1. It has almost a month (!) Time until the automatic detection of battery charging level was reasonably accurate. Previously, the phone has stopped forever at 40% to 60% and if the battery was actually empty, simply assumed. So reload, and the whole game from the beginning. Towards the end I downloaded an extra battery-hungry game and run, so it is faster. Otherwise it would have taken even longer with Safety 6 weeks or.
2. The phone will boot unpredictable (ie unabhgängig of time, charge level, Gebrauchsart- or duration, ...) several times a week without any new type of communication, that you realize it only when you look at the display the next time , After the reboot, of course, have to be entered, the PINs of simcards. Until then, you can not be reached! For me, as a service technician that is unacceptable! "On / off according to a schedule" Incidentally, I have disabled it, there is not!
3. you are called, pulling the phone out of his pocket, is because the out-of-pocket-draw obviously is interpreted as over-the-screen-emphasize, refused in a majority of cases the interview here or accepted. Exclusively receiving calls would still okai, but rejected calls go, especially abroad, in the long run rather expensive. Not to mention the effect on the mood of the customers who are supposedly "pushed away".
4. During the phone call are offensichtich, opened all sorts of menus through contact with the ear or cheek and adjusted from time to time various things. Last is scheints a ringtone for incoming calls have been set in the near-by the menu structure, which is not in the menu - is to find that I actually almost always set "Audio Profiles> General".
5. The built-in flashlight can be without that the mobile phone must first be unlocked by means of the yellow buttons to switch to the side and off. In and of itself a beautiful thing. Unfortunately, the flashlight on so sometimes like in your pocket, and thus ensures that the battery is being sucked dry. That would also explain why the specified standby and talk time times are achieved not nearly even in the wildest dreams.
6. On the phone itself is in version 4.4.2 KitKat. There are for about 4 months with 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 two neurere versions, in the search for an update, however, is a "you are already up to date" reported. Apparently, on the part of CATs an update is not intended or desired. The face of the existing error absolutely incomprehensible and unacceptable!
7. From time to time, the screen content is increased or decreased when I made the appropriate zoom gesture with two fingers, while I have a finger on the touch screen to scroll. That's not a really bad mistake, but suggests that the touch screen is sensitive to ?!
The following quirks are probably unspeakable KitKat.
8. Sporadic freezes an app a while starting. Most it is enough to launch this app with Android System Info, and then restart. Occasionally, however, freezes the entire mobile and has to be started from scratch. The error has been known since the appearance of KitKat before almost a year and not corrected to date!
9. Apps can, since KitKat, save any more data on the SD card! This is the actual function of the SD card to increase the memory of the mobile phone by an external SD card, to absurdity. Incidentally, this is not an error but has been built intentionally - for whatever reason!
Finally I got after I described the support of CAT problems 2-5, first response that it "due to unforeseen circumstances ... presently [can] offer Unfortunately no German Customer Service". I wanted a bit puzzled send the request just once in English, suddenly there came an answer but - in German. Correspondingly is the content:
"When the device is in sleep mode, it should not be turned on itself. The adjustment by touching the phone you can only by a change of attitude to deal. The reboot is an error, I want to contact in order to return to the dealer."
This I will do in fact. I will look also for a new mobile phone, but a CAT is determined not to be there again! For lots of errors related materiel hassles and no support, I am definitely not willing to pay more than 300 Euo!

Supplement 11.05.2014
The many complaints of the buyers seem to have what effect. Recently, an update is available. More than 150 MB, it is great. Back from deployment abroad I have of course immediately downloaded and installed. For several days it is now running. What can I say?
What has improved:
+ The message "Please close all the rubber cover ...", which previously appeared always to the store, you can now disable.
What has not improved:
o On the above points 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, nothing has changed!
What has become worse (yet!):
- (To 2) Yesterday, the phone has rebooted. After I finished a telephone conversation. As I held it in my hand! I pressed the end call button -> reboot
- (10) From time to time it now takes several seconds until the display is actually concerned, if the purchase is pressed on / off switch.
- (11) There are a handful of links have been installed: CAT Rental, CAT used, CAT.com, CATphones, Part Store. Particularly piquant there on the side of CATphones to read: "Whatever your problem, whatever your query, one thing's for sure:. We'll sort it out"
Clearly, the time has been used in the development team of CAT NOT to fix the errors! I have downloaded more than 150 MB to get a handful of useless links and to disable the rubber lid message ?!
Conclusion:
The original 2 star rating I lower this to "use" on 0 stars. An absolute CATastrophe. Set, Six!
