Android phones, apps and tablets

^^^^^ Damn good infographic, that ;)

Hugo7- That's inevitable though I suspect given the massive variety of handsets that run Android right the way through the price range.

In the UK you can pick up an Android "smartphone" for £50- it's the default these days.

Of course. But they've still done well to effectively make it the "default" and become the MS of the phone world.

The Nokia one is better.

But nobody actually uses it.

Cheers for pointing me in that direction. I think it might be the cause.

Given your responses that's where I'd be looking. No/Incorrect APN, no data.

Fixed for you.

You're welcome.

I actually looked at Nokias the other day. I want a large button "old fogie" phone for race use.

Fixed for you.

You're welcome.

I wouldn't say fixed. Enhanced maybe, but not fixed.

Any time.

The buttons weren't big enough though. Noidea >>>

You need a "Raku-raku" phone from Japan.

Don't really want touchscreen. They're too big to hold tight and still press buttons with while nailing it over the finest, smoothest roads Britain has to offer.

Siri ? Works with a hands-free kit

Nah, I've tried Siri and Android voice control and it barely works in a quiet office let alone 40kph on a dual carriageway. Plus, it has to sit in my skinsuit pocket and you're not allowed earphones.

sure you've seen these already. but might be of use if not.

Yeah, ta. The Easy Project Easy-to-Use one was what I wanted. Didn't order in time though so had a look in Currys and they just had some basic Nokia 100, 110 or something. Simple but no big buttons. The Easy Project has one-touched dialing. Another option was a throat mic combined with one of those vibrating helmet speakers but that's getting a bit crazy and I don't think I'd have enough battery life for them.

No 3 on that list is fucking awful. I bought it for my mother and it took hours to get her to understand how it worked, with plenty of non-standard actions mapped to buttons and a screen that has minimal contrast.

After all that, I bet she

a). Never turns the phone on
b). leaves it at home when she goes out

Spot on.

Every time I go back she asks me to tell how the phone works, and every damn time the SIM has been deactivated and she's lost her credit. I don't bother now.

I'm going to root my phone myself next week. Gulp...

I'm tempted to root my htc one if only to give access to the useful bits of most of the task based apps.

I want to be able to text stuff like 'where's my fucking bottles?' - it's very hard to hear audio when I'm riding.

I just want to be able to clear off some of the shite it came loaded with.

I want to root my Note 2 for the same reason. Sooo much bloat. Haven't really looked into the process yet, but it'll happen eventually.
