Itel Is A Mess by Nobody: 6:24pm On Oct 04, 2017
So earlier this year around March I went broke and all hopes to purchase a good Samsung phone went with the wind as I was left with no choice than to buy a very cheap Mobile.

My girlfriend then(ex) was using Itel 1408 which she bought for 17000 naira so I thought instead of getting a used Tecno or Infinix of about 20k, lemme kukuma buy new phone ahbi. So I went to a reputable phone store at Ikorodu and purchased the same mobile for 17500 naira, not bad I was finally happy I had to do away with WhatsApp on my PC that kept draining my battery cause of the many apps needed to run it.

Fast forward to that evening, well I didn't expect much of a 17500 android phone but I got more than I bargained for. That evening when I plugged in the mobile to charge at home, it took forever to move from 66% to 67, that was when I knew I had bought wahala with my own money.

I tried complaining only to find out later that almost all Itel phones had the 'slow charge' ish, but come on, 6hours to charge a phone?? That ain't cool. That 6hours would charge at least 3laptops with one charger.

Now the ram is 512 and it can't power two apps without lagging. I used a tecno p5 before which had same 512 ram and it could power at least 4-5 apps successfully except when I'm running a battery saver app which I deleted after I realized the battery saver was killing my phone's performance.

This phone isn't up to year old oh and it restarts by itself. At times I'll be the one to switch it back on. Imagine you need to make an important call or you're on an important chat and your phone decides to go OFF and then uses another 10 minutes to restarts because of some 'app optimization' nonsense! Yuck!

I love listening to the radio but I can't use the phone I purchased with my own money, my personal money! Wanna know why? The phone has a bad radio reception and I have to keep borrowing my mum's Nokia phone of 12k to listen to the radio, imagine!.

The phone can hot like the sun in the North eh.

My dad called me twice today and the phone just didn't display anything n then went off, just like that!

I've taya oh

Eeyah! Oma se ooo. Hardluck bro. About the manufacturer, it's a reputable one to me though i've never used their product before but i have people who use it around me to the extent that i even recommend some of their particular devices for people that ask me for some specs in a device which i know it has.

Luck might be another factor.

That's what you will always get looking for cheap Android phones.

Don't blame the phone. Blame your pocket.

Hello @Gbadegesin19 I'm sorry you're experiencing this.
Please run a Factory Data Reset on your device. You'll need to Back up all the information you have on it because the Reset will clean out everything on the phone; use the Back Up & Restore App on your device for that purpose.
After you must have done the Back Up, Go to SETTINGS, scroll down to BACK UP & RESET, tap it open and at the Bottom you'll see RESET PHONE. Click on RESET PHONE, read Instructions that follow and click RESET. Allow it to reload & check for changes.

If the problem persists, the sub-board needs to be changed & you need to run a System Update. Visit the Carlcare Service Centre closest to you for assistance. You may Book a reservation using the Carlcare Application on your device [and give the information required]; Our contact number(s) and addresses are also in the App Or let me know your location so that I forward one to you.

Battery is over 80% yet it'll still take over one to get 100%.
