Well i haven't seen a forum or topic on this amazing phone from vodafone with amazing specs below. The phone can also be unlocked from ebay for £3.75 confirmed by me as i have one.

Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 specifications:

Dimensions: 154 x 77 x 8.35mm

Weight: 159g

Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 MSM8939, octa-core

Display: 5.5 inch Full HD (1080 x 1920)

Storage: 16GB, microSD (up to 128GB)

Memory: 2GB of RAM

Camera: 13Mp rear-facing LED flash, 5Mp front-facing

Operating system: Android 5.0, Lollipop

Battery: 3000mAh

QUICK REVIEW

First impressions:

1) Nippy little phone. Good quality screen - both bright and clear with little reflection.

2) Like the buttons below the screen - particularly the glowing centre button when I have a notification

3) After using for a few hours last night, impossible (for me) to use one handed. Do enjoy having large screen, but the size of device may take some getting used to. Think for me, I'd prefer a maximum of a 5inch screen. Didn't come as a surprise though as knew it was same size as iPhone 6 Plus

4) Appears well built, with no flex. Impressed with quality.

5) Played Monument Valley and Sonic Rush - both appeared fairly quick (although loading times were long, this may have been software.)

5) Overall, an absolute bargain at £125 if you can cope with size.

I think you should try these, as the installed android should be close to pure android.

If you just want to access your file system then you will need to enable the MTP setting in Settings / Storage. Click on the three dots in the top right to bring up the USB settings and enable MTP.

I have looked for the Android / ADB drivers on both the Vodafone site and ZTE's site without luck.

Rooting working with kingroot but xposed needs to be installed via a custom recovery (i think?) and there isn't one for this device. the bootloader seems to be locked as I can only get the help command to work. shame because the device is brilliant for the money.
[General Questions and Answers] Kenneth131:
just picked up one today and phones damn impressive for the price considering the rest in the price bracket. I have found a few bugs mainly the light capacitive keys in blue flicker when installing a new app and when they black out , they have a time limit on them you can chose between off - always on in stages, and you hit the menu key for recent apps, the blue back light fails to come on but hit the home or back button and they all light up again.

I would like to hope this phone gets some dev attention due to the price point and how versatile it is, I'm sure it will be a popular handset for many given the lack of choices in this price range and the high spec provided for the price

Roms

Ok so I've uninstalled the bloatware and the phone is working great but I'm still curious as to whether you can flash ROMs on this that are for the zte blade s6 plus since its essentially just rebadged, would this be possible? Does anyone know does it work like that?

since the stock launcher is ridiculous i tried running Nova, but after rooting i got a bug of some sort: when you open the camera, i get an "unfortunately Gallery has stopped" error. Nova crashes and returns to the stock launcher. rebooting and reinstalling did not solve it.

OTA Update

Hi ,

Since the OTA update the display no longer remains switched on when charging.

Has anyone else experienced this or was this a deliberate change in the update ?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] ozan1905:
ota update

after the ota update, i can not change the gsm mode. it shows that using 4g-3g-2g automatic. i tap on it and choose only 2g it shows like i am using 2g however it doesnt apply the change. i go back and open gsm mode menu it shows again 4g3g2g auto mode.
[General Questions and Answers] iainmann:
Changing mode works fine for me after update.

One thing...does double tap to wake not work for everyone when the phone is flat on its back on a table. Perhaps it's a deliberate design.
[General Questions and Answers] anafernandes27:
In that situation it works better if you double tap on the home button (or one of the others).

Hi again guys,

Does someone know if this phone comes with 4x3 keyboard? Or is qwerty the only one? I've been trying to change but can't seem to do it...
[General Questions and Answers] anafernandes27:
Try TouchPal.
[General Questions and Answers] BlueMoonRising:
No, the stock keyboard doesn't have a T9 option. Have a look at https://play.google.com/store/search?q=T9 keyboard and take your pick.
[General Questions and Answers] anafernandes27:
I highly recommend touchpal. I used it on my previous phone, and when ultra's stock keyboard failed to let me add new words I started using it again. It's really good, wether you're using qwerty or 4x3. I went back to 4x3 so I can use the phone with just one hand.

It looks like this:

Call Confirm on the Vodaphone Smart Ultra 6

Yeah, I have the same problem. Even the update hasn't fixed this issue. However, I have found a workaround of sorts. If you install the Google Hangouts Dialer, every time you make a call it will ask you what your preferred app is, to which you must go "just once" for phone in order to make the call. This does have the undesirable feature that if you hit "always" by mistake, you'll have to go into apps and clear the default settings again, but it's at least something.

I installed Epic Citadel from the Play Store. I was expecting it to crawl because gaming perfornance was mentioned as a slight issue. On benchmark I got 51fps average. I will take that anytime of the day. Was disappointed with the lack of gyroscope. But there is ways around that when using Trinus. I do have an IR clip. I have noticed with the 5.1.1 update that under Developer mode there is an option 'Allow bootloader to be unlocked"?

Apologies if this last point has been mentioned.

Anyone getting slow speed on PlayStore on 50+ mb apps?

Before the 5.1.1 update i didn't had this problem.. I only get slow speed download on apps with 50mb or plus, i've run speedtest and my internet is good.. Searched on Google but didn't saw nothing that helps... This is lame, 1 hour to download an 1gb game..
[General Questions and Answers] femilovechild:
Way you go

1. Root with kingroot. Don't close it, just press home.

2. Install terminal emulation. Run the command in modaco's guide to replace the recovery with the twrp version.

3. Reboot into recovery.

4. Flash supersu.

5. Enjoy

It's easier to use flashifly from play store on step 2 to install twrp

That means you've lost the temporary root and you will have to start the procedure again. If the process is too convulated, just leave it unrooted.

Ok so this thread is huge, anyone that's managed to root/install TWRP properly able to break it down easy? I can't do anything with the phone over ADB, it just says "waiting for device" or something.

I've rooted it with that kingroot, and I tried to flash a couple of different TWRP recovery images that are supposed to work with the phone (found in this thread and elsewhere via google, but despite flashing with flashify I can't boot into recovery - the phone still boots fine though.

It's pretty much just out of the box, could someone be so kind to point me in the direction of what TWRP to flash on it?

Also, once I've finally done all that, are there any marshmallow ROMs that work with this phone at all? Or any 'clean' LP ones?

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] femilovechild:
Not wanting to sound like a broken record, but there is a thread on Modaco based solely on rooting this phone. Go check it out. Secondly, there is no marshmallow or functional custom ROMs for this phone.

Try with flashify or uapm Google it

Enviado do meu Vodafone Smart ultra 6 através de Tapatalk
[General Questions and Answers] femilovechild:
Quick step again

1. Non problematic one, root with kingroot, mobilego, etc

2. Problematic ones, install framaroot, run it, it crashes, install and run kingroot.

3. Don't close kingroot after you've achieved temp root. Just click home, then either use terminal emulator or flashify to replace recovery with twrp. If you try terminal emulator and you don't get a prompt for root assess when you type su, you've lost temp root and need to start again.

4. If all goes well, reboot into recovery and install supersu from there.

5. Enjoy

Twrp No OS ;)

So i messed up a bit...

Vodafone Smart ultra 6

5.1.1

PT-PT Stock Rom

My phone had a stock rom PT-PT and I flashed a UK TWRP ROM, so far so good, but the moment the phone turns on I get the following message com.android.phone was interrupted and bam restart...

even when i was trying to get kingroot to work all the processes in the phone where having this sort of error, finally made it through to flash twrp anyway

I went back to TWERP tried data,system,cache wipes, reinstalled the rom again same thing all over again...

Decided to do a full wipe and that got me to a point where i got a warning about having no OS =O

So i messed around with adb and first i tried to push a PT-PT rom but i got binary updater error so i supose the rom was 5.02 ... I couldnt find the 5.1.1 twrp PT-PT rom so I gave it a shot with the same UK one that gave me the "com.android.phone interrupted"

guess what no errors rom installed sucessfuly and when i boot i get a crash and a reboot when i reach the configuration screen, went back to adb and now i was like a hound looking at the percentage to see what went wrong!

Turn out adb is only loading the file up to 60% and Twrp is recognising that as a good install and moves on...

So i wonder if there is any way i can work this out, I have no SD card only internal storage but ultimately i could get one if that allows me to load the rom properly but if i could avoid it by making adb fully load the file or something else enterely new that'd be great! ^^
