    Old UI

    I'm DONE with the new UI firmware. my phone used to last DAYS! with old FW. and now with the newest "official" firmware, it doesnt even last a half a day, AND I DIDNT EVEN USE IT?!?!?!?! i dont freakin get it. some idiot said it was a "hardware problem" and nothing can be done with the firmware for battery drain. THAT's a Lie.

    so i really just want to go back to the old UI firmware. which one was the best? and which one is the latest? i just want to test both. Thanks.

    0.9.3.18 is the latest official with old ui.
    Meizu M8 FW Version 0.9.3.18 official

    I think this was the best fw with the old ui.
    Don't know for sure, but I can't remember bad things about it......

    Good idea. Sometimes a step back is better than three needless steps forward. Will have a look this evening if international/german keyboard works with this UI.
    And then don't wake me up until a functioning, well-oiled firmware 1.x appears...

    I'm using the old UI, too. The newUI Firmware don't even hold a day without plugging it into my pc to charge. The only thing i'm missing in the old ui is the Downloadmanager.

    Maybe it's not onley the new UI..
    I can hold up to 3 days when i use the phone normal (calling around 10 minutes a day, sending 20 text messagesa day, and checking the time several times a day)

    When I use the phone as navagator (Bluetooth on, Route66 running) the batery will only last a day.

    So how intense do you use the phone?

    What firmware are you using? It would be helpful to put your firmware in your .sig so everyone can tell where you are.
    fw 0.9.3.9 for now
