Tell them that your unit didn’t come with one. They should promptly give you a free protector.

Yung akin nakacharge ngayon Hindi naman ganyan. Although bago ako umalis sa kiosk na pinagbilhan ko, tinest ko LAHAT. Mula camera, texting, pagconnect sa internet, music, Bluetooth transfer, even calling. Pinasaksak ko talaga yung sim ko. In gairness, masasabi Kong premium yung bigat na may response ng low-priced phone. He he he.. You know how a low-priced phone feels like. Pretty good performance actually. And the best part is, I can save apps to SD so now I don’t have to worry about the 4GB memory card. I’ve learned that not all devices are able to do that (My CM Superion Odyssey would not) So I’m breathing easier because I don’t have to worry about running out of storage space.

Share ko lang po experience ko sa Cloudfone Excite 502Q. Nakabili po ako nito mga 3 days ago na. Ang ganda sana ng phone na to kasi parang iphone 5c. Ang problema lang ay pag ginagamit mo sya ng nakacharge kasi pag may ni long tap ka sa isang icon na gusto mo ilipat ay nanginginig at instead na matap yong icon nararoute ka sa loob ng icon. At isa pa sobrang hassle kasi pag nanavigate ka sa phone habang nakacharge at pag may tinap ka na icon imbis na yong icon na tinap mo ang mag open ang katabi nyang icon ang nagoopen at isa pa pagnagscroll ka sa page habang nakacharge at pag nagtext ka hindi ka matapos tapos sa ginagawa mo kasi kung saan saan napupunta ang screen. Alam ko na hindi okay na gamitin ang phone pag nakachargempero syempre kung talagang bago at normal ang phone kahit na nakacharge normal ang performance nya. At isa pa pano pag may emergency ka na kailangan ginagamit mo ang phone habang nakacharge sobrang hassle. I dont comfortable sa ganitong performance. Bumalik ako sa binilhan ko kaso sabi ng sales clerk sa kiosk dito sa SM City Bacolod ganun din daw ang phone nya kasi pareho kami ng ginagamit. Ganito po ba talaga lahat ng Cloudfone Excite 502Q nyo? Thanks po.

Change your power adapter. Bili ka ng ibang USB socket para sa cord mo. We got the same problem but when I change the USB socket wala ng eratic na nagaganap using the phone while charging.

test · 12 years ago

it happens to my phone when the charger is grounded. change the charger.

Applet · 12 years ago

Got mine today. Talk about bright screen! And in fairness when I took a selfie, naglabasan lahat ng blemishes ko sa mukha. If the camera’s trying to impress me, it’s doing a really rotten job. Lol hope it doesn’t break in a month just like everybody’s saying! He he he.. Magandang go-to na smartphone for the price. Not sure how the Memory would fare since I usually download a whole bunch a stuff in my phone so we’ll see!

Rosenburg · 12 years ago

This or Rio? Any suggestion? Planning to buy cheap phone.

nocram · 12 years ago

Panalo battery nito for FWVGA, mas matagal malobat to compare sa rio

wew · 12 years ago

nung nakita ko ung price,kala ko swak na swak na dahil akala ko malaki ung battery. un na nga lang ang maganda sa cloudfone dahil mataas ang capacity eh.haha

asd · 12 years ago

I have this just now. Just a heads-up, from the untrained eye it looks like an IPS display but it’s a high quality TN panel. Nonetheless, it’s still a good phone but shame on you Cloudfone for false advertising!

kwwago · 12 years ago

but does it have a good display quality because of the OGS, as advertized? How about the camera?

asd · 12 years ago

@kwwago I’m 90% positive that it is OGS. The display quality is really good. They’ve done a good job with the viewing angles as it only has 2 angles where color shift occurs, for an average user it is alright but I wouldn’t recommend it to power users since TN panels tend to be dizzy to look at for long periods of use. The camera is one thing I’m very impressed at, it is a true 12MP sensor that takes great photos from moderately lit environments. Low light photos are above average. I’m not a fan of the single LED flash though as it fails to completely light up low lit subjects and when it does, it is mostly overdone. For those worried about the 1800mah battery, I can safely say it can last you a day with moderate usage.

kwwago · 12 years ago

Thanks for the feedback. I’m trying to decide whether to get this one or Myphone Rio. Although Rio has HD diplay, i’m not quite satisfied with the display quality because of its glass panel, which some say is plastic-y (acrylic). the advantage of 502q is it’s OGS and that 12mp camera. One last question, is it OTG ready?

asd · 12 years ago

@kwwago I’ve only seen the Rio in stores and I can confirm from short use that the display is indeed plastic. It is tolerable but the colors doesn’t really pop out because it is plastic. I’d say the performance of the two phones are almost the same with the 502q being a little bit more faster (because it only has FWVGA). The camera on the 502q is no doubt far superior than that of the Rio. I have no OTG cable on hand but I doubt that it would support it since it only has a measly battery capacity.

abbee · 12 years ago

Is this CTIA compliant? I wonder if I can use the latest headsets with this phone. Thanks!

kwwago · 12 years ago

my very, very last question. How do you assess its display quality? does the 190ppi annoy you at all, or is it still bearable despite the low pixel count?

asd · 12 years ago

@abbee It’s OMTP but you can buy a converter from your local audio store.

@kwwago If you are coming from a 1080p device, you will surely notice a difference, but if you come from a HD phone, it’s almost identical. Text are very readable in small fonts and is not jagged in any way. Honestly, a qHD would be better on this but I wouldn’t complain because of the cheap price for what you’re getting. From experience, I think 300ppi upwards is overkill so don’t worry too much about the pixel density.

gavin · 12 years ago

hidalgo · 12 years ago

Bkit di kamu ni Excite 502d http://www.mobilesago.com/2014/04/CloudFone-Excite-502d-Specs.html si Excite 502q?
Mas gusto ko design ni 502d eh!

titset · 12 years ago

good afternoon class… mukhang di nyo ginagamit ang kokote nyo ah. makinig at intindihin ng mabuti, ok? 5″ FWVGA + 1800 mAh > 5″ 720p + 2000 mAh, given that both run the same SoC.

pataynako · 12 years ago

ang galing mo po. ang alam ko kasi kaya bumebenta si cloudfone dahil sa battery nila o sa libreng powerbank. pero hamo na wala naman akong pambili wag nalang intindihin.

nocram · 12 years ago

Tama ka sir. ewan ko ba sa mga comment ng iba jan kala mo ang galing nila. matagal po malobat ito kasi hindi sa HD compare sa rio, mas ok pa to sa games kc mbba reso nya. since OGS naman sya, malinaw na malinaw to parang HD na rin kaya panalo

xtian · 12 years ago

Guys, can applications be installed on the SD card on this one?

JoRu16 · 12 years ago

Yes.

abuzalzal · 12 years ago

My EXCITEment for the Excite 502q went away when I saw the puny battery capacity. Oh well, bastards are still going to buy whatever affordable piece of junk smartphone they see on the market.

Cheap bastard android geeks, gamers and techies.

pataynako · 12 years ago

Blasted · 12 years ago
