Just wondering if anyone has actually seen a 5X - other than their own - in the flesh? I haven't. Mine is the only one I've ever seen. I've also never seen a 6P - or indeed, last year's 6. Not even in a store. Thought about this because yesterday, I actually saw a picture of a model with a...

Just wondering if there is a way to stop the screen turning on whenever the phone is plugged in or out? The cigarette lighter in my car is a well dodgy (technical term) and the power keeps kicking in and out. What this means is that when I have the phone plugged in, the screen is constantly...

Strange one here .. Sometimes (usually when I've been moving about a bit), when I take my phone from my pocket I discover that it has done something like start the music player, turn on the torch or set do not disturb - basically things that can either be done from the lock screen or from the...

Anyone seen anything about how sales are going to the 5X? My impression from the singular lack of activity on here is, not well. Even for a Nexus - and they normally sell about a hundred for every million iPhones sold. I still haven't ever seen last year's N6 in the flesh and I think I only...

When I look at my battery stats I have an app with a black Android icon and the name 99029. It has only consumed 1% of my power but I can't find any trace of it in either Settings .. Apps or Play .. My Apps. Anyone know what on earth it is?

One of my colleagues had a problem with his sammie and is back on his G1 and apparently, loving it. He is the uber-est of uber geeks, though ;)

.. and it wasn't too hard to do either If you have banking apps or PayPal on your phone, you may want to think twice about relying on a fingerprint. To add insult to injury, Sammy dropped another security ball by allowing thieves an infinite number of attempts to break it.

So my USB connection was playing up, dropping in and out and switching focus to an instance of Windows Explorer each time and really annoying me, so I - foolishly, as it turns out - turned off both MTP and PTP so the phone just charged. Which was fine .. Until I decided I needed to have MTP...

According to CNet :D The bad news: click on the link and you get .. page not found :bawling: But at least we now know the price of the cheapest model CNet appears to believe there will once again be 2 models: 16GB and 32GB. Doesn't say where that info comes from, though. EDIT: just...

Just wondering how things were going now people have had 4.3 for a couple of weeks. The number of problems getting reported appears to be slowing - have all the teething issues been sorted :confused: .. or have people just given up :D I still have 4.3 waiting to install .. Just wondering if...

OK, I finally have 4.3 downloaded and ready to install .. BUT I have yet to read of anyone who's actually had good experiences with it! All I've seen are people tearing their hair out with all kinds of problems :eek: So my question is: has ANYONE had good experiences with 4.3 or would the...

.. according to el Reg I don't know whether I'm proud or insulted .. or both :D The comments about the N4 are pretty complimentary, though. Have to say, the selections for the other 6 titles are pretty reasonable. You're never going to agree with everything in a top # selection, but at...

Has anybody worked out how Play Music orders tracks :confused: I have once or twice had it play things in the order they're displayed in the 'album' (I listen to podcasts, so it's a grouping of podcasts rather than an actual album), however usually the tracks are played in what appears to be...

For all those complaining about batter life, this story about a new app from Qualcomm may be of interest. Apparently, after installation, the app spends 3 days* analysing usage then makes changes to how other (often badly designed) apps work in order to improve batter life. Not a new concept...

Anyone else uninstalled the latest version of the Android music player? Apart from a change to the colour scheme, the only difference I see is the removal of some crucial features - deal breaker for me: you can no longer delete podcasts once you've listened to them. And to add insult to...
