having just got the new landrover s1 for tic-tac and me has any anyone else got one yet? and have you had any problems with it?
the first two i got one wouldn't charge up and the other one squealed when you made a call? good news is the shop exchanged them straight away so all is good now. and we like's um!
wot do you thinks about um then? :-k
ALSO only available on orange net work and I spoke with orange and they say that they wont be offering them on any contracts at all they only available through third party company's and for a limited time only. wot's that all about?
-
No idea, but i got mine yesterday in the post!
Had no bother at all with it :D
Think its the dogs danglies :D
-
Got mine ages ago Minty ;) lol oh yes I told ya didnt I lol hehehe
Got admit does have a couple of niggly problems
People are telling me that when they ring me the speaker is very echo`y and I find the bluetooth can be a right pain to connect with others
And how annoying is it not to be able to send mms on it... cant see the point in the camera without that option IMHO..
but like everything else landrover it was made to be broken !
-
ages ago??? :-k have found the games yet :doh: :lol:
-
I've had one for over a month ;-)
Not a bad phone and can survive a pint of beer and being used as a ball in a game of rounders lol
-
;) lol well ive had mine a week sunday lol
thanks to minty and yoshi ive now got the gps thingy to track my phone and friends location heheh no more hiding from the F.P.O anymore
at this minute i can track yoshi to mc donalds drive through ordering 15 big macs lol
still very nice indeed
:shock: there are games??? :roll:
-
hhhhmmmm not so much mcdonalds lol, and me phone was at home lol
-
hhhhmmmm not so much mcdonalds lol, and me phone was at home lol
lol you cant hide now dan :) i have the map to prove it lol
-
Can you download GPS tracks to something like Memory Map, and upload routes to it? Can it handle waypoints?
-
i am sure i read somewhere that you can upload o/s maps to for laneing. :P
games are the applications Keith you have to load um onto the phone seems a bit messy tho! :?
-
My s1 has gone back battery only lasts 2 days hope the new one is better !
I had the maps but can you download them to the phone insteed of being on the net all the time?
-
LOL had the same problem Dave, except i contacted Sonim directly and they are sending me a new battery!
Its on the thread i started earlier about wishing all companies were like this! lol
-
Well have emailed the fella at Sonim.
He says if there is a problem ring them on 00800 5225 5227 (its through to america) as the retailers arent logging which parts are faulty and as such Sonim dont know there maybe a bigger problem with the battery!
But that number is good for all other faults as well.
-
Sounding slightly less than useful at the moment! :shock:
If it could run Memory Map then I could see the point, otherwise I'm not sure it would be particularly useful to me.
-
Shop gave me a new battery but it seems the same 1/2 a day and down one bar already.
Is yours fine now with the battery sonim sent you?
-
Not received it yet, it was only yesterday that i contacted Sonim lol
Will let you know when it arrives. Although the fella said having gps and bluetooth switched on makes a hell of alot of difference.
-
There both off mate i thought it may have been that. The phone really is not that good but its so good to be able to go kayaking, sailing without the normal worry of a phone getting damp.
Not sure what to do at the min get a full replacement phone try that.
Yoshi please let me know how you get on with your battery if its that.
A mate had the same thing with a lg phone he got a new battery but it was the phone that was the problem not the battery. I'm on the second battery so may well be the phone.
-
Aye, well at least i am not the only one with this problem!!
But it should be with me within a week, its coming from America and i cant see them using a priority airmail service! lol
-
I only charged mine when I got it .... and it's only used one bar - and that is in over a month :o
..and last night we proved that you can ring it in a pint of 1664 - bit quiet but it did make the beer bubble when it vibrated, then we threw it at a wall and Frank kicked it around a bit. Tough bit of kit!
-
So it looks like it might just be a bad batch of batteries or something then!
Thats handy to know!
-
My wife is taking it back today to get another one hope thats OK !!! Changing the hole phone as the speaker was crap as well "not very loud"
As you say hope its just a bad batch as getting a bit fed up with it now.
-
Well i must admit that mine has been fine apart from the battery issue!
-
My wife has taken it back, this morning it run out off life and would not charge again. I had to ring orange for a fault code. She has now got the new phone so i will charge it when i get back from work and hope that the new one is fine.
Yoshi can you take note of the battery size volt/mah for me please see if there the same and of the new one you get. Thanks
-
I've got the sonim xp3 enduro a very basic phone[no camera of radio etc]phone but very good for calls and texting and much cheaper than the s1.Looks the same apart from it don't have landrover stamped on it.
They make one called xp3 quest which is the s1 again without saying lr on it and i would think its cheaper too
-
They had that one in the shop i had the sp1 one from but it does not have the camera and maybe some other bits on it. Looked just the same and was £50 cheaper.
-
Right the phone seems fine so far but they changed the Sim card so now it will not regester shop blame orange and orange blame the shop.
But it works fine with my other card in it :D
-
I'll be sending all this feedback back, if that makes sense :)
-
Makes perfect sense.
I have also been telling this fella at Sonim about these problems and he says he is logging them!
-
Orange say they have sorted the card and it should come on line in the next 24hours.
This phone seems fine though, as said must be a bad batch.
-
Had mine about a month now the only problem i had was when i left the gps on and it took my battery out from full charge within 1-2 days,switched off gps and the battery lasts for over a week :-k.
-
I must say I was keen to have one of the Land Rover phones but after seeing all the troubles you've had with them so far, I'm gonna hold back and see how you guys get on.
I was impressed with the one Thrasher has but thats the only one I've heard of thats been as described, there must be others I'm sure but until they've had their faults ironed out I'm gonna hold fire.
-
They had that one in the shop i had the sp1 one from but it does not have the camera and maybe some other bits on it. Looked just the same and was £50 cheaper.
A 2 mega pixel camera is not great loss, a lot of current phones have way better cameras than that.
-
Dave have ya took any pics with it yet?
If ya haven't stop messin about and take some cos I wanna see what there like! :roll:
-
Yes mate took some in wales at the mo and guess what can't get the phone software to work :roll: i will sort them out when i get back mate phone seems ok now but orange still not sorted the card what a nightmare
Wish id had the i phone :lol:
-

-

One thing Karlo if the sun is out you can't see the screen at all. If i was you mate wait till you have had a play with this one before you get one dude then you will know for sure ;)
-
:'( mines going back now the speakers have give up the ghost on it now might aswell use 2 cups and a long peice of string it would be clearer
-

I just thought I would have a look at one while I was out and about, when are you back dude, I'll be back tomorrow?
-
Back now dude but on nights at the dump tonight for 4.
-
Well, end of day 2 and its still got 4 bars and i have been using it just as much as before!
-
Fingers crossed mate hope its ok now. My new one seems fine now
-
So
Are all your phone OK now ? as SWMBO said I can have one :clap: just don't want to get something thats no good & has anyone got memory map loaded onto it yet ?
Also she has found somewhere thats giving a free laptop with it (subject to contract of course), but need new contract now anyway so can give laptop to my daughter :-k
Thanks in advance
John

Some people are still having bother, but mine with the new battery in it still hasnt used a bar and i have been using the phone!
Just when you get it, dont switch it on, just plug it in over night to charge while switched off, and that should set the battery up right!
My first battery i had it switched on, but charging when i first got it, but that might be the problem.
-
John what i would say to you is if you need a phone that will bounce and is waterproof go for it. If these two thing are not high on you needs then really don't bother there are so many much better phones out there.
As someone else said I'm thinking of getting a nice phone and just using this for trips, kayaking, sailing and the like "Expensive lesson". The ruggedness of it suits me but i could not say its a great phone. I was also told yesterday that sonim were going bust "phone shop" I can not find anything to confirm this yet but worth checking.
-
No idea, but i got mine yesterday in the post!
Had no bother at all with it :D
Think its the dogs danglies :D
It's so great you got it up for sale less than 1 month later :lol:
-
Yeah, it is a fantastic phone!
Also ask bettyblue22, i never keep a phone longer than a month!
Unfortunately it doesnt have some of the functions i need to use on a daily basis which is why its up for sale!
Aside from that they are fantastic, if i didnt need the money i would keep it as well for when i go off roading!
-
This one has same fault now as well battery lasts about 3 day if i don't use it. So its going back again.
Ps Neil is yours still ok if so think you had the only good one. Lol
