I've had my phone replaced under warranty. While I'd not say it is now wonderful, it's a heck of a lot better. Instead of the six second wait when I touch the home button it responds straight away. It doesn't take two attempts to read messages anymore. Apparently it has always had a...

I can access my TV from the Hudl tablet as a remote controller, using SONY's sideview app. But the version of Gallery on the Hudl seems not to have any option for other players in the way that our various smartphones do. The Hudl has Android 4.2.2 Is this a supplier or an OS issue? BTW a...

My Android phone's built in Gallery app has a menu item "player" that allows me to select as the player my Sony TV and show pictures on it. But the Gallery on my Hudl hasn't got that option. It just isn't there. There is no menu item for "player" at all. But the Gallery looks the same otherwise...

I quoted a section of my original post, because I was responding to a comment that seems to have missed (that) point. i.e. I know it's not a big deal, but the combination of having to wade through the pointless games and sheer lack of rational logic should be challenged. Oh well. EDIT The...

In the great scheme of things it means nothing. But if they are going to do something they should do it sensibly. And why make people wade through loads of games if that's not what they want to see? Oh well, just a minor rant.

Am I the only person who finds this annoying? The Google Playstore has a set of tabs for "apps" and another for "games". But most of the content in "apps" consists of games. So why bother having two different categories? Or more pointedly, why can't they keep them separated so that I don't have...

"it's always been slow to respond. " I just assumed that was normal. I have no benchmark to compare it with. I don't know anyone else with a One V. I'll be glad to see the back of it.

I've been assuming that the slowness of my ONE V is normal, it's always been slow to respond. e.g. touching the home button and there's a five second+ lag before it even starts to do anything. Exiting an app, selecting a different one and waiting for that to load can be a 20 to 30 second wait...

SOLVED But worth putting the solution here for anyone else stuck with this. It seems to be for any/many HTC phones, I found the solution in a query about a different model, but it worked. The keyboard has a symbol in the 12# section ( i.e. numbers and symbols). I'd always assumed this just gave...

Thanks, I'll look at that, but I'm happy with the provided keyboard, except when I need to refer to money, and wouldn't really want to make a radical change. Also, I find it incredible to believe that they market the thing in the UK with a UK keyboard and can't be bothered to provide the correct...

My phone says it works in English (UK) in the language and keyboard settings section. But there is only a $ sign. I need a ? sign. I don't use any $s. I do spend ?s The phone is sold widely in the UK, but without apparently the correct currency symbol. The "English" keyboard that comes as...
