No, phone is unusable in my 2015 civic. Have reset and tried any possible solutions I found online without success. Phone works fine in other cars and likewise other phones work perfect in the Civic.

What Ver Android is on the 10?

Did you try developer mode stuff?

The volume is a bit lower than I'd like in the car but I just have to turn it up a good bit and remember to turn it down before the radio comes on. :pac:

Thanks for the suggestions but my problem is not with low Bluetooth volume. Phone connects ok but once in a call the connection will drop then reconnect and drop again. Constant loop.

Sorry was Marhay70 I was thinking of.

Might be worth toggling a few options though and seeing if it makes a difference anyway.

Yep tried all the suggestions for absolute volume, change region etc. The reception over Bluetooth is actually quite good, it's just the incoming volume that's poor.

Same as. Please share (as I will) on any resolution you might get.

1907 should get you through

Order arrived today - thanks to whoever posted about it first
Just waiting on my new GoMo SIM to arrive (phone is for my son)

Has anyone found a decent cover for it?

Seem to be getting 4g plus on the new phone whatever that is?

4g would be approx 100Mbps

4g+ would be 150Mbps

Oh right - haven't opened it yet (son not home from school yet)
I thought it was one of those crappy clear cases

Was hoping for something that could survive a drop
Is the one included any use in people's opinion?

it's a clear silicon case, it'll do the job (there's a screen protector on the phone too, though it's a dust magnet).
if you want something really sturdy for a young kid, spend money on an Otterbox or whatever.

The Redmi Note 10 didn't last very long on the website, I wonder if it will come back at all?

Possible in a while, probably stock related. The TCL 10L was gone for a while but is back now at €60 again, which is also great value.

Sales rep in my local vodafone shop did say it will be back in stock instore and online with that price for switchers, no date, stock issue only.

No catch really, I'm considering it as a spare, specs look great for the price. 6GB of RAM for €60 is great value.

TCL have been around for a while as Alcatel brand so they're not new to the phone game.

Is the TCL confirmed as unlocked?

Great Q!

Would also love to know if the TCL is unlocked before ordering.

Seems so
Picked one up yesterday. Originally purchased online with Home delivery, but apparently out of stock and on Backorder. Loads available in the Shops so went with "click & collect" to avoid any pressure to buy €20 credit instore.....


.......and it's unlocked ! Gomo sim working away in it.


BTW, the online site is showing it as Black and 128G Storage. It's only available in Blue or White, and VF appear to only have it with 64G Storage.
Fantastic value at €60.
That's not my opinion I just copied and pasted a reply from search on this site.

That's great to know, I didn't realise that you could click and collect and not be pushed into the €20 top-up there and then which I don't need.

Thanks, have ordered online today for home delivery - will see how it goes.
Click and collect not available for my local store so would have to travel to buy that way.

Couldn't agree more. I to was on to them and getting the "was out of stock when you ordered" excuse too.

I would be VERY curious to know if anyone who ordered on here actually did receive their Mi band with/after their order?

If we ordered the same day the order went live I find it very hard to believe there were two hundred orders placed ahead of ours.

It's not like the offer and launch were heavily promoted and advertised and touted all over social media.

IICRC the original poster who spotted the deal and shared it on here only discovered it because he was looking for the Note 9 and noticed that this had replaced it.

I wouldn't be surprised if they used the stock image and text blurb from the UK Vodafone site as they were running the offer, only actually had a proper set up allowing people to claim the Mi Band and the UK customers have received theirs, and now that Vodafone IE have had multiple queries from customers wondering where their Mi Band is that they've realised their gaff and quickly pulled it from the site.

Unlikely, perhaps, yet anything wouldn't surprise me at one stage.

I'm beginning to doubt this was a genuine offer and that even one single person received their Mi Band


Would love to be proved wrong however, so if anyone here got one would you please mind sharing the date and time of your purchase and if it came automatically with your order.

Ordered on the 3rd June, Thursday. Dispatched on Thursday night. No band.

CS are clueless. I'd love the band but not sure what can be done. I obviously don't want to return the phone!

Yeah, it's a bit of a balls up all around, you can tell CS haven't a clue and are just making things up on the spot when you ask them and fobbing you off to get rid of you as quickly as possibly and no matter what info they come back you know they're lying.

I'd be more impressed if they just said they hadn't a clue and weren't even sure what department to go to or who to contact to find out about the offer.

Too late for any of us to return the phone now in "protest" as it's well past the 14 day cooling off period, plus I want the phone but the Mi Band was a definite decided in me buying so I'll be a bit miffed if it was all a ruse, but how can you prove that, you can't.

The band is available for about €30 lads, I have one myself and its grand. Definitely not worth getting worked up over.

Honestly it's not the value, it's the principle of it and how shifty and shady the customer service reps are. Can't get a straight answer out of any of them.

It just feels of poor customer service and whilst I know all networks are much of a muchness nowadays and CS is poor with them all, for the most part, this experience has really left a sour taste in my mouth and put me off using Vodafone again.

If they're like this with a small issue I'd hate to think how they handle more serious matters.

circlek wrote: »

I'm just glad I got the phone! With Vodafone even that is a lottery. I didn't even think I'd get it as I've had multiple orders cancelled in the past.

Initially the band was a deciding factor but when I received a 128GB phone instead of 64GB as well as NFC, I wasn't going to complain. NFC is optional.

How do you mean optional? As in not every phone has it?

The TCL that's on offer, is it the Lite version?

Looking to get a phone case for it and don't want to get the wrong model.

I wish they would make phone model names more district and easily distinguishable nowadays

The phone for 59 euro is the TCL 10L, the dearer phone on offer is the TCL 10pro.

TCL 10L appears to be unlocked, tried a GOMO SIM and was able to receive incoming calls.

One thing to note is it's a single SIM, thought specs online mentioned dual but the tray is SD + SIM and no mention of secondary SIM in settings.

This is a gift for a relative so not using myself but will report any feedback I get.
