You have it under Display tweaks/Brightness settings/Minimum brightness level. But you have to enable the first option in that menu first, then reboot your phone, and finaly set the minimum brightness level.

today there is some real info and even videos in youtube and it has no NFC

the sim slots are both normal sim, not one normal and the other mini

the memory comes with 6 gigs apps partition and 23 for internal sd

It's cool that iNew v3 has it, but it's probably the absolute last thing I look at when considering the worth of a phone. Though this is based on my current lifestyle. I could see it being handy for someone who's quite busy and needs quick app, function, mode switching from home to car to work etc...

And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

After long thought, I decide to buy iNew V3 - mainly because I like the phones looks - and specifications also suit me. Someone found a way to fit 2000mAh THL battery - link to post - I am planning to buy a thl battery and using it in the inew v3

I like the black color V3 - anyone knows shops which have black V3 in stock? Thanks.

I ordered a iNew V3 black also and received it last monday.
It's a beautiful phone. everything works well and fast. The only problem I am having is the Wifi in the livingroom is ok, but in my bedroom ( 5 meters from router) it's horrible.
I haven't rooted the phone and it is still on stock 1.0.8 firmware.
Camera is very well in good light conditions. You even can use it as a torch.

(2014-02-19, 15:50)oscar8u2 Wrote: 1. I was hoping the users of the V3 can give me some direction as to whether it's a good phone?

I've had the phone for about a month now and I absolutely love it, its always getting compliments. Its a very good phone, probably the best in its price range.

2. How are you liking the phone after using it?

As I said before I love it but the answer to this question will differ between other users due to their expectations. I came to the Inew V3 from a very low end model so this Inew with its quad core processor feels really different and fast however other users may be using high end models all the time thus comparing the Inew V3 to their phones and coming to a negative conclusion. It really depends what you're looking for in a phone, this is not a DSLR camera or a Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

3. Any software / hardware bugs? Is the stock ROM stable to use? What about call quality and reception?

I've heard of the date/time crash, random restart after using flip case and a couple more which really scared me at first but after my Inew arrived I realised that it had none of those problems. The only software problem for me is the given value of the percentage of battery, the battery discharges from 100% to 80% in about 10mins and from 80% to 10% it takes a day (for me), many users have said that the battery life is poor but once you start collecting some data on the battery life with apps you realise that in fact the battery is fine and is performing well its just the system showing you the percentage values is not accurate and does not truly represent the amount of battery life. I've had no hardware problems, the air gesture which was advertised with this phone is non existant, didn't really bother me though as I wanted NFC and OTG (which work).
The stock rom is stable but very ugly so I installed a launcher.
Call quality and reception are great, GPS on this phone is excellent.

4. how much battery life does it give realistically on a normal day?

I've sort of answered this above but on average I've been charging it once per day. The battery lasts me approximately 22hours with about 3-4hours screen on time. Gizbeat managed to get 5+hours screen on time and the rom which everyone is eagerly waiting for got 8+hours screen on time (rom is being developed by geekgirl). Some advice: don't look at battery percentage as a guide to the battery life it is very misleading best to download an app like GSAM Battery which shows you a breakdown of the battery usage and time its been used for.

5. Can we expect a 4.4 update for this phone?

I dont think so. There is a developer whose rom is based on the 4.4 kitkat, his name is smartdigi or something like that. Search it on google.

The touch screen function is very fragile or faulty. It stopped working, out of the blue, and it didn't even fall. The screen is neither cracked or scratched. Very disappointed
