Vodafone Smart ultra 6 Owners Thread- apps, tips & tricks

rizzee

Just bought an actual cover for the Ultra not the ZTE so a definite fit, this lad has them for sale in bulk on AliExpress but I mailed him and he's selling them separate. €4.60 for a silicon fitted cover, with a choice of colours. Not bad at all.

Did you try in a store or just online?

Which stores were out of stock?

Sold out online and all the stores in Dublin haven't checked the stores outside Dublin.

I think I'm going to have to jump on this bandwagon soon lads. My S4 is done i think!

None to be had anywhere it seems.

Ya hoping they get new stock in soon. You would imagine Vodafone would be keen too. Anyone get any indication when they are expecting them?

Hope this is back in stock soon - great BA

The tech spec for the price is great.

My only concern is size - 6 inch x 3 inch

Anyone that has one - is it like one of them phablets or is the size grand ???

( currently have moto g from a previous BA - ( size = 5.11 x 2.59 inch )

I couldn't do it either, but then I realised I very rarely turn my phone completely off.

Stuck in 64gb card it's working perfect. Got a set of Bluetooth earphones too. All kitted out for now except the covers :pac:

Was told 3 different things in different stores, first they were definitely going to be in early last week....

To be honest the staff generally haven't got a clue.

Anyone noticed their ultra to be abit laggy when browsing or watching YouTube videos?
It was also abit on the laggy side using google maps navigation earlier in the car. I think maybe with all the apps I installed and uninstalled lately I need to wipe the cache partition in recovery or something.

If you were looking for a smaller screen to the ultra would the prime be a decent alternative at 89 euro?

Edit: well after a quick google of this phone I think this question does not require an answer

anyone on tesco having any probs getting 3g, I downloaded the settings for the ZTE blade 6 but beside the signal strength there's an "R"..I cut the sim down from micro to nano and the phone and texts are sound,the "Data Roaming checkbox"enabled or disabled checkbox is on all the time either way,might order a nano from Tesco and see if that changes anything???

Prime 6 is also an excellent phone.

that's normal for tesco/48 as they roam on 3s network.

No problems here.

I got this on Saturday and was using 3G on Saturday no problem. Then I switched to wifi and had disabled mobile data until today. I've tried messing with all the settings trying to get data to work but still to no avail. Anyone experienced anything similar and able to advise me on how to resolve this?

Oh, most of the reviews I saw online was that it wasn't great.

sluggish, poor camera and screen?

size wise and price wise if it was decent I would prefer it to the ultra

I'm the same, got a proper nano sim from Tesco too. Must call them. You can get the settings sent to the phone from support on their site but they only have the zte blade s6 not the plus. I tried it anyway no luck.

The top half can get hot on charging and heavy use. I think the lagging is an optimization thing. Vodafone hopfully will push an update to improve performance here and there and a few other things soon. Or is it ZTE doing the updates one wonders. I'd be interested to know the source of the firmware for these devices.

Will we still get the updates to this devices software if unlocked and on different network

Lollipop is a much better experience on a phone with 2gb.
