ZTE Nova 3.5 - User Reviews

  • ics rom

  • ROM needed! Hi, i have bricked the original ROM on my V6500. Does anybody have backup? (Please not the Etisalat version). Thanks

  • English uk

  • Not a good phone to buy, it's ROM is very low! and hung up all the time.

  • can someone plz back up its rom and upload it ,my phone got bricked

  • worst shit ever. they must name it dumb phone, not smart at all very very very bad i hate it. don't buy it it's the ugliest desplay ever very low internal memory and slow processor, it doesn't even can launch viber properly

  • r u serious cuz it's 650 L.E Right now

  • hi it's me answering my self :D , i was talking about people trying to upgrade their "etisalat smartphone" to an icecream sandwich rom, then i have contacted ZTE and they told me they don't have an ICS rom, but i'm not sure if u flashed the orginal nova 3.5 rom to etisalat smartphone would work or not.

  • everyone, i have contacted ZTE company by e-mail and asked them for an ice cream sandwich rom for this mobile and they replied that they don't have it and the information provided about this mobile is incorrect in most websites. so quit trying to search for the ice cream sandwich rom, and by the way the ice cream sandwich will be a little slow for this processor. also the gingerbread is still a perfect rom for anymobile in my opinion.

  • my bro get it from dream 2000 shop in Gesr Al Suez also it's available at Ain shams branch in Moustafa Hafez and it's price 450 L.e , some shops sale it for 470 L.E too

  • From where did you get it from eypt with 500 L.E?

  • How can i ROOT it ... help please

  • i bought this phone yesterday and it is really amazing , i cant find any problem with it expect the low internal memory :(

  • if that for the smart phone ... you can logged in for www.ebay.com and try to search about it and shipping by your local shipping companies

  • root please !!!

  • hay any one help me i in need for a room 4.0 ics plzz any one know where i can get it send to me on [email protected]

  • the telephon is good related to its price but it have some problems as the internal memory very low and you cant move the applications to memory card and while calling it be hot and sometimes the telphone shutting down suddinly by itself and by the way indoride here 2.3 not 4 as gsmarena refers and you can buy it from egypt by 500 L.E not 700 as in etisalat

  • unable to connect to backup

  • this phone runs on gingerbread not ics

  • For those who want to root this phone:

  • we need rooting for this device ... the software is horrible .. may be if we can root ... we can install a new rom

  • i have this phone and am using vodafone 3g normaly

  • this phone's internet won't work under Vodafone Egypt due to vodafone limits on chineese phones.the small internal memory is the biggest bug. the debugging mode method failed to move apps,as the device couldnt be listed through this method.also i tried many ways to root it but failed also .. ;-( disappointing

  • DON'T BUY the worst display ever, very bad screen under saturated colors the screen getting dark if tilted vertically, i hate it, i regret buying this phone

  • By the way, the phone is not locked at all. You will have to enter the APN settings for vodafone your self as follow Menu>Browser>Profile Settings>Select any Profile Profile Name: Vodafone Internet Home URL: blank Bearer: GPRS Proxy: Enable GPRS Settings Proxy IP : 163.121.178.2 Proxy Port: 8080 APN : internet.vodafone.net Login ID: internet Password : internet Current Profile: Vodafone Internet MMS Settings Menu>Messages>>settings>Multimedia messages>MMS profiles>Current Profile> Select any profile Profile name : Vodafone mms Server URL: Proxy: Enable GPRS Settings Proxy IP : 163.121.178.002 Proxy Port: 8080 Login ID: mms Password: mms APN : mms.vodafone.com.eg Current Profile: Select Vodafone MMS

  • you may be try the method in this link:

  • For now no root has been done for the phone....... I hope any one do a root for the phone tell us here

  • Can any one do rooting For this mobile ? the phone is good but the internal memory for etisalat version is low so we need rooting to manage application in internal memory that you can not move to SD Card normally . any one can help

  • do i buy it for its very low price or it doesnot deserve

  • I think this phone is super considering the price, it is also free if you count the data package!!!

  • you can download the games from any site, send them to the memory card, and from settings - application check unknown sources. enjoy don't forget to send the apps to the SD memory because of the low internal memory for better performance

  • Download from android market you can find more games and apps etc!!!i have downloaded many games works great in this device..

  • please how can i get games for this mobile ?

  • please how can i get games for this mobile ?

  • I have just got one and the phone is good and you will not expect it does what it does for the price but when I first time locked the screen I found a surprise that the phone was turned off and when I try to unlock it, it does not and you need to restart the phone. I think this is a software bug or something I do not know I did reset to factory settings and I still have the same issue. I will return the phone tomorrow.

  • Hello ahmed .. i also bought the phone from etisalat .. but my sim-card is vodafone .. its unlocked in calls but in mobile internet its locked .. i think it is a kind of cooked software .. so can u tell me please what to do ?? i`ve been trying for 3 days to download Android 4.0 ice cream sandwitch but i couldnt find anything ,, i thought that this might help ... thank you

  • If you're using the Etisalat version, there will be an upgrade after about a month i think. Wifi and browser are working just fine. Battery is also good, as i said before, you can browse continuously for about 5 hours which is not that bad.

  • Yeah sorry i forgot to mention that, Well battery is okay , not that bad, you can continuously browse the internet for about 5 hours or so. And yes, the phone gets really hot after a short time of using it, i simply shut it for about 3 minutes and it goes back to normal. Just don't charge it and use it while charging it because it will get REALLY hot then!

  • Thank you Mr. Ahmed the WiFi is very good and browsing speed is good, but sometimes it overheat from the earphone in calls

  • I would like to know if I can upgrade the software to 4.0 ice sand. or not also I want to know if some one tested the wifi and browsing speed and the battrey.

  • thanks for the review Ahmed... but what about the battery life and the overheating problem that everybody is talking about...is it ok??

  • Well i've been using for about 3 days ( The Etisalat version ) , i've faced some problems but i managed to get through them by the factory reset option, now the phone works greatly without lagging ( except when getting out from an application, it takes a part of a second to show the home page due to the low processor and ram ) -Well the phone is a great phone for the price, some apps works fine, but games works terribly due to the lack of GPU. Actually some games such as angry birds doesn't work at all. -Camera is pure crap, the quality is really horrible and does not do the job. -Texting is pretty good actually, the screen is big enough and the pixel density is good enough. Sound quality is not good and not bad, its somewhere in the middle. -Speakers aren't loud and if you're on the street you can barely hear the phone if someone calls you. The touch screen is really sensitive and there was no problem with it at all. -Internet browsing is great and i've faced no problems. -Voice command is not bad, but sometimes it doesn't understand what you say at all except when you're using it in the texting. PS: There's something that is really bothering me and i think there is no solution for it. That the internal is only about 150MB. So when you download an app, even if its on the SD Card, there is still some data on the phone and it will keep reminding you that there is no space on the phone even if there is! And if you don't like the User Interface you can't easily download Go Luncher EX and the phone will totally change everything. Hope this helped!
