"If a 3.5-inch phone is just too small, and 5 inch is just too big, then the MyPhone A848 might be the right size of phone for you. This 4-inch Android phone is packed with features that an average Android user needs. Its 1 Ghz processor can keep up with your simple multi-tasking needs. The 5MP camera with LED flash can also come in handy anytime you need it. Its standard 3.5mm audio jack with mp3 player compatibility is perfect for music listening on-the-go.

Pa help po same lng po problem ko kay rochelle canale... may makakatulong po ba samin?
ReplyDeleteHello guys,
ReplyDeletePa help naman with my problem. Kasi hindi ko ma enable yung GPRS sa phone ko. I have Globe and Smart SIM na try ko na pareho pero lagi "Connection Failed" yung nakikita ko sa browser ko. Sa globe sinubukan ko yung mag seset ka ng phone model then send. Tapos sinasabi "Invalid keyword". Nauubos n load ko hindi ko pa mapagana ung GPRS. Nag try na din ako mag set manually.

Ano po ba ang mas maganda Myphone A818 o Myphone A848 ???
ReplyDeleteMyPhone A848 po
ReplyDeleteYup, tama po yan. Fixed-focus po ito at walang GPS.
ReplyDeleteah. last na last na lang tlaga po kuya adrian, pde po?
ReplyDeletewith GPS po tlaga sya and fixed focus ?
kasi sa ibang website wla dw pong gps saka AF dw po cam nya.
Same po yan sa computer, mas mabilis po ung dual-core dahil dalawa po yung processor nito compare sa single-core.
ReplyDeleteI owned this myphone model less than a month now, everything's working fine. You get more for a very affordable price on the other hand since its single core and we have the lowest dsl plan and I bought a wifi modem, it tends to hang every single time I try to watch videos, and I end up power cycling the phone for at least 3-4 times and just stop watching the video at all because of frustration, I remove all the unnecessary files stored in my sd card thinking that it may help the slow pace of my phone but it doesnt help it at all.
ReplyDeleteah ganun. ano po pagkakaiba ng fixed focus sa auto focus?
ReplyDeletediba may gsensor din sya kuya adrian?
ReplyDeleteMeron po
ReplyDeleteMyPhone po, but depende pa rin yan sa user.
ReplyDeleteMeron nmn po Flare na kahit ilang beses na nabagsak sa lupa, ok parin yung phone at ganyan din sa ibang A848.
kung halimbawa po preho lang ng way ang pag gamit ng cp like ng flare tska ng a848 duo? alin kaya sa dalawa ang mas tatagal ang buhay? =D
ReplyDeleteah. salamat po kuya adrian. =)
ReplyDeleteanong mas maganda ang quality? flare or a818 duo?
ReplyDeleteDepende sa user po yan. Sa performance po Flare, sa price A818 Duo
ReplyDeletePunta ka po sa Settings > Bluetooth > Then turn it "ON" > Tap the "menu" capacitive button > Rename phone.
ReplyDeletesir paano po ba ma personalize uny name ng bluetooth sa my phone a848 duo
ReplyDeleteMP A848i Duo po dahil dual-core, 5-point multi-touch, 5MP auto focus at meron 3G connectivity.
ReplyDeleteIto po ung specs comparison ng dalawa http://www.ilonggotechblog.com/2012/12/myphone-a848-duo-vs-myphone-a848i-duo.html#.UVIoMBwyazs
anong mas ok po ba talaga ? a848 duo or a848i ?
ReplyDeleteIto po yung 5-point touch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRCDRXYJBCY Yung madali po yan dahil capacitive touch po yung A848
ReplyDeleteGo to System settings, storage. too many option you can choose. choose what you prefer.

ReplyDeleteSabi po A848 users autofocus po yung device.
ReplyDeletetip lang po baka maka tulong. lower the brightness turn off the data, blue tooth and wifi kng di ginagamit.
ReplyDeleteyou have to root your phone para matolungan kit. kasi you need to swap internal phone storage to ext sd.
ReplyDeletepls help. just got my a848i..and i can't download from the play store..."connection time out"/"connection error" lumalabas..what should i do?
ReplyDeletebaka maka tulong po go to system setting->apps-> then hapain mo yung google play, then uninstall updates.
ReplyDeletebakit d nagauauto focus ung a848 ko?
ReplyDeleteQ1: is it normal ba sa unit nato na 4 hrs ang charging time then after 6-7 hrs stand by ay lobat na?
ReplyDeleteQ2: effective ba ung mga battery saver sa playstore? thanks guys
Bakit po? Kahit sa "message option" > "forward" nd rin gumagana?
ReplyDeleteah ok...long press pala the specific msg. thank u
ReplyDeletehi,can't forward txt msgs from this phone, just got it ysterday.
ReplyDeleteany1 please? thnx n advnce :)
bakit ung aken. kahapon ko lang binili. may memory card naman ng 8gb pero sa tuwing nagdDL ako ng apps namamatay buhay sya ng sarili nya. lagi p syang log. may antivirus naman ako wala nmng virus. nakakadisappoint din
ReplyDeleteNa try mu po bumalik sa pinagbilhan mu po baka meron defect yung phone mu? At na try mu din po mg DL ng wala memory card? Baka sa memory card din po yan.
ReplyDeletePunta ka po sa Settings > Language & Input > Android Keyboard > Uncheck mu yung "Vibrate on keypress"
ReplyDeleteim using this phone and i love it :) sulit ang money nyo!
ReplyDeleteIt does not support 3G, but that doesn't mean na hindi ka pwede mag-internet sa phone mo using your sim card. Just pull down the notification bar then select "Data Connection", after that, a pop up will be displayed and all you have to do is select the sim card that you want to use to be able to connect to the internet. Hindi nga lang sya mabilis, but still, you're able to post pictures on instagram or update your facebook and twitter account.
ReplyDeletegreat, i haven't gone to their specs, and tried it
ReplyDeletePwd po, GPRS/EDGE lng ung gagana dahil wala ito 3G connectivity.
ReplyDeletepaano iactivate?
ReplyDeletehindi ba magagawan ng paraan para maactivate ang mobile internet?
ReplyDeletepano po maalis ang keypad vibration while typing sa A848
ReplyDeletePunta ka po sa Settings > Language and input > Android Keyboard > uncheck ung "Vibrate on keypress"
ReplyDeletenablock po yung cellphone ko.dhil sa masyadong maraming attemp sa password ng kapatid ko. at ngayon po hinihingi yung google account ko. pero khit ilagay ko pa yung google account ko ang nalabas po is invalid yung email or password pero pag binubuksan ko po sa laptop ok nman po.. panu po ggawin ??
ReplyDeletekung ano ang nangyari sayo ay nangyari den sa akin.. what i did is i format it since i dont have any choice. all my downloaded applications were gone. now, i cant download any application from play store and i don't know why...
ReplyDeletemas maganda ang services ng A848..super awesome..d ka maghihinayang sa pagbili nito...
ReplyDeletetuwing mag iinstal po ako ng games at ng apps, dalawa lang po ang default storage, ang internal at ang phone storage, meron ga pong paraan para gawing default instalation point ang aking sd card imbes sa phone storage? kasi di po kasya mga hd games eh, thanks
ReplyDeleteYou need to root your phone...
ReplyDeleteall android powered devices doesn't install files on SD card because google(android) said that SD card cannot run games smoothly and perfectly when the games is in the SD card... specially hd games
Advantage of rooting:: install apps to SD.. long battery life.. speed up the unit... making back up.... bug free...... install new rom.... new appearance, memory swap (your internal can change to external (vice versa) ... and you can gain full control of the unit.. that's why it is called "ROOT"
Disadvantage of rooting: Your phone/device might get bricked... or useless.... (like carrying a brick in your pocket) and instead of speeding up the unit, it can also slowing the unit and getting hang
and your phone/device warranty will be lost
(root at your own risk) ^_^ (take it to the experts)
rooting is for android powered devices
jailbreak is for the ios
nabili ko na sya hahhaha
ReplyDeleteSa Google Play po o dito http://www.apkmania.co/. Sa akin po no need na po yung anti-virus dahil kumakain lng po ito ng resources sa phone mu.
ReplyDeletesan po ko pwede mag dl ng antibirus>

ReplyDeletequick question, since A848 duo doesnt have 3G connectivity, pag nag unli surf ka sa globe sim mo, hinde ka padin mkakapag internet? some are saying they can still browse the net. and if may personal hotspot ba yang A848 duo?
ReplyDeletehow would you distinguish if your using 3G then? kase if thats the case then why bother going for the A848i if sa A848 ok na. hehe. uo nga pla, how about the personal hotspot? thanks bro sa reps
ReplyDeleteYup, mka net ka din po at mabagal lng yung loading time dahil GPRS/EDGE yung connection.
ReplyDeletequick question, sa A848 duo, if nag unli surf ka sa globe, would you still be able to access the net on your phone? or that typically eliminates the purpose since A848 duo doesnt support 3G?

ReplyDeletepano mag connect sa internet using globe sim?? pls advice. gusto ko sana mag avail nang supersurf200..
ReplyDeleteMeron hotspot, bagal lng po dahil nd po ito 3G.
