Vodafone Smart Ultra 6

malachi · 23 Mar 2017 at 15:16

So I haven't used my SU6 in a while. Tried to use it and I cant get into my phone because of the Android device lock out. The last Google account I used on the phone I don't remember and it wont accept my details for my current Google account.

Phoned Google, they cant do anything and suggested I take to Vodafone to have the firmware flashed. Is there a way I can do this myself? Done it plenty of times with other phones but with this model seems difficult as its not a popular phone everyone has.

If you do a factory reset you get to input your Google account.Have you tried that with your new details ?

Been into Vodafone, they cant do anything because it was from Amazon. This phone is now discounted on Amazon, so they have given me a refund for £125.

Question is, what phone do I buy for the same price? SU7?

Think you'll have to look at a Chinese import or add a bit of cash and go forva Moto G4

The new Moto G5 is looking good. I might add a bit of cash and get one of those.

I wouldn't mind a Chinese import but its the warranty what puts me off.

Lenovo P2 looks interesting but a bit more expensive and only from 3 but I've read they come unlocked.Android 7 update expected soon

My second su6 has gone the same ad the first! There a vertical section of the screen that won't work do I can't press the comma or back key and the S is very hit or miss. Thankfully Amazon have said they will refund/replace but there's nothing I fancy really and with this going faulty twice I'm edging away from a Chinese phone...

Not quite,£209 inc £10 top up against £125....2 years ago.
It's great only having to charge every 3 or 4 days as against every night
