    Received an UMI zero yesterday, beautiful phone, corning glass3 on both sides around an aluminum body, 32000 on antutu. very impressed.

    Best of luck with it! But if there's too much metal covering the phone the radio modules (gsm, wifi) are going to be affected. Did you notice anything?

    Just to confirm,if I buy from a Europe warehouse there are no taxes due,or is there still a risk that customs will be due on a phone?

    its very easy to flash google apps. but I'd get a refund, better value phones out there.

    I was looking at the A806 earlier. Seems like great specs and a 4G phone at that price is not easy to come by. Elephone 6000 maybe?

    What's the issue with 4g, is it not available at all, or an available option that's not picking up the correct bands...

    Strange. Mine was also the 19th. Only showed as pre-adviced on the 30th but was in holland on the 2nd and the UK on the 5th. Shouldn't surely make a difference that mine is going to parcel motel in the uk as they both have to go through holland initially.

    Hope you get yours soon. I guess i'll know by tomorrow if i'm going to get stung with customs but the fact that it says it has been processed in the country of destination is very positive.

    Mine was shipped according to Gearbest on 18/12, but has been showing as preadvised on postnl.post since 22/12. I'll send Gearbest a message through the site later asking wtf.

    I have my Xiaomi MI3 up on Adverts if anyone is looking for a new phone.
    It only had a few weeks use before I bought a new one.

    It came from their EU warehouse. A bargain with No customs charges or shipping costs :)

    I need to pay for my new Zopo Zp999.

    Be grateful if someone could offer some advice on this: my redmi 1s is driving me demented. Google Keyboard refuses to stay open. It might work fine one minute, not open the next, or continually crash. I'm losing my mind here.
    Looking at the app settings I can see it is constantly restarting, but I don't know what is constantly killing it. Grrrrr.
    My phone isn't rooted or anything. Yet.

    Hi all, i was thinking of getting the Cubot X9, i owned a X6 i really liked that phone but it got smashed at the weekend and not worth the money to fix, so i have come accross this site (mixeshop) where there are selling them for €120 seems a bit cheap but might just go for it tomorrow, has anyone got any feedback from using that site or even better still has anyone used a X9, its an iphone 6 rip, and has an octa core processor 1.4Mhz with 2GB ram Android 4.4.4 kitkat, cant be beat for that that price surely ?

    Thanks

    Jason

    What rom are you using?

    I had this problem when I had the etotalk rom installed - I went back and installed the miui v5 and had no problems afterwards.

    Short term fix - go into settings-apps-googlekeyboard-clear data and cache.

    Good to hear. You can join me in the game of customs roulette.

    I'm getting a bit concerned now. No update since Monday and in my recent experience with royal mail they are very efficient. If there is no update by this evening i have to assume it's been caught and then the fun and games with parcel motel will start.

    I have the same status on mine now as well, as of 21.45 last night. Feel sorry for bugging poor auld Rose in Gearbest now!
