Can someone point me in the direction of getting the notification light working?

cronos · 12-08-2015 03:42PM

I've got the phone. First time I've had a phone that could do 4G. I'm with 48months.ie and they don't seem to have 4G. Any other suggestions of providers that are the same or similar price for 15gb of data a month? Currently paying 15 euro for 100 mins, 100 texts and 15gb of data. I'm based in Dublin City Center.

That's a pretty good deal. Any catch?

I have one of these unopened.
I had tried to order it online a few weeks ago but the page stalled at transaction stage. When I tried again it was out of stock. No confirmation mail so I bought one in store. Guess what arrived in the post yesterday?

PM if interested.

You can return to VF for a full refund if you don't get any takers.

No catch, 30-day SIM only contract.

Do you know if they will support roaming data? That is the major downside with 48 for me.

biebiebie · 12-08-2015 04:56PM

What date exactly is the release do you know?
Are sim packs posted out, or do you have to call in to CPW?

End of next week, don't have the exact date.

Once the release is official, you can order SIM's online or get them in-store. Offers may vary for the newer customers.

Any "spare" SIMS in advance for the staff plan then?

Anyone else notice double tap to wake is gone after last update...

On that note, I haven't noticed any improvements or differences other than that since update...??!

Had to re-enable it in settings/display after update

Anyone using one of these on the Three network?

The only thing stopping me from buying is the ongoing issue with non-Three-bought phones with a Three SIM having messed up connectivity (constantly dropping 4G/3G and not automatically rejoining, randomly going into roaming and having no 3G... makes using my Nexus 4 a pain).

I'd really appreciate any feedback from someone using this phone with a Three sim! Otherwise I'll probably pay more for an upgrade in Three and get a One M8s or something, just to be safe.

Been grand for me since I got it three days ago. Can't fault it, and getting better coverage in my gaff than my iPhone 4 was.

Alanstrainor · 12-08-2015 07:52PM

Well I have the phone now. And its big, It'll take a few days to get used to I'd say! But thus far it's great. Seems to perform well, screen is excellent and feels nice in the hand. We'll see how it fairs in the coming days however!

Charlie19 · 12-08-2015 07:56PM

Its a horse of a phone. I'll have to get myself bigger pockets.

How widespread is the 4G? I'm with three and struggling on what compares to the old dial up while herselfs phone is flying with Vodafone 4G.

Hi,

Phone working fine...
connected Chromcast to TV...
installed app on phone..
Ran it...

Gets "" "Cast connection stopped. Chromecast seems to have lost its connection to your device "
and it switches off.
Time after time...

Anyone else had this problem.

All input welcome..

Thanks

Jay.

bajer101 · 12-08-2015 09:11PM

Has anyone tested NFC on this phone yet? Surely this has to be the cheapest phone on the market with NFC?

Try go to Settings - Display - Cast Screen - Click on three dots at top right and uncheck "Enable wireless display"

Got mine too and +1 on the "it's very big" sentiments. Will definitely take some getting used to. Ran a game on it for a while and it warmed up a little. Otherwise though, I'm blown away by how nice it is. the screen is fantastic and the version of android is very clean.

Got one from Spain for €4.50 delivered. Fits great.

Just asking was it off the seller cronos linked to techmaster?

Im a PAYG customer with VF. I buy €30 a month "Red" bundle and for that I get unlimited texts and calls to all networks and unlimited data.
