Might seem an odd question, but how much should I expect the battery to drain on the M8 while playing music? Reason I ask is because I use my phone to help me sleep (brown noise) every night. I use an app called "Chromadoze" which has been fine for me up until now. My old Nexus 5, which I...

I'm guessing this is just an issue with my particular tablet, as I can't seem to find anything to suggest this is a widespread issue, but I just thought I would ask anyway if anyone else has had this issue? Basically, about once a day the rotation just stops working, usually stuck in portrait...

I've tried Unified Remote and WinApp off the market, both highly rated, both practically useless for me, if for example you run a setup program the input just stops working so you have to plug a mouse in to complete which completely renders the app pointless to me. That was just an example, all...

The Note II is probably one of best all round phones around in terms of ability, battery life, camera, but try as I might (for 6 months) I've finally found that the size irritates me. It's too big as a phone for my usage, but not really big enough as a tablet. Hence, I'm moving on. The...

I wondered if there is anything that can be used to remap the hardware buttons. Ideally what I would like to do is this. Menu button - Short press = Recent Apps, Long press = Menu Home button - Short press = Default, Long press = Search Back button remains the same as stock. Any ideas how I...

Problem: Nexus 4 drops the connection to google sync when on mobile data at random. Symptoms: No push email or other background services are coming through. Observations: * Everything works fine on WiFi. * Toggling airplane mode will bring it back, as will a restart. * After just a few...

I'm a little concerned about my current predicament. A month ago I bought a rooted Galaxy Note II second hand. I have had no problems with it until Saturday morning. On Saturday I plugged it in - it was flat because the battery had ran out of juice from the previous night. I left it off and...

Does this happen to anyone else? Quite often if I've been using the N2 in my home, when I go out and about my phone will not be connected to mobile data (3G) and I have to toggle airplane mode for it to kick in?

I'm using some Sennheiser IE6 headphones with it surely fairly respectable. I bought the N2 partially because of the Wolfson DAC, however, I don't quite find it as punchy as my old Galaxy Nexus for sound quality. Its a clean enough output but doesn't have much clout, does anyone else feel this?

Hi all, I was all set on getting the Nexus 4 to replace my Gnex but in a way I was a tad disappointed. I wanted a better camera, more battery life and storage, however, the camera seems only a little better, the battery life is similar and the storage is the same. I had my trigger finger over...

Well? I've had iPhones, and I have had lots of Android phones ranging from Nexus One to my current Galaxy Nexus. Android has come on a hell of a long way, but it still lacks a little polish for me. None of the current crop of Androids really interest me that much (but I am looking forward to...

Having some very bizarre behavior from my Nexus recently. I was trying to set up Latitude when I noticed the phone had my location down as Lynnwood, WA. This is somewhat amusing since I am in Newcastle Upon Tyne, in the UK - so my GPS is a mere 2,350 miles out. :D I tried resetting the data in...

Looks like I'll be keeping my s2 longer than I thought. One of my main criticisms of it is battery life. Currently < 4 hours screen time is normal for me (actually pretty good as other roms were struggling to get 3 at times). How much actual difference does it make? I'm not interested in...

So I just got a Nexus from a local seller on ebay. Got it home, tested everything, seemingly all is good, until I go to put my SIM card in. To summarise:- Put SIM card in phone, doesn't recognise Reboot phone, now picks up network, can go on 3G internet, but cannot make or receive calls or...

I currently have an S2 with CM9 on it, quite happy with it, worked around most of its faults, and it'll continue getting better, but ever since the Nexus was released, I've been drawn to it somehow. Presumably someone on here has used them both, so how does a CM9 S2 compare with the Galaxy...

Just wondering if there are any fixes out there for the lockscreen lag / delay that seem to be an ongoing issue in Samsung based ROMs. For anyone not knowing what I mean, its the way that the homescreen appears briefly after waking the phone before the lock screen appears. Its not a big deal...

Just wondering if anyone has any wallpapers that have a dock area at the bottom (ie an area that is different so to differentiate the dock area to the main screen), particularly if they're designed for touchwiz launcher. I know I could use a different launcher and use a background image but...

I'm after some recommendations for free software that can help locate my phone and perform a remote wipe in the event I lose my phone. Any suggestions?

I am considering using a custom ROM on the transformer, but is it worth it, I am mainly after performance increases. I see on a few that there are higher benchmark results, but does this actually translate into a real world speed increase? I remember some custom ROMs for the original i9000...

So, I've had reasonable battery life now for a while and no real drainage of any description, but for some reason, the last few days, it has started, and I can't really see why... Today it drained the last 22% to completely flat in 28 minutes - I know this because I was using the stopwatch...

I've noticed an annoying bug on my touch screen on my sgs2, and wondered if anyone else has this problem. Basically, the problem seems to be able to be reproduced by, for example, scrolling the settings menu with your finger, then stopping, but leaving your finger pressed on the screen, as if...

Just curious as to what other folks are getting for actual screen on battery time, as in, what do you think you would get in constant screen on usage? I don't suffer from really bad battery drain, I think I could get a couple of days of light use from it.... but it does fair chomp the battery...

OK I've just picked up an Incredible S to replace the iphone 4 that I was bored with (plus I gained some cash in the bargain), and am generally happy, but I do find that the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired, it seems to lack punch and dynamics, and sounds a little flat, which means you...

CM6.1 or MIUI (probably Rod's). I do like the look of MIUI but I'd rather have the fastest, most stable setup and one with the greatest functionality. These are both looking very good indeed these days. So which one and why?

Some one else must surely experience the same thing, but its really doing my head in, and makes smooth scrolling in web pages nigh on impossible to achieve. Basically, I find if I scroll slowly with my finger, much of the time it'll follow my finger just fine, but the second time as soon as I...

OK, so I was trying to flash the Minimal Matte theme onto my N1, and I seem to have bricked the phone. The phone now just sticks at the "X" logo when trying to boot. I cannot access recovery - I get the exclamation mark. I've tried download the Nexus One FRG83 system image from HTC and put it...

OK so hopefully my N1 should get to me tomorrow, and I'm wanting to put a ROM on it (think its just running stock 2.2.1 ATM according to the seller). I'm quite drawn to MIUI at the minute, because of speed and battery life, and I quite like the hybrid iphone/android look, but I have read some...

This happen to anyone else? I was just happily using my phone, press the home button, which took me home as described, then completely froze, which required me to remove the battery. This seems to happen randomly and for no apparent reason, but it IS irritating... Has happened to me regardless...

I decided to give it another chance. I reflashed it from JM7 with Voodoo4 beta and Autokiller - it ran OK, but not particularly brilliantly. I dont know how much of that was to do with backups of old stuff or whatever... Anyway, I've now got JM8 on it, and the Tayatuma (sp?) Lite ROM on it...

Is this just me? Every time i reply to a post, I get a force close. This has happened on almost every firmware I've tried. Just me?

Just been trying jpc, and even with lag fix, it is disappointingly slow and buggy (even when lag fixed), so I plan to go back to eclair for the time being (until an official froyo fw), but which firmware / rom should I use for the best performance in the real world? Not interested in benchmarks...

Anyone else get this issue? Sometimes I will click on a link in a web page, and it will appear to load, and finish loading, but the new page will not appear - it stays on the previous page, and at its worst, has taken almost 30 seconds to show you the new page, even though it has clearly...

I surely can't be the only one having this issue. It doesn't seem to be related to any particular firmware, as its been an issue ever since I got the phone, and I've since had quite a few different FW on it. Someone I spoke to on another forum with an SGS said theirs did this as well...

I've got a decent firmware and its rooted and lag fixed (nearly 2300 on quadrant), but even so it's still not perfect. However, I have noticed that turning off the animations genuinely seems to make the phone fly, I know some of it is just because it takes less time for a screen to just appear...

For a good few weeks, I ran my phone on JG1, and used the MoDaCo lag fix... I wasn't entirely happy with this "solution" maybe because I knew there was a quite strict limit with what could potentially be installed without undoing the lag fix, and then re-applying later - bit too much hassle for...
