    Help Is my mic defective?

    I'm on my second Nexus 6. The first one I had arrived damaged so I returned it for the one I currently have. So far its great, though I'm not sure if there's a problem with my microphone.

    My dad has a Nexus 7, I have the Nexus 4. He's sitting next to me, we're both on our devices. They don't touch. Could he send stuff to me via NFC or is that impossible?

    How delicate do I have to be?

    I bought one of those cheap TPU cases till my Ionic Guardian arrives. The volume rocker was covered over and difficult to press, so I used a knife to cut a whole in the case so I could get to the buttons. Problem is now though, I can only press the buttons using my nails. My fingers don't fit in...

    Loose volume rocker?

    I've read it on a few forums, and decided to check it out with mine. I have very slight wobble, but compared to my mothers S3, there's no wobble at all. The S3's rocker is really wobbly. Anyone else have a wobbly rocker on their Nexus? Is it just me though, or are the buttons less 'clicky'?

    Can an Email account have a virus?

    Is it possible or not? On my old phone, I was signed into Gmail. A friend sent me a link and it took me to a site I didn't want to be on. I came off the site, cleared history and cookies etc. When that phone started to act strange, I moved my SD card, SIM and the Gmail account to another...

    Is my phone broken or my SIM?

    Been having trouble with my HTC Incredible S recently. Texts rarely send, and I rarely receive texts, unless I turn off all data, and constantly reboot my phone and/or send texts to myself to kick starts texts into sending and receiving. I'd buy a new phone, but am waiting for the Nexus 4 to...

    iPhone 5 vs Nexus 4

    Which one should I go for? I was pretty set on the Nexus 4, but the past day or so my Incredible S has been HORRIBLE. Signal going completely, texts not coming through, texts not sending, internet not working etc. etc. Is this likely an HTC thing or an Android thing? Because I don't want...

    Galaxy Nexus vs Nexus 7 vs Galaxy S3

    I made another thread but it got buried with no replies, hence this one. I have an Incredible S, and I'm bored of it. I want something with a bit more 'oomph'. I looked at the iPhone 5 - as I have an MacBook Pro and an iPad 3, so tied into the Apple ecosystem - but found it to be a huge let...

    Wanting a new Android Device

    I have an Incredible S which is running ICS. I've covered it with launchers etc. becauseI really want to use stock Android. ... so because I want a pure 'Google' device, and the fact my phone is aging now, I'm considering a new phone. At the same time though, my phone works fine, so then I...

It opened up through chrome, and a pop up saying I needed to install VLC player popped up, then two pop ups appeared taking me to adult websites, asking me to confirm I was 18, or to agree to their terms. Now...

    Android or iPhone

    Currently I have an HTC Incredible S. I think it's a great phone. I've started becoming more Apple orientated though recently, after purchasing a MacBook as I am studying for a degree in graphic design, and I've purchased an iPad to compliment that with different graphic design apps. I also...

    I like the look of the Nexus 7

    ... a lot. I just bought an iPad, because I wanted something portable that I could do work on. I study advertising, so wanted a tablet that could run Photoshop Touch, iDraw and other graphic programmes, whilst on the move. I have a MacBook Pro but use that solely as my 'desktop' machine -...

    Magnets on Cell Phone?

    I was told years ago that magnets can disrupt the internals of a piece of technology, such as a watch of cell phone. Due to this, I've always kept magnets away from my tech. Came home today to find two magnets - the ones you put on cars to say you're a new driver - resting against my HTC. I...

    Connecting to public wifi - safety?

    I never usually do it, but I needed to check my email and didn't have any signal for 3G. I connected to my universities wifi and logged in with my student credentials. How safe is it doing that? All I did was check my email and Facebook.

    Is wireless tethering safe? I connected my Mac to it, and I also connected my Dad's iPod to it and a friends iPad, just to test it out. Can things be uploaded/sent to my phone from doing that? Am curious because am wanting to get an iPad 3 (sorry!) and my thinking is that I can get the wifi...
