Hi, I'm not sure if anyone can help but here goes. I have an HTC One S running JB and the VPN works great either using 3G or Wifi. I have a Macbook Air that I tether to the HTC (using mainly Bluetooth but it works OK with wifi) so that I can use the 3G data on the road. Now the Macbook works...

I have been using the JB update on my S for about 3 weeks now - and to be perfectly honest, after all the hype, am feeling a bit underwhelmed. I suppose it was my fault by expecting something big as it is only a software update, but I hardly notice the difference to ICS. Yes it does seem faster...

I need a phone to be usable in very noisy environments, so is there a top line Android phone that has very strong vibration - I'm talking about the type of vibrate off the table the old Nokia brick phones used to have. Also would like it to have a really loud ring volume.

I feel that is a failing of the android system then - as in much of the world the practice is to buy the handset from an independent retailer and insert the sim from your chosen carrier, you don't have carrier specific apps. If you cannot upgrade a handset bought on the open market then it will...

Thanks for the reply. It seems a bit silly to have to wait for the updates from the carriers that may or may not ever arrive - why doesn't Android do the same as Apple and allow you to go to their website and download the updates at your convenience?

How is it 'pushed'? - I am using a One S in the Middle East that is not supplied by the local carrier, so who pushes out updates? Sorry if I seem a bit dumb about this but am a newby to Android from Iphones Edit: thinking about it would it work if when I was next in the UK or US I put in a...

I'm not totally clear how you update from ICS to JB if you didnt buy the phone locked to a particular network. I have a HTC One S and am living in the Middle East, I didnt purchase the phone from the phone company and this model is not supported by the carrier. Is there a way you can update the...

I am now using the bestskinsever protector and it is the best by far. Surface is very smooth and non sticky, the orange peel effect which you get on most skins is also barely noticeable. Overall a very good product. Sent from my HTC One S using Android Central Forums

Hi all, had the Ons S for a few weeks now and apart from the very poor ringer volume am very happy with it. I am having trouble finding a decent screen protector though, I have just switched from iphone and always used Moshi anti-glare but they dont do one for the One S. So first protector I...

I have started using the Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case and like it a lot for work (the phone bounces when I drop it) - the screen protector they supply is crap though, most 'smeary' that I have ever used. Have got a matt screen protector coming in the post so hope that cures the...

Here's mine - bit boring I know, but works for me

Hi - just swapped to Android from iphone and got the One S mainly due to the build quality, just didn't fancy a plastic phone after my iphone. Had the One S for a week now and very impressed, I like Android (much more configurable than iphone) and I like the phone itself although have just a...
