Sorin407, 08 Nov 2013Dear all,
I have purchased few days ago one Prestigio 4055... moreI understand your complaint totally. Also at the beginning I was disappointed, but after a few weeks everything come to its place. I thought that I had problems with the battery and I accepted and adapted to a slowness and inertia of the G sensor.
- Bluetooth working good - no problems so far, I’m using the phone 3 months
- G sensor is 2 way (2D G sensor), therefore is not precise (for some games it's a big problem)
- Battery needs calibration, charging it all to 100%, discharging to 0%, and charging to 100%, to get a better capacity.
Do not lean on the pointer of battery percent because is not so accurate.
My experience with battery life is:
Strange behavior consumption is not linear, sometimes battery consumption from 100% to 85% is very quickly (3-4 hours) even if you use the phone in standby, but sometimes holding quite long (10-15h).
My experience when I’m using the phone for calls or 3G data is that the battery is consumed quickly (for one hour usage) to 80% and then to 20% holding quite long, but sometimes from 20% to 5% can stand all day. I think that showing the percentage is not accurate. Also with charging is strange behavior from 15% to 100% should be charged for 2.5 to 3 hours and sometimes should be charged for 3.5 to 4 hours. When battery is completely flat charging is up to 5 hours.
For my needs and usage I am satisfied with battery live, however my impression is like the battery capacity is about 20-30% weaker (maybe the battery is not with the declared capacity or the phone is not so economical?)
After update (new Firmware 20130715.v1.0.22) there is an improvement and Fix battery capacity display issue.

Dear all,
I have purchased few days ago one Prestigio 4055 and returned it quickly (after three days of use), for the following reasons:
1. BLUETOOTH. The Bluetooth has been for two days only. On the third day it didn't want to connect to my Voyager Pro headset, under any circumstances. To be mentioned here that after the incident, I have checked the headset with other two phones and it was OK.
2. G-SENSOR. The rotation sensor was too slow. After I rotate the phone sometimes even it refused to rotate the screen. A hand shaking was required to awake the G-Sensor.
3. BATTERY. I have chosen this type of phone for the good commercial regarding the long life battery. It is not like that. Or the battery has no 2,500 mAh or the phone is not well designed in respect of consumption. In similar conditions (

Those who want a nice clock with weather on its Prestigio phone, may try some of the clock & weather applications from droid27.
If you are a fan of htc sense clock, try it this widget: Sense V2 Flip Clock and Weather. Almost identical to the original htc application, but offers much more customization. I use this application more than 3 months and it works great. The application uses much less RAM memory (5-6MB) and battery.
Google play Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droid27.sensev2flipclockweather
If you are a fan of Samsung S4 transparent clock, try it this widget: Transparent clock & weather. I tested and it works well on this phone, but unlike “Sense V2 Flip Clock & Weather” consumes more memory (about 11-25MB, sometimes up to 40MB) with Enableed optimizations.

Prestigio MultiPhone 4055 Duo user opinion and review:
Good side:
* Solid design and strong body (comfortable and well fits in hand, stylish with ribs back cover to protect sliding and sweating hand, plastic body does not creak under the fingers, and on touch not even look like cheap work)
* Dual SIM, dual standby,
* Good SIM Manager, easy and simple to operate,
* High capacity battery 2500 mAh,
* Good performance and system stability, Android Jelly Bean v4.1.1, (40 nm MK6577T dual-core processor 1.2 GHz),
* The screen is covered with protection glass, not plastic like some cheaper Xperia,
* Good headphones (strong, deep and quality sound),
* Outside on sun and good light 8 megapixel camera gives average images (for better images set in the camera settings: saturation and color to high, and for sharpness, brightness and hue set to middle),
* Reasonable price.
Bad side:
* Display viewing angles and low strength on strong sun, no automatic adjustment of display brightness,
* Not too much of customization choices available (no skins, themes, widgets are mostly native Google and it seems poorer than that of Samsung, HTC or Sony),
* For the 8 megapixel camera is not acceptable noise and low sensitivity to dim light and dark (weak flashlight effective only up to 0.5 meters)
* 2 way G sensor,
* Vibration could be a little stronger,
* Speaker volume during calls could be a little stronger and better,
One more thing:
Only Prestigio 4055 offers powerful battery of 2500 mAh,
The others Prestigo models:
Prestigio 5000 comes with battery of 2200mAh,
Prestigio 5300 comes with battery of 2100mAh,

AnonD-202071, 01 Nov 2013Hi. I've got some problem with my Prestigio 4055. It's new,... moreOne more thing....
I forgot to include the fact that you need to calibrate the battery, which includes charging it all the way up (100%), draining it all the way down (0%), and charging it all the way up.
Make several such cycles to get as comfortable as possible battery capacity. (Should be careful to prevent overheating during charging and discharging). After that charge the battery as you needs, but once on a month or two months make one full cycle (100% > 0% > 100%) to get a good battery capacity, i.e. to maintain capacity as high as possible.
Do not lean on the pointer of battery percent because is not so accurate.
Done update (new Firmware 20130715.v1.0.22) because there is an improvement and Fix battery capacity display issue.

AnonD-202071, 01 Nov 2013Hi. I've got some problem with my Prestigio 4055. It's new,... moreFirst turn off the 3G data, WI-FI, GPS, Bluetooth, Synchronization, etc.
Also check if an application consumes your energy, if you install an incompatible application can consume more CPU power (see running processes and battery consumption, see in: manage apps < running processes and see in: system settings < battery).
Another problematic may be one of the SIM cards to spend extra power. Had such a case in one of the phones in standby to spend extra power. Solution is (to replace) to try with another new SIM card.

If you use the phone only for voice calls, battery lasts quite long up to 5 days.
If you heavy use the phone (3G internet, camera, video, Wi-Fi, games) from 1 to max. 2 days, depending on the needs.(with constant uninterrupted usage might stand 5 to 6 hours)
I did tests and I used the phone only for voice calls on both SIM about 15-20 calls per day with a total duration from 45 minutes to 1 hour per day. Battery life was 5 full days.

In fact in Cyprus VAT is 18%. No VAT for non-european countries
For non European countries VAT of 18% is not charged, but I think that for Macedonia and Croatia you have to pay 18% VAT.
I do not know whether with or without VAT, but The Cheapest offer is in Russia and Ukraine - the price of the phone is from 115 euros. (with or without VAT ??) Also most offer is not currently available for sale.
