    Each app has its own notification setting to choose the notification tone.

    Am in the App notifications page, and the only options I'm seeing are 'Block' and 'Priority'. No option to set own notification tone? :confused:

    For example Yahoo Mail - Settings - Mail Settings - Notifications - Choose Notification Sound
    Textra sms - Settings - Notifications - Choose Sound

    Ok thanks. So that's my gmail sorted so that now at least I can tell whether it is an sms or email coming through.

    Anyone tried to block calls on this... Like unknown numbers etc?
    I don't think it's possible but I might be wrong!
    I know there are apps that do it but it was much handier having a fone that did it itself when I had the S4!!

    Two separate sales guys in the VF shop told me that unlocking voids warranty.
    As I said earlier, I hope they're ill informed.

    Just curious, where did you buy your 2 phones that you had repaired and when?
    It might be handy to have a bit of ammo if I ever have to return the phone.

    If you look at the thread over on the Boards Vodafone forum you will see they really have no idea about the answer to this question

    People who have questions about their phone should really ask over here:

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057457335&page=17

    This thread should be left to those looking to buy imo.

    Anyone find that the vodafone stores simply do not pick up the phone at all? Called numerous times to 2 stores and never once had the phone be picked up. :mad:

    Just order it with a new Vodafone number, get an unlock code when it arrives, unlock and stick in your own sim.

    Are vodafone giving out the unlock codes? or where does one get it?

    Just got an order in there.... now the tortuous wait to see if the dispatch email is received.... or the dreaded cancellation email!!!

    Hunt now begins for a decent (and not ripoff) cover.

    Anyone know if the stores will be getting them tomorrow? Prefer getting it in person to make the switch over of numbers easier.

    Cheers, they told me Tuesday is their usual delivery day so hopefully they won't be sold out by tomorrow.

    I got my dad to pop down to the Vodafone shop in Nutgrove this afternoon and they had none, and said Thursday, but seemingly they hadn't much of a notion about when stock could arrive.

    Have mine ordered online now anyway, so we'll see!

    "Your order is due for dispatch"

    Good sign?

    I ordered this morning before 12pm. Should I have received a dispatch email by now?

    I saw when I was ordering that it said something about confirming with your bank but I just clicked OK and didnt read it properly. :/

    Don't count on it. Tons of orders don't get next day delivery. VF make lots of excuses as to why. This has happened to me more than once. Misleading & just shoddy service really.
