Android phones, apps and tablets

Kies can be pitchforked too, it's bloody awful.

I don't feel so comfortable with the idea re-installing the OS on my phone, knowing myself this will lead to bugs, crashes, etc... Is there any simpler way?

Bollocks I hate technology... Never works.

anyone know what you can do about the htc desire receiving texts hours after they were sent?

I was reading up on it on the android forum but that one appears to have fallen over.

Android phone purchase fail :(

Grrr to you o2

That sounds more like a network issue than a handset issue- have any of the network forums reported the problem at the same time as you have experienced it?

My ex's Desire sometimes repeats text previously sent days earlier.

^^ This.

It's usually network related.

Then again, we have a range of phones in the office and some (not naming names) will fail to get SMS updates in a timely way when the phone is connected to WiFi. Shouldn't be related, but it is.

So if you have WiFi enabled, consider disabling it when you're not needing to use it for data stuff so that the telecoms works better. Stupid, I realise.

I'm leaning towards either a htc sensation or maybe a samsung s2 come upgrade time (january)
what's the yays nays on them?

i have a sensation, i'm loving it. you're welcome to poke at it if you like.

Sensation, love love.

+1.

+1

Using my Desire Z as my phone here in Oz, the Sensation is a games console as it's locked to T-Mob... Will be selling the Desire Z on my return...

its also £300 now the new ones with the stupid headphones have come out.

The internet reported the same problem with htcs. Shoddy Android update or something. But I did the data thingy and it seems to be working OK now.

+1 Sensation. Had it 2 days, not planning on going back to iPhone.

Just got a HTC Sensation XL only problem is I know very little about apps for android phones anyone got any good recommendations?

Switched to Android as well (Nexus). Only one handset for now - the other is still an iPhone.
It's better be worth it.
I just wanted better G+ integration.

what's the best app for G+?

The native one.

Is there a problem with it?

cheers spotter will take you up on that. the bossman here has a samsung s2 to I will play on that too to help make up my mind.

not tried any :)

bollocks!! spammit is on there too

For some reason htc sync on my pc failing to update everytime I'm trying to. It downloads something for a few minutes and then boom

I haven't had a play with the Sensation but I'm loving the SGS2. The HTC is a bit burlier than the Samsung - which could be a plus - but I like the slimmer form factor and although some say it feels flimsy, it holds up well in drop tests etc..

Specs wise the SGS2 tips it - the Exynos processor performs considerably better than the HTC's Snapdragon in benchmarks, and the SGS2 radio will do 21Mbps where the HTC "only" manages 14.4.

^^^^^^^^^ Exactly why I own the Galaxy II S and not the Sensation. Also, EVERY independent review gives the Galaxy II S the nod in straight comparisons with the Sensation. Can ALL the reviews be wrong? Maybe, but not from where I sit.

Who gives a fuck? At the end of the day, it's only a fucking phone, Ashe...
