Okay. Well that's a pain but I guess that's what I get for impulse buying cheap used phones.

For 40 quid then it's worth the buy. If you're rooting and flashing then I'd go with CM12 (Cyanogenmod Lollipop) rather than Android 4.4. Both work fine and both are exactly the same amount of effort but CM is better (Lollipop as it should work).
Cool. I'm only getting it after the october holidays (next week here in DK is holiday) but I'll do that CM12 thing when I do get it.
My iPhone on 9.0.2 is really starting to fuck me off.
I had two weeks of the Cellular Data toggle switches not working. Now the spotlight search (that I always use) has just decided to stop working.
Whenever I go to an Apple Store they just tell me "go home and do a full restore". Bunch of cunts.
Its made my ipad2 quite slow as well.
Giggles, the Moto G (3rd Generation) or the Moto X Play?
Or, are there any other decent mid-range Android phones in play right now?
The X from those two. The first gen Nexus 6 is worth a look too if you can deal with the size. Definitely needs to be held before buying. The new Nexus 5X is nice too but you're only getting the 16GB for £50 more than the Moto ones.
Sony have committed to updates on the Z3's too, so the compact is worth a look in that price range also.
I've just moved from 4.4.4 to 5.1 on my Moto E. Fucking lol is all I can say. What a giant massive mistake, now it's not even any good as a phone because everything takes about 5 minutes to open.
Yeah that's a good point for Mahow too actually. Motorola have really gone to the dogs under Lenovo, get the Z3 Compact or the Nexus 6 (Motorola built, but Google look after the software).
The 3rd Gen is absolutely atrocious, two people in work have it and they fucking hate it.
I think I'll go for the Z3 compact then.
Just a shame that my step-sister left O2 last month and EE wont give out any more NHS family and friends discounts, clearly they hate the health professionals and/or their family.
Fucking hell now it doesn't send texts.
Didn't you update it a month ago or is this a different phone/another upgrade fuck up?
That was the 2nd Gen that was also a fucking disaster. I'll never ever touch another Motorola having experienced the 1st gen G + E and the 2nd gen G.
On the lookout for a phone for the missus. Interesting to hear about the Z3, Giggs. Was going to get her to just get an LG G3, how does it compare? You had one right? (or was it a G2 you had?)
Lollipop has been WAY better for me on my Moto G since the update yesterday.
I had a G2 which was an absolutely brilliant phone. Still have it, I try out custom ROMs on it from time to time and its great. I've a G4 as well which was wank and just gathers dust, though I use it occasionally for the camera.
The Mrs has a G3 and it's great. Bar the camera I'd have it over the G4, though I'd still just about go for the Z3 over it. Dat battery The waterproofing and all that is nice to have too and the camera would be slightly better than the LG.
EDIT: The software can be a little ugly on LG phones too. Sony is a lot closer to plain Android which I like. Have a look on YouTube at some software videos to see which you like.
Cool, I've got a G3 and almost a little jealous of the Z3.
Z5 worth looking at?
One thing I will say is that the G3 is definitely a nicer looking phone than the Z3. When the two are sitting on the table here you can see how well LG did filling up most of the body with screen. The Z5 looks awesome altogether, there's a Z5 Premium on the way too that has a 4k screen and an extra 550mAh of battery in it too. I don't need it, but I'll convince myself that I do.
If you like the LG's, the new V10 might be worth a look too. Not tried one yet but by all accounts they've sorted the touchscreen and battery issues, and the little secondary display looks handy. You also get the manual camera controls from the G4 on video as well as photo. Has two front cameras for widescreen selfies if that's your bag too.
Decided on a Z5 compact.
£30 upfront and I get the phone with the exact same deal and price I was going to take the Z3 compact for.
Nice one, looks a class bit of kit.
Got my shitty budget Windows Phone to update to Windows 10
All it needs is a better Twitter + YouTube app and you're sorted.
I haven't noticed any slowdown and it might even be a bit faster through the menu's. It's a shame you can't edit the colour of individual tiles for the ones that are just a white logo. Why can't I make my Tinder icon orange instead of whatever my tile set is set to. I just want to be able to colour co-ordinate my tiles and then we're done.
Factory reset the piece of shit, cleared the partition cache and now I can send texts.
Got the most recent Samsung Galaxy for new workphone yesterday. I like having one Android and one iPhone (work / private in no particular order), so that means I need to replace my current private phone (a really old Samsung) with a new iPhone, since I'll lose my current workphone and it has lots of pictures and other stuff in it I want to transfer over to a new phone.
It pains me a bit, because I have a very strong appreciation for that old Samsung, as shit as it is (especially now).
I programmed some of my NFC stickers that arrived yesterday. So fucking handy.
HTC One A9 in the US - 32GB storage, 3GB RAM, $400.
HTC One A9 in the UK - 16GB storage, 2GB RAM, $725 (£470).
Tidy one HTC.

That's taking the fucking piss.
Didn't they do this before? Or was that Apple?
Is everything in the US ridiculously cheaper?
And why is the UK so expensive? Our wages aren't really any higher are they? This country's shite.
Hi fellas,
I have a Samsung S4 Mini, which i'm switching to a S6.
The problem is, I want to download all my photos onto my PC (Windows 8), but when i connect the USB cable to the PC it says it does not recognise the device. I've tried downloading the latest Samsung drivers, but still no joy.
Anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it?
Thanks.
On my Samsung tablet if I go to settings and storage, there is a 3 dot menu top right. Should be there.
If that is already on PTP, try enabling USB debugging:
Settings, About phone, software.
Keep tapping build number until you get a message saying you're a developer.
There will be a new menu above About Phone caller Developer Options.
Go in there and switch on USB debugging and plug in.
Need a new phone.
Was thinking about LG G4, the iphone 6s, xperia z5 premium, and the galaxy s6....any thoughts lads?
The Z5 is the latest release and the current best of the bunch imo tbh.
Alright I've just picked up the Moto G. What should I do in order to get it working?
Throw it in the bin.
