It has nothing to do with their service or delivery times, but they were rewarding people for saying good things about them on here and on other websites, which is not really acceptable. A few people got banned for it.

Thats fair enough - shilling is wrong and I agree with the bans etc.
But for me I will buy if they have something and the price is right.

Have to get rid of my Jiayu g4s, battery is fooked.
Liking the look of the new Xiaomi Mi4C, any other recommendations for current or upcoming phones?

5" screen, 2-3gb ram, decent battery, 200-250 euro budget.

Had a Neo NOO3 for the last 2.5 years and replaced itnwith a Vudafone Ultra 6, unlocked it via EBay and all done for €175.

Phone is pretty decent and the camera is better in low light than my previous Chinese phone.

Anyone in a hurry and not keen on customs etc this phone is decent for it's price, a bargain actually and well worth considering.

Should of mentioned that the camera is also not great, refuses to focus at times.

Hi guys,can u tell me if I should be able to access the icons on this lollypop phone without putting in the sim card, it turns on OK,but can't seem to swipe it.

RossieMan

What type of phone is it? You should be able to wipe it if it has a recovery installed. Usually the easiest method.

horse7

It's an mstar m1 pro,just out of the box.

Could it be the screen protector?

horse7

No ,issy just tried it. Should it work without the sim?

Looks like a sticker stuck on top left of screen, remove, reboot

horse7

No go, and have to take battery out to reboot.

horse7

So with some more research, I've hooked up a mouse and got into the icons,see pic.But still not able to get screen to respond?

Can access settings and reset by using a mouse, reset says erases all data on phone, will that remove,stuff already installed eg gmail,play store file manager etc?

I dont want to mess up the phone,as i just got it from gearbest,and that took some grief. If i have to send it back that could be a long wait.(europe warehouse)

Second image I can see a lock icon, its not unlocked you need to click it and move it up.

horse7

Hey guys, it's me again, so customs told me I'd get my phone tomorrow, so would I get it from the regular mailman in the morning like any other or at a different time?

Hi ya lads, I was gonna take a punt on the Infocus m810 but it went outta stock. I've been looking at the Meizu M2 note for 135 euro. Anybody own one or have any opinion on it? I've looked at a few videos and they generally seen quite positive about it. cheers

I heard that the camera is quite average, and the loud speaker isn't great, maybe they are software issues?

Patience is a great thing when you have it. It comes whenever the postman does.
