So, I dial my mortgage provider using their number off the saynoto0870 site (http://www.saynoto0870.com/search.php) and Android goes and does caller id on it.
Freaky.

I am getting a new phone delivered tomorrow (HTC One) so am spending this evening taking all the shit off my current phone (sensation), just wondering if there is a way I can transfer the saved wifi networks and passwords from the sensation?? I am pretty useless at technology so is there any way I can do this without any of that rooting business as per here??? http://zackeryfretty.com/posts/retrieve-saved-wireless-passwords-on-android

As mentioned in last couple of pages if you backup your phone to Googles servers when you activate a new device it will tfr the backup deets inc passwords to the new device
Sorry- wasn't clear but I was posting in reference to the chat a couple of pages back about backing up to Google and should have said I have a version of android that I think pre-dates this nifty function...

got my upgrade, at last
just called a number for a first time, then looked at the phone and it said exactly who I called
also full-screen album art on the lock screen is pretty cool feature, even if played something of soundcloud

I scrolled below the fold and was pleasantly surprised...

Not to be overly paranoid but... do you think any manufacturers or carriers "leaned" on them?Klaas

Yeah it's freaky.
It's based on 2 things:
1) Google Plus accounts (and yes, if you have one then this is your Caller ID profile to others) or Android profile
2) Partnerships with companies like http://www.localdatacompany.com/ as well as Google Places information, to pair phone numbers with businesses.
In your phone application you can turn off the sharing of whom you're calling with Google and disable the Caller ID function.
In your phone application you can also turn off "search local businesses when you search your phone contacts".
To disable your profile being used as Caller ID, you need to opt out: https://www.google.com/settings/phone

If it works for you, great. Well done. Giffgaff was fucking shit for me.
Recurring goodybags which failed and used up my credit. No customer support. Less than 10kb/s connection speeds despite H+ connection. Being called a liar for blaming them (rightly) and not my bank. "better coverage" only in certain parts of the city, not out in the suburbs and the proper countryside.You get what you pay for, O2's offcuts is what it feels like.
I have left giffgaff for 3 too, mainly due to the recent stupid advert.

I know there are hundreds of "who is this number and am I being spammed?" sites and the data quality on each is disappointing, but have they got any of that "nuisance" data feeding into the KitKat callerID system?

Am considering buying my auld and untechy mum a Tesco Hudl for Christmas. Will be almost solely for skypeing us so she can talk to her grandson and for looking at pictures of said grandson. Hopefully it will get her more into internet and emailing as well as she gets put off by using her rubbish PC.
Seems to get some good reviews for being good but not flashy. Anyone used one or have any thoughts on how a 65 year old mum would cope with it?

^ i think its a good buy. I dont have one myself but I am a fanboi of people who designed the user experience for this (http://ustwo.com/2013/09/ustwo-creates-the-user-experience-for-tescos-hudl/) I am sure there must be lower price point (possibly far east) similar spec (or even higher maybe) tablets out there but if I want to spend my money I'd go with Hudl. Vanilla android and good user experience is pretty much all you need from a tablet in that range.

Anyone tried out SoundSeeder? - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kattwinkel.android.soundseeder.player
I've been trying to get it working, streaming music from my N5 to N7, both with KitKat, and I get very choppy playback. It's the streaming app I've been looking for, and I can't get it working :(
