Seems right to me. 3500mAh / 3hr = 1166mA. The charger claims 2000mA, so it seems a bit slow, but if you factor in that the battery probably has more capacity than specs (mine measures at 4300mAh), the phone uses some current when idle (depends on your battery optimization, maybe 100mA), and you are...

Leave it at 20161011. It's the best ROM version. You can, easily, upgrade to android 7,so i don't think you were tricked or anything. It seems like the new ones have problems with the buttons capacitive buttons anyway, be glad you got an old one. For $200 you have a smartphone with very decent specs...

Search for "Android meta bootloader." Basically it is a idiot proof mode so that you can't really brick your phone too easily. It is activated by pressing combination of buttons (volume down and power I think worked for me, but try different combinations) while plugging into USB. Your PC w...

You could buy 3 BV6000 for the price of the CAT S60. Of course it's not as high quality and doesn't have great service. Try another BV6000, or an Ulefone Armor or save your pennies for the CAT S60.

I recieved an error trying to flash my phone to a previous ROM and had a totally bricked phone that would not turn on at all. Android has a built in "meta" boot mode that will let you load the proper bootloader for your phone, then you can finally flash the ROM. The meta mode is activated ...

definitely be careful flashing. I bricked my phone TWICE following the above steps perfectly. I found this website extremely helpful to unbrick, specifically the "meta mode" which allowed me to reflash the bootloader. https://www.engineerthink.com/blog/2016/07/how-to-unbrick-hard-bricked-m...

Wait? Mine took a long time to unpack, eventually updated fine.

The Android Pay problem was solved with an update. I think the best update was 20161011 you should be able to find it in the ROM sections of the forum. Simply download the zip file, then go to Ota update and select local. The battery in the BV6000 is much larger than most phones (4500mAh vs 2000), s...

You can rollback to a previous version no problem. My apps didn't seem as responsive as they were so I rolled back to the preview (10-11?) which works very well for me.
