[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ru77ell:
I think Elephone underestimated the amount of pre orders they would receive and are shipping first to customers the purchased the S7 directly from them rather than stocking resellers.

I know Gearbest have the Black 4gb/64gb in stock - about 190 pieces left - for $229 as mine has just been shipped.

As for the other colours/configurations I'm not sure. However I do know the Blue 4gb/64gb is due in stock at both Gearbest & GeekBuying on the 11th Dec as I've spoken to them both.

I originally wanted a the Blue version but didn't want to wait until the new year to get the phone in my hands as it's a Xmas gift to myself ;) (which I do every year) so I changed my order to the Black one which should be here by mid Dec.

So the moral of the story is if you want an S7 ASAP go check out the Black version at Gearbest.
[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] InsGdt76:
The thing that really annoys me with GearBest is that they stated a shipping date when you pre-order, but clearly haven't secured the stock to do so. Now when contacted, they know they don't have stock, but won't admit to it. Instead it is "please wait 1 or 2 days more". Honesty goes a long way. I wonder if the other resellers got stuck with this too.

I'd be interested to know when your one arrives.

Mine is now marked as shipped. but I think GearBest are playing games again. If I go to DHL I can see a shipping label has been printed but the parcel hasn't actually been picked up from GearBest. Having worked in a number of companies closely associated with large despatching operations, I can't see why you would tell DHL (a priority shipping service) there is a parcel to pick up, then leave it sitting in Despatch for over 24 hours. . . More games.
[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ru77ell:
My personal opinion is that Elephone hasn't delivered (so far) on it's promises to resellers. With the S7 looking like its going to be Elephones biggest ever seller - by far, I do think they gave all major resellers the same original delivery date and have struggled to ramp up production. I think this is the case as I've spoken to eFox, Geekbuying, Gearbest and Dealsmachine and they have all initially said they would deliver in late November and now they all all saying mid December.

I'll certainly post here when it arrives, although I went with standard delivery rather than DHL so not expecting it for a few weeks.

This is nothing new for Gearbest and is the reason I chose not to go with DHL, I've ordered a few products via this method with GB and its always taken 3-4-5 days from getting my tracking info for my package to physically enter DHLs system - I've also been hit with import tax a few times which has never happened to me with other shipping companies.

Finally, I hope your receive your device quickly and with no issues, be sure to keep us updated with the situation :)

Regards
[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] InsGdt76:
So the plot thickens. . . .

Using the tracking information I could see that DHL got a shipping notification on the first day . . . . then everything stopped. I have had a lot of things shipped via DHL and other courier services and it is very unusual for a priority service to not update for 24 hours plus.

GearBest via support tickets and LiveChat, just kept telling me to wait 2 more days, wait 3 days for an investigation, wait 2 days for tracking information etc etc etc.

I ended up doing my own investigation by calling DHL on their local contact centre.

Result?

Singapore Customs were holding the phone with concerns that it contained hazardous materials. Specifically the DHL operator questioned whether the phone was a Samsung Galaxy Note 7. I suspect that the designs are so similar that Customs may be mis-identifying these units when x-raying them, as Note 7s are banned from all carriers. As GearBest are the shippers only they can update the shipping information to get it released.

So I contacted GearBest again and twice got "please wait 3-4 days for an investigation". I got a bit stroppy with them at this point and just got a notification through from DHL that the parcel appears to be moving again.

So if you see your Elephone S7 stop moving for an extended period of time on DHL. Start questioning it.
[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ru77ell:
Thanks for the update.

It makes me wonder if Gearbest are writing 'S7' on the documentation and that's what caused the delay?

Also once the parcel has entered the shipping system there's not really too much Gearbest can do to help hurry to process along, unless its a documentation issue - But can see why this can be annoying.

Anyway, glad your package is in the move again, hope you get it soon.

Mine has just left HK airport so hoping it'll be arriving at the UK sorting centre in the next few days with no customs issues.......fingers crossed!
[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FunkiBluDawg:
I ordered my S7 64GB via Gearbest on Oct 21, was delivered on 28th Nov to UK.

Given that 22nd Nov was the date which GB said the stocks will arrive, it was pretty fast delivery.

I shipped via Priority Mail some Â£1-2 extra & there was no customs charges.

(Using the 'courier shipment' option is known to attract customs charges. Best of luck.)
[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] InsGdt76:
It was a documentation issue. SG Customs held it until the shipper (GearBest) finally contacted them to update the shipping information. They only did this after sitting on the issue for a week of me getting increasingly agitated with the "Please wait" responses from GearBest.
[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] InsGdt76:
What spec and colour did you order? Apparently Elephone were very late delivering sufficient stocks of the Blue 64GB version and others.
[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FunkiBluDawg:
Mine was 64 GB, Black.
[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] InsGdt76:
Thought it might have been. The black has been in stock most of the way through.
[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] InsGdt76:
I finally have my hands om my 64GB Blue model and I am quite impressed so far. Usually with Chinese electronics I purchase there always seems to be some quirk or weird behaviour that takes the gloss off the product. After 24 hours, I've yet to find one.
[Elephone S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FrankKrue:
I preordered a green version, but it seems there are production troubles. This morning gearbest sent me a mail:

So, nobody knows when the green version will come out,

and after all the troubles with touchscreen, gps, no source code released i choose the refund. If the situation improve i'll buy it again.

Is it possible to add a CID in a RUU.zip?

I have a bricked phone without oem rebootRUU working, so I was trying to flash a zip RUU. I tried to replace a random one but it gives me error

My college is the most restrictive college in the world. They block almost every site and social media thingy. There is no way to bypass this as they also block every port except 80 and 443 so proxies don't work. Even openVPN's wont work for some reason. I am now at the stage of hacking into the router and editing the settings. The only issue is I cannot connect to it via the default gateway. It must be connected to by ethernet, and I am not going to break into the IT building and hacking it there. Please help as at the moment i am between a rock and a slightly harder rock. If this is the wrong forums please direct me to another so I can get help. I desperately need this. Thanks in advance! :)

[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] Rhine Septimus:
Hey guys I want to know how much of your battery drains in Standby time? In my Redmi 3 it drops 2% per hour no matter which ROM I'm using. Same in Miui, Cm based ROMs. charge also drops 2% per hour even if my phone is switched off.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] jokerpappu:
i am using miui 8 from gkalen.and standby drain is 3% per 7-8 hours. maybe you should change your battery and see if that helps or use some apps that shoe detailed battery stats so that you know whats eating the battery
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] Rhine Septimus:
I think my battery is faulty. Faced same issue on every ROM.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] jokerpappu:
yes i think so too so change the battery and see if that helps you out.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers] tiddo:
I think that redmi 3's batteries are just low quality ones. I have it from February and now (with CM13 RC1) it lasts lesser than before.

Now when I unplug the phone, I reach 80% like nothing with just 45 minutes SoT. Before I was used to do almost 1h SoT/10%

Sorry for my bad English ?

I have Sony Xperia c5 ultra dual. It was bought in nov2015. Right from the beginning the problem I am facing is that some of the photos I clicked, when viewed later gets greyed.

I have given it for support center, done a repair through pc repair. But nothing helped.

Please help me in solving this. I have to delete many of such photos unwillingly

This thread is not dedicated to any specific case , this for any case you want to share your experience with it.

For me after trying too many cases , expensive from known brands and cheap ones , I found this case from Ali express "Original MSVII Coque For Huawei Ascend P9 "

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...32693283790.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.oOgFaQ

Perfectly designed for the P9 , very sleek design ,comfortable , too much light and slim ,and too many colors to choose from . I highly recommend this case for protection and design . I choose the fashion black one , look amazing with my grey P9 , now my phone totally black and sexy .

and it is only 4.5 $ .

This my feedback for this case , check other feedbacks from the link above , it take 5 stars ( 4.9 out of 5 ) from 136 feedbacks

these some pictures for the case

Please share experience with your preferred case
[Huawei P9 Accessories] kepu01:
I agree. I have blue, black, grey, matt and frosted versions. Excellent case, frosted is like very fine sand paper like feeling, excellent grip. Matt is like a baby skin smooth. Fits like a glove, side buttons very nicely usable and ports easily connectable. I highly recommend.
[Huawei P9 Accessories] telkmar:
Though this post looks like a big ad for those cases, I have to admit that I have one and it's quite awesome!
[Huawei P9 Accessories] spring80:
best combo for me,this case along with this screen protector
[Huawei P9 Accessories] dgcruzing:
I went with this one and so far it's working fine..

I actually did the "o ****, flying phone' the other day and it bounced and not a scratch in it and no cracks on the screen or cover..so it's proved it's worth already..

The kick is handy but I also find that helps with holding the phone in one hand..

Also I use charging dock during the day and it works fine with those too..

Charging dock used..
[Huawei P9 Accessories] warface:
I've got that one with the kick stand for my P9, but it was too slippy in the hand.

I use a Ringke Fusion on mine.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Mobile-P...UTF8&qid=1483608177&sr=8-1&keywords=ringke+P9

Not too slippy, the corners are protected nicely, and it has a lip all the way around the front, so you can put your phone face down and the screen wont touch the desk etc.

I like the covers on the headphone and USB port too. Stops fluff from your pocket getting in there!

Lenuo case

I really missed my product (RED) leather case, that I had on the iPhone 5, so I found something similar.

This is a case by Lenuo, and they also have a flip-version of it. I'm currently very happy with it :)

[Huawei P9 Accessories] Z-Blade:
I got this case off eBay Australia, its bargain for $6.99 but stay away from the tempered glass, its crap and does not even cover the screen. This case has no lip for the display so a tempered glass that actually cover the full screen is highly recommend.

What's your opinion?

What is your experience with this Pierre Cardin cover? I had one for my LG G3 and i loved it.

Is the fingerprint sensor easily accessible???

Please let me know.
[Huawei P9 Accessories] n0my:
So far so good. Still waiting for the worn out look :)

I think if the finger print sensor was crap on P9, then this cover wouldn't be good. Because when I first looked at the case in my hand, I thought that the finger print sensor won't be able to read enough of my finger print when unlocking. But P9's finger print sensor is really good and works 100% with this case.

The finger print cutout is right in the center and precisely cut.

I wouldn't recommend this case to someone who drops their phone a lot because some areas are not protected by this case. The front facing top and bottom edges of the phone.

But this isn't a problem for me, I rarely drop any phone.

Let me know if you want to know more.
[Huawei P9 Accessories] Braggus:
Thanx for your reply. I luckily also drop my phone rarely so that's nothing to worry about. I'm about to order one when i'm at home.

Been using the Otterbox Acheiver Case for the last couple of weeks. I use my phone when hiking with OS Maps so wanted something robust.

It is very good, and easier to take on and off than previous Otterbox Commuter cases, but they have not included plugs for the charger and headphone ports this time. A minor gripe. The phone will still survive a drop onto rocks as long as the case takes the hit and not the screen!

thanks
[Huawei P9 Accessories] TG09:
Still looking for a new case, got my phone a few weeks ago after upgrading from a Samsung S4, are people on this forum still using P9?
[Huawei P9 Accessories] twe69:
Depends on the type of case you want.

I just received 2 more cases, total of 3, and I love this case: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172258598399

It is leather but very luxurious, about £15.80. Only one thing is the bottom side slightly open.
[Huawei P9 Accessories] TG09:
Cheers I will take a look. Wont be using Ebay, cost of getting it delivered to NZ is expensive. I will look on Aliexpress, also after a full screen protector. The glass one I got the other day, does not fill the whole screen.
[Huawei P9 Accessories] Akinaro:
Actually none of available screen protectors cover whole screen of devices with rounded edges(2.5D screens). Especially glass one. Some of them cover bigger area but still its not edge-to-edge.

And its not only P9 problem, but all devices with such screen. I found only few screen protectors that cover whole screen from edge to edge, but they are not actually so "protective", they are made from really thin plastic-like material that look really bad and feel like it could fall of really easily. It cover screen almost perfectly... but its not worth to use it.

As for case for P9... I use cheapest semi-transparent dark gel case I could find... and Im happy with it more than with leather one that I had.

Why?

It dont make phone bulky. Phone with it still have about 8mm thickness. and look nice.

It dont make phone look like wallet or some ugly block of leather/plastic that you need to open every time you want to use it.

Semi-transparent dark version look really nice and still show some details of P9 that should be visible(after all its damn good looking device)

Its cheap to replace(1-2 Euro)

And because its gel case, it have more material in corners so in case of drop, it will absorb impact without damaging phone.

So keep it simple, keep it safe.

After long looking after a case, I have decided to use the Spigen one. Had problems to get it in UK due to some delays and constantly seeing "out of stock" info everywhere I was looking for, so I have ordered one in Poland and had it delivered same time as I had a family visit:

So far, after using it for 2 months, I am more than happy :)

P.S. Was looking after this one, but couldn't get it anywhere:
[Huawei P9 Accessories] austriker27:
I love the spigen case. It's soft to the touch so it's not slippery but also a hard shell for protection. The edges are perfectly chambered to fit in the hand and there's a lip to protect the screen when it's face down

Highly recommend the spigen case to any P9 users! It might be one of my fave cases ever

Hello,

I was running CM13 and tried to install the most recently nightly (1121) I believe. Mi5 shutdown to reboot and install but never turned back on. The screen stays blank no matter what button combination I use. When i boot up holding Vol+ and power, it is visible as a drive and I can browse the file system from my computer.

I have tried various unbrick methods with no success.

I have tried to flash the Chinese Dev rom and Global using XiaoMiFlash but i get an error (can not found file flash_all.bat)

I have tried recovering with PC Suite - but i get various errors saying it can't connect.

Doesn't recognize when i reboot in recovery mode (Vol+ and Power)

Says to connect in normal mode first when i reboot it fastboot mode (Vol- and Power)

(also tried Chinese version, but I cant read the errors.

Fastboot devices shows it connected. Is there another way to unbrick? I have read a bit about EDL method but see other people saying it permabricked phone so I am nervous to try. Any idea?
