Acer Liquid E3 - User Reviews

  • To the person who asked about using a 64gb sd card.... You can absolutely use a 64gb sd card in this phone. just format it as fat32 before putting it into the phone. I have a Liquid E3 Duo and a Lexar Class-10 64gb works just fine!

  • Did u find a solution to dis problem? Same happening with my acer too :(

  • hi, I'm using this phone for many days and I'm just having done with that phone. But my question is about the sd card support, I'm planning to buy a 64 GB SDXC, but I'm not sure will it support that or not. What kind of sd card you were using? Can you please two me that? I'm planning to buy a Samsung 64 GB EVO.

  • wait at least 30 minutes for the phone to charge. It happened to me but this helps it. By half an hour it should be charge around 10% or so. Dont use the phone otherwise it drain quickly. Hope this helps

  • This phone worked great at first, but as time went buy I experience so many problems that drove me mad. Phone wouldnt turn on, broken microphone, back camera not working, crashing apps, battery drains so fast. Not really the kind of phone I would recommend somebody to buy. Totally not the best phone I've ever had

  • I've had this phone for two years. Pro's: I've got a 64GB SD card in it and it works just fine. Despite only having 1GB of ram it still loads up most things pretty quickly and I very rarely get app crashes. Con's: The battery! After a year it started to need charging twice a day, after two I'm now charging three times a day. For my next phone I will definitely get one that has a removable battery. The 4GB of on board data is the biggest issue that I have with this phone, it's just not enough, even for basic usage. It came pre-loaded with quite a few things that cannot be uninstalled you can only delete the updates to claw back a bit of space. I only use a handful of apps and the on-board storage is constantly full despite having it set to SD storage by default.

  • The flicker of your screen cause use an original charger equipment..try to use the original charger.

  • We got two of these from 3,they don't want to know!! Problems from about 6 months,I ditched mine for my daughter's old Sony but the missus is still struggling with hers Causes endless stress moments. Will never,ever,use this crap make again.A 2 year contract with a 6 month phone.Absolutely useless and should have all been recalled.

  • i cannot find instructions to pair my phone to my car please help!!!

  • Ive had this phone for almost a year now. I think it is a pretty amazing phone for the price, good camera and display. Ive dropped it plenty of times and there wasnt even a sign of cracks At times it can be slow but over all a good phone if you are on a budget

  • after 6 months of used my screen start flickering. im from philippines. do not buy this faulty phone. waste of money

  • That was also my problem late last year. I went to Acer serfvice center twice because it kept on coming back (blue light). Thanks to their advice which is keep my phone at least 30% battery. I don't let it lowbat anymore. Since then, my phone is fine. However, another problem arised, back camera is not working...

  • I have sent my mobile three times to Acer because the blue light...it is nothing to do about. :(

  • I bought an Acer E3 six months ago. At first I was pleased with it but after about two months the battery would not held a charge for any length of time. My use is minimal and frequently after charging to full the battery would last less the 12 hours despite little or no use. Then on30 December thr phone bleeped three times, Informed me that AcerHome had stopped working and then died. I have tried to revive it using information Gleaned from You Tube but the phone remains obstinately dead. In my opinion the Acer E3 is unfit for purpose and I would advise anyone thinking of buying one to look elsewhere.

  • Was your problem solved? I have the same problem. Can't switch on the phone and when charging I see a constant blue light (instead of red or green).

  • We have the same problem too. So sad :-(

  • My friend has the e3 and sadly has one more year on contact as the phone is poor in battery and memory the top button gave up 6 months ago and some times the contacts do a disappearing act after a phone call so it was the first and last acer phone for him.CHEAP BUT NOT CHEERFUL 👎👎😕.

  • I have used the ACER E3 and it just dead. Charged it for 24 hrs and only blue light. Tried pressing power and volume down for 10seconds and more not working. What could be the problem and how can i solve it?

  • Shane you are right to say that you have write Acer and they don't reply, Because I have a problems with my own Acer phone and have write they refuse to reply me regret buying a phone of this mark

  • Shane you are right to say that you have write Acer and they don't reply, Because I have a problems with my own Acer phone and have write they refuse to reply me regret buying a phone of this mark

  • Awful phone. Doesn't hold a charge for more than a day at best. The only redeeming feature is the camera, which is very good. But the battery is so poor you can't take it out with you on a walk and get a lot of pictures without the battery dying. Very poor internal memory, 4gb. And, with Android, you can't move most of the apps across to SD. It simply won't allow them to be stored on SD. So, pointless, you can't have many apps on the phone at all. Would be a great phone if it had larger memory and better battery life. Disappointing, only had it for a year, am getting rid and swapping it, even though I've got a year left on contract.

  • My Acer liquid E3 E380 doesn't hold a charge, goes from 100% to 0% in about three hours and that is when I am not even using it. I reported it to Acer. I was advised to fully charge it then let it go to 0%, I was told to do this four times then it will be fixed. Well I have done it about thirty times and it still doesn't hold a charge. I have been trying to get hold of Acer for about three months, they never answer my emails,texts and phone calls. I am stuck with this phone for another year. I have told all my friends not to get anything made by Acer.

  • This phone is driving me mad... The first one I had kept turning itself off for 12/14 hrs sent that one back now this one has for some reason taken half my contacts names and numbers off. Never never buy a acer 380...

  • Terrible Terrible Terrible phone! Slow, constantly crashed completely forcing me to click OK on 15+ error messages before you could finally restart the phone which then took an absolute age to start up. The quick launch button for the camera on the rear they go on about is only any good for taking 600 photos of the inside of your pocket! The camera was terrible at focusing. Every time it was updating apps it becaume so slow it was USELESS, you couldn't even make a call, speaking of calls it sometimes wouldn't even do that, you would press the call button and it would just not bother and all you would hear is silence! Worst phone I have ever owned!

  • Load of rubbish.worst phone ever had.flickering screen.cant use Facebook now .to top it all won't do anything at all.cant turn on or off.stuck on messenger.

  • Front light works after update by mine

  • Was a great phone to start with, loved it! After about 8 months I began having major problems related to app crashing issues, the lock screen crashing, a flickering screen, etc. After sending it off TWICE to be repaired by Acer (the first time they thought they could get away with a software update which did absolutely nothing). The second time they replaced the whole main board which did fix the crashing issues. I'm now having to cope with charging problems (not the charger, assuming the charging port or something internal) and the microphone (the bottom one, not the camera one) being completely broken, preventing me from using the phone for calls or using apps that use it like music searching apps. It's not worth being without a phone for 3-4 weeks (they say it'll be 1-2 but don't trust them) just to receive it back and have yet another issue with it, I won't be buying another Acer phone again unless it is supposed to be seriously good and reliable.

  • click the normal mode icon. it looks like a photo of two mountains in black and white.

  • anyone tell me my acer e380 front light dont work?

  • Gets very hot when data is on. Screen is flickering with no reason. Will take 30 minutes - 1 hour before the screen gets back to normal.

  • ive had this phone over a year i keep getting a pink dot on my signal ive re-set it through my settings ive told the store the dont have a clue whats up with it the worse phone ive had

  • After one year of use the software crushed over night. A new soft was installed . After another 2 weeks the display didn t respond to touch. Replaced ! At first service the headset was Replaced. Bad phone.

  • dont buy this phone... after usin it for more then 1 year, it turned out to bee a bad phone, the phone doesnt read sdcard, and frequently when i turn on my phone, hang on the acer logo, and its very hot also very slow

  • I have that same problem, keep getting message internal memory almost full.

  • While it is a decent phone, I've had ridiculous problems with it that acer haven't even fixed. I've had it for just over a year and about 5 months ago I started having problems. I have very serious app crashing issues which my technical friend believes to be issues with the RAM or storage. It happens 5-15 times a day and requires a restart to get the phone running properly. I also have issues with a flickering screen. And it currently won't turn on whatever I try, it's not been turning on for about 12 hours now, I only received it from "repair" two days ago and if anything it's got worse. All acer did was a "software update". I shall not be buying from acer again, it is a faulty phone.

  • What is that color green that standby on the charging light that instead red ?

  • i keep cutting everyone off trying to answer the phone no idea how to answer it !!!!!!!

  • Have you updated your firmware to kitkat as there should be one available and have you tried clearing the cache in recovery mode.

  • The only good thing about that phone is the front facing light and the camera as for the build quality poor memory that is expandable but not by much and poor support and when in recovery mode it was in pure Chinese and the home/power button gave up after three months so for the same sort money then the moto x is by far the better phone.

  • need to replace your battery sir

  • Need to replace your battery sir....

  • I'm not happy with this purchase. Only 3 months after buying it, it died without apparent reason. The provider repared it, but I lost all the info stored up to that point, and i had to wait 5 weeks before i got the phone back.

  • I have 32 Gb SD card and have moved all the apps to sd card but this does not free up any space on the internal memory. It is full so i cannot download anything nor can i update any of the apps that were preinstalled. When i uninstall apps it still does not free up any internal storage space.

  • not charging coz its light is color blue while charging.and it hangs always not continuing to charge. hellp

  • why am i unable to recieve songs through bbm it downloads and when its on the last it just stops if i click on it then it says no handler for this type of file Is there anything i can do ? what is the best way to get music on this phone

  • I have owned my Acer Liquid E3 for about 11 months. Recently the touch screen stopped functioning properly so I had it repaired by Acer. The whole experience was a nightmare (they sent the phone to the wrong factory) and I was without a phone for 3 weeks.This is the second piece of Acer equipment I have bought and they look good but are not reliable. And the customer service is the worst I have seen for any company in the world.

  • does u use playstore

  • my acer is not charging,,, coz its light is color blue while charging... and it hangs always not continuing to boot.... is it the battery or the program?? help pls

  • not good iam buying mobail acer liquid e3 is not worck out speeker iam in worckd qatar not buyig other pepil this branted mobail acer his chithing me

  • Hi..do you have any idea how to remove or even just transfer built in APPS to SDCARD? The built in apps cosumes almost all the 4gb internal mem. there is only MB free space left. Not even a GB.

  • the phone is too hot when im watching videos or using it continously for 15 minutes .

  • goood

  • hey there the problem m facing is MX player isn't working properly.. I have installed many versions but the problem remained same... it hangs after 4 or 5 videos.plz do let me know how can I get it fixed.. :) I have changed the SD card too so plz tell me the remedy

  • click the normal mode icon (the icon next to the face beauty mode-face with two stars)

  • how can i activate the front flash

  • How do I activate the front flash?

  • Yes! I have to be really careful when I use my phone for a phone call as it once left a burn mark on my ear lobe. I normally just use loud speaker cause it's less painful.

  • how do i open this phone to get to the battery

  • You can use an app like Link2SD to move files from your internal memory to the SD card. If you create symoblic links you can get even further and run pretty much anything on your phone. Plus if you pay for the app you get the ability to move /data/ files to SD too. You can get past most problems if you are willing to root your phone. I've done it myself.

  • That's also what I thought, but it's true. You can move apps to the SD card, I have to say that not all the apps are moveable(?), like messenger but most of the apps can be moved to the SD card.

  • i am from Nepal, and using liquid e-3 since 6 months, its very nice for me its really very good product photo and video shoot very high quality but yesterday i lost my phone its gifted by my lovely sister i am very sad. please if possible find my acer liquid e-3 set please help me.

  • Quite a good phone. Camera and sound is perfect for me. The problem is the internal memory. You can't use up your SD card no matter how huge or even if you move all your apps there. If the internal memory comes down to 300mb or less, you can't install any more applications coz it still needs to consume some from the internal memory. Battery is okay. It doesn't heat up that much, just normal.

  • i thought apps werent moveable in kitkat update?

  • Faboulous budget ph at this price 13MP camera works better than S4.

  • I've been using this phone for about a week now and I'm really happy with it. Some people wonder if storage is a problem, well I can tell you for me it's not a problem. I've downloaded a couple of apps like snapchat, 9gag,... and you can move the apps to your sd card so you can use the 4gb memory for text messages and things like that. This phone is really fast, the 1gb ram is enough to do the normal things like browsing, chatting, gaming etc. I'm not really sure if you can play the real high grafic games as I'm not that type of gamer. Battery life is also quite good, I need to plug in the charger about every 2 days even if with 3g on. The screen is really sensitive, for me it's something I like, but it's a personal opinion. I think for some people it's maybe a little to sensitive. Call quality is also good contrary to what I read here. So I'm happy with this phone, it's a really good phone in this price range and I would certainly recommend it.

  • hello! how many is the USEABLE internal memory if its 4gb?

  • i want to know if storage is a problem? (4gb internal) since ya know, were unable to move apps to sd card now. how many text messages before filling up the internal memory?

  • hi...i bought acer liquid e3 2 days ago..i have to return it since it heats up everytime i make a call or text. Is it normal to heat up during a call

  • its good but i have more cellphones to come

  • Front camera is unsatisfactory..

  • Hi I'm from Philippines also i bought this phone last 2 weeks ago and its perfect for me. The Battery of this phone long last up to 2 days for me.The camera of this phone fantastic. It depends on the phone that bought if their is some minor unexpected issue that you don't like, but for me i don't have any problem with this phone. :)

  • does it support usb otg??

  • First Unit I got is faulty. Camera only auto focus after 30 seconds. Have it replace within the seven day warranty. Second Unit is OK. I think the store tried to sell me a faulty Unit because I heard them whispering to each other that "The knew I'd be back."

  • How can I used my phone if doesn't working now... I'm using this for games then naghang na...!_!

  • please help how do l transfer my photos and music from internal memory to sd card lm struggling

  • call quality is not bad but not too good. Quality price is ok

  • hello! Ive read some reviews saying the call quality is bad, IS IT REALLY? can you really now hear the person on the other line? Or you can hear them perfectly?

  • Someone plea post a sample pic using the front camera plsumssss? With and without flash pls hehe ty

  • Hello! I'm from the Philippines too and I was wondering, is the call quality good? Ive read a couple of reviews saying they can't really hear the person on the phone even when the signal is good

  • Hi, I'm from the Philippines and I just bought this phone like a week ago. Works perfectly. You don't have to worry much. ;)

  • it is a good phone, I got him a year and works perfectly.

  • is your phone also easily getting hot eventhough you have a short phone call?

  • I have had this phone for almost however the charging port is faulty and my sister had the same problem too,my phone would not charge unless it was held in a certain position.I definitely would not recommend an acer phone

  • no sim card detected is the message I get on my new acer liquid e3 phone, though I'hv inserted a micro chip.

  • yes i just bought it and super good..performance was excellent chrging time took 3hrs ..cam quality is super good n clear .front cam has flash which is good for selfie .......battery get hot if its ur in hot environmnt lol

  • got this phone 1 week ago., its a good phone,, but poor battery, dnt have problems wth this device,, f you know how to use it,, you can maximize the use of this phone.

  • Hi hold power and vol down for ten sec a menu should appear use vol to scroll then press power to active there are 5 options choose reset option it will delete content hope this helps

  • Yes kit kat update recieved in uk aug 2014 dual sim version dont know about lolipop

  • Acer E3 no compatibility to Glonas GPS!!!

  • Is this phone upgradeable to kitakat or lollipop?? :)

  • if you have not already resolved this issue or returned the handset, try going into settings>manage apps (whatever its called, i dont have the phone this is a generic android fix), go to 'all apps' find camera and go to it, then clear data, maybe restart the phone and hopefully this will resolve the camera issue, good luck mate.

  • hi I just bought this phone like 3days ago? and somehow there's no problem yet that I encounter, cameras good. However some of the other comments here bothers me. I hope that won't happen on my phone.

  • Anyone here from Philippines that has this phone? I am planning to buy one but since some had prob with it from other country i would like to know if I might face the same prob. Thanks in advnce

  • Wonderful phone, one of the best from Acer.

  • I had my acer phone for 5 months now yesterday it stop ringing. I need your help. thanks

  • I have had this phone a year now, and I have loved using it. The rear facing camera is really good at 13mp,and the front camera has a very useful flash too. The screen is really smooth and fast to text on, and the printed photos are really on par with more expensive phones. The only thing I found annoying several times in the year, is the blue screen effect with Chinese or foreign language, but it can be set within a few seconds and back to normal. I love the easy interface, and it charges up really quickly. I would recommend this over many far more expensive phones that almost have the same features. It only has 4gb internal memory that is swallowed up easily, but a memory card easily remedies this . I would give this phone 8 and half out of 10.it is very hard-wearing too.

  • I have been using Liquid E380 for almost 3 months. No problem and it runs perfect. Good 3Gmail connection. Nothing wrong with devise, perhaps the network that subscribed.

  • I have had this phone for 2 weeks, good phone but 2 nights ago it went dead when I was asleep, I put it on charge in the morning but there was just a blue light which goes off after a while. I've tried charging it on my laptop but it doesn't work. I've had it on charge for hours but no sign of it coming on.

  • Decent phone, had it 3 weeks now with no problems. Good camera.

  • the worst phone ever ,it do not switch on , I spoke to acer support and the best was told me was if is software I will be charge £70 , what ? mobile three months old ,do they try to put me off what kind of service or warranty ? i WOULD NOT BUY NOTHING ELSE FROM THOSE PEOPLE

  • guys,why do my charger make sizzling sound..anyone have the same problem like me?

  • I have this phone for 9 month now, for the gps the 1st thing to do is to download the last version of android. (Note that before, test the gps in activating all gps option for better fix in your gps parameters(full precision GPS,A-GPS,...)). So if the android update don't resovle the gps problem, download gps fix app : "GPS test" and " GPS status" : for me, before the update, these app have resolve my gps fix problem. and now the fix is about instant or few second. I'm french, sorry for my english.

  • I've bought this device for 3 months, and its gps cant find any satellites for find my position, I cant use my google maps or waze. anyone can help?

  • This happened to me. I was using a USB charger that provided a little under the normal 5V - using a full 5V charger worked however. The low voltage charger only failed when the phone was extremely low on power; all other times it worked. Try an alternate charger.

  • wokeup today to use my phone camera, only to notice i cant use the behind camera. Only the front that is less than 3 mps can work. The usually icon i click on to change disappeared. Any advice?

  • My acer liquid e3 is totally dead after switching off before I could charge it, I plug charger in and the blue light comes on but it will not turn on, not even a vibration when you press the button. I level it on the charger then the blue light goes out after a while, but the phone is still dead....? Help please

  • My touch screen buttons r unrepsonive on the liquad e3 phone help

  • Had been using this phone for 3 month, only RM400 at ITStore, good camera quality, sometimes lag, great interface, sound quality moderate, bought the one with 16GB ROM and 2GB RAM, battery is not really great but can last through the day, storage is very big, great phone with its price, but if you can increase your budget go for zenfone 5

  • No please don't buy it. Worst phone ever! Battery life zero, charging takes forever. Speaker volume poor, can't hear it ring a yard away either. Will never buy Acer products again. Period!

  • Wipe data and cache data or factory reset. You've installed something stupid and the phone is telling that to you! You forgot to mention that, right? Sorry for the data you are going to loose...hopefully you backup-ed. You can do that in bootloafing mode. Search the key combination for your phone on google.

  • The best phone ever...i have'it from june ....0 problem... 3g perfect Camera perfect Wi-fi ok Everything is ok i don't now why u have just problem with this phone....maybe the problems is not the phone :)

  • The same happens to me it won't unlock what should I do

  • Hy I have the same problem what did you do?? Can you help me please?

  • Hy i can't open my phone it says "unfortunately, Acer Liquid has stopped" What should I do now??

  • Hi, I bought in the summer a acer e3 duo liquid plus, after 1 month the 2nd sim card slot said there is none in it, but there is. Have other of you experienced the same problem? i tried to find a solution for it, like reset and it did not work. Updated to kitkat but it got slower, facebook and hotmail app was not working. Even with 2 gb ram it becomes slower. the con is only the sim card slot is not working. Are anyone of you experience the same problem?

  • Hi, I bought Acer e3 duo liquid this summer. A 16gb dual sim. After 1 month the second Sim card slot says no-sim card on it and there is one there. I have search for solution but there is none. If someone has the same problem please leave message. After update to kitkat facebook and email did not work so good. It becames a little slower even with 2gb ram. And the email hotmail app did not work good. Thank you.

  • Hi. I just wanted to find out if you still have the Acer E3 & how is it now? Also I'd like to know about the battery, does it still take long to charge? Thanks :-)

  • hello , i will ask question , i cant open my phone , it says in the screen : Unfortunately ,ACER LIQUID HAD STOPPED ... pls give me an advice .. id you know whats wrong with this , or how can i fixed this phone .. thank you

  • I got this phone a bit over a month ago. pros: -you won't find a better camera for the price. -the screen looks amazing and vibrant cons: -Fairly slow 3G. -Horrible signal. -GPS is a joke, it's only found my location twice. The rest of the time it's either looking for it for ages (while completely draining my battery) or it shows i'm miles away from where I actually am. -Sometimes it fails to even show the correct time. I've been late for work because of that. -The battery icon is rubbish. If you don't charge your phone to 100% and it's lets say at 20%, take it as more of a 2%. The minute you start using this phone, the battery icon will turn into a countdown. I've seen it dropping from 11% to 0% in under 2 minutes. -It freezes for no reason. When I'm using apps or games it's working great but sometimes, after unlocking it, it becomes unresponsive for about 5 minutes giving me a dead black screen and showing absolutely no signs of life. -The included charger takes around 6 hours to fully charge it which is ridiculous. I'm using a different one now which takes only 2 hours. -If you buy this phone, when you open the package, find the included headphones and bin them instantly. I've never ever used worse headphones. They make my ears feel clogged, like I'm listening to the music my neighbour is playing next door with my ear pressed against the wall. Literally. -Very little storage. I've only downloaded 2 games and it's full. -Screen light alternates between dim and bright all the time for no reason. -Power save mode doesn't seem to go off. Even if you turn it off, you'll often get a message asking you to "please turn the power save mode off". I really regret buying this phone. Very inconsistent and I can't even trust it with the time. If I could afford a new one, I would throw it away instantly.

  • I've had this phone a week and so far I'm loving it. Takes great pictures, sound quality is OK and internet is way faster than my old Samsung galaxy ace. Only downside, the headphones are rubbish, using my old Samsung headphones and they work great.

  • Just got this phone; literally I've only had it for a day. Front camera is aabsolutely amazing! I don't know how to post pictures on this site but i took a picture of the little strands of fabric on my sofa and it focused and everything. The back facing camera, used for selfies is pretty bad to be honist. Nice looking phone apart from the red bits round the front. Easy to use yet ssometimes the keypad plays up. Im writing this review on the phone so any mistakes, iIapologise. Its annoying how each time iI press a letter the phone vibrates but Ithink that can be sorted in settings. Apps like fFacebookand amazon . the reason why Ibought this phone is bbecause i wanted something to take photos and text friends and family wwhilst on hholiday and Ithink it will fit that roll nnicely. I have a iiPod and iPad to use because am going to not download any games on this phone to save memory for pics.

  • question

  • Firstly I thought it was a great phone(whoops)how wrong,45 days later phone froze,lost photos,contacts,apps so slow no internet,yet switched on,got phone exchange now 2nd day 25 mins to update 1 app??

  • Worst phone i have ever owned firstly the battery life was really bad thought i had a faulty phone took it back to store and the gave me another one. Same thing again even if you switched off everything in background such as apps , wifi , bluetooth and data connection still was terrible . when using it to make call if you where on phone for about 6 mins you could feel the phone heating up. So when you did want to use the internet or for facebook the battery drained like a child with a milkshake on a hot summers day so you had to plug it on charge after about 10 to 15 mins but if you carried on using it plugged in it would overheat very quickly and the overheat warning would come on screen so you had to switch it off. until finally came in from work switched the phone off as normal as mobile signal bad in my house when i went to switch it back on it was dead total time had phone including exchange was 8 weeks only thing what was good on it was the camera as it did take good pictures on the 13mp save your money or dont even take one if they offer you it in a contract steer clear of this useless pile of junk

  • I had screen shots and Bluetooth photos and now both files have disappeared from GALLERY. I did take my phone in to the shop where I got it due to the battery lasting just hours, the assistant turned off all notifications on the apps I don't use, this did increase the battery efficiency but I fear something else was done in error. I can no longer take screen shots, phone keeps saying unable, check storage. I have done this and storage is fine. Has anyone got any ideas please.

  • Hi, just want to find out if this phone has a charging LED

  • If you can afford it go for the acer liquid e3 duo plus, same specs as above except for an extra £50GBP you get 16Gb internal memory and 2gb Rom. I've been using for 6 weeks now and its brilliant. My only irk is the stock camera app doesn't serve the camera well. Install some third party camera apps and your good to go. No memory worries and the Rom can handle so much, big thumbs up

  • anyone having problems with phone freezing?

  • got this fone 4 month now, each day is getting worse, gps never worked, now camera, flash and speakers stopped work, battery never charge full and also durability is about 4-5 hours, many unstable features on last update ( since update got force close all time)

  • Is it worth it to buy Acer Liquid E3?

  • i have got acer liquid-3 to day i am very exited what happen lets see.

  • I got the Acer e3 liquid yesterday and set it up but noticed there is no music player for down loaded songs .blue tooth etc or am I missing it lol does anybody know plz :)

  • Had this phone only 6 days n sent it bk, over heated, battery !!! Unplugged charger @ 8am sent only one txt phone completely dead by 4pm, phone had to be charged twice per day, phone connection very poor, I was with the same server with the phone I had previously never a problem but with the acer liquid E3 I never managed to have a full conversation. On the up side very easy-to-use clear phone. I believe the phone I had was damaged in some way but unfortunately I was put off it .

  • acer liquid e3 is good phone

  • which one : Liquid E3 or Lenovo S930 , any suggestions? E3 has 2 GB RAM and 16 GB internal memory in Surabaya, they offer 3 years warranty.

  • I just bought that phone but I need the casing where is the address of that shop?

  • for the flip cover just buy it from tokopedia, i've bought it this day

  • Thanks god, the version that is sold in my country is the "Plus" one. With 16GB internal memory I don't need microsd card for mainstream apps and some music. the bigger 2GB RAM is the biggest selling factor. Because many local brands in my country use the same SOC, but crippled it with 1GB RAM or worse 512MB RAM.

  • you must be using some other charger instead of the one they provided. there are specific watts from each charger. a samsung one will never charge it.

  • i've like use this phone for over 3 months less... and the performance is great, the camera is awesome, its surely a good phone for it price. i got the 16gb version also free 32gb sdcard with 2gb ram and it cost for like 300$ in indonesia and i've got a cover ( not flip cover) in yogyakarta

  • is this fone built with front camera?what about vedio skype call?

  • Hi yes thats the only thing that pisses me off

  • Good all round performance. But! Such a stupid design on the front red grills.... Dust and dirt gets trapped, constantly having to clean!!!!!

  • Just bought this yesterday, really smooth performance, bought the one with 16gb rom, battery works really good, it had so many good features. the cons is, it is too lightweight and no protector.

  • such an efficient phone! its brilliant :) battery lasts a long time and its one of the best phones i ever had!

  • 2 months of using these phone. pro: smart to use for bizz , intuitive , nice look, premium camera. con: small batery, if u don't use SD card space for apps , u will block the phone, bad comection whith blue headset( coud be the headset , even is plantronics), no accesoriers available, the jack of wireled heaset blocked in the phone at firs use, something keep tthe jack inside, very hard to pull out.

  • acer liquid e3 i buy on the 30th of may and two weeks ago the battery is dead,when i charge the handset and unplug the charger it says the battery need chargeing the phone look good but its rubbish,when its charging its becomes very hot within one minute ,very poor please ,please dont buy it you will regret spending your money.and you cant take it back to the store you buy from ,you must call acer,bull shit.

  • As Acer is a Taiwanese cpany and Taiwanese brand, it serves a good offer to Taiwan for an extra 2 GB RAM only. (Dunno bout HK

  • Got mine tonight from amazon leather flip cace 3.99

  • what can i buy,. acer e3 or xperia acro s ??

  • For the price 180� is a very good phone. Some extra interesting - Acer SnapNote, float call, float buttons. Very solid. The sound - good. The position (frontal) is a great. The right size for my hand. Just have bigger phones, but is difficult to use in some situations (send messaging for example). Upgrade immediately, after initial configuration, for Android 4.4. Cons: Battery life - the normal, not the best. Time to charge is a bit long. Internal memory 4Gb is a limitation, but with a SD Card solve the problem.

  • 200 mah ? That's jog ? 2000 mah is too low ... :-(

  • its a great phone wouldnt trade it for a iphone in a lifetime...the pic are WOW and full hd screen is also wow

  • ok good quality screen speakers r ok not to good but battery is awful takes ages to charge like about 2 to 3 hrs and is awful lasts about 6 hrs wen not using screen gets tooo hot wen using hve know swapped it for iphone 4s happy no gonna wait some time till nxt year for a betta reasonable priced fone

  • Does the Acer Liquid E3 (4GB) offer "Wifi direct" to connect with other devices?

  • Battery talk yime is 16 hours and not 5 hiurs. it has 200 mah battery.

  • Have bought it last month but until now haven't got the flipcover in jakarta for Acer Liquid E3 E380,should we buy from ebay store!

  • Yes, it is equipped with FM radio.

  • Bought one last Wednesday, but where can i found flip cover or casing in jakarta?

  • An online store like Lazada.co.id has Liquid E3 with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB memory version.

  • unknown

  • does it have a gorilla glass.. if it does, is it gorilla glass 2 or gorilla glass 3?

  • I just got the dual sim version yesterday in HK & it sports a 16Gb internal memory & 2 Gb of RAM. It's cheap at HK$ 1.5K. My initial experience is that it's fast & buttery smooth with no lag whatsoever. Camera is very decent & the flash in front is a nice add-on.

  • where can we get the acer liquid e3 with 2 gb RAM and 32 gb ROM

  • Is it equipped with FM Radio?

  • Yes, it plays Dead Trigger perfectly. I just played it for about half an hour. It heats up a bit around the camera on the back (probably where the CPU/GPU is) and drains the battery very rapidly but there's no lag, very smooth gameplay. Quite an intense game btw, thanks for the tip :)

  • I'll assume many commenters around here never even used the phone.. Anyhow, it is in fact a very good device. I've used it for about 2 weeks now (upgraded from Xperia GO) and must say it's performing nicely. The battery lasts me a full day (frequent mail checking, about an hour of resource intensive gaming, whatsapp, occasional texting/calls, some browsing,... - all in all above average use). I'm using Buzz Launcher with no lag whatsoever. I did soft-brick it (faulty Titanium backup) when I just got it but factory resetting in recovery mode was a walk through the park. There's a lot of bloatware but that's easily disabled (plus, not all of that Acer crap is bad). The screen is bright and sharp, the wide aspect is awesome for gaming/watching movies. Camera quality is OK and shoots very fast thanks to the button on the back, the front cam with flash is a nifty feature but I don't really use it (not a fan of selfies). The sound from the front speakers is superb compared to most phones. Two minor aspects are the lack of NFC and 4G (LTE). If you're looking for a reasonably priced phone and don't need those latest technologies (do you really?) you're getting a lot of awesomeness without annihilating your wallet. Keep in mind you can buy 3 of these until you got to the price for one of the latest flagship devices of other brands! >_

  • this E3 not so special, battery getting hot, and need 3 time charge in one day...i try playing GT 2 its working but when i play FMH 2013 the screen getting to slow...but its worth it for me not so expensive but spec not so bad..

  • the great phone in medium class ... not too good and not bad ... i apreciated with 8 point by 10 .-

  • Indonesia have version 2GB Ram and 16GB Rom

  • Is it still using Mediatek chipset for 2GB RAM & 16GB ROM version?

  • Received this phone as a contract phone on 3.. the guy in the shop knew nothing about it as they had just got them in ?? likely story, I digress.. I charged it up all night long and had a 100% battery in the morning and I was ready to register the phone. It crashed... Had to press power on button and vol. up button at same time until it vibrates and it starts afresh... Only had it crash 5 times up to now but it is Sunday tomorra so all the shops are shut... All except my shop where I bought the phone contract. Its going back.....

  • Yeahh... Lenovo K900 seems the better, but it's hotter while running some application & no external memory slot... :)

  • Why mediatek ????? oh no.

  • Add IDR300k (=3200k) and you'll get Lenovo K900 which has (much) faster performance (2GHz 4 thread Intel processor and 533MHz dual core 544MP2 GPU), twice internal memory (32GB), bigger screen (5,5") and bigger resolution (Full HD), better design (slimmer, only 7mm and K900 has metal cover), bigger battery capacity, etc etc..^^

  • I just bought my E3 for Indonesian version with 2GB RAM & 16GB internal memory. I think it's the best price/performance across the level of mid-range smartphones. I could have a high performance smartphone with reasonable price compared to the competitors.... Morever I have a free 32GB Sandisk Ultra microSD card as a bonus :)

  • Great phone, buy it 3 days ago with different specification in my country. Ram 2gb and internal 16gb plus bonus 32gb sdcard class10.

  • yea, overall it will score great!

  • the acer liquid e3 is brilliant but ppl r saying tht theres problems with the dual sim and it calls from any same and tht problem i think is going to be solved as there has been a recall and will be back in store in about 1-2 weeks maybe more i dont know

  • is this a good gaming phone overall does it play games like dead trigger well

  • Saturday night 26th I bought at North Jakarta Mall. Bonus SDHC Class 10 32GB. Good Performance & worth it.

  • Just got this phone, but I seem to be experiencing problems when trying to get the phone to "always ask" when making a call. sometimes it asks, but most times it just automatically selects which sim to call from. I have changed all the call setting to "always ask" and I even cleared all my contacts from both sim cards and moved them to the phone. I even tried switching one sim off and using the other, but then the phone forces me to switch the sim on before it will allow me to call certain contacts. I think this might be a glitch or maybe im just missing something...

  • Call settings does not seem to be working properly. It does not want to ask which SIM to use when making a call.think there might be a glitch with the settings.

  • Call settings does not seem to be working properly. It does not want to ask which SIM to use when making a call.think there might be a glitch with the settings.

  • bouth since 1 week, battery & Ram very week,

  • already launch in Indonesia with different specification : Internal Memory 16GB & RAM 2GB.

  • 2000mAh I read

  • i like the look but i dnt know about everything ..i am

  • oke .. your hope will be accepted by acer .. but the price is $ 380 .. won't you .. ??

  • What is battery power?

  • Lower battery then xperia m2 to, and they put a ridiculious app for easy pensionados/kids usage on it, who gets such sofisticated mobile to use it that way, am not to old for this chit, we not to old for this chit.) Unless its camera really impressive i would consider it over xperia m2.

  • the xperia m2 has lte support and costs in germany 279 �, the e3 will come in plus version with 2 GB ram, 16 GB rom for 249�, without LTE. So both should be good and you should choose depending on if LTE is important for you. I wonder why the M2 has no "PlayStation Certification" and if this means that the touch is laggy...

  • In Germany there will be an plus version, 2 GB ram and 16 GB rom for 249 �!

  • well for the at the moment xperia m2 is priced higher at 280 euros, so there is 80 euros difference. i think for people who are in tight budget it is worth it to go to acer E3. ^^

  • Me too

  • Acer cameras no good overall, wondering how this one will perform with f1.8 camera.., for price around 200 euros wich is about same range like xperia m2. Bolth available early april. It sure got my attention, who would go for this acer or xperia m2 is better choice ?

  • Surething, for new born babies.

  • this is a good mobile

  • well if this is price under £200, it will sell well. but, we will see

  • Hey! The phone's battery: 2000 maH.

  • I wonder if Acer fixed that 4gig onboard memory management fiasco that is on the Liquid E2 Let me remind you - they partinioned the 4gig so there is only 800meg available for your apps, but there is still a unusable blank 1.6gig on the phone Not all apps can be moved to the SD card - no response from Acer about this during the past year on many forums - they basically crippled the phone If they fixed it for this phone, it should be available for the E2 as well Otherwise stay clear - Acer support suck

  • It's a shame it only has 4GB internal storage and the not so fast processor

  • +1

  • back button is like LG G2...it have too... really suck phone, little change from e2 to e3... i will not change my e2 to e3

  • With these specs, I will definitely not change my E2 for an E3.....

  • whith this specs Acer Liquid E3 is suck, I hope beacuse new year 2014 new chip new display or this elementary specs: 1.Display.- 4.7 inch HD -- IGZO 2.Memory.- 2GB RAM 3.Chipset.- MediaTek MT6592 4.CPU.- OCTA-core 2 GHz

  • Why IPS LCD display :((, why not IGZO Retina display

  • TBD = To Be Determined ?

  • Hope it's a pretty good SoC, someone who nows?

  • Slim bezels, slim phone, nice design.. if the final specs are good it could be a very successful mid-ranger..

  • What is that on the back button?

  • What does TBD stand for???
