My LeTv x800 is slowly heading to the grave, any recommendations for a replacement? Similar size and specs..

What's gone wrong with it? Mines been benched for 6 months or so, smashed the screen again.

HTC One M8, hand me down from the mother. I couldn't afford to buy a new screen for the LeTV so I sure as hell couldn't afford a new phone. LeTV is about 18 months old at this stage, I reckon I've only used it for about 6.

I'll be replacing the screen in the next few weeks though.

Have you tried a different ROM? I think mine is on CM14. Been about 6 months since I've used it but there was no hassle back then.

FYI its officially LeEco now.

My X820 is knacked now too due to the camera hardware failing. Appears the component isnt available through any of the normal channels so its useless.



As the company is about to collapse this is a warning to others, plenty of good options out there but LeEco really aren't one of them. The suppliers who built the stock you're buying havent been paid and never will be.

What's the site from Spain please?

Sorry, i thought i had linked it. They will only ship to Spain.
I have a friend living over there, although she is away for a couple of weeks at the moment, so it probably will not be worth my while.

Aye I knew that, LeTV is stamped on the back so I'm used to it.

Definitely don't recommend anyone buy LeTV or LeEco devices.

The phone is nice, but they're a shower. If I knew then what I know now I wouldn't have bought it at all.

This info would have came from whoever you ordered from - unless the format changed postcode/town name?

Don't think so. When I changed mine it was a disaster . I had an awful job to get it delivered because I changed the name is well but you should be ok

Is there a few versions of it like with the note4 models? differnet chipset or camera etc.

EDIT: on the site i have $279 from italy so no customs? 4gb/64gb and 299 for spain warehouse. donno why spain and itlay warehosue have different prices! both have no customs?

Anyone buy a xiaomi note 4 from eBay from Ireland or uk seller or similar as looking for one quick thanks

steven087

Or would the xiaomi mi5 be a lot better phone than the note 4

Guys, recommendations for an update/upgrade on a dying ultra 6.
Need SD slot, good battery, good camera front and back. Something that may get updates.
Works out of the box as wouldn't be savy enough to root. Will pay a bit extra to avoid customs. Recommended seller also?
Mi5? Note 4? Others?

Some people here have used http://www.mishop.ie

Seller is based in Dublin (I think) so delivery is very fast.

Seem to be out of stock on the note 4

Unfortunately not all phones are readily available for quick delivery. Even be wary of some sellers on eBay saying it's in stock when it has to be shipped to from Asia

The 4x - http://www.techadvisor.co.uk/review/android-smartphones/xiaomi-redmi-note-4x-review-3658711/

The price/worth is up to you.
They are €130 to Ireland from many suppliers (on aliexpress mainly). Add vat and handling (shipping can be quite fast 5 days-2 weeks from Dreami, Fantacy, HKGoldway)
€130 + €30 + €7 (handling an post) = €167 delivered

The link you posted
Ebay (realistically direct to Ireland) 5-7 working days £10 = Nearly €200
Ebay to UK 2-3 days + PM/PW/AP is roughly €4 + 1-2 days = Roughly €190

Those prices are for the 3GB/32GB Global version in Black.

The prices in China are no longer as competitive as they were. But in this instance i did not check.
You should always treble check on Amazon and other Eu websites for a better price.
There are a lot of Eu price checking sites.

Anyone any opinions on this?

Went into the DHL tracking this morning and was told to contact them with address information
I had already done this
So I ring the call center he said located in Dublin . they had my correct address there. Apparently my package was sent to DHL Shannon by mistake and they had no detaiils. Such a rigmarole

I ordered one from Honorbuy on Sunday evening. Received it yesterday morning.

https://www.honorbuy.com/1105-xiaomi-redmi-note-4-international-version-64gb-gray.html?source=webgains_de&siteid=160367

It's updating to Android 7 as we speak. :D

Here's the route it took, less then 24 hours from pick up to delivery... http://www.dhl.com.hk/en/express/tracking.html?AWB=7112711266&brand=DHL

I'd say if you ordered one early enough, you'd have it the next day.
