Philips W536: Repair

As with any other smartphone, it may be failed for various reasons. Sometimes there is a need to reset the settings to the factory. How to do it on Philips W536? You need to do the following steps.

  1. Turn off the phone.
  2. Press the volume keys and turn on the phone simultaneously.
  3. Hold them until the recovery menu appears.
  4. When the menu appears on the screen, you need to release the keys.
  5. You need to navigate through the menu by pressing the volume keys, and you need to confirm the choice.
  6. Navigating over the menu, you need to select the data reset and installation of factory settings.
  7. When a question appears to delete all information, you need to confirm that you want to delete everything.
  8. Next you need to select the system reboot. The phone will reboot, and you will get it in that condition in which it purchased in the store.

Remember! You will lose all the data that was saved on the phone! Save important information before you delete everything. This can be done by copying everything you need to the memory card, on a computer or cloud.

Disassembling phone

Sometimes there is a question from the PHILIPS W536 user, how to disassemble the phone. In order to do this, you need to have special screwdrivers to work with mobile devices and a small shovel that a bank card can replace. Remove the back cover and take the battery, memory card and SIM card. On the phone body, you will see five bolts that need to be carefully unscrewed. Why neat? Because the mobile phone is a very gentle apparatus, and you need to handle it in repair very carefully. After unscrewed the bolts, you need to slip into the phone formed at the bottom of the phone or blade. Moving carefully card throughout the perimeter of the phone, you need to raise the central part of the phone. As it raises, you will hear weak clicks. Do everything very slowly, since with careless movement there is a danger to break the volume adjustment loop or some other wiring at the top of the phone. After you raised the released part of the phone, you will open the phone's motherboard. It is fixed for another five bolts: three bolts downstairs and two above. Unscrew all bolts. After that, carefully, we remove the holders from the loops that go on the screen and other sensors, and raise your motherboard. That's all. The phone is completely disassembled.

Possible problems

Sometimes the phone user may encounter the fact that Philips W536 does not turn on. What can be done in this case? The most elementary solution is to remove the battery from the phone. Wait a few seconds. Install it in place. Connect the phone to the charger and charge the phone until the indicator shows the full charge. Next, you need to disconnect the phone from the network and turn on.

What other problems are possible?

  • On the screen suddenly appears "blocked": someone tried to enter the phone menu without your permission, but did not enter the password (if the password is provided with the settings). You need to contact the operator of your network.
  • The phone does not want to go into the waiting mode. Disable the phone and check whether the battery and the SIM card are correctly installed. Then turn on again.
  • The phone does not react or reacts slowly to the commands asked. The problem may occur when the phone is reduced. Put the phone into a warm place and allow the time to warm to room temperature. The problem should disappear.
  • During charging. Most likely, the reason for this is the use of a non-original charger.
  • The phone does not see the SIM card. Disconnect the phone, open the back cover and check whether the SIM card is correct in the device.
  • The network connection icon is not displayed. You may be in a place not suitable for calling. Try to change the place, exit the open space or find a higher point.
  • It is impossible to save the image to the phone. This can occur if the file has either too large, or it has an inappropriate resolution.

A stylish brand in Philips colors contains everything you need to use the smartphone immediately after purchase. Surprised and pleased the presence of a protective film for the smartphone screen. I have already met this accessory several times complete with other devices, and I can say that this is definitely the right undertaking of manufacturers.

I can not not note that the device is packaged is solid and expensive, which is called - for all the money.

Very nice black case. Unexpected seems to be a red Cant, framing the front side of the device and speaker for voice communication. In fact, the Kant This is not just like this: complete to the smartphone we discover the replaceable rear panel. She is just red. If the Philips Xenium W536 is somewhat unexpected included with the black backdrop of Philips Xenium W536, then after installing the red backbone turns into something very acidic, but at the same time solid and completed. Later also will also appear with a white case.

The housing of the smartphone is high-quality, made quite reliably. The device looks impressive, felt in hand very solid. Its dimensions - 127.5 x 65 x 11.5 mm, but at the same time it does not look healthy and massive. A gloss of plastic can be attributed to the minuses, at the expense of which he "excellent" collects fingerprints.

Mechanical buttons on the housing I would call partially convenient. Especially puzzled the screen unlock key placed on the top face. This face is beveled from the back side to the facial, so you have to the index finger how to get off through the side and reach the button. This is not very convenient.

The audio jack is made on the upper face, the USB port is on the bottom face.

On the rear surface of the island of the camera with a flash and speaker for speakerphone.

After removing the cover, we detect two slots for SIM cards and a microSD memory card connector. The map is available for replacement without removing the battery, which pleases. But I can not say that the "hot" replacement is supported - I have a feeling that W536 simply did not notice the extraction and installation of the card.

Introduction

Now few people are trying to experiment with the design of phones up to 10,000 rubles. Everyone as one is similar to each other, and it is almost impossible to distinguish the models. By the way, and the inner filling of them, too, in general, the same: chipset from MediaTek, two slots for sim cards, 512 MB of RAM, and so on. Testing a huge number of similar devices, it came to the conclusion that at the moment I can note only two companies trying to somehow allocate their devices (from the point of view of the appearance) among the "gray" mass is Alcatel and Philips.

Part of the sections I will omit, because they are absolutely no different from those that I told earlier in other reviews.

Design, dimensions, control elements

The smartphone has the following dimensions - 127x65x11.5 mm, and weighs 141 grams. The shape of the housing is rectangular with slightly smoothed corners. The lower part is slightly thicker. The right, left and lower edges go to the back side at a low angle. The top is a bit shifted upwards also under a small angle relative to the front panel. On the front of the phone there is a thin plastic frame of bright red. It serves not only as a decorative element, but also protects the surface of the screen in case the W536 displays down.

Cant of black color is made of glossy plastic. Rear panel removable. Included there are two plastic covers: black (with "soft-touch" -proke) and red (semi-shallow). Both perfectly look in combination with a bright red frame and black edging.



Despite the fact that the covers are replaceable, "sit" they are on the body tightly: the backlash and the creak are missing. The back side is a little bent to the battery. With a strong compression in the hand, the device does not crunch. Materials generally practical: For a long time of operation (about a month), neither chips nor scratchs appear on the housing. Since the screen matrix is \u200b\u200bprotected by plastic, it is advisable to stick the film - it comes in the kit.

The smartphone lies well in hand thanks to high-end edges, ergonomic design and comfortable weight. For the w536 shirt pocket, they are somewhat large, but easily fit in pockets of a jacket or jeans.


PHILIPS W536 contains two sensors: approximation and lighting. The first reacts very quickly, and during the "Yuzanya" device of false discontinuations of the screen lock at the time of the call was not observed. The second sensor correctly and smoothly adjusts the backlight brightness level. There are no complaints too. Next to them - the front camera intended for video calls.


Speech speaker loud, the interlocutor is heard clearly and picking up, the timbre is pleasant: the low, and the average frequencies are well auditioned. At maximum volume, it does not scroll and does not rattle.


The display is the touch buttons: "Back", "Home" and "Menu". They are applied by white translucent paint and have a pretty bright backlight.




In the lower end there are microusb and a microphone, on the top - standard 3.5 mm audio output for headphones and thin, almost recessed into the case, the device on / off the device. On the right face there is a thin long volume keypad adjustment. Fucking with his fingers, since it is slightly towers over the case.



Chamber eye and flash - on the back of the smartphone. They are framed by chrome plastic. The module is not towers above the case. At the bottom right - the slot where the speaker is.


To remove the panel, it must be hurry for the recess from the right. Simkards are located above the battery, but for their installation it will have to be removed. Slot under the microSD memory card - on the left above. Supported "hot" replacement.


Philips W536 and ZTE V889M

Display

To date, the device has an average of 4 inches on the size (53x88 mm), the aspect ratio is 16:10. The resolution of 480x800 points is standard minimum for most young smartphones. Matrix display is ordinary - TFT-LCD. It is capable of displaying 16 million colors. The sensor is made by capacitive technology and supports multi-touch to 3 simultaneous touch.

The sensitivity of the sensory layer is high, and during testing W536 there was no problems noted.

Viewing angles Average: when tilting on yourself, to the left or right - the brightness and contrast drops slightly; If we tilt from yourself - colors are sharply inverted. However, in general, the picture on the screen looks a clear, juicy and rather bright, but loses in quality, for example, Alcatel OT-993D, ZTE V889M and, naturally, TeXet TM-4504, Fly IQ442 / 441.

Brightness is adjustable in a small range. At the maximum, it is comfortable to use the phone in normal lighting conditions, but the display is faded. The minimum brightness would like a little less, for example, to read books at night the screen is still notching.

The device has a three-axis accelerometer (BMA222), lighting and approximation sensors (TMD2771).

Battery

Unfortunately, Philips W536 is not included in the line of Xenium long-playing phones, so you should not wait for a steep autonomy from it - the time of work is exactly as in any Android smartphone. The W536 uses a removable lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery with a capacity of 1630 mAh, 3.7 V, 6 VTC. Type - AB1630DWMC.

The manufacturer declares that the phone in standby mode should work up to 407 hours, and in a conversation mode - up to 11 hours.

With a load of 20-30 minutes of conversations per day, about 2 hours of listening to music, 3-4 hours of 3G-Internet - the battery was discharged for 8-9 hours. Only when playing music, the battery "holds" a little less than 35 hours, only when viewing the video (maximum brightness, maximum volume in headphones, resolution 800x480) - 4 hours 20 minutes.

From a USB or network adapter, the PHILIPS W536 battery is charged approximately 3.5 hours.

Communication capabilities

The phone works in cellular networks 2G (GSM / GPRS / EDGE, 850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and 3G (900/2100 MHz) - HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, HSUPA 5.76 Mbps. In this case, one SIM card operates only in 2G, the other is 2G or in 3G. If mobile Internet is used, traffic is limited in the settings - a special "chip" Android 4.0. In the SIM Card Management Settings section, SIMIC is set, their color, data transmission.

SAR level

In stock Bluetooth version 4.0 (EDR / A2DP) for file transfer and speech. There is a Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 B / G / N wireless. The device, of course, can be involved as an access point (Wi-Fi Hotspot) or modem. In the settings, this item is as "modem and access point". There is a Wi-Fi Direct.

USB 2.0 (High-Speed) is used to transfer files and synchronize data.

There were no problems with the connection, the sensitivity of Wi-Fi is high: for example, at a distance of 5 meters (behind the wall) from the router W536 confidently showed 1-2 "sticks" from 4. During testing, there were no disclications of communication or glitches with network disappearance.

Memory and memory card

The smartphone is equipped with 512 MB of RAM - it's a bit, but for most purposes enough. The system is quite well optimized, since about 200 MB of RAM is available. Usually in such devices it is not more than 150-170 MB.

Despite the fact that the specification shows the volume of Flash memory - 4 GB, a little more than 2.5 GB is available. Expands the installation of a microSD card, the maximum volume of which can be 32 GB. About 900 MB allocated to install games and applications.

Camera

The device was provided with two modules of the chambers: the main one is 5 meters, front - by 0.3 mp. There is a single-section LED flash. Maximum photo resolution - 2560x1920 pixels, video - 1280x720 pixels at 30 frames per second.

The quality of the photos obtained from the Philips W536 is exactly as in most smartphones up to 10,000 rubles in the Taiwanese MediaTek chipset: a narrow dynamic range, low sharpness, "flyers" of white balance, spoiling the operation of HDR mode and so on. With the video about the same: there is autofocus, but the sound quality leaves much to be desired.

Skype is working fine.

Settings are familiar to Android 4.0.x.

The Philips W536 smartphone operates at the Taiwanese MediaTek MTK6577 chipset, and the Arm Cortex-A9 processor (ArmV7) has two kernels with a clock frequency of each 1 GHz. For the graphic part, unfortunately, the PowerVR SGX 531 accelerator is responsible to Imagination Technologies.

Comments about performance You can read in any kind of "Chinese" phones:

"If we talk about the speed of work, it seemed to me that it did not change relative to the same MTK, even despite the fact that in the benchmarks this chipset shows more" parrots ". Android is very difficult to check performance, as it can be done only on toys. However, we all know that much in the OS depends not only from the "iron", but also from the optimization of applications. For example, the game Nova 3 on Fly Radiance is scary inhibits, but more or less normally goes on some smartphones with one nucleus. "

Nevertheless, I bring a brief technical information about the "hardware" Philips W536 and some data of popular benchmarks:

QUADRANT STANDART.

Antutu Benchmark.


Software platform

Google Android version 4.0.4 is as operating system. Version of the core - 3.0.13. Updates to 4.1 are not planned, so all hope for programmers and their custom firmware.

Shell - "naked" Android 4.0. Below are screenshots.

Multimedia

Music player. Standard music player, familiar to everyone on "naked" Android 4.0. Equalizer presets: normal, classic, dance, flat, folk, haw and metal and so on. The "own" five-band equalizer from 60 Hz to 14 kHz is configured. There are two sliders - reinforcement of low frequencies and a 3D effect.

Sound quality in headphones is excellent! Volume in headphones high. It makes no sense to describe the sound in more detail: it sounds on MTK chipsets equally well.

Below are general results in the RMAA and Ahh program.

The volume of the call dynamics is higher than the average. If Xenium W536 put the back side down, the speaker is not closed, so the volume does not fall. If it is completely closed - the volume will decrease by 90%, i.e. Almost nothing can hear.

FM radio. The receiver works at frequencies of 87.5 - 107.8 MHz. RDS is supported, the ether is written in 3GPP format.



Conclusion

I repeat once again that part of the sections I did not describe in view of what they can "wrap up" from the review in the review, since such smartphones do not differ from each other.

Philips Quality Quality W536 did not cause complaints: the signal level is not bad even in difficult reception conditions. The vibrating alert has middle power and not only in the inner pockets.

The main chip of this apparatus is design. It is unlikely that someone will argue that "Filipok" looks brighter than the other "Chinese phones". At the moment, its cost is about 8,000. For this money, you can take, for example, Fly IQ442 - its distinctive features - the price (about 7,000 rubles) and the IPS matrix; ZTE V889M is an analogue of IQ442 only with a conventional TN matrix; Stylish and cute Alcatel OT-992D is an analogue of Philips W536 - only thinner, lighter, covered with a special nanotection that protects the body from water splashes, plus everything, it costs 7,500 rubles.
