Bought one of the above from China last week and having major problems getting the mobile data to work. Anyone got any suggestions?

Chinese phones come in different versions ie Global , International , Asian. When buying a Chinese phone one must check that it's compatible with the frequencies that the network your using operates on as they are different across countries/continents.

Can you link me the exact model you bought from the website you bought it from and I'll check it out for you.

I bought it from the Xaoimi website and did a check to see if it's compatible with 3 Ireland and it said it was.

What network are you on ?

I assume you checked the obvious things like Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names and that the APN details are correct

Settings>Mobile Networks>Data Roaming set to All Networks, should work with too with National Roaming Only.

Cheers for your help. Settings are ok. Even got them to double check in 3. I can get mobile data now but drops for no reason. I'm in Galway city so coverage not an issue ESP at home
