Hello,
Please forgive me if this is placed in the wrong forum.
Anyone bought the Vernee Apollo (NON-light)?
I did, and so far I'm not pleased. The battery is very, very poor. The camera does not feel like a 21mpx Sony and the OS feels slow.
Does anyone know if there is any development on a custom rom? Tried searching Google and XDA. (This is not a request).
What are your experiences of this phone?
Regards,
The phone itself looks great and for 250 bucks, i think the camera is okay. in good light conditions it taks good photos and the new update improved the ingerprint sensor a lot. the battery life is poor but if you charge your phone for half an our in the afternoon you will get over the day. i dont experience a slow os, it feels really fast. overall i like the phone but a very disappointing issue that i have is that it disconnects from mobile network while in standyby. i cant receive calls or messages until i reboot my apollo.
Vernee apollo /non lite /
hi ... anyone knows how to root this device ?
Vernee apollo
HI,
I got my Vernee Apollo just yesterday and to be honest even though phone has a good built, I am not quite impress by the functions of it. The vibration option in my opinion doesn't work so great it gives the phone a very cheap feel. To be honest it sounds like it is vibrating but doesn't feel that way. Display is good not stellar with the VR headset tho. But I guess for the price it is not bad. However usd$250.00 is like TT$1700.00 so which makes it a big deal for me. I am yet to see how it stands up as time goes by. I however had some hiccups on the first day. The went into boot-loader mode by mistake but i was like a headless chicken because everything was in Chinese sighs but I manage to get out i am hoping everything runs smoothly from here tho. :fingers-crossed:

After about 2 months of use, I have to say that I don't recommend this phone at all. Keep in mind that I am using the phone with the MadOS 7.1 and not the original rom. I have two main issues but they are both important. The first issue is the battery, it is not powerful at all and this is not the problem at all. Vernee lied that the phone has a battery of 3500mah battery but the battery capacity is actually ~3100mah. The major problem that I faced is that the battery sensor. The battery can go from 20% to 80% in seconds and as you can imagine it can do the opposite as well. The battery readings are not accurate at all. The second problem is the 3G-4G connectivity. For some reason sometimes the phone is slow in connecting to the 3G-4G network, which is pretty disturbing. The overall performance is pretty good for me, I didn't face any lags.

Hi buddies, i was checking for the Xperia Z Ultra, it is really a good option???
I love this phablet, specially for the big screen. But I have some questions:
Can you tell me your user experience with Z Ultra?
Are the integrated battery smartphones sure? I use the removable battery all the time. You can tell me your experience with other Sony phones too.
Can you tell me all the bugs you found in it
Tell me general aspects of this phone (portability, heating, camera, sound, screen, etc.)
Anyone tried PPSSPP in the Z Ultra? Can you tell me your experience with high graphic games (e.g Crash Titans, God Of War)
I´m considering buy this phone, I love it. Thanks in advance.
Sorry for my poor English.
- If you mean user experience as in Sony UI, it's good. It's not bloated and things are fast and smooth. As for its physical size, it can be too much if you have small hands, but we - the users here, clearly like it.
- The battery is non-removable and it's good. You can expect to get 4-5 hours of screen time on each charge with 15-24 hours of uptime. My personal record is 7 hours of screen time and about 22 hours of uptime (on a single charge). STAMINA does its job very well, so it doesn't use much battery while it's in standby.
- There aren't many bugs, but there might be some small ones. I can't really say that i've noticed any bugs in the latest firmware (257), but i'm sure there are some small ones hiding some place. You won't experience any serious ones though.
- Portability is.. well.. not as good as an iPhone or a Nexus 5, but you'll have to learn to have it in your jacket (if you live in a temperate region), and also learn to take the Ultra out of your front pocket when you sit down, or it might bend, Heating isn't an issue as long as you don't play games while charging the battery or play an intensive 3D game for a long period of time. Camera is really bad. That is all. The speaker is not that good and it's like a 5 year old playing the drums. You'll certainly hear it and you'll hear it when you receive calls and notifications, but it's not powerful at all so I wouldn't use it as a boomblaster at a party (the vibrator is brutal though). The screen is fantastic and it's bright and does the job very well, so no complaints there.
That's it i guess.
Hey there,
I want to buy a new phone and put my C5303 away ... I am saw some people complaining about overheating Z5C. Should I buy Z3C or Z5C?
What will I do with the phone?
1.Play HD games (rr3,asphalt 8 etc.)
2.Texting
3.Take so much photos (not recording videos so much but I will record some)
4.And of course phone calls
Thanks to those people who will help me
Z5c. The camera is far better than on z3c. So is gaming
Go for the Z3 compact! Ive had the Z3 compact and now ive got the Z5 compact, the Z5c heats up when playing games (even with less demanding ones like terraria) and this results in battery drain. Where the Z3c used to last me a day with the same use the Z5c has to be charged twice daily. I would go back to the Z3c if I could, it was a great device and probably the best phone I've ever had.
Z5c definitely gets warm but not super hot unless you are installing apps or doing something intense while gaming...
I myself play asphalt 8 and it's really just fine, works great.
As for battery life, any heavy 3d app is bound to eat battery on any device , I'd say you can get over an hour of gaming and still make it to the end of the day, I've never had to charge my Z5c twice in a day and with casual use (no heavy 3d gaming) I usually start the next day with about 50-60%
If you want a dependable camera, you'll need Z5c. Z3c's camera is really not good at all. I've had both and the difference is significant. Plus, the capless usb is a huge advantage. The front camera is also far better on z5c.
I was in the same doubt: Z5C for sure! the construction itself (the z5c it's nicer than z3c), the battery is ok (normally use: BT activated non-stop, Mobile Data, 30min-1h angry birds 2, about 2-3h calls, and playing around the phone a lot, music about 1-2h - charged in the morning, and in the evening is about 40-50% which is impressive for me, coming from Galaxy S6 dual sim where I had to charge it twice per day!). The camera is definitely better (I spent about 1 day to compare other phones with Z5 and Z5C)
I won't call it either warm or super hot but it does heat up. Camera on z5c is way better and screen improved. The battery life will just getting better after Android 6.0 so it should not be a problem. If you do real playing HD games full day then z3c might be more safe for it's lower temp.
So most of you guys are saying that Z5C is better than Z3C. I will get the Z5C %70. I will get it from Dubai so not sure about the price. Anyway thanks for help I think Z5C should be a good device for me. Have a nice day!
I have the Z5C and I really dislike it. Great phone ruined with Snapdragon 810.
Some things are just unusable on this phone. Like WiFi hotspot with LTE. Phone turns it off automatically after a while since the phone gets too hot.
Really disappointed on this phone. 1/10
Edit:
And this issue happened to me while the phone was not even charging, so I'm guessing that it lasts even shorter period of time if the phone is charging.
We used to use my phone as a router while not at home since I've got unlimited 150 MB/s LTE data plan.
But with this device it is actually impossible to use it for this purpose.
Also the phone also shuts down the camera if taking 4k video for more than a few minutes. The same error message appears about the temperature as with the LTE WiFi hotspot.
Other that that the phone is great, but still. Anyone needing these features should get some other phone.
I could live with these issues if the phone was actually cheap, but Z5C is not a cheap phone.

I use my phone as a WiFi hotspot often and have never had it turn off by itself so don't make an assumption all of them will do it.

You tried with multiple connections and 150 Mb/s LTE and tried downloading something over a few minutes with it?

No, I wouldn't know where to find 150 Mbps LTE. I use it like I imagine most people do, with one or two devices to access various web sites. I do stream Youtube with it and have not had any problems. Yours sounds like a special use case.

Yeah sorry if I was vague about the issue. But yeah light use is no problem. But my previous phone had no issues with this kind of usage.
Perhaps I'll need to root and downclock or something when using this for that purpose.
Hi Guys!
Currently I own the Z3C and a Z1C, I plan to upgrade to a Z5C soon but I just wanted to ask about the battery life and other issues like stuttering and laggy ui or something and of course the camera , since I think most of the Z5C people were Z3C people before..
Thanks Alot!

Keep the z3c, the only benefit in the upgrade would be charging port location.

And fingerprint scanner
and better camera, battery is ok, if don't use wifi much can last 2 says without problem, calls, sms, 4g is always on checking mails, facebook, tapatalk, i charge it every night so i have whole day without problems
I did exactly that, how i felt? Well 50/50 to be honest. I love the Z5 sleek design over the Z3. However the minimal upgrades (Speaker, USB, Cpu and camera) aren't all that beneficial for moving tier. When it comes down to lag or performing task on the phone, its literally the least thing you'd notice, practically none at all except keyboard delays.
Battery is Okay, I can use it 2 days and be at 15% on the second day afternoon. So its a little tight but it does the job, however I remember with the z3 if would last me 2-3 days easily heck even 4.
Its up to you. Z5 family are the last spring of the Z series
Hi
I am Nexus 4 user - great phone with lot of great ROMs available here, great performance and good size - but battery is no longer big enough to match my needs. So I am looking for a new phone and ran into Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro.
There is a lot of positive comments about this device, but also quite a lot of drawbacks - no 800MHZ band, problems with microphone/speaker, some battery performance issues... So, is there any better choice in that kind of money? I am looking for something with big battery to be able to do something more than 2-2,5h of WEB vieweing... I am not playing games, apps that I am using are not really demanding ones. My other thought is Asus Zenfone Max - but Redmi Note 3 PRO looks much better while comparing some statistics.
So, any other thoughts? I would be grateful for all responses and advices
If you need 800mhz try: http://www.geekbuying.com/item/-HK-...OTG-Fast-Charge-Gyroscope---Black-367828.html
I have no issues with battery or speaker. 800mhz isn't the end of the world unless you 100% need it
If you can live without 800mhz and bad low light camera, nothing can beat this device value. Battery and performance is among the best you can get today.
I never have those mic/speaker/battery/performance issues.
Hello, I received my RN3 Pro yesterday and I have to say it's freakin amazing. A definite upgrade from Nexus 4(I came from a Moto G2, and before that Nexus 4). I charged it to 100% yesterday and it gave me 7.5hrs SOT till 1pm today, which is frankly mind blowing for two reasons,
1) More than 4hrs SOT ftw
2) I played around 1hr of Pokemon go ( continuously uses 3G and GPS) and still managed 7hrs sot.
So yes, you'll easily get >3hrs of web viewing. The one issue I found however is that the phone makes a hissing sound when connected to AUX cable, many people have this problem and are saying it's software related, so maybe there will be a fix. Secondly on very low volume with earphones,(step 1-3) you can hear a noticeable hissing sound which I'm pretty sure is software related, but it's not a deal breaker. The drawback of the Asus I feel is that there's no rom support, not as good specs as the RN3. RN3 has a snapdragon 650 which is basically an improved version of last year's flagship SoC. Also, build quality is amazing on the RN3. MIUI is a great feature packed rom!
So basically I definitely recommend the RN3, the battery life is going to definitely make you very happy ��
Yes definitely,its a beast and even I came from mako to this phone .I've to say I'm amazed by its battery and performance.really so fast the custom ROM development is awesome for this phone.. definitely a good choice to buy this phone for such a low cost..!
Thank You very much for all answers
Yeah, I think I can live without 800mhz, for taking good photos in every occasion I have other more specialized devices
I just ordered 2/16 version
a guy said its this phones software is so buggy.is it true?and just a second question:how is the battery charging speed from 0-100?plz answer me ty
Well I have yet to see any problems and I use this thing heavy. Battery is getting good after 3 days use ,battery life always seems yo wear in on new ROMs so a new phone I guess the same. Charge with supplied charger is fast , 70% in 30 mins easy.
A lot of bugs I read about seem to be more user issues or environment issues , I have no WiFi, LTE, camera , screen, battery drain issues at all.
Greenify, amplify, xposed, rooted , latest update , nova launcher, nify, substranium, all up n running nice.
Tested several big games, smooth and quick to load, phone feels snappy, in comparison to my HTC m10 (broken screen hence I buy this) this phone is smoother, screen nicer, sound the same, camera better, in fact very impressed by this phone.
I guess so long as you know android you won't have issues , only if you are new to android you may miss the hand holding the big boys phones offer.
All in all buy this, read and learn, have patience and enjoy a great bargain.
