Hm strange my phone was delivered with the G807_D1_H1_Blackview_V1.0_20140807 ROM and the touch does not work very well

But if it works 4 some one it's okay[emoji106]

S View for Crown

Yeah I got this phone to. It's very nice. One thing is... I thought it had a s-view type of function. As in... if you get a message it is shortly displayed in see-throu window in black and white if the leather-case is closed.

Was it just marketing? (see image) Or does this really look/work like this. If so, where to enable?

Hi it doesn't have s view function, but I tried a s view app developed on xda called s view by hatroid, you can search it here on xda, it works with the cover and the Crown proximity sensor. You can see missed calls, new messages notifications, incoming call but you can't take it as the cover window is not tactile, and app sometimes it doesn't work, the cover has magnet which sleep the phone when you close the cover, so unless you remove the magnet it will also close the s view while the phone go to sleep mode and screen off.

New Update from Blackview

Hello there is a new update on blackview.hk : G807_D1_H1_Blackview_V1.0_20140827.zip
With a flashing tool and method, the update fix also Blackview Crown fast battery drain.
:laugh:

 

[theoverfiend]

Battery drain.... How long is the battery life of your blackview? At less to normal use i get 15 / 16 hours
And that's very poor...

Crown battery

Battery drain.... How long is the battery life of your blackview? At less to normal use i get 15 / 16 hours
And that's very poor...

I didn't flash the update yet , i will try it tomorrow. In intensive use(most of time), my battery last for about 4 hours, yes it is very poor. Hope the update will increase it as they say. I flash your moded rom, it didn't work untill I use My Crown scatter file and after booting it shows a text in russian and freeze, I fix that after doing a factory reset. And To get CTR work I have flashed it alone without other files, now everything is ok . Great work.

that blackview.hk update has to be the most complicated I've ever seen and most is in chinese lol think I'll just carry a charger

New rom

I installed the new ROM... It was pretty easy to flash it using the description on the website. Running win7... but you do have to install drivers first. Other wise your computer does not recognize the phone. Oh, and don't forget to backup. Or you will end up with a fully resetted phone.

It looks like the battery life is increased for so far. But it a bit early to tell.

Hi how did you flash the new firmware ? It seems like the blackview flash tool doesn't work like SP Flash tool! Did you turn off the phone or you put in boot loader mode? You connect To the PC before or after clicking flash all in the tool, there is no details in blackview.hk tutorial .
Where To find the right drivers?

Where To find the right drivers?

Download and install drivers: I used this guide and download. You only need the drivers...
http://laurentiumihet.ro/sp-flash-t...installation-guide-including-bricked-devices/

- Turn phone off
- connect to computer
- install drivers as in the manual (open device manager, etc)
- disconnect phone

- unpack blackview software... follow there manual
- start all
- connect phone

You will see the status bar, if it sas checksum ok. Then it is done!
Note: when you start the phone... you see the blackview start logo for sometime.Initial start takes time... don't worry! It will work.

And i must say Battery is beter then before. But it's difficult to give a percentage...
We should do a battery test. Before and after.

Thanks I will try it.
It works.

You can use Bootup Scripts like ...

V6 Supercharger or something else ...

If u have randorm reboots just like me i would suggest installing KAK and choose Rock Kernel option

No ,more reboots at all then ...

Hey guys! I just found this phone, and I'm looking forward to buy it, but first I want to know about battery time, GPS and touchscreen issues with new firmware. Is it worth buying it? Just sold my THL 4400 and 5000, none of them convinced me.
