Trying to find a case and a tempered glass screen protector.

Vodafone Portugal sells the case (don't know if its a bumper case or not), and a plastic screen protector for 8€, still looking for the same stuff on ebay, but without any luck.

Although this device is similar to the ZTE Blade S6 Plus (Lux) the buttons positions are different, so, only cases for this model will work

Hello,

I also got this phone from Vodafone Spain, 135 euro, good price.

The only "bug" that bothers me is Wifi reception. My Xperia Z3 Compact connects to wifi networks while the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 also sees the same wifi networks but fails connecting or disconnects when walking around my house just three rooms of distance from the router.

Anyone else has experienced sketchy wifi reception with this cell phone? :confused:

You can change your boot animation, install a recovery and backup your current setup, you can remove any app.

Rooting a device is not just about custom ROMs, there is so much you can do once rooted.

My old phone had a 1850mA battery.. so rooted greenify and another xposed module to kill wakelocks were necessary. It was running android 4.4.2; I don't know if the rogue apps' wakelock problem has been solved in 5.0..

Because of 4.4.2 I also a module that changed the status bar to a more lollipop-like behaviour, which I find less distracting than kitkat's (I know, I know, it's a detail); Had a mod called decrapifier I think, and 3T toolbox that were both great and of course: titanium backup :D

To be honest I wasn't big on custom ROMs with that phone: I just wanted something stable that performed the tasks I needed.

Out of curiosity, have any of you tried taking notes in class or whatnot with the SU6 (5.5"!!) and an external keyboard? I'm considering getting a bluetooth keyboard for that effect instead of taking my laptop with me every time. Maybe a logitech k480 if I can find the bling for that.

[General Questions and Answers] lonespeaker:
Well I'm still stuck, I've got as far as CM booting fully but the screen is mostly blank with the occasional flicker of graphics here and there where the setup wizard should be displayed. I can adb shell etc and the phone doesn't crash anymore.

I only spend an hour or so on the days working on it so maybe I should dedicated more time lol My oneplus2 has been shipped finally (although stuck in china customs) so I might 'jump ship'.... I'm frustrated with this device, should be straightforward

to at least bring up and then work on the issues like sensors etc, but I dunno... with no one else working on it, might just cut my loses :(
[General Questions and Answers] corsav6:
I wouldn't blame you to be honest, its a great device but lack of support and seemingly lack of dev interest spoils things.

At least your moving to a nice device in the one plus 2, plenty of activity on the net for it.

Will you be working on the su6 until your new device arrives?
[General Questions and Answers] lonespeaker:
Yeah I'll still try and get something to work. kernels arent my strong point and this is where the issue is i think. I'm looking at other 615 chipset phones for inspiration now. we really need more interest, especially from the more experienced people but I don't think it will come for this phone sadly.
[General Questions and Answers] lonespeaker:
Just thought I'd leave this here (sorry for the image sizes) :)

It boots, camera, wifi, phone etc doesn't work but then it wouldn't because I haven't done any work on the sensors yet, but it boots, so now the fun begins.

oh and I don't even use the phone anymore, got my oneplus two now but I'm determined to get the su6 running cm12 cos I don't like being defeated lol

please don't ask for eta or a build 'cos you won't get a reply sorry :) I'm only posting because I want to show all is not lost.

Sometimes I press power and the lock screen is completely blank, save for the background image.

Sometimes I unlock to find one of the quick settings has been toggled (Hotspot on, flashlight on etc)

I cannot ever get a clean screenshot, i.e. without the volume changing and the slider appearing (I'd never had a problem on 4 other androids)

Sometimes clicking on a notification seems to dismiss it to go to the app in question, but the app never comes up.

And prob a few others things I can't think of. Nothing showstopping but it's definitely buggy.

I'm looking for some help. I've installed G-Stomper Studio music production app but it does not function properly. Even at its least power hungry settings there are audio crackles and distortion.

I've been in touch with the app developer and we've tried a few fixes but nothings worked. He assures me that the su6 spec should easily handle the app. He also assures me that other app users are not having similar problems

Can any I the su6 users try G-Stomper Studio and let me know how they get on?
[General Questions and Answers] negentropy:
I haven't tried this software, however have been using my S6U constantly for audio output, and have to say that the sound quality this phone currently outputs is lame. Lots of distortion and aliasing, with a hissy, tinny mid-range bias that's hard to EQ out, and occassional strange reverb / delay effects. With high quality media you can tune it to sound half-OK, but with lower quality sounds it just highlights all their issues; aliasing, compression, and any distortion; seriously, the pops and crackles on vinyl sources really pop out. Vocals often sound particularly distorted, but you also hear it in pianos, percussion etc.

Of all the music players i tried, Poweramp seemed to best compensate the audio gremlins, but it still ain't great.

Dunno if it's hardware or software related but hopefully it's patched for 5.1...

G-Stomper App

Thanks for the input. I would interested to know if the app works on other SU6s so then I'll know if mine is faulty. Below is the link, it is the demo version, free to install.

G-Stomper

Hey guys - so this app is booting but I cannot get any decent quality audio out of it, the developer behind this app has been in contact and reckons the SU6 is unable to access all the cores, only one, here is his comment:

For me it somehow sounds, that the JVM (java virtual machine) instance (each app has an own one) where G-Stomper runs, has only access to a single cpu core.

Has anyone got 5 mins to download G-Stomper Demo from Google Play to see if they have the same problem on their SU6?

Any news [MENTION=4368441]lonespeaker[/MENTION] ?
[General Questions and Answers] DMS22:
Hi all, i am looking to get the su6 and was wondering what the audio is like via the jack. I have an old galaxy player 5.0 which i use to listen to music with, its getting a bit old now and limited to 32g of storage. So i was hoping the su6 would be a good replacement. It will be mainly used for music and also used as a gps for walking which i hope I can use the old mm tracker app. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] BlitterTwisted:
Audio is perfectly decent. I have an SU6 and an iPhone 6 (the iPhone is my daily driver). The audio quality on the SU6 isn't quite up to the standard of the iPhone, but that's with back to back comparisons. Listing to the SU6 on it's own, it's pretty good. I own hifi gear so have a reasonable idea of sound quality.

The big annoyance for me when using the SU6 for music is that stock Android has really outdated Bluetooth support so my car integration doesn't work properly. Music plays and there's back/next buttons but other phones will let you browse your library and playlist all on the car screen. Apparently big brands like HTC and Samsung address this problem but you don't get this with the SU6.
