It switches it off completely. The only thing is that it automatic ally switch on ur data but to the 1st sim...
Since that's the sim it recognises

It makes sense. Thanks!

Reediano:

It's the cause... I think under the power saving option. U enabled something like switching off data on screen timeout

But it does not switch off my data completely. It switches it from SIM 2 to SIM 1.

Reediano:

Bro I guess you are using a battery saver..

's

Yes I use Battery Doctor. Do you really think this could be the cause? If so how can I configure it to stop switching my data SIM?

Has someone noticed this problem with this phone? If one sets SIM 2 as the data SIM it keeps setting itself back to SIM one, even though the 3g setting still remains in SIM two. What could be causing this?

My phone data connection switches on on its own sometimes, mostly SIM one. Anyone here experiencing same? Any solution?

The one I've experienced is that sometimes when I fix the Data SIM as SIM 2 it changes it to SIM 1 by itself, but the 3G service remains in SIM 2. I wonder what could be causing this.

Pls can someone help me track my Hot order. I ordered it on 25th December:


Tracking Number: 2187220523

Ur mail sir

dearumar@hotmail.com Pls help me send 4 BB IMEI. Much obliged.

Pls how can I change the APN to blackberry. net?

Does anyone have a link to where I could download a comprehensive User Guide for the phone? The Quick Start Guide they bundled with the phone is too concise and the Manual for the Hot is not among the ones available for download at their site:

Sir 2tins it's either ur imei no has been generated by another person thereby now entitled to your 500mb or the fault is from etisalat.... Either way u can keep calling d customer care for rectification or u leave the 500mb n enjoy ur fone *my opinion*

From all indications the fault is from Etisalat. I arrived at this conclusion because after dialing *#06 the IMEI that appeared was the same with the one at the back of the box. Now, IMEI is supposed to be 15 digits but when I text DATA to 8186 the error message which Etisalat returns includes a totally different 14 digit IMEI which they claim is mine hence it"s invalid e.g "The device imei 2536xxxxxx3928 is invalid."

On the other two Infinix Hot I bought, it returns the IMEI which is on their box less the last digit hence they still return a 14 digit IMEI.

It's as if they've configured their system to skip the last digit of the IMEI even when the first 14 digits are correct.

That's it! We are throwing away their yeye SIM and rocking GLO BIS.

Jephz:
I changed my Imel to the one in the back of the carton yesterday.. and I sent DATA to 8181.. this is the result.. b4 I changed d Imel....the result was invalid imel

You text to 8181? But on the box of the Infinix Hot the sticker says text DATA to 8186.

Mizzzbeee:
get d infinix hot for her cuz I dnt tink u want to handle d stress of broken screen etc.. .... If she isn't d extra careful type dnt get d zero for her

I thought the Zero's Gorilla Screen is stronger than that of Infinix Hot?

Why all the excitement about BB IMEIs? Could one use it to activate BIS on Android? Pls fill me in on this as a complete novice in that area.

AmazingZeus:
those accusing mtn and etisalat for not giving them free mb as promised,do you know many infinix hot,infinix zero,tecno h6,tecno phantom z,Nokia x and xl imei I generated plus other guys that did the same stuff,you know whether your own imei follow

Thousands of Infinix Hot were sold. Among these lot how many are enjoying the free data? Are you telling us thousands of these codes were generated by people like you? Haba, u be Etisalat staff ne?

agabaI23:
Sorry please, what number did you call to reach etisalat customer service? Is it 200? what number did you select?

I didn't call. I sent an Email to their customer care service care@etisalat.com

Mizzzbeee:
Sir send MID to 8186 or dial *917*2#

I did and got the reply:
"Dear Customer, your device is not eligible for this offer".

Mizzzbeee:
Sir can u check d back of your fone pack for d imei number written der n also dial *#06# on ur phone n check if d imei number on d pack tallies with dat of d fone.. If it doesn't then dats d problem . U wud av to change ur imei no to dat written on d pack.... It happened to me wen I bought my Zero I found out dat error n i changed it since den av bin given 500mb every month

I checked and the IMEI on the pack corresponds with what I got when I typed the code *#06#. When I SMS the activation code for the free 500MB the IMEI that Etisalat returns in the SMS telling me my IMEI is wrong is not mine (it's even 14 digits when IMEI is suppose to be 15 digits).

Sunglow:
@Op pls can do the same analysis for Tablets. Thanks

For Tablets check out: http://activities.aliexpress.com/best-tablets.php The good thing about Aliexpress is that 75% of their products are shipped free of charge and the fees are not much for the 25% that charge shipping fees.

Am allergy to chinko phones


NB:No quoting pls frm chinko fans cus I kn u will be fast to say,do I kn dat Iphones,Samsung bla bla bla re made in china due to cheap labour there......Happy last sunday of d year NL

Sorry I just couldn't help quoting you. Do you know the Chinese phone manufacturer Xiaomi is now the 3rd largest phone manufacturer in the world (next to iPhone and Samsung)? Do you know the brains behind this company were major western telecommunication gurus who decided to move to China to manufacture phones that would combine the features of iPhone and Samsung into one phone? I just saw the JiaYu S3 mentioned above at:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-3-Gifts-JiaYu-S3-4G-FDD-LTE-5-5-Inch-MTK6752-Octa-Core-Android-4/32233820769.html

The 3gb RAM version was selling for just $204 (NGN 37,751). If the specs on this phone was on an iPhone it could go for about NGN200,000. If it was found on a Samsung Galaxy it would be about NGN100,000. Gone are the days people bank on brand names. Small wonder Samsung Galaxy recorded its highest loss this year.

francis247:
Exactly. They should stop these very cheap scams and focus on delivering quality products and sevices. Called Etisalat CC the agent said they are not aware of any free data allocation for the infinix hot, that the only infinix device they are aware of is the Zero.

Imagine! So who pinned the Etisalat sticker on the box of Infinix Hot stating that they were allocating 500MB free data on activation along with other goodies? I think the Nigerian Ombudsman/Consumer Protection Agencies should start looking into these scams.

Thanks for this useful post. You've saved me a lot of time I would have used searching on Aliexpress. It will be JiaYu S3 Insha Allah. I will add it to my wishlist awaiting its launch in January.

The 500MB free data on activation and the 100% instant bonus on all purchases of 200MB data and above for 12 months is a big scam. I text DATA to 8186 in order to activate several times and I kept getting the message “the device imei 3536xxxxxx3928 is invalid.” At times it gave me false hope by returning the message “You have a pending request, please wait for confirmation” but to no avail.
I bought three pcs of Infinix hot during the Konga 12-12 shopping festival; till date none of them had been activated. I emailed Etisalat customer care and they told me to supply them with the following details for each of the phones: Etisalat Mobile Number, Device IMEI, Device Type, Device Offer, Error Messages, Channel of Purchase and attach a scanned copy of the receipt.
I did all that accurately and they informed me that they are carrying out an investigation and that they would reply me within 24 hours. No response till date.
That was how MTN, Innjoo and Jumia deceived Nigerians that they would provide free data for some Innjoo phones bought at Jumia. I bought two pcs of Innjoo i1s back then, did all the necessary texting and emailing to no avail.
Why do these reputable establishments and service providers have to use deceptive tactics in order to sell their products? They should realize Nigerians would still patronize their products even if they don’t scoop so low. In more civilized societies they would be held to account.

Is it true that Startimes is now accessible with a dish? if true do I need to buy their receiver or will their smart card work with Strong receiver?
