Cat S50

Anonymous

Yes it is sluggesh. Restarts on own all the tim and will repeatedly send the same text to someone over and over...what's up with that?

Josh

Very poorly designed. They designed it to be waterproof, and shockproof, but neglected things like functionality, memory, processing speed, etc. And then completely forgot to put any protection on the screen, a slightly raised rubber lip around it would have been all it took. I had it freeze up on me a few months ago and the only way to reset it was to completely tear the phone apart and pull the battery wire off the main board. It just needed a hard reset, but this was the only way to do it. Then today, the phone got knocked out of my hand, cracked the digitizer and screen. The parts cost more than half as much as the phone cost me new. I've only had it a few months, but it is going in the trash. I've honestly gotten better results with the free phones from straight talk. Absolute junk.

Worst phone. Camera not clear and can't update system.

Got cat s50 .few years ago very slow and hangs bad not a smooth running device..now got iPhone it runs smooth and fast.

I had it on dtc wireless and their saying it cannot be connected to any other server.and dtc went out of business.now phone worthless.

GABRIEL

crash screen and cant replace it, making phone useless

Sab

Broke the screen after a year, battery stopped working after about 2. Extremely slow and very little space with all their filler applications preinstalled.

Flo

OK, finally broke the screen after 2 years, sitting on it with a scrawdriver in the rearpocket... Fell hundreds of times before, without a crack, including in water. But yes, its was slow (even for basic application like pdf editing) and add difficulties to connect to network (but no problem with Bluetooth or GPS, all over the world). The worse desagreement was (is?) that the phone was heating so much as the SD cards became inoperative (too bad when you put your maps in the card and try to use navigation apps, and when you realize that you have to choose between music OR internet during travel). And yes, CAT support is worst than one can imagine, so now, I going to look for another brand if I can't repair my CAT...

catttt

its the best phone ever!! never broke!

The phone can be quiet slow at times , should not be considered as a smart phone at all its engine needs serious work .. interms of durability its one of the best of its kind , it can take a serious beating

Cat S50 recovary mode not comeing please help me

These phones are very rugged and can definitely take a beating. The one thing I do not like is mine can be slow and laggy many many times a day. Other than that, I am very impressed with this phone and the durability of it.

Anonymous

I wouldn't recommend the cat s50 at all. I have owned it for a year now and the screen has cracked twice with being occasionally dropped in everyday use - no harsh treatment at all. The first repair took so long I won't bother fixing it now. Also the side cover is peeling off near the charger port and the SD card port is acting up and losing contact with the card. The software is very glitchy and the GPS is poor in rural areas. I can't see how this is considered a rugged military spec phone as it can't compare to any other rugged phone I have owned. Perhaps it should be given to the enemy forces.

my s 50 wont start up n i have been charging it for so long n stil not wanted to start up,what can the problem be

Kevin

Bought this phone when it first come out in November 2014. It's been a excellent phone and taken a lot of drops and bangs. I have broken one screen but to be fair I left the phone on the bumper of my truck. Where I found the phone in a ditch it would have come of the bumper at approximately 35-40mph and it only cracked the screen and was still working. I have no issues with this phone would recommend to anyone but the only problem I have is I have just broken the screen again plus the lcd behind as well. I can buy replacement glass screen anywhere but the lcd is hard to get hold of and still currently looking for one. So phone is excellent but replacement parts are hard to come by for this model and cat don't answer my emails

AnonD-612797

So many negative comments about this phone... are you sure you guys bought the original thing? I mean, i have mine now for almost 2 years and no complaints. I work in the construction and we build oil and gas refineries. I've been in the deserts of Saudi and Algeria with this phone. This phone in my opinion is a survivor!!! Just imagine my daily work in the harshest climate: Extreme temperatures, sand storm, dirt, sweat and i had this phone all along... not to mention 1 time when i was climbing the safety ladder and it slipped out my pocket, accidentally dropped on the pipes below and then to the concrete pavement (about 8 feet in height) and it works fine, just minor scratches on the corner. So yeah, no BS, this thing leaves up to its name. CATERPILLAR.. tough equipment, tough shoes, and yes tough phones. Now they have released the new CAT S60 and i can't wait to get my hands on that badboy.

Semi content user

I really love this phone for its toughness, especially cause I keep dropping my phones on the floor and this one works still even after countless drops :) Although there is one thing that really gets on my nerves. If the phone drops on the screen hard enough the microphone will get disconnected. And it really is a bother cause since it happend for the first time, about 9 month ago, I have to take to repair shop about every 3 month. And there is no display warning it happend, I just make a call, or recieve one, and the person on the other side can´t hear me. Wish it could be permanently fixed somehow :/

Noname

Look, why are you all telling shit about this phone, that i know it is not true. I know this because i am using this phone for about a year and a half now. Yes its true that i had my lcd and mobo changed, but it was for free and now its all good. Its not laggy, i can play high end games like asphalt 8 on high settings with no problem... and the lcd quality isnt realy that bad, its decent I bet that you had ever neither that seen this phone. The same thing was for lenovo k5 note, it was the worst phone for users on gsm arena and it turned out to be great phone with no problems at all. It realy bothers me that you post comments like this, so when you are buying the phone and you see that comments it turns you away. Your are just jelaous.

Fone man

Real dope fone, use 4 everything. Dropped in toilet still works like new yo!!11!

knowit

Im using it for a while with no problems, I guess you shouldn't let the battery drop below 10% or if it turns off by loss of power it may have some problems turning on. Any way put it on a charger,a after 5mins press power key and + and - button on the opposite side, it should turn on. Try some updates etc. That's about it...

AnonD-576368

Worst phone I've ever owned, it started falling apart after a week, and I cracked the screen in a month just by keeping it in my pocket at work with the screen facing in. When I tried to get the phone fix the customer service was horrible, and I eventually just gave up and bought another phone.

AnonD-576123

My husband purchased this phone in January 2016 and it has never worked. First he couldn't answer any calls coming in. Took it into the store where we purchased it and they were puzzled too but eventually got it working. Then he couldn't make any calls so again took it to the store and again they got it working after an hour of trying and leaving it with them. One day it got wet and so we took it back into the store and they sent it for repairs. They repair center would not repair it even though it was still under warranty. We were told to ensure the clip on the side is always closed which is always has been or it wouldn't be covered. The CAT site says it is "waterproof for up to 60 seconds (1 min) at a depth of 3.5ft" Well it isn't. It was not in 3.5ft of water and not for 1 min. When it got wet, it was picked up within 2 seconds. This is a very expensive phone that doesn't live up to what it is marketed as. The site also says it is military standard. If the military is using a similar phone, they better get another. The CAT phone sucks. I contacted CAT and told them of the situation but have not heard back yet. Don't buy this phone.

Marko

Might be rugged but don't get it wet. I'm a bartender and dropped my Cat s50c into a tub of iced bottled beers. Phone wasn't in there more than 10 seconds and the screen went black. Back of the phone was hot and a short while later could see condensation in the back camera lens. Mil Spec? Not. Going back to a Kyocera Brigadier,

Hi Guys, I need help. Phone CATS50. I turned on TALKBACK option. I can't find option Turn OFF. In settings menu I don't have option Accessibility. Who knows where I can find it. It's killing me. Thanks in advance

AnonD-566064

First the good: this phone has a decent screen and is reasonably rugged. Now the bad: the phone freezes up all the time with a dark screen sometimes in the middle of a call, it is very glitchy and loses GPS signal in the middle of town, won't connect to cell towers unless I turn it on and of repeatedly. Also the camera is just really poor quality, too. Because it is running on an older OS, many apps do not work properly. At any given point, my kids' i phones pull up data much quicker, and we're all on the same plan. Finally because I wasn't able to buy this phone through T Mobile, I have virtually no support. The CAT support is truly useless. They have no idea how the phone works. I can't wait to get a different phone, this POS just stresses my day out to no end. Smart phones are supposed to help us not hurt us.

Capt danny

This is the worst phone I have ever owned. The phone won't hold a charge, it not as rugged as they say. The support is useless they gave me a bogus number. They don't sell but one charger for the phone.u give them your number and they are supposed to call u back and they don't.this phone is a joke. My 4s battery last longer than this phone. Do it homework I don't advise getting this phone.if they helped me out I might think differently.but their attitude is once they sell the phone it your problem. I would get a cheap phone from Walmart before I would get this phone. I am not even going to give it the lowest rating. good luck....

Has anyone had trouble with the touch screen..? Mine was perfectly fine till one day reset by his own then start restarting over and over again the touch screen stop responding and battery went out in a couple of hours with the phone really hot. It has been 5 months since I bought it and havent heard from CAT either becouse they coudent get the parts here...

Is there any way for hard reset the cat s50?

AnonD-524490

You don't like listening to music, or taking on the phone, because you simply cannot hear it, regardless of the "Waves audio system." They advertise "wet finger tracking" but I feel a better name would be "Damp finger tracking." I have experienced these problems with 3 separate phones, so I doubt I've just had a faulty phone.

AnonD-524490

My S50 worked great. For a little while. The waterproofing seems good, and dropping it normally doesn't break it, however I did have it fall about 2 feet and shatter once. I'm actually on my third S50, still under the original warranty. Twice it has been frozen with a blank screen (possibly off?) and had to be shipped back to Cat. Best part is, 4 or 5 months will go by, and neither me nor my carrier hear back from Cat. My carrier has given me a free phone twice because of this. As far as general day to day usage, I hope y

Best phone I've owned. Responsive and durable. Only problem is I fiddled with the usb covers too much and they fell off - just don't do that :). Yes SD card writing seems a problem, but can read from it, so if you can put videos on it and play them back.

Oh gee, aside from being unable to download apps onto my SD card I love this durable phone. There is no other phone I know that has a touchscreen feature while simultaneously acting as an indestructible smart phone AND the screen was made tough against abrasions.

Useless in every way except you cant deliberately break it Maybe if I can get CAT D10R Dozer to ride over it then it will get a scratch or something Camera - pointless Memory & Storage - why bother Twin Sim(as per the box) - Where? Shuts down voluntarily - has a setting to prevent this which doesnt work, why was it there in the first place? Dust Resistant - what is that? Had it for a year now and its sittng in the cupboard as a spare phone Will maybe to use it on site to tear down walls and vibrate concrete

is it gps or navigation i this model??

Had it for a few months now. Even when I first got it, it's kinda slow and laggy. Camera is basically pointless. Shuts down on its own. Not reliable at all.

Pierre

Worse phone I ever owned. Camera sucks. Buttons in the wrong place. Have to shut off data and restart it almost every time I want to do wireless. Touchscreen is either too responsive or not responsive enough. I also had to shutdown problem but it got over that. Spell check crappy. No good user info. Only thing good about this phone is that it is pretty rugged. Unfortunately I can't break it to get a different phone.

Please don't waste your time or money on this phone. I had mine of 8 days now and its the biggest mistake that I made and will have to live with for two years. The signal quality is not great at all. Tonight my phone had 80% power and while I was on the phone it died. There is no way to get it on again. Now I will have to see how the aftersale service is.

You need to format the card using one of those free fat32 formating tools on a pc (windows refuses to format memory cards or flashdrives larger than 32GB to fat32, only ntfs and exfat are available). Android doesn't support ntfs or exfat by default, and all microsdxc cards are formatted to exfat by default. I'm using 64GB microsdxc formatted to fat32 on my old samsung galaxy s2.

plug your S50 into your computer and manually move your pictures from your internal hard drive to your SD card. you can still view them/play them, you just cant move them with the phone alone. its not CAT's fault its the OS KIT KAT's security measure.

I have had the same issues with mine. It had me butt dial 911 once when I was mowing the grass. Also, the screen won't come on from time to time causing me to have to restart the phone.

I have the Cat B15 and I love this phone. I've put it in a drain pan full of oil, threw it across my shop, and dropped it from the top of a semi trailer. I'm looking to find a new phone to with stand the same torture, and want to know if the S50 is a good choice to go with?

Mac

As an Active Duty Military man, I'm not satisfied with this phone. It is water proof, but if dropped at all the covers that seal the USB port and SIM card comes out. Also, my 1 year old dropped the phone on concrete about 5 feet and the screen is now cracked. This phone has no external buttons on the front, it causes me to constantly but dial people all the time, its frustrating. The method of searching for contacts for call purposes vs text purposes is aggravating also. This phone was a waste of money compared to what is available these days.

Greetings! The Cat S50 is a reliable good android Phone. I only got one Question regarding the SD Card. Mine works fine with a micro sd 64 gb from samsung. THe only problem ist with the standard music app from android and vlc the music is starts for about a few seconds, than buffering for 10-15 sec. and returning. This happens every time. I earse the cache before, shutting down all aps. My thougth was, maybe there is a prolem with the cache, or a whole album is to big, but when seeing a video from the sd no lags or Problems appear. Does anyone know a Soulution? (btw when playing music from the phone memory it does not buffering)

SIM/sd card issue was solved by filing 1mm of sd card and sim card by a nail file. It seems that those cards prevent the hatch from closing tightly, after removing 1mm, the hatch closes perfectly. N-joy

AnonD-367701

I solved the sim/sd hatch issue with a small piece of isolation tape. That hatch is a joke! Also som bugs in settings when set to my native language, but I can live with that. The pre-installed google-camera APP is poor. Camera works better with other apps. Design is cool, operations are smooth, wifi is excellent, gsm connection is supreme. Love that Android OS is almost untouched! But Bullit Mobile (whoom actually made the phone) should feel pretty embarrassed by that sim/sd hatch!!

Worst phone I ever had! I like durable models (Sony Xperia go, Samsung B2100 Xplorer, Nokia 5140i etc.) and I am ready because of it to endure some minor inconvenience in using of such phones, but CAT S50 is beyond any criticism!!!

I ordered this phone and have had it for about 2 weeks now. I bragged so much about it to my fellow active duty military people. Now I want to give it away. The tabs that should keep the ports sealed are not that great, they seem to not seat properly. The time has changed for no reason and I cannot change it. I got up late because the alarm did not sound and when I notice the phone's time, it said the time was 20:40 on the 6th day of February when actually it was 0600 February 20. I've tried to correct this issue and have not figured it out. The world time is correct. I'm in Florida and it is set for eastern time so I don't know what else to do to fix this. Huge disappointment.

Well peep that own this phone will know what I'm talking- sim and sd slot is a biggest joke!!! CAT you have to fire whole test management team! Basically phone ruggedness is useless because after smallest drop it almost pops out! I'M SURE WATER WILL COME INTO THIS PHONE. And I mean droping phone from your trousers pocket onto carpet not droping from five store BUILDING on concrete. Camera - also makes me laugh but I don't care about camera, this phone was build for other purposes but sadly CAT you have to recall all phones and build phone that does what you claim it does or change this slot closing design. If you ask me - buy this phone - no way! Idea of this phone is brilliant - size, looks and rest are good but because of this slot closing problem I simply afraid to drop into watter, it must not be like that. P. S noticed a lot of complains about sd card not working but on my phone sd card 64 GB class 10 works no problem.

Hello. In reply to all the below as yet I still can't find a file manager that actually lets me transfer photos to the SD card. The SD card works fine in other devices and I can still import photos to the phone from the SD card but there is no exporting option within android or any of the file managers. So for example when I follow another person doing it on their Samsung the process is the same obviously but when it comes to actually moving the files there is no button to do it where there is on other devices. Strange to say but the 'area' where the transfer button is or should be is there but the actual button isn't almost as if there is a block.

AnonD-361788

Are u facing any problem with the SD card?

Cornel

I don't own this phone, but I owned several other Android phones. While it's true you can move apps to SD only from some phones, I haven't found any phone where you can't move images and other files to the SD. If there is no file manager installed by default, you can download one from the Play Store. My personal favorite is "Total Commander", but it might be a bit geeky for some

LiudasLT

Try to go to Settings, than Storage. In there should be Default write disk option :) By the way - you can try File Expert file manager.

AnonD-359476

No you can't, regardless of the phone. It's a limitation set to Android phones from 4.2 onwards, and you have to root your phone and do some tweaks to make saving apps to SD a possibility.

I am an avid Apple fan and was looking to upgrade to their most recent product but decided as it wasn't much different to the last product I would look elsewhere for my next phone and ended up with the CAT S50. Personally I think it is a great phone. Its lovely in the hand, very good looking, and light but strong. This is my first android phone and I am very pleased with how user friendly it is as well and android is android so I don�t feel I need to comment on the operating system particularly. The phone is quick and I have no problems with uploading / downloading and the in app speed and swiftness of the phone is brilliant. The camera is not amazing but this is my phone not my camera so for those general quick photos on a day to day basis the camera is more that adequate. The screen is good and the variable brightness works absolutely fine. The Qi Wireless charging is great and I suffer no problems with that and in truth the battery on it is brilliant. I have had just over 3 days on one charge with normal usage which I think is great. My only annoyance is the memory. The phone comes with only 8GB of memory which leaves in real terms only about 4 ½ GB left. Thankfully there is space though for a microSD card which can expand the memory up to 64GB... Unfortunately though after buying a new SD card I have found that you can�t actually use it. So for example I have a 32GB SD card installed, the phone recognises it but there is no way to move apps or photos to the SD card. Unlike other android devices where you can download some stuff straight to the SD card or have photo/video settings set that all photos or videos go straight to the SD card freeing the phone itself up. This is not an option on this phone, I have tried various file manager apps as well and none of those seem to be able to do it either. This bugs me as part of the selling point which attracted me was a new phone with potential 64GB of memory. But this isn�t the case. Would I have still got the phone if I knew this in advance? Probably not. But now owning the phone I sit on the fence with it. I really like the phone I do think its great... 8GB is not enough for me and I wish the microSD card could actually be used easily on the phone like other devices. If anyone has a clue on how to fix this issue by all means let me know. That is all.

Has any owner of this phone had luck with the microSD reading? Any type and size? Thanks

maddog

Has anyone tried the QI wireless charging option. Im considering buying a charge pad but dont want to waste money. Im a bit worried that the charge flap is eventually going to break, then the phone is no longer water/dust proof(one of the reasons I bought it)

I meant to say. Hard to tell in the dark.

I like the phone. My biggest complaint is the micro SD. I tried a sandisk 8gb didn't see it. Formatted it still no. Tried a generic 512k card and it would tell me that it was removed unexpectedly. Tech support was no help, just gave the turn on/turn off blah blah. One more small thing is that the buttons are almost flush with the phone and is symmetrical, so its hard to figure which way is up, unless it doesn't matter. Stillnlike the phone even with these flaws. Midwest US location.

Hi, the camera is the only weak point to this phone, otherwise I am very satisfied.

AMIN

assus

AMIN

I really would just hope that there'd be a phone which could handle winter temperatures of Northern Europe. -25c is not enough. I assume it'll work in -35 too, but with a 400�+ phone I'd rather just be sure.

AnonD-334752

Estik

Had the phone a week now, it comes with google stuff(basically stock android near to no bloatware) the battery lasts for ages was playing age of civilisations(a game) for 6hrs and still %70 battery left. Everything is very quick, havent had a single problem so far. its a huge upgrade from the B15Q in every way. The screen has excellent view angles(or it might just be my special 3M screen protector) but i can see it clearly at every angle. recomend using a Qi charger making it easier to recharge(USB has a cover).

Just

Its not 8 GB internal memory. Its 5.6 GB. Its 7.7 mega pixel camera. MicroSD card with divice is not working

Remis

The cover for SD and SIM card is disaster for such phone!!! It sometimes leap out even without falling down to ground! i think that, before normal outdoor trip i must glue up it with silicon or something like that, because water will definetely reach phone. Other thing a quite good, i like almost everything, but than slot,rrr, i even dont have worlds...

...

Hi, how to connect micro sd card(32GB) to the device? I can not adjust automatic uploading of images and videos from device to card...

Classyman

The only two things i didn't like about this mobile, first it takes only one sim card comparing to the B150q which its daule ,and the second thing the battery is not removable.

Pongstorn

I like this phone , but i wait to make decision from user comment , and who can tell me in thailand whare can buy this phone ... Thanks

barm

Screen with quite poor angle of visibility i agree with that, phone quite big but i hoped more from battery life, some problems with wifi, but i think it came from buggy kitkat, hope soon will be updated to lollipop, but can't find information about that

I've had it for a week now and I like it.. a little too big for me, using with one hand is not very convenient. However big screen is good for browsing and gps(which is very fast). Also, this is one of the fastest androids I've ever touched (comparing with samsung S4 for example). Camera quality is also good enough, video recording and snapshotting is very quick if there is enough light, otherwise you might have focusing troubles as usual.Battery lasts for at least two days with normal use. Reception could be better, but I have not run into any troubles.

gugu

Very long life battery , lightweight , poor camera.

Cat Fan

I'm still waiting to test this device. Currently own Lumia 625 and I'm satisfied with it, previously had iPhone 3gs and now contemplating purchasing Cat with Android OS. Its very unique design makes it interesting amongst other handset users and pretty good option to choose from. Looking forward to seeing more comments on this from Cats users.

Matjazz

Thumbs up for led light. Screen is TFT as on CAT B15 which has very poor angle visibility. Hopefully S50 will be better at that.

mee

No DualSIM version?? Why? So i cant upgrade my Cat S15 with low-memory :(

mmmmmm

I watched the Unboxing so the battery is 2600 ma and the wight is 140 g .
