Android phones, apps and tablets

Any suggestions for a tablet, doesn't matter how poor the spec or screen, with wireless charging or a docking station? Will mainly be used for controlling lights, tv, htpc, etc through a few apps so very few challenging things

I have a Pebble and a LG Wear watch. The Pebble is the 'go to' wearable.

Got the Lollipop upgrade on my HTC One M8. I was nervous about installing it, but I love it so far. Has really sped things up and I like the new keyboard and notifications stuff.

Will see how battery is today.

Anyone have any tips on cool new things in lollipop?

Wow!

Battery life as of now is 95%, having unplugged at 7am this morning.

That is insane and I don't really believe it.

Does anyone have a recommedation of a screen replacment service in Old st/CIty area for a Nexus 4? The wife has just smashed hers and is very sad..

Mine last nearly two weeks, but that because I got bluetooth off the majority of time.

I'm passing the moto g on to mrs jaw who now also needs a dual sim which means I'm in the market for a new dual sim phone. Anyone here used a Samsung a5?

They looked great (for a Samsung) with full alloy body and a good snapper but I've only ever had stock android (nexus) or as close (moto g) to on my android phones.

Can I get something similar on a Samsung?

I need a dual sim too... I'm listening...

Why? The whole point of the watch is to talk to your phone and display notifications. You may as well wear a hipster Casio...

Nexus 4 screen replacement is very straghtforward. I have done about 6 in our household (don't get me started). Just buy the bits on ebay. Make sure your get one with a frame and Bob is your uncle.

Cause it got an amazing vibrate feature that's much better than leaving my phone under the pillow.

I used the feature sporadically, like when riding for instance (controlling music via iPhone).

I think with my Nexus 4 signal issues etc I'm going to have to start looking at something else. Anyone else got a OnePlus? My only fear is coming from a Nexus 4 is that it'll be wayyyyyy too big.

Just bough an bq aquaris 4.5". Amazing for the price, seems to works as well as my former nexus 4 was

Lollipop for my S5.

as Im the king of muppets and gone and lost my phoen over the weekend, i have to get a new phone quickly.

I had the N4. I would like something the same size(ish) and current top contender like the N4 was back in the day.

Whats the suggestion? M8? N5? S5?

Get the Sony Z3 compact, if you don't like it you can give it to me.

Any other nexus 7 users regretting the "upgrade" to lollipop.

Z1 compact if you can find it cheap

I love it on nyphonet (HTC one m8). On my first generation nexus 7 it has made a slow thing still be slow.

I might try and ROM the n7 back to its original OS. It used to be snappy.

Let me know how that goes on for you, I've done a factory reset and it's still as slow as me typing.

I spent a whole day at "work" last week trying to install a custom ROM on a galaxy fame. It left me mad.

Nexii are designed to be ROM'ed so it should be easy. Bear in mind that I will probably get round to this at some point in the 2020's

installing ROMs is dead simple. Takes 4 minutes. My nexus 5 last two days easily. Usually running SlimLP.

You only got to install ADB and FASTBOOT on your computer the youre off to the races. Head over to XDA, do a Saturday morning of clicking around and get to it. Read before you ask. Ask before you flash. Its especially easy with Nexus devices.

I recommend SimpleAOSP or SlimLP

XDA proves it isn't simple - every tutorial has 8 pages of questions because the tutorial wasn't quite as straight forward as written.

It's easy once you get the hang of it but most of the guides appear to be written from a position of knowledge so you've got to be careful not to miss out things that are taken for granted.
Lollipop on my Nexus 5 is slow (the screen likes to redraw each time I press home) and gives significantly worse battery life.

8 pages!? Dear me. There 2000 pages of HHSB on this site.
