To those who are unaware, the BV5000 has been advertised at official Blackview as having 1900 WCDMA, however the screenshot and tests by Twotems shows this to be impossible. Or at least impossible for the unit he received with the software it's currently on.

I have one and used it in the bath and bubbles came out and it broke.
Touchscreen unusable under water anyway.
Most annoying thing besides being crap is NO NOTIFICATION LED!
Feels solid, nice screen, good battery but also a bit too heavy.
Still acceptable for the price, just not the lack of being waterproof.
I'll go for a Lenovo next time if they make another good phone like the A660 or the S750 that ARE waterproof.

cheers

I'm betting you didn't put the screws in. No such issues in the pool with mine. A notification led would be nice perhaps but I can live without it. I find myself reaching for it more often than my Zenfone lately because it's actually a pleasure to use especially as I don't even have to think about the battery life.

I will probably not post it here, because the thread initiator Twotems is being offensive for no reason and don't go well with that. pm me and I will share the link when I get it done.
Probably someone else will beat me to it.

You would be a saviour! I'll be there, with my own unit, to test it if you manage to do it (seems not so easy, as auto-port tools fail to deal with the stock recovery...) and you could always share it on needrom.com , of course

When done, share your Paypal so that I could show you my gratitude with a little bit more than words! ^_^

Cheers!

Thanks Nexus Trix.

This battery is truly impressive. I'm still a fan of the thl but the efficiency of this soc and Blackview's rom is superb. I'm going to leave on the shower floor whilst I'm bathing tomorrow (Macrules, please note the grammatical structure of the English. i.e."bathing"). This is a damn good phone regardless of whatever.
