  • Can I use in India this dubai mobile g smart mi

  • pls mucha help me!! how to up adjust mic volume on gsmart simba sx1 ?? tnx

  • Hi guys, great day! I know this phone seems to be quite good one as far as the cost is concerned. Now I have a problem with dual sim. Sim1 slot is meant for 3G connectivity. Now I tried with sim2 slot with mobile data as I set sim2 as default one. Upon noticing sim1 slot is not working for network connection with mobile data. Now I reset sim1 to the phone default but still the mobile data is not working. When I switch the data on still the internet connection is not available. Sim2 works well but its very slow, because it is 2G. Sim1 for making/receiving call is working but mobile data is not getting connected. Please help in this regard. Thank you very much in advance.

  • I got this model month and a half ago, and compared to old Xperia X8, this is really top quality as far as manufacturing is concerned. It's weight ads somehow to reliability and stable fitting in the hand. My specific piece don't have any kind of microphone problem, but I know some people complained to that. On the other hand, my device have some issues with GPS, where it almost always needs some ~10 minutes to lock the location for a first time. After that first time, it locks relatively good, but after reboot or few days, it's the same, hard to get a fix prob... Tried many tweaks, no success...

  • Go to engineering menu via *#*#2584560#*#*, go to AUDIO, find 1.1 Normal mode and 1.3. LoudSpeaker Mode and set its sensitivity to 200. Test it out. This helped me. Also drill bigger mic hole into the cover.

  • Hey Mucha I'm having problems with the sensitivity of my mic !! I was wondering if you could explain the second part of your answer better as in set what to 200 and do you set the levels in type mic to those values

  • I purchased this phone about two months ago. I like the following: Duel Sim Plenty of internal memory. Fast What I dont like Choose the "Settings" option hangs the phone a lot. Takes 8 hrs to charge You only get 6 hrs out of your charge so if you are going out in the evening, more than likely your battery will be empty by the time you are going home. So I dont find it reialbe when I am going out. Sound: When you lower the ring tone on your phone, this also lowers the volume of a call, so you are either higher up the sound to hear your converstation and then lowering it back down so the ring tone is not to high. Phone needed a software upgrade, when I accepted the upgrade if formatted my phone, I lost all messages, calendar events...very annoying. For what I spent on the phone I am a little bit disaappointed in what I have got, but I am hoping that they will improve their battery time and charging time. IT might make the phone more appealing.

  • Regarding the mic sensitivity there are 2 ways to improve it. 1. Make the mic pinhole bigger with driller 2. Increase the mic sensitivity in the service menu. Small service menu * # * # 4636 # * # * Big service menu * # * # 2584560 # * # * Mic sensitivity: 0-255 Go to AUDIO. Loot list: 1.1. Normal Mode (Normal) 1.2. Headset Mode (Mode Headset) 1.3. LoudSpeaker Mode - Setting the speaker (the one Handfree mode?) 1.4. Speech Enhancement (Improving speech) 1.5. Debug Info (debug information) 1.6. Speech Logger (logging of conversations, apparently). 1.7. Audio logger-is an audio logger (software for recording audio) with the ability to quickly find, play and save. 2. Select the mode you want. Normal Mode, (if you want to increase the volume of the earpiece and microphone). You'll see a menu with four positions, where the first item is the number of the profile. Try to increase it to about 200. Type "Mic" levels 112,136,160,184,208,232,255

  • in the philippines its called the starmobile icon, which costs around $180 USD

  • I have the same problem. Eny solution?

  • Is battery worth it?

  • battery - bad :( a work day until 16,00 batery empty ... there is no LED notification...

  • When I "send/receive" the MMS, the issue message occur (Transmission failure. Will retry later). The message text it's displayed correctly, but the attached "photo/video" are missed (empty). I tried to change settings, other SIM cards, other MMS applications, etc. without no succes. Any idea, solution? Thanks!

  • Alctael One Touch Idol 6030D (Dual SIM) the right choice. Dragontrail Glass, good battery

  • Hi, I have this phone around a month ago. The battery is not the best (the apps eat up it very quickly) thus I have always a charger with me. So it does not cause too much problems with me. It is not as heavy as my prev (HTC Desire HD) was. The dual sim is OK, you can easily switch between them when you call someone/send an sms. My only problem is with the GPS. It takes about 10 minutes to find the exact position. Anyway, I do not want to change this telephone. :)

  • I'm looking for a dual sim android, and I like this one. Does anybody knows does it have LED notifications, usb otg and gorilla glass (I think it has none of those, but not sure)? And as I understand it has a radio transmitter? I loved that on one of my old symbian nokias. Ony a little concerned about the battery, cause I'm a heavy user. Any experience with this phone, more info or a suggestion would be nice. Thanx in advance!
