    Hi all

    Got this phone last week, famous last words but its the best baragin ever for me.

    Battery is not great but downloaded juice defender which seems to be working well

    One major gripe is the media sound. Its beyond awful. I thought it might be the earphones so changed them and the result was the same. The sound is so low, pointless listening to it in a tube or any place that has any outside noise

    Does anyone have any ideads/apps they have downloaded that can somehow improve the sound
    I use my phone mostly for music, at first i tried lots of headphones, the best ones i found were the ones with the rubber bits that fit into your ear . I got mine from poundland

    hth
    Shop one - A vs T
    Shop two - A vs W
    And then repeat :j:j:j
    & now add - A vs S
    What the heck A vs the world :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Thanks for the tip on the case - I was in my local HB yesterday looking and they have nothing phone techy at all :-(

    I got a car charger for £4 from Asda, just a generic one, but it works.

    Today the end came off my stylus, luckily it wasn't in the phone at the time. Anyone had this happen? what did you do to sort it out?

    Hi, do you have any more info on the car charger from Asda please?

    I could do with one for long car journeys to keep my daughter occupied with her phone.

    ;)

    The Asda Charger was a Nexus with a micro usb connector - the guy in Asda let me check it would fit and it was a single connector not the multi connector ones on the web site, I have found they are basically useless in the past.

    I did look on ebay and yes they have very very cheap chargers, but as chargers are probably the most copied, safety cert faked, corners cut in making, so potenitally dangerous, bits of kit around, I wanted to buy one from a Uk seller I could have some redress with and I figure my phone and my car is worth more to me that the £3 difference!

    My phone has died and as I've still got a contract for six months I've ordered one of these today - thank you!!!

    Has anyone unlocked one? I found a free download earlier but it was going on about using credits after a 'beta' period and that worried me... (eta. I think the credits thing was for some device).

    I have an o2 phone but ordered one today. dont really see te point of unlocking this budget phone. it cost me £25 effectively and comes with free internet for 6 months so i want to use that and don't see the point of paying to have it unlocked.
    Thanks to OP, and thanks to t-mobile for sending me an email to tell me the phone was on its way. Great service.

    Thanks very much, I take it you paid £4 for the Asda one?

    You don't need a sim card in it anyway if you use it in a wifi hotspot etc.

    Otherwise it will take a Virgin sim without it being unlocked.
