Hi all,

 

Anyone know if this is a trusted site? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/10-Vowney-V5-Clear-Screen-Protector-protective-film-for-Vowney-V5-screen-protector-forVowney-V5-free/1660018029.html

 

I need some screen protectors for my Vowney V5 but they seem to be out of stock, or unavailable, everywhere I look except for the website I posted the link to.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

[Guest James Horny]

Yes, the price is really much better(373 €) compared to Nibiru's 147 €.

[Guest dakok]

Sorry for late respond, I'm not from China

:D although I wish that sometimes when

looking at low prices of some fine phones.

Chinatronic is excellent store but I think

there are several sellers with that name at aliexpress. The real one has great ratings and advertises itself as "real chinatronic store" or something like that...

[Guest James Horny]

It seems to me that they make things sometimes very difficult in China.

 

In your previous post you mentioned 

K-Touch Nibiru H1 90% $199

5"|8x1.7GHz|2-16GB|13MP|2000mAh|3G@900MHz

from Chinatronic.

In the link this Chinatronic advertises "Only Store No.412402 is Official Chinatronic"

 

Who knows?

[Guest dakok]

That's the one. You can tell by seller

ratings. Check the bad ones and what they are really about. If the number of satisfied customers is huge and the number of meaningful complaints is low then you have the good seller

well ive made the jump to another phone thought my vowney v5 was getting a bit long in the tooth, well I have gone for the coolpad 7320 and it arrived Friday , and installed all my apps and got it as my main phone now , and I have to say so far I am impressed , quick pro and cons below

 

pro

fast 8 core so should be no lag

1280/800 res very sharp and very crisp screen/ touch very responsive

13m camera yes very nice

light weight

battery life ( early days but looks like the 2500mah is enough for most users to last the day)

cost £80 lot of phone for money

gps tried with co pilot and had lock in side house within 30 seconds, and accurate when on motorway at speed.

playstore installed and already rooted

gel cases and leather cases available also screen protectors are cheap

 

against

size 5.5inch will not be for everyone , says its 7.9mm thickness but is more like 9mm

data usage force closes

some Chinese apps which I have mange to remove mosr with mobile uncle

not stock rom came with coolpads mui preinstalled , but I like most of the changes but some I don't.

whats app works but cant get whats app pro to work

[Guest Sere83]

Just curious - why didn't you go for the F1?

Price? 5.5" screen? Something else?

[Guest dakok]

@Sere83 - how did you get it? Invitations or some other way? How much did you pay for it?

Is it China or "overseas" model?

I went for the coolpad 7320 due to 5.5 inch screen and the overall spec for £80cant go wrong and I've not found any major bugs , but I am trying to find a recover.IMG file so I can add cwm and do a backup, I will do some pics later but there are some videos on YouTube which give you a good idea about the phone.

It's the official international version, I won the invite in a competition, already have a nexus 5 but when I got the invite in my email just thought it was too good to miss ;-). I paid £273 shipped here in the UK. And the best part....it arrived in 1 DAY!!! I went to check the tracking the day after I ordered and the delivery had already been signed for by my mum at home!

You can try with this extra short guide I made here - it's a recovery builder based on Carliv's

touch recovery.

Use chrome translator for the guide...

Is that the restaurant that you booked for when we all arrive over? :D

[Guest dakok]

You missed 1000 Km or so and ended up in Russia :D

 

This is where you'd have a meal.  

I might book something like this...
