    CCTV apps ?

    Thanks for that - i'll look into it later. What I wanted, is to use my phone as a monitor, so that I can see if anyone is around the car whilst I'm away. There used to be an item that would call your phone if the cctv was triggered,,,, but that was before smart phones. cheers

    CCTV apps ?

    Hi all, I am new to smart phones, and so of course, apps. 1) I am looking for a cctv camera for my car. I seem to recall that ? for a price ? a cctv client could monitor their camera on their phone. This was waaaay before smarties. This led me to wonder, is there an app for monitoring such...

    Moto G LTE US/Global versions

    Whilst I'm new to smart phones and apps etc, I bought the Moto G a couple of months ago. Of course I am no expert, but I have also been looking at the Moto g 4g LTE, and can hopefully answer a couple of your points. a) Its called 4G because it supports 4G - so above your 3G requirements. b) As...

    Consecutive addresses in Google Maps : GPS ?

    Hi guys, Can I set Google Maps : GPS with several addresses, to visit one after the other ? without having to re set the next one at each location ? As I'm now disabled, I have to be careful with my budget, so use payg, and I?m trying to set the GPS whilst at home, then turn Data off, so that...

    Moto G: Signal reception & notifications

    Thank you for your help. I'm in the UK, but have no idea just what my unit is. As I have only been in this game for a matter of months, I have a lot to learn. After receiving a reply from Motorola (yep - it surprised me also) I visited my local 02 store. Motorola suggested a Factory Reset might...

    Moto G: Signal reception & notifications

    How do I switch between 2g & 3g etc ? I am new to all this stuff, & been trying a sat-nav app. I was asking about the signal dropping out, and someone suggested that although I might be receiving a cellular signal, it wasn't necessarily a 'data' one - for sat-nav etc. I recall the salesman...

    Text Message charges

    I?m a bit stumped by my unit. A couple of weeks ago, I sent a text message to someone, asking them to contact my email address. When I pressed ?Send?, I got the usual ?your balance is ?20.99?, so I pressed O.K. Within a split second I got another pop up saying ?your balance is ?20.87?,,,, then...

    Newbie asks about Apps

    CoPilot: Thanks guys, I've been playing with this now. I think I have everything I want from it,,,, except,,,, it only has drawn maps, not satellite images. I would have thought it was as easy to upload sat images (especially for an App requiring sat guidance etc) as drawn maps. I have it set...

    Newbie asks about Apps

    Cheers Gavin, If I want to use payg - why would I want to pay-per-month ? If I wanted to pay-per-month, surely I'd look for a contract ? Because I'm disabled, I don't always want to spend ?10 + on my phone. Unless - of course - I'm missing something.

    Newbie asks about Apps

    Cheers Paul (I s'pose I should be called bald baz !) When you say that CoPilot stores map/s on the phone, can they still be used for sat.nav purposes ? That's all I'm interested in, otherwise, I'd use G.Earth & print out a route. I wouldn't mind paying a few quid for a better version - if it...

    Why I switched from Galaxy S4 to Moto G (in-depth)

    Re: Why I switched from Galaxy S4 to Moto g (in-depth) As a complete newbie to smart phones - & this forum - I have taken the liberty of attaching a couple of images that I've just taken. This is the first time I've used the camera, so do not know how use focus > zoom etc. I'm in West...

    Newbie asks about Apps

    Hi all, Thanks for the info in my first post. I am now disabled and budget ain't great. I use 02 payg - so most of my concerns are about running costs. Still basic questions I'm afraid: 1/ SAT-NAV: I've been playing with my 'built-in' sat.nav & quite enjoy it - apart from the amount of data...

    Moto G: Battery Life

    Hi folks, Until I bought this new Moto G, I had two older Motorola's (K1 & L6) which used identical batteries. I bought a couple of spare batteries and used to rotate them. As usual running them right down before recharging. This phone doesn't have a replaceable battery - or does it ? Its a...
