TCD: got this phone few days ago. phone is great and I'm enjoying it but I think the battery has issues.

it takes forever to charge. there are times the battery will just remain at a point for hours and refuse to move up while charging. I put off the phone, put it on, battery level drops from 80's to like 15% from there it will remain for hours till it decides to start charging again. today battery was at 15% I put it off and left it on charge and slept for 3 hours. on waking up battery was still charging I put it on and the damn thing is still on 15% unplugged the charger and it happily dropped down to 14%.

at certain times while using the battery drops from 100% to 90% in less than 5 minutes, after that rate of discharge stabilizes then at like 30% the battery starts counting down like stopwatch till 14% in a matter of minutes.

All these is highly distressing and can't understand why a new device should act like this. This is almost ruining my first android experience maybe I should have gone for a more established name.

Bros, thanks for your advice, but in my case I followed all the rules for first charging. I'm sure many people here knows about first charging rule. The problem with f7 is that the phone capacity and power consumption (hd screen, 5inch, 3g dual sim, crisp clear display etc) far exceeds the 2100mah battery they bundled with it.

Maybe I was not fortunate enough to get a not-so-good battery. Though it was sealed and untouched when I bought it, with untouched tecno seal.

I even went to their CC to complain, I was told there's nothing they can do as there's no extra f7 battery available.

The reason why I am stating this is warn potential buyers to be very careful when buying this machine, to know exactly what they might experience if not so lucky. It's a very good phone,I must say, except for quick battery drainage issues I have with it.

Thanks.

hustla: Hello folks,


I have not bought the phone yet and I have been following this thread from day one.. However I will like to make some notes which I came across while quitely reading through this thread..

1. Many people are using the Android platform and tecno for the first time and as such do not know their way around..I use a Tecno N3 right now, tethering via hotspot. Using the F7 and knowing battery conservation ways wont be hard to me, they might to someone who just got on the Android and Tecno platforms though

2. Some people are just Tecno haters, they do not and have never owned any of the phones and yet point out the errors they have seen online or heard somewhere. Truth is no phone or device is error free, heck! That is why there are even upgrades for Operating Systems on PC and even mobile phone, to fix bugs and problems that may have skipped developer and company attention.
Some people are Samsung/HTC Supporters and of course they will never have anything good to say about a phone that has similar specs with theirs, maybe feeling stupid for shelling out so much on a phone when another that costs less than half has similar functions..

3. Some havent followed the battery tips posted on here, maybe they do not know how to go about it or they simply expect Tecno to produce a battery that can last for a year with a day's charge, I really do not know for them ooo.. I have handled the Samsung Galaxy S, S2 and S3 numerous times and the battery drains like water when it is on HSDPA while running apps in the background (Tethering, Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, Videos, Games)..
The simple solutions was to kill background apps(seems someone recommended Greenify, BatterySaver and the likes, dem boku for googlePlay), reduce the brightness and turn off the HSDPA to GSM/EDGE under settings...


4. Last but not the least endeavor to switch off your phones while charging or at least put off data completely ( if you must browse, let it be on Edge) so as to speed up charge up time. One major reason while batteries spoil fast has to do with multi-tasking the battery ( charging and using at the same time). This charges and discharges the battery thus making it bad over slight use.





Hope I have helped in one way or the other...

Me too I wonder. Samsung will never make that stu. pid mistake of bundling their phone with poor battery like tecno did. They have a high standard.

directonpc:
Lol. N3? Mehn u d even upgrade me am using nokia 2626. You wer get money why u no buy s4?

Proffdada:
Really I'm not talking about drainage but the battery behavior . It sometimes jump to 88% then falls back to 12% on rebooting, a typical case of bad ba3

directonpc: i think its time to slow down with this tecno madness. This people the cheat Una. Untill tecno release update for n3 nobody should buy their over priced f7. And seriously F7 is over priced like it or Not.

directonpc: lumia 520 is 27k is nokia not paying em workers? And whats HD in 177ppi? Then u go call 233ppi super xtra HHDD

freshp:
i did subscribe to the package,but to my dismay when i checked for my data bundle balance it simply said i have 2gig of data,i was expecting to be told otherwise..did i do anything wrong...now it exhausted...so i dont think it is unlimited.

paeffiong: I wis to also state dat am havin alot of issues wid my ba3. My ba3 dosnt last mor dan a day and likewise my powerbank.

bukky1:
Dats usually d case with fast browsing phones. Jst mk sure d battery dies completly n d phone shots down n refuses to booth. Charge d phone till its full n leave it charging for xtra 30mins (mk sure u dnt ON d phone during charging) this is d general way to mk batteries last
long. Hope it works 4 u.

Jeffy1206: tanx for de observation ave sent 1gig to u...de no again is 08033522700

Elxandre:

I dont have a problem with any phone model. What annoys me is the ridiculous comparison against heavyweights AND the constant flooding of other phone threads by tecno fans..its really not cool..

It's 34k in Slot, Ewet Housing Estate, Uyo.

sfi_ea: It's obvious you're so desperate to earn chicken change. I also noticed you're desperately looking for money to buy one , no problems I can dash you my self rooted N7 or hacked N8. You can also wait in line, when a better phone comes out I will give my *pads*
