Yeah, Andy was right.

Thanks, Ill ask a mod to update OP, should be handy for anyone looking to get the SU7. The seller seems to be away so thats probably why I couldn't find it.

Seeing as the Ultra 7 can be unlocked makes it more attractive.

nice n cheap unlock code like the SU6 ... in fact I think its cheaper! - the SU6 was €3 or thereabouts I think

True, although it would be hard to choose over the Moto G4, or G4 Plus for a bit extra and better specs/features.

Quick tip for any Android phone.

1. Go into developer mode. (In settings, About, Press Build 10x times, go back out and find developer options)

2. Set the animations from 1x speed to 0.5x speed. (There are two options to change)

It makes the animations like scrolling and opening folders,apps appear faster.

I'd be interested to see how the GPS performance is. See if the MTK processers have improved.

on all my previous phones I have gone one better and set them to zero animations. makes phones much faster.

I use a good app also to keep phone working efficiantly called 'app cache cleaner' from the play store

yes GPS used to be desperate on the older MTK processors. There used to be fixes from play store (I think one was called GPS fix) and other work arounds but still slow at seeing/finding the satellites

Does any one know how to uninstall the Vodafone apps, like messenge+ , call+ etc.
I've "force stopped" it and tried to disable but they keep popping up.
Will unlocking it help?

Is it possible to order this from Vodafone uk? Save a few quid

Mate of mine picked this up and got it unlocked. However the lack of Vodafone Sim card in it means it does awkward things when trying to make a call (keeps asking to set default app), is there a way to get rid of this?

UNlocked quick n worked perfect

i think... when i got my smart ultra 6 that the phone icon in the bottom left of the screen wasn't actually the normal make phonecall button, it was some vodafone specific app, check the menu and see if there is a different one just under the name "phone" and drag that over there instead

tried to buy off vodafone.uk at 112 sterling but cant seem to purchase without adding a bundle to it. Anyone bought from uk

Hey guys. OK in have had the phone for about 3 weeks. The 6 is a much better phone. I have ordered two screen protecters and both havent arrived. My screen us scratched to pieces. No phone like it before. Build quality is poor. It is also starting to be slow and glitchy. Don't upgrade to the 7. The 6 is a better phone by far.

How do you brighten the screen to use the Glide app?
Its very dark cannot see watch or record using glide video message app.
Tips welcome

Looking to order this as a replacement for the SU6. Am going to get it off the UK site as I will save a few bob. Just wondering is there anyway around not paying for the extra £10 bundle on top of the £135 price?

a New software update out today is crashing the phone

need to wait a bit and recover it

I had the same issue, posted it in the Vodafone forum.

Excuse my ignorance, is there any chance this is not a genuine vodafone update or contains some sort of malicious software?

Nowso

no likely a manufacturers update

sparkthatbled

Just wondering if anyone had issues with apps not launching properly? Specifically Facebook messenger, when I open it I just get a blank white screen. Also some games (relatively small ones that ran fine on my vf smart 3) crash about a second after I open them.

Nowso

New firmware update . coming through . more a security / glitch fix update i presume

Slower. Su6 is a better phone.

Agree with this, the 7 looks slightly better but otherwise the 6 is a much better phone all round performance wise.

Just bought an Ultra 7 for the oul one to replace her prime 6. who do you recommend on eBay to unlock this? Got 20 off the phone by porting a sim I never use so paid 139 for the phone.

*Never mind I just bought a code for 99p sterling a minute ago on eBay.
