Error 53 is no longer a thing apparently

Double posts, however....
Feels like I'd need to spend a shit load to untap the full potential of the G5. Most of the cool features are related to the extras. The phone itself still doesn't make me think I need to upgrade my G3, just as the G4 didn't.
So my S5 was broken for a while in terms of call quality (horrible echo for the other end of the connection, shite audio through bluetooth etc) so it went in for repair and Samsung invalidated the warranty because it had a hairline crack at the bottom of the phone. LOL.
Now I'm getting a Samsung J5, which looks like an absolute pile of turd. Fuck my life.
I can't get my computer to recognise my phone (S5) to put some stuff onto it.
Did you try switching it between PTP and MTP? Or if the files aren't too big then just use Google Drive/Dropbox/OneDrive.I can't get my computer to recognise my phone (S5) to put some stuff onto it.
The photos don't even do the S7 Edge justice
Definite purchase.
Aye but that didn't seem to help. It recognised it after I restarted a couple of times. I dunno what was up with it. It said something about the usb device malfunctioning. I think it was the computer's fault rather than the phone.
I've not seen one in person yet. Is it that good?The photos don't even do the S7 Edge justice

J5 not a bad phone, actually. 5.1.1 too. 8GB storage though.
Yep, they've fixed most of the shitness of the 6 but the size and back of it is great. Those capacitive buttons though
When you say the shitness of the 6, what kind of things do you mean?
Tiny battery and no SD slot mainly. Though once I've a 32GB phone and cloud storage I'm fairly set so the latter is less of an issue. The little curve on the back as opposed to the flat on the 6 makes a much bigger difference than I thought it would too.
EDIT: In fairness, shitness was the wrong word as the GS6 is lovely, but they've definitely improved on its weaker points. The screen size in the new Edge is perfect for me too. Same size as the G4.
Yeah the battery is the only negative I've had with it so far, getting the 128Gb version on offer was the clincher as it completely negated the lack of expansion.
How does it hold up in real life? I believe it lasts better than it's mAh suggests but is still hard to push a day out of it.
Have you had the 6.0 update on yours yet? I hadn't seen the Touchwiz version of it until the S7 and it's as much of an improvement looks-wise as the 5.1 version was last time round.
I normally get at least a day and a half, but I tend to switch everything off if I'm not using it so I never have data left on or anything like that. The Xperia really had it beat with battery life, but I can live with that. Still on 5.1.1, apparently the upgrade is due any day now.
Anyone able to recommend a good docking station for an iPhone 5? All it needs to do is stand the phone up properly and charge it, nothing fancy.

I have the version of that where you can connect headphones to it too.
The Belkin stuff tends to be good quality too.
Cheers, was looking at that one so it's good to hear a positive review from someone here too.
The S7 is
One day they'll get a half decent OS and it'll be worthwhile.
I don't mind it, apart from the menus which look like the children's version of the Xperia equivalent.
Marshmallow isn't bad at all on it, fairly toned down. That said, Nova went on it after an hour like it does on every phone.
This is my problem. I'm a Graphic Designer, I can't spend most of my day on a phone that looks like it does. Even Windows Phones have better design credentials.
The main thing for me with M over L is that they've finally got rid of the luminous green and blue colour scheme for the notification bar and menus. The white is much more reserved now. It's still a massive pain in the bollocks that you can't move the app drawer button though and the app drawer itself was thought up by someone on crack, though Nova sorts those two perfectly.
I only got my own one yesterday so I still need to go through still and get rid of all the Samsung shit I don't need, though that's fairly whittled back in this version too. Browser, S-Health, S-Voice, S-Planner, and Messages and I'll be good to go.
Think my iPhone 4S has finally give up the ghost. Was working okay this morning until about 8:30AM but the screen wouldn't come on since, although it would still ring and make a noise if I got a text. Just plugged it into my computer now and iTunes has said it's in recovery mode and needs updating. There goes my jailbreak; so bye-bye TomTom.
I'm a twit
Can't you update it and jailbreak it again?
The latest iOS hasn't had a jailbreak released for it, and Apple made it so you can't put older versions of iOS on.
Shouldn't be long before iOS 9.3 comes out, complete with a jailbreak, but for the time being I've gotta rely on the absolutely diabolically shit in-car sat-nav system.

I didn't think the 4S would be updatable to the latest version of iOS at all.The latest iOS hasn't had a jailbreak released for it, and Apple made it so you can't put older versions of iOS on.

Hahaha same, actually. Served me well for many years though, can't fault it, even if the back is cracked to hell from multiple drops. Front is fine though, at least when the screen comes on.
My mum's just got a new phone, so gave my dad her old one, meaning his 4S is going spare if mine does die. His was white though.
Google says a new jailbreak came out today, but it's only compatible with the 5S/C onwards. Could be the end of 4S jailbreak.
edit..

But Baz, if your phone has broken how on earth will the past ring you?
This thing is definitely beasting it on the battery front so far.
S7 or the S7 Edge?
The Edge. Getting over 7 hours screen out of a charge.
That's quite impressive. The battery is the reason I went 6+ instead of just the 6.
Does it still charge up crazily fast?
About 70-80 mins from 0 to 100 if you leave it alone during charging. I do want to get myself a wireless quick charger though.
Upgrading to Marshmallow has improved the battery life on my S6 quite drastically, this Doze thing does wonders.
I presume it's the same version that's on the S7, so you must find a bit of a difference in the interface too. I was fairly pleasantly surprised with the Marshmallow version of Touchwiz.
It all does seem that little bit more sleek and clean. The only downside was it going haywire with the images in the music player so I had to clear that and download everything again, but worth it for the battery boost.
This thing really is a monster for battery. My last phone used to be pushed to hit 4.5 hours.
Is the standard S7 anywhere close to that?
I have the 6+ and I'd like to go a little smaller next time. A UHD screen and better camera also appeal to me.
I've seen reviews say the S7 hits around 5 hours (thought the same ones say the Edge hits 6), so I'd say it'd be a big improvement. We definitely seem to have got the good end of the battery life this side of the Atlantic.
The camera is really good too. Finally iPhone fast and the focus speed is brilliant.
Seeing as we don't have a tablet I'm going to ask here.
What's the best Android tablet around at the moment? I've just fucked my Tab S by dropping it on the bathroom floor which has obliterated the screen.
The Tab S2, the Xperia Z4, or the Pixel C. The latter being the top of the lot but wouldn't go wrong with any.
The Nvidia Shield K1 is great value if you didn't mind going to 8".

Was eyeing the Pixel C (with a keyboard because I hate typing on a tablet) and that has just secured it.
Edit: Well, if they ever fucking send me a code.
That's a brilliant deal, I might use some UK cards/forwarding to see can I get on that too. I had one for a couple of weeks and have been wanting to buy one.http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/goog...google-2411910

EDIT: Though it looks like that might come with Android N on it because of the Developer thing.
That said, it's due the second developer release soon and the first was fairly stable so I'd say it'll be very useable until the actual release.
Didn't realise Google had a new tablet out. Is the Nexus not dropping in price?
