  • I'm phone is weak. How to stop it from log?

  • it's very simple gadget and don't put many apps into it or you'll get problem many many times..

  • pls good people help me big problem invalid imes,just bought this manchine,help,help.......

  • Im Using Acer Liquid Z120 is good but i have trouble in keyboard

  • I have similar issue as well. How to fix it?

  • i have use this phone for 4 months and seriously this phone quite good actually..i have installed many apps (yea i'm student and u know how many apps i used) didn't expect too many negative feedback from all of you.use clean master to remove unnecessary files in your device to avoid bugging..and actually every phone even expensive phone need to do that.. simple and easy..:)

  • Ok, i got this phone for almost a year and its crap! First rooting took me hours, then i realized: Use Kingo Root! It works fast and easy! But my second problem; My screen just bugs if its getting 35 degrees or more. And my battery drains too fast!

  • I used this phone less then 6 months. Yes, it was laggy as hell. But after I removed some unnecessary application it is not lag anymore. Now it never has problem except its small screen. It is not too small tho, but now I just need bigger screen.

  • umm I used this smartphone more than a years and it was very lag. when I touch the screen it always opening the other application that I won't to open. looks like an error between the touchscreen and it screen. fix it!

  • umm I used this smartphone more than a years and it was very lag. when I touch the screen it always opening the other application that I won't to open. looks like an error between the touchscreen and it screen. fix it!

  • This phone is not that bad. Well if you don't want it to be laggy, then you should delete unnecessary apps. I did it, and it's not that laggy anymore. The price is very cheap, and I still a teenage who has not a job yet and do not have much money. Not that bad guys.

  • yes. it can play any games :)

  • the best Stupid phone ever

  • I just bought it. It says there is a firmware update.. I installed it and device says update complete. When I went to system no changes has been made and Also there is still this "update" available. Z120 4.1.1 Kernel 3.4.0 Anyone can tell me?

  • Very slow and quite lag! especially when typing. and launcher always suddenly stop, and u need to restart. very Disappointed.

  • when it is charging you cannot open it and texting ,sometimes the memory card hard to detect, and when it slide to open it and click the image of icon the result was different very dissapointed .

  • I have it since half a year. It serves basic purposes as a smartphone - it was cheapest at the time I bought it. It is as slow as all other very low end smartphones. I had(still has) few problems with it: First it broke when it suddenly without any good reason slowed down 100 times and worked in veeery slow motion, still worked but even starting the phone took more then 48 hours (!!), got repaired on warranty, supposedly by reinstalling system. Second and still since, it sometimes looses connection with gsm operators, also with no reason, sometimes can show that it has connection, while in reality it hasn't, after powering down and back up the phone it reestabilishes connection.

  • yep install a memory card and set that as the default download location. see previous post for details.

  • i fitted an official sandisk 32gb micro sdhc card( careful of cheap slow fakes that self destruct after 2gb worth of downloads!) in mine, formatted with panasonic sd card formatter 4.0. once put into the phone, switch it on, after booting , go to the settings and set memory card as the default download location. if you then try running the updates ( 3 of them) you should find it installs fine. it updates to the latest jellybean for UK customers. Hope this is helpful. Kind regards Shabz

  • I just got this 3 days ago, but i have a problem, whenever i try to open the camera it says, "cannot open the camera. is this a factory defect?

  • I have the same issue.. do you have solution?

  • you should try update the Phone with an sd card installed. as i remember correctly, the error message you get says: not enough storage for update INSTAL SD CARD

  • Why i can't update the system ? When it tryes, it says that there's not enough free momory, at least 70 mb, ... but i have more... ?!? please smbdy help me :D !!!

  • No..it not a dual core smartphone

  • It's hard to ditch this phone. I tried but I just found other phones would be too costly just to fulfill basic needs in Android system. I have a Blackberry 9900 and still using it a lot, and it seems to be an overkill to have Android phones, while I'm still stuck with BBM contacts. This phone is cheap, adequately designed and built, the camera performs reasonably terrific (HDR is quite well, except when the lighting is way below normal). Wifi and connection has very slight problem but not always. It can lag if you try to install loads of apps, which came to my attention that I just used too many apps that erode my productivity instead. Not particularly excited about the look. I bought the black backcover version, should've gone with the white one like I had with Z110. The only thing that bugs me constantly is the resolution which seems low with the Roboto font (Android 4+ default). It would be acceptable should it be using the old Droid font. But nevertheless it's already 165ppi. I have similar pleasant experience with Z110, so I think Acer is the right phone to buy if you need a basic Android phone. So far easy way of rooting the phone failed, have to go through the complicated one but just too lazy to do that because all I want to do is just to change the default font.

  • I've tried on sony xperia tipo and some phones of china and have same problem like you are, can't be root

  • 69 euro now with the Phonehouse, unlocked, in Holland

  • Can I have the tut on how to root this phone please?

  • How do you root your phone?

  • How do i got this phone rooted?

  • Have this phone, rooted, perm sim unlock, tweaked OS, great performance for this low price phone ...

  • yes , but you have to copy it in the ringtones folder

  • can i set a ringtone another that the phone have?

  • it hangs most of the time... net? very slow to connect even the wifi is just near to you

  • I'f got this phone for about a year now & indeed besides the batt. i think it's a good deal for it's price !I had the Z1 before & that was another story !

  • yes it can .play temple run and subway becuz its a dual core smartphone :)

  • why my acer liquid always in roaming mode?

  • good phone... match the prize could not expected any less

  • i bought acer z120 before 3month in france when i browsing internet in this phone the phone is shutdown and after i can not open the app only. the phone is shown as in display as acer, what can i do how reinstall software, please

  • i have this phone and just use for internet browsing. some time the touch screen is not functioning well. (like hk jam) the problem will solve just press the power button to off the screen, sweep the screen by hand, then turn it on again. ** luckly i not use the phone function, if not, i think i will miss some call if the above problem occur. any one facing problem like me? any solution?

  • i got this one over 3 months ago, good specs but the battery easily drains and it always hang when i browse. however, it is still good phone for a cheaper price :)

  • the price is low and the features are nice but im disappointed about the battery..I always have to charge it everyday even I dont use it at all..

  • What kind of keypad does it have?

  • got this 1 yesterday. but it cannot read my micro SD.. had try it on others phone, it's okay.. could somebody help me?

  • Cannot start the phone after shut down.Very disappointing.

  • Is true z2 got four GB storage n 512 ram 1ghz CPU.low prices phone no bad...just the battery can't work for long time ~

  • Is true tis phone got 4gb n 512 ram low price n run de Android jelly bean no bad to buy one...

  • i want to buy this phone since my laptop is acer too. bust many comments here are worst. do i?

  • i want to buy but i seems many comments here are bad. so do i?

  • Battery life is awefull, overall not a bad phone for a budget phone. my last experience with a low end smartphone was the original wildfire and this is heaps better. Cant run a few apps but I think this is due to lack of front facing camera ie snapchat. Im pretty happy with my phone but cant wait to upgrade to a high end android phone

  • sorry but i dn't recmmend this phone,, i bought this phone 3 months ago and now it just freezes out everytime i boot it.. it happened when it get stuck while im browsing.. there are also problems with display, there is a tiny glare at the corner of display in one side.. and the audio fades sometimes,, sound quality is obviously pooorr... so sad bcoz i thought this phone is going to be good bcoz of the specs... so baddddd

  • Wooohoooooooooooo................its awesome device dude................... havin great experience............. :-O

  • it's true, i just brought it 10 minutes ago and it has 4gb, it's pretty cool but i am still testing it

  • How about the internal storage of this phone?? base on the specs 4GB..i want know if thats true..m planning to buy this phone this coming august..anyone can answer my question??

  • i did not try it

  • Please, can someone explain me what it means: Camera Primary 3 MP/5MP (in the description of the phone)??? Thanx

  • no, i don't have any problem with wi fi. but, 512Mb RAM is to small 4 me. still need time to load an appliction

  • wifi on this phone works great, no problem at all

  • Anyone have wifi problem? Please reply!

  • does anyone have problem with Home Key Jammed like Z110?

  • just asking..is there anyone got prolem with the memory like z110

  • can play temple run 1 and 2? and Subway Surfer as well? if its yes,, Im gonna buy this phone right away.

  • Z2 is very best! SRS sound is good! 5 star i give for this phone! better gadget!

  • I just bought this phone. its realy good. The only prob im facing is "how to activate mms' ? cos this phone model was set up under nokia c1..

  • Can this phone play temple run or gta

  • Yes you can, I tried it using Google Maps. But it is very very very difficult. Then I change to Waze, it was pretty easy to rotate and zoom.

  • Have you tried changing the channel of your Wifi network? Channels set by default in Wifi routers are often overused. You can try the Wifi Analyzer app to visualise your Wifi environment. Changing your channel is most of times done in the web administration page of your Wifi router.

  • I am looking for you user experience with Google Maps and Google Earth on this smartphone. Especially, is it possible to rotate the map using the two finger rotation gesture? (just replying yes or no will be enough if you don't want to elaborate)

  • It's a nice phone smooth UI and support hdr photo taking z120

  • Hold the power button and volume down at the same time to print screen

  • actually you 'can'. you can use hangout for video call. but for the other party to see you, you must hold your phone so the camera will face you. and you have to activate the camera first by clicking the camera button on hangout application.

  • all feature in this android phone is good..the newest version android(jelly bean)..its a cheap smartphone,its better from samsung if you compare frm the price..but the biggest trouble is coming from the battery,specially if you pen the internet..even i have to charge my phone battery for 3 times in a day..

  • u cant do a video call but we chat works excellently on the device..whatsapp too work fine.

  • do a factory reset n download wifi booster...wa la!! u r done..

  • this phone is amazing low budget android jelly bean! must have smartphone. bought it from lazada online store!

  • For video chats, you need a phone with a FRONT OR SECONDARY camera. I think this model does nor have one..

  • Just bought this phone few days ago, but I am having problem with the wifi connectivity which is very troublesome and keep getting disconnected from wifi. Just wonder if software bug. Any comment how to solve this?

  • can i make a video in this phone?...or can i used skype or we chat application? thanks!

  • actually, you can print screen using standard android method by pressing Lock Button and Volume Down Button at the SAME TIME, you MUST HOLD it about 2 seconds. As for the battery, try to use Wifi rather than Data while you can, and use "Wifi Timer" app for conserve the battery while you sleep.

  • Is it worth buying.I'm planning to buy but don't know if its a good one.please help.its only 100euro ib kijk shop

  • I am using this phone. In overall, it's no big problem. The only weakness is can't print screen and battery consume power too fast.

  • You can't use the external SD card for applications unless you root the device. Unfortunately, up until now, i can't find any rooting guide for the acer liquid Z2 on the internet... Apps like link2SD don't work, because the phone recognizes the internal memory as being SD memory. The internal memory is not a lot, because with the basic apps and android, you have about 1.3GB left for extra applications. Besides that it's a good phone. We'll just have to wait a while until a root guide is developed.

  • It was a good phone the first couple of weeks, but the battery started to play up. Charged it in the morning and was dead a couple of hours later. I took it back and got a refund. I won't be buying this phone again.

  • why why why im feeling so stupid right now.. i should look up for this phone before buying the crappy asha 311.. :(

  • Acer z2 it looks a good phone,all acer products l bought, long time lasting user, but cheap has problem, wifi connection acer z2,bad issue.

  • the best phone with 4.1.1 Jelly Bean 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7227A MTK6575M 5MP Camera..All in one word..Superb!!

  • hi.. this phone was excellent.. since last month. there is no issue at all. plus the function to auto off and auto on. the phone was worth to buy compare to ather cheap phone.

  • I bought this phone last week about 150 USD, with extended warranty to 2-3 years. I have used some phone as nearly same priced as this, and i have to say that this phone is the best of its kind. I've compare this to iPod Touch 4's graphic quality, and iPod won! But for performance, Z2 is better. The only disadvantages are the battery life and multitasking. In conclusion, Z2 or Z120 is a best budget phone in the market right now (May 2013).

  • hi this phono's battery is good or no. 1 day or 2 day

  • i want buy this phone.Acer Liquid Z2's battery long life or no

  • i just bought this phone yesterday. overall its awesome. the 3g work fine. no home keyjammed. dual sim work perfectly. fast response. I even use this phone to watch 720p video with almost 1gb without problem. nothing come spesial with the camera cause of the price.
