    KitKat query

    Looking at picking up a Moto G at the weekend (can't ignore a phone this cheap with such good specs) however, I have heard a few stories of the phone going to hell when updated to KitKat and not holding onto it's network signal. Can anyone substantiate this or shed any light on it?

    Root New to this phone, looking to root and rom it

    So, just got myself a new (to me) S2 epig touch 4g to replace my old phone, and because I hate bloatware (and because this is what I do with my phones) I'm planning on rooting it and putting a rom on it (likely super nexus or cyanogenmod I havent decided yet). However... I see from a lot...

    BYOD so easy

    Well.. I can happily announce that Ting's BYOD is just as quick easy and painless as activating a phone you bought through them. Yesterday I received a phone I purchased on ebay to replace my other handset which frankly had just gotten too slow to use. A quick phone call (because I needed to...

    Locket

    Just found this rather nice app called Locket. Turns your lockscreen into a nice advertising board and pays you when you unlock your phone. (only 1c each time, and only up to 3 times an hour, kind of hoping that changes when they come out of beta, but hey it's free money for using your phone)...

    Why isn't ting available worldwide :(

    Sad to say that in the next couple of months or so I will have to leave Ting. Not because of service or any problems, but because I am moving back to the UK and it doesn't work there... Well I guess that could be construed as a problem lol. Shame really, best phone company I have ever used.

    S3 Fakes

    Curious if anyone has been stung with a fake S3. I see a lot of "S3s" for sale on ebay and honestly it has crossed my mind to go after one since they are cheaper that way for me as I am not on a contract, but the cheaper price also makes me very cautious having seen several videos of the...

    Big title yes i know. But I'm curious. Not as to how many referrals people have gotten but this. Using nothing but referral credits, how many consecutive months have you gone without paying a single penny from your own pocket to pay for your bill? I am currently at 6 months have to...

    Buy now or wait?

    So I'm now having to seriously look at getting a new tablet (which would be a nexus obviously) after I managed to kill my 1st gen kindle fire (rooted running JB 4.2) but it comes at an awkward time. Why, because I am sat reading all this stuff from CES and can't help but wonder... How long...

    Build Quality

    So, While helping someone buy a new computer today I was playing with the new Kindle Fire HD. My thoughts on it, as an owner of the 1st gen Fire... It's a lot lighter than the 1st gen, but it just doesn't feel as well put together, I'm not sure it could take the knocks that mine has taken...
