    Data link throughput

    Although I posted this in a specific thread about slow download speeds, I thought it might be useful for general consideration :- The following info is relevant to live data throughput :- "The bandwidth of a link is the theoretical maximum amount of data that could be sent over that channel...

    Missing them

    While I'm in a reflective mood, it's come to mind that I still don't know what happened to RICO, and I've not seen psionandy for ages. They have both disappeared from the ranking list. Does anybody know anything about them? I miss them both and some others too.

    Recent update to Maps satellite view.

    Any body else noticed the recent improvement to the clarity of the satellite view? I've just noticed it today and can say that it is recent because about two months ago my wife and I went to view a house which had been built in 2013 and when we looked at the satellite view it was an undeveloped...

    Google app/Launcher3

    There is probably a simple answer to this but despite google searches, I haven't found it. Whilst looking at a problem someone was having with "OK Google", I discovered that the Google app was no longer available in my app list. On the 8th December the app was updated to version 6.9.36.21.arm64...

    Weird occurrences.

    Two strange things have happened over the last week or so :- 1) While browsing the 'Android Questions' forum I've had a number of random, unrequested downloads of a file called 'Pixel.txt'. It was not related to a specific thread and would happen when simply scrolling through the threads. It...

    Off-line navigation with Google Maps

    I've just noticed that the latest version of Google Maps (9.17.1 - updated 13th November) now includes off-line navigation. At first glance it seems like maps can be downloaded in 1500 MB blocks with an overall maximum of 15 GB (not sure if that relates to individual Google account data...

    Non-HTC earphones not working on M9?

    Puzzling one this morning - I've had my M9 since May and have regularly played my music through earphones, both the HTC ones that came with the device and a variety of non-HTC ones perfectly well. This morning I plugged in the same set that I was using yesterday and ... no music. Tried another...

    'Times' swapable.

    Anyone else having a problem with the Times swapable? I've been using it for about 5 weeks now and it's been great until about a week ago when I got the response 'Your free trial has ended'. Managed to get it back by swapping out and swapping back in. Whilst doing that noticed quite a large...

    New to Android
