Quick question and slightly off topic, I have the option for Back up my data ticked but every time I have done a factory reset or put on a new rom and I log back on to my Play account it dose not restore wifi passwords, I know Google don't offer a service the same as iCloud(I wish they did) but I thought that I wouldn't have to retype in my wifi passwords.


Is this because it's a Chinese phone? or is it the same for all Android phones?

Thanks

Well my P8000 as finally turned up - just unboxing it, hope it was worth the 3+ months wait (Express Delivery option you say!)

3 Months is a fucking piss take.

That is awful I'm about to get rid of mine too many little annoying things for me and I'm going to order the be touch 2 no doubt that will have something to annoy me as well though

[tips]

I've been fiddling about with the phone for the past 3 hours (as you do), sticking all my apps on and any external data that is required.

Just noticed that it is reporting 6 hours to fully charge (from currently at 25%) - I'm sure I read that it had a fast charging adapter when I bought it, somthing like 90 mins to fully charge and some sort of quick boost charge. Any ideas?

Look at the plug bit that goes into the mains. Regular charger is 1000mA (might be displayed as 1) fast charger is between 2100 - 2500. I got the slow one too. Was a few quid to get a fast charger/plug. Using the same wire makes no difference.

I contacted them and got the reply that the Manufacturers now only supply the 2A version with the EU Plug. Fat lot of good that is to me. The Cuntors.

Just move to France you moaning cunt ;-)

Don't listen to David Cameron's cock sucker. If you move to France you will have to put up with the French. A fate worse than.. well having a slow charger for a start!

Just get one of these. (">

Could do with some pointers before my brain caves in from too much choice. Was going to get a Motorola G4 (3rd gen) from Tesco until they removed the clubcard double points. If I am going to pay cash for a phone I believe that I can get more bang for my buck by going for a Chinese phone... but what to go for. Wasn't really looking for something bigger than 5" but it seems there is a better spec available in the latest 5.5" models so may have to consider one of those.

Trouble is there are too many options and some of the reviews are contradictory on some of the features. For example one review said the fingerprint scanner on the Elephone p8000 was troublesome while another reported no problems. Some have more memory or faster processors. Some have gorilla glass for added peace of mind. Some have 720p display some 1080p (do I really need 1080p on that size screen?).

Not going to be using it for gaming. Just a phone with internet use such as ebay or facebook to keep tabs on my selling or buying and some youtube videos. Decent camera would be handy as well. Will be on the 3 network which has good 4G coverage so would be a pity not to have 4G, although I think most have these days anyway.

Been looking at the Ulefone be touch 2, the Oukitel U8, and the Elephone P8000. Would appreciate some views on these and any others that are worth considering. What I'm basically asking is: if you were buying a new phone at this point in time what would you go for with a price tag of £100 to £150. (">
