    Anybody exchanged their phone with their carrier since the JB update?

    I'm losing the will to live ;) Like many, my phone has gone all spastic since the JB upgrade and despite trying everything that I can find on the subject to sort it out, it still hangs like a bitch, sometimes freezing for 60 seconds or so while it does whatever it is doing. It is almost...

    Help I have an "Eye" in my notification bar..

    What the hell is it? It comes on three or four times a day for a few seconds. I thought it was the Smart Stay feature that keeps the screen on while you look at it but it's not on. It's quite un nerving, it's like my phone is looking at me because I don't know what it is!! Any ideas...

    Help Gallery in 4.1.2

    Hi Guys, Is there a tutorial anywhere which explains the various features within the gallery? Things like Tag Buddy Face Tag and just general hints and tips. I've spent about 10 mins randomly pressing stuff and it seems quite good but I think I'm missing half of what it's capable of :D...

    Orange Cover

    Just been told some BS about the Government stipulating that I cannot have Phone Insurance for more than 5 years!! I cannot find any reference to this crazy ruling anywhere.... Is Orange telling it's staff to talk rubbish? I recieved a text saying my phone was no longer covered and that I...

    Backed up with Kies and......

    I'd like to know where my stuff has gone :mad: I had loads of notes with various scribbles and the like and I can't find the file that deals with that for love nor money. I don't want to restore the whole back up as I have a new phone and I don't want to clog it up with all my old dross from...

    Barclaycard Pay Tag....

    Anyone using it? I've been sent another one and I can't quite get my head round the lack of security. Basically it's an NFC card which you stick to the back of your phone (or wherever) and it allows you to make small purchases upto

    Battery left percentage

    Hi Guys, I've had to exchange my handset for a factory fresh one and as such, I've spent ages tweeking things to get the fresh handset as close to the old one as I can. I'm almost there but I've noticed that the battery remaining percentage that I used to have displayed in the status bar...

    Bloomin' Batteries Everywhere......

    So the guy in the phoneshop takes one look at the Samsung battery out of my Note and before I've even said anything he tells me it's knackered. I asked him how he knew and he showed me how it had warped as a result of short circuiting :eek: He pulls out his own Note, removes the back cover...

    Finally a good "No Nonsense, Can do" attitude

    I've just had to make an Insurance claim and I'm happy to say, it went without a hitch. My Phone has died and won't boot up so it's of no use to me. After going through the frustrations of the Orange automated system, I finally get to speak to an adviser. An English speaking one :thumb: She...

    GT-N7000 Crashes mid boot cycle

    Hi Guys, Me Note has died :( I have another coming as it was insured :) but my dilemma is this.... I can't switch it on in order to perform a factory reset. This means that potentially, my damaged handset will go back to Orange, be repaired and any personal data that is still on the phone...

    A question to all those with a GT-N7000 (Note 1)

    Just wondered how long you'd had it and now that you have had them a while, what do you think? Here's my take on it... I got mine in May 2012 so it was quite a thing back then :D I have enjoyed pointing out to all my friends that I was right. They made fun of the size of the phone, but since...

    S3 on Orange, a spot of bother with the whole EE thing....

    A friend on Orange with an S3 recieved a text last week telling her all about the wonders of the up and coming EE service and that she should turn her phone off and on so that her phone could be configured to take advantage of the service. This she duly did and now she cannot access the internet...

    Having a spot of bother getting the PC to see the Note

    Hi guys, :D In the past, when I have connected the Note to a PC/Lappy, I have had a choice of if I just wanted it to charge or if I should mount it as drive. Overnight it appears that I can't do this anymore. Anyone know why before I start delving into settings and all that jazz? Read a...
