Was it an OTA update?

I've been checking for updates regularly via settings with no joy.

I find with LTE on, the battery drains a lot faster... I don't turn it on unless I need to

Where do I find the lte option?

So I have the Asian version of this phone and have been happily using 4G with 3 for the last 2-3 monhts. I just upgraded to KitKat and now I can't use 3G or 4G at all!! There's seems no other way of using Internet on the phone other than via wifi. I do have text messages and can make phone calls.

Has anybody experienced this? Is there a way to downgrade to JellyBean?

Dublin Deluge

Fixed my phone. It turns out that I needed to add the APN for 3 on my phone. This thread has info on how to add it:

Anyone else notice since 4.4 that push up for Google now is gone?

lads and lass's that have this phone over all is it worth taking plunge for this phone over the nexus 5 which i have now and frankly bores me to tears looking at some of your issues there like the hissing noise with usage of head phones which would bug the very piss out of me is that a problem with every one or just a select few? thats enough to make me not get it :0

Got the update this morning. Much more snappier but other than that nothing to write home about.

Still can't access the LTE only permission on the secret menu though!

So this isn't a 4g phone then?

It is a 4g phone the problem is you need 3rd party software.

What kind of software and why would it if it's alledged 4g/LTE.... Does the 3rd party software effect it at all

Something like '4g switcher' will do it for you. When you install it and open it it brings you straight into the phone info screen.

Halfway down the screen there is a 'set preferred network type' dropdown menu, you're better off selecting 'LTE/gsm/wcdma' clicking back will then close it.

The only downside is shutting down the phone resets the network settings so you then have to do this process again.

Once you only click the drop down menu nothing else on that screen youll be grand.

Not necessarily, its just because of where I got mine and the security permissions on it causing problems. Others here didn't seem to have these problems.

I did read most of it saw about customs and that .. Says clearly on bottom of site that should not be charged customs then noticed its shipping from Hong Kong Which I didn't know ah well... Any.way let ya know when it arrives hope its better than the nexus 5 which is a let down for me

The guy who delivered it to me from DHL said I could get another one next week & not get charged so my parcel was just the randomly selected one! They are meant to be paying me back the vat but they have gone very quiet since Good luck with your parcel....it's a little under €95 vat if it gets stopped.
