    Hi.I had this phone for about a year now, and had no problems with it. My battery could last up to 2 days with average use. This was the case until 4 days ago, when it reduced to 1day 12hours. And yesterday evening when i took it off the charger it was 100% charged, but when i woke up at 6 o'clock in the morning it went down to 61% and went to 5% in coupke of hours by doing nothing on it. Can sb please tell me if it is my charger which gone bad suddenly, or my phone itself? Thanks!

                    Upgrade to kitkat 4.4.2 should be available through phone update. Did it yesterday, I guess it is better, but you loose blue Wifi icon, they are all white, which is boring. Will report on other stuff after few days.

                      This is my first "smart" phone. Previous phone was a Nokia E50. I had the Nokia for around... 8 years and it still is in perfect working order. I bought this last autumn, in november. It's the dualsim type, with 16GB internal memory and without a SD card. Nevertheless, I bought a keyboard for it and it came with a cute adapter from male microUSB to female normal USB. On a whim, I also tried connecting a flash card to the adapter and what do you know? IT WORKED! I can also expand the memory with just about any flashcard. I'm extremely satisfied with the phone, have both my Yahoo and Google e-mails configured, though I currently only use on SIM card on it. What can I say? No problems with it except it DOES heat up when talking extensively (at the upper part of the phone). Talking extensively means more than 10 minutes at a time. Oh! Yes! I have not upgraded to KitKat since a friend of mine, more knowledgeable in computers than yours truly told me he had problems with it. So... I just dismiss it whenever the phone tries to "coax" me into upgrading and that's that. For me, it's a great machine and serves me perfectly. I have purchased a back cover of silicon that really helps with the hand gripping and a belt leather case so that I won't have to carry it in my pocket, which I resent, or in my hand which is even less appealing. It works great, had it for almost 10 months now and ... very happy with it.

                                  I have had this phone for about 6 months now and a few days ago my wife was playing a game and the phone just crashed. It crashed previously but was able to turn it back on by pushing the power button. Now it wont come on at all. If I charge it the indicator light will come on but the phone does not. It is a good phone but dont want to throw it away. Can sombody help me?

                                    Phone was going on good until it got pressed in my pocket an the screen cracked, no big deal, right??? Kmt. Right below the crack, ntn responds an then to top it off the touch isn't sold separately, the touch an the screen is one assembly. An the damn touch-screen assembly is the same price as a brand new idol 2. This is stupid!!!

                                        It heats up after internet browsing, after you tube, during conversation . And it heats up near the camera and in front so I have a hot phone on my ear during conversation and it is summer. It is very anoying. It is a good phone but if I knew this I wouldn't have bought it.
