limpid Posted August 24, 2015 Administrator Share Posted August 24, 2015 It's nothing to do with Android. Take it to a repair shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted August 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2015 So I'm on my Nexus 6 now. Not sure on it yet, may send it back. It looks nice, the screen is incredible but 6 inch... It's just too damn big. I have larger than normal hands, and I'm struggling to use it one handed. Maybe I need to give it time as I did come from a Z3 Compact.

Yeah give it a few weeks and you'll be fine. It's a hell of an adjustment but you will get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 27, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2015 Found out that the SMS app I use ("hello") has been stealth spamming my contacts. Basically it adds a load of shit to the end of your messages. A link to the app and some shite about where you sent the text from, even though I've de-selected the option to send links to contacts. I've changed as a result. Very sneaky. I'm sure it was probably something that I accepted as part of an update so I'm sure TECHNICALLY I only have myself to blame. But still, might be one to avoid.

I sent it back already Got a LG G4 for the same price, it's supposed to be a much better phone anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, why would you use anything but hangouts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 27, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2015 You know what? I don't know. I did use it when I first got the Nexus 5. There was a legitimate reason why I didn't like it so I changed to Textra and then subsequently to hello. But I can't for the life of me remember what the reason was. I'll set it as my default SMS app and try it again and see if I can remember (or preferably I won't remember and it'll be fine ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 27, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 27, 2015 Thinking about it, I think it was because I didn't like texts and "hangouts" (i.e. gmail chats and G+ hangouts) all coming through to the same place. At that time people were actually using those things with me. But nobody uses them anymore (with me anyway) so that probably won't be a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Installed this today: http://moboclean.com/ You select an app, then it reinstalls it with a "wrapper" that gives complete control over its permissions. It seems very good so far. Might an option for Stevo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Can you get it sim free? I assume not? Also, other than the average battery life, the Smart Ultra 6 I picked up has been **** brilliant. Still can't believe I only paid £125. Might go and pick up another before Vodafone realise it's been a mistake on their end. More importantly, how much to lift the network lock? Sorry, didn't see this until now. The unlock code cost me £3 off eBay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
