Has anyone got their Ulefone Future yet?

I'm waiting for mine from TomTop but although I got a PayPal receipt, I got no order confirmation from them (not unusual with them but a tad worrying all the same). I'm not sure if they've even been released yet add I read somewhere that they were delayed.

Been trying to get a confirmation number to check order status (as I didn't create an account like a dumbass) but their office hours are ****ed and online chat is never active.

PayPal claim could be coming but I'd rather the phone.

For anyone that has ordered from banggood will an eircode work for the zip code when ordering?
Keep getting refused because the zip code is blank and not sure what to enter.

I ordered from bang good and just entered Limerick for the post code. AFAIK they don't lookup the post code like some uk/USA sites so it shouldn't matter what you enter

Are they not just pre order at present? Would have thought they would have sent an order confirmation though.

Think of getting the OPX but contemplating holding out for the ZUK Z2.

Any other suggestions?

I believe they released a statement regarding supply issues, if you Google for the XDA Developers thread for the Future you should see more details

Ulefone Future looks a nice phone but that battery is a bit of a nuisance. I'll wait for the reviews before giving it a proper look, right now the UMI Super looks interesting.

Currently delayed. Orders out on the 15th. Upgraded cases due to the delay!

Check your APN settings against those from threes site. You should also have an option to register the phone on the network. This option should be in the same section as the APN settings

I had a similar issue with my Le 1s, was always showing as roaming and 3g would constantly drop. Also had issues making calls. Got a Meteor pay as you go sim as a test and this works perfectly on 4g and 3g. It's strange since they both use the same bands as far as I know.

Not exactly a great solution but might be worth popping in a sim from another network to see if this might be the case on your phone.

I've just moved my number over to Meteor

Camera has been down again for a few days I can't fix it this time

There's a guide on their site. Have a look at it before you do anything.

Will probably be ordering 2 phones, one for me and one for herself, from oppomart this week anything to be aware of before I order?

Also anything I should do with a Xiaomi Mi Note Pro when I get it?

Thanks in advance

Would you go for that or the one plus x?

Specs wise the Mi5 is streets ahead. Have heard concerns regarding the performance of the One X. Of course you'd have to weigh that against the lack of support you'd receive for the Mi5 and the hassle of dealing with any issues that may arise as you're buying from China.

Personally if I'd go for the Mi5

Does anyone have any experience with the Elephone P9000? Thinking of getting the OH one but all the reviews say the camera app is a bit slow and pants which is the main sticking point.

Huawei P8 is on iBood for €249.95. That's a great price for that, delivered with 2 year warranty.
3Gb/16GB version.

If anything goes wrong with it, Huawei service repairs is quite fast too.

It's easier to pick a phone and then head for shops than head for shops to look for phones I find.

Try kimovil.com to find a phone for you

You will have customs charges on anything from China.
I got a ulefone power from Amazon UK, fulfilled by Amazon for £189. No customs duties and sent back to Amazon if there's any issues.

Good phone but camera isn't the best. Not totally shoite but slow at times and mixed results depending on what light you shoot in.

Yep, I've used them a few times. They're much cheaper on some brands, and shipping takes about 11 days.

Hey mate,

Do you experience any wifi and/or GPS issues with your LE 1 Pro?

Someone else with this phone reported wifi and GPS issues only a few pages back in this thread

Also whats the battery like?

Cheers
