Android phones, apps and tablets

^^ It was a contract free handset but I wasn't pushing for a Kia's update it was a OTA. Some immediate differences in the theme and layout but haven't had time to delve too deeply yet

Hmm, mine was ota, and also a BTU basic UK one, not carrier specific. After getting 4.3 mine stopped coming out of deep sleep, would usually require a battery pull to sort it and music playback was atrocious, amongst other issues. Dog slow too... Be interested to hear how you get on, as I definitely wasn't the only one to have the above issues when it first came out.

Any nexus 4's or 16gb moto g's about for sale lads? Birds iphone 3g finally died and shes fed up of ios.

Anyone used a random chinese clonephone yet? I'm finding a MTK6572-based phone with a 4 inch qHD quite tempting as a replacement for my GF's dead Galaxy Ace, for £30.

I think giffgaff just jumped the shark; network and website both completely borked

Finally a win for locking yourself in to a long, expensive contract.

Moto G owners are getting KitKit early!

Reboot worked a charm. Which is a bit embarrassing as you basically asked if I'd tried turning it on and off again. Oh dear.

Thanks hippy.

The IT Crowd has a lot to answer for when it comes to stealing our secret fixes...

this one

Nice one, Dave... Picking up Lori's phone after work... It looks awesome, she's gonna love it...

Used the ebay guy earlier today. Did the trick and Adrienne's enjoying her phone. Win!

Cyanogen now producing their own phones.

Anyone got any remote control app recommendations.

I'm looking to play music through my N7(v1) which is hooked up to my amp, but would like to be able to control through my N4.
So far I've found this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videomap.droidmoteclient&hl=en
Which works to a point, but is not great - is there anything better? Or instead of using phone to control tablet, to instead stream to the tablet?

(I know what I really need is a Nexus Q, but who doesn't ... ?)

You could use squeeze play technology. Swueezeplayer for playback and squeezeplay commander for the playback. Run the server on a PC or router.

Mrs TS loves her Moto G... That eBay unlocking thing worked a treat, I saved about £30 buying a locked PAYG Tesco phone instead of the SIM free handset...

Hey giffgaffers, I've been using a giffgaff sim for internet while waiting for broadband to be hooked up. Want to top up with a gigabag, have £5 credit, but can't seem to put the £5 towards the bag. I've read a couple of posts that says it's possible and explain that it'll be an option when you get to check out, but not happening. Anyone familiar with this?

I'm thinking about getting this but I read the only major let down is the camera, anyone care to post some pics taken with this phone.

first result in googling "moto g photo samples"

Just got Kitkat on my 2012 Nexus 7

Might be old news. I haven't turned it on in a while...

I'd use AndFTP on the Android and OpenSSH server on the Mac, but I'm a massive geek.

So, fucking Google are still holding my £340 for the original borked N5. Nice.

They're asking for a tracking number but I sent it back with their pre-paid packaging and it left from my office's postroom so I don't have any shipping nyumber(s).

I'm now up shit creek because some cunt has pocketed the box aren't I?

Their return instructions make no mention of getting a return shipping number, it just says "drop it off at your local post office".

Going to collect a Nexus 7 I bought for my wife this afternoon.
Heard good things about them. Can I dual install it with Ubunut touch?

2012 version or the current one? The former is fine, the latter won't work, yet.
