    Where's the coffee?

    I'm boycotting MickeyD's as it were, service is so crappy that I finally got fed up and stopped going there Apr 2014. I get the occasional craving, but its rare (and kinda terrifying). As to the rest of y'all, thanks for the welcomes, I'll pop in now and then obviously.

    Lock screen time glitch (and other glitches)

    Phone: Cubot Note S (hey, can we get a profile option of Cubot, or at least 'generic Chinaphone'?) running stock launcher and 5.1. Ok, big one here is that as of this morn I realized that the time on my lock screen is wrong. Not sure when this happened, but I'm fairly certain that it'd been...

    Cubot Note S initial impressions

    Ok, figured I'd review this, and since there's no section for Cubot nor apparently a miscellanious Chinese section, I guess I'll put it here and leave it to the experts to figure out where it goes. So, got this about a week or so ago from Everbuying.net as a replacement for my problematic...

    Where's the coffee?

    Nods, "Gotcha, prolly just skip then. I was thinking of writing a longer review there, and keeping it lean and mean here, while providing a link for those interested in the long story."

    Where's the coffee?

    Its late, but I think I'm in danger of developing a bloodstream. Ok, 'nuff silliness. Found my way here again, for the umpteenth time, could've sworn I have an account, but apparently not. My profile succinctly covers who I am, but not what I'm using (why there no Cubot phones in the profile?)...

    please help! Chinese phone only has 1 issue!

    I've been having a similar problem, though Google's Messenger program that I've added has been more helpful at pointing me to the problem. According to it, my SMS SIM isn't set, though it is, for some reason the phone isn't seeing the setting until I reconfirm it (having similar problems with...

    Why is my battery life draining insanely fast?

    You too? In my case, just picked up a Cubot Note S (so far, so great), and while not as bad as yours, you can practically watch the battery level drop. This wouldn't be notable, ifn it didn't have a bigger battery than my last phone and I'm using both the same. I think Cubot is aware of the...

    can i root my phone to change what network frequency it picks up?

    Well, that is a fine how do you do. Ok, lets start with the basics, what cell company are you using here in the US? Basically any Chinese phone you buy is going to be limited to the GSM companies, AT&T, T-Mobile, and some of the VMOs out there. If you have one of those, it should work albeit...
