Casio G'zOne CA-201L - User Reviews

  • I have this hp ... but I use it when camping or into the jungle ... I am a special troop commando .. i most need this gadget it is resistant to water and shock ... for a suitable for army ... if the gamer or internet addict u must go only to samsung galaxy s10 or i phone

  • What??? I never knew Casio made phones! I thought they only made watches and keyboards!

  • Looks rugged but also classy even for a calculator maker it looks cool. 4.2

  • I wish Casio would continue to make phones like this and improve upon... It's not a bad phone and is actually very robust and made for normal people. Handles drops and water very well and it's camera, tho not a flagship one, does a better job than my kyocera but it's performance definitely lags when more than a few programs get installed. Room for improvement but wasn't a bad start.... Wish the galaxies I had could handle half the abuse this one can take.

  • where can i find the stock rom for this phone ? please help i need the flashing tool and the original rom for this phone

  • Nice phone,very responsive,root is easy,all in all an excellent rugged phone!

  • And watches, including the notorious G-Shock, clocks, compasses, and calculators. Cameras, electronic musical instruments, and finally calculators, and phones.

  • This phone was a disappointment. Yes, the case is water resistant and shock resistant. But the USB charging port breaks off pretty quickly making the water proofing a moot feature. Frequently freezes up. Poor performance. Was a big fan of G'zOne with the Boulder back in the days of flip phones but sadly the quality did not carry through.

  • I Want To Update My Phone To Lastest Vesion..

  • Contac me! I will sent you a vietnamese rom for this phone

  • How do I get Vietnam firmware for Casio G'zone CA-201L ?? Can you tell me pls ??

  • try to input your country code at first phone number, as replace with zero number ex: in my country Indonesia 085xxxxxxxx, change with +6285xxxxxxxx

  • So guys i bought this phone a few months ago, and i have been experiencing some problems with it. One of the problems is that my phone operator is bulgarian (this is also where i live) and my phone shows a message that it is constantly in roaming, therefore i can not use the megabytes that are on my card however i have no problems connecting to a wifi network. My second problem is with the messages. From time to time i cannot send messages it does not give any error or smth like this it just doesnt send the message.

  • I have this phone once. The Korean Version Brand new and full package. Including 2 spare battery and 1 portable charger for battery. It's hard to find this phone in my country. I've got this unlocked but with some restriction. GPS wont work and some features disabled. Then I flash to Vietnam Unofficial. It works GREAT! Despite of battery draining I Love it. Battery life when I use it for occasion is 6 - 8 hours. Sometimes it wont last 4 hour. But I manage to my battery with the portable charger. I bought 1 powerbank, when my 1st battery went out, I replace with 2nd battery fully charged. then I charge my 1st battery with portable charger that connected to powerbank. I know it's complicated, but it doesn't bother me. And I must carry small bag everywhere to put my battery replacement. I almost never use USB port on the phone except for data transfer. Flashing and rooting all is from the inside SDCard. I must sell this phone because I must change to dual simcard phone. So far this phone is real rugged. Only after u use it for long time, the matte black paint of phone body will be more glossy. because the rubber getting broken and shows the plastic inside. So I suggest u to buy jelly case or something to protect it.

  • An alien phone

  • There are two models available for Casio G'zOne 1. CA-201L (Asia) - Comes with InfraRed (Red outer casing) 2. C811 4G LTE (US Verizon) without InfraRed (Black outer casing) Rest all the specifications are same.

  • Why i cant change the language from korean language to english...and also cannot send a message..its?not easy for me to use this...

  • Unbelievable ! I thought Casio only make Calculators..

  • not user friendly...problem with its sms specialy sending text messages to other smartphones the message says "null" i think this phone should only be used within korea...waste of money...

  • please am from Nigeria. finding difficulty in using g one. always asking me that my sim will not be compatible with the phone that i should replace another sim. specifically " data can not use in roaming. please use global roaming menu in setting" that's the error massage always displaying pls help? my mail is ([email protected]).

  • Update your phone,and then reset it!

  • My Phone is slow How to update

  • My Phone is slow How to update

  • My Phone is slow How to update

  • do not buy this phone in Korea, warning, mobile data does not work which is useless to be a smartphone

  • Just wanted to make it clear one last time Infrared "gate"(two way infrared) is located under the power button i believe and its only available on the japanese version of this phone.

  • be careful. If you buy if from Corea your sim will be always in roaming. Check to operate in your country.

  • Could this modelo be unlocked to be used on other coutries?

  • The sound of my g'zone CA-201L is my problem after I try to wash it with water then after that the sound is not working

  • Just bought Casio G'z one and is working fine but when i try to login to gmail or play store it gives the error that your phone does not allow the access for data transfer.What the problem and remedy???I connected to internet via wifi All other apps like facebook chat etc are working perfectly.

  • IR gate is located under the power button i believe and its only available on the japanese version of this phone.

  • here you can find Custom ROM for Casio CA201-L if have any problem feel free to contact me: [email protected]

  • Hello! Where did you find the custom ROM for the phone? Does it solve the sms problem? Thanks a lot!

  • Hello! Does any user of the phone knows a way to fix the sms send problem? Any way to update the phone to Android 4.4? Thanks :)

  • I have this phone since september. Pro: + Battery spare bonus + Desktop charger for battery + Nice GUI + Great Performance + Good battery performance (using custom ROM)(8 hours normal use 3G) + Rugged + Great Apps from G'zOne Con: - Poor Battery Performance on default ROM (6 hours normal use 3G) - Getting hot more fast when play Game ( two or three race of 5 laps of real racing 3 so total is 15 laps) - Poor camera performance at night - Flashlight for camera is not automatic on when the shutter push - Poor front camera (dark at night even inside room with the light on)

  • Casio G'Zone has english and spanish languages and menu.

  • I can't find ir port on it. Who can help me to use it.

  • it seems that this phone specs for these price are very nice! i want to know if everyone knows this phone will work ok to greece? please answer me

  • Also i just wanted to point out something equally important. Some models of the CA-201L that DO have Infrared do not have NFC or atleast it is not turned on. However THEORETICALLY using a "coin" y-combinator backed project card from the coin project you would be able to achieve full tx/rx NFC plug and play by putting the card behind the battery compartment. You could also achieve the same thing (tx only) using any NFC based credit card.

  • THERE *IS* full InfraRed and InfraRed GATE (tx/rx) on the CA-201L version of this phone those of you saying there is no infrared please do your homework of which phone you are indeed commending on. The CA-201L (asian version of the Commando L LTE) has infrared! Please see It is for communication only. But since the filesystem in android is based off linux it could easily be used for com bursting (remote control as well). Again. Please stop saying this phone doesn't have infrared you have no idea what you're talking about.

  • There is no inferared port in this phone, kindly remove it from specs. Thanks & best regards, Mortal Eternity!

  • There is no inferared in this phone... kindly remove it from specs Thanks Mortal Eternity!
