Yes, the Emporia TOUCHsmart.2 can be muted. To activate silent mode, go to the settings menu, select "Sounds & Notifications" and then "Do Not Disturb". From there, you can customise your settings, such as allowing calls from certain contacts or activating notifications only for priority events.

To switch off the web browser on your device, there are no specific settings that allow you to do this directly. However, you can disable the internet connection by switching off the mobile data in the settings under "Network & Internet". For safety settings suitable for children, there are no specific functions that block the web browser. However, you could close the app by pressing the red button or closing the phone.

The Emporia TOUCHsmart.2 is a push-button mobile phone with 4G connectivity and Wi-Fi, which is basically internet-enabled. However, there is no official information on compatibility with the BVG app or similar public transport apps. According to the information available, the device supports WhatsApp, but the installation of other apps such as the BVG app is not directly planned. User reports suggest that installing apps via APK files may be technically possible, but this requires advanced knowledge and is not officially supported. For real-time timetable queries, you could use the BVG mobile website via the browser instead, provided you have a stable internet connection (4G/WLAN). The official BVG apps (e.g. "BVG Fahrinfo") are optimised for Android smartphones and do not run reliably on this type of device. If you have any further questions about app compatibility, I recommend contacting Emporia support directly or using the BVG website in your browser.

The device comes with WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram pre-installed. There is no option to install Signal instead of WhatsApp as the device does not support full app installation. However, Signal is already pre-installed so you can use it straight away.

The device supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but there is no specific information on whether it can act as a hotspot. As a rule, many mobile phones offer the option of creating a hotspot, but this must be explicitly confirmed. I'm not completely certain about this answer. The information I have does not fully address this situation. You could consult the official Emporia website or the user manual to make sure if this function is available.

It is not possible to use Spotify on the Emporia Touch Smart 2 directly, as the device does not support full app installation. However, there are ways to install apps such as Spotify Lite via the Aurora Store or by downloading APKs, but this requires some technical knowledge. Alternatively, you could convert Spotify songs to MP3 and transfer them to the device to listen to them offline.

whatsapp works, spotify is not on it and could not install it via apk until now

The issue you're experiencing with WhatsApp not working over mobile data but only on Wi-Fi is not typical for this device. The Emporia TOUCHsmart.2 supports 4G connectivity and should allow WhatsApp to function over mobile data if your network tariff includes data. To resolve this, ensure your mobile data is enabled and your network plan supports data usage. You might also want to check with your network provider to confirm that your plan includes mobile data and that there are no restrictions on using WhatsApp over mobile data. If the problem persists, consider contacting Emporia support for further assistance.

For an Emporia Touch Smart 2 mobile phone, you should order a battery compatible with the AK-V188 model. This battery is usually a Li-ion battery with a capacity of 1100 mAh, although some sources may offer alternatives with different capacities. Make sure that the battery you choose is designed for the Emporia Touch Smart 2. If you can't find the exact AK-V188 model, check that the battery you buy is compatible with your device and offers the same or better specifications.

I don't know, but in any case, I wouldn't recommend it. This phone sucks

The memory cards are usually already formatted. Copy the files to it on the PC, then insert the card in the appropriate place. Of course, data can also be copied via bluetooth

Yes

No, and definitely don't send it to you... I made this mistake and sent in my mum's mobile to replace the battery. They just sent a new mobile, without SIM back and without backup, the next day (after returning the new one) I called to get the old one back or at least the SIM card... they said it had already been disposed of and that there was nothing more to be done... My mum, 86, has lost all her contacts and photos through Galaxus 🤬

A query may be possible via the browser. The applications on Android 8.1go are limited to the pre-installed ones. There is also no real play store on this mobile.

I do not know that. However, I can tell you with certainty that the quality of this product is poor. This will be the 2nd time I have had to send my mum's phone in due to overheating.

Probably not. Anroid Go 8.1 is installed. This is a mini version of Android. I couldn't find the App Store. You can activate a version of Whats app. That was it.

No idea! Ordered the phone for a friend! He can't handle a smart phone!!!

According to the brand, yes, he has access to the internet and can use Whatsapp.
