    Hi there!!!
    Thanks for the Post… It indeed was helpful. I just purchased one of it and it was exactly as specified even though I paid more than was expected because I was already in love with it but then I was disappointed at something quick I don’t know if just move or that’s how it is generally…. I can’t split screen on it despite the fact that it’s Android 9, just which to know why because lesser versions can. Please wouldn’t mind an answer.
    Thanks

  11. michael says:

    Please i have this Itel s15, once its night, my internet will off once the backlight is off. so i have to keep my backlight on even when am using the hotspot on my laptop, anyone has solution to this please. how can i keep the internet on while the backlight is off at night.

    • Hi…You should check your power management settings carefully. It looks like you have a battery optimization app installed that tends to optimize your battery at night times, thereby turning off some connection radio in order to save power. so check, there must be something related to the two above.

  12. Gabby says:

    • Jamiu Abiodun says:

    Pls, My MTN is not browsing on my itel s15. It says my phone doesn’t support automatic configuration when a configuration message was sent. Although I am browsing perfectly with my Airtel line. Pls is the phone selective? And what can I do to solve this problem.

    • Alli Arazim says:

      You’ll have to do the settings yourself, this is because, MTN didn’t authorize it on all phones to be configured automatically. I faced similar problem but now understand the MTN system of network configuration.

  23. Tunde says:

    Am unable to set the face ID of my itel s15 and that is because the the scanner is not scanning when am facing the camera.

  29. Nuna says:

    My Itel s15 is suddenly slow after 5weeks and I don’t even have that many apps installed. What can I do about that pls. My 1GB RAM is almost full. what can I do to free up space. I have uninstalled alot of my apps and i have deleted pics and videos too but still. What do I do pls

    • Well, you may try a full factory reset. But mind you, 1GB RAM is not much, there just a single app that could eat it all. So even if you uninstall a couple of other apps, if that singular RAM consuming app/game is not uninstalled, the phone could still remain slow. You can try to monitor the amount of RAM each of your current app is using from Setting >> Apps. Then try removing the one that uses the most RAM (only if it is removable). Do this with caution though and at your own risk.

    • Duncan says:

      Use phone Master to delete junk files
