THE SMARTPHONE THREAD

No best, depends if you just want something light or some mad rugged protection like those screw in ones.

Google drive is quite sick, especially seeing as I got the nexus 7 too, very handy see in as it's not limited to just photos and music.

[gattsu]

weird problem for those that use poweramp

its listing my songs twice even though there is 100% one file its listing it as two

wtf?

Go to settings, music and folders, then select the folder all your music is in (it helps to have all your music in one location instead of all over the SD card), then rescan.

That's what I had to do once and it's been fine since.

I use Rocket Player

This works

U guys recommend a 3rd party music player over the stock one then?

[Seymour Cake]

Poweramp

[Flex]

Cheers pal!

[Sinister]

Poweramp all the way, the stock Samsung one is shite.

 

Also, on offer at £0.60 at the moment in the store.

 

No reason to not buy it.

Copped the nexus 5 today, might go as far as saying I've never been so impressed with a bit of kit before!

Got a free Nexus 7 as well

You notice a big difference from the 4?

[Taurus]

Might be a dumb question but how do I get flash working on my s4? Wont allow me to stream football

[dub]

Not a silly question, Flash has been discontinued for Android but you can get it working using the links here

Once you've got it installed use Firefox or a different browser that supports it.

Major jump Imo

Screen quality, processing power and design are all fucked

Shame about the shoddy loudspeaker though

[dub]

you bought it on contract? swear that usually defeats the purpose of buying a cheaper phone, what deal you get?

[YFSD]

Who said I'm getting it because it's cheaper? I love the phone

Unlimited mins and texts

2gb data

Free Nexus 7

40pm

[dub]

Nah I mean it is cheaper, so to get it on contract seems unnecessary. If you're happy with your deal that's fine.

 

But ('cause I don't like seeing people get locked into contracts unnecessarily)...

 

Virgin Media (EE network) unlimited everything = £15/month

Nexus 5 at £300-£340 over 24 months = £12.5-£14.2 /month

= £27.5-£29.2/month over 24 months

 

So if you're on 18 months, or 24 months and the Nexus 7 is 32GB or LTE you're getting a good deal. Otherwise I'd go get this deal and not be locked to your contract.

[Seymour Cake]

Those with nexus 5, switch to ART in the developers section, makes the phone even more efficient and prolongs daily battery life.

[Seymour Cake]

Just taken off vibrate keypad input.

So much better. No need for my phone to vibrate after every letter I type.

If anyone else wants to take it off, it's in settings, then keyboard settings.

I'm sure the battery will last about longer too.

I got a free Nexus 7 which helped twist my arm having no laptop/fully use able tablet atm.

Plus I got LTE.

Nice write up though, definitely good!
