If you are using jelly bean no app is required to capture screen, just press and hold the power button + lower volume button at the same time. Make sure you press and hold both at the same time. Then check your picture gallery for the screen shot.
they surely stole that from iPhone. I use one so I know that's what we do to capture iPhone screen. grin

It's always like that. Everybody steals from everybody. Even the latest ios 7 steals a lot from android and windows phone. They are all guilty.

In the end, though, we users (whether ios, android or Windows) benefit.

Thats it! No more contemplating, I'm getting my f7 by the end of the month! AVG?

please nairalanders hsa anyone tested the wifi hotspot on f7 to know if l can use it to watch youtube on tv?
Colin Adua: Good day, all!
By looking at the pics of this A1(f7), nna this phablet is sweet, compact, with sexy shape, with HD, Jelly Bean. It needs to be gotten. Even though I just got n7 barely a month now.

But, the phone has ppi of 294, not up to 300. Anyone saying its up to 300 is being economical with the truth.

5.0" with 720x1280 has a ppi of 294. Just do a thorogh cross checking. Galaxy note 2 with 5.5" , 720x1280 has a ppi of 264. S3 with 4.8" , 720x1280 has a ppi of 306.

I calculated the ppi myself just like I did for n7 and got 187ppi.

Though its very much HD, for that the picture quality will be great.

Re: Tecno F7 (Phantom A1) Discussion Thread by milee: 10:38pm On Jun 17, 2013
please does you gadget include smart tv,this is important to me.
HOLLASLYD: if you complain of battery,
here is how to get it to last like mine
set brightness to zero. the screen is still very much visible under heavy sunlight. so set to zero.
enable E when you are on the go
enable 3G only when you wanna download
after fully charged, leave for extra 1hr
turn off wifi
turn off gps
turn off bluetooth
for crying out loud you dont use them every minute.
prioritize them


i dont want insults here cus some people here get so sceptical about these testimonies
i run my f7 from 9am to 7pm on 3g, normal use, normal chatting, check on web pages once in a while
i run my f7 for 7 hrs on 3g fully on chatting and web surfing straight up, downloads about 20mb
i run my f7 for 4 hrs on heavy downloads standby till the battery drains. both in phone and wifi tethering at the same time
i have never used edge on this phone since i bought it cus its always on tethering to my gadgets

conclusively, i grade the f7's battery to be 50/100 = managable and never gets hot rather warm as it should. i repeat!!! never HOT!!!

i leave this device plugged in from 10pm to 7am everyday and i use my samsung charger always. never used the tecno charger that came with the device. i cant tell if thats the case.
this is my testimony grin grin

Drain your battery to about 10 to 15 %. Switch it off and fully charge it to 100 % and still leave it to charge more. You can leave it overnight. That would solve your problem.

Your phone needs to be conditioned to perform at it's peak.


But after this, always unplug it when you reach 100 % charge. So as not to damage your battery.

HOLLASLYD: stay tunned custom rom users
Phantom wiz coming soon

Though you don't owe us anything, but I will still humbly request anyway.
Can you please work on MIUI rom for f7. Personally, I believe that's the best custom rom. Consumes less power and highly customisable.

Thanks a lot.

Smart tv is a television set NOT a phone. We are talking about phones here.

If you are asking if this phone can stream videos and tv programmes. Yes. All android phones can. Just get the appropriate app and enjoy your videos.
