Is that because of the ROM on it?

It's just deactivated in the handset feature settings (not the settings Joe average can see)

Is there anyway to find a Vodafone ROM for the S5? I miss HD voice and hate seeing the dam Telecom logo.

Awesome! That's a great site. Flashed it to my phone and all good. No more Telecom logo!!

Now let's hope the placebo effect kicks in and I get better covergae around town lol.

 
 
 
 

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Free setup code: R587125ERQ6VE. Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

You'll get HD voice and fast dormancy. So better battery life when on 3G at least.

I am using a Telecom S5 on Vodafone and despite of the ROM I am pretty happy with battery life.

Is it just me, or anyone else noticed that sometimes you push the power button to wake the phone and it take a split second to show the PIN screen instead of being instant?

There's an update coming to fix wake responsiveness and finger print scanner accuracy.

I had to stop using the fingerprint scanner - first because it's not as easy to use as a PIN, second because some of my settings required a PIN and fingerprint didn't seem to be an option (can't remember which now)...

Glad to hear it. The fingerprint scanner is causing me a small amount of ragequits.

Arghhh. Two seconds to wake up is a bit on the slow side. Seriously annoying.
