Almost half a year of use much g2 has passed. In general, satisfied, but there is something to say.
I repeat about the very poor reception of WiFi and Bluetooth, but at the same time, an excellent reception of 3G, GSM, GPS and FM radio
When Sim1 transitions from 3G to 2G and vice versa, during a conversation, noise appears, I continue to hear the interlocutor and the noise, and the interlocutor hears only the noise. If you turn on 3G mode only or only 2G, the problem practically does not appear (but once there was such a case)
I have a brake proximity sensor. To end a conversation, you need to take it away from your ear and wait 3-4 seconds for the display to turn on.
USB host almost died in the first days after inserting a USB flash drive in a steel case
Console emulators work almost everything except the PSP, the management is excellent, but sometimes there are not enough buttons, for example, in Medal Of Honor and Road Rush on PS1. The joystick works fine except for an incomprehensible glitch in GTA SA: at any moment it can start to rotate as if I frantically jerk the joystick. Since the problem is found only in GTA SA I think this is a glitch of the game itself. In console games, I usually use the joystick not as a joystick (a circle on the screen), but as separate directional buttons and everything rilitsya perfectly (Driver, Road Rush on PS1).
I did not understand Joystick Mode setting, Smart Rocker was selected from me there.
Only the joystick resource is concerned, how much will it suffice if you play intensively?
If a large round button is turned on when the display is locked, the flashlight will turn on, if it is briefly clamped, it lights up and goes out if released, and if you hold it for a long time, it turns on completely and you can not hold it, it turns off just by long pressing.

Everything else is OK, the battery pleases. When traveling to the mountains for 8 hours, GPS and OSMAnd worked, sometimes Opera, 3G was always on, only 45% of the battery was consumed per day.

Yesterday there was a record of work 7 days 5 hours, also all the time 3G, sometimes opera through 3G, sometimes games are unpretentious and calls.

Greetings
When buying Aim Pro, I always had time to get a friend to a beaver in the form of Much (S.rev), but what happened to our market (and not only ours)? excuses in the form of a crisis and the den. signs course are not accepted: beee:
Enough time has passed and Much got older brothers, but the price tag (230 € for W1 and 300 + € for W3d) seems too delusional to me (i5s and G2 remain, but where do I get the beavers now? ..
In the extreme case, I would consider Much Jr. in the form of i5 / Much-01, but that's bad luck, and now they can’t be found in Russia in the afternoon with fire, let alone Moscow (of course, I’m also considering an order from China, but they are sold with adequate prices to me)
Help me find a friend for Aim, he is tired of waiting and has already tried to drown from grief, but was saved / restored and with new forces with optimism and faith in the friendship of the chipset, he keeps the antenna downwind with the hope of meeting you soon: drinks:

Guys, I have a small password with his password, and I do not remember the password with soap from him, how can Wipe be made?
In this Chinese recovery I could not find Wip `s, who will help?

Good day.

I have a sad story here. I had i5s (I lived with him for 3-4 years) was stolen into a bus from my pocket yesterday: (End of a sad story ..

I looked from the fact that there is now .... EEEE since I5s has not changed much)

In general, I plan to take Much G2.

Confused bad wi-fi, and most importantly 1gb operational.

With 1gb, whether the emulators will go, etc., for some reason it seems to me somehow it is generally not enough for games .. Google and Vibr are simultaneously on and all the bodies will hang ...


Tell me how to switch to g2 after i5s? Someone passed on, as a feeling?
Is 1GB enough to play games?
How is Wi-Fi compared to i5s?

By the way, anyone interested in buying herehttp://kupit-smartfon.com.ua/much-g2.html(This is in Ukraine)

Can anyone have an answer?

Confused bad wi-fi,

Previously, the topic did not unsubscribe, although it looked through it periodically.

I have no questions for Wi-Fi and there was no - the reception is excellent, at least in comparison with Jiayu G4 (better) and Lenovo K3 Note (not worse). As an example: reception and speed are quite decent through 2 interior partitions in a panel house, and also they pick up (though not always) under the porch and in the car - naturally, from the side of the room window where the router is installed, the apartment is on the 6th floor. Therefore, all the indignations about the poor reception of wi-fi are completely incomprehensible to me.
Yes, the device is two, small ones ordered the same, so that there are no fights and other things :).

On operative - there were no special questions. But here, the replacement of the stock launcher may have played its role immediately after receiving (using ADW).
Emulators he did not set, they have enough games and without emulators :).

Google and Vibere simultaneously on and all the bodies will hang ...

I didn’t quite understand what is meant by "google", but google services (and how without them in games;)) and vibere are always on, they don’t interfere with games, at least they don’t interfere with performance, pop-up messages are separate conversation;).
