my

tomii: @digatron ar u using the 8gb mmc or a larger one?

Am using 32gig

Good morning nairalanders,
this info is for those complaining of battery life of F7, listen and do same for ur devices.
I did my Battery Opitimization yesterday: Firstly,I drained my battery to 15% by playing need for speed MW and at same time running on 3g.
On reaching 15%, i plugged it to charge on nepa without using it and also turning off data connection. After about 2hrs, it reached 45%, later on wen i got home i put it to charge using gen(big one) after 1hr it became 68% and after which i switched off the gen. b4 sleeping i plugged it to the power bank and i slept(10;30pm).
this morning i turned it on, it was 89%(6:30am), with watsapp,browsing, camera(taking shots),edge network on,and since then till now am typing(10:45am) it is at 79%.
is working well, try it and discover the truth. am not a marketer,
below are some screen shots of my phone's customization(vistadroid), NFS MW and a picture i took using the F7
NB:i had to compress them b4 uploading incase the quality is affected.

Faru: E be like say Na only me and you dey use this phone o! Anyway, have u gone to tecno to complain? I would have done same but am in Benin. Let us get an official statement from them. I had 100% ba3 in the morning went to work with my power bank still came back from work with my phone dead. Now am forced to by a car charger. Guy I can feel your pain cos am also in the same mess. I have suspended my anger until I visit tecno by month end and I pray they have answers otherwise kata kata go burst!

haha .....Am using same F7 wit u But I haven't experienced this situation of urs. take heart. mine lasts a day upon heavy usage, use greenify app to see if ur situation can improve [quote author=Far

a phone of 25k. Save 10k plus get OTA upgrades

remove this rubbish @directonpc. that benchmark is contradicting itself......13041 and 4006 scores
F7 is powering more haters beware

Peroluv: pls don't buy f7 until dey fix d display drivers on fifa, on d hotness. on d poor b3. am a strong tecno fan. just telling u d truth

hello nairalanders, am so suprised at the way some people are condemning this phone. i bought mine since june 6 and since then till now i've not had an issue with it. my battery is ok, it doesn't heat up, it runs without lag when am playing NFS MW, PES 2012, ASphalt 6&7, etc. above all it is on 3g netwk. also use greenify software to hidernate some background apps
my advice for you that review phones that they don't have is to shut up till u get one. am not a marketer but i work at G-Smart connect communications illorin. if you are in kwara state you can can and see for ur self. TECNO has opened our eyes, believe it or not

phoenixb2r: tecno suppose give u award

pals, it's obvious tecno android phones are powerful. if Samsung is not afraid of Techno, y are they going into low budget /high end phones. can u believe that my f7 battery surprise me today. I used my phone on 3g from 8am to 3pm browsing, watssapp, .and other tins yet the battery decreased from 99% to 86%

holla I did as u said but no success. wen I boot into hboot, it comes on normally without noticing anything on memory card. d m card is fat32 formated

yea, it is still working. mail me ur watsapp no, lawgas4rill@gmail

@hollasyld: my htc desire s got bricked as i tried unlocking the bootloader. at first wen i type through cmd so as to access/open the bootloader, it shows me bootloader eror. at a point i was angry and i mistakenly wiped the system partition under recovery/advanced in the recovery. since i've been trying to flash the recovery. meanwhile i used revolutionry to gain S-OFF after which my Hboot version changed to 6.98.1002
