Otantu: y do want to sell it and hw much?

He's got an F7. He bought, so he wants to sell his N7 and pocket the money. The phone is a month old, no fault whatsoever.

Now I got ur complaint......
Dis is a software issue which OTA update shuld fix without a glitch BUT UNfotunately, Tecno does not support OTA update. Well, @leats, for now as they are trying to establish demselves

behonest with urself did u charge the phone wen u bought it the frist tym nd do u wan 2 say u did nt on d phone wen u got it

When I buy phones I always ensure I charge before use to optimise ba3 and this F7 wasn't an exception. Am not the game type I dont even have a single game installed on my device. Besides calls, I do a few browsing and that is all. What I find rather preposterous is claim by tecno on the ba3 life when in reality this is so untrue. Surfice to say that they lied. If u don't mind the ba3, it is a great phone. However, it is very worrisome for me as I never bargain to continuously charge a phone when I was investing my 34k hard earned cash.

Re: Tecno F7 (Phantom A1) Discussion Thread by lordZOUGA(m): 10:02am On Jun 19, 2013
I used the n7. at first the battery was worrisome but with more usage, the battery straightened out and lasted longer and charged faster.
I hope that is the case of f7

It could be one off case. Every technology has its own problems sometimes. Not to speak for Tecno, I don't have any now, their customer service is very responsive and they will manage the situation for you if it is found wanting. Don't be fed up. I have xperienced such with even Nolkia, Samsung and some other Chink Phones. The worsy of this is with the so-called Kenzinda.

Allow the battery to drain completely then charge the phone for four hours before switching on. Repeat the above sequence again for up to five times. Ur ba3 shld last well from now. I av been a Tecno user since 2007. I currently use an N3, my wife uses a Q1. I still av my T3, T9, T707 and T571. Will buy this F7 by month end!!!

Go to Tecno carl care and get another F7's battery, and try it, if the same thing happens, take the phone back to Carl care for thorough chek up. Since its still within warranty.

Some of the batteries they came with malfunctions due to long storage period. If you buy a new battery, you might be surprise with their powerful performance.

A lot of people experience such with N7 but they went for a new battery and were happy.

So try it. It may help.

Peace to all!!

allow ur ba3 to rundown completely then charge it till its full. repeat process 3 times n enjoy ur battery life. its a general way of optimizing batteries n even sm tecno manual recomend this

Re: Tecno F7 (Phantom A1) Discussion Thread by Faru: 1:38pm On Jun 19, 2013
Thanks peeps for your concern. I feel very sad that a phone ds good why should they give it such a messed up ba3. Outside of the ba3 the phone is well above average. I sincerely hope tecno can do something about it.

My guess is- you spoilt the ba3 on first charge. Normal, u charge n discharge (not totally) a ba3 for 3 cycles b4 heavy usage. These cycles shld be done wif power frm the national grid.
