    Still not seeing it. Maybe that app mentioned above removes the option from the menu?

    There's no option for showing battery on it. You have to download the app I mentioned above.

    No option built in to this version of lollipop, strangely, but this does the trick - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent

    Thanks. Its bizarre not to have it already available on the phone.

    Power toggles is also very handy. Can put the battery icon top left & also has a customisable pull down menu with lots of useful icons, wifi, network, silence, flash, orientation & many more available.

    I'd say it'll turn up in an update, if we ever get one, that is.

    Are people expecting it to appear online again on Tuesday? I have to order one for my aunt once they're back in stock.

    They come online randomly, Tues/Fri are for inshore deliveries. Try at around 12 everyday or just click the notify me when stock is online (but buy immediately as they go out of stock fast).

    See this one
    http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Magic-Glass-Protector-Pantalla-Cristal-Templado-Alcatel-Vodafone-Smart-ULTRA-6-/351461639668?hash=item51d4bf05f4

    However the picture looks remarkable like an iPhone 6+ (could be they have just re-badged the product) I have seen some advice to use iPhone 6 glass (but is not an exact fit). Perhaps a solution is to use screen protector for a few weeks and get tempered glass when they become available.
    eg
    http://www.ebay.ie/itm/3x-Vikuiti-DQCT130-screen-protector-from-3M-for-Vodafone-Smart-Ultra-6-/361342708937?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5421b42cc9

    Let us know how you get on

    Hi All
    I was looking at getting a Nexus 6 or similar to upgrade by S4 until I saw this thread...

    Looks like a good deal... is it a case with this cheaper phone that when its loaded with apps it might get sluggish unlike top models ?

    Hardware wise it looks solid. But perhaps more importantly it seems to have almost stock Android so should be fine when compared with a Samsung etc. of similar hardware spec.)

    I haven't managed to get one yet though so don't take my word for it

    Anyone having trouble getting Linux Mint to recognise the Ultra 6 as a storage device? It's charging but not recognised as storage...

    What you need to do is search on how to enable MTP support on Mint.

    Have a read at this thread: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=156620

    Apparently MTP support should be built into Mint at this stage but you may have the packages removed for one reason or another.

    Android is based on Linux as far as I know therefore compatibility with mint or any other version of linux should be A1 lol

    Thanks StereoSound. I've tricked around with a few of the options in the link you provided but no dice yet.

    Does the phone appear as a storage device on a Windows machine? Have you set the phone to MTP in Settings, Storage and then click the three dots on the top right and select MTP?
