He's not the only one complaining about heating....mine gets hot too when in use. It also hangs!lags once a while!
A lot of complaints on this phone....u guys just over-hyping
Lol. Sorry you ain't enjoying yours yet. Show us your build version and is your phone memory full, do you charge with that small one man carrier gen, do you normally clear your phone cache, is your battery draining fast? This things usually make your phones to over heat.

cheesy Join fast!

Yeah I noticed it yesterday. #15 went out cuz of a msg I know nothing about.

Lemme check the messaging script in this firmware..I never observed such on the follow come rom
How are you checking it cos I need to check mine too. I changed my default message app to true messaging yesterday so I'm still observing it. I just don't know where I got the virus from cos others here are using the Indian ROM and they're not complaining about it. Even after installing the latest firmware of the INDIAN ROM, it was still happening. I had to reduced my installing of apps from outside source. grin

That's the screenshot of my "about phone"!

What do u hv to say?
I can see that you're using old build. If you can do the update, I will advice you to do that and start all over. Just move only your media files from the old device to the new one. You'll have to make a backup of course.
Check my screen shot.. The first one was my old updated firmware and the second one is the latest one that I'm using which is Version 6184. Yours is still V5588 which is even lower than my last update.

I will have to say;
I've been using my phone for 2hrs+ now with screen sleep time on" unlimited", Blasted Modern Combat 5 on 3G, played 2048, and currently downloading Real Racing 3(1.7GB+) and my phone is JUST warm.

I also have to say, do yourself a favor and flash in the latest firmware.

Modified:....and 9mins later, 1% dropped!! Awesome device!!
Exactly what I told him to do. Phones are being updated for a reason and its to fix bugs from previous version.

bros this is my phone details. please can an update do the magic?
Your version is 5338. Yours is even lower than the other guy that was complaining. You need the update too.. Back up your apps and media files. I normal use ES file explorer to back up my apk files so I won't have to download dem all over from playstore.
Re: Gionee M5 Discussion Thread[HOT] by Joered63: 4:45pm On Jan 01, 2016
All this talk of tweak this tweak that, flash this firmware or that buildprop. So does it mean that if i just buy this phone i cant enjoy it just like that? Becos not all of us are technicians and i cant risk bricking the phone because this money is hard earned. You pple should just be honest before i buy it on monday, or if there is any one in abuja that can assist me in all these flashing stuff.

Get the app on Playstore

Wait oh. Are you also going through the same problem with me? That's the sms charges without you sending any sms. And I have 360 self. I don try all antivirus. None dey see am. 360, kaspersky, lookout, bit defender, CM Security, name it. I'm thinking the virus is stored to the default messaging app so anti virus might have a trust for all those apps and not check den during the scan. Lol

You will enjoy your phone battery well.. My bro has been enjoying his own without any updates. The people talking about updates are those that wants to customize their phones and be able to move apps to SD card

Meanwhile, apart from d lagging/hanging, it gets so hot when in use. I really need help, so I can enjoy this phone...its barely a month old
pls avoid charging with small(i better pass my neighboor) or unstable current generator.... The effect can be that also avoid the use of cat charger.

I don't charge with small Gen(I better pass my neighbour)! I don't even have it. I have a big Gen! Meanwhile, power has been a bit stable this festive season, so I use PHCN.

I'm having the feeling that they sold a refurbished one to me. I bought it from FINET(Ikeja), not slot.

Can they change it for me, since its not up to a month I bought it?

i advice u report to ur point of purchase and complain since its under warranty period.... But make sure u dont temper with the phone. If they refused to attend to u, try and locate consumer protection council office in vi lagos and lodge ur complaint. Or call me 08136656566 i work for cpc but am in minna office. Be sure that the phone has warranty.
