Hi I need a dualsim smartphone for when I'm abroad travelling. My question is if both sim slots support the data transfer. For example my original sim is a german vodafone with flatrate, but when I go to france, for example, I buy a french sim card to put in the second slot. If I want to on internet, can I choose between the two cards?

[SchlumpfiHB]

@rickywine Kind of ;-) You can use both sim cards for data transfer but only ONE of the simslots supports 3G (UMTS). So, if you use data transfer on the sim card card that is in the "slow" slot, the maximum transfer rate is EDGE. Hope that makes sense?

[hasithachat]

I got this phone , how ling does it take to connect to a gps , mine takes forever

[noelleonborg]

Back camera is not 8mp it is 3.2 as on other adds, Fastcardteck are not telling the real specs, and contacting them is real slow response. beside 3d shell and omega are not installed as they promise, they sent 3d shell to me after i install it ask for payment, so i got it from Android market for 11 euros, nice phone good resolution but you make this add cause they pay you depending on how many hits you get, but honesty is the best policy.

[hasithachat]

Do you know where to get any custom roms for this phone , the current rom sucks

[SchlumpfiHB]

@hasithachat I think I've seen some on a Russian forum. Google for

forum china iphone

[dboymax1]

I live in Canada and have Rogers prepaid cell but would like to get this phone since dont want to spend $500-600 on new smartphone? Would there be any issues with this cell?

[SchlumpfiHB]

@dboymax1 I don't think that's a problem, this phone is totally unlocked and free to use with any sim card. At least over here in Germany I can use it with any sim card from any provider I want :-)

[dboymax1]

@SchlumpfiHB I'm interested since an online dealer I deal with is selling it on sale. Other "brand name" smartphones (ie. Samsung, HTC, etc) asking $400-$500 with similar features.

[dboymax1]

@SchlumpfiHB Would like to know since you have it if this is a reliable phone like the brand names? I'm tempted to get one..

[SchlumpfiHB]

@dboymax1 It's hard to say, I think it is a good phone but of course you can't expect it to be the same quality as $500 phone. The main reason why people buy these phones is the dual sim feature, most brand name phones don't have that. If dual sim is not important to you, I think you might be better off buying a used brand name phone.

[mrtruly247]

@SchlumpfiHB: Where are you from? :)

[GoldenShip24]

For an imitation it looks pretty good...

[alest99]

what is that for a shit

i have the original (arc)

[DeineMuddaIsNeHure]

kann man damit auch hardcore pornos anschauen? :S

[SchlumpfiHB]

@Phorate 2 point multitouch for sure, some tests even tell me 3(?!?). And I can't tell you who has this phone is stock right now, they have holdidays in China right now.

[hasithachat]

@Phorate Dealextreme has it on stock dx . com ,

[Blackgreen96]

@SchlumpfiHB i really like this phone..and i decided to buy it ..but i just worried about where i can download this phone software..and the application for this phone..

[SchlumpfiHB]

@Blackgreen96 The phone has Android Market access :-)

[crxtech1]

And with bulgarian !?

[rg4rg5rtgththth]

Can you please update a video taken from this camera thanks a bunch , i already saw the pic

[CKai94]

Haha i like the original Arc Love the CAMERA!!!! CMOS SENSOR! haha but this is a cool phone for nearly 1/5 the price. It's seems like quite a fast phone but when you flick through the first launcher seems a little laggy, Is the overall User Experience quick? :DD thanks for replying!

[SchlumpfiHB]

@CKai94 The DEFAULT launcher is a nightmare, totally unusable! But with Launcher Pro or SPB Shell 3D I think it performes pretty well :-)

[CKai94]

@SchlumpfiHB Ever gotten your hands on the Sensation XE clone from lovebargaining(dot)com?

[hasithachat]

Can you tell me the difference between this phone and hd7000

[browzy2000]

@SchlumpfiHB hey, i heared the camera is 3.2 mega pixels

[browzy2000]

@SchlumpfiHB thank you colonel zap! I love your videos i think i will now buy the t9292

[CKai94]

Hello Colonel Zap(Haha), could you do a review of this phone's camera? I'm really curious. Just upload a video taken using this phone and some pics?? PLEASE! Much appreciated Thanks!!!!

[SchlumpfiHB]

@CKai94 I already uploaded a pictures, see the video's description. The video quality probably sucks even worse, it usually does on all these Chinese phones.

[CKai94]

@SchlumpfiHB Haha cool. The quality is quite good for me XD. Do a quadrant benchmark test? Thanks for the quick reply!

[SchlumpfiHB]

@CKai94 I put another link in the description, check it out.

[CKai94]

@SchlumpfiHB oh close to Galaxy S. Try running it twice, heard the second run will yield better results. :D Does is lag a lot? And would you recommend it?

[SchlumpfiHB]

@CKai94 The benchmark results won't get much better than this. I think it's a nice phone, I don't know if I should recommend it, that's why I am doing these videos so people can see for themselves how good or bad it performs. I like the phone :-)

[browzy2000]

@SchlumpfiHB do these phones support hsdpa?

[SchlumpfiHB]

@browzy2000 I think so. When surfing, it shows me a "H" in the status bar and things load very fast.

[browzy2000]

So what are the main differences between real and clone.? @SchlumpfiHB

[SchlumpfiHB]

@browzy2000 The originals have better performances, better build quality, better support and a higher price of course. The clones are cheaper but the main reason to buy a clone is the fact that they support DUALSIM! That is something the originals do not have. If you don't need a dualsim phone, you are better off buying a used original phone.

[browzy2000]

@SchlumpfiHB are they both high quality phones?

[SchlumpfiHB]

@browzy2000 Well, they are fine but please don't think you'll be getting a quality of 600 Dollar phone!

[browzy2000]

Do you know of a 4.3 inch screen with 8pm which has an amazing screen?

[browzy2000]

Which has a better screen???

[SchlumpfiHB]

@browzy2000 I don't have the t9292 anymore, so I can't compare them directly. I have the FEELING that the x18i has the besser Display, as far as I can remember the t9292.

[browzy2000]

Please which should i buy @SchlumpfiHB ? This or the hd7 t9292?? Which is better

[SchlumpfiHB]

@browzy2000 I really can't tell you?!? I think they are both good phones, this one is less expensive, right? But on this one I can't get the proximity sensor to work. It's up to you to decide :-)

[hasithachat]

Can you please test the camera of this phone , take photo or a video from the camera of the phone and upload it

[SchlumpfiHB]

@hasithachat Check out the video's description.

[browzy2000]

Hey which is better? The t9292 or thid phone?

[Drivman]

Bekomm ich das Handy als langer Abonnent geschenkt ? :D:D:D:D haha

[bass9398]

And does anyone know why fastcardtech, got 2 similar phone? X18i_Pro and X18i_Arc_S? Whats the differences?

[bass9398]

Does it have Proximity Sensor? Will screen and keypad turn off when phone is held up to face?

[SchlumpfiHB]

@bass9398 No, it does NOT. Or maybe it does have the sensor and the current firmware does not support it? I don't know but at least on MY phone it's not turning off the screen.

[bass9398]

@SchlumpfiHB Thanks for info. Maybe their other model "X18i_Pro" has proximity sensor.

Too bad Whatsapp is not supported, why, how can they not support the very popular Whatsapp, its a major deal-breaker.

[morenocos]

I have bougth this phone. It have a very big problem. It is NOT compatible with a lot app of comunication for example whatsapp,viber,walkie-talkie..­.

I hope that the provider public an update, but today is not possible install it.

[bass9398]

@morenocos Is there a support site for this phone that we can check if and when Whatsapp Messenger is supported. I still don't understand why their Android 2.3.4 is so different that it can't support Whatsapp. Very serious negative point stopping me from buying.

[hasithachat]

One last question does this support earphones with control talk, so you can change songs

[SchlumpfiHB]

@hasithachat No clue, I don't have earphones like that.

[DomNickles]

Xperia cases fit it, the original phone is 0.04109 of an inch smaller not that different, fits snug all buttons an cameras in position

[SchlumpfiHB]

@DomNickles Cool, thanks to the info :-)

[DomNickles]

What cases fit this, fastcardtech doesnt have cases for it?

[SchlumpfiHB]

@DomNickles Sorry, I have no idea. I'm just using a "universal" pouch that I once bought for my Samsung Galaxy i9000.

[DomNickles]

I'm reading on a lot of forums about this phone not having full market access because of the fact that it's not registered with google, can you please confirm that you can purchase paid apps from the GOOGLE market, if I don't have market access then that a deal breaker.

[SchlumpfiHB]

@DomNickles I was able to buy apps from the google market :-)

[hasithachat]

Does this have a vibration motor thanks

[SchlumpfiHB]

@hasithachat Yes, it does.

[DomNickles]

I have another question, will the Sony Ericsson Xperia ARC cases fit on this or do I have to buy something from the site? Thanks

[SchlumpfiHB]

@DomNickles I don't know but I doubt it?!? The original phone is probably thinner?

[MrDjRayner]

I cant seem to dowload flash player for my hdc a9100 do you have any idea it says incompatible app?

[DomNickles]

And can I root to another rom I really don't like the green status bar? And if so where can I find them in English?

[SchlumpfiHB]

@DomNickles Sorry, I haven't looked for new roms, no idea.

[DomNickles]

My question is can the phone operate with the sim card in the 3G slot or will I have to keep changing it out

[SchlumpfiHB]

@DomNickles Of course it works in the 3G Slot. One Slot is GSM, the other one is GSM + 3G

[hasithachat]

Few questions for you Does the gps work without a sim How is the speaker quality is it loud Can it run gameloft games like Nova 2 ,asphault 6 without lagging Does the screen lag is the touch screen smooth How long does it take to come out of sleep mode Is the audio quality good out of the 3.5 jack Does it have minu usb video out Does it support flash Is this phone and the hd7000 the same How is the camera quality Uplaod a recording from the phone camera thanks a lot , please answer my questio

[SKApunkKIEV]

Hey, please, help me, I want to know - does it have autofocus on any camera?

many thanks!!

[MrDjRayner]

can u give me a link to the mtk phone drivers my phone is hdc a9100

[TheHDQuality]

please put full link, what will go directly to the product, thank you =)

And will it be shipped out of China? Because some of products will not be allowed to be shipped to my country, what is on Europe. Plus they add taxes if the product even gets here.

[SchlumpfiHB]

@TheHDQuality The product links sometimes change, just go the the website and search for x18i. Fastcardtech ships from China.

[morenocos]

Which is te official web site of the manufacturer Star x18i ?

[Classicpunch94]

Might as well just get the arc

[KikiTheOnly]

Hey ColonelZap. Sehr cooles Video, und überhaupt auch sehr geiler Kanal (ist aboniert :)) Eine Frage: Da Du ja sehr viel Erfahrung mit Chinophones hast, ist dieses besser oder doch lieber das "HD7 EVO T9292"? Was würdest Du sagen? Hat dieses einen Autofocus? MFG Kiki

[fissure92]

do you know if this phone is rooted? or can it be rooted? i would like to install a custom rom on this phone.

[SchlumpfiHB]

@fissure92 I rooted it myself, Super One Click V2.2 did the job. :-)

[fissure92]

@SchlumpfiHB glad to hear super one click works for this phone. thanks for the answer.

[allritegovnar]

@Schlumpfihb HEY, love the video..ultimate question i have to ask you..i am looking to get high tech phone but they all practically do the same job..i need your advice can give your me 2 other phones in todays market which comes as your best choice.

[fissure92]

nice video i have 1 question about this phone. on the site it mentions its a dual core with the second core being a ARM116 with 507 MHZ. does this work together with the other so you would have a (possible) clock speed of 1150 MHZ? i ask because you dont mention it in the video but it is on the site at specifications.

[SchlumpfiHB]

@fissure92 Hi :-) This can be "confusing", actually every phone has a second core, it's for the radio, meaning it's used for making phone calls. At least that's how I understand it. So, those things don't add up, they are two sererate things.

[fissure92]

@SchlumpfiHB wow quick reply. seeing your video 650 mhz is still enough to run games smoothly. so how i understand it 507 is used for lightweight stuff like general phone use and when opening an game/app the 650 mhz comes in?

everything running smooth is the most important :)

[fastcardtech]

Nice video always!

[LMH19981]

Hello, nice job! Can you make a full review of the Gooapple V5 <

Thanks !

[18emjay]

in what WEBSITE did you get this phone? I really like one.

[SchlumpfiHB]

@18emjay There is a link in the video's description ;-)

[Blackgreen96]

hai @SchlumpfiHB ...=)

i have few question want to ask you..

is this "Android" brand made in china?

And where can we download the software or app?

[SchlumpfiHB]

@Blackgreen96 Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "Android band made in China"? The Android OS on this phone is just like any another Android on any Android phone.

You can download apps and games from the Android Market, this phone has full access to the market :-)
