[unclewooly]

tidy phone/tablet for the price. I can't seem to get the video feature to work in skype but everything else is ok. Does anyone know what video chat app does work on these?

[aaguayo82]

does this phone have the dual sim i want to buy this phone but i need to know that first please answer

[unclewooly]

can I install skype on this phone and use my internet sim in one slot and my phone server on the other? I don't care much for video chat I just want the audio side of things, thanks.

if anyone is dealing with taking out the battery and putting it back in, it's the wifi. the wifi is causing you to do this

@mickyd110011

Hello, I was looking at this phone - can you please clarify what do you mean by "wifi is causing you to do this?" A bug?

[mickyd110011]

@rushin2 i had this phone for a while now, and so far, the following flaws occur.

1) wifi and bluetooth will cause the phone to shut off while the phone is locked, and you will have to remove the battery, and put it back in to reset the phone.

2) IF YOU HAVE AN AT&T 3G DATA PLAN IN AMERICA, THIS PHONE IS NOT FOR YOU. they tried activating phones from foreign countries before, and failed.

@mickyd110011

Thank You for these notes - I am planning to obtain one of these to go with pre-paid Tmobile or H2O.

Not planning on bluetooth usage and engage WiFi only "on-demand."

Light in the box suggests that this phone has an 800Mhz - seems to be sufficient for Android and a few apps to run...

[ongchorcool]

does it have micro USB for charging

[mickyd110011]

@slim81013 yes

[mickyd110011]

@MyScannerLife thats what im going through!

[mickyd110011]

yes, received the phone last night, but i went to bed, and it died over night. when i plugged in the phone, it wont turn on. what do i do?

[mickyd110011]

is the phone now running android 2.3? i love android 2.2 instead.

[slim81013]

can u use one sim card

[jan3019]

[kumquatsta]

anyone with experience with this phone on t-mobile in usa? what's battery life like and where can i buy replacement batteries?

[MyScannerLife]

@kumquatsta the battery life is terrible. I received the phone yesterday, and used it minimally. The battery was 80% full when I went to bed. When I got up this morning, the phone had shut off some time during the night, because the battery had drained. Also, the battery cover is a pain to remove and put back (poor fit), and yesterday during the day the phone shut off randomly a couple of times, and the battery had to be removed to restart.

i have this mobile its great :)

[aquariankarla]

another question--when dialing /making a call on this phone, as soon as i type the phone number in and hit enter to place the call, the screen goes black and the only thing i can do is hit the button on top which disconnects the call, but it wont let me see the screen while i am on the call no matter what i hit. please help?

[aquariankarla]

I got this phone last week and I cannot figure out for the life of me how to insert and fold that MicroSD card that comes in the box, you are supposed to fold it and insert is someplace and I cant figure it out! Please help

[lightinthebox2008]

@aquariankarla Hi just slide the back case off, remove the battery and you'll find the TF card slot under the SIM2 and SIM1 slots. It's a little metal bracket, just push it to the left to unlock it and you can open it up. Place your TF card on the tray, close the flap and slide to the right to lock it. Done :)

[TheGogakis]

@aquariankarla

is this phone good i want your opinion cause i want to buy one ....

[Mmmsmo0the]

hi i just ordered that phone and was wondering where you can find sim cards and tf cards? please let me know! thanks!!!

[aquariankarla]

@Mmmsmo0the I would like to know too!

[lightinthebox2008]

@Mmmsmo0the Slide the case off and you'll see the card slots along with the battery.

[Ivynnefb]

my friend has one..i was just wondering if the home screens could be deleted just like the other android powered rivals(like samsung galaxy series)?

[lightinthebox2008]

@Ivynnefb You can change the homescreen to any image you like :)

[Ivynnefb]

@lightinthebox2008 what I mean is, there are (i rmembrd) five default homescreens in this phone, but i cant remove even just one of it..unlike for example, the galaxy ace which can add/remove homescreen whenever you like, just to add the snap out of the touch.. answers?tnx btw :)

[Lp4life4]

The most lagless phone in lightinthebox store so far and it's wasome with this price...

[samg9022]

Lol rip offs of other phones genius

[bloodcicon]

i am tempted

[ReguandeTV]

with my service it dont require a sim card. can i use this phone without a sim card?

[mickyd110011]

now this is a badass smartphone! :D

[MartErton]

It has not any drivers for XP/W7. Can not be rooted :-(.

[mickyd110011]

@MartErton check the android developer site. they might have adb driver available.

[XCVGVCX]

I'm tempted, actually. This would replace both my retardphone and my MP3 player nicely. If it was faster, running something in the gigahertz range, I would go for it.

[supermariolangbein]

i cant open the back of the fuxcking phone

[racquialeah]

@supermariolangbein I know how to open it. Need help still?

[supermariolangbein]

@racquialeah a piece of the back broke but it opens and closes now

[ElephantManV2]

Can it be rooted?
