    I certainly don't. Just don't want the bitch moaning. All I've heard is fucking moan moan moan for the past 6 probably more months about the S3. LiquidSmooth is starting to develop bugs and I can't be arsed putting another ROM on it...though that's exactly what I'll be doing when I take it.

    Unlike Samsung Hawei probably won't release an update that cripples the phone that forces me to root and custom ROM it.

    Samsung are still up to the same shit now. Absolutely fucked the S7 Edge with updates.

    There's an Honor 8 coming out now too. Probably be closer to the £300 than £200 but should make the price of the 7 take a cut.

    Just put a different custom ROM on the S3 (Archidroid 3.1.3 (5.1.1)) which is supposed to be the best performance. Looks good so far apart from I had to re-flash it as it came up black last time and I thought I'd bricked it LOL. All good now.

    If you have an old phone can't really see why you'd stick with the stock, tbh it probably needs to be a common phone though as there is fuck all guides out there at the best of times.

    Definitely a great way to make use of an old device. My original Nexus 7 was slow as shit once it hit stock Lollipop (in fairness I think it came with IceCream Sandwich) and rescued with the Equinox ROM. Runs better now than it ever did.

    A new iOS Jailbreak has been released but, as I predicted earlier in the thread, it's for 64-bit devices only. So basically 5S onwards. I guess my jailbreaking days are over until the 7 comes out and I finally upgrade from my 4S.

    I have a S2 on Marshmellow and Jail broke my S4 (running 5.1.1).

    Yep definitely a good way to keep old phones going.

    Yeah I saw that, but it has a slower processor and a few others things that is not as good as that one.

    I've got expensive taste, so I have been told.

    I would like to see how much that is in england and get one shipped to me, might work out cheaper.

    Another thing is I have $400 to use on a phone from work and I just top up the rest.

    OnePlus 3 so. Probably better than the P9 anyway.

    Anyone have any idea why texts are so shit at sending on my phone?

    Even when I've got full signal and can use the internet fine, standard old SMS messages don't seem to work very well and take a fucking age to send. They often fail and I'll have to re-send them. I'm on Three.

    Talk about undoing all your good work of late. I think I've heard of almost every model of phone go on fire at this stage but when they're actually doing something and not fobbing it off then it must be fairly serious.

    It never arrived.

    Dodgy Chinese seller apparently.

    Also I dropped my new A5 (6). It's got a hairline crack on the screen and some damage at the bottom but works ok. Thanks for getting me that case, work. I only asked 3 times.

    I've just looked at the spec list. It reads like a mid-range Android phone circa 2014...

    2GB of RAM? Lol. No battery size listed. Shit screen, average front and rear cameras, wtf?

    It's running iOS so 2GB is more than enough. Comparable to an Android phone having 4GB. The cameras will be really good as always on iPhones and the wide angle is really handy, just a pity they only put it on the plus.

    I'm going to test out the camera on the Plus and see if it's all it's cracked up to be. It sounds cool, even if it is mega. Also, I can't decide between which black one I want...

    My Apple Watch is gonna take about three weeks to arrive

    Hilarious, was informed by work today that my data usage was high (10GB). Fuck you, I said...thought. I use my tethering all the fucking time so I thought I had unlimited data, apparently not. I've only got a 2GB allowance? LOL.

    Also they said they'd shipped a case for my new phone, yeah only about 5 weeks and 1 drop too late you useless fucking cunts. I bought my own anyway.

    Even if you have an unlimited data plan, some providers don't include tethering in that and will limit it.

    I don't give a fuck because it's work, mate. We are a mobile provider too. Just STFU and pay my bill if you want me to be productive. Then he used the excuse 'I was just checking it was legit data usage and your phone wasn't doing anything weird'. Aye ok.

    I wanted jet black but that's only available in 128GB for some fucking reason. Normal black it is.

    I've got that on the 6, so that's ok by me - it's more the fact that I'm not even sure it'll fit in the pockets of my clothes

    Im currently weighing up paying the £200 up front for the 7 vs the 6s. I think I know what the decision will be.

    Anyone had a 16gb? Not sure whether to go cheap and get that or pay ~£60 extra for 32gb.

    The 7 only comes with 32GB as a minimum if that helps your decision.

    Yeah, I'll probably be going for the 6s though. When I mention getting a 7 my wife reminds that we also need to buy a car, as if it's an either or issue.

    That's not a bad price at all. The model I got here would be coming close to a grand (€) for the handset.

    I was expecting about that price so wasn't too bad. Was tempted to spend an extra hundred and get the 256GB model but really 128GB is more than enough so I just got that.

    True. I've never needed more than 64GB ever, not more than 40GB really, so I've no idea what people do be at with 256GB phones.

    My fucking phone has decided that I'm short of disk space even though I have 200mb spare. I have a fucking gigantic SD card but it reckons I can only move 3-4 apps across to it.

    Is there anything I can do to sort this out? It's a bit daft as I've about 30gb spare on the SD card.
