    Curious about your Smartphone History

    I can't remember the model I had before the 3GS, but it was a Samsung and my dad is currently uses it. There's nothing 'smart' about it!! ;)

    What Samsung's marketing machine has accomplished

    I'm just thankful that the micro USB cable is so generic and is used in a lot of electrical goods, like Kindles and the like!

    Samsung Galaxy S3 charging issue

    I've been through 2 USB cables and 1 mains plug adaptor in the last year or so, even though I don't move either the plug or cable away from where it's plugged in by my bedside table. I think the accessories (especially the ones that come with the phone) are pretty crappy in quality.

    Phone upgrade need help

    What's the objective view on the iPhone 5 vs Galaxy S4? What's the tail of the tape? Not being a great techy, I'd be interested what the impartial view is (taking off your Android hats! ;-) )

    What Samsung's marketing machine has accomplished

    Although I'm still longing for the day when there are an equal number of Samsung accessories (earphones, cases, etc.) to iPhone accessories....

    Just saying

    I've been signed up for a while and have used it to sort out the odd issue with my S3 (I initially signed up just to post a thank you to someone who's advice I followed to remedy a freezing problem on my S3).

    best antivirus for android?

    I use the AVG Free app on my S3. Being extremely shallow, I use this particular app because I like the widget that shows the mobile data use percentage for the month. I've never had a virus on my phone, mind you I can't pin that down to whether the app is doing a job or not!

    Do you use Power Saver all day?

    I've never had any problems with battery life (touch wood) when not using the Power Saver mode, I don't use any apps like Juice Defender either as it sounds like it can mess up your phone's automatic functioning/connections. If I'm going to be out of WiFi range, I just make sure I turn the WiFi...

    Curious about your Smartphone History

    Blimey, you all seem to have got through a lot of phones!! :D I'm a martyr to the 24 month contracts, I'm afraid, and am too tight to pay my way out of them. I went from an iPhone 3GS to the Galaxy S3 about a year ago. I'm not brand loyal at all, I happened to go from iPhone to Android just...

    New Google Music app.. thoughts?

    I quite like the Google Play Music app. The UI is pretty easy to navigate, the colours scheme isn't so great but I'll live with it. I only use the app to play ripped CDs (old school), the majority of which are imported from iTunes, and pin and unpin albums as and when. Just being very...

    Lightnshade- you are an absolute star, I could kiss you! I wouldn't have had the first clue on what to google, etc. My phone is now back up and running as good as it was over a month ago!
