    H.265 video

    Has anyone managed to get H.265 content playing back on their android? The only contender that supports Android realistically as far as I can see is: http://www.cinemartin.com/cinec/hoid/ I know it's early days with H.265 but I could save hundreds of gig of storage converting all my videos...

    Snark busters (and other puzzle type finding games)

    I've always loved puzzle type games, where you use objects you have found to interact with other objects throughout the game. Couple this with the "finding" type games, makes games like Snark busters a real hit for me. However, the way I am forced to download apps or fill in damn surveys to...

    Help Total voice control

    You would have thought by now there would be something out there that allows total hands free control using voice alone. I spend a lot of time commuting on my bike (50 miles each way), and listen to music to ease the long journey. The voice control for the stock music player is awkward to say...

    Help voice control - music

    The voice control to play music, pause, skip track etc is flaky at best but I have never managed to get it to work when using headphones (wired). Has anyone ever managed to get it to work? S-Voice works with headphones though, just not the stock music player.

    Films on the market

    I see there are films on the market now, but they seem to be rentals and not buy to keep. Does anyone know how long they are valid for, or whether they can be bought? I wish there were a few free ones for me to try :)

    void warranty

    Has there been *any* reports from Samsung users having their warranty void by flashing firmware (and not using a USB jig to reset the counter), or is it just a scare tactic by Samsung? Has anyone ever sent their device back to Samsung with a flash counter that is anything other than 0, and had...

    Car bluetooth

    Does anyone use hands free *and* streaming over bluetooth for their car stereo head unit? I have a Sony MEX BT2900 and while the audio streaming is good, the hands free voice is awful! The people I call say that their voices are echoed back to them. After some searching, I found other people...

    Streaming track names

    Is there any media player (apart from stock) that will stream track names over bluetooth? My car stereo will display track names only when I use the stock player, it doesn't display anything in any of the other players I have tried (player pro is my favourite but that doesnt stream track info).

    Factory default

    I have flashed a newer firmware, and also rooted a kernel to match the firmware I flashed. I have also installed clockwork mod recovery. If I were to get the phone back to its stock state, I would loose root I know but would I also loose the clockwork mod recovery? Also would I need to clear...

    Cooking recipes

    I have thousands of food recipes, and my favourite ones and the ones I have created are stored electronically. I have yet to find a decent android application to store and view recipes. There are so many out there, but my primary criteria for an app is to be able to edit or store recipes...

    Headphones not muting ringtone

    Has anyone else noticed that the phone's internal speaker is still used for ringtones / alerts even when the headphones are plugged in? I had rather an embarrassing moment at work when the worms "Incomming.....he he he he" alert played at full volume when the office was at it's quietest...

    Help GPS while charging

    I have used Copilot on all of the smartphones I have owned in the past, and for each phone I have used a car mount with a charger. On all other phones, I have never had an issue while driving and using GPS until the galaxy S2. It seems that any brightness on the phone >50% the battery begins...

    The market

    Don't get me wrong, I love the Android market. Every morning, while I am enjoying my first few cups of coffee of the day I open up the market and scan the latest developments in applications and games. What do I find in the applications section? Themes, icons, more themes and more icons. Not...

    The virtues of sarcasm

    I have suffered the low speeds of GPRS (Yes folks, the lowly G icon, not even a scent of Edge) since last year when I got my G1, I put it down to living in a small(ish) town with a small population of T-Mobile data users. I was happy though, I had my G1 and I had wireless at home. I also had...

    Joke Fred

    I don't think we have one, so here goes. A delivery man breaks down on the interstate, and flags down Paddy and says to him "I have 6 monkeys in the back, I will give you $100 if you take them to the zoo for me". Well, Paddy agrees and two hours later the delivery guy sees Paddy driving in...

    Reading your hotmail on the G1's email app

    I have managed to get the G1 to download emails from my Hotmail account (something that a lot of people are having trouble doing I understand). I have been informed that these settings will work in the UK and most of Europe but I cant verify if it works elsewhere. Maybe you will have to set your...
