My disabled daughter has the Avant and has nothing but problems. Drops calls, but biggest problem right now is battery gets extremely hot!!! T Mobile will do nothing but exchange the phone or send a new battery. Anyone else have this problem?

Worst phone ever!! It does what "It" wants. Touch Wiz, I don't care for. It was meant for Advanced users. I was hacked immediately. Mine has the Gear Manager in it, which I do not have, so it locks me out, erases my data, and changes all settings.

Jess, 29 Apr 2015I really don't know why all these people are complaining. &... moreI agree with Jess, Im an old fart and this is my first smartphone . Im still learning how to use it but everything Ive done with this phone works perfectly. I admit Im not that tech savvy and my daughter trains me on all the amazing functions. Its fun. I cant complain about anything as far as the performance of this phone.

This phone sucks ass.

My friend and myself got to different phones at one time.
He got an LG phone and I got the Avant, almost immediately I noticed that his flash (flash light) was brighter, also the speaker for music (or speaker phone) was very quiet compared to his LG. I had to download a "speak to text" program for the keyboard. The signal SUCKSSSSSSSSSS, I am barely on the internet or FB because it's always "Loading" or will not connect because of lack of signal, while my buddy's phone is blasting youtube. WTF??? This phone is awful. If T Mobile uses this phone for "prepaid" and it's metro's "top notch" phone, I think maybe there might be a problem there. JS.

I purchased the Avant on the recommendation of T Mobile as a phone that will switch to Wi Fi when available and cell service is not.

Don't believe it! You can make outgoing calls with the WiFi connection, but 95% of the time incoming calls are directed directly to voice mail.

Finally after many calls, T Mobile admitted that they have known of this issue with the Avant since the fall of 2014, have no fix for it, and have no idea if or when they will.

So be warned, don't buy the Avant if you intend to get incoming calls over Wi Fi. It doesn't work

I have nothing but a headache when I purchased this(now 4th return)phone. I had returned 2 on buyers remorse because it would not allow me to hear calls made to anyone outside of my area code, they would have to call me back as soon as I would call them, I could hear the ringtone they pick up...nothing they cannot hear me or me them, they call back and then we can talk. It has now been 4 phones from T-Mobile and they are still trying to find out what the cause is. I called Samsung directly, I was told well they did not put too much technology into this phone, so if I have apps running in the background it could cause issues. So basically this is a phone for someone who only wants a phone and not to use internet or apps(which we are paying service for smart phone usage from the company)and I am waiting to see if they are going to make me turn in this phone again under warranty which will be the 5th phone before they offer me another option. I have never been so unsatisfied with a phone in all my life. I guess the saying is true, you get what you pay for.

The screen resolution is the typical mid grade android phone and is a pretty sharp resolution. This phone is fast and if these people don't like the auto correct then get SwiftKey. This is an android we are talking about. These phones are there For customization. Honestly if you don't have the money to dish out for the newest Galaxy S model then this is the way to go. This thing rivals the s4 I'm every way except screen resolution and camera resolution. But you can't say it's crap because you're not paying much for it in the first place. You get what you pay for and for this phone it's well worth every penny. I have had no problems with video playback Netflix Internet anything. I use it for chromecast, I use it for Spotify, etc. I've played games on it with no lag. I'm even using the metro pcs version. I'm pretty sure these people either got a bad pick out of a batch of don't know what they are talking about. Not to mention people expect unicorns for pennies now a days and complain if their purchase doesn't exceed standards.

I think it's a great phone. The screen resolution is pretty good and the phone can be tweaked to go ultra fast. It also supports T-Mobile's new band 12 which allows for better reception. The flaws include a bad camera and less features than the better Samsung Galaxy phones. Overall, a fine phone.
