THE SMARTPHONE THREAD

[Guest TRAGEDY]

Probably gonna put all the focus on Motorola.

Lol they sold Motorola yesterday

Gonna buy moto G before they sell out

for good.

[Guest TRAGEDY]

worst flip ever

bought for $12bil, sold for $3bil

think the issue was it was seen as a conflict of interest with Android partners

Nexus line is as well

All bout the patents.

[Yoshie]

Are they really discontinuing the Nexus line?
Was looking at a Nexus as my next phone.

[Guest TRAGEDY]

Its a rumor.

[Greens]

Could be the end of cheap high spec smartphones

[Guest TRAGEDY]

Could be the end of cheap high spec smartphones

yep

[Lenny]

They only wanted Moto for the patents, Google has money to burn.. I doubt the loss affected them

[Seymour Cake]

This don't makes sense to me at all. Why are discontinuing nexus? What's the reason?

It's a growing product, with still much more potential in every aspect

[dub]

they don't make profits from the Nexus line, they're bar-setters, to show other manufacturers how its done

they make profits from the software

[dub]

Also after Nexus 6 they'd have to come up with a new naming scheme

[Creed Diskenth]

Anyone know where in London I can get my Note 2 glass fixed?

The screen is fine just the outer glass shattered.

Anywhere I have looked are trying to charge me for full replacement

[Guest TRAGEDY]

Should have got insurance bro.

[Creed Diskenth]

 

That's not what i want too hear

[Lenny]

The glass and screen on phones these days are fused together.

Its gonna be an expensive fix

[Creed Diskenth]

Yeah, that's the problem

 

I can try it myself but it looks a madness

[cambridgebanteer]

I did it on my gs3, you need to use a hairdryer to melt the glue between the front glass and digitiser, it's not that hard.

[ONELOVE]

Geeksquad insurance is about 15 a month..meh.

 

Note 3 screen cost around 120 to replace..Note 2 price shouldnt be that much difference.

I got £15 for a year might damage my phone on purpose just to get a new one.

[Lenny]

Three has switched on their 4g service

No extra charge

[Tee]

has the network improved ??

 

 

/

 

 

whats the best network for signal now tho

 

i need to jump off orange

 

since them & t mobile have linked up my signal has been so shit when im at work

[Lenny]

I've had no problems with three tbh.

I only drop signal when I'm on the train, and even that's rare

[Flex]

Nexus 5 would be perfect if it wasn't for the battery life, its actually appalling, cannot get through a day.

[Tee]

Tbh

For me every mobile batt don't last past midday

Rolling with the charger is standered

[Flex]

Might invest in one of these portable battery things from Amazon - anker or or powergen, but this is all long.

[Simply D]

I regularly at night plug my phone back into the carger with 40%+ left on the battery. N thats with normal use throughout the day whatsapping/surfing/calls etc...

The only thing I dont do is the whole listening to music jazz. N tbh it depends in the type of headphones you have too asto how much charge is drawn too!
