Thinking of upgrading from my trusty ole s2 to one of these,but man ill miss cm so much idk if i can actually make the jump,been on cm from cm7 (gingerbread).ill keep eye out here and hope that some one smarter than me can come up with some cm 12.1 action :)

Even moving onto stock 5.0 su6 from an s2 is a big jump. You won't be disappointed.

I purchased one of these yesterday, Excellent phone, just wish there was support for it. I remember when the original ZTE Blade came out everyone was talking about it, it was extremely popular. The vast majority of people don't even know about this phone, little to no advertising or promotion.

Comparison with nexus 4?

Morning all, the power button on my nexus 4 is becoming very erratic so I am looking to effect a DIY repair.

In the meantime and because I will probably destroy the nexus with my repair 'skills', I am thinking of getting an Ultra 6 as a backup.

Has anyone who has used both got any observations?

My n4 still runs really well on 5.1.1 so its strange to contemplate a new phone that is stuck on 5.0.2!

Also, to confirm, do you need a vodafone sim before you can unlock it? I will need to use with Virgin Mobile in UK.
[General Questions and Answers] BigD18t:
You don't need a Vodafone sim, all you need is a code, and the sim you want to use , insert the sim and power on it will then ask for the code.

Can't comment on the comparison as I came from a lumia 830.
[General Questions and Answers] Dedzdedz:
A nexus is a nexus. But, the ultra 6 has a 3000 mAh battery, 13mpix camera, fHD display with 441ppi, it's light for it's size, supports SD card with 128gb, it is not a beauty compared to some other smartphones, still not ugly.

For the price you can get it you won't find any other with these specs i guess.

Bought it a two weeks ago, like it a lot, great deal.

[General Questions and Answers] Shachox:
I've been considering getting this phone for the last 2 weeks, been reading a lot about it. The only issue I see (for myself at least) is that seems to be stuck at 5.0.2.

I know that for the price it has amazing hardware and similar spec phones like Moto X Play (similar specs I said :P) is about twice the price, but you will get Android updates fairly quick.

Question is, how likely is for this phone to get 5.1 at least? I can't root it case of the banking apps.

[General Questions and Answers] Dedzdedz:
Question is, will you pay double the price for the updates? I heard we will get 5.1.1 at the end of september, don't know if that's true or not

I was never a fan of Cm roms, can't see why some phone manufacturers love them either, stock android always ends up more reliable, and the extra features really aren't that worth while.
[General Questions and Answers] Epicton:
Yeah tried but no luck. Thankfully, it resolved itself today. I got the SD card error when the battery was at ~50%. When I plugged it in, the phone seemed to acknowledge this but it still wouldn't turn on. I left it in charging overnight (two nights ago) but nothing happened.

Didn't charge it last night, plugged it in this morning but the phone seemed to be actually taking the charge. Turned it on and the battery was at 0%. Thanks for you help anyway, J.
[General Questions and Answers] lonespeaker:
I didn't say it was working. I said it was running and a couple of things weren't working. Only 1 other person has posted a CM build for this device and they used my rom with some config changes, so why's that? Id say it's because this device has ZERO interest in any real developers and here you are pissing off the only person to ever build CM for this device.

edit

I gave up on this device because of people being needy. I actually fixed sound and I'm sure camera would have been fixed eventually, but I couldn't be bothered anymore because of people attitudes and demands. so I moved on. now I'm tempted to compile CM13 and post pics just for kicks. (using the working camera)
[General Questions and Answers] jeromeof:
Would love to try CM13 and I promise not to complain about sound or camera not working :)

[General Questions and Answers] BlueMoonRising:
And kudos to you for getting it working (or running, there's actually no difference there and it's silly to claim otherwise) but if my post is 'pissing you off' then you must be a very sensitive person.

Now you 'claim' to have fixed sound all of a sudden (that was lucky hey?) and you're tempted to roll a CM13 build when you've already stated you have zero interest in carrying on with it? I call BS?

BTW, since you're a top developer can you explain how you're going to use the (suddenly fixed) working camera to take a shot of the screen? Are you going to hold it up to a mirror? You know you can take a screen shot don't you?

Just for clarification I'm happy with 5.1.1 and have certainly never been 'needy'.
[General Questions and Answers] lonespeaker:
I am, my kitten died recently. Have a funeral with 100 people soon.

I didn't claim I fixed it all of a sudden at all. What I said was I had sound fixed.

Here is the timeline. I released TEST1 with no wifi, no camera, no sound. Then I released TEST2 with wifi fixed. Then I received my oneplus2 and got excited about development of that and with the annoyance of people with this device decided to call it a day. I had sound fixed in my device/vendor tree's but never released a TEST3 because of a bootloop issue.

I gave the device away and about a month ago I got the device back with a broken screen and just put in a box because I use a oneplus2.

Now when I said roll out a CM13, I guess sarcasm and flippant humour is not something you can pick up on.

See, again you mention suddenly fixed camera. I didn't say the camera was fixed. Do I really need to spell everything out for you?

"now I'm tempted to compile CM13 and post pics just for kicks. (using the working camera)"

there is what I said. here it is translated :

IF I did compile CM13, I would do it just for the sake of it and to annoy people like you. To rub it it I would use the camera I would have fixed, to prove I had CM13 working (in some fashion) on the SU6.

and btw, I am not a top developer. I am simply someone who has a little knowledge on how to do these things. top developers is what this device needs.

Right fine, good for you. here's a medal.

Well i've now gotten up to your TEST2 build, wifi's working of a sort. Seems to go into go-slow-mode if i hammer my internet connection and it then stays that way until i stop hammering and switch wifi off/on. I'll take a closer look at that when i have time.

You mentioned trying to get sound working, was that for the microphone or the speaker? Audio playback of music seems to be working for me and 'OK Google' seems to get picked up, so thats nice.

CM-12.1 for ZTE/p839v55

Hi There.

For anyone adventurous enough I have a build of CM-12.1 for the SU6, its a very early days but it "works for me" build. So i figured its time to get some more eyes on it. Standard disclaimer applies: "Any warranty you still had is now void. I take no responsibility if your device get bricked".

Only attempt installation if you know what you are doing.

Rules

I will not answer any questions about getting root or installing recovery.

I will not be your personal google search assistant.

If you don't know what you are doing and you try installing this and have problems I will most likely ignore you.

Don't ask for anything remotely resembling an ETA, I will ignore you.

Now on to the fluffier stuff.

I had a build installed on my phone last night in airplane mode, there was 0% battery drain overnight, so that bodes well.

Things that work for me:

WiFi

sensors (magno, accel)

opengapps/pico

Things that don't quite work:

notification backlight ( you can poke values into bln/brightness to turn it on )

Things that don't work:

camera

remounting / rw

Things I can't test (no SIM)

phone

3g 4g

I'm not going to give detailed installation instructions, suffice it to say, its the usual:

TWRP backup before you start and keep it safe somewhere

wipe all

install zip.

install gapps

reboot

Download is here: ZTE-p839v55

My initial phone came with a UK build of 5.0.2, if your's is different I don't know if it'll work, you tell me.

There will be bugs, that is a given, if you find something get a logcat from boot up and provide a detailed description of what you did and what happened. Also any relevant /data/tombstones/* files might be useful.

I will update this post with links to the sources in a couple of days once it's cleaned up and committed.

If someone could look into getting us a dedicated xda forum then that would be great.

Thanks go to [MENTION=4368441]lonespeaker[/MENTION] [MENTION=3076261]lightwars[/MENTION], i wouldn't have gotten this far without their input. Cheers peeps :)

[General Questions and Answers] c0d3x42:
when booted into recovery afterwards did you have a look at the contents of /data? anything in there at all?

first guess would be a wiped 5.11 != 5.0.2.

ZTE's 5.1.1 update includes several firmware files, so might be related to that.

[General Questions and Answers] c0d3x42:
I've updated my SU6 to stock 5.1.1 and can confirm the same behaviour. I've tried rebuilding the kernel using ZTE's 5.1.1 source code and that also is failing to boot for me. So right now I'm not able to get cm12.1 to get past the kernel.

bugger.

also, I flashed the stock 5.1.1 boot.img and that's not passing "powered by android", nor is it responding to the power button being held down.
[General Questions and Answers] BlueMoonRising:
Have you tried restarting the phone? If not try [MENTION=4328284]LUNARIO[/MENTION] 's suggestion and go for a factory reset.

I Don't have a SIM in my phone so can't test it at all. This would also be the first ROM I've built from scratch and I'm still finding out what pieces go where and what they do.

On a plus note I've got it booting once again from a phone flashed with stock 5.1.1. Turns out ZTE changed the kernel OFFSET's, which i guess is in part of the bootloader updates that stock 5.1.1 installs.

[General Questions and Answers] owler69:
Do all three of us have the same issue with muting ??

My phone muted again today.....I have been connected to a Novera Carkit on and off for most of the day.

Do you connect to a BT device without having issues??

I have had the phone at an official Vodafone repair centre twice now and it still mutes. Funnily enough it was returned last Friday with a repair note saying the display was faulty........but with my protective screen still attached. In other words I don't think they did a thing to it. Fónua is the company, they are in Dublin and don't have the best reputation but it being under warranty I don't have a choice.

I was thinking it might be an app that was the problem but I haven't loaded any apps to see what will happen so the BT theory could well be right.

How do I know what software version BT do I have?? I did read that before the upgrade it should have been 4.0
