There are some nice rubber cases from china available at aliexpress, I ordered 2 of it last week.

They sent it out, so they have it in stock, but I didnt receive yet, since they send it from Hongkong.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iainmann:
Thanks. Ordered a couple.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MACADMY:
I ordered 1 as well.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sandruman:
But they don't want PayPal for payments!
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] marus2:
For $8 I would risk losing PayPal cover.

And, if you won't receive your goods, you won't confirm it and ali will return money
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iainmann:
Looks like the official release for the S6 in the UK is May 1...well, that's when Amazon start selling it. It's up for preorder now, although other sellers are selling it already presumably with the Asian software. Perhaps ZTE will release the official EU/UK ROM then and it may fix the tethering with 3 issue.

On the offical ZTE Site the Update to B10 was removed yesterday. Now the only version is B08 again - maybe they read this thread with the issues?:laugh:

Oh okay - now B10 is listed again... meh
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingnappa:
I'm using B10 and so far I've found no issues (I wiped everything with a clean installation). Did you find an improvement about picture quality and camera focus?

Later today ..I'm still at work and it is just close to 13:00 GMT+1(2) ..so this evening at round about 18:00 i will check.

If you can't wait download Root Genuis and try for yourself :D

which version is it`I found only the 1.8.7

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

OK, I tried Version: 2.2.4 right now..My chinese is very bad ;) but I am sure the phone is NOT rooted. Finally I didn´t get a trophy :(
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ioglnx:
Yep 2.2.4 was the last version. Hmpf thanks for testing already.

Yeah the chinese people are faster in rooting than others as I noticed at least with MediaTek devices.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rickyzx:
I have a question to ask. Does it support both GSM and CDMA? The very first ZTE mobile device I had seen was a CDMA supporting device. That's why I am asking this question.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iainmann:
No. Current model is GSM only.

ZTE Blade S6 Root (Fastboot and ADB working)

Hi !

Just received my brand new ZTE Blade S6 from GearBest running Android 5.0 under build 07.

I'm playing a bit with it (Power + Down) then (Down only after logo) and I get to the FTM screen.

From there, I can "adb shell" the device (see attachment 001 - 2 pages).

However, I don't know how to log in as "root" (no "su" command available).

The "id" command gives me :

I can easily reboot in bootloader mode, etc. And FASTBOOT command works as well.

Is that helpful to anyone ?

Anyone to guide me trying to root that phone ?

Otherwise, how did I get to that step ?

With the phone plugged onto USB to my laptop in regular mode, I got the "Fake" CD-ROM available on the computer and setup the provided drivers.

I also triggered the USB debug mode ON by tapping the menu item 7 times (which then added the "Developper" menu item to my Settings menu), and triggered the mode on.

Than I just used the Power + Down, then Down only until it showed "FTM" on the screen. Then unplugged USB and replugged it again.

Thanks !

Hello.

Can someone help me find, how to disable vibrate on silent mode? Can't find it...

Installed B10
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] frenkovi:
This option is not supportet. Create a ringtone without sound...
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] marus2:
Hm, great disadvantage... My previous zte v5 have this option included.

And what about disable boot sound? Also not supported?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] frenkovi:
This feature is not included in Android 5.0

In later version, the option is back...
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] marus2:
Hm... Root is desperately needed for this device as it solve much of my problems
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] marus2:
I discover how to enable this - press power button until reboot table appear. At the bottom, tap on the left icon - dashed circle. That is silent mode...

And another question.

It is possible to associate specific ringtone to some contact?

Photo LED issue

So I have discover something, what really annoying me.

Look at attached photo - that was created in dark room using LED.

WTF? Have anyone also the same issue?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] adhya:
Everytime i restart the phone, location service icon always showed up on the status bar. The only way to get rid of it is by turn the location off then turn it back on. It happened again every restart. And also, everytime i open the Google Maps, there's no location service icon on the status bar. I'm on B10, is anyone have the same problem?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] frenkovi:
Clean the lens!?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] marus2:
After you write an idea about cleaning a lens, I have got some suspection.

And? I use my device in case. And below case there was still original foil from factory.

After removing it, suddenly photos are colorful as bright summer day.

Thank you:good:
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] frenkovi:
I had the same problem.

Have a nice evening!
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] gbSung:
Do you still have the rear protective cover on the phone that covers the lens and LED flash?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] frenkovi:
I have no cover at time. Only Display Protector.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nsam1:
I finally returned my Blade S6, which was a shame as I liked most aspects of it. No tethering with Three UK was a total deal breaker, and no root similar. I spoke to Three, I spoke to ZTE, all the same - unable to help.

Luckily the supplier (WMicroUK via amazon) were very good, and gave me a full refund. I am now wondering what phone to buy...Shame I didn't have success with the S6 :(

Best of luck to you all with the rooting issues, and in particular, with the tethering 3 UK issue.

Nsam
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] adhya:
which problem to be precise?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] frenkovi:
The problem with bad photos when using flashlight.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pogba:
That's a real shame. Did zte even get back to you? I have still not had a reply back after many many weeks! Maybe you should try and wait until 1st may when the UK version is released on amazon. Last night I got my hopes up when I realised I hadn't tried using Bluetooth tethering and as you may have guessed...no data was sent :(

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Degenerate76:
UK Blade S6 owner here. Just found this thread.

I bought this phone with the specific intention of tethering using my SIM-only "one plan" contract on the UK three network. And guess what, it works for me. It's worked perfectly from day one. I'm typing this reply on my Laptop, tethered to my S6 via mobile hotspot mode right now.

My firmware version is B08. I updated it after a couple of weeks on the advice of tech support to solve an unrelated issue. I don't recall what the original version was.

So it's quite puzzling to me to hear all these reports of people having problems with it, but I have to suspect that the problem here could be where you got your phones. and them not being proper UK models?

I ordered my S6 from "Super Egrow Group" on aliexpress.com, on the launch day February 10th. This was the official launch channel for this phone, and it included the "official UK launch" (that some of you think is still to come). They launched it in 6 different countries, including the UK on the same day. It certainly was counter-intuitive, but despite having ordered from a Chinese website and paid in US dollars, my phone arrived via a domestic Royal Mail service with no duties to pay.

If you got your phone from any other source, there is a possibility that it was intended for a different country.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] marus2:
That's very strange.

Can you post information from settings - about phone - build number?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iainmann:
Anyone know if the ZTE Blade S6 Plus has the same shell as the Blade S6 Lux? I'm after a case for the Plus and wondering if Lux ones will fit OK.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] marus2:
Depended on your screenshot, I doubt the issue with three is SW related...

You have B08 version, actual is B10, so you have a bit outdated SW. But if it works...

BTW, when it comes to "Super Egrow Group" on aliexpress.com - they promise to send from europe to avoid taxes. I heard about few users, which have they phones from china and payed them. They raised dispute on aliexpress and they return them documented import taxes. This is what I call customer support.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iainmann:
I live in the UK and bought the S6 and S6 Plus from Egrow on eBay UK. I think they also use other names on eBay, but all based in Hayes or Middlesex or South London. So presumably if you buy from Aliexpress, they just tell their UK base to send it out. Both orders I made with them were for 24 hour delivery, which went smoothly. It seems they're one of the eBay and Amazon retailers "chosen" by ZTE to sell the S6 and S6 Plus, although the Plus seems to be eBay only at the moment.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pogba:

ZTE blade S6 USA

Hello all,

just wanted to say thank you, I have been reading thru the messages on this forum today. I am currently on Build B07 and about to update to build B10 in a few minutes.

I have noticed the battery drains rather quickly at the moment, and the phone runs hot. I hope these problems will be fixed.

I have only had the Phone since 4/10/15 so I still need to get more familiar with it. I am new to Lolipop, coming from Kit kit, it does seem vastly different.

I do have one quick question: The FM radio, it states the ear buds are not connected and then displays a off (cancel) button and the app closes. Is there a way to use this feature in speaker mode?

Thank you.:)
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Comakip:
You can use the fm radio in speaker mode but you always have to connect headphones, otherwise the radio won't work. The cable of the headphones act as an antenna.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] OttoZro:
OH wow... OK thanks for the info :)
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uriens:
After about 1 month of use I would suggest this phone to everyone considering the price. The only real disadvantage in my experience is the missing root access which for me is essential.

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pr3muToS:
1.Download Super-Root.apk for ZTE Blade S6 from this link : [Moderator edit: Pay-per-click/survey links are not allowed here]

2. Connect your device to your PC using the USB cable.

3. Copy the Super-Root.apk over to the root of your SD card.

4. Once it’s been copied, disconnect your device from your PC.

5. Head to Menu>>Settings>>Security on your device and enable the Unknown sources option.

6. Open the File Manager app on your device and install the app you copied earlier to your device.

7. Once the app’s been installed, launch it from your App Drawer.

8. Select Install SuperSU from the first dropdown menu.

9. Select exploit, tap on it in the app.

10. The app should begin rooting your device, shouldn’t take too long to finish.

11. Reboot your device once it’s been rooted.

12. You’re all done! Excellent! You’ve successfully rooted your Android device using the Super-Root.apk app and you should now be able to see the SuperSU app in your App Drawer!
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Comakip:
I do not believe this. Could you provide some proof? Perhaps a YouTube video showing that you got root on your device.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingnappa:

No successfull root for the time being and no valid guide found googling (it seems that Eroot does not recognize the phone).

I noticed that charging is very slow, impossible from PC-USB (15% in 2 hours using the phone from PC). Do you have the same slow charging? How much time the phone need to complete a full charge?

From the wall charger it took mine nearly exactely what it should. 2:40. 2400mAh battery with a 1000mA outlet would result in 2:24 + you have to add some losses, so 2:40 is what it should be!
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uriens:
Thank you! I charged the phone from the wall charger and installed the app "Ampere" to monitor it, everything seems ok with actual input current of 940mA. Probably the USB port of my PC and the cable did not supply enough current for an acceptable charging (maybe less than 500mA).

Let's wait for a working root procedure.
