New g300 for £45?
HUKD have really missed this deal as even £85 went hot a couple of times.

Probably the way I did it ... discount code and double up on vouchers worked out costing me about £34 ish

Try... making sure fastboot is OFF in settings and then doing a power off, power on. If fast boot is set rebooting just restores it to the same state as it was even with crashed programs lingering still the same. Always give it a good couple of minutes on powering up left completely untouched to sort its self out properly, jumping in too soon can confuse it whilst its trying to start services.

You can whilst plugged into a pc try defragging any drives that appear in explorer. Defragging shouldn't really apply to solid state drives but does seem to help. Can run a disk check too.

In developer section of settings you can turn off all the fancy transitions to speed up the interface, also ensure use hardware render is on, can also try limiting number of apps/processes allowed to keep running.

The G300 really shouldn't be that sluggish to use or make calls although web browsing is never going to be up to too much on a 1GHZ single core.

Same here. I never see this product under £70 even until today. I would like if someone could prove it wrong ....

If you are talking about adding voucher it is a different matter. Someone could get it for free if they get GBP voucher from their parents, close relatives, OH.

I had one of these and it was really slow. Sent it off to Vodafone after a load of faff. They just made it worse.

After having enough, I bought myself out of my contract and got a new contract plus phone with T-mobile. Much happier now. Had problems with the first phone they gave me; but the service was better. I was then given a new phone and have had no trouble at all.

It lasted me a grand total of 11 months. During that time, the battery and charger had to be replaced.

The Y300 is very similar to the G300 and can be had for £40 from CPW (provided you have a 6 month old PAYG sim from any of the big 5 mobile companies)

G300 was a great phone.


Time has moved on and so has technology, so its not going to stand up against a Moto G etc.

Indeed it was the very best budget phone of its day. But things inevitably move on in the mobile at a fair old lick and now Google have got actively involved at the budget end of the market with the Moto G things may never be the same again for the Chinese/Far East phone makers. It's basically a game changer. Proper mid range performance/build quality at a budget price.
