vivo X5 - User Reviews

  • How can i buy new battery cover & its tempred glass

  • Cannot connect camera

  • Correct

  • I m using vivo v5 m using 4g but after i off data my whatsapp and fb still working like net on plzz tell me eat is ths

  • I don't recommend vivo phone at all, with the price RM1k plus you can get other brand with better spec. Currently using vivo x5, first battery drain fast, then app cannot be updated (show insufficient storage) and now sim card cannot be detected.Don't trust what the salesman said!

  • Hi I am using x5pro, when someone calls me I am not able to see the complete number I can see only first 5 numbers So plz help me to fix this

  • Send to vivo store. You should had let them update it for you. No charge. I know it is easy steps but to avoid encountering problems like yours, i always send it to vivo.

  • Im using vivo for over 5 months. Last night I tried to upgrade my software. Everything was doing perfectly fine then a message pops up on my screen, install or install later. I hit install.. and said do not perform any operation. Etc So I didn't. Then, I was on optimizing page. 1...47 then I got stuck at App starting up, I waited several hrs until the battery got drained. I charged my phone. I tried removing my sim cards and sd card. There is no way to remove the battery, koz it is a built in bat! I hate this phone, always givin me a headache. What am I gonna do?? Pls help.. it's been hours...

  • Phone is good in only outer look others please dont buy the scarp this vivo models. it would be far better to go samsnung. htc. or even micromax and others. vivo does have problems in every device. i have x5pro and having problem of storage. so if u give coustomer 4g and 3g and just 5 gb phone and 6 to 7 gb system storage ! Are u mad. and price is 24k.

  • How can I insert sd card on vivo X5L

  • Hi, I'm also using vivo smart phoney51 and encounter the same problem..despite, I'm having problem to restart the phone before charging.the sd card is not useful at all

  • uninstall playstore n google services n reinstall them back. I had the same problem before. It shud be okay then you can updating your apps. Do not disable any google related services. Hope this helps.

  • yes me to, its a same problem, i cant download and update my apps. the storage was not enough,

  • Hi...If you still have enough space in your system then it is a problem with your network signal strength and stability. Perhaps you can use strong and stable wi-fi network, I am sure your problem will be solved. Good luck.

  • I have use vivo x5pro since 6month ago..I have problem when im trying to update my application.its not working..when Im try to update..its download for 3 times but can't installed...that worst my data..any friend have same problem with me??please help me..

  • I definitely agree with you. It is not friendly to download many apps as the default system is split into two memories. It is the most disappointed thing in this phone

  • my vivo x5l is a single sim and no xpandable sdcard. i cnt accest internet. i dont no why..can you help me to accest internet.not wifi.only data.

  • becomes hot. everytime i play games. system space only about 6 gb.which i thought the 16 is for the whole system space..but end up,the remaining 9GB acts like memory card..this bother me,because most of the non-gaming apps were stored in system space n cannot be moved to sd card. plus, i just bought 16gb sd card(which is no use) because i was hoping to install much apps,but end up most of them need to be stored in system space.graphics is ok..laggy?not so often because all phones out there became lag if u dont clean the junk.the camera is superb btw.

  • Yeah, me too.. always when gaming or using online encounter overheat problems and battery draining issue.

  • i'm from m'sia..using this phone about 6 month, the problem that i found is, the phone quickly heat then went it hot the battery drain so fast,always encounter the sd card unxpected remove..then the sd card damage..ermm..i have to pull out the the sd card and put back...ps sorry my english broken

  • When I starting playing online games such as Holy knight on this phone... the graphic lagging and not work smooth as other phone like my friend... he just use Samsung note 2 , graphic work smoothly and not lack, compare the spec, vivo x5 is more better then Samsung note2... why its lagging?? any resolve way of this issue? RAM is 2 GB which is consider ok

  • I have vivo x5 and it doesn't open images on google.very strange..such a bull shit phone

  • Is Vivo X5 can play game so well??Because I want to buy it....

  • sme here

  • Why i can't download need for speed no limits. I hope you can make some think. I so loving this game. please...!

  • Why i can't download need for speed no limits. I hope you can make some think. I so loving this game. please...!

  • Does anyone have issue with their Bluetooth where you get a message stating "unknown user wants to access your phone book and call logs" and also asking whether you want to connect to another user eventhough the bluetooth on the phone is switch off at that moment.

  • i'm having the same prob with you. :'(

  • My friend have vivo x5 and she had a different problem which is sometime the device will be able to restart even she doesn't set it to auto restart. Not to mention she had twice a time do factory reset but it happen again. So? It is a software/hardware problem or what?

  • I got 2.91 system space...cant do anything..lot of apps cant be install..this is bullsh*t

  • Con: 1. No notification on Whatsapp/FB Messenger/wechat on the icon. 2. Contact Number searching very slow especially with more than 1000+ contact number. It will took more than 10 sec to search. 3. No video call 4. Vivo split memory into 2 partitions (system space & phone memory). I very disappointed whenever I download many apps it will show "insufficient space on system space" no matter how I transfer apps to memory card or phone clean or clear cache or clear data always not enough system space even phone memory still got available space. With 4-5GB of system space (new phone) you can't download many apps. 5. Hotspot cannot find in Custom Display List (Shortcut). Have to go to setting to open 6. Most of the Vivo Salesman in Malaysia will tell you that all apps (whole memory) can be transfer to memory card in fact most of them unable to transfer.

  • i cant turn on my vivo

  • 6 month after purchase, the phone is out of order: unable to take good picture during messenger typing, unable to view contact, unable to choose our own music download, unable to root easely to change language and/or set location, and the worst battery doesn't want to filled up when in charging even if send to a repair shop, no internationnal warranty !!!

  • Hello, I bought mine 2 month ago. Camera is good, really good one, it changes me a lot from the iphone 4, and ther are many options for shooting pictures. alreday inside, I mean, not add on ones. The cellular is good; battery sleeps after one day using camera, 4G LTE, movie player and music player. the sound hifi with earing seaker is incredible clear and with big Bass, and immersive. I lost many apps due to the incompatibility between apple and android phone.

  • I cant open my phone

  • any one know the light indicator has how many colour? as i know whatsapp now has features for changing light.. and i cannot find custom ringtone for whatsapp apps after i update the system for my vivo x5..

  • downgrade to original setting.

  • so what can i do with my x5 since the battery drained so fast. Is it because of the latest update and cause the battery got problem?

  • At first, you'll suprise by its specification that is so good.. I bought this phone 2 month ago, i just like everthing about this phone except for its battery and quickly heat up even you just play a game less than 2 minutes.. The battery drained so fast and take long time for fully charge.. Phone quickly become really hot less than 2 minutes of playing game.. I'm really feel dissapointed and going to sell this phone..

  • USB is working Vivo x5 smart phn Wow

  • Got to turn it on. Looks like a flat battery case. Just hold it a little longer after charging to turn it on. However, I notice the charging of the phone takes really long? Is that normal? 3hrs and it won't still charge full.

  • I am unable to turn on my phone after the battery runs off. I charge and yet no green light. Unable to start my phone. Been a day already. Any one experiencing this? Bought it about a month ago.

  • I'm having the same problem with u. So do u fix ur problem? If yes, how u fix it?

  • Vivo should launch there phones in black colour too, better if they come up with different colour.

  • seriosly if co want to run product..they need compititive...n..upgarade..in my phone i didnt recognized gujarati language ....i realy wonder...

  • Try keeping the on/off button depressed for a longer period of time.

  • Under advanced settings you can modify the date and time. You need to uncheck Buddhist time, so that it changes back to 2015.

  • I found that the contact is having some serious problems. I can't search the contact even though the number is in my contact list, and what apps can't be sync if adding new number. The hardware is good but the software need some improvement.

  • Yes It Has Micro SD Card Slot And Run SD Card Upto 128 GB

  • Hello guys, anyone who owns this phone, I would like to know whether it has a microSD slot or not? Because some say it does, and some say it does not. Could anyone shed some light regarding this matter?

  • I cannot set the date, It start with from year 2558 why

  • After using the phone for more than a month, I find the battery is draining fast even though the usage is predominantly calls, whatsapp, fb and internet browsing. After a few calls lasting for 30-45 min, the battery goes down really really low. I think this is a major area of concern. Otherwise the slick user interface and great looks of the phone are still an advantage but for the battery.

  • why my vivo x5 cannot open? even when i charge the green light is not turn on? i bought this phone last 2 week ago. somebody plz help me

  • I hope will buy soon !

  • i have vivo x5.. and i have 2 samsung smartphone.. battery life so good and not drain very fast like my samsung s2 and tab 7 plus.. even i palying games 4-5 hour.. the internet connetion so fast on downloading or uploading.. for now im happy to use vivo x5 with best camera and funtouch OS.. im waiting for my vivo xshot and xplay

  • after using last 10 days x5 found excellent and good battery life,easy to use,worthy to buy.

  • I bought vivo X5 last week, and its quite ok, but the battery drain very fast and when i take photos with flash at night, the picture turns yellow. Why???

  • Its processor is Qualcomn Snapdragon 615Tm Octa core 1.5 GHz, 64 bit

  • See this guy,comments the same thing.Are you spy coming from Sammy company?

  • Well,copy and paste,a person with 3 account.Brainless.

  • Bought this phone after contemplating many phones and after much thought. Firstly sharing my needs of selection: - good quality dual-sim phone - preferably with 4G LTE on one sim (there's not many good phones out there with 4G even for one sim) - not too big at 6" and not too small less than 5" - good looking to carry for business and pleasure - good battery life I zeroed in on to buy HTC Desire 820s, but when I went to the store to buy it, it's huge longish screen put me of and the battery life based on some feedback from friends. I came across Vivo X5 (not X5 Max as it is called in this part of the World) and pleasantly found it met all my requirements. Only downside was: - cost; it was quite a premium compared to other Chinese phones and - supposed to be a weak battery @ 2250 mAH. But the store person explained it's "iManager" feature that helps to shut down unused apps automaitcally and save battery. I bought it and using for a week now. Based on my usage, ie long conference-calls and mostly browsing the battery lasts more than a day. Need to add, it's slim profile, premium looks, professional camera options, "air touch" feature where you can unlock and slide without touching the phone and the sturdy aluminium strip along the 4 sides all adds to the really premium look and is a joy to look at.

  • i got vivo x5 last week ... function of samsung smartphone better than vivo.... its expensive price we got if compare samsung phone with same specification and quality....

  • Is it this 3model x5s x5l x5v the casing same use ?
