    There'd be no extra stock over the BH Weekend anyway.

    For those of you experiencing the lack of notification light, try doing a factory reset. I just did this now, and it seems to have worked.

    Something along the lines of this taken from eircoms forum

    You may need to manually setup your email and ensure you don't use SMTP Authentication.

    I found the following information regarding setting up an eircom email on a Samsung Galaxy Ac

    1) Select email app

    2) input email address & password

    3) select manual set up

    4) POP3 = webmail.eircom.net

    5) PORT = 110

    6) outgoing mail = mail1.eircom.net

    7) PORT = 25

    8) uncheck "require sign in

    I can get as far as 5 on your list however I am not given the option of 6, 7 or 8 just next and then message saying cannot connect to server.

    The good guys over at modaco.com have only managed to flash a custom recovery on this. Not long now before we have custom roms!

    Why would you want a custom rom?

    I'd like to put something like cyanogenmod on it, or atleast a rom that is based on 5.1.1. Stock 5.0.1 can be buggy here and there. Also custom roms have different tweaks here and there that you won't get in stock.

    Does anyone know how to remove the speed dials from the cal screen? I keep accidentally calling people by just touching the screen.

    Also, my covers arrived today too! I'll message people when I'm home later, I haven't actually seen the covers yet though.

    This arrived in the post today, does the job nicely. All the cutouts are spot on. I wouldnt mind it being a shade snugger to the phone, but it'll stay on just fine. Came to €9.55 all in, not exactly cheap, but pretty much exactly what I was looking for.

    Hi,

    Can anyone tell me what type of charger connection is on this phone ?
    Is it interchangeable with other phones or is it a Vodafone only type ??

    Thanks

    I've answered back all the PM's I think so first come first served... but when they're gone they're gone lol

    Just to let you know, they fit great and all the holes are positioned perfectly for the Smart Ultra (Not ZTE Prime 6 plus!) other than that they are made of the soft almost velvet-feel silicon rather than the hard plastic version (if you know what I mean) so quite bendy/malleable as opposed to rigid & hard!

    I have a few colours left now so if anyone wants one let me know in a PM please (black & purple are gone, also have blue, pink, light blue & white on possible hold!)

    That leaves- green, yellow, orange & red (though they have been offered, as I said it's first come, first served!)

    there's always one... if three posts out of 650 are too much for you to read or clogging up the thread then I'm sorry... a lot of people are finding it difficult to get covers for this fone and therefore have expressed an interest in one of the pack of ten I got, I think it's as valid as any other post but if the mods don't like it then they are free to take it down as I asked originally when I posted that I had ordered weeks ago!

    Just sold my S5. I was going to go for a Note 4 but now seriously considering this as an option (more than 3 times less money than a Note 4!) - I just want a phone with excellent battery life, decent enough pictures, and a good screen. My S5 had pretty poor battery life.

    How is the touch sensitivity on this phone guys? That was an issue with the Smart Prime 6 - the screen was not very sensitive and if you were typing fast you'd miss a few letters.

    Also, any issues with light bleed?

    I find it very sensitive, never missed a tap or a letter.. no problems with light bleed at all on mine anyway!

    Great fone... absolutely love it, not perfect but not far from it for the price!

    Thanks for that! Going to pick one up for myself & the father when they get back in stock!

    A few tempered glass screen protectors here too: http://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html?_odkw=zte+blade+s6+plus&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xzte+blade+s6+plus+tempered.TRS0&_nkw=zte+blade+s6+plus+tempered&_sacat=0

    I thought the Vodafone model was slightly different to the normal 6 plus? Will these fit?

    Screen size is the same, looking at the pictures online they both look the same at the front (e.g. front camera placement, front buttons)- should be fine.
