I really like the Reminders feature in Google Now and the way they integrate with Inbox. However on my phone (Wileyfox Storm) they fail to load if I'm not online. I know Google updated Now to still show Now Cards when you're offline but (for me at least) the Reminders simply don't load. This is...

Linking to your Google persona is kinda what Android is all about. Wouldn't setting a strong lock screen password reassure you? If you really don't want your mail contacts etc. Then you can tell the tablet not to sync them. Just go to Settings, Accounts& Sync, tap your Google account, and...

Hi, I have re-imaged my rooted 7.7 several times and in general it has always been an improvement over the stock image. I'm currently using the Nexness Pro Jelly Bean image that is based on CM10. The excellent ROM Toolbox Pro includes a tweak to customise the tablet's LCD density: in other...

I got mine a week ago. Yes it was pricey at around $700 and yes it's a Getty import from Hong Kong (I spent the first ten minutes figuring out how to change the language from Chinese to English). But...the tablet is awesome and the screen is superb! Samsung are delaying this release to give the...

I have been running an ICS-based ROM for a while now, and am very happy with it. Galnetmiui is very stable and had some great features. It took me Weeks of trying multiple ROMs before I finally settled on this one, do it'll take something really special for me to move now. Sent from my...
