  • phone is tooo gud but .....video quality is not so good .......nd when we use it recently for 1 hour ......it becme vry hot

  • yeah i agree with u

  • I am having this phone from 1 year, mobile is good but I had problem not charging when I visited service centre they sent to Gionne for service they said its water damage and costs Rs: 2500 but I called back my phone. Again I gave mobile to same service centre then they quoted Rs: 14000. I am frustrated and pissed off. I am advising people not to buy any Gionee product after sales they are worst service.

  • Get a sony or apple charger that's it

  • im having problem in uc browser at the same time connecting on internet.

  • I didn't have any such issues mentioned in this web. Honestly speaking I'm not a Gionee type and was scared for its specifications. But people this phone is really great. No hanging OT switching off issues, no hyped hearing, great battery retaining capacity but fair camera. That's just I feel.

  • camera not working

  • not good product hang problem

  • Hi, I am using the Gionee S5.5 for 1.5 Year. My findings are as under: 1- Phone is made with Metal Alloy Body with is great conductor of heat, most phone processors are getting heat while on playing game or on other heavy processing but because of metal body user feels quickly that my phone is getting heat. other things the type alloy used is easily getting dented on very sort hit & paint also getting removed on corner, in my view simple plastic body should have very good look & feel and low weight, the gionee had bad choice to take it as metal alloy other wise it should have been stainless steel (hard & scratch proof then alloy but costly because not gets in desired shape quickly so increases processing cost) 2-Low memory = you can not extend it also not rooted so you can not re-proportionate memory between system & storage so in some time you have to uninstall some app to test or install new apps. 3-Display PPI & AMOLED screen is very good i will give 10 out of 10. (can be compared to any high cost phone you will not get disappointed) but even gorilla glass broke in three peaces after fell from 2 feet only (but screen is running/working) it is also due to the metal body because metal has no tolerance and things inside gets heavily hit. 4-Low battery but not a serious issue because smart phones have big screen & need to be charged on daily basis but more bigger is required. 5-has the sleek built but heavy weight due to metal body. 6- performance and speed is average "no complaint but not compliment". 7-dented metal body or glass replacement price on service center is also very high, so prefer to run in damaged condition else you add some more money and get brand new one, instead off getting the old one repaired .

  • Gionee is making hopeless phones. Gionee is not a trusted brand.

  • Hi. I was facing same issue. Format it and load android 4.2.2. It will start functioning normally. If u update to kitkat version, issue returns.

  • Phone is working well its fine but the problem is limited space for user! And the feature is copied by apple and like vivo doing with there phones. Over all i will give 5 for this phone but i like the amingo UI so its fine for u guys just chill. Dnt care what other saying abt ur phone just enjoy it and watch HD Porn 😜😜😜&#128­540;😜

  • This phone works automatically when kept in pocket. If we get any calls while phone is locked and kept in the pocket and works automatically either calls will be received or msgs will be sent after calls is received like jksaadkjadkjasn.

  • I'm using s5.5 for the last 1 year .. I never encountered any of the problems these guys are saying. Yes, sometimes the phone heats up but i think that's just normal because it has a full metal body. It is a great phone and it has a very good performance battery, not in terms of backup but reliability and charge stability.. I really think these negative comments are paid by other brands..

  • Hi. Its been three months that I am using s5.5,till now it was OK but today all of a sudden automatically display is not coming and got switched off.can anybody help me out?

  • The same app lock problem is with HTC desire 620g

  • i am using this (s5.5) from 1 year .... problem is that phone is getting heavy heat while surrfing on net or calling . i have sent my phone 2 times for service but could not be ok still now....

  • My greatest concern is that it's signal reception is poor. It requires a kind of signal boosting device.

  • I have this phone ana it gets extremely heated while playing game and surfing net, how to get rid of this problem?

  • Both phones are same, only the name is different, you can also find condor c8s (see on google), Gionee company is making Qmobile Z6 and condor C8S under command to the other companies, so you don't have to choice because it's only one phone.

  • Where Are you from?

  • can i have an answer here????? i took this phone before 2 years gionee e-6 and due to fell down its touch stopped working. its being 1 month i am trying to get this repair all are saying that parts are not available in the market of this phone. i have checked for the service center number but all are temperarily out of service or switched off and when i called to costomer care they put the call on hold for long time and told for the option of call back, where they told that they will call back as they are busy in another call. and i never received any call. bull shit phone!!! bad service !!!! who cannot give a service after 2 years and cud not make a good market. bakwaaaaassssssss!!!!!! dont waste money to buy this.

  • Who can tell me ??? Which one is the best (Gionee s5.5 ) or (Qmobile z6). The both phones have same specification. But I dont know which one of these phones are better for me?? Please answer to me ..

  • i too am observing the problem of shutdown with Gionee. Phone is not starting up manually. observed this shut down when I am turning on the WIFI. Restarting automatically when alarm is preset. really irritating. Other issues observed are, the last missed call is overriding the existing missed calls on home screen. Not able to set images in mobile or images downloaded from other sources as home screen wallpaper. Image is displaying in blur. always requires to unlock phone even during a call otherwise the call cuts due to touch sensitivity :(

  • Did u r using Du battry saver??so please uninstall any du app u have already installed...Restart ur phone and it will be fine #####

  • In gionee elife s5.1 Applock will automatically stop . How to solve it..plz give me answer..

  • Some additional thoughts on how to manage your battery. First, the screen is a top power user on any phone. Set your display to 33% brightness and take it off auto brightness. An amoled screen is more easily viewed, in my opinion, very well in low brightness. Use darker colors in your themes. Second, turn off wi-fi if not using it. When out and about, it continually scans for available networks and in my area (US) every single network is secured so I stand little chance of getting on one except for the freebies at restaraunts and such. Second: if you have no blutooth device, turn it off. Again, you have a system searching for something to connect to. Third, choose your apps wisely. Several browsers are terrible with power consumption. I use Chrome and battery use numbers are very good. Many built in apps from Gionee are never used so disable them. If you look at your power consumption list, you see that Android is a high user as it does include the apps preinstalled by Gionee. Anyway, I have another coming for me to use as a spare (really, I just wanted one) as they are available for $199 USD now. Mostly though because this is just an absolutely beautiful piece of hardware and I don't even mind the launcher. I will keep in touch if I think of any other ideas.

  • I just bought the Blu equivalent Vivo IV and had read ahead of time about the issue. I should note that I bought it for my daughter and after setting it up, I have not gotten her to hand it back over and never will. A 2300mlh battery is not really a small unit given it powers just 2 gigs of ram and an eight core processor where each core can run from 1.1-1.7GHz and add cores as needed. This should be a great processor choice for long life. Right out of the box, it showed 100% charge and I did not trust that figure. Even though you are not supposed to completely drain a lithium battery, many manufacturers recommend that once a month at the most. The idea behind that is for the internal software to set a base point for calculating a top and bottom level and all use algorithms are based on that. The odd thing was that when I got to an indicated 3% level, it refused to move after that and was at that point for a half hour. I charged it to 100% and sent her on her way. The next morning, she took it to school and did whatever, then when home, she was on the couch for what seemed like hours downloading every application she was used to from her old iPhone. About ten, it showed 23% left. My best guess is that the battery life reporting is inaccurate.

  • Hi i m gionee s5.5 user..plz i request you to help me :'( This is best phone without any doubt but i have one problem My problem is different than other.... I charged my phone fully 100% and than i plugged out and use my phone normaly.. the bettery draining out 100 to 65% in just 15 minit without any havy load like surfing,downloading etc.. ..even i play only 5 or 6 song played the bettery draining out 35%!!!!.. ....after 65-0% battery is draining out normally like other Android phone!! !!!!what is problem plz help me guys :'(

  • Have the same problem, i wonder have you solved yours? pls advice. I have now lots of unread messages as I can't see them, the seller replace me a new phone but there it goes again the same problem. First they said messages goes to "hangouts" then they disable my hangouts but after a while pile if unread messages comes back

  • It is a very well designed phone ...... Yes I agree that it has a heating problem and gets hagnged sometimes but in a 20K market segment it offers very good specifications and one can consider this mobile when he or she is planning to buy a new phone. From my point of view I would rate this phone between 6.5 to 7 on a rate scale of 10.

  • the cell worked good for 11 months but later it showed it colours 1) battery issue 2)motherboard issue 3)gionee customer service is so pathetic that submitting cell for 1 april u get your cell back after 3 months people over there are so bad abuse like anything and even customer service is so b poor i guess management is so bad they should close such companies

  • This phone's picture quality is good but it's battery life is very bad and it has also big heating problem

  • Please my gionee Elife s5.5 is showing overvoltage please disconnect the charger, after i upgraded to 4.4.2 with OTA? Please my e-mail: [email protected]

  • Pictures quality is good. But no external memory.

  • Do not equate a warm handset with overheating. You have a magnesium chassis bonded to two layers of glass with only 5.5mm between. The entire handset is acting as a heat-sink and that is a good thing. Be thankful that you have an octa core processeor that can use between one and eight cores depending on load. If you had a four core, you would be able to make toast on it.

  • Be careful what you wish for. Lollipop has all sorts of problems right now and Google still has not got a complete grip on it. I have a new Zenfone 2 and it has some bugs. I can't see too many differences between Kit Kat and Lollipop anywaybut under the hood there may be some better memory and battery management fixes.

  • no dnt buy...after sometime it hangs a lot and even app's get shut suddenly :/

  • its very good and awesome slim phone in the world .internet is too good to browse

  • i had blu vivo iv (rebrand of gionee s5.5), it already updated to kitkat 4.4.2 in january 2015.

  • My Gionee s5.5 is very slow network

  • Yes, it supports OTG.

  • I got Gionee GN 9000L Or Elife s5.5L ,my biggest concern is, has it HSDPA or WCDMA an next can it be upgraded to 4.4.2 ? From Pakistan . Your valued comments will be highly appreciated.

  • not satisfied enough.. i am using the phone for almost 3 weeks now and while using the phone it keeps on typing automatically i dont know wat's wrong.. they didn't even know..

  • Realy impressive screen resolution and impressive looks

  • I'm using this phone from last 8 months, it's really a good smartphone which is available in low price with good specification as compared to sony,samsung and HTC etc... these brand phone have same specification but high price min 32k. i brought this gionee for 20k and I'm very happy with it and not a single problem am i faced, i sware.some people giving a falls review i think whether they r used or not this phone. yes i agree it heats up but not like iron machine. this was a slimmest phone so we feel bit heat not much. that also while playing games and browsing internet. so what, it is not going to burn ur skin it's simple heat because of octa core processor with highly compact design like pressed metal.guys this is having a world class specification in it's segment. first learn how to use smartphones i mean not only utilizing what the brand giving functions. make it free from cache and resedual trash. make it by any tune up apps twice in month then have a look at ur phone it works very fast and no hang issues, no freezing, battery optimize everything but it bit heats up because i already told its compact design. and i don't know about bending issues it is not happened with me till now even i wear tight jeans and kept this phone in pocket also while bike riding.gadgets gives smile on ur face so make it right choice.this is my hands on experience.thank u.

  • Update sw version

  • worst phone i have ever used in whole life...the phone have bending problem which the company refuses to fix it.,..the company has worst service..it got hang easily nd it have some heating problem also..i recomend u to not buy this phone

Now read them and u'll be able to sort out ur problem for message notification.

  • I own this phone. This specification are awsum, bt has biggest problem of over heating and tat too nr ears which is the worst thing.

  • Hi, I own this device, although mine's called Allview X2 Soul, and I got to tell you I'm loving it! First of all, it's one of the most exclusive looking phones on the market. It has the WOW! factor. Even friends with Note 4 and iPhone 6 admire my phone. It might not be in the same league, but still... Cannot say much about it. I miss nothing that much more expensive phones have in addition compared to my phone. It's totally worth the money! My biggest concern about this phone is the OS (4.4.2) personalized by Allview which has some minor bugs, but nothing serious. Overall it's a good phone that worth buying!

  • Hi I am getting error like network anamoly when I try to update my phone. Is there any fix for that?? Also, when is the lollipop release date for gionee s5.5

  • For Touchscreen Problem, go to the service center and have it's touchscreen replaced. Also asked if your cellphone is still under warranty.

  • For Unread messages shown on menu problem, you need to go to the Service Center and have it's Software Upgraded or Reprogrammed. Note: All data will be loss once a unit is Software/Reprogrammed.

  • i would like to buy this phone some one please suggest me the feed back who is already owned this phone//

  • Worst phone and worst company. Guys i purchased it for 21,500 & sold it for just 11,000 after 4 months only. Gionee is even worst than any other Chinese company. Pathetic service centers and even higher management are just freshers in every field. Customer care even doesn't know about updated contact numbers & addresses of the service centers. What a pity guys. Its just I want to give a true opinion of the service & software related issues to the people who are planning to buy handsets of this fake company. Try other brands like Asus, Motorola, Lenovo, even Micromax is doing good in Indian market. Rest money is yours, spend it wisely..

  • heey friendsss plz plz plz plz plz plz help me i want to buy this mobile can i buy this plz plz plz i want your seggestions plzzz friendss plz and wht are the good qualities of this mob and bad quality plzzz suggetions fast as fast as u can

  • Guys i recommend not to buy any phone from gionee, their customer service is pathetic, no proper service centeres, they give one year warranty and you will have the problem with the device with in a year or after that. Any which ways you need to pay even if the phone is under warranty. Gionee S5.5 Sucks. Their parts are above 10 K, it does not have gorilla glass, its actully chimpanzee glass which has a broken display which is not visible when you buy. Please spend your money on any other reputed brand.

  • I have baught this elife 5.5 smart phone since last 7 month .my problem is that there are no any option for 3g service .it's battery backup is not well.

  • I am pretty sure..you'll trow it in no time...as a last resort give JetAudio app a try and box with the EQ a bit

  • Audio is really fantastic? you gotta be kidding dude...call quality is fine....but music quality is aweful..the signal is underpowered..if you plug into its 3.5 mm port directly ..u wont be suprised...however if you stream music over good stereo bluetooth headsets like sony mw600 , sony sb50 and bluedio i4 with sony mh700 ear plugs the audio quality is awesome...cuz these babies add extra audio amplification reduce impedence and improve sensitivity

  • Thank you. I also have the same problem with unread messages. After downloading backup and restore and history cleaner and followed your instructions, I was able to retrieve the unread messages. Cool.

  • I've been using this phone for three months. I was impressed by it's awesomenss. But now I understand awesomeness is nothing if it does not work well. Well, let me tell you what problems I face: 1. Battery drains so quickly. I've to charge 2 times a day. 2. It takes a lot of time to charge it fully. 2 hours+. 3. When I play videos for some minutes or use internet or play games it starts to heat even in this winter season. 4. Came of this phone is bad. It's a despair for me. 5. Gps does not work all tym. 6. Using internet via wifi it takes only 2 hours from full battery to empty. Sometimes I feel like I should throw this phone. Last year I threw an i pod shuffle 2 gb for its worst sound quality. I had been using sony walkman before that. walkman has a great sound quality.

  • in this phone is there any heating problem after playing game or any type issue? please guy tell me bcoz iwant buy this phone

  • Hi Dude, Make Quick power setting, it will help to increase battery life. Octa core processor will consume more battery for processing that quad. So pls dont compare this with qaud core mobiles. So it is adviseable to buy this phone.

  • Hi folks, I bought this mobile few month before. It is simply awesome. Extraordinary display.Audio is really fantastic. Heating problem is there but that happens when we use more number of apps. Other than that battery drain problem. If u did quick power settings battery performance get enhanced. I have upgaraded to Kitkat. Is there any possiblities for lollipop? Whether we can get notification or not? I luv my mob very much........

  • After read the reviews am confuse

  • I own this phone and everything is good except the battery is a bit fast draining! Camera 13 Mega sounds great but still the quality is lower than my iPhone 5S. Smooth performance, very slim and light! And one more thing about the Camera design (outlook) is kinda annoying me since it's thicker than the phone and it comes out! If I am to rate this device, I would give 6/10!

  • i just got the s5.5 how was the kitkat update?? whatvis the improvement? does the battery life gets better? and the ram? and the heating issues too? pls reply guys need your help"

  • Battery is a bizarre . As far as am concerned. A smart phone with less than 3500mAh is of no consideration

  • Install the noname rom from needrom and you will love this phone.

  • black is superb.....

  • How is this phone guys. Thinking of buying it. Is it worth the price. Getting it for 20K. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks

  • I am facing the same problem. WLAN consumes 31% battery even though it is turned off causing the battery to drain very fast. Did you find any solution for the issue?

  • Excellent phone, using for more then 6 months. An oasis after my old Samsung phone which slowdowned significantly after a while (not very long). This phone's speed is fantastic, after installing more then 80 apps, still working like first day. Perfect screen (resolution and size and bright. ) and many other specs which you pay 3 times more on other well known brands. Battery is quite enough for one day full usage. Don't cause problems on rooting and other operations . Nice and classy design. Think twice before paying lots of money for known brands. The only down side is bottom touch buttons are too close to screen and cause accidental touchs which disturb what u are doing already...

  • go for it ...no issues with the battery absolutely fantastic phone... i am already using it since last 6 months

  • Ultimate handy and talk of town. Well placed in best of the thinnest body. awesome look. Fast ... gorilla glass rocks front and back.... that gives a sophisticated feel using since last 6 months...processor is quite responsive..... no message like crap "Unfortunately stopped working" just in another andriod phones. good value for money. slim battery gives a good standby ..

  • I wanted to buy this phone bt m worried about its battery lyf n heating problem...I m found of its design bt dont know about its wrkng

  • never had issues with anything with this phone just that the battery drains out pretty fast that too over wifi and 3g and i believe that is reasonable

  • Phone is hanging everytime.. Any idea. .??friends..

  • Don't go for this phone, it's hanging everytime heat issue is nothing

  • Yes, you are right More over these phone is hanging everytime

  • Very aosame phone nice user interface

  • same with my phone.... if your phone charges less than 2.30 or 2 hours... let it charge full night...try it... it work for me.... after doing the above way i get easily 7 to 8 hour active onscreen usage.

  • good looks, Superb interface, cool camera but am planning to switch to another phone due to very poor battery backup. After its fully charged (100%) within 30 mins it goes down to 80% in idle status.......................

  • Hey there I m getting WiFi problem plz help me out It disconnect automatically.Carecentre doesn't see the problem perfectly. Plz mail me the solution at ronaktaparia001 @gmail.com Plz do reply

  • When not use disconnect the net.

  • its mstly abt the luks dat stnts.....

  • Bro updated it yesterday..Now it's working nice...thanks

  • I have a black one...and trust me it feels awesome ...go for black

  • Bro I am using this phone from last 4 days...its a really nice phone...nice features and awesome looks...But I am facing 2 problems....first poor battery backup...and it heats up when I play games....otherwise nice phone with a brilliant screen which u will not get in an 50000 bucks phone...so in this price range go for it..

  • hey hi frnds plz tell me can i buy this phone or not.

  • Just Go to "Settings" => "Display" => Remove the tick from "Lock Screen Notifications". Thats it.

  • Dear All, I am facing a problem regarding automatically exit from any app. hence I failed to solve the problem after reboot and update the system version.And another major problem is touch problem...when eg. When I touch on gellery, Music is open..when I touch on Setting any oter app is opened...I cant solve this peoblem since 5 month.

  • you may wanna try updating your software to kitkat. since Stock gionee was released on Jellybean OS. some peeps were complaining about the bug. but i don't see any problem in it. perhaps the bug i just encountered so far is the messaging. but that is manageable by using a third party app instead of the stock. when i updated it to kitkat, i experienced a long battery life and less heating. hope this post helps.

  • This phone is amazing good looking nyc phone i like this phone ................

  • i am also facing the same prblem ...is there any solution????

  • Same problem is here bro...any suggestions to solve it

  • gold color is best

  • My gionee elife s5.5 is stuck in bootloop. I'm not able to hard reset it. It is not taking any input. Before taking it to the service center wanted to try to repair it myself. Any solutions/suggestions?

  • heating issue well the phone doesnt burn so what heating issue just purchases a cover for the phone and stop talking about the stupid heating issue the phone its great

  • Just bought this phone yesterday.Really stuning looks.Awsome feature...Awsome secondary camera...i think.front camera is better than the primary one....ya there are heating issue with phone..it gets heated up within 10min of gaming....otherwise really nice phone and worth to buy.

  • Thanks tisha I m planing to buy s5.5 just tell me some review Abt the software and UI thanks m frm delhi

  • The phone is awesome as far as performane is concerned but there are heating issues with the phone. The phones couldn't be used for longer hours as it heats up terribally, low end games like candy crush also heat it up. If u want a new elegant looking phone only to make calls, use whatsapp and run some basic apps for a few minutes browse internet, u can prefer this phone. My suggestion is don't go for this phone there are many other good phones in this price range!

  • Disable lock screen notifications in display settings n restart mobile.

  • No dear frnds its rear camera is not as good as 13 mega pixel...

  • S dis mble heats a lil But wen u use it while keeping it on charge it heats a lott... Bt its nt a big prblm u can buy this mble n hope u'll also njoy as i am

  • This mobile is being sold as QMobile Noir Z6 in Pakistan.

  • Go thru earlier responses, solution has already been provided for this..

  • Go thru earlier responses, solution has already been provided for this..

  • I am facing a software problem after updating kit kat 4.4.2 ... When I unlock the screen by sliding upwards ... Automatically message inbox opens ..Its happening all the time ...

  • Gionee s 5.5 world best & slim mobile I live gionee ,I have new purchase gionee m2 mobile

  • 1) that problem is because the Gionee phone requires you to slide up or down to answer or decline a call so the motion of sliding your phone out if your pocket triggers one of the options automatically if the screen brushes against your trouser 2) download cloud magic or blue mail. Trust me, they are better email softwares for the Gionee than the default email client which is pretty poor

  • No! Donot do it the kitkat drains a lot of battery which will make u feel angry and frustrated.evrything is good accept battery. I hope Gionee will relaunch kitkat with some bug fixes.

  • hey frnd .. u use that phone.. tell me gionee mobile has italic fonts like samsung mobile

  • I want to buy this phone ... could I know is there any heating issue? I heard that there is heating issue is that true please reply one of the gionees5.5 users Thank you

  • hi guys I want to buy geonee elife s5.5. but there is lot of correction in my mind. some one suggest me this phone having battery heating issue..any one facing this probe ? pls suggest me can I buy it or not... pls reply asap....

  • Battery is non-removable. what does it mean. once battery life is over, phone life is over?

  • Hey guys. Found the solution for the phone app opening problem. Just go to settings-apps-all-contacts and select turn off notifications option and then reboot the phone. Boom. No more problems. You'll still get the missed calls on notifications bar the app won't open up on unlock.

  • Im useing very good nice phone

  • No this phone is very , nice phone and very good luck ,

  • One of the best smartphone in the market. I would say this phone has a very good camera quality processor and camera then other companies. As I have brought the phone I am totally satisfied with it performance. I would like to insist you to buy this phone

  • Hi, I am facing below two problems with Gionee S5.5 Mobile. 1. When I get calls while driving my bike or while walking what happens is my incoming calls get disconnected automatically while I am taking my phone out of the pocket. I think its something related to movement/shaking of the phone. Is somebody else also facing this issue. 2. there is one default service in the phone. "Email" by which you can configure any mail on your phone. I configured my office emails to it as its needed in my job and thats why i brought smart phone. but after the first update of the phone its stop. working. Can you please help in this regard. Please reply and help :( Thanks & Regards, Sharat Ojha

  • Im useing very good nice phone

  • The guys who are admiring Gionee products, can you guys please explain the uniqueness about the software of Gionee Products? Making most unstable software versions is the specialty of Developers working in Gionee Company. Only first and last time a customer buy any Gionee product. Has anybody seen Color O/S developed by Oppo in Android Jelly Bean? See the features and stability. Updated Version is always worthless if it create problems during its usability, which is the case with Gionee. Everytime customer has to highlight issue with every new update. Where are Gionee's testers which approve heavy delayed unstable updates?? Stop being dishonest and speak truth, no matter it is praise or criticism..

  • I think everyone is facing the same issue. Gionee has proved it again that how poor are these software updates made by their in-capable developers and also their Senior testers. I have a temporary solution for messaging problem:- 1) Open messaging app's settings. 2) Remove all the ticks which are there be-default. 3) Use hangouts as default app. There it is. You will never have to restart your phone again for every new SMS. But, sadly if you receive any missed call, the dialer application will automatically and I have found no solution for this crappy thing. I have made complaint about this software update. I was surprised that they admitted their fault on first call as I have WhatsApp'ed the video's for both messaging and dialer application and they said our team is now working on these issues.

  • I am facing heatup problem while continue use up to 10 to 15 min.

  • Sir there is a problem in messaging only The msg which i not invisible in the inboax, for that u shoul export ur msg and then import them and u will be able to view the unseen msg

  • Gionee is a best cmpny U shud buy s5.5

  • Hi Nikhil, I am also facing the same problem after system update.

  • yes please suggest fix this.

  • my camera keeps saying camera error! right now my camera icon is gone! what do I do?

  • i love this phone great camera sharp display very fast

  • The phone itself has no problem. Its just a compatibility issue with kitkat os update which will be fixed eventually for sure. Even samsung and any other known brands used to have this kind of problem as well.

  • Dont buy gionee 5.5 There is many problem Heating broblem, auto working, hanging problem. auto opens last closed window.

  • Go for nexus 5 without any hesitation.

  • Yup, facing the same issue.. I don't know why they can't test properly before releasing an update. It's so irritating. Let me know if you find any other solution to this problem..

  • How long is the battery backup on 3g???

  • Yes Nikhil, I too faced the same issue. Don't know what gionee developers are doing? can't they test properly and release stable updates to customers?

  • They rolled out a new update. Many issues are resolved now but these is a new issue in that update that whenever a message come, the phone open the messaging app or the dialer app automatically when you unlock the phone. the only solution is restarting the phone.

  • I purchased this phone and it has stopped working in 7 days!!!!!!

  • For messaging issue, go into Hangouts and make it your default app for sms. Then you will be able to see those smses. As mentioned earlier, all issues I face are due to software bugs and can be lived with. Hardware wise it is a wonderful phone.

  • Bundle mobile dont wast your time many problems in 5.5 hanging, auto working and many plz dont by gionee 5.5.

  • Gionee has realesd some update to elifes5.5 .the update is about 296mb.. Go and check it out guys

  • I m confused plz help me Which one i should buy GIONEE ELIFE s5.5 or htc desire 816

  • One of the best phone:)I love jionee very much:).

  • Facing this issue with Messaging service....Shows unread messages in notification panel whereas on opening the app you cant find them. Also, some of the messages doesn't appear i.e not visible in inbox. Compatibility with other Applications downloaded from Play Store is also pathetic. Eg - App Lock doesn't works well with this phone neither true caller... Reported the matter many times to Customer care but they are not able to resolve the same every time revert back that a technician will call back but of no use...Chinese phone and company after all.......

  • Any comparison between g s 5.5 & micromax nitro Which one is cost effective

  • Hii Nikhil.. I am also facing similar issues.. One more to add is the black screen for some apps when we look at list of apps running in background.. Most of the issues are software related and surface after kitkat update.. I wish I hadn't updated my phone.. Still I love it and its performance. . I expect the issues to be resolved in next update..

For that I wait 19days to get it. Today I got it and second problem is signal strength is not getting. I don't know how many more days to wait to rectify this problem.

  • I've had this device for about 3 months. Will I recommend it to anyone, absolutely. I typically grow bored with a device in weeks but not this. I grabbed a red polycarbonate thin protective case and its often confused with a Lumia. Gionee did great with this phone. I trust the upgrade (not s5.1 as that is a downgrade) will have at least 32gb and a bigger battery. I'm in Nigeria by the way

  • It's the most worst gadget I have ever come across,never bye this geonee s5.5,unless you can't effort a apple...it's the most UNSMART PHONE.

  • Several people have already told the same thing but I'll repeat one more time :- In order to see the hidden messages you'll have to authorize the hangouts app to handle the responsibility of your sms' and then you'll see all your unread messages there. There is an issue with the messaging app on the AMIGO OS in Gionee.

  • Very bad phone its freezing on pattern lock and application closed automatic battery drain fast heating problem

  • 100% agree with nikhil. All problems mentioned by you is correct n I m also facing the same. Worst experience with the s5.5. Nothing will happen if you give your phone to service Centre.

  • Here are some issues in Gionee Elife S5.5 Kit-Kat Update:- 1) Heating Problem. 2) Very Fast Battery Drain. 3) Battery Percentage Error. 100 to 80% in just 5 mins. 4) Automatically applications close after a shake/vibrate. 5) Wi-Fi & Mobile data connectivity became very inconsistent. Keeps on disconnecting automatically. In case of Mobile Data "E" is showing but it is actually not working. If you guys want to confirm, use whatsapp application. 6) Double Tap wake up not responsive all the time. 7) No unread message but still showing the same in notification. Everytime you have to switch to hangouts & then sender becomes unknown. 8) Push notifications sometimes not working for many applications. 9) Contact synchronization error with dialed number even if you saved that number in your contact list. 10) Number gets washed away while dialing if you switch to other application. 11) DU battery saver application only improves battery backup for 5 mins. more than the original backup. 12) While you switch on the phone, see screen at start, it always shows a missed call notification for few micro secs. Share your comments if you all guys are facing same issues with this update. I have highlighted these issue to Gionee Technical support, they promised me to roll-out a new update till 20th August, 2014. & now till date there is no update. When I talked with them yesterday, they promised again that the new update is ready & testing is going on. The suggested me to wait for 2 weeks. The guys who wants to purchase this device look for its resale price as nobody is going to give you more than 12,000 INR for just 2 months old device.

  • No issue has been resolved even after formatting. Hope gionee will release another update for this

  • I want to by a phone But some confusion r there bcoz of many options.. Plz help me. Which phone should i buy ?? Gionee e7 mini or Gionee s5.5 or Xiomi mi3 ?? Plz help me to choose any one of this or any better phone compare to these...

  • Its been 2 months now. The Photo clarity is excellent. Performance is Kool but has a many bugs that developer either hasn't focused or did not care. While on call, sometimes the phone keeps the call on hold and dials the same caller. It doesn't lock automatically neither its sensor works. from the past week onwards when I open the dialer the contacts app as well as the dialer are not responding.. The message icon shows there are some unread messages after all the messages are read....

  • Even if you delete all your messages and import from the backup, the problem re-occurs in 2-3 days when you start getting new messages.

  • Message. Not varking

  • No ur reply for message is not working

  • Where is sensor of missed call and notifications like Samsung and MMX blinking led light

  • buy ur self a lenovo p780 and feel what it feels like to use a mobile without worring about battry life and durability and stuff like that ecvery thing that i expected of a lenovo mobile my expecttations were exceeded on the P780 that i bought a year ago for 2100 for just Rs 12500 now days it rocks

  • I was facing the same problem n my wifi was always running as per battery details....i backed up my data n reseted the phone n nw its working fine...and this unread messages problem also got solved after resetting

  • I've been observing my Elife S5.5 today. I've just fully charged the phone and it drains the battery very fast. I've found the problem! If you'll notice, the screen brightens when using Du Battery Saver. This is what I did with my Du Battery Saver: 1. Open Du Battery Saver 2. Tap on Mode 3. Tap on Edit beside �My mode� (default name) 4. I've reduced the Screen brightness to 20% (You may also set it to 10% since it's still visible) 5. My Screen timeout is 2 Mins 6. Vibrate is set to On 7. Other settings are set to Off ***Note: Don't use Automatic when setting the Brightness of your Display in System Settings. Like my former Galaxy S3, I set the brightness to 0%. I used to set it to Automatic and I've observed that it keeps on changing, so there's a big chance that it'll automatically change to 100% (depending on your environment). Also, the seller advised me not to upgrade to Kitkat. Since Kitkat is still not very stable, he advised me to wait for 1 more year. As the saying goes... �If it ain't broke, don't fix it� ^_^

  • Is this mobile android jellybean? Where can this phone be bought?

  • is it good enough to buy wen compared to knight?

  • power saving mode

  • After upgrading to kitkat you can not perform this operations.

  • After the kitkat update in my E-Life S5.5, I am mot able to copy movies from USB to phone memory although I can copy other folders pics etc. but not any movies. Can anyone suggest any work around for this? do I need to download and reinstall USB Drivers for my phone? phone always shows that it cannot copy/delete.

  • in my phone even after turning off the wlan, when i see the battery usage it is showing that wlan is running and consuming almost 31% battery. can anybody tell how close it so it will not consume the battery....

  • I think it should be a good for all

  • Finally I got this phone, battery not good, big problem for me is: corporate email not able to synchronized..if any body done this pleas help me how to synchronized the mails.

  • Go to messages then select export option to export after doing these delete all msg unread icon will disappear and again import ur msg thats it

  • 1. the battery is discreasing very fast 2. the mobile will become very hot after use of 10 mins

  • Yes, It is available in bangladesh. walton has lunched the phone in the name of Primo X3

  • Performance???......buy or nt ??

  • Your suggestion is not working

  • Do not go for this phone, Not happy with battery life sound quality & output, Aluminium case is for name sake if u drop ur phone it will easily get damage, heating problem is still there after updating to 4.4.2, if you spend the same/less money you will get Micromax knight/ canvas gold which are far better phones than this. After using for around 2 months I'm little disappointed with this phone, except slimness & good display nothing is there in this phone, Octa core processor is useless I'm using airtel 3G it works as normal as 2G in other phones. Not worth of spending 20K for this phone, if you get at 15K or less then go ahead & buy this phone.

  • Just bought mine today ^_^ SM Megamall Cyberzone @ Hello -free 32GB OTG flash drive -a micro sim (actually got 2 sims..hehehe) -it comes with a screen protector -it also comes with a flip cover PHP 19,999 (cash) *with lots of pointers and lessons from the seller. Now, I know what I did wrong with my Samsung Galaxy S3. I was looking for Oppo Find 7, but it's still not available here in the Philippines. I dont wanna get the Find 7a if I know that there's a Find 7.

  • A nice looking phone with good spec. Hope to buy one soon. Weldone Gionee.

  • Dude. I do heavy things with my phone, never had a screen touch freeze or over heat or any bad news about it. Maybe you just have bad luck.

  • It is actually a very good phone....display is amazing n yes it heats up but tht is bcz of the powerful processor..and heating is common with all flagship mobiles....and battery backup is good i easily get a days backup

  • dis is a worst one...please somebody give me a suggestion... my back camera is not working not even a flash and torch...on opening camera option..its not responding.... torch is not working...phone hangs...wat to do...

  • Shit fone! gets heat up on a little longer calls or playing heavy games, screens touch stops working in hot climate. Worst ever battery. FB Messenger slows the phone. Sold it after 8 days of use with a huge loss!

  • The specs on this phone are stupid good. Amazing design, 1080p display, 2GB memory, 13 MP rear camera 5 MP front camera. Only 5.5 mm thick?!! Only downside for me, 16GB internal memory with no option for external storage. Even with the external storage it'd be a toss up for me. Because 16GB of internal storage is nothing. Even after rooting a device and getting rid of unnecessary apps you still don't have much to work with. Nonetheless beautiful phone.

  • very waste, i wasted my money, if you buy online you will not get warranty in service center. i was told by the sales person, that we do get battery back of 1.5days but am getting not more than 8 hours.

  • Still now resolved, unread messages not visible, can someone help how to read them.

  • Hey guyz. Y dere are soooo much complaints against dis beauty..? Dis is seriously beauty wid brain n has such high end specs den also y everyone is complaining about it..? It has an awesome camera as i have seen its clicks by several reviewers n can play asphalt 8 ...has a brilliant resolution.. So Wat else 1 wants from a 20K phone.....??

  • heey frnss..itss looking ...goood .in aal features...i want to purchase it cn any body suggest me i shod go through or ..any?????????????????

  • ya its bro

  • Beeeeest

  • This phone is wastage of 21k. It heats so much and drains battery very fast. When I call , application automatically start working and when u disconnect phone u can see a lot of applications are opened and it also as a glass if it slip from your hand u can suppose your 21k is in water.

  • Given that this has 16gb storage, what is the actual user storage available? Sorry, not going to read the whole review to know that, I hope GSM includes it in the spec page, please. :)

  • is it available in nepal ? i wanna get it

  • Guys stop buying this phone and go for Lumia series best ever phone in town...

  • how can i recover images data

  • Hey frd plz tell me how to install wts app plus in my geonee s5.5 ...i face a problem like app not installed

  • How to remove unread messages??

  • I admit that phone is very thin and beautifull,but the magnesium body is not so resistant at all after little time it got scratches(even if really really small) near the ear piece and trust me i pay attention to the phone,and here comes the best,phone do not recgnize sim card after a month anymore,battery drains super fast and takes very long to charge,this phone is not recommended for proffessional use,gionee have no correct support,seller send me zip to reebot same firmware to see if possible repair the sim problem,result phone bricked.. and seller wants me to pay return to him and return tome,so two ways,i refused... so if someones wants a bargain for 150 usd i sell it if you have developper skills,phone is new but i don t want it anymore...

  • Its heat very badly .......an battery drop very quik ..otherwise there no prob ...ssly dont buy gionee ..go for sony or apple

  • may I know this phone have here in the Philippines?

  • prefer gionee or note 3 neo is also a better option

  • You buy a gionee elife s5.5 because this phone is awesome

  • I am not able to view the SMS in the inbox of gionee s5.5. Can anyone help me

  • Can someone upload or post a link for KitKat update on this phone? Doing it using phone is not an option for me, as I do not have a working Internet at the moment. Once I have a link, I can download it from somewhere and add it to the InterSD card. Also, the phone is just awesome. I ignore the heat issues, as it is because of the Octa Core, slimmest body and Gorilla Glass front and back.

  • I want buy Gionee Smart phone.My budget is 15k to 20k.Can any one give me the suggesion.How is this Gione.

  • I like this phone. Pros: Stylish(5.5mm thick), fast (octa core processor), good clarity (Super Amoled display), good camera (13 & 5MP) Cons: Generates Heat when playing games, average battery life I recommend this phone for who wants to show their pride.

  • It becomes very hot when one talks to someone for more than 15 mins. It's battery is 2300mah but still gets over very fast.

  • It becomes very hot if you talk for more than 15 mins. It's battery is a lot but gets over very fast.

  • Gionee in terms of sales is No. 1 in India now defeating Samsung by decent margin. These chinese mobiles gonnna put a dent in samsung, sony etc profit. Big players have to wake up and stop overpricing their handsets.

  • Hi i want to buy a phone with cost of 20k to 25k i ma confuse in b/w Gionee Elife S5.5 and samsung Note 2 kindly Suggest.

  • Dude this not my first post OK , just check all my posts and talk . after reporting all the problems to the gionee and getting a worst response I posted. The real fact is that even the gionee agreed with all the faults and said we are working on it. You shouldn't have updated it so soon .

  • When android L comes out you will come to know which phones will be history .

  • Don't waste your money dude use it wisely .

  • I think u r competitor blody nonsense that's u have write a wrong feedback I'm using it and there is no issue

  • I agree with all concerns. The same with mine as well

  • Dude moto g is history nw.... Look in to asus zenfone 5 n xiaomi mi 3. N moto x is shier waste of money

  • If u would hv reset ur phone after updating to kitkat there wont be ny problem..... Battery backup is gr8... I play nova 3 alot on this phone and it performs like a charm... Response is great n all applications get closed only whn ur ram gets completely filled... U should knw these basic things. There is no problem with contacts n they get properly synchronised n i hv never faced ur this unknown contact issue. Frst reset ur phone... After tht share ur views

  • Hi! I wanna gionee Elife S5.5. How am buy it? What is price of this product?

  • Is it worth taking giones s5.5??

  • Dude; These issues are gone after kit kat update.

  • Dude don't waste your time and money go with moto g of moto x instead.

  • Lot of bugs in the Kitkat update...... :( 1)No unread messages in inbox but showing message notification. 2)Contacts doesn't synchronize with the dialer contacts, they show as unknown even if the contact is available. 3)Swipe from notification bar to settings bar doesn't work. 4)Some apps even installed doesn't have icon in appmanager, once we start the app from uninstall manager then the icon appears . 5)Double tap to awake doesn't respond properly.+ 6)All Application closes on its own with a vibration some time. 7)Service Messages such as online shopping,courier,airtel etc will not open it shows empty message and message notification increases. 8)Phone response is very bad. 9)can't resume most of the apps they just start from begining, ex:- type a number in dialer pad and minimize and open the number is gone. 10)very bad battery backup. 11)It has become a nokia 1100 set after kitkat update. 12)If their is two contacts of same number it shows unknown number. 13)In dialer history even the contact is their it shows unknown contact, once you call the number then it displays the name . 14)Most worst font . These are the things i have noticed I think still more yet to come..... :( Not even able to revert the update and stuck with asshole phone now. Over all an waste update from GIONEE .It would have been better if they hadn't provided the update at all.

  • does not recognize sim card after one month,back to repair,time waste,battery drops also quick...

  • Htc 816 vs s5.5 Pros with s5.5 1. Full hd super amoled screen is far better compared to 720p of htc816 2. Better build quality n very easy to work with and in case of 816 the screen is 5.5 inches but the body is as big as xperia t2 ultra so its bulky 3. Far better performance compared to htc 816 4. Gorilla glass for both front n back... N htc 816 doesn't hv gorilla glass evn fr front. 5. Both cameras of s5.5 are better than htc 816 Pros with htc 816 1. Beats audio is simply better then any other smartphones sound chip.. I have a desire x so i knw that. 2. Dual sim with option of using both gsm n cdma together. 3. External memory slot. Both phones hv similar battery life htc's hv a trademark of poor battery life. Both hv good ui htc blimk feed is good n so is amigo 2.0

  • There is heating but tht is bcz of slim design not harware issues like in canvas knight S5.5 has far better build quality compared to canvas knight u should check igyaan.com for there comparative review Music system has software related issues... Bcz after using musixmatch sound quality is fine. Performance is great with this phone u wl nt find lags n all n ui feels fresh since kitkat update. Battery backup is also good considering the performance.

  • I am totally confused that whether I should buy htc 816 or gionee s5.5??? plz help me

  • is d phone gud? hw abt d heating issue n d music system? is it better than micromax knight?

  • I also dont find it very usable....n according me the main reason is that the proximity sensor is placed far from speaker grill. Try to pick cl frm lft hand it wl work n it wont frm right hand very easily.

  • My phone's smart gesture to pick up call is not working, how can I use it

  • Amit try out musixmatch from app store.... U wont hv any regrets with sound quality after that. By the way I am very satisfied with the camera

  • Go to settings then to smart gestures...for gesture control

  • Battery backup is decent enough,the standyby time is quite good actually.I easily get through one day on 3G with some juice to spare with moderate usage that is.Heats up while gaming or cpu extensive tasks but thats only cause its so darn thin.

  • Hey guys I m goin to buy this phone so plss tell me abut this phone ...hws the battery back up and heat problam...

  • Have had the phone since it was launched, it�s a good phone overall sans the camera & audio quality. No matter which earphone or music player you use ,the sound is tinny and plain awful. What surprises me is that it wasn�t so bad on JellyBean ,it�s like suddenly the kitkat update has made it worse. Do any of you feel the same?

  • Well, it doesn't happen all the time but only two or three times a day.. But it's very frustrating especially if i hve deliberately kept some apps open.. Thanks for your advice but can u pls tell where can i find those settings? Also, will surely dwnload the music app.. Thanks a lot..

  • I agree with u on black screen while looking on background apps. But i havnt faced this shake issue. U can look in to gesture control settings... Turn it off may be it helps And do download musixmatch app... It is a must for this phone if u want to enjoy music... Improves sound quality by far... N gvs lock screen control

  • Elife is best, but do not use truecaller software, it will hang

  • I am also facing same issues

  • m2 is a gr8 ph as it has d best battery among smart phones.

  • yes video calling is very easy & clear wth s5.5 ,i m using dis device since 3 mths & i luv it.

  • Hey guys I'm facing an weird issue with this fone. The application exits itself while I'm still using that app. It only gets proper once I lock then unlock the fone. But it's happening with even dialer app

  • power button + volume down

  • Hi DNK, I face couple of other issues.. When i look at background running apps, some of them show black screen.. This issue was not there with jelly bean.. Also, quite a few times they close automatically with a shake of phone.. Even when i done want them too.. Do you face similar issues?

  • This is for all s5.5 users.... The inbuilt music app is poor rather than that use playerpro from app store...it wl improve the sound quality by using the equalizer. The hardware is fine it is the problem with software bcz of which the sound is poor

  • Yes man after all it is smart phone

  • How to take screenshot???

  • best

  • for all s 5.5 user can you guys plz let me know whether this hanset support video calling or not.plzzz plzzzz. i wanna buy it asap,help asap

  • You should buy gionee elife e7.gionee S5.5 is slimest but in terms of camera and other performance e7 is best.

  • i want to purchase gionee s5.5 please guide should i buy or not.

  • I'm using this phone since last one and half month. its battery drains very fast. I wake up at 8am with 100% battery and now at 10:43am its just 51% remained. all other features are great but this phone force u to charge in evening around 4pm. I switch on data every half hourly for approx 10min to read what's app msgs, display is not visible outdoor if brightness is less than 30-40%. so I keep brightness to 50 or 100% outdoor and minimum indoor. less performance is may be because of less chemical in slimmest battery.

  • wann buy gionee m2 ...cn u ppl tell tat hw it is ?

  • If u r music lover then stay away from this phone. Except that everything is fine

  • Guys I am looking to purchase Gionee Elife s5.5. May I know the opinions of some of those who have already purchased and using it.

  • I dnt knw whts the problem in ur mobile but mine is working exceptionaly good.... As of nw it has been 9 hrs since a full charge... N i m at 50% n my screen time is 2 hrs 28 minutes..... N regarding performance after kitkat i m getting antutu score of 29000. Htc 816 wont stand a chance in front of this device in terms of performance n display quality

  • it is a use less third class phone very cheap features. except for the look its performance is worse than a entry level smart phone. screen is unresponsive, battery life is the poorest i have ever seen. I have to charge twice or thrice a day. dont buy it is not worth 10 percent of the money.

  • I have HTC 816 and you cannot compare that to GIOnee. HTC is far better plus you get a satisfaction of buying a trustworthy phone.

  • Go in display setting you se font style click them and change the fonts

  • Unable to install USB drivers on my Win 7 PC in debugging mode. USB drivers available online are totally useless. Don't know exactly what to do?

  • As everyone else here has mentioned this phone is certainly not worth the money. Its a decent phone i agree. I have been using it for the past 1 month and love the design and the screen. But thats it. the screen sometimes is unresponsive and if you are a music buff stay away from this phone. They have used a really really shitty DAC (sound card/chip). I use my Sony MDR XB 90 with these and they sound like shit! when i listen to the same thing with the same earphones on my ipod or my friends Xperia it sounds amazing. No bass from the handset at all. Camera is average and speed of the phone overall is good. Buy only if style is all you are looking for. Else put in a little more buy the galaxy s4 which uses a wolfson DAC or if you want to buy gionee then buy the E7 which comes with a snapdragon SOC with a snapdragon DAC which sounds good too. But stay away from this phone its far from satisfying.

  • Micromax canvas gold a300

  • How Can I change font style like new downloaded font ? any one help pls..

  • Desire 816

  • gione earphone sound is bad so use creative ep630 its works batter I'm using and satisfied its sound quality.

  • just like any other china brand and manufacturer always a copy cut..y dont u release with the real specifications and original...

  • Buy moto x .....its awesome bro

  • User interface is not good, original software seems much dependent on 3rd party apps, poor battery backup, poor 2g internet experience, this phone seems pretty in design only, i wasted my money on this device, that's among worst smartphones i experienced.

  • I was also facing problems with kitkat update until i did the reset..... After the reset i m nt facing ny problems. It is working flawless. I seriously recommend all of u to do a reset... N thn use ths phn.... Everything is better than jelly beans The sound quality is not bad it doesn't hv tht kind volume tht wl blow ur head... I am personally very specific of about audio quality....clarity is good but it is nt made for bass lovers... I use sony xb30ex...

  • He frds!!! Suggest to buy mmx Gold/iris . Choose quality&life!! Not the Desigh n looks!!!I bought this phone by taking a chance.M'a friends advised me not to buy such Chinese handset!! The design is quiet good.and performance was also Ok!! The biggest fault I found was that the screen pasting got detached in jst 3 months and the speakers are also not working properly.kracking sound on high volume levels is really horrible....

  • With Gionee S5.5 the company has lost the little brand value that it had created by all its predecessor phone, E7 MINI, M2, E7, E6 etc 1st - with the delayed availability of the phone. 2nd - Then with the factory software on the phone-problem with certain apps like Facebook crash, camera app,etc 3rd - Heating issues, battery life. 4th - Huge delay in update to Kitkat 5th - Now their r problems with the updated version - Nq security not working, network issues, sound quality issues etc When i saw this phone 1st time on YouTube when launched at MWC 2014, i was really dazzled to get my hand on phone but now i feel disappointed, angry with the Company for not getting things right with this phone. As said by MD GIONEE INDIA," Gionee S5.5 is piece of ART" I totally agree "Gionee S5.5 is piece of ART, but not a smartphone to buy unless u want stylephone instead of smartphone"

  • I owned this mobile a week before and updated 4.4.2 but still WiFi gets on automatically and network signal is too week and fluctuates often how to get rid of this problem & my fb is not working it shows no network.....please some one help me to get rid of these problems.

  • I bought this phone one week ago and I am very much satisfied with its camera,speed and permomance. And the phone just looks amazing. The battery just drains about 2 to 3 percent for the whole night.

  • This phone is doing fine for me.. Awesome look, eye catcher.. Speed is good .games works well. Brousing is fast. Movies play well and camera works fine... WiFi 3g everything works fine.. What else I need.. Believe me guys its a most sexy and a real smart phone for me... Go for it.. After updates heating issue reduced...

  • After update heating issue reduced.. Every metal body has this issue... Don't bother much about it...

  • There some problem with ur headset....i hardly loose 3-4% of battery over night with data on all time. Stand by is the best part of this phone...it just dosent loose any battery backup...it only drains whn u r doin any tasks. And also this is a phone which has hardware compared to snapdragon 800 and this has a quadcore gpu...which is as good as adreno 320...so if u r buying such high performance device then it wl cost for battery life. Try using nexus 5 for a day and u wl knw wht is poor battery life. and gorilla glass 3 can easily break if ur phone drops with its screen facing bottom otherwise it will survive this is a fact for any phone using gorilla glass 3 Kitkat has reduced heating to some extent...n dnt wry about heating it is common with all high end smartphones....it is just because of all glass n metal frame u cn feel it more in comparison to phone made of plastic n poly-carbonate

  • it will be sold in bangladesh as walton-x 3 blade

  • I agree with you that all of them are bad, but Gionee is just one among them. My s5.5 front glass is broken with just a fall from 2 feet!!! Suppose to be a gorilla glass. Replacement cost is Rs. 7000.00 ? It is abad quality & faulty design phone.

  • yes..i am using it for last 1 month..and this phone is good

  • I'm using this phone since last one and half month. its battery drains very fast. I wake up at 8am with 100% battery and now at 10:43am its just 51% remained. all other features are great but this phone force u to charge in evening around 4pm. I switch on data every half hourly for approx 10min to read what's app msgs, display is not visible outdoor if brightness is less than 30-40%. so I keep brightness to 50 or 100% outdoor and minimum indoor. less performance is may be because of less chemical in slimmest battery.

  • Did anyone find rooting option for kitkat update>

  • is kit kat is helping in reducing heating isuue...I have seen many smart phone but no one is heatibg like this...

  • is the heating issue is resolved or not...I found phone is stil heating after kit kat update

  • Dude this was launched in February n started to sell after may.... N if u don't own it better not share ur opinion.... This is a good phone i hv been using it since a month now.... Kitkat is working great n battery backup is quiet good nw.... Getting a whole day backup with almost 2hrs of call nd 3.5 hrs screen on time... N with data on... Which is nice....

  • I bought this phone 15 days ago and every features of the phone is excellent ......... camera(front/ back )... call quality.... AMOLED screen superb ....gaming/watching HD videos excellent .....but battery drains quickly.My rating is 4/5.

  • this phone touch weak after 18 months and problems get start

  • Thanks amit.. are you using this phone?

  • this phone is good..no problem and it has latest andriod..go for it

  • Thx mate... i have done this now... hope this will solve the heating issues and battery backup...

  • i am using .micromax turbo and its features r same as elife gionee.. i wud suggest to go for turbo frns. if its price is high. othrwise ok.

  • Hi All, I want to buy this phone please suggest me shall I buy or not? I have seen lots of people talking so much negative about this phone

  • THESE ARE THE STEPS TO DO A RESET WITHOUT LOSING UR DATA... If u really want to hv good performance u hv to reset after update in my case it was hanginng n some how it was showing wifi on all time in my battery stats so i did a reset n it has been good aftr tht. This will also solve unread message problem n u wl not face any issue with NQ security. 1. Download an app called "Super Backup" from play store. 2. Open Super Backup go into apps backup then select all the apps u hv installed by ur self n u dont want to download again frm playstore and click on backup. 3. Now go into settings -> system backup -> select everything n start backup 4. By now u hv backed up ur apps n contacts n messages 5. Go to settings -> Backup and reset -> Factory data reset -> just click on Reset Phone Note: DO NOT click on Format phone storage or u will lose all ur data Now after u hv done the reset it wl strt fresh u hv to login into ur google account to start with the phone Now go to settings -> System backup -> now select the restore tab on top of screen, it will show u a backup file with its name as date and time just select it click on "Restore File" By doin this u wl get all ur contacts messages n call logs back Now for the apps...go to the play store download Super Backup as before Open Super Backup n goto Apps Backup now again from the top of screen select archived now select all the apps u want to restore n click install. It will keep on asking n just click on yes until all ur apps are installed. Note: U wl not Lose ur whatsapp messages because after reinstlling whatsapp will automatically restore the messages from memory or it wl ask... But u may lose ur progress in games if u rly care of it. Apart from that phone works much better after the reset n it will ask for some app updates nothing much.

  • i am using this phone from last 15 days.. after kitkat update everything is fine. phone heating its not real issue its common in smartphones especially easily noticeble in slim phones. if ur phone getting very heat in normal use it is having issue. if u playing game,video or net browsing then its fine not to worry.exceed heating 45'c must take further action.

  • If anybody having bug with unread message notification here a solution. go to setting >app >all >click message > click force stop > click clear data > now back to home screen n dont open message app just switch off then on ur phone, still notification showing now just open message then close n back to home screen. ur problem solved.

  • @bitss its not the problem with OS . Its the problem with the customization. The Samsung, HTC,gionee etc they do customization on the stock android kitkat which you usually see on Google nexus , moto g etc they doesn't customize properly I.e lack of knowledge ,development and testing leads to bugs in customized versions.

  • I think factory reset should do the revert . But we loose data that's what I am fearing.

  • I am luckily one of the early user of S5.5 in India. Using the phone from last 2 months. Phone has excellet and elegant design and its trendy. However I have observer the following problem with the phone during my hands on experience with the phone. 1) Phone has a heating problem 2) Some time when switching from wifi to 3g data link do not get up 3) Phone has some serious software bugs 4) FB was not working for initial few days but I got update for it 5)Whatsapp was not working and I had to factory reset the phone thrice . 6)Touch is not so excellent . Do not expect the touch quality of high end phone.

  • y in that mobile memory slout is nt available im soo sad for this plz im requesting to honur plz lunch another s5.5 with expandable memory with 64gb

  • I was also getting a same problem with NQ security but when i went to setting of nq security where we can disable the application in down side you ll see clear cache.....just clear it out and then you ll see its working....

  • Yeah i agree with the below after the Kit Kat update 1) Network is not as strong as before. Even my wifi struggles. I guess the older radio rom was better. 2) Notification bar sometimes turns white when using dolphin browser/whats app if ur using nova launcher. 3)Overall slightly smoother than before, cant tell the difference really. 4) Heating issue resolved. I played a game for around 15-20 mins it did get pretty warm but not as bad as it would earlier. All metal phones get warm when playing games is what i know. Even my friends htc one. In other notes my battery rapidly charges from 86-100% i.e it increases by 1% every 4-5 seconds. and discharges equally fast from 100-85 below that it discharges at the normal rate. Do you guys have this problem too? their service center tells me this is normal.

  • Dude can u plzz say me how did u restored d problem Step by Step ........

  • Well after the update i found 3 major problems. 1 network is so unstable 2 battery drain cause of that network essue 3 unread message shown when not at all inside.

  • after update in kitkat heating issue solved?? battery backup improved?? pls let me knw. pls drop me a mail [email protected] thank u

  • @srini, u r rite, even i too updated kitkat on s5.5. same issues like ur's. Also, have u noticed when u press home button, swipe the background apps, u will some some apps in black color. gionee developers should fix all the issues asap. I feel 4.2.2 jellybean was smoothier and better than this kitkat. Any idea how to move back to jellybean?

  • Lots of bugs in Note2 and galaxy 4 update to kitkat also.Its strange is it the opearating system or what else.

  • Lot of bugs in the Kitkat update...... :( 1)No unread messages in inbox but showing message notification. 2)Contacts doesn't synchronize with the dialer contacts, they show as unknown even if the contact is available. 3)Swipe from notification bar to settings bar doesn't work. 4)Some apps even installed doesn't have icon in appmanager, once we start the app from uninstall manager then the icon appears . 5)Double tap to awake doesn't respond properly. 6)Most worst of all font is very bad. These are the things i have noticed from past a week I think still more yet to come..... :(

  • I guess now all 5.5 owners are happy because of kit at update. Now every one are reporting resolution of heating issue and also battery life increased.

  • I don think Gionee is irresponsible.I think u haven't interacted with Sony, HTC high handiness in providing warranty service.Gionee S5.5 is a beautiful quality mobile .The only issue was battery and heT which has improved a lot after kitkat update.

  • I want to buy s5.5 within a week,i don't think so any type of problem . Gsm arena report that the eliff s5.5 update android 4.4.1 in 865mb and brings no.of new things add in this update. Terrible issue of software and heating problem but which android 4.2 or kitkt not heating problem(like htc one,lg g2,3, samsung s3). Bt memory is not enough only 16gb.

  • Please do not buy any of the Gionee phones. Gioneey is a irresponsible company. I have Elife s5.5 & I feel I made mistake of buying it.

  • I don't think the photo suite has this feature.U can use SMS backup and rstore app from Play.

  • Thanks! I was irritated with those stupid pop ups! Thanks alot.

  • Well it all depends on u bro. This is a fantastic phone btw..

  • Anybody here has issues with the audio profiles of the phone? I find the audio profiles terrible...there is no option to customize the sound profiles..

  • I was also having problem with NQ so i backed up my data n did a reset now all the problems are resolved....n NQ is working fine...n battery backup is improved plus heating is also reduced....overall a good update. I would suggest to do a reset as it helps in improving performance....if u are worried about re-installation of apps use the app called supper backup for backing up ur applications n gionee's own backup for messages contacts n call log. Just do a simple reset without erasing internal data

  • You don't have to buy this fone there many more to choose from. If this fone fits your needs and budget then by all means invest in this fone..

  • Thank u very much

  • No memory card slot is very bad. today 16gb is nothing

  • Yea your're right... it's getting pretty hot from time to time... when i use it for navigation for example... and yes my S5.5 also got bend a bit... you can bend it back^^ =P but i was also suprised that this can happen... it did not fall... it was just in my pocket... should not happen. Probably too slim for being as solid as we're used to. I'm also thinking about selling the phone but i'm not sure if i can do that with those crashing problems once a day=/ that's why i hope it's software problem... This was my unboxing:

  • Purchased on may 21st..its a gd phone no doubt.. Its fast .. Hanging problem ws nt dere.. Bt point to consider is d battery problem.. 1 Batery lyf is not gd 2 heating problem is dere. D set got hot frm upper portion bcoz of d sleekness and octa core processor.. 3 one major major problem dat i faced is ma set ma handpiece got twist.. I mean it got a bend frm backside and it startd lookin poor.. D reason wa i kept it in ma pocket and it got a bent... Cant believ dat...nw aftr one month i sold it... Seriou point to consider

  • I've the S5.5 since release. It's a great phone only the software had/has some problems... Performance got improved massivly till 2.0.8. The Kitkat update is not available to me yet:(. The Ami weather app still dose not work in europe... all chinese... and still there's only EN/CH. The build quality is superb. It looks and feels great. The camera is stunning and the ledflash is good too. The battery lasts for 1-2 days for me... depending on usage. GPS had massive problems on Amigo 2.0.0 but since 2.0.5 it works pretty well. But now 2 questions... because i've a problem with the phone since 2 weeks. 1. My S5.5 crashes at least once a day... no specific app... even with no app started... anywhere at any time. Can happen by just unlocking the screen or while surfing the web. The crash happens fast... so no regular shutting down... just blackout as if you would remove the battery. I can make this happen by pushing volume down plus power schort and fast several times... sometimes the phone restarts by just pushing power... sometimes i need to plug in the power cable. Dose anyone else have this problem? I hope it's software but i think it's hardware :( 2. Anyone in germany already updated to Kitkat? Dose it now offer more languages? Weather app working? It's not available for me yet. I hope Kitkat can solve my crashing problem. If not i've to use the warranty of liaow.com but the package sending to china and back is not cheap :/

  • Kitkat update is out?

  • Gionee is 4,4,4 kitkat update&try to better than xiaomi.

  • This has been the best phone ever held by me in my hand. Just feels so good to hold this. With no plastic in the body, The S5.5 clearly has a class. It shows in the looks. In the past 15 days of my purchase, i am still trying to find something negative about this phone. Flawlessly runs all high end games i was craving for in my last phone. Nil Lag. Best Specifications. Amazing camera quality. Sleekest design. The heating problem is same as in any other mobile under same heavy usage. You just feel it more because of negligible distance between your palm and processor, seperated by Metal.

  • Its a very good phone but its spec - 2gb ram 13mp rear camera 5mp front camera with ultra wide angel 1.7 octa core pl processor so which phone would you like to purchase..

  • It is such a very good phone compare to e7 I have also s5.5 and its work very good

  • Could u plz suggest smtng between 20-25k

  • damn......... i bought this 2 mnths b4.. today morning suddenly its touch sensitivity went to dead.... touch is not responding.... i approched authorised service centere... they told me they have to sent the phone to banglore for a check..it takes atleast 10 days...unfortunately i didnt back uped my datas..... its very disappointing........:-(

  • bro try LG G2 its very gud for gaming and internet using charge backup also very good currently im using this mobile but this mble very expensive around 40K something fi u interest go and chk youtube...

  • i have bought this phone this is very good phone,for heavy gaming some laggy and over all very gud fone and waiting for kitkat relese and kitkat phone

  • I would rather say that the screen in this phone is btr thn samsung....in samsung things appear sharp because the colors are extremely saturated..... Im very satisfied with the camera....just hold the camera still n try to use flash even in broad daylight somehow it improves the result

  • The phone is good for regular users, but if heavy gaming is involved then battery will be a problem. I bought this phone 15 days ago, battery lasts for 1 day but if used for gaming, will exhaust in 3 hours.

  • Guys i'm planning to buy either of e7 or s5.5 in the upcoming month.....i'm a heavy gamer and internet user.....so guys can you please suggest me whichone should i buy.....???

  • This is the best phone in Gionee

  • guys camera is bit disappointing pixels are bursting while zooming is any setting ther?

  • Awesome phone

  • It's great phone I'm writing my user experience from last 3 weeks 1.all HD games works smoothly on high graphics like gt racing 2,asphalt 8,mc4,many other 2.amigo ui is ok,but its eating up a lot of ram. 3.heating is high while playing games but come on even iPhone gets heat up. 4.Battery backup is very bad from 100%-85% in just 10mins of usage that to just on Twitter n Instagram 5.service centers r really bad should improve . 6.y the home keys gets non responding some Times.

  • what my point is my screen is not sharp as my brothers grand2 even it has higher pixel density but pictures and colour reproduction is not that live and accurate is their any settings required?

  • I dont know if this is going to help u....i found an app called screen adjuster on play store....it can change RGB settings, contrast and brightness. Give it a try may be it wl solve ur issue.

  • -awesome phone -if you want to play games buy a playstation -battery life is standard compared to other brands like xperia z samsung -camera isvawesome. -works smooth -all the bugs havevbeen fixed - best phone in the budget of rs.20000 - go n have it i guarantee that you will not be disappointed....all the best

  • what should I do to adjust screen contrast sharpness colour saturation

  • Regarding expandable memory.... With this phone the main reasons why expandable memory is avoided is because of extremely thin profile...as already things inside are cramped up n since there is no removable back cover so it requires significant amount of space on the sides to make a slot for memory card. second is performance....suppose that u r using a class 4 micro sd card which is the most commonly used....the write n read speeds are quite slow with class 4 so it shows up in the performance when apps are installed in sd card.

  • This phone is good all of specifications is absolute.my question is why is this model expanded memory up to 32 gb or expandable memory functionality is not given that. please answered this question this is a very important to customer.

  • I use this phone 20 days ago. I'm fully satisfied all over its performance Like camera(is too good) Battery back(satisfactory) Design (lovely) Light weight Touch very smooth And finally every says your fone is superb Its my real exp.

  • guys im using this fone it works awesome i hve this phone ..battery works fine display is good!! sound is good!! reading all these reviews i thought i wont buy it but im glad i bought it !! peop go for it!!!

  • I am using this phone since one month and not satisfied with 3 things Battery backup Heating problem Sound quality is very very poor I want to sale out my phone due to these three problems. Now thinking to buy Oppo Find 7.

  • Got this device 2 days ago in. Nigeria Build: amazing, Accessories: usb otg is very valuable. I do not like the 2-pin wall plug so I still use my 3-pin blackberry charger. Leather flip Case is good Battery: As far as I'm concerned, this is the only niggle. It could have been better Performance : no lag. I did find Amigo launcher to require some getting used to. Changed to Go Ex Conclusion: great value for money. Very beautiful and attention grabbing. I wish it had a bigger Batt, Led notification light and 32gb memory. Advance if memory card slot wasnt a deal breaker

  • Mr.dnk as u said kitkat will b available this month. On what basis u r saying

  • No issues of such.It works like butter.

  • does the cellphone support hindi language and hv the google play coz i hv seen so many users are saying the its not routing on google play

  • it a based on cortex a7 but nanufactured by mediatek a7 cortex technology arm provides designs and architecture so no t every company follow the whole design and architecture thats why they lack behind. if you are looking for best processor phones you should go for either qualcomm 800 or 801 or exynos processor which are generally run on new technology and with samsung latest phones with latest technology

  • Why joking.?I am using this phone since 10 day nothing problem found personal experience.why lying ? I also know that you don't have this phone you r just lying that you have this phone.You boys need Nokia 1100 type scrapped phones.

  • 28 of this month

  • the GIONEE s5.5 is made of mediatech chipset in this its denoted as cortex

  • imak case link which i posted in previous comment is with huge shipping charge...this is the one with free shipping:

  • Official date for kitkat release was 12th of this month but there was a 15 days grace period mentioned as well and the customer care people r also saying tht it will be available by the end of this month.....so i guess we wl hv to wait tl the end of ths month. Regarding back cover...i am adding the links: This one is of ebay india: there many color options available I personally like Imak case for this as i hv white n gold n imak case are ultraclear so they preserve the orignal looks of the phn....but it is available on aliexpress n wl tke not less than 20 days to get delivered:

  • Should i brought this phone wit battry problem plz tell

  • anyone got quality back cover as I am not comfortable with flipcover

  • what's is expected date for kit kat update?

  • That is what exactly happened with me. I dropped phone at less than 2 feet height! & glass is broken. Gionee jokers do not accept that there is a design fault in this phone. I guess this problem is due to bad design & bigger problem is a metal frame. Glass is not given proper cushioning withing metal frame to absorb impacts.

  • it takes about 1.5 to 2 hrs fr full chrg frm nil if u r using its own charger n battery does a good job.

  • All d problem 'll be only with a simple software update.

  • 3rd class phone. battery takes a long time to charge. but it discharge very fast. battery gets hot. wastage of money. lost 5000 bucks in a day after purchasing it. battery not stands for even half day.

  • what a wastage of money. After purchasing it i sold it the 2nd day. battery too hot & takes a long time to charge but small time in discharge. i dont know how it passed quality tests. please please dont buy this bull shit. i lost 5000 bucks in a single day

  • Its very bad phone battery issue,battery gets heat after 10 to min 15 while playing game and screen having issue application get hanged waste phone

  • I got this phone few days ago ,when i talk few mints it got very warm. Bed at all ,my galaxy s4 much good ,samsung ur the best

  • ankur amoled screens are very different in comparson to IPS panels now days most mobiles has OGS(one glass solution) so everything is sticking together at front so what is happening in this phone is that heat is getting conducted both in front n back...now here the PCB board used is also the worlds slimmest... what i can say is that the heat is not insulated anywhere... but for me it only heats up while playing games nothing else and pls do enable cpu power saving mode in battery section that helped a lot. I am eagerly waiting for kitkat which is due this month as it will resolve most of problem.

  • i agree with u Nitish... i am also getting 3.5+ hrs screen time n with all time data on on network...which is by any standards good.... U people should use nexus 5 for a day and u wl know what poor battery life means and about heating i hv seen this phone go to maximum of 65 degrees and that was too while playing asphalt 8 and on other hand nexus 5 goes upto 80 degrees while playing asphalt 8. and this can be checked by using cpu temperature app from play store. Panasonic P81 has a 720P screen and thats the reason it dosent get hot because now the same processor has to work on only half the pixels compared 1080p and that reduces a huge amount of load.

  • it get extremely hot near the earpiece can not do voice calling for more than 5min. its that irritating. heating near the earpiece has nothing to do with the slimness of the phone.

  • Majority people has issues with battery and heating.The mobile is beautiful but there r issues which the company needs to resolve.Half heartily I gave my S5.5 and got Panasonic 81.P81 has same hardware except the ram which is 1 gb.The battery last much longer and no heating like as in s5.5.

  • battery is really bad other wise fon is one of the best fon till 30000 k range .plz so smthing about battery .. there is no use of fon witbout battery

  • Most of the users r facing heating and battery issue.I gave away the cell and bought panasonic P81.Its great with same chipset but only 1 gb ram.But vey less heating and tht too while playing jravy games.

  • Shocking to many badmouthing the battery or build part. Doesn't seem that they actually used the phone or used many phones to actually compare. Been using since a while and happy with not only build but battery fares much better over my Nexus 4. Always 3+ hrs screen on time

  • For all d heavy gamers..u go nd buy playstation or a portable charger...if u want to buy d whole world in just 20000 den dere is nthng made for u..this phone is great

  • if i buy this phone from snapdeal, flipkart, amazon, etc; will the service center accept it for warranty plz tell

  • Its very costly=23000

  • buddy Gorilla glass is made to take the impact of accidental drop.Normal drop will not break the glass unless and until it's hard drop that no glass can take.

  • Battery quality is very BAD. Excessive heat. Could not hold the phone after some time. Lot of bugs in the software. For eg: Instead of Chennai it is showing Chennad.

  • It takes me at immense surprise that Gionee ignored very important basic things such as excessive heat with gaming and very low battery life which could severely impact their sales. Gionee should perform aggressive testing from end-user perspective before releasing any of their products to the market. If they have a plan to become one of the top players in the market, I don't think it can be realized with these very basic issues.

  • Yes,KK will be ready for OTA.

  • yes the kitkat update will bo out by the end of this month. and pls select the "cpu power saving mode" in battery section of settings this will bump up the battery life n reduce heating without ny noticeable performance difference

  • can anyone say that this phone software upgrade to Kitkat or not?

  • can anyone say that this phone software upgrade to Kitkat or not?

  • Please be careful before buying this phone. It is very fragile & battery backup is very bad. I droped accidently my phone from 2 feet height & front glass is broken. Repair cost for this is Rs. 7000.00 which is 30% cost of the phone!!! So please anybody is thinking of buying gionee, please think 10 times before buying.

  • See the battery thing is a real hardware issue not software , you have not audited the battery properly and see you have pulled the crowd towards buying this phone but if wont rectify the battery problem. You really loose every thing . No one will even buy your phones in future.

  • The phone by build quality,design and features is really awesome, but the major problem is with the battery back up. On a minimum usage also it doesn't even provide a back up of 6hrs. See what ever the comments with only positives you see on this forum ,I think its Gionee marketing team. The heating issue is really their its like keeping some heating element in your pocket , even using whatsapp cause the phone to become warm by the way i am using the flipcase!! . Over all thing is Its a really good TV If you have charger in your pocket ok or else deal with it.

  • yup the battery reduces like a tick clock every minute 1% and by 1 hour 0% :( , the problem isnt with software its with the battery

  • A small request to everyone just wait for kikat it will be there by the end of this month....n wl definitely improve this phone in every aspect...!!! This is a very good phone in terms of hardware the only problem is software which wl be sorted out soon. so wait for it.

  • I hav same problem

  • plastic shit like galaxy s4 dosent even stand a chance in front of this in terms of performance n build quality. n kitkat is goin to release for this phn by the end of this month. Just compare the amoled of this phn with S4 or S5 n u will know the difference

  • if ur phone is heated up put it into water ,problm solvd ;)))))))

  • no i dont know

  • are u out of ur mind?what a comparison

  • Guys, Can some one comment on the real world battery life of this phone. I tested in wifi continuous browsing and it seemed to drop by 1% every minute. The heating is not really an issue. Use the in box flip cover and it does cool down pretty fast.

  • do any one know how to root gionee elife s5.5??

  • did u apply the front n back protector which came with in the box....??

  • its not a problem...i am also using the same phone n this is in common with every user...this is because of the slimness of the phone and the back glass along with the metal frame is used as a heat sink. there is nothing to worry about

  • did u instal the front n back scratch guards which came in to the box...??

  • the phone is normal i am also observing same thing it is not an issue...it is bcz of the slim profile and glass back

  • bought this through snapdeal got the delivery 4hrs ago. design, looks, performance excelent bt phone gets really hot within 15mins of normal usage. is the prob comman? should i get it replaced?

  • Purchased it 3hrs ago. Design looks n performance awsome. Bt phone heats up within 15mins of medium usage. Is the problem comman or should i get it replaced?

  • i hv bought this device 4 days ago. my phones back glass has been broken even i used it carefully.dont know how it happens.

  • i am not happy sound system is not good & battery is heating more... i am purchase just 2 days

  • the android can change to kitkat

  • I agree with u bits....i hv also observed the same thing... customer care people are saying that kitkat will improve battery backup as well as reduce heating.

  • I have personally tested this phone in many markets it was Ok but not too good highlight is camera and octacore.. But battery is terrible also no kitkat to make it fast.. Heats up too much.. My friends who use it are content.. Conclusion:a good looking devise which has a good hardware but battery and heating spoils it And those who say Samsung is worst I am using s4 with no issues no heating, good battery kitkat good camera premium phone

  • actually the only problem with this device is low battery backup.Infact in idle mode it is hardly using any battery but heavy use drains the battery quickly.

  • stop using it instead use chrome it works absolutely fine

  • there is a problem with ur particular handset and u should take it to the service centre.....infact mine is giving very good battery backup. and dont use an analyser instead do tht ur self...battery dischrg is never linear...so the results are abrupt

  • my mobile s uc browser itself closing while browsing any solutions please help me friends

  • gionee elife users who have battery backup prob download batttery drain analyser from ply store , u will actually know how much % is battery draining per hour .mine is showing 32% per hour . which mean it will last for 3 hours . seriosly batttery backup is really bad

  • I agree it heats up but that is common with every mobile. The difference is that in this mobile there is just a 0.3mm glass in between ur hand and processor so u can feel it instantly whereas in other phones there are layers of plastic which is an insulator about battery dropping from 100% to 85% please do the system upgrade. This wl also solve facebook problem if anybody is facing it battery backup is good considering the kind of performance u get it can easily last for a whole day and as per my testing i did 1. an hour of gaming 2. a whole movie of 90 minutes 3. an hour of music play back 4. the phone was with data on for the whole time and i was continuously chatting on whatsapp. The screen time i got was around 4hrs which is gr8. All in all it is a good buy considering the build quality and performance.

  • does it has notification lite on the top?

  • Mobile is good but only issue is battery backup it doesn't last long if u r a heavy user.It may be around 3-5 hrs of heavy non stop usage.This may be ok compare to industry standard and more ever super amoled displays need more power.

  • the android can change to kitkat

  • He dudes M going to buy this phone so any comments on this?

  • Don't buy it...... I also face battery problem n finally i have to replace it

  • Goinee s 5.5 is the best phone for me

  • The gionee smart phone is much better then other phones. it has many features and Gionee manufacturing very standard smartphones and keep it up Gionee.

  • WARNING !!!! Worlds Slimmest phone S5.5 feedback : I was the one of the few who got bought this phone after the launch. Waste of money don't buy . It has battery issue which does not even last for 4 hours and heats up. No one listens and help in customer service, brand new purchase they are saying to leave it at service center. Ridiculous....

  • I want to buy Gionee Elife S5.5. Is it good mobilr?
