As my phone/tablet aren't often on the same network (due to unlimited data, I tend to keep WiFi off on my phone), I use DeskSMS/TabletSMS.

It wobbles quite a bit, but you need an aggressive jab to make it fall over.

At first, I just got a cheap case. It was rather bulky and quite ugly. I had a look around and This case looked the best (I bought it from an eBay seller, took a few weeks to arrive from abroad). While the descriptions say leather, it clearly isn't anything like leather (which is one of the...

This is a standard work day usage for me: Some things - Music to and from work (60 minutes both ways) with app usage/internet browsing on the bus part of the journey (40 minutes of the previous 60 minutes). - Signal variation from high to none during this journey. - Occasional use during home...

Started yesterday. Not quite sure how to play - can it run in the background at all? My handle is Cube1701.

After a day and a bit of usage, my thoughts: - The phone looks amazing. A few people at work wanted one themselves after just looking at it. Then I told them the price, and how the specs are comparable to the high-end phones out there. Then I explained how I have no idea when they'll be...

I also get this. Although so far my battery seems to be good. 22% by 1AM after normal workday usage - my old phone (Desire HD) would have died many hours ago.

I don't play games on my phone, so that's the larger apps sorted. I also don't watch videos, so that's something else that takes up a load of space. I'm going to have to change my music a bit, but due to playlists on Spotify it's just a case of downloading/undownloading as needed.

I managed to grab an 8GB one.

I'm due an upgrade soon. However, due to the price of the Nexus 4 I'm not going to opt for an upgrade - instead I'm ditching my contract for a much cheaper rolling contract (saving me ?22 a month and a grand over the two-year contract period) and replacing my ageing HTC Desire HD with the Nexus 4.

I have unlimited data (as in one that actually has no limit) and I don't think that cloud storage is a viable option for mobile phones just yet - I download all my Spotify playlists. Not in the UK, at least. I suppose I could cope with 8GB, but I'd rather not have the extra hassle of...

I'd stay clear of HTC, then.

A year ago I would have picked HTC. For multiple reasons, not any more. I would just look at the phones and choose based on which Nexus seems the best for me. If all the current/soon-to-be-released top-end phones form each manufacturer (stuff like the Galaxy S3, One X, Xperia T, Optimus G, etc)...

I like the sound of it, I just hope that it's out before Christmas in the UK.

I've been using Android for over three years now, I thought it was about time to join an Android forum. My first Android was the HTC Hero, and I loved the little phone (I still think it has a great design) and my current one is the HTC Desire HD, which is a bit ugly and starting to show it's...
