    Anyone who bought through eglobalcental did you get SkyNet as the courier?
    How long between the initial notice that it was dispatched from Hong Kong to it arriving?

    Cheers.

    All phones are 'China phones'

    As mentioned several times, the 9T/9T Pro are amazing quality and have top end performance.

    Performance, quality and battery, very similar. I definitely prefer oxygen though. Next phone will be a xiaomi if they're still half the cost. I paid 699e for my 6t McLaren

    For anyone waiting on delivery, check your tracking as mine is in in the country since today, so should receive delivery tomorrow.

    Going to buy one of these this week. €352 for the 128gb on eglobal or €392 on honorbuy. What would people recommend as I've never bought off either of these sites?

    From reading the thread it seems if you want it quickly honoubuy, you could possibly wait 2-3 weeks off eglobal

    I purchased a few days ago off eglobal it still says processing

    I ordered mine off GearBest a few weeks ago: it came quicker than expected, and without any extra (customs etc.) charges. I ended up paying about 405 euro.

    A few days after I ordered it, a work colleague pointed me towards this site (look at the Deals column on the right) via which I could have got it for 330 from GearBest. I see it's now 321.

    It's a great phone, by the way.

    Mine finally updated. In London Hub at 13.45 today so hopefully I get it in the next few days.
    Ordered a week ago.

    From my reading of threads, a better chance of faulty-phone resolution with Amazon + a faster delivery.

    Spotify is working for me, however the home screen on spotify is just blank. I uninstalled and reinstalled, and still the same.

    Just realised I've been slightly unkind to EGlobalCentral. I thought I ordered on the 21st. I did not.
    I ordered at 23:53 on the 22nd, which is basically the 23rd, and the order was dispatched on the 25th and arrived in the London hub at 13:50 on the 28th.

    Hopefully it arrives before the weekend, in which case I'll be very happy with the service.

    A big problem I'm having with this phone is that apps seemingly can't overcome the lock screen. I use an alarm app called Sleep (As Android) and when the alarm comes on i have to manually unlock the screen to access the snooze/dismiss buttons. I've tried every conceivable app permission without success.

    Anyone else facing similar and able to resolve?

    I placed my order with eglobal late on the 8th (so effectively the 9th Oct) and it arrived in the London Hub on the 18th, out for delivery in Ireland on the 22nd. 13 days overall is not so bad, considering the price.


    I can also confirm that you get an unopened device, no dodgy firmware or anything like that. It's shipped from hong kong so you get that version which has the UK plug, no messing with travel chargers.


    The phone itself is great, blazing fast and the screen looks great. The camera is decent enough but I suspect you need to know what you're doing with the settings to get the most out of it. The Miui OS is just about tolerable for now but does have a bit of bloatware that you can't uninstall. The constant battle between the miui native apps and google apps is a bit annoying, it's hard to know which is better to use sometimes. I'm going to try the Xiaomi EU rom and if that still annoys me I'll install Lineage or Oxygen.


    Even though it recommends not to use fingerprint unlock with a screen protector I have both and they work fine (tip - put the screen protector on immediately as you remove the plastic covering that comes with the phone, avoids any dust getting in).


    Overall I would highly recommend the phone and eglobal.

    Forgot to mention: when I collected it from the skynet delivery place in Santry the girl working there wanted to know if it was a phone and where were they all coming from. She noticed a serious surge in the last few weeks. Must be a popular choice! I gave her the name of the website (eglobal) and as I left she went online to have a look for herself.

    Why not just use the clock app that comes with the phone for your alarm? You can snooze it with the volume button (dangerously convenient)

    It's a paid-for app I've been using for years, and does sleep tracking among other things. Not just a simple alarm (magnificent options with that as well).

    Did you go into settings...notifications.....lock screen notifications,then click on your sleep app and all the options are there to allow sound,notifications etc on the lock screen


    Edit..when.you go into settings>>>notifications there are three screen-like icons on the top of the screen,click the first one (on the left)

    I debloated mine using the ADB/Fastboot tool (here). It works the same as on Pocophone and doesn't require root or unlocked bootloader (just developer options turned on).

    I think its a lot less than that on banggood including customs insurance via EU priority line.
