Im currently still using Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread as I was worried upgrading would reduce battery life + make some apps not function, but I was wondering what people think about the latest android version and whether or not I should upgrade to it?

My brother noticed his Xperia S has a firmware update available, should he go ahead and update?

Temple Run on my brothers Xperia S runs very irregularly. It will be smooth one moment then either freeze up or jerk/hitch the next. The game runs great on my Samsung Galaxy S2 so I dont understand why he is having problems as his phone is slightly higher spec. Is this a common problem with the...

Last night my brothers Xperia S was charger to 100%, however today he found overnight it had dropped to 46%! Which seems crazy to me, I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and it only uses around 4% overnight. I took a screenshot of the battery usage: The only widgets he has is the pre-installed...

On the google play store it says Asphalt 5 is unavailable for the SGSII, same story on the gameloft website. However I decided to download and install an apk from an 'alternate source', just to test it, and it works! It plays butter smooth unlike Asphalt 6, and it even works with my bluetooth...

I understand modern 3D games use a lot of CPU/GPU power but I just wanted to make sure that this is normal. When playing 3D games such as Modern Combat 3 my screen gets very warm, not too hot to use but very warm nevertheless. The back of my phone gets really warm too, despite me having a case...

Is there a widget that allows easy switching between 2G and 3G networks? I dont have auto mode on as it wastes a tonne of battery so would love to have a widget that will let me switch between the 2 without having to go into the menu's. EDIT: Never mind, seems google dont allow these sorts of...

My brother has just gotten an Xperia S and for some reason when he goes to unlock it an ad banner has appeared in the centre of his home screen. It seems to appear randomly. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and havent experienced any ads appearing on my home screen. Is there a way to stop this happening?

I dont know if this is normal (ive only had my Galaxy S2 for a few weeks) but scrolling between home screens is very unsmooth for me. I only have 3 home screens, I have the default Clock widget and 4 folders on the first, a music player widget and 8 apps on the second, and a data usage widget...

Ive been thinking about getting the official Samsung Battery Extender kit (with the 2000mAh battery) as I game quite a lot and find my battery life gets eaten up quite quickly. However i'm currently on the fence, will it increase heavy usage battery life by much? Ive heard the '3 hours extra...

I was wondering how I can uninstall and remove all data associated with certain games? I know how to uninstall things using the applications menu but this only removes the basic installer part of the game, not the actual game files.

I decided to make an account here as my provider (o2) has proved unsuccessful in helping solve this issue, hope you guys are smarter than they are! :cool: For some reason when running Kies software my phone will not update to ICS, it claims the latest firmware is already installed (I current...
