    Help Can't Connect to Public Wi-Fi

    Don't know if anyone else has this issue .. Whenever I try to connect to a public WiFi network - e.g. at a customer site or an airport - I get the regular warnings about network security but whereas in the past I could eventually get to a login or welcome page in the browser, I now get...

    Android Oreo

    .. anyone installed this yet? I doubt many people have had the OTA update but I believe that you can get the kosher release if you sign up on the beta site now. Any idea how it runs on the 5X? Does it improve anything? Screw anything up?

    Help USB Issues following March Android / Windows 10 Updates

    Yesterday i installed the latest Android security update for March and this morning, my Windows 10 computer installed some updates. Until now, when I plug my phone into my computer, Windows popped up a searching for images page and then, when I switched my phone to USB FIle Transfer mode, it...

    How Uncommon is the 5X?

    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...

    Help Stop Screen Lighting Up on Plug In/Out

    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...

    Help In Pocket Problems

    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...

    5X Sales

    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...

    Help WTF is 99029?

    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?

    Tea Party Fights Freedom

    The oligarchs behind the Tea Party, the Koch brothers (#s 5 and 6 on the global rich list), are at it again: this time they're spending their money to fight AGAINST consumer choice, business competition and autonomy for individual Americans and FOR additional NEW taxes. Why? To protect their...

    Fingerprint Security HACKED!

    .. 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.

    HTC Again the One to Beat?

    Just read this review of the new HTC One and I have to say it sounds totally awesome. For me, it's not quite as flat out gorgeous as last year's model but it's certainly cute and the review suggests it's even better built than the current iPhone. Which is praise indeed - whatever you think of...

    Today's USA: the Most Unequal Society Anywhere, Ever

    Just read this fascinating discussion about Capital in the Twenty-First Century in The New Yorker. The book summarising a couple of decades of research and is currently pretty much the biggest news among economics academics - so big that the US publication date has actually been brought...

    Too Little Too Late: Nokia to Launch a 'Droid

    It seems that, at least 3 years too late, soon-to-be-Microsoft Nokia are finally about to release a phone running Android :eek: Unfortunately, the phones will be low-end and aimed at developing markets so we're probably not going to see them in Europe or the US. The reason soon-to-be-MS...
