me_saket 73 Report post Posted December 24, 2015 Hi everyone. After long time I login again to rimweb. Yesterday during flipkart December offer Got this phone at rs18000-1000-1700-500=14800. Feeling like best deal crack. My previous HTC desire 700, started giving poor battery 🔋 backup on CDMA and some firmware issue. U ll find many review of this handset, but no one given this observation SIM 1. Airtel 4G, SIM 2. RCDMA. There is option to choose which SIM will be used for data service. Once I selected RCDMA, them other SIM change its network to EDGE MODE, SECONDLY POOR ****ING AIRTEL WONT ALLOWED ME CONNECT 4G network, then I changed SIM to 4G, and f*@ki#g airtel deactivated my sim, and got my mums activated on some unknown SIM. My observations says u can't use CDMA SIM and other SIM at 4G network standby mode. If R JIO launch pure 4G network with no fallback on, then this handset won't support. Regarding battery performance. With 100% to 15% with heavy usage on EVDO and 3G network data on after 16hrs. Charging with normal 1A charger it took 6hrs from 10% to 96%, although Gionee original charger is 2A , IR blaster working perfectly with my LCD and DTH STB. Day light and artificial light camera performance is very good. Selfie camera OK. Although it's quad core processor, but some times lack while switching between apps with Ram of 3GB. Sounds is loud, distortion at 100%volume level, Really missing HTC boom sound dual front speaker. Touch screen is not feeling like feather touch. Improvement expected 1)slightly faster processor 2)smooth touch panel 3) faster charging Good things 1) unique feature of using G+C, or c+g or G+G 2) support all current LTE bands. 3) highest battery 6020mAh 4) IR blaster 5) box is included all accessories ,headset(which generally missing in other Chinese brand like Xiaomi), flipcover, screenguard . I have fairly conclude that this handset won't support REV B, when using RCDMA it latch to only Rev A. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
me_saket 73 Report post Posted December 24, 2015 is this handset DSDS or DSDA ? flex.. I have personally done test. One sim 1 . Incoming call was active. Made call to second sim, and it was ringing. When received second call, first call on hold. Then just swap button appear and both call were active. But note that When CDMA EVDO is on, other SIM shows only 2G, Edge network. Network preference option gets disabled, hence can't select 3g or 4G network Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted December 24, 2015 Is Gionee Marathon M5 VOLTE (Voice Over LTE) capable for use on Reliance Jio? seems it does not support VOLTE. Asked Gionee india and they have also confirmed that Marathon M5 does not support VOLTE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted December 24, 2015 If we want to use voice services of RJio [without falling back on disastrous RGsm] then only volte phones are needed. Current 4g phones are more than enough if we want to use data services of RJio, IMHO sent from my Lenovo Vibe P1 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
commonman 228 Report post Posted December 24, 2015 @me_saket what about performance with SIM 1 - 4G data and SIM 2 CDMA voice + sms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cooladitya007 41 Report post Posted December 24, 2015 LTE band support and VOLTE support are two different things. LTE band support means data is supported. For VOLTE two things needed, -Hardware support from mobile chipset -Feature enabled in software Gionee Marathon M5 has Mediatek MT6735 processor. No clarity whether it supports VOLTE. Can you check in settings whether anywhere Enable VOLTE or similar setting is showing? if i am not wrong none of mediatek processors support VOLTE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
me_saket 73 Report post Posted December 25, 2015 @me_saket what about performance with SIM 1 - 4G data and SIM 2 CDMA voice + sms Due to cheater airtel. I didn't got time for checking 4G data along with CDMA voice. But now new observation is When data or call are on sim1 on 4g/3g, and made calls to GSM in sim2 it is going to out of coverage . So this mobile works as DSDA when using C+G or G+C. But DSDS when using G+G. Hope this is helpful to u. Blank screen gesture are really exiting and Again 1 day battery back up with EvDo data on and heavy usage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jj788 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2016 3 days now since I got my M5. The battery lasted 2 days and 18 hours with moderate use. Never heated up. Quite smooth and fast. Reliance EVDO works very well. Charged fully in less than 4 hours... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitink 279 Report post Posted January 18, 2016 found a cool gesture feature in the M5 click on the hardware button for recent apps. Now shake ur phone and you will feel a vibration and all recent apps will be cleared. cool feature i must say apart from the above i like how everyday 4 new lock screen wallpapers get uploaded automatically. And when u use the phone, different lock screen wallpapers greet u every time. U can access this settings by long pressing on the lock screen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rohitgaur 78 Report post Posted January 30, 2016 Just got mine a couple of days ago, moved from Note 3, and I m impressed. Apart from the typical new phone jitters after using Samsung Epic, S2, S3, Note 2, Note 3 over many years here, the change is quite pleasant I used it for one day heavily with data, mails calls and I had 55% juice in the night...hmmm..Finger licking good. Concall works perfectly, which was a challenging project in Samsung series. inbuilt cleaner, battery saver, utility apps, has awesome themes, lets check back within 30 days to report back 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
