I've already ordered for this phone but I'll still be needing more info. I've never used a device like this before, is it compulsory that I root it? Are both Sims 3G enabled? I normally switch my browsing between sim 1 and 2 but certain devices does not enable WCDMA on sim 2, hope Gionee is not of them o.

U don't need to root. Both Sims are 3G enabled.

Eco mode is just like greenify app. Click on it and activate whitelist. Then add the apps you always use in whitelist so that when you are using normal mode in power option, the apps won't close. Note that other apps not added to whitelist will close on background. It's also used to save battery by reducing the numbers of running apps.

how many times does it charge d p5w,and many hrs does d powerbank itself charge when it's exhausted.Some 13000 mah pb can only charge a 2000 mah battery thrice, i dont want that type.a good powerbank shud be able to charge this fone 4 times.

Well, I can't say how many times it charges the P5W but I've used the pb to charge my p5w for 4 days before it gets low. And during period, there was no stable electricity.

When it eventually got low, I used a 2A playbook charger to charge the pb from 0-100% for 8hours.

It charges my phone more than 4 times though

u don't hv to root it.The phone has fonts and a good battery saver,wetin again?@olatunjijnr and shedo4sure,pls what is the use if that eco mode, is it to save data or battery?

Music to my ears. I should have ordered for this instead of waiting on the M5mini. I'll be posting my own personal review about a week after using it.

YOU Can't open the box before choosing a colour. The colour that comes with each box is written. So, u choose

When you phone falls on a very hard surface, the Tempered glass takes the screen damages. Instead of affecting the main screen or touch, the Tempered glass is affected rather.

i ordered for black,i got blue and gold as extra cases.

Guys help out o, the p5w I ordered just arrived. The base buttons (as in where u have home, return and minimize) does not light up, as in no backlight in them. Is this normal?

queenfav:
The good and bad..So far,i hv noticed slight hassles.First of all i had to uninstall touch pal because of the annoying voice prompt of the lady as you type.The google keyboard is better.Also bbm keeps closing in d background whc can make ping notifications delay or not show up,but whatsapp runs perfectly.Once the bbm connected sign is on d notification center,u can get notifications.I feel the phone closes it to conserve battery and ram.Also, while downloading with uc browser and u minimize it,it closes. That automatically pauses the download. The way around that is to keep d ucbrowser app open till the download is over.Asides these issues whc i can live with,i still see it as perfect for me.Gionee did a good job here.The note,calendar app,music,system manager (whc houses a battery saver,data manager,ram cleaner,application manager and others are all very efficient.That disposes of the need to download battery doctor and clean master. The call and message app has d ability to block calls and messages from persons you want to blacklist.The music player is awesome,has a nice ui.It sounds great and has very good speaker output.The gionee earpiece isnt so good,maybe because i am an audiophile.Its decent for an average music lover,but i prefer in ear headsets,u know the good stuff like havit,beats and skull candy. The bass wasn't as good as it could have been considering the DTS audio the phone has.I used my Samsung in ear galaxy s4 earpiece and it was very nice.The Music output became much more clearer,with good bass.The camera is ok,but not so spectacular.You get the best result when you take the pics outdoor,or with flash in a dim environment..The phone launcher is perfect,if you know how to customize it.Overall,the phone is a good buy and i would buy it all over again without hesitation.

Modified:i updated my my bbm app to the current version,it solved d notification issues.I can now receive pings even when the bbm app isnt running in d notification center.I was using a version released early last year,that's y i had those issues.@olayinkajnr and shedo4sure, i am currently using the power saving mode.It conserves battery better than the normal mode.

Dearie, I need details of how to customize this launcher don't stuff, my display is still very untidy to me.

my schedule is very unpredictable thats y i paid online so our secretary could have taken delivery of it for me, even though i wasnt around.d 25k isnt a bad deal to emure cos d fone is now 23-24 k in town.Contact augster,maybe he can help u gt a discount of shipping fees.
