    Looking for a dash cam app

    Hi All I'm looking for a solid dash cam app which doesn't require huge storage (maybe something that loops or deleted the video after each journey automatically) and includes a date/time stamp on the video. A free app would be great but equally happy to pay for a high quality solution. Can...

    My first Android phone... LOVE IT :)

    Aaaaand the joy of owing a one plus is gone :( Received an email yesterday from oneplus saying they'd been hacked and there was every chance my card details had been compromised...... Sure enough checked my account and there are withdrawals made to PayPal accounts. Not much but about £80 in...

    My first Android phone... LOVE IT :)

    That's true. In a week of using the platform I've not once felt like I'm putting my personal data at threat. I think it's like any platform...just apply common sense, don't click on links and be careful what you download. With that said , I do get the sense that the app store is bursting at the...

    My first Android phone... LOVE IT :)

    Absolutely. To be honest one of the big advantages to being on a insulated platform like windows phone was a sense of security. Hackers don't tend to target a small user base. I'm feeling more confident with every passing day that Android/Google is probably reasonably secure and a lot of the...

    Hi David, I'll start by apologising for the long response, but wanted to give you a quick analysis of my experience so far. I've had my phone about a week now and haven't come across anything that would cause me a security concern. I haven't downloaded any antivirus software and am relying on...

    Totally. Bottom line, if you buy a £100-150 phone it shouldn't come as a surprise when it turns out to be less than stellar. I think the OnePlus represents best-in-class value. I got the phone (8GB model), a case, screen protector, earphones and 2 charging units for less than half the price of...

    Linking outlook contacts to google contacts

    Hi All :) I'm a recent convert from Windows Phone to Android and am struggling with my contacts/address book. I use a Windows 10 laptop for work and create new contacts in the "people" app, however these won't syncronise automatically with my phone. When I first set up my phone I headed over...

    Alert Slider

    I've just left windows phone myself and started using the OP5T last week. I don't get the slider. Why does it have silent and do not disturb? Also, I keep forgetting to set my phone to silent when it's bedtime. 4:38am today I woke up to some random news alert. Not good. Does android have...

    Thank you :) I've been on windows central for years and believe a strong community makes and platform that much better. I look forward to chiming in :)

    My first Android phone... LOVE IT :)

    The only issue I'm having is with Outlook. I cannot get that dangnabbit app to sync at all, which is a major problem because my 1600+ contacts are all in the outlook cloud too and they won't sync to the phone. It's weird because all my other Microsoft apps (Word, Onedrive, One Note, Skype, MS...

    My first Android phone... LOVE IT :)

    This was a bittersweet purchase. I'd been on windows phone since 2010 and truly loved the platform, but with Andromeda coming it was blatantly clear that windows phone was dead. It was time to move on. I decided early on that Apple was a non starter. Too expensive. Too pompous. And the...
