    Good quality, well supported, if not particularly powerful tablet?

    Helping out with some work on some android games at the moment and finding my HTC One S screen a bit small for doing proper testing, so looking to get a tablet. I won't be using it that much, and thus would like to spend as little as possible, however I'd like something with decent build and...

    Best android camera phone? (low light)

    Lusting after the Nokia pureview and wishing they hadn't gone Microsoft isn't getting me anywhere - my ageing but sneakily updated HTC one S is generally a good phone but the camera is just awful, especially in low light where it just doesn't seem to be capable of taking a decent photo. Are...

    Better Email Widget than HTC Sense? (no Launcher)

    Recently managed to get the new Sense on my HTC One S which is great having been stuck on android 4.1.1 for ages. However, the email widget is even more ridiculous a change than from 4.1.0 to 4.1.1 - in the old one you could get about 8 emails on the widget display, this then went down to 6...

    Best visual voicemail app? UK

    Before everyone recommends Google voice I should point out I'm in the UK and Google voice is US only! Can anyone recommend alternatives? I'm on a rooted phone running cyanogen mod 10.2. Also happy to pay for the right app, but free is better!

    Help What is the latest android version for HTC one s?

    I've been stuck on 4.1.1 for an age and am sick of the bugs and drop in battery life. When I try searching for info on the latest version, I keep finding stories of '4.1.2 out on tmobile us', from way back in March, and other stories speculating that 4.2 may be coming out, but no stories...

    Three's data is MUCH cheaper than all other networks - what's the catch?

    I'm currently on O2 and seriously looking to switch despite being with them for 10 or so years, they aren't able to make any deals with me on data which I am using more and more of as phone online features become more and more useful to me, and content richer - my 500MB is typically lasting me...

    O2 UK upgrades won't budge on SIM-only pricing. Can they?

    I've been with O2 for about 10 years and have usually worked myself out a decent deal at the end of each contract. Last year that didn't end too well as I wanted an HTC One S, but whatever they offered me as a combined phone / contract it was significantly cheaper to buy the phone outright and...

    Keeping Google Maps Active

    Is there any way to stop Google Maps going 'idle' when it isn't in the foreground? It's particularly annoying if i'm on, say my bike with my phone in my pocket, and every time I need to check where I am I have to wait for it to update my position which it occasionally gets stuck doing and I...

    Got an HTC One S - should I have got the Galaxy S3?

    After much thought, I recently purchased an HTC one s. It had the best balance for me on terms of cost, features, and camera quality. However, I noticed the galaxy is only a touch larger, and has been getting rave reviews, and has a bigger community. are there any compelling reasons to...

    Help More noticeable notifications?

    I've recently purchased an HTC one s after running a nokia n8 for the last few ouple of years and I'm mostly very happy with it. The one thing I'm not too keen on though is the way it notifies me of missed calls texts etc. A tiny green led behind the speaker that is often obscured by the...

    Good Older (1yr+) Android Phones?

    After much procrastination and not finding a phone that would fully replace the handful of good features on my Nokia N8 - I've decided with my budget my best course of action would be to buy a reasonable second hand Android phone and wait to see if the new Nokia 808 inspires phone makers to put...

    Best UK Network?

    :call: I've been with O2 for many years now as I felt they offered very good customer service, however I've become increasingly unhappy with them over the last year with regular 'Sorry!' errors when browsing, apparently poorer internet performance than their rivals (any truth to this?) and very...

    Why is the HTC One S So Expensive? (UK)

    As far as I can tell the current HTC One line is: X = Top of the range S = Midrange V = Budget The X costs typically

    Thinking of upgrading from Symbian phone - Android Questions

    I've had an HTC Desire in the past (now belongs to my mother) but bought a Nokia N8 18 months ago for the camera. I'll be honest, the N8 is a bloody awful phone. Well, it's nice physically and camera is very good, but operating it is so bloody clunky and slow and buggy and unintuitive and just...

    HTC Desire - Latest Android Version? On O2 UK?

    Did HTC ever make 2.3 available for the Desire? Did O2 UK ever pass this on to their customers? Reason I ask is that my mum has a Desire and it says it's 2.29 (can't remember the next bit sorry and currently not able to access it) and no updates available - could have sworn HTC releasing...
