Have you tried a 'fixed' charger like a Samsung one? It's what I use with the G4.

Fixed charger works but would like the supplied one to work as well if I can figure it out.

Did you use the two pin one supplied or a 3 pin one?

Me neither m8,
but the camera at night, did really disappoint me,but as its more a problem of the flash not syncing at the same time the picture is taken,it could possibly be fixed in a software update

That is a let down alright, would be great to get it sorted as it is the only fault really.

You can temporarily make it a bit better by changing the iso to 1600

just picked it up, gonna take time to get used to the size. Also recieved a completely white one, when i ordered a black faced one, but thats only a minor nikle.

it does get very warm when charging. just about to put the Rom on it now, already sick of the chinese ****e on it.

dahat · 10-01-2014 11:08pm

I just deleted the Chinese stuff especially that Bindu app, right confusing!

RossieMan · 10-01-2014 11:16pm

ROM currently installing.

Then gravitybox and i'm all set. Very quick and responsive for my 2 minutes of use so far.

Been getting this little pop up message saying "restricted access changed" then my neo n003 will drop out of coverage for a little while. Any of you lads came across this before?

Did you have any luck sorting this issue out ? I have the same problem , I was able to stop the coverage dropping out by selecting the GSM only option in the network mode settings , only problem is that now i don't have any 3G coverage . the problem seems to be linked to the data connection because when i switch to WCDMA only ,I get the same error message every time.
WIFI is working ok.

I installed the Margarto rom(thanks Rock paper scissors) but that didn't make any difference,
Google told me to put some sellotape on the back of my sim card to get a better connection - that didn't help,
I tried a different sim card and the same errors were popping up.

Any ideas how to get the data working ?

Tried to make a video call there and my phone is out of 3g coverage so same problem here or a similar problem.

Not had this yet. Do you have the Sim in the proper side? As far I understand one side supports 3G, the other doesn't.

Which is which? Sim 1 is the one I use for my O2 plan.

MichaelOBrien · 13-01-2014 9:29pm

Sim 2 only gives an option for GSM, and SIM 1 has both GSM and WCDMA(3G) options.

Using SIM 1 and meeting some issues, could it be an O2 problem?

Smashed the screen on my neo

The fall that broke it wasn't too bad either and I had the smart flip case on it so be careful lads

Sorry to hear that mate

You gonna get it repaired?

Well I bought the phone for its screen so I'd like to fix it just haven't gotten a chance to look up my options. I have a second white neo smart flip case and a second screen protector here if anyone is using their phone without them you can have them for free. After seeing how easily mine cracked I'd be doing everything I could to protect the screen if I was you guys

I'll take the white smart flip top case if that's OK mate.

Let me know and I'll send you my details

Cheers
