    Will GS3 get Air View from S4?

    Airview isn't done using the infra red sensor, it's done using the digitizer... The digitizer on the s3 isn't capable of handling Airview. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

    Minus sign in notification bar

    To answeryour question... Pull down the notification bar, it should say 'blocking mode enabled' under ongoing. Clicking that takes you to the menu option to switch it off (slide the green switch at the top to the left so it goes grey) Alternatively go into settings, in the 'device' section The...

    First impressions

    Thanks in part to you guys I bought a nexus 7 (32gb mobile data), and it arrived this morning.... First impressions, I love it! It feels so well put together and comfortable in the hand, is smooth and despite looking small next to my wife's 10 inch tablet doesn't feel small in use. Thank you...

    iOS to Android; how could I transfer my bookmarks with some apps?

    It's a question that can't really be answered without knowing all the apps you use, but in general... If the app uses a cloud account to allow syncing then it should sync to Android too If the app allows export/import then it should do it cross platform That said the s4 should make it as easy as...

    Help Me Convince My Mother to Get a Nexus 10 Instead of an Ipad

    If you want a nexus 10 buy one. Your mum wants an ipad and an ipad is clearly better suited to her since she had an iPhone so is used to ios. Don't confuse things, don't complicate things unnecessarily and don't be a selfish little swear word. You aren't 6 so stop acting like a spoiled Brat. I...

    Let's Talk about the Galaxy S4. exciting? buy it or pass it

    Pass I don't mind the build quality 'issues' - I was quite happy with the s3 and that was more plastic than the s4 will be... But other than the air view nothing mentioned has me interested, and even that doesn't get me excited. The octa core processor is out spec'd by the competing flagships...

    [Closed] Enter for a chance at winning a Nexus 7 dock!

    Having destroyed my galaxy s3 I decided to replace it with a dumb phone and n7, so this would be an awesome addition to my new set up

    Google Nexus 7 Tips and Tricks

    Erm... A pin can't have letters... It is by definition a number... PIN = Personal Identification Number (which is why the phrase pin number winds me up so much) It is possible the letter was converted to its equivalent number on a phone keypad (a/b/c = 2 etc) so you could try that Edit: If...

    To buy or not to buy?

    Honestly? I don't know. I had kinda already decided on the N7 but wanted to hear what people with the device thought of it before selecting my cash. I had an s3 that got damaged and I thought to replace it I'd get a dumb phone and a n7 to do the smart bits (and some of the laptop bits since it...

    Google Wallet alternative

    That is indeed all you need to do, I have done it. I can't remember where I downloaded the apk but a Google search should find it. Didn't work for me though because I'm in UK and it wants a us bank account

    To buy or not to buy?

    Couldn't ask for a better answer, thank you. The missing features you mentioned aren't too important to me; tablets are a daft way to take photos, 32gb is a decent amount especially when combined with the cloud, and I am too lazy to hook it up to the tv... I was considering waiting but since...

    To buy or not to buy?

    I have heard many good and many bad things about the nexus 7... I'm very close to buying one but before I do I thought I'd ask people that own them... Would you recommend the nexus 7?
