Update: The problem has been solved after flashing an updated firmware.
A few days ago I completed a review of the Elephone P2000 and mostly it was working pretty well. Unfortunately, I have to report today that the phone has partially “died”. It was left unused over the weekend, as I received other devices to play with. Today I have booted it up again and was surprised to see it prompting me with the alternative password instead of showing me the fingerprint unlock screen.
Gizchina News of the week
Entering the password got me in to the phone, but then things took a turn for the strange. Suddenly, messages started popping up that the phone was running out of memory. I checked that and to my surprise the memory was full. I removed some apps, but that did not help. This is especially strange as I had around 4GB of memory free when I shut it down before the weekend.
Next I went back to check the fingerprint reader settings. Everything was set up properly. I have tried to remove the previous settings and add them again but this unfortunately, did not work. The fingerprint reader does not recognize anything any longer. Even a re-flash of the firmware has not helped at all. So it appears to be a hardware related issue.
Of course I have no idea if this is just bad luck or if all Elephone P2000 models just have the same quality issues. Are you an Elephone P2000 owner? Have you had similar problems? Let us know!
I saw your review of this phone on Yesterday and just bought one. It’s the world’s justice kkkkkkkkkkkk
Wish you luck with it. Lets just hope I had bad luck with mine.
I want to buy one to a friend, so wait more feedback 🙂
Mine is working just fine 🙂
Good to hear that Dirk. Still did not get mine back alive. Just the memory is working again after formatting the phone in SP Flash Tool.

I have the Elephant P8 which is a great phone but the 4.4.2 update is riddled with bugs.
Seems Elephones idea of customer care is to open a forum and let purchasers of their phones try and sort out problems between them.
Not a particularly good look for any company , I’m left with the image of Elephones engineers being made up of a band of hackers and spirited amateurs.
As much as I like the phone , I just can’t see me buying their products in the future.

The fingerprint works well on mine. The internal storage was small, but I resized it. There is a thread about resizing p2000 storage on their forum. Pretty helpful:)
can you post a link please…. this is doing my head in.
Like nietjason, I too had problems with the Elephone P6. The main problem being it’s non-standard earphone socket which meant that the only earphones that fitted it were the poor ones that came with it! Several messages to Elephone about this went unanswered . Others have had problems with their other phones. They are only interested in selling you new handsets. They have no customer service. While they continue to produce what seems to be attractive and cheap phones, I definitely would avoid them.

I received my Elephone in the mail yesterday and it all worked fine except… THE PHONE function. The screen goes blank during calls and you can’t control duration or anything else for that matter. But one thing I noticed is that one side of the casing was open, therefore someone has to have been tampering with it. This is the second faulty device I have received from Minideal.net and I seriously think they are terrible at their jobs especially since I specifically asked them to test the phone before sending it.
If anyone has encountered the same problem and has worked around it, please let me know as I would have to send the phone back for a second time and wait for another two months to get a refund from Minideal.net

Was the device in any case left in an extremely hot or cold temperature? My touchscreen borked up when the device was warm, and when it’s very cold the home button starts acting up (very cold being 26 degrees Celcius)

Maybe the app “Clean Master” would help with the memory?

Although elephones are good phones I’d say a lot of have different issued , mayne copy’s one app multiple times which creates around 10 pages at homescreen and get annoying and also my sound when I have it under 3-4 marks (clicks) it doesn’t give out sound I have to do it louder overeise sound doesn’t come out
I still love the phone its really good but just not all of them are perfect , when you think about it the elephone p7000 is about to be released and I only bought my p2000 in November and it’s made a lot of phones and maybe were they rushed ?

I bought one due to the reviews, and because it was supposed to have 2 gigs of RAM. However it only lets me have maybe 25% of the number of apps I had on my previous phone (a Xiaomi, with 1 gig of RAM). You mentioned that the problem was solved after updating firmware. Where can I find details about this update?
