    LG G3 Tips & Tricks

    It doesn't look like anyone's started a Tips & Tricks thread yet, so I thought I'd kick one off!

    S3 Mind Games

    I'd like to promote a few thought-provoking, logical, games I enjoy, but also hope to hear what other people are enjoying. For me, the ones I keep coming back to are (in no particular order): Sudoku: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andoku.two.free Solitaire...

    Carat Collaborative Energy Diagnosis... what's your J-Score?

    Hi, I'm wondering how many people here use the Carat Collaborative Energy Diagnosis app? I installed it about a week ago and it's just started giving me meaningful information. My initial J-Score is 84, which means that I have a better battery life than 84% of Carat users (presumably for all...

    Jelly Bean, Power Drain & Auto Brightness

    Hi, Seeing so many threads here which talk about excessive power drain since applying the Jelly Bean upgrade, I thought I'd start a new conversation to re-state something I'd written in one of those threads. Here it is: "Jelly Bean now apparently allows us to tailor the display's brightness...

    Help Orange UK - Deezer swapable problem

    I'm on Orange in the UK and have Deezer music streaming as one of my free Panther swapables. I generally download albums for offline access but find that I have to have a data connection available whenever I launch the player, otherwise all my downloaded music is greyed out and unavailable...

    Here's a link for S3 (International) Jelly Bean User Manaul

    Whenever my S3 gets a major software upgrade, I always download the revised Samsung User Manual, and I thought it might be helpful to share the download links for this. Thankfully, Samsung seem to be pretty good at releasing up-to-date documentation. Here's a direct link to the user manual for...

    google earth wind voice typing game (Google Offline Voice Typing Game)

    The game is to use Google Offline Voice Typing and then post its most bizarre misunderstandings. I'll start with this... I read the following sentence from this website: "CLICK EDIT to select your Favorite Forums now!" (Google thinks the above should actually be "The game is to use google...

    Which would you opt for... 4G or locked phone?

    It seems absolutely clear now that, even with the Jelly Bean update, existing International S3 phones won't be able to connect to 4G. Orange/T-Mobile (now to be known as EE) have said that they will launch a new LTE version of the S3 which, I assume will come branded and locked. If there was a...

    Help iPlayer woes - is anyone happy with it?

    Hi, I've recently moved from an HTC Desire HD to an S3, and it's a great step up. However, one area where I've lost an important feature is with using the BBC iPlayer, so I'm hoping that someone else might have an answer. Firstly, I discount the iPlayer app, because I cannot sign into my BBC...

    Help Battery life vs. HTC Desire HD?

    Hi. I'm getting close to the next upgrade from my current HTC Desire HD. What I'm hoping is that someone here has upgraded from the Desire HD to the One X and can give me their impression of the relative battery lives. I have always carried a couple of spare batteries but with the One X that is...

    2mm and 18 grams to double battery life!

    Below is a link to a Trusted Reviews 'First Look' at the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx. The reason I'm flagging it up is that they say it's pretty much identical to the earlier Motorola Droid Razr, except that it is now powered by a battery which has double the capacity of the earlier model: 3,300...

    Help HTC Sense phone firmware keeps crashing

    Hi, In the past week or so the HTC Sense interface on my DHD keeps crashing and, before I do a full reset, I'm wondering whether anyone else is experiencing this? The effect is that, often when I return to the home screen, it is blank for a few seconds, only showing the wallpaper. Then HTC...

    Google Maps can now download maps

    Just thought I'd flag up that the latest release of Google Maps (v5.7) now allows users to download maps! It seems a fairly major upgrade as it also allows the planning of journeys using public transport. To download what Google call an 'area', do a long press at the centre of the area you want...

    GPS Reception & How You Hold Your Phone

    Hi, Having read a recent thread about the GPS antenna location ( http://androidforums.com/htc-desire-hd/346571-gps-possible-solutions.html ), I started to wonder whether the GPS reception would work better if I held my phone upside-down. Using the free GPS Status app, it certainly appears that...

    Turning anti-virus off to upgrade HTC Sync

    I've just been notified of (and have installed) an update to HTC Sync. During the upgrade process the installer instructed me to turn my anti-virus software off. Surely it is during software installation that anti-virus protection is most needed, so do you think it's acceptable for HTC to ask us...

    Gingerbread+Honeycomb=Ice Cream Sandwich

    I see that this has been mentioned in other forums on this site but, given how hotly Gingerbread, Honeycomb and DHD updates have been debated here, it seems worth mentioning it again. Basically, by the end of the year, Android for phones and for tablets should have re-converged as Google's Ice...

    Help Music player - gap between tracks

    Lazy me, I know, but does anyone know whether any of the Android music players let you set the gap between tracks on an album-by-album basis? Clearly the gap is appropriate for most albums, but I have several CDs where one track leads straight into the next, resulting in the music being...

    Hi, Just wondering whether anyone else has started experiencing problems with Friend Stream since upgrading their firmware to 1.72.405.3 I used to rely on Friend Stream (and the Friend Stream widget) to get the info on my Twitter, Facebook and Flickr contacts. But since upgrading to the...

    Help Headphone connection design issue?

    On a few occasions, I've noticed a problem with the headphone connection on my HD and I'm wondering whether other people have experienced it too? - I do remember someone talking about hearing crackling after having used their phones for a while. Basically the issue is this: I never have a...
