Hi guys!

Thank god I found this thread. I've been searching extra infos before buying the phone. From what I know, yes there are 2 versions of it. Both versions has LTE mode, but the 1st model (A808T) does not support Malaysian 3G (WCDMA), only meant for China's 3G network (TD-SCDMA). Do NOT buy that model or else you'll stuck with 2G network when there is no 4G around. The A806, 2nd model, is meant for international market rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

A806 support both Malaysian 3G and 4G




Beware, there are sellers out there selling the A808T, I've been to 3 shops, they wont let me test my LTE simcard. Hehehe thank god I saw sitescope's post. Went to I-Distribution in Low Yat Plaza.

2 ways to know which one is A806

1. Look at the back, you can see spec, WCDMA written there.

2. Want to double confirm? Sumbat your LTE simcard. Normal sim size, no need to cut to mini or micro.

If they refused, dont buy!


The salesperson, Sam, is super friendly. He said can try and everything. Call him up if you wanna get one.

Final words, trusted seller or not, check the network using your own sim!

Bro the A806 WCDMA by China Unicom it 4G only support part of Maxis and Celcom in 1800 mhz,if U Mobile,Digi and some area which Celcom and Maxis run on 2600mhz then connot get 4G. For A808T only can make voice call and 2G data but totally cannot use data in 3G or4G!

Yea true but at least the 3G is working. Hahaha ok la jgk. But as for A808T, i have no clue, never tested the unit or check which band they support.

Hahahah I cant confirm yet on the batt statistic, but thats the best thing about android, u can customize it any way u want. Since its already rooted, I can use many advanced apps to minimize batt usage or prolong it so to speak. Greenify rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Hi guys

I wanna share 3 fix for A806.

1. Names not coming up for calls or sms

Go to Concatcs > Tap on menu > More features and settings > More display options > Matching digit numbers > 7

Set that and names will match for both calls and sms.

2. Chinese character under contacts for calls and sms

Go to Concatcs > Tap on menu > More features and settings > More display options > Location > Untick/untap those 2 options

No more Chinese character kohkoh

3. Ussd is cut half (cannot see full)

Download this file and flash it using twrp or cwm.

Make sure your hp is rooted. Download flashify from playstore. And flash the ussd fix zip using flashify.

Anyway I went to the onegadget the next day after I bought the phone. Right when I hand it over to the technician (he even not check it yet), he said "software problem?". I was like wtf is every A806 sold on this store has that notification error? Then he flashed that phone to standard factory ROM using TWRP. After that there is no spelling error or bad english translation except that ussd bug and chinese character (Player Tutorial app lol). My advise to people who want to get this phone, right after you buy it pls take it to the service center and get it flashed
