  • how to get a sim me lock code?

  • I'm in Kenya n av a problem wt my Vodafone 975, my touc h screen is no longer sensing how can u help me?

  • I have hadthis phone for the past 2 years my parents got it to my as a gift since my old smartphone broke,first 2 months was ok when you start downloading some apps you can really see the phone slowing down more and more,i used to format my phone every 2 or 3 months so it wouldnt lag so much,battery barely hold up to 1 day with medium usage,when i unlock the phone it s always disconected from wifi for some wierd reason,if you like games this is not the right phone when you format it for the first week or 2 if you dont install any aps it can even run csr classics and csr racing smotthly after downloading even 1 app game crashes and lags allot,one relly good feature of the phone even tho you dont expect it its the camera it was crazy focus and you can get some crazy macro shots if you use it right(check ronaldos13 on instagram all photos are taken with this phone)overall its not that great but as a first smartphone its good thank you for your time

  • hi ! i get a unusuall trouble with this kind of phone.. when i turn the wifi it's remain on "on" and actually doesn't connect to any wi-fi router , and i can't stop it at all, same as the bluetooth ,gps and radio but the 3G data it's work fine ...my questions now are why suddenly i've been get in this trouble ? it's there something alse what i can do to fix ?

  • Frustratingly slow, but you get what you pay for. Good beginner smartphone for your child if you buy one used. Dropped it several times with nary a scratch, so there's that.

  • Like with connecting any device to wi-fi check the following, 1. password 2. connecting to correct wireless network 3. Is MAC filtering enabled on router? I have this phone and it connects straight away, never had a problem, hope this helps.

  • nuk bon fare vk

  • hi, when trying to connect to wifi, it says wifi is on, and connect strength is excellant, but says authorisation problem! what does this mean, and can u help me please? ty in advance

  • yes is possible, i do that all the time

  • Yes is possible, i do that all the time

  • i don't think that's possible

  • press volume down and on/off button at the same time

  • how can i take an screenshot?

  • How do i turn on my v 975

  • How do i turn my v975 on without the on button?

  • i would like to know how to make AGAIN my camera to record mpeg4 and no3gp.do anyone know? by the way i gor it one year with protection and it is very nice cheap phone.thank u

  • I have this phone and 3 weeks after I bought it the screen cracked...no fall , no bang. three people i know had the exact same problem. Anyone else ??

  • I know and if i had the money i'd go for the 16 gb version of moto g but unfortunately the 16 gb costs like almost double the money of the 8 gb version in my couuntry and i don't use cloud for storing my data while having an usb flash drive in my pocket everytime i need to watch a video or play music it just seems kinda off to me :/ i'm currently using vod 3 a good phone for what it cost me and also i bought it together with a 16 gb memory card and i used more than 10 gb of memory already(apps & multimedia) what's why i preferred vod 3 over moto g 8gb version

  • paid 65 euros on clearance. it's a phone and in a year it'll be replaced, that's the way the world works. if you pay over 100 euros for a phone, you are throwing your money away.

  • the Moto G *is* better than this phone. The non expandable 8GB/16GB isn't even an issue as you can use cloud storage/a usb flash drive. The moto G is a far better device. I guarantee it. This is a cheap budget device and likely feels and performs like one, the Moto G is a cheap budget device which feels and performs like a midrange device.

  • xperia j it's better

  • This phone in my country is 110 euro and in comparison with moto g 8gb, moto g might be a better phone but it doesn't have enough memory(no memory card avaible) nokia x except for the nokia brand it doesn't have anything that can give him the upper hand againts the vod 3. So only Nokia 520 is better than this phone but in my country it costs like 40-50 euros more :/

  • There are many better phones at this price, Like Lumia 520, Nokia X or slightly older android phones or something like the 8GB MotoG, all below $200.

  • go to message than to settings and notificatinons and turn on

  • Of course. I use both.

  • Hello, I bought this phone a few months ago and I'm content by my choice, good price, good phone. But a month ago, I lost the sound of SMS notifications and I can't restore it, no matter what I did. Not even Vodafone employees couldn't help me solve the problem, so... could you, please, help me?

  • Like what?

  • good phone with a big screen and not expensive

  • is this phone better than vod smart mini.please tell me!

  • goodfone &nice screan

  • good phone nice screen

  • This phone is dead slow. Maybe good for elder people and those with minimal requests but not for anyone who wants to enjoy a smartphone. There are many phones with better specs and performance at this price.

  • yes

  • does vodafone smart 3 support whatsapp or viber app?

  • my best fone

  • Hi there. Can you give me an email address so I can send you the manual? Cheers

  • I cannot rive this phone. I lost the instruction manual and the shop was unhelpful in getting me another. I cannot find much help on line, only things to add on. All I need is to make calla and send texts and find it very difficult, especially in emergency. I cannot end a call but need to wait for the person at other end to hang up. I feel a total idiot

  • i have bought this phone. it's fairly nice. it doesn't have some fatures like other phones like samsung, nokia idk some features are missing...or maybe i haven't found them yet xD but all in all it's a fun fone to have 5 megapixel camera is awesome. transparent back, so you can see the battery, idk why but meh it's a design :)... i give it a 7/10. cheers

  • Black,white and pink

  • Got mine free from Vodafone Romania, it's better then my old Galaxy S :))

  • bad battery life. it goes off in 4-5 hours.

  • how many colours does this phone have?

  • If the battery gets hot it much likely is when you are using higher power requirement apps or when charging, in those ocasions the cycles of the batery are much higher and the CPU/GPU also heat the mobile

  • GUYS is this phone going to be upgraded to 4.2.1?

  • GUYS is this phone going to be upgraded to 4.2.1?

  • From personal experience (have them both) this one. If you root the huawei and install a custom rom then go with huawei

  • Xperia E dont bother no flash no front camera and rear camera only 3.2 mp. Seriously recomend sony xperia miro

  • I have this phone. It's a good one but when I use it the battery gets hot... Idk what to do b'cause I love my phone, except the battery problem.

  • 125 � in Vodafone Spain in prepay , then you can unlock it here: for 10�

  • if swapping the points is 85 � in Portugal

  • Sorry ... 114 Euro !

  • It's only 145 Euro on Vodafone Romania ...

  • How can.i buy itt?

  • It is wrong they don't inform the GPU of this mobile.Actually its GPU is PowerVR-SGX531 which is better than Adreno 200.I hope GSM Arena inform that in the future.Thank you!!!
