    Help Quality of the Front Facing Camera

    Do I have a dud, or is the front facing camera actually terrible? I tried to use Skype earlier, in a very well lit room and the screen was virtually black. You could make out some movement and shapes, but it would have been impossible to have a decent conversation.

    Help APN Issues after the 4.3 update

    Apologies if this is a little vague, but I'm asking on behalf of a mate who gave me the details via SMS. He's just has the 4.3 update, using an unbranded handset on the Orange network. Apparently, every time he connects to any Wi-Fi network, it will wipe both his MMS & Internet APN...

    Another update rolling out!

    Sony Xperia Z1 And Z Ultra Getting A Second Android 4.3 Update With Tweaks To Display, WiFi, Bluetooth, And More I hope it does fix bluetooth streaming as it's the only thing I've been annoyed with after the update to 4.3. As usual, I expect UK unbranded to be amongst the last to get it!

    Smartwatch build quality

    I noticed during the week that the glue holding my smartwatch appears to have come unstuck. If I press the back of the watch hard enough the "face" will rise slightly. I've attached a pic, not sure how visible it is though. Anyone else have similar issues (or build quality problems in...

    Quick Look at the Cyanogen edition

    Looks pretty much like standard CM (from what I can remember anyway). What do you think? Would you prefer this over the standard version?

    4.3 Rolling out now

    Android 4.3 now rolling out for Sony Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z Ultra As always, I expect UK unbranded handsets to be lagging behind, but there are several confirmed updates on xda. If you like a bit of bling, you can apparently theme pretty much everything from the navbar up. More themes are on...

    Smartwatch 2 Update

    For those with the Smartwatch, an update rolled out last night/this morning. They've added more watchfaces, changed the default font to make it a little clearer (the display quality in general seems improved tbh) and performance seems to have increased. The time taken to clear multiple...

    Help Magnetic Charging Dock - Cable Length

    Does any one have the DK31 charging dock? How long is the cable? It looks dinky and some Amazon reviews say the same. How long are we talking? 20cm, 30cm?

    Third time's a charm

    Received my 3rd Z1 today and I'm finally completely happy with it. :) My first met a watery grave last week & EE sent me a replacement on Saturday. Whilst the yellow hue on my first was somewhat noticable, the distortion on my 2nd was nothing short of hideous. Whites weren't white, but a...

    I've just picked mine up! :D I think I'm totally network unbranded, no EE apps and no EE logo on startup. If you have yours and are unbranded, can you confirm the software number from Settings -> About Phone please? Is it 14.1.G.1.518? Thanks! :)
