Customer Review

Why I give two star for the unit has not to do with the hardware of S4 Mini Duo but with the software of Samsung and Android General. It can not be that the manufacturer still contained much error and not sophisticated software offering. Only it applies to my review. Please do not therefore jump up and give not use comments. I have taken the time for those who like me want to read critical aspects of the device and then decide to buy. For those who feel the device is one of this review here is not, you can cancel this immediately and get rid of your comments where different. Because the software is supplied with the unit and it can not be changed, moreover it does not measure product as Android or Samsung software to purchase gives this point must be mentioned here.

I have the equipment (is today 15/04/2014) (purchased again only bought here on Amazon via MarketPlace in a crook of the UK (which is another chapter, I have already lost), sent back immediately and Notebooksbilliger.de for a week ) and have been tested already for my needs as much as possible. I have to say it over iPhone 4S clearly dominates and in very many ways. If I had to give criticism for my iPhone 4S, the criticism would be a lot more points than what I've found over S4 Mini duo.

The iPhone 4S I had already resigned myself well, but as I am on business travel abroad a lot, it was only a matter of time when I switch cards to a smartphone with two SIM. All other smart phones with two SIM cards have not been able to convince me, I must say that I have not tested them but simply have read here on Amazon and so decided the valuable reviews.

Moving from iPhone to Samsung was the tool SmartSwitch (without the installation work) for Windows from a Samsung Super easy thing, I must specially mention because I had read that anywhere! All contacts, calendar entries, messages, notes, voice memos, photos, videos and music files were taken over iPhone backup from iTunes.

The features in Android are similar to that of IOS, menu navigation is just different. But what I miss in Android, the general search like IOS, so it was easy to find the apps that were somewhere but could not be found and everything else. What still bothers is that are the apps once in menu, and that are linked also on the main screen, but you can also copy dozens of times in the main window and do not complains that it has already been copied once, it's like Windows shortcut manufacture.

Yesterday (14.04.2014) I had in a mail attachment to read a PDF file, of course, I have to click on it to be able to read it. It then went a window with "Polaris Office Viewer" has to be downloaded, I said ok do it, then I arrived in Samsung App Store and had to Log, of course I had to date no account with Samsung created, so I said mach on one account, all the data I have entered in German and also the terms and conditions were in German (why I mention it comes right), the process I finished quite normal and was hoping now I can download it and like to see the PDF , It Stand "You can now store limited use but must verify their email address within 30 days", although it did not go further without verify, so my German email mailbox checked whether what has arrived, lo and behold, there is a mail come from Samsung, clicked strikes me first and wondered what that is now. It was in Cyrillic letters that are from Samsung so smart (!) That you think everyone is in the country where he currently is speak the language and can read the writing of the country also, because I was in Russia, so it came in with the Russian Cyrillic alphabet. As usual, the first line is for activating the account, so it clicked, then came to a window and had again what click (was no other option available). Again clicked So again back to email and to PDF, back to Samsung App Store and wanted to "Polaris Office Viewer" download, while I wondered why it was ever 50 vote, although it is related to Samsung Yes, first the opinions of Read the users, of course, everything was in Cyrillic and the user had several given ratings of 1 star to 5 stars. Finally, I downloaded it and read the PDF attachment. Of course I was upset with Cyrillic letters and Russian at Samsung App Store and have Samsung hotline in Germany called (via Skype with Flat telephony, has approximately 60 countries landlines), who of course a 01806-SAMSUNG number costs money: (( was entered, the number in 0180 App of teltarif and already comes a number with 0800 SAMSUNG works equally and are not :-)) costs The Samsung staff on the phone friendly but stubborn in what he said, for it was all plain sailing I'm in Russia so I have to be Russian :-)) heee? there is no other way in the country to offer different, who said to the German Samsung AppStore arrive I was with my German card SIM to the Internet and then try downloading again. I think the spider completely at Samsung, I'm at the hotel via Wi-Fi to the Internet, as was sunning whatsoever with iPhone also. To my comment that there was no problem with the AppStore and is, he did not want to hear it, saying they are here with SAMSUNG and not with another provider :-)) I said yes, I know, I have an Android smartphone in which the features of the Google indeed function you without any problems, why it does not work with you? It's still the same phone which I'm going in to the Google Play Store. Who has perhaps repeated 5 times it when Samsung so (esp ***: - ((**) is solved, then I asked him to please take my concerns and pass them on to the superiors, which he reportedly did then When I asked them if I also get the notification of this desire has been handed down from me as usual on Amazon you get indeed a mail and to assess the conversation, I had to settle for a simple answer "why should I lie to you?". Apparently Samsung takes the customer satisfaction with not too seriously!

Another problem is the number of received e-mails in Mail settings I also first long struggled until it worked reasonably, I still do not attempt it with the automatic (cyclic) synchronize my accounts are in German suppliers, with Google I had necessarily to create an account, so I can use Play Store Google. Once an email is created account under Settings => Accounts> number to be loaded emails => Email => Settings => Account => Weit.Einst. = Set to Minimum = 25 and I wondered Why do not I get the remaining e-mails from the server, now it is set to total and realize the maximum of 2,000 e-mails can be loaded, is likely to be limited by Android. In my 2 email accounts (private & business) I'm still not together in an entire year: - ((There is indeed, more than a year, so I have first the garbage emails delete thus space for important emails is created. I think that's a shame, because I was not used by iPhone to have to do something, even though I do not know even if I will receive all important mails at all, probably I have to sort and delete between important and less important again. The'm already on his nerves because I rumkämpfe with emails for 2 days.

A problem with the sync email is that with the unread message, you can not see from the Inbox where the unread e-mail is in the IOS point is bold and deposited with the number unread mails, is in the Android number of mails that have arrived on the date: - ((and just a hint as paying the unread somewhere in the e-mail message is.

Problem is also the Android or Samsung, it will download the date her confusion to find the unread mails I need from start to finish quickly scroll down so I find it: - ((

Another problem is that with the synchronization of e-mails from Gmail accounts not. If you Google email account set up as a mail account, the mail is downloaded immediately into the smartphone. I have my accounts with German suppliers and still do not know how I manage to synchronize the with the automatic. I have already tested many settings in the mail settings and still not come so far to your destination. On the Internet I read the sync all their phones with Google, which I feel for many years and from the outset too far, so I refuse to have my private information to give to strangers, to have the NSA Amis.

Another problem is that the tethering via Wi-Fi if you will turn on tethering via Wi-Fi automatically turns off the reception of WLAN. In iOS, it is not so, there you can simultaneously receive and transmit wireless router so as a kind of function. This is unfortunately not for Android, it's either or function in it, can not have both at the same time. The function is already helpful when one is himself closer to the wireless receiver and the source mate further away but to you is closer than the wireless source. So it's really between WLAN and the colleagues in the real world. Since offers to the router function very well that there were unfortunately not at Android: - ((

So much negative about Samsung with Android should be enough the positive things that colleagues have already made with 5 stars rating. I must not have to mention here.

My conclusion, S4 Mini Duos Dual SIM is the best smartphone currently on the market, with still a lot of room for improvement at the software side (mainly Android), since hardware is already top class.

Addendum: the problem with the synchronization of emails
Now I know how it Synchronizes :-)) All settings which I had made were ok, but the whole does not work at once is not activated in status bar for quick settings Sync. You have to first know the Sync Auto Sync email accounts prevented because it is deactivated in factory setting. That's what I found when reading from the normal manual S4 Mini. It is Sync: Enable automatic synchronization of applications / disable.

For problem number of received e-mails and Date
Android Stop the mail reception first on reaching the total of 2000 when is created space it goes back further to a maximum of 1 year ago then it stays there, even if not 2000 mails are full. Since I'm still fighting as I still hinkriege, I hope there is a solution in the Internet for evil. When I'm in the special mail account in the event business email address (ie not combined inbox) and the scrolling move on high I see the attempt to pick up further, it is news to load 0/845 but does nothing happen :-( (or is in the private messaging load 0/496 doing exactly nothing: - ((.

Addendum dated 07:06:14
Akku: 00-18: The battery in normal use, just as a half day 08 holds 00 clock although all were energy guzzlers off (Wifi, GPS, get mail every 2 hours), which find very weak. Even if it is used almost not then remain approximately 60% of battery power at 18:00 clock yet. I have cards from T-Mobile and O2, the coverage of the two providers are in the hall where I spend my day very well. I now have me as a stopgap Mobile power of Cartrend (Item No.: 80258) bought for charging on the go, who allegedly 2600mAh capacity. So my day is saved without going to the wall socket.

Internet: Internet can be used with two SIM cards without the SIM card to switch places. For this you have under Settings => My Device => SIM Card Management => data service network => respective SIM choose, there is a message updates network disconnect with Yes, then comes the network mode is .... confirm on GSM / yes. The way this works only with selected GSM network type for both networks, but if it previously with the one used Internet map and now want to switch to the other card, then you have to manually change the network type Unfortunately for both SIM cards, though tried device is in the first step to carry out but aborts with an error message that can only use one card 3G network. = = Select manually you have in Settings => Connections => More Preferences => Mobile networks => previous Internet SIM => Network mode => select GSM, then up the tab for current Internet SIM> Network mode> GSM / WCDMA (connect automatically) ,

Telefonie: You have selected a card as a standard for phone calls, the numbers can no longer call the other card is in the phone book. One can at the problem will help three, either you copied the number and inserts it in the number field again, there you have the possibility to be called over which SIM or before the standard map to another provider change or under Settings => My Device => SIM Card Management => voice call and video call on => Always ask to switch. The latter makes things a lot easier.
