Guest Daniel Meah Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Does it work direct from market? or does it need the cracked version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankish Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Market version should work fine as the G300 is an armv7 phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Daniel Meah Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Okay cool thanks;. Also can anyone confirm a presense of a HSUPA chip? downside to the blade was the lack of HSUPA (Fast upload speeds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest punjabi Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hi Daniel Just to add to the above you'll need to install Flash from Google Play as well but this is straight forward!! (No crack needed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RussellS Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 As it happens I've just been watching 'Have I Got News For You' on BBC iPlayer on the G300. Just download the iPlayer app and Adobe Flash both from the Android market and away you go. No cracks needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dragpyre Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Okay cool thanks;. Also can anyone confirm a presense of a HSUPA chip? downside to the blade was the lack of HSUPA (Fast upload speeds) Yup, this phone does Flash natively, and BBC iPlayer works excellently with no stutters; I have watched Have I Got News For You, Doctor Who and Russel Howard's Good News on it so far. Also, as for HSUPA, yes it does have it, speeds up to 5.76Mbps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Daniel Meah Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I dont think that site is too reliable. For example it says the blade has HSUPA. where it does not http://www.gsmarena.com/zte_blade-3391.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Davidoff59 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Most networks restrict upload speeds to prevent peer to peer sharing and the like. One way of testing it would be on wifi I imagine. Take the network provider out of the equation and you will know for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Frankish Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Its set to test in bits. Set it to test in kilobytes and it come out at 41.... Edited May 11, 2012 by Frankish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only t-mobile and sometimes vodafone do this (And orange) and no that wont be a way of testing. as wifi is completely different to 3G.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
