Hi

hoping someone can help

got an Elephant Paris

Thursday night updated a couple of things, cannot remember exactly what, google account rings a bell, as i did "lose" my google account anyway, now phone doesnt:

Show battery / wifi / simple / time / battery % indicator at very top of screen

Rings but doesn't show name to answer calls

swipe down to show the settings for bluetooth etc

A Google search bar has appeared

Anyone got any suggestions to revert to normal usage?

Thanks

elephone p3000s sorry

okay done that did a back up with titanium back up and my back up and seem to have lost everything

Cannot see the back up

To add insult to injury, it still doesn't work

No text message notification

No notification bar

Doesn't show name of person calling and cannot answer the phone

You need to go into titanium backup and switch the folder to where the backup is. They do a restore.

If it backed up to the phone is it lost?

If not how do I find it please

Where did you save the backup to? It should be there as long as you didn't clear it. I'd always save it to an as card, phone storage is usually cleared after a reset.

Should I???/:eek:

Can someone recommend a good quality 5" phone (everything seems to be 5.5"). It's for the missus so she doesn't want a monster phone. Budget is about €300. Looking at the xiaomi mi4c but not convinced. Anything else I should be looking at?

Well it's not that I'm not convinced.. It's just in case I'm missing something I'm not aware of.

If your looking at going for a Chinese phone you wont do much better than Xiaomi for quality otherwise the new moto g 16g model has received very good reviews and is well within your price range

the new weekly MIUI rom for the RedMi N2 has seriously improved my battery life.

its annoying having to reflash Gapps/TWRP after each update though.

First proper review of the Ulefone Paris I've seen

The time has come to replace my Neo and have chosen a Vodafone Ultra.

Anything in similar price €170 that could be better?

iPhone clones are always tacky and horrible though, chance of customs seizing them and destroying them aswell. Theres no need for it with the choice thats out there these days anyway.

Ardennes1944 · 12-10-2015 12:23pm

Looking forward to this i just wish it would be released!

Woooo.. my new Jiayu has been sent. But not sure where it is really. Got a RX*********DE tracking number. Site that mixeshop told me to use doesn't exactly give much info though.

Franco Mario · 13-10-2015 3:58pm

Hey guys, today my tracking info got updated and it said its at customs, how long before it reaches my door in Dublin, and will it be a van or the postman in the morning??

You will probably have to email them copies of paypal payment or invoice for the goods and they will then advise how much you will have to pay.

OH NO!! But i dont think it will happen because i got my package declared of a lower value, like 60 usd or something from banggood to avoid tax etc, soooooo?

That won't work, they have long since copped on to that.

GBX · 13-10-2015 4:28pm

Dont think it will be more than €25/30 if they do contact you.

That's why they don't bother with the declarations anymore, they want to see receipts now.

You should receive a letter from customs advising that they have it, and asking you to provide payment information etc., after you do that they will tell you how much you will have to pay and then send it out for delivery to you the next day or so.

Sorry again guys, but how long til I get the letter? And it still says item sent to customs? Is it possible that I can pay and get it from there quicker someone? Thanks for your answers and hope I'm not spamming too much

GBX · 14-10-2015 2:14pm

You are in their queue. Unfortunately there is no quicker way but to wait
