    Help Is it possible to do a fresh firmware install without voiding warranty?

    Hi folks. I'm just thinking about the way the OS is updated by means of software update patches as opposed to a complete wipe and re-install of a fresh version of the entire OS. The patch idea is great as its much faster and provided it works then all is good but I guess there is always...

    Anyone considering swapping s3 for a Nexus 4???

    I haven't looked at the second hand prices for an S3 but given the great price of the Nexus 4 in the UK I'm thinking it would be possible to get one without losing much financially and I'm kind of tempted. Sure it doesn't have removable storage or battery which are both negatives I feel. But...

    Help Battery drain after official JB update, any advice?

    Hi folks, I updated to the official Jelly Bean build on Three in the Uk yesterday. When I first got my phone on ICS I played around checking wakelocks etc and managed to get everything set up so battery drain in standby was around 0.5 % per hour so 3 or 4% drop over night (if not plugged in of...
