Use iRoot http://www.mgyun.com/m/en, installs on computer and then does everything for you

Not sure, but I was able to get root on S129 firmware. Since this phone uses MT6752, theres a good chance any software that works on a MT6752 Lollipop phone will also work for P70

P70 doesn't have an e-compass so you won't have compass functionality but turn-by-turn navigation works correctly

Haven't had any issues indoors or outdoors. I've used Google Maps navigation a few times with no problem

Yeah after the MT6592 I think they fixed the GPS. But definitely no issues at all since the 64-bit CPUs came out

For me, mainly minor problems:

1. The audio quality from the headphone jack sucks. I hear ticking and some background noise when music is playing. Also it has grilles for two speakers but in fact its only one speaker. Speaker is not bad though, quite loud

2. Camera not so good. But I have a SLR so never really been a problem for me

3. The screen has some sort of sharpening turned on so at first coming from HTC One M7 it looked a bit weird but you get used to it

I can get more than 2 days with 4.5 hours screen on time on W-Fi only. On 4G for a full work day (~10 hours) and Wi-Fi for the rest of the time, I got almost 1.75 days with 5.5 hours screen on time


I haven't tested 4G only battery life yet but I think most people should be able to get one full day of usage

K3 uses the same MT6752 chipset, so same modem. If you have problems with Wi-Fi and network on P70 then it should be the same on the K3, or any other MT6752 phone.

Some people said the reception is not as strong on P70. I haven't really noticed because my 4G and Wi-Fi is fast, at least in my country - Australia and my router haha. So I don't think it is a big problem

Melbourne. I'm on Optus network. Also using Amplify and Greenify

Probably sourced from manufacturer spec, which should be taken with bucket of salt. Should not be possible for basically the same internals to perform better on a smaller battery. Doesn't even make sense. Also they have quoted standby time - no one leaves their phone on standby for 700 hours. Plus, who the hell talks for 40 hours on the phone
