    Good quality, well supported, if not particularly powerful tablet?

    Helping out with some work on some android games at the moment and finding my HTC One S screen a bit small for doing proper testing, so looking to get a tablet. I won't be using it that much, and thus would like to spend as little as possible, however I'd like something with decent build and...

    Best android camera phone? (low light)

    Lusting after the Nokia pureview and wishing they hadn't gone Microsoft isn't getting me anywhere - my ageing but sneakily updated HTC one S is generally a good phone but the camera is just awful, especially in low light where it just doesn't seem to be capable of taking a decent photo. Are...

    Better Email Widget than HTC Sense? (no Launcher)

    Recently managed to get the new Sense on my HTC One S which is great having been stuck on android 4.1.1 for ages. However, the email widget is even more ridiculous a change than from 4.1.0 to 4.1.1 - in the old one you could get about 8 emails on the widget display, this then went down to 6...

    Best visual voicemail app? UK

    Before everyone recommends Google voice I should point out I'm in the UK and Google voice is US only! Can anyone recommend alternatives? I'm on a rooted phone running cyanogen mod 10.2. Also happy to pay for the right app, but free is better!

    Help What is the latest android version for HTC one s?

    I've been stuck on 4.1.1 for an age and am sick of the bugs and drop in battery life. When I try searching for info on the latest version, I keep finding stories of '4.1.2 out on tmobile us', from way back in March, and other stories speculating that 4.2 may be coming out, but no stories...

    Three's data is MUCH cheaper than all other networks - what's the catch?

    I'm currently on O2 and seriously looking to switch despite being with them for 10 or so years, they aren't able to make any deals with me on data which I am using more and more of as phone online features become more and more useful to me, and content richer - my 500MB is typically lasting me...

    O2 UK upgrades won't budge on SIM-only pricing. Can they?

    I've been with O2 for about 10 years and have usually worked myself out a decent deal at the end of each contract. Last year that didn't end too well as I wanted an HTC One S, but whatever they offered me as a combined phone / contract it was significantly cheaper to buy the phone outright and...

    Keeping Google Maps Active

    Is there any way to stop Google Maps going 'idle' when it isn't in the foreground? It's particularly annoying if i'm on, say my bike with my phone in my pocket, and every time I need to check where I am I have to wait for it to update my position which it occasionally gets stuck doing and I...

    Got an HTC One S - should I have got the Galaxy S3?

    After much thought, I recently purchased an HTC one s. It had the best balance for me on terms of cost, features, and camera quality. However, I noticed the galaxy is only a touch larger, and has been getting rave reviews, and has a bigger community. are there any compelling reasons to...

    Help More noticeable notifications?

    I've recently purchased an HTC one s after running a nokia n8 for the last few ouple of years and I'm mostly very happy with it. The one thing I'm not too keen on though is the way it notifies me of missed calls texts etc. A tiny green led behind the speaker that is often obscured by the...

    Good Older (1yr+) Android Phones?

    After much procrastination and not finding a phone that would fully replace the handful of good features on my Nokia N8 - I've decided with my budget my best course of action would be to buy a reasonable second hand Android phone and wait to see if the new Nokia 808 inspires phone makers to put...

    Best UK Network?

    :call: I've been with O2 for many years now as I felt they offered very good customer service, however I've become increasingly unhappy with them over the last year with regular 'Sorry!' errors when browsing, apparently poorer internet performance than their rivals (any truth to this?) and very...

    Thinking of upgrading from Symbian phone - Android Questions

    I've had an HTC Desire in the past (now belongs to my mother) but bought a Nokia N8 18 months ago for the camera. I'll be honest, the N8 is a bloody awful phone. Well, it's nice physically and camera is very good, but operating it is so bloody clunky and slow and buggy and unintuitive and just...

    HTC Desire - Latest Android Version? On O2 UK?

    Did HTC ever make 2.3 available for the Desire? Did O2 UK ever pass this on to their customers? Reason I ask is that my mum has a Desire and it says it's 2.29 (can't remember the next bit sorry and currently not able to access it) and no updates available - could have sworn HTC releasing...

    Help HTC Desire Bluetooth Car Problems - Constantly Disconnecting & Reconnecting

    Hi, posting on behalf of my mother here! Having a very weird problem with her HTC Desire and her car (Audi A3) - the bluetooth which she uses to talk hands-free through her car keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. I tried connecting with my Nokia N8 and had no such problems - once connected...

    Help Dodgy Desire Stuck After Hard Reset

    Had a search around but could only find info on the Desire HD, which didn't seem relevant. My mother has an HTC Desire which has been increasingly mischeavous since a failed software update a few months back. When it gets below half battery, if she turns it off it won't start up again - it gets...

    Help Can't Change Keyboard? What The ...

    Just got off the phone from a VERY frustrating call to HTC UK. Guy I spoke to, to be honest, was a prick. Didn't want to hear my problem, just wanted to tell me to reset my phone oh blame 3rd party no I won't pass you to my supervisor. Ok, I say I JUST got off the phone, what I mean is I just...

    Alternative Phone Keypad style Text Entry?

    I've had an HTC Desire for a few months now, and I just can't get used to full keyboard touchscreen style text entry. I like old school phone keypad style T9 text entry - I find it much faster (well, once I've entered lots of extra words!) than a keyboard and like to be able to send texts with...

    Xperia X10 Mini vs Mini Pro - Camera

    Hi, I'm thinking of getting either an Xperia Mini or Mini Pro - just wondering, something I haven't been able to ascertain from reviews out there (when reviewing both, most reviewers seem to have only based the camera portion of the review on one of the phones) is there any difference with the...

    Help Update HTC Desire to 2.2 on O2 UK without wiping it?

    Hi, been reading around on the info on how to upgrade my HTC Desire to 2.2 without having to wait 'weeks' for O2 to offer it to it's customers, because I'm sure it takes weeks to stick a splash screen and enter a few settings on an Android build. :mad: However, all the guides I've seen appear...

    Turn Based Strategy Games?

    Hi, been having a poke around the market but haven't found anything to my taste or at least has free demos available. Can anyone recommend any turn based strategy games for Android? I'm on a Desire so preferably ones that don't require trackball or keyboard! I'm thinking of games like...

    Talk To Me Cloud - speak results?

    Recently installed Talk To Me Cloud, the translation app. Is pretty cool to press a button, talk into it and get a translation. HOWEVER! There seems to be a little speaker icon next to the translation results, and when I press it I would expect to hear it say the translated sentence back to...

    Why are O2 so CRAP for Android phones?

    I suspect this may have something to do with O2 being the prime iPhone retailer. I like O2. I really do. Really good coverage, really good customer service, and they sell phones outright for WAY, WAY cheaper than other networks, like 25% cheaper. I guess because other networks just do not want...
