    I had this issue with mine (there'll be posts on here no doubt). My Samsung A20e has been faultless, having got used to the 5.8" dimension. Google is saying £150 is current RRP.

    I’ve switched networks from giffgaff (who use o2 and have rubbish signal in work) to Smarty (who use three, and seem to get a better signal where I need it) no complaints yet. I’m on the 8GB for £7 plan.

    At a risk of being a bit of a Baz, I got a referral link that gets whoever uses it a free month or something, https://i.smarty.co.uk/VNQGjhp

    Got him one of those in the end. I set it up for him at the weekend. Seems a decent little phone for the price. It's the same size as the Pixel 2 he had as well despite the bigger screen size because the Pixel 2 had pretty large bezels.

    Ya, it's a solid build too going off mine, I've just got one of those basic clear condoms with no screen protection for it and not a single mark yet.

    Speaking of referrals…

    I’ve used Airtime Rewards for a while and had a few £5 discounts knocked off my [O2 sim only] phone bill most months since, mostly just from shopping at Morrisons.

    Basically you download an app, link your debit/credit cards and then when you make a purchase with them from a shop that’s listed (there’s a lot) you get a percentage of it added to you Airtime account. Then when your pot reaches £5 you can redeem it off your next phone bill (or gift it to another Airtime user, apparently, but that starts at £10.)

    There doesn’t seem to be an exact list (sneaky) of which phone networks are subscribed to the service but they claim that 10 are, including O2, EE, BT, giffgaff, Tesco and Three but Google suggests it’s worth trying to see if your phone contract is linked.

    If you use my referral code of 8NVGJCQ8 when you join Airtime Rewards you’ll get £1 credit into your new account and another £2 if you make a valid purchase within 7 days of registering. I also get the same reward, so thank you very much! (Or if you join tomorrow or later it’s 50p + £1 after a purchase, so act fast!)

    You need to download the app and use the code 8NVGJCQ8 when signing up (or after you have signed in, under the ‘More > Promo Code’ section, enter the code and hit Submit)

    Wife wants a new phone, currently paying £25 SIM only with an old Galaxy S8. She only uses it for messaging, facebook, instagram etc. She does smash the data though so really need unlimited or at least a decent amount (more than 50gb) a month. Ideal price point would be around £30 a month. Seen the S20 FE ones but a lot of reviews are mixed, are the A series as shit as they appear? I could lumber her with one and bag a free Switch but would feel guilty if it is terrible. Basically needs a good battery and loads of data.

    My sister recently upgraded from an A50 to an A52 and it seems very good. The former was excellent also.

    Got the new iPhone which is nice and all but it’s broken my Google Chrome (unless there’s a weird coincidence). I can’t seem to play any videos through it (YouTube is fine) as it’s just a black screen but audio fully works.

    Also, typing is horrendous on Chrome, I wouldn’t advise to do it if you suffered from epilepsy. Is this Apple forcing me to move to Safari?

    Is there any way to make incoming WhatsApp calls time out after a certain length of time? I have a couple of nuisance customers that persist in calling via it when I have told them numerous times not to, and one of them called me at 9:11 this morning and it's still dialling.

    I reckon your only option is to block them as contacts.

    You can "mute" a caller by clicking the (i) on the missed call notification (on iOS)

    In notifications in the setting, you can set WhatsApp to vibrate only, or complete silence - however pretty sure it applies to all calls and messages - don't think you can pick and choose contacts.

    Presumed it meant all of them, but on 2nd reading it relates to the blackberry OS ones.

    Piss on the candle.

    Might maybe mean the end of the BBM stuff, if that's even still a thing since the switch to Android.

    Someone fucking help me resolve the data storage issues that have made me age unnecessarily over the past few years. What's the fucking solution beside deleting things regularly? I made do on my 5GB Onedrive storage for years but enough is enough, I paid something like a £2 month for 100GB last week but it hasn't restarted syncing so I'm pissed. And now mum's phone is at breaking point for same reasons and she'll probs get a new one soon but I need to solve this issue before that one ends the same way.

    You can't toggle that whatsapp setting to be conversation specific, right? Maybe it's cause I'm a hoarder but I can't believe there's no better solution. These OneDrive/Google Photo/Dropbox services are so disjointed for basic users.

    You can, it looks like: Tap the conversation name > Save to Camera Roll > switch Default to something else

    I think the fleshlight is one of the features you miss out on by not going for the flagship models.

    Finally my A20E took a fall and cracked its screen. 2 years it lasted but if I hadn't been lazy and replaced its broken cover it would have gone for at least another 2 ffs.

    Dismayed to find that once again industry standard has added yet another inch to phones. I'll swallow the 6.6" for my new A22 like your mum but give me my 4.8" back ffs.

    I can upgrade my phone (Galaxy S20) in a few weeks but I'm not sure what to upgrade to.

    I've heard the S22 line has had problems with the Exynos chip, the Pixel 6 line has a lot of broken features and whilst the Oppo Find X5 Pro has gotten a lot of praise I don't know too much about the brand.

    Oppo are another offshoot of BBK, similar to Oneplus and Vivo. I've had the Find X2 Pro for a while now and can't really fault it. Actually sold one and used an S20 Ultra and then a Pixel 6 Pro for a while but ended up getting another X2 Pro. Hardware-wise it's great, just don't expect Google updates as quickly as other brands.

    I bought a Pixel 6 and it's been the only phone that I haven't actually liked.

    Previously had no issues with an iPhone, Xiaomi and OnePlus - decided to get a Pixel 6 and there are just too many small bugs. Finger print scanner is turd, no face unlock, it can get a little laggy and it gets very hot when used for more than 20 minutes. Great camera, though.

    I'm due an upgrade next month. What's good these days? I'm getting bored of Samsungs.

    Are iPhones still exclusively for twats?

    I attempted to go back to iPhone after switching to Android... it didn't go well. Once you go Android, I feel you have to stay - going back to iPhone and finding everything was locked down or impossible to change/customize was infuriating.

    Apparently it's getting better with widgets and stuff. Not sure what it is like right now.
