When I first got my Moto X a few months back, the battery life was (relatively) good - I could go from 7am to 10pm easily and still have some charge left. However, in the last couple of weeks it's been going into battery save mode around 4 - 5 pm. I've checked the battery usage stats and it...

Morning All, I always put my Moto X into aeroplane mode overnight when I put it on charge. Every morning there are notifications on the screen. I thought maybe they had come in just after I put it into aeroplane mode. However, last night I used the phone as an alarm and all night there were...

As of this morning (I think), the background to the auto correct word suggestions when I'm typing in an email etc have turned white rather than black. Makes it rather difficult to read! Strangely, if I turn the phone landscape its OK! Has anyone else seen this? Cheers, Al.

Afternoon All, I bought my wife a 2013 N7 for Christmas (was bought around October last year from the Play Store). Every now and again (few times a week) the touch screen completely freezes and won't respond. For the first few times I thought it was one of those things and held down the...

Evening All, My wife has an SGS4 Mini and managed to drop it today - result one shattered screen. I've seen various guides on doing it yourself, but she's not had it that long so I'd rather get a professional to do it. Searching online reveals many options, some more dubious looking than...

Morning All, As of today I am the proud owner of a new Nexus 4. Shame its at home and I'm at work, but there you go :) Wondering if anyone had any recommendations for accessories? I'm particularly interested in a case, screen protectors and a car holder. I have a leather case for my...

I flashed JellyTime last week and have been using the Beautiful Widgets weather widget on my home screen. Just yesterday it started to stop getting any weather information - it shows the next 5 days as sunny (clearly doesn't realise I live in the UK!), shows the name of each day as 'Lun'...

Evening All, Yesterday I flashed Jellytime onto my DHD and have one small issue - I can't change the ring tone! I go into Settings - Sound and choose ringtone and it dumps me into ES File Explorer. I'm expecting to see a list of ringtones but can't find any. Is this normal for JT? Al

I signed up for Google Music a few months back and uploaded loads of my music so I could play it on my phone or tablet. I have been having problems lately, though, where I notice distortion in the songs. Its difficult to describe, but its a bit like a buzzing noise. It happens on my Desire HD...

I have been having issues using Google Navigation lately. I'll be happily driving around with everything working OK, and then the navigation app will just stop responding - the position on the map doesn't update, no more directions given. Eventually, its says "Searching for GPS.." and it stays...

What ROM are you running, out of interest? I tried an ICS one a few weeks back and it was so unstable I could barely get the phone started. New to rooting, mind you, so may well have been me! Al

Morning All, I have a Desire HD running CM7 which I first rooted a few weeks ago. I have noticed in the last week or so that my GMail has not been syncing. If I go into the GMail app there are no new messages listed, no notifications yet on my Nexus 7 or the GMail website there are clearly...

Hi, If I go to someone in the people app who I have an address for, the address shows up with a little icon next to it. It used to be that I tapped this icon to see the address in google maps and I could navigate etc. However, it now opens up in the Locations app, which I don't like. I...

Evening All, In the last couple of weeks or so (difficult to say exactly how long, I don't use it a huge amount), my Friends Stream has stopped working. It just says 'Loading...', if I tap the bottom of the widget to update it, it just says 'Updating..' and never shows anything. Same...

Hi, Wonder if someone can advise on something. I was looking through my photo gallery last night on my DHD and there are a number of pictures which appear fine as thumbnails, but when I tap them to see full size, I just get a blank screen. The photos are there, because I can scroll through...
