Got the latest update notification tonight. Anybody installed it yet? Should I, or shouldn't I?

Installed it on 2 phones in my house a couple of days ago,both running perfectly. Read somewhere that the headphone amp volume had been turned down but I'm not noticing that

Phone arrived today and I installed the latest 8.0 update on it and it's running great but I have nothing to compare that too...

Did you contact them?

No, we are having some issues with scaling at the moment. We are working on the problem at the moment.

Quote from this reddit thread, what ever "scaling" means?

Sorry to say, but I've had problems with The Solution Shop too. First order was great, delivered very quickly. Second went missing for almost two weeks and I had to harass them to get an alternative delivered. I thought that might have been an anomaly, but then the third order was a complete disaster and ended with a refund after 3+ weeks. They take orders when they don't have stock but still quote fast delivery times and just fob you off with empty promises.

Do you see any business address on their website?

Yes, I know, I wasn't looking for a business address I was just pointing out that they don't have one.

They could get there eventually, the problem is that they just fob you off with standard responses when honesty would let you decide whether to wait or cancel. My second order was delayed because the colour wasn't in stock - fair enough, but they should have said so on day one and saved us both some grief.

They also tried to tell me that they never had this issue before, so I had to remind them they certainly did - with my previous order. :pac:

I did. From the Italian warehouse. â‚¬4 something DHL delivery. Trackable all the way. Was very happy. I bought it the night of Cyber Monday and had it the following Monday.

rebeve · 30-01-2018 07:22PM

My order has gone from awaiting dispatch , to on hold after I contacted paypal .Now its gone to shipped (awaiting Tracking ) .You couldn`t make it up .

This will take a while to get a refund me thinks .

If it has shipped, you should have it very soon. It's the bit between ordering and shipping that goes wrong I think.

Spanish Version on Amazon.se supplied by Amazon.

Anyone know if this version has the B20 band for 4G in Ireland.
Spain unusually does not use the B20.
Most of the rest of Europe uses it.
According to GSMARENA the only versions that don't have are India and China.

How much do you stand to save compared to any of the other sites that are favourably reviewed above? Is it worth it??

Anybody here use the Sky Q or Sky Go apps with this phone? Do they work on this phone?
