If I add the numbers up correctly, the battery lasted over a day and a half despite constant and heavy use of a type that one would not normally do with a phone of this type. If so, that's outstanding!. 0
I'd say closer to 1 day (24 hour period) but I was hammering the phone, so I'd argue it was pretty good. It's probably pretty rare people are going to be filming 20 minute videos!
Hello, really enjoyed with your vedeos. I just got this phone, and I think my battery drains faster. Do you have any recommendations with that? Also, if I need to take your battery as a standard to know if mine is okay or not, the total screen on time you mentioned in this video is about 4 hours with some apps, can I use the same apps and see if the phone survive the exact same time? Last thing, there was an idea came to my mind, to buy another battery and just carry it with my full charged, and if the phone battery dead, I just need to switch to another one. The powerbanks is not preferred as the phone charging speed is very low also its way more heavy than the battery. And if you okay with this idea, do you know how can we get such a battery? Thanks in advace and sorry for all of these questions.
I just bought it, I wanted to go back to a flip phone, purely for nostalgic reasons and much less screen time on my phone, but I still wanted to have whatsapp and Spotify so I hope I like it 😅
Try and see if you can use a penny or other small coin to uncrew the cover. Looks like the screws that are meant to be unscrewed by pennies. If true the only tool you need is a penny. (or a fingernail.
Hi, given you're good with this phone I am hoping you can help out. I am having trouble getting the internet to work when using mobile data. However, wifi, calls, and texting seem to work. Any advice on how to trouble shoot this? My carrier is ATT and I am hoping to be able to use maps etc. when not connected to wifi. Thank you and great video!
To my knowledge, no one has made any accessories for the pogo pins on the cat s22. You'd need: A 3D printer, soldering iron, some old chargers laying around. Someone has created a mock up here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:6350507
Mine would drain far too quickly even after I hadn’t had it for very long. I searched for a while and found out that putting it into airplane mode and connecting it to WiFi really improves battery life. It lasts much longer that way. So I would highly recommend using it in that mode when you’re in a place where you can use WiFi. You just need to unselect airplane mode when you want to go back to data.
@@DumbphonesUK I have a lot of distraction with my smartphone. So I would like to switch my phone. All i need a map,music and WhatsApp. And 1 day full battery backup
I got it a couple days ago and I'm very disappointed.. It doesn't support external memory as it claims, I'm using a SanDisk 128g SD and it wouldn't let me use it, had to reset the phone with the SD in and now basically every app crashes
A cell phone like this wouldn't support a 128 GB SD card, that's a lot... It supports a maximum of 16 GB or 32 GB. Take the test, I think it will stop crashing
What are you trying to get out of your phone? If you want to use it less but have a phone capable of most smart phone features, yep. It’s a great phone.

Thanks v much! Will make a note of that!

1.18 a coin can be used as well
Thank you so much. I love that smartphone. My dad is going to buy one. Its battery life is impressive. Greetings from Ecuador EC 😊
Heya from UK! 👋 Thanks for the lovely comment!
You can switch on the battery % in the settings instead of going to the settings everytime you need to hack the battery
I actually had that on but decided to make it harder for myself for the video! 🤣
Does the adaptive brightness or normal brightness.. which of them drains quickly?
Hey! As always another great video. Can you do some sort of emulation on this device? It'll be dope if you make one. Thanks!!!
Heya - what sort of thing are you after? Let me know and I'll see what I can do!
@@DumbphonesUK sort of emulating some older gaming platforms like NES, SNES, N64, GBC, GBA, NDS, PS1, etc... thanks your the man!!
Yes please
@@DumbphonesUK just bought it, would also love a tutorial on how to install and tun it❤
Wow! 2008 is finally making a comeback!

That's a great shout, will try a penny!

Im unable to connect Wifi in this phone. I tried everything. Reset also but still unable to connect wifi.
Valuable info saved me from just wasting my money thanks mate i was also had an doubt on battery you explained it crystal clear 😊
No problem 👍
Please would you tell us about the Pogo pins on the back of the phone ? Is there a charging dock for this phone ?
To my knowledge, no one has made any accessories for the pogo pins on the cat s22. You'd need:
A 3D printer, soldering iron, some old chargers laying around.

How do you use the mobile hotspot and what's funny is I'm using this phone to

This is not praticql ,,, phones calls will stop ,,, no one wants to ban calls,
Ya but then you won't get calls in airplane mode
Can you do one with after market battery with greater capacity
Talk me through this a bit more? As in buy a bigger battery and then try that one?
is this possible ?
I've been planning to buy the phone but one thing i need to knw is about the software updates & does battery drains after update?
I'll get on to checking updates and then battery performance testing on Friday and will update you.
What uk network are you using this with i want one but i want to make sure it works on my sim first
I've tested with Three, Smarty and 02 and all worked perfectly.
@DumbphonesUK I keep hearing Vodafone isnt working for some people. If you could test the networks before I waste my money. It would be appreciated 🙏
@LongFinger021 mine wouldn't work with lebara which operates on vadaphones network so I don't think it'll work.
Good job.. can we have a charging test 0-100% and the time taken just for demonstration..
I'll add it to my list and get a video made for it! Thanks for the suggestion. 😀
Unfortunately, I can only find "renewed" cat s22 here in Canada.
That's why I am concerned that I might get one with a detective battery.
Oh no, could always buy a second battery just in case?
Total SOT???
Worth it?
Willing to buy one
What are you looking for your phone to do? Once we know that we can answer more fully!

It's okay
holding the phone like camcorder would look cool
did this phone support two sim card?
No, it only supports one sim.
@@DumbphonesUK ok thanks.

Try smaller card. I use 16 GB. I think 32 GB will also work
Sir is that good to buy ??? Please let me know

Total how many hours is coming battery life
Are you asking what is the total battery life? With no usage? Limited usage? Thanks.
@@DumbphonesUK limited usage
