    I cut a micro SIM to nano before to go into the Z3 and it worked fine, though I did end up getting a replacement one day I was in the 3 shop. I'd to buy an adapter then to be able to put it back in the G4.

    I got the exact same spiel from Vodafone here. They told me it would be well in excess of £150 per screen break, but their cover would take that down to about £50.

    Having looked on Apples site. They charge £86. Seems quite reasonable for them.

    That's a really good price. If he ever breaks his I'll check it out here too before I change it myself as it sounds like Vodafone just being robbing fucks.

    It's about £110 for the newer/bigger models.

    You'll want to check the exact price though, because exchange rate never seems to factor in much when looking in different countries.

    I couldn't see much on their .ie website apart from a link to but Applecare+, but from a search about there's some independent places doing it from €130 with a guarantee. I'd have the screen from Amazon delivered for €85 and have it changed in an hour so it would all come down to the length of warranty on offer.
    Hopefully he doesn't drop it anyway!

    Can somebody with an iPhone open the YouTube app and see if they can view their subscriptions...

    The new design released in the last few days means I can't actually view any of my subscribed channels....anyone else?

    Yeah. Just tap the central tab and they're there.

    I'm not a fan of the new layout, but I generally only use it on desktop (for watching subscriptions).

    Initial impressions of the one plus x - the back camera is blurred and is unusable and it doesn't accept my SD card. The latter probably means a reformat but the former is a pain in the cunt.

    Could be faulty as I've heard decent reports of the camera. Not high end but meant to be very good for the phone price.

    This might sound woefully obvious but you haven't left the plastic on the lens have you? I've done that once before myself, was a week before I realised.

    Best app to transfer my contacts to another phone? New phone has external memory and uses a nano sim, whereas my current phone doesn't.

    What are you going from/to?

    If you're doing Android to Android and the contacts are linked to your gmail/Google account then when you sign into the new phone they'll sync to it. If they're not linked to your Google account and just stored on the phone then you'll find an export or copy option in your settings where you can copy them to your Google account so you can do the above. Means you'll always have a backup of them on contacts.google.com too.

    If you're going from iPhone to Android then go to icloud on a PC, select all the contacts and export to a vcf file. Then plug the Android phone into the PC, copy the vcf to the phone, and import it in the contacts app settings.
    .

    I'm glad I'm not the only one. I remember being so disappointed with the G2 camera that I nearly returned it. The plastic half came off in my pocket one day and bingo

    Not sure of the menu structure on the Samsung @Jeet but if you go into your contacts and then settings you'll see something like manage contacts there and you want a screen kind of like this (3rd option down)




    EDIT: I'd say something like the Merge with Google option on this screenshot:

    the Oneplus X, having given it a good run over for the last 2 weeks, is absolutely great. I mean I can't find fault with it. Nice handset, good weight, great screen, and no issues of any variety - even auto updating and all that jazz.

    £200, ridiculous level of bargainhood.

    Nothing in the slightest. She ripped her bits off the SD as previous experience saw them formatted automatically by Sony phones, but this one just went on and let everything carry on as normal.

    Usual restrictions in terms of not being able to actually put apps on it though (quelle surprise).

    That should sort out when 6.0 comes with the adoptable storage option. I still don't like the sound of it myself but I'd like to think it won't put system files on there and it'll be handy for lower storage phones.

    There's been a good bit of talk about card formats and formatting problems with this phone that they're promising to fix with an update.

    Try downloading ES File Explorer to see if that can see it. If it can, but you still can't transfer to it, then at least you know it's software and not the slot that is faulty.

    It's not a big capacity battery, but the 801 Was always a decent chip for power use and the software is pretty lean so it doesn't really need it. Doze will help even further when 6.0 arrives. I'm running it on the Z3 and Doze is better than Sony Stamina Mode ever was.

    Anyone use the Galaxy S6? I was going to get the 32Gb as there was no upfront payment but for BLACK FRIDAY the 128Gb model is the same price. Ordered the gold one because I'm a ponce.

    I'd heard rumblings of this before. Buying Beats is making a lot more sense now if this goes ahead.

    It's not much to do with Beats really: their headphones are garbage. Dropping the 3.5mm jack has been on the cards for a while - but the pursuit of thinness above all else is a bit pointless. Eventually it'll all go wireless, charging and all and they can make a totally sealed phone which will be waterproof.

    If they lose the jack, replace it with more battery capacity and keep the same form factor I'd be happy with it. The camera will still poke out as that can't be miniaturised by much more right now.

    Personally it wouldn't bother me in the slightest either. Can't remember the last time I used a set of headphones and I'm unlikely to on a phone ever again anyway. Thinner and more battery sounds good to me.

    I use them a lot and I'd be a little annoyed, but it's probably one of those things like dropping the CD drive on MacBooks which are at the edge of the game.

    3rd parties are able to make Lightning stuff, so it shouldn't mean competitor lockout.

    3rd parties are able to make Lightning stuff, so it shouldn't mean competitor lockout.
