Ollymich1: pls i nid help cos i bought my own it couldnt play realfootball n i quickly sold it. Pls is it d same wit urs?

The problem with GiONEE is most of the buyers will buy the phone expecting to find fault, small thing they couldn't do, they will say I know it will be like this; they will immediately conclude this is faulty without trying hard, if when it is T only, they will surely find solution because no alternative...
** most of the complaints here is based on quick conclusion. Why do you buy product expecting to find problem? ***

Emmikem:

Nah.. Not upgrade

ok, thanks.

bigiyaro: why don't you give us a complete guide on how to do it and then give us screen shot.

for camera: open the camera, go to the settings, tap three dot then change the picture size from 5M pixel to even lowest size QVGA depend on what you need. For contact: save the contact in phone memory and there you find options to add picture. Hope it helped?

Seapluz: ok we have always wanted a blackberry data plan etisalat have done it. On your etisalat sim text *222*2*1# to get 100mb for one month if u want 500mb just replace the 1 with 2 and for 3gig put 3. 100mb cost N1000 500mb not so sure but just try 100mb i'm using it right now on my phone and to check your balance *228#. Remember your phone has to be gprs enabled holla back.

this post you just copied and paste is 2010 data plan somebody post NL, oga is now 260MB with 1k, who care when Airtel give 240MB for N200.....
.... Hahaha, There is no any kind of post that will not happen in this thread.!

bigiyaro: the phone lags straight out of the box, it comes with a custom ROM,(this is very limiting as many developer options are removed,i suggest u go for a phone with stock ROM, u can tweak it to your taste) it also has camera issues i.e a single camera shot gives u an image of 2-3 + mb.u can't use ur pics for caller id in ur contacts. it sometimes blows ur wallpaper pic out of proportion.
so far these are the things i've discovered abt the p2.

Oga, you can use picture on your contact, it is just you couldn't figure it out, regarding image size, any pictures with that resolution will be large, change the resolution. Simple.

Emmikem:

#lolz...Am collecting my phone 2mao , the cc guy said he upgrade it if its true then we gonna rock 4.3

Verify if we can flash the 4.3 on our phones if they indeed upgrade your own.

Seyilome: But why do people lie that this phone?. Am using gp2 and am very happy with it, I multitask wella play games smoothly, don't listen to Techno boys, that was how they bad mouth infinity phones . I was once a techno fan but now, am a fan of any good phones

I don't think there is need to justify this phone anymore, a lot of compare has been done, if any want let him go back to previous pages, if we keep replying there post it will surely derail the purpose of this forum and mind you this is their aim so the best thing now is to ignore any such post totally ^_^

I like the maturity gionee owners are displaying now, If you go p5 thread you hardly see where they replied any but for tboys, they all over this place displaying what I don't know, guys silence is best answer.

I don't believe you and any right thinking person will not, you go all over Nairaland claiming I am this, I am that. If you are what you claim to be, I don't see reasons to start posting photos of s4 to backup you claim in this faceless forum. What does that mean? He said tboy, did he call your name, it means you are tboy simple.

bigiyaro: dis p2 has many annoying issues with its follow come ROM. Do any gfan knows if one can flash it with the original stock jb 4.2.2.

Please try Nova launcher, disable
all those application that are not all that
useful that came with like antivirus, go
Launcher etc, pls I would like to know the
result? Regarding using pcs with caller ID, have you figured it out because it is there.

The display the guy mentioned is the way icon is rounded by gionee custom UI called amigo UI, this display can be easily change by Go launcher or Nova launcher any other like Next launcher 3D, besides is his personal opinion regarding the look ( go back to his post and read it again, he said "default launcher" but my brother p5 is very good also they almost the same so I advice you to compare both side by side in the market and make your choice. Click this link, this guy bought the two and compared it side by side https://www.nairaland.com/1446319/tecno-p5-discussion-thread/23

Something appalling in this Nairaland is, you will see somebody quoting you immediately without getting his facts right. I believe this is intellectual forum with some victims of ASUU strike, graduate etc. Let's try to get our fact right before you quote someone wrong, I believe here is place to help each other and get our neighbours informed not place of rivalry or doing unpaid job of promoting products over another in expense of your neighbours being a victim.

@ marcjoe, Check the frequency on the carton and compare the display side by side and come and correct your post! What I hate in this Nairaland is misinforming ppl in the name of what I can't explain.

marcjoe:

Bro don't b decieved both TP5 AND GP2 have d same hardware....they both use dat cheap mediatek 1.3ghz processor so any game and app tp5 plays gp2 play d same game too....

Enough of all dis comparision tp5 and gp2 are on d same level ....na only software i.e rom difference...

Oga, I will respond to you because I respect you a lot. Apart from having the same MT 6572 there are notable different in quality,; display, bluethoot 4.0, compass etc and most especially having GSM qaud band and 3g frequency of 900/2100 MHz, I personally need these frequency because I want use it outside Nigeria. That doesn't mean p5 is not good, the phone is fantastic all round but it boiled down to individual needs! Hope I made myself clear @ marcjoe.

iheanyi40: lol 4ni

y not goan get d p5 instead since u so much luv 3g on both sims

If not that I have not seen your post much I would have remained silence. I will not give you my personal reasons because T-boys will be all over the thread and enough is enough..
......
I will only show you some obvious reasons that even tech illiterate will be able to distinguish. Check out page 23 of P5 thread and you will understand that p5 only boast of 3g both sim and stock OS besides custom Roms is what makes android special, you will be waiting for Ts5 with 4.4 kitkat next year while I will be flashing my Gp2 with it because it has quality hardware to compete with next year line up!

Mafia4life: Phone doesn't affect data speed. They are all the same. Since we are in Nigeria with poor network, a phone having its downlink as 22.6Mb/sec will download at the same speed with another phone having 14.4Mb/sec downlink. The reason is due to our ISP. Cowboy made mistake saying that. He must have forgotten that network may favour you today and screw you up the next day

That is ridiculous from you, I will advice you to do more research, you can't compare the efficiency of class 8, 10 to class 12 chip. These chips use different numbers of slot to manipulate different connection to data Networks and the higher the slot the more efficient for instance when class with 2 slot are struggling, the one with 4 slot will use the other two to establish link else where ( eg. Having 4 lines from PHCN pole, you can easily change line if the power is low in one line but person with 2 line will be stock with low current) this is different from total speed but it is the ability to manipulate available speed. You can do better than this please!

@directonpc, Godvilla, Emikem etc, can you ppl try flash Tp5 Rom in this phone since it has almost the same specifications. The last time I check p5, they wrote 3g on one sim which means is software that made it 3g on both sim.

wizzyblast:

That also depends on your service provider..
It's not ridiculously good

Sir Cowboy43 did review both phones side by side using the same network even oga tonado attest it b4 the review. Reasons p2 is using class 12 chip for Internet.
......
Anybody who want unbiased reviews, who bought the two phone, reviewed side by side check out p5 thread page 23 down!

Mafia4life: I can speak boldly about P5. Here is my unbiased review cos that's what I use now.
Tecno's tradition is to use 256k colour for its devices which made Gionee P2 suppress TP5 in display. I see reasons why they say Tecno is a cheat ( though that doesn't affect me) because there are good numbers of Chinese Android phone with nice spec eg THL W100 ( Quadcore @ 1.2 Ghz with 1GB ram) below N16000 supported in XDA-forum. Well to me, they tried for us joor. Back to business....
The camera is usually poor for major Tecno device and P5 inclusive. Internal memory is enough for use. The phone brings you real feel of Jellybeans 4.2.2 and it is very smooth ( no lags before and after installations). Sound very ok compared to Gp2. The physical appearance is the same with GP2. Fifa doesn't lag like that I rate the game play for fifa 14 as same with GP2 ( 90% lag free) .
To me this phone is a better choice than Gionee P2. Both battery rating is same. Both sim has 3G. More android feeling comes in this device than P2. Tecno P5 = 80% Gionee P2 = 70%. The major flop in Gionee is the custom rom that excluded many "developer option" and its GUI frameskip per sec. The major flop in Tecno P5 is the Display ( Very Ok but when compared to GP2, it's a no no) and it's camera. If I am wrong somewhere please point them out

Thanks but I want ask, how about data speed that is ridiculously good compare to p5 according Cowboy43?
