ZTE Blade G V880G - User Reviews

  • Where do you get that you can flash CWM there is none for it

  • why my zte not read sim card

  • in v5 processor is 1ghz to reduce overheating. for optimal performance of software, do root, flash cwm, and flash another rom, such as 4.1.2 v10 sweden or 4.1.2 v14 belgium! disable/uninstall all unused app in settings.

  • I was frustrated by this phone. Even though its screen size was O.K for me (4,5"), the price was rather low and the material used acceptable I was facing significant problems on a daily basis. Severe lags, many "own" reboots and one day while being outside I could not activate due to relatively cold weather (around 4 degrees Celsius) !!!!!. Despite its challenging price, do not buy this one, you would get frustrated, remember my words.

  • I got this phone from a friend and it looked nice and fancy at first, but soon I came to realize all its cons. My parties don't hear me well. Many applications including Camera and Viber very often do not respond or simply close out of the blue. It's painfully slow, it's driving me crazy. Sometimes the Alarm clock doesn't ring although I set everything properly. I can't change the lock screen photo any more although it was possible at the beginning. I can't wait to get a new phone, this one is RUBBISH.

  • I can not understand why ZTE has changed the specifications from version 3 and 1,2ghz in version 5.0 The phone processor 1ghz...Bought the phone with the specifications under the gsm arena and was surprised to discover that he had other specifications .... buying Christmas 2014 dual core 1ghz,ram 512 but only 386 from the user..and the phone is version 5.0

  • Rly bad phone, slow, memory lack, camera bugs.... I decided to buy a new phone Oneplus one. This ZTE may be cheap, but frustrating to work with.

  • it doesn't have 512mb ram it has 376mb

  • Ya same happens with me when i launch a good game it stops at middle and goes to home

  • Use Rocket Player and headphones with thin 3.5 mm jack, headset jacks are too thick to fit in. There's plenteous of good under 30 Eur headphones to buy.

  • i have a problem with listing to my music when i connect my headset the sound is really bad but when i play a little bith with the pin (that you insert in your phone) i get a good sound. but than when i let go of the pin - the sound is bad again. anyone who is familiar with this problem? my headset works on other phones just fine thanks!

  • Endomondo works fine.

  • can this phone work with net 10

  • Is anyone use the Endomondo or SportsTracker apps in this phone (or in the V955 with 2 sim)? Does it works? I see that phone doesn't have compass...

  • Pls, Blade G V7.0 android 4.1.2 has NFC? If it has ,how to activate? Thnk's!

  • disabling an app means that the app goes in hibernation, no more battery consumption, or RAM or space on processor. Its actually safest way to stop an app. It doesn't even shows on your menu..i mean app hides.. total hibernation..becomes invisible, better than trying to delete an app by methods like rooting if you don't exactly know the consequences, or an important file may get deleted.

  • Hey,my phone felt into the water..what shall i do? PLEASE HELP!! this is very important thank you

  • I never had this problem, probably your internal memory is full. You can disable/delete apps you don't use without worries as long they aren't system apps.

  • Please help, why is my phone reboots itself sometimes has the latest update? Can I disable unused applications, will that harm my phone, for example Google chrome, Google +, hangouts...

  • Please help, why my phone sometimes restarts by itself, has the latest update? Can I disable unused apps, will that harm my phone, for example sam google apps chrome, google+...

  • Hello ppl,is there any (but not the nungarian) gustom or cm or some ROM...Can someone help me? Thank you!

  • My display is actually 240ppi, not is mentioned here, but still don't have compass or orientation sensor, it iw with newest firmware.. So even maybe a newer better model still not much approved.. anyhow, phone is very good in all else..

  • The ram of the phone is low. Clear it with a free task manager app from store and it will go better (I think).

  • Why does my zte bag when i play games?

  • No magnetic sensor, so compass apps won't work. The same is for augmented reality orientatin, it can't use compass features. The specs article on gsma is for Pre-serial model, all Blade G models launched in 2013 lack magnetic sensor and have a better 240ppi IPS LCD screen.

  • Does this phone has compass? In specifications here this option exist but when I instal the compass software it can't detect orientation sensor (or magnet). Anyone has experience with this? Everything else in this phone is fantastic, battery is great, display is also fantastic, everything work perfect, camera is very good, sound is ok, maybe a beat less loud but is with good quality and with better earphones is ok. This phone is surprisingly good for that money, worth much more..

  • That is abnormal, my ZTE Blade G always has at least 50mb free ram even when I run BBM, UC browser and BS player with a radio station on. I think you should disable/uninstall apps you dint use, specially the google ones. For example I disabled google now and it gave me a great boost. In addition download Android Assistant, whitelist apps you commonly use and do a quick clean on every boot of your phone (wait few mins until all apps launch though ) it will leave only essential apps and those u whitelisted running. Also worth using is Nova launcher, as it persists in ram memory and doesn't crash, is much faster and takes about 20mb ram only.

  • I have this phone and it's great. I have a question. My RAM is always around 5-0 free memory, the phone works normally, if it's good,because everybody is talking about freeing RAM memory? I have only 2 apps instaled from Gplay, others were on the phone.

  • Try ztedevices.com it is also a place for software updates under Support.

  • Just a small update regarding this phones camera, the stock camera app takes very poor pictures but is good for videos. If you want to take clear and bright pics with this phone get apps like CameraNext and in the settings use ISO 100,this way the noise will almost completely disapear and photos will look a lot more natural specially outdoors.

  • I've been using ZTE Blade G pro V829, and there's no V829 in the list, is there any complete specs. of this (V829)and a thorough review?

  • The phone is great, just got it.. If you want a cheap, but good phone you don't need to look anymore.. the only reason why it's cheap compared to other phones is bcs ZTE is not that popular..

  • It's probably problem with WIFI router i had same problem and i called my net operator and when they changed router no problems. :D

  • this phone is great,just wifi does not work.I turn on WiFi, I enter my WiFi password, but can not connect.Just say "insured's password(wpa/wpa2psk)"something like that.Can someone help me?

  • Thank you my friend. I wish you a happy new year!

  • Don't kill the settings applet. To make it stay as requested, restart your phone after sound notifications had been changed. I found it that the built in and Google music players conflicted so I disabled Google player and installed Rocket Player then set it as default, after this my rington so no longer reset. As for the ram memory, for everyday apps it's more than enough, get Android Assistant if you struggle. I have 5 social apps running in the background with no issues. However it can't perform as some top tier models of course, for the price range that ZTE Blade G is sold in its a great phone. The screen is it's strong selling point, folowed by the price,all other such phones have tft in this price range whereas this one has a very good IPS LCD.

  • The specs are pretty impressive for this low end phone. As I read yet, the only problem is the RAM (512MB).

  • Very good phone ,the only problem I can see is the small ram 512mb

  • Hello and merry christmas to everyone! When i set a sound (from my sd card) as a ringtone, it switces back to the default one once i switch it off and on, and it's very annoying. Can anyone tell me what to do so that the sound of my choice remain permanently? Thanx in advance.

  • The spec page is slightly incorrect The screen has 240 ppi. This phone doesn't have a magnetic sensor thus compass apps don't work. The NFC is present only on some models.

  • i want a good phone adn i don't want something too expesive so i thought this one do u think i'm gonna do a good thing?

  • You can't, unless you install a custom launcher that supports it. You can change the lockscreen wallpaper by Menu>Settings>Display>Wallpapers or You can open any picture via the file explorer and tap Set As then select LockScreen Wallpapaer, adjust sizes and tap done. For everyone new to Android I recommend this site

  • how to remove lock screen wallpape?r???

  • It was about time I got a new phone and so I started looking out. I didn't want to blow loads of money on a phone so I tested LG Optimus L7 2, Xperia M, S3 mini, So Duos and Blade G. The winner is ZTE Blade G. Even thought made by relatively unknown maker this phone surprised me specially when compared to models above. Pros: -Good build quality. -Solid performance. -Very bright and responsive screen even on 60% brightness. -Good speaker. -Runs all up to date apps and games such as BBM, Viber, Skype, etc, World of Goo, Crayon Physics, Angry Birds Star Wars, Cut The Rope HD, etc. -Decent battery, can hold a day under heavy use, two if for social apps only. -Doesn't crash applets as of yet. -Can run up to 5-6 active apps and a HD game without issues. -Very easy to setup and use, took me just 20 to learn basics and set everything even advanced settings. Note I was a BlackBerry user before. Cons: -Terrible earbuds, consider buying a pair if you want to listen to music. -Back cover even thought good on touch is very fragile so opening needs to be gentle. -Mediocre camera but decent for portrait photos specially with apps like Cymera. -Ram limited to 385 for user, other reserved. -Screen a bit uncomfortable for one thumb bedtime use. -Hard to find accesories for this phone, replacement parts are cheap to buy however. In short, great phone for that money, surprisingly good compared to way pricier models . The stock product lacks some features so consider getting a good cam app, Nova or Apex launcher as well as a keyboard and task manager. I recommend Cymera, Android Assistant, Winamp, BSPlayer, Opera Mini, MIUI theme and clock. It's a great phone for social networking, music and occational still HD gaming. The phone looks way better in person than on any online screenshots so if you consider it then test it yourself in person.

  • This phone is crap. Don�t buy it, you will regretted. It doesn�t work at all like a normal phone should work. It will spend more time in the service shop than in your hands. I have it and all it does is driving me crazy. I made a mistake and bought it.

  • Having bad experience with cheaper phones in the past I have to say this one surprises me. The build of the phone is good. No creaking or loose fitting parts. For a cheaper phone the quality is fine. I especially like to soft rubbery back. The camera is not so great that is not really something that I use much but it could be improved pictures on cloudy days are far too dark. When I first got the phone it had version 6 of the ZTE android build and the phone would occasionally get hot and or reset. Having performed an easy update to v10 (on the ZTE site) the phone now performs with a slightly better response but best of all the heating issue has gone and the resets have stopped. All apps were easily restored using the backup app that is included with the phone. All very painless. The screen is a very nice size for the price and very responsive to touch I have nothing bad to say here. One interesting part is the speaker. Loud and very good quality which surprised me for a low end phone. The battery life is pretty good. As most smart phones it's not as good as the mobiles of old but I get two full days usage before a charge is required. Obviously this depends on how you use it. Overall this phone is very good value for money with very little wrong. I highly suggest updating the software to version 10 to remove any bugs in V6. If you are on a budget it's well worth looking.

  • Every smartphone's screen goes to black if left untouched after a set time period to save power. To activate it already just press the on/off/activate button (usually at the top of them). You can set the time period to be longer, as well.

  • It is a horrible phone... I have had several of the in my hands, and most of them had been malfunctioning. Screen goes black, and you can't do anything - only thing you can do is cry out of anger. It has good specs, but finishing quality is very bad.

  • I don't see why it had 10.0 on design or that score on features or performance

  • and network 900/2100 for 3g

  • zte blade g v880g have 233ppi

  • is there any way to fix volume issue with this phone? i mean, sound from headphones is very weak....

  • I have bought this phone a couple weeks ago, and all I can say is a great phone! With this caracteristics like: IPS 4.5 display, Dual Core procesor 1.2GHz, Adreno 203 and 512MB RAM is the best offer if you looked price/caracteristics! Very fast, smooth working, you can even played a games like: Dead Trigger, Shadow Gun and much more... Camera is good on a daylight, when comes dark is not a very well. Baterry can hold about 2-3 days, depending on using.
