It's down to the phone whether it can auto start playing when the earphones connect. To some extent it can be controlled by the particular app that you use for playback. I remember that the DogCatcher podcast app will auto start when bluetooth connects if you set it do this. There is an app...

I have a Pixel XL and when I got my OnePlus 6 I took a whole load of pictures with both to compare. In most cases there was no difference. Sometimes the Pixel would edge it, other times the OP6 would take the better picture. I tested in both bright daylight and low light. In particular the...

I've put every smart phone I've owned on the windowsill in the bathroom whilst I shower to listen to podcasts. None of them have been ip67/68 certified but survive happily. my OnePlus 6 is arriving tomorrow and I'd expect to do the same with it

Hi, does anyone know if the camera improvements on the pixel are included in the 7.1 beta on the Nexus 6P? It's certainly seems faster to launch and take pictures. I'm wondering how far the improvements go.

Bluetooth has an interesting issue on 7.1.1. I use a Bluetooth speaker to listen to podcasts in the shower and kitchen where it's too noisy for the built in speakers. I notice that if I suddenly move the phone or speaker then Bluetooth drops even when they are only a few centimetres apart. If I...

I was tempted initially but then I realised that all the Note 7 has over the 6p is a marginally better camera, waterproofing and the stylus which I'll probably never use. On the downside is Touchwiz. I'll stick with the Nexus for a good while yet. Posted via the Android Central App

You may find that the vpn has left the proxy settings in your mobile apn. Go to Settings, connections, more networks, mobile networks, access point names and check your apn has no proxy set. Edit and remove it if it does. Posted via the Android Central App

It's an old thread but in case you didn't find out already, it does have a dialler and sms. The sim I have in mine is data only but it should be possible to put in a voice sim and make calls. It's not easy to hold in one hand though and battery life with the screen on is not as good as something...

Ah ok thanks. I got the release a month back but I'd missed that there was another release a week or so ago. Posted via the Android Central App

I've just had another lollipop update. This is the third one I've had. I'm not sure what's changed but it's nice to see that Samsung hasn't forgotten about the S5. Posted via the Android Central App

Mine has the same delay. My S5 is about the same and I think it was the same under kit kat. Posted via the Android Central App

I got mine 3 days ago. The mail app looks a little different, status bar icons are smaller, lock screen and notifications are different but can't see any other differences. Battery life is the same. Mine's the lte version and it might just be a little better at handing on from cell to cell at...

Same problem here with a T705. It seems to have got worse in the last couple of weeks. I have to use airplane mode or restart the tablet every few minutes. Really, bad. Posted via the Android Central App
