  • I am also facing with that problem

  • How this phone vidiocol surport

  • How u removed kitkat?? ??

  • . . . . . . . Hi, After reading most of the reviews here, I makeup my mind to go for this unit. However, I am waiting for Gionee CTRL V4S and one of these two will be final. Just to clarify to few friends, in all mobiles processors are always heated up based on heavy application usage (as it happens in laptop/computers). Only difference is gap between processor and backside body cover. In those mobile where gap is higher you will feel less heating issue (actually not an issue) while in slim mobiles where gap is very much less you feel heating up. Confirm yourself by doing same activity for same duration on different mobiles by removing backside body cover of them. Thanks! . . . . . . .

  • It's delightful that GIO are providing update to the mobiles in this price bracket when compared to major manufactures.I know its a bit of stretch but would v5 get android L ?

  • awsme mobile h frnds......

  • Its a problem with the software provided by gionee.It does not support this device.I also have the same problem and when i asked to the service center person then he said that its not a successfully released version for this handset.

  • Li-po battery is more safer than Li-ion, the chemistry of the battery will not allow it to overcharge or over-discharge.

  • Is Li-po battery not Li-ion, so lasts long than Li-ion, whatever it is 1800mAh or less.

  • Plz Somebody Reply ....... I am currently on jellybean is it worth upgrading to Kitkat

Thanks.

But I'm facing a problem... the speaker volume seems to be very feeble. At full volume, I can't hear the ringtone if two people are talking in a room and phone is on the table in front of me!!! same for music player. Is the speaker volume really low with every handset or there is some problem with my device? Guys please reply asap as I might have to go for replacement... Thanks!

  • Using P4 for a week. built quality,speed, performance is very good. If heavy continuous surfing means battery will last for 3-5 hours. For moderate use it give 1 to 1.5 days. RAM 8GB out of it 5GB is user space. Screen resolution is enough for me. Till date it never hanged. Playing game, GPS won't take much battery, but, surfing with 3g, eat battery quickly.

  • Mr sing,i am going to buy p4.so pls if u tell me the problems that u r facing.waiting fr ur cmnts.thanks.

  • gionee ctrl v5 is good phone. it can be buy

  • U r right bro till date Gionee is one of the top manufacturers. It makes world class phones. KEEP IT UP GIONEE!

  • Gionee makes world class phones. Quality is perfect. Hardware is also strong. If sometimes devices from this company hangs or lags or misbehaves then I must tell you that it is an electronic device. And even the apple's iPhone and note 3 also hangs when in my hands. Just use a 15-17k samsung /Sony phone and just use an 8-10k Gionee phone... You'll notice the damn difference. I'm using P4 from Gionee and it plays all the HD games and videos. Damn you Criticisers......

  • Its a very good device. No hanging n others prob detected. So slim n easy to carry. Camera is quite good for shooting. Decent type music quality. Just battery back up is lasting maximum use about 5-6 hrs and normal use u can use it hole day long.

  • i am thinging buy a geonee mobile. what about this

  • I bought it juss 3 days back... And i cant believe aftr using thay in near future samsung and htc will face tough competition frm gionee phones... Display nd camera are superb... No laging in any hd games and in any app... Dis phone is woth buying.. If ur budget is 10-12k....

  • GIONEE P4 is on official website but not here on gsmarena why?

  • hang prob.....
