Have the same issue with one of my s6 au
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] bas-r:
I have the latest software installed, and found my phone rebooted itself overnight.

I hope with the kernel sources out there, some smart guys can manage to create a better kernel. After someone gaines root, obviously.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iainmann:
I've been using mine for two weeks now and no problems at all with rebooting. I updated to Android 5.0.2 and all running very smoothly. Decent battery life too.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ties(to):
EXPERIENCES SO FAR:

-1-

GPS accurency > O.M.G. it's nearly perfect

-2-

Battery > I started my running workout yesterday around 16.30 with 98% and after 110 min. it was on 72% stating approx 5 hrs. left, after that phone was only in standby mode and now (the day after 13.30) still on 54%

What was active during my 110 min. workout?

* The app "Keep Screen On", to keep the screen on if Endomondo is running

* The app "Endomondo", to track my workout

* The app PlayerPro, to play music

* Bluetooth

* Wifi

-3-

Sound over earphone > Very good sound with a full bass

-4-

Bluetooth > Connected to external speaker and didn't hear any strange things

-5-

Wifi > High speed and good range in my network and no drops yet

-6-

Only bug I found is that the GPS icon will continuously stay in the notification bar

-7-

Only negative thing about the build of the phone is the plastic back that makes some noise

-8-

Dutch language is missing in this Android version

I'll receive my nano-sim in 2 working days so hopefully 3G network connection is OK, if so then I'm for 97% happy with the Blade S6 as it is on this moment :good:!

Nice weekend,

I've received my second Blade S6 today. This one gets GPS lock even inside a building... which is pretty good. So I can only guess that there is something wrong with the GPS chip (or antenna) on my first Blade S6 (and yours apparently). I'm gonna send mine for replacement.

When you plug your phone to a PC you should be able to choose how you want to connect it (Just charging, USB storage, MTP). One of these voices should be Install drivers.

Yeah, I' saw it. Honestly I don't want to install this ROM because I don't want to install everything all over again.... I think I'll wait for the OTA as said before.

Where did you find this information? It seems pretty easy to update to 5.1, as soon as it isn't a major update. Consider that ZTE updated from 5.0 to 5.0.2 in a couple of weeks.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lilienthal:
I wrote to ZTE Hong Kong support...

That's their answer:

Dear Customer,

We have confirmed with our technician and I am sorry to tell you that as of now we do not have the plan to publish a update for this phone.

Should there be further assistance required, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best Regards,
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] chris34:
Many people continue to buy phones with android 4.4 and even 4.2, without hope of update.

These "low cost" phones should be thrown in the trash as soon as you want the latest update. That's life.

Unless if sales are sufficient for XDA's geeks to cook us a new smart ROM as they have the secret.

You are on XDA forum: Buy a IPhone and wait. Buy a Samsung you can hope. Buy a ZTE and cry.

Hi everyone - I got my Blade S6 yesterday.

It keeps rebooting - not when I'm doing anything but when it's just sitting there inactive - must have happened a dozen times already and is particularly annoying as I cant disable the boot music. What could be wrong with it?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] AdjePatatje:
Hi Thijs,

I found an easy way to install Dutch language, without root.

There are quite a few official apps in Google Play, I used MoreLocale 2.

In my case I needed to attach the ZTE Blade S6 to my iMac and use an adb command from terminal to grant MoreLocale 2 configuration change permission (explaination is quite clear and simple as sson as you start the MoreLocale 2 app on the phone)

Good luck, and thanks for the link to the updated ROM !

Thanks, I don't have a PC but managed to download it on my Chromebook, transfer to a microSD , place in my Blade S6 and upgraded from there. I'm not very techy but it all seems to have worked fine.

One other problem: I can set up the portable wi-fi hotspot on the Blade S6, everything looks OK, I have 4G and my Chromebook shows it's connected, but there is no internet, nothing when I try to go online. No such problems with my Z3 Compact or HTC 620. The APN settings I use on those phones are the exact same as I've been trying with the Blade S6 - it all looks good, just no internet.

Locked Bootloader?!?

Hello to all of you,

I'm worried about if the bootloader is locked, cause my Blade S6 refuse or answer with a "failed"

message to some fastboot commands I was sending while it was in fastboot. I checked it first with 'fastboot devices'.

I am trying to get as much information as possible, because I do not know how to unlock the bootloader if it really is.

So maybe someone share his/her experience with fastboot commands.

What I have done so far is searching for unlocking methods, but nothing real was worked out.

In the end I want to root the phone like Chainfires autoroot method works, but manually as a first try.

But like I said before the phone refuse to accept my builded recovery image.

So no luck unitl now.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nsam1:
Unable to tether :(

Sadly, I've also had the problem with tethering. I'm still using the Android 5.0 ROM, but will shortly try the 5.02. Its disheartening to hear that with 5.02 you still can't get it to work. I have looked in to it a little:

Devices connect fine, and are assigned a valid IPV4 address.

Pinging the phone is fine.

Running traceroute (under linux) shows that DNS is not being resolved.

Running traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (google's public DNS server) shows that packets are not being routed beyond the phone - although it is trying to use the phone as the gateway.

Putting the SIM in my old phone (Samsung galaxy note 2, rooted, cyanogenmod etc.) and using tether works fine.

I've tried checking and changing the APN details to match those of my *working* note 2, to no avail.

This is basically a deal-breaker for me. If I can't sort out tethering, the phone goes back, and I ask for a refund. I really don't want to do this as I quite like the phone!

I wonder whether someone who has successfully managed to tether, can post some settings? e.g. APN settings etc.

Any thoughts or suggestions, very gratefully received!

TIA,

nsam

Thanks again,

nsam
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pogba:
I am also on three. I really don't want to have to ship this back :(
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nsam1:
The 5.02 update didnt help :( I am in the same position.

I've changed the APN to match that of a working phone. It simply seems that the phone wont route packets forward from the phone.

I'd like to test the SIM from another 4G enabled UK supplier, but none of my friends have a nano SIM. Does anyone else in the UK have this phone tethering successfully?

I believe its unlikely to be a hardware fault; my 4G access from the phone is fine. It's just tethering that wont work. Incidentally, I purchased my phone through Amazon. I don't remember off hand the name of the supplier.

I contacted them, and they said they would contact their supplier, but I've heard nothing else.

Looking at problems with tethering, it seems that the APN is the only thing that can cause issues - other issues appear to be down to providers not allowing tethering, but I've been doing this successfully on my old phone for over a year now.

I might contact Three, but their response (understandably) might be that it really isn't a fault at their end. As I am able to tether successfully tether with the same SIM on another phone, its clearly not them with the problem.

ZTE don't seem to offer any kind of support, and other users report tethering working fine for them.

I'd be upset if I wasn't able to resolve this!

Anyone else out there have any suggestions???

Thanks very much in advance,

nsam
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ffosse:
Also on three, tethering just doesn't work. No problems using the same APN settings and sim in my Z3 Compact.

GPS doesn't work, either - or at least not well - my Runkeeper app failed to find my location whilst out yesterday. It's a nice phone, though, so it's a keeper for me.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] woahnelly:
I've just ordered one of these, wish I'd read about tethering issues first of all. I'm also on 3, and like you nsam1 tethering is a deal breaker. Will report back when the phone arrives - tethering issue aside it looks like a lot of phone for the money.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nsam1:
Best of luck!

Well, I will certainly keep my fingers crossed for you. Who knows, maybe you might be lucky.

I haven't spent as much time playing with the phone as I would have liked (I've mostly been trying to get the tethering sorted), but everything else seems fine. As I said before, I'd really like to just have tethering working, and keep the phone. I'm running out of time before I can no longer send it back, but a phone that can't tether is not a great deal of use to me :(

Personally I found the "mifavor" UI somewhat crap, but soon discovered you can just use the default Google way of launching apps (i.e. you can have an app drawer etc.). Its a shame to read of other reported problems with the phone - As I say, I haven't really used mine "In anger", but I haven't yet had any problems with GPS, unexpected rebooting, overheating etc.

I just can't understand why tethering doesn't work, seemingly only with the Three network here in the UK. I'm interested to know of anyone else using a different UK phone provider, and whether they can successfully tether. What seems so odd is that:

1) The phone successfully assigns an IP(v4) address on other devices

2) The phone successfully sets the default gateway as its own IP address

3) 4G works fine (in fact, very well) on the device itself

I am eager to try using another (non-three) SIM in the phone and seeing how that works. I might also see if I can get through to some kind of technical support at Three; no doubt I will have to go through the irritating charade of speaking to someone in Bombay who asks me to try re-booting the phone, but if I eventually get hold of someone properly involved in technical support it might pay off...

If anyone does have any breakthroughs, or has any other relevant thoughts, do pass them on!

TIA

Hi everyone,

I've the following irritation points:

1) Percentage of battery not visible in the notification bar, is there a OS solution besides an app that will do the job?

2) The SIM2 icon stays in the notification bar even if only SIM1 is in use, can it be removed?

3) I've noticed that the blue notification is not working all the time with Whatsapp (for private and group chats I've enabled LED color blue), does anyone noticed the same?

Thanks for the reactions,

Trusted face ?

Hi everybody,

I've received my ZTE Blade S6 last month, and I've not managed to use the Trusted Face feature. I've not even found it in the settings menu. Under "Security > Smart Lock" menu, I only find Trusted Devices and Trusted Places. That seems a bit awkward, since it's a relatively important feature of Lollipop 5.0.

As reported by others, my phone is also hot sometimes, after moderately intensive gaming... I think we need a fix from ZTE for that one.

Just seen this on a site

Hello everyone. So had a chat with ZTE earlier today. I explained to them what was the issue and that many people were actually p***** by that and thinking of returning their phones. One engineer told me that the problem seems to be stemming from the fact that the phone is apparently destined for APAC and doesn't have the final ROM/software tweaks. I tried a German SIM card on his S6 (final version) and I did get tethering (Am in Germany right now) on my laptop. The final EU version is only coming this month to market. Left on the pic is the EU version, the right one is the one purchased from Ebay.
