probably won't be for a while yet.

Hi
Yeah they have a super service Elephone ,just press icon on homescreen and write a suggestion or quistion or use link to official forum that contains official rom's and users own custom rom .. Pretty cool ..
By the way ,runs like a charm with latest update.
Very fast and so good it's camera..
Bricked it yesterday when rooting it this 6.0 is tricky but im pretty stubborn ...
Well now i has a new kernel update .. Looking forward to next update so i can have my smooth running phone back ..
Hey guys. I received my s7 yesterday. Out of the box I immediately did an update to 1212 Firmware via OTA. For me the pixel skipping bug is still here and for me this is pretty annoying!
Checking with MTK Engineering mode you can see that your finger movement is only recognised every 15-25 pixels.-no matter if you move in x direction or in y direction.
Do you think this can be really fixed by a Software Update? If this is hardware related I will immediately send back this thing!
It's not the only bug. Touch seems laggy in general. There seem to be a lot more. e.g. GPS, SIM 1 deactivation while connecting to car stereo via Bluetooth and so on.
I"m pretty disappointed by the s7 right now....
elephone s7 touch problem
youtu.be/WvHqSy3kIoM
Yes same problem !
It's a shame. I did have the same problem on my Nook color tablet, a touch driver firmware fixed the thing.
---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------
I hope Elephon is on the verge to fix this.
Hi everyone !
I did receive a new update firmware, a small one (83 MB) from the 01/09 and it fixed the laggy screentouch problem ! It's now perfectly smooth, at pixel scale ! Great news !!
Hi MO5.COM, thanks for the good news. I cant wait to update to newest version. Still waiting for it because the buildtin OTA update agent actual offers me no update.
Gesendet von meinem S7 mit Tapatalk
If someone knows where it downloads the new firmware (i tried to find it, no success) i can download it here !
Something strange, i needed to format the smartphone as new with the 20161219 firmware and not log into Google to apply this new small one. A bit strange.
Hello there. Im new to this forum. Im using a A3 2016 galaxy model. I was running 6.0.1. I decided to update to 7.0 via Odin because this update hasnt released in my country. It was all good. The keyboard was fast and responsive. After a minute was unresponisve. i mean i was typing sthng fast and in the end only the half word was done! i googled this and found a lot of threads about this in nougat . After that i saw unresponsive pitch zoom in gallery. But when i lock and unlocked the screen zoom and keyboard lag was gone. i think its general unresponsive(not only in keyboard and zoom). I decide to downgrade back to 6.0.1 . Faster than nougat of course. But all of the sudden the probem was still there!!! Now im writing to help me out guys. I have some thinks in my mind:
1.Is Odin s fault?
2.I moved on to my village that temp is 40 celsius. Is the temp ?or the temperd glass became unresponsive cause of that hot weather? So its tempered glass fault ?
3. Is a hardware s problem? (i dont think so because all was good before *as i remember* )
Its just a temporary issue and will go away by the time ?
Note ! I wiped the cache and data 3 times at least!!!
Sorry for my bad English .

Same situation I thought is the fault of hardware not enought performant on some situation, the ram isn't suffisant to use two application on the same time, I find that nougat is more laggy than marshmallow but when nougat lag the phone freeze and with marshmallow it was more time to response probably du by too much information waiting ... Can you say me when you get thoses issues to may or may not confirm my theory
The stock keyboard is also very laggy on my A310f using any Samsung based Nougat ROM.
I generally use the standalone Touchtype Swiftkey, which is just head and shoulders above any other KB I've found, and which you can make almost identical(but better) via theming, if you really must have the look of the S-Keyboard. I'm also so used to the Swiftkey symbol/key layout and find it much faster and intuitive to type with in general.
I haven't found any other lag issues with Nougat on Samsung ROMs, other than keyboard input.

Yes it is. Some users report minor issues. But overall its stable build.
P.S. i havent heard the hissing sound. Tried few good enough headphones no hissing sound but just to be safe i completely avoid confronting it with Bluetooth headphones

From professional point of view:
When is it advisable to install anything with release number #.0.0?
First releases are close to always known to include some wrinkles that needs to be ironed out...
Personal point of view:
What a heck, it's a phone. Just go for it!

What about the issues?
Bluetooth battery drain, Partial "do not disturb" tile, no fingerprint gestures, slow camera app, decreased battery life, 4G and Wifi connectivity problems, App crashes and reboots?
Also, is Pictire in Picture working? I know YouTube app requires a Red subscription and many people aren't aware of that, but are others such as Google Maps navigation etc. working with PiP?
Can someone please post their battery stats?

my device just received an oreo download package this afternoon on Januari 3rd 2018
-never used bluetooth (nor will I ever turned bluetooth or wifi ALWAYS ON)
-finger prints just fine
-camera app is also fine
-battery life.. as for the moment being, from what I gather it's not that different compared when on nougat with december patch
-4G just awesome
-no app crashes nor reboot (at the moment)
so if you're in doubt, then don't download the oreo update.. waiting for a later time frame, maybe
if you're confident, then do it

Go for it. There is bug in oreo that it show worng battery consumption. Its random behaviour on different phone. In some mobile Bluetooth draining battery in some RCS and in some other. Actually it is bug in battery statistics not in power consumption. Overall battery life increased in oreo ...
I easily get 6:30+ SOT :good:
No more force close issue for me. The gesture is removed by Google in AOSP so we never get it in OREO. Camera is still slowwww. No 4G or wifi connectivity issue.. And PIP is working in modded youtube perfectly and in vlc ( I don't try other app).
Overall worthy to upgrade..
Srry for bad English and writing

ok, I have installed Oreo and I am satisfied, I have not had any serious problems yet, it feels fluid and better than expected that everything I have read. Thanks for the opinions of all, hopefully new patches solve the problems.!!
Everything is fine. But my phone randomly rebooted once. Not sure why. It was like a soft reboot. It was quick. Other than that, Outlook app crushes. Not sure it's the problem of the rom or the app itself.
Battery life is amazing as before.
I would wait.
There are serious bugs and rendering issues and lots of app compatibility problems. Also slower 4g and ghost notification.
In hindsight I would have waited but curiosity got the better of me!
This is not a stable release.
It looks like many of "issues" reported are happening to users who forced the Oreo update by clearing Google Framework data.
Any idea when will the Oreo update be re released?
Running Oreo since weeks. No issues here . I did a factory reset after upgrading to Oreo. . Since weeks its runs fine... Very happy with Oreo

I'd say yes. Fingerprint ID is definitely there on my phone. Quick charge is a bit harder to measure. It's not charging as fast as it used to do but that can be explained by higher than usual ambient temperatures this summer. It's still reasonably fast though.
Ok then its just me
No fingerprint ID
and also the smart cover doesn't work when opening it
it will not turn the screen on
Even with the right settings
For me fingerprint is on the phone however with quick charge it is a bit slower but this may be due to new features eating up battery.

Fingerprint ID and smart cover working fine for me and on my wife's phone - both on 8.0.0.363
Fingerprint and quick change running fine here.
Although,
I noticed that notifications are now not "scrollable" in the lockscreen, therefore i can't reply from the lockscreen and i have to unlock the phone which is really inconvenient.
This used to work in 7.1. I've tried stock lockscreen and "themed" ones.
Anyone else?
I am running stock 8.0.0.363(c432) on WAS-LX1A.

louis.. you have the point exactly..... there seems to be no rom that makes the fone work relaiably, i dont care about features animation whatever, but fone bluetooth etc has to work reliably. "battery drains when fone off " so so so bad the rom cant be used like this. Ive bought 2 new 5g fones recently, the note 4 is way easier to use cause things like big led alert light. The latest missed message alert using aod on xiomi on many models only gives notification for 10 mins !! and 3rd party apps break on updates. please let me know and provide link if you find a note 4 snapdragon trite rom that makes the fone work reliably, and runs around android 9 so that modern apps like my soundbar setup will work.

louis, just so i understand, what exactly is the problem with getting a reliable stable rom, has something changed since android 9 aand 10 released, or did they never work properly? and is this a general rom problem, or is the 910f snapdragon difficult in some way? .. so if i load a custom rom onto my samsung ace 4 willi have the same problems, As said, for £150 can buy fab new 5g fone, but no permenant missed message alert led some no 3.5 jack , sd storage, infra red and of course removable battery. The most annoying is no PERMENANT missed message alert. Its difficult to find out if a particular fone have this or not from the helplines. (For others, the latest mi 11 lite 5g is max 10 mins aod, "permenant" does not exist on the settings menu. and 3rd party apps break on updates )
Actually, I am no expert so I don't what issues are there with new roms, but indeed they are not usable on a daily basis.
