Anyone know of a good app for android phones to free up space so i can move apps to my sd card? Galaxy Ace does not let you do this.... cheers

Nope, it's still there. I can upgrade to the iPhone 5 16GB & 32GB models free. Perhaps Apple have chucked some money at them? Or it might be something to do with pushing 4G? No idea. I don't spend much, my tariff is only £26 a month, but it's there in black & white.

It's almost worth upgrading, selling, then paying for something else.

In fact, looking at the prices on eBay, that's not a bad idea.

Do it, that is an unbeleivable deal.

You can only upgrade to an iPhone 5 on Orange if you choose one of their specific 'iPhone' tariffs, all of which pretty much rip you off.
The reason the other handsets you mentioned cost money to upgrade to is because you can keep your existing tariff whith those phones.

Seriously thinking about ditching Orange and just going with giffgaff.

That's how I see it.
Something cr@ppy like 100 mins and hardly any internet access for £25.

I did have a look being with Orange but I'll stick with my ty phone until contract up in Jan.

Currently get 800 mins, unlimited texts for about £20

Just been looking at it a bit more closely and got taken through to their iPhone plans - not the best, but a decent one for £31 would do me fine. Hardly ever make calls so 100 minutes would do me fine, and the text/data allowances are more than enough.

I actually think I'll look around for a HTC One X or S, or Samsung S2 deal. Just can't see past the 'closed shop' system of Apple.

Yeah I've been looking at the HTC One X, I have a Desire at the mo and am really pleased with it. But the dimensions of the One X scare me a little - it is fecking huge!

Just got an S3 on Vodafone on a retention deal. 20 a month. Unlimited calls and texts.

My 3rd android phone (HTC hero and then a desire HD).

The handset felt a bit big at first but I've had it a few days now and love it.

I have a Blackberry (stop sing at the back!) Curve 9380 with two email accounts linked up with my phone.

I move jobs next week and I'm looking to delete one of the accounts, but when I attempt to access the Email Account Management screen to delete my work account from the handset the message 'Your connection to the mobile network is turned on, but you are not in a wireless coverage area' is shown.

I'm with Orange. I know they are changing to 4G and messing around with the signal, because I'm currently on a 3g signal according to my handset which is unusual. I'm wondering if anybody else has the same problem, and who I should get in touch with to sort out the issue.

Had a look at the Samsung note 2 yesterday, now that is huge...

Note 2 v One x

Can any iphone (OS6)/Whatsapp users assist? When the screen is locked, Whatsapp does nothing but show a message screen, no notification sound, nor vibration. I cannot see a lockscreen setting, within the settinf of Whatsapp.

Any offers?

I got a text earlier telling me to turn the handset off and on again. I am now connected to the EE network. Have you tried switching off and on again or doing a battery out reboot job?

HTC 8X or Nokia Lumia 920 for me next. Just hope they aren't both just exclusives on EE.

Will my iPhone work again after spending half an hour sat in the cat's water bowl?

Anyone rooted there phone reason i ask i have Galaxy Ace and you cant delete apps that came with the phone or move them to your sd card to save memory. Tried all apps on play store and nothing works without your phone been rooted.

Is it worth doing this or will it damage my phone?

Three are driving me up the wall. My sisters boyfriend sold me his phone 4 after he finished his contract and upgraded. i was going to just transfer to 3 but the signal is terrible so I need to use my giffgaff simcard in it. the phone is locked to three. Has been upgraded to latest ios6 and baseband upgraded so I can't do it myself via the usual exploits. Phoned Three about 5 times. The phone isnt registered so I can't do it. I need to send them my proof of purchase apparently.

The original owner phoned them up and asked them to unlock it. They want 15 quid, fine just get on with it. gave them the IMEI number. To be told that isn't registered. When he bought the phone it was broken so he was given a replacement. turns out the replacement isn't registered,and his receipt is for the original phone and not the replacement that he was given. so he cant even register his own phone which he has used for the last 2 years to unlock it.

Not a clue what to do now. Companys want £100 + to factory unlock it because its on Three. The call centre staff are beyond useless. Going into the store tommorow but i can't see them being able to do anything, infact they'll probably just accuse me of stealing the phone or something. Fuming.

I had a nightmare with Three until I went on Twitter to speak to them. Few messages and they emailed me at work and then even called me up to sort out my problems. I'll be off Three as soon as I can be, but their Twitter team were a credit to the company IMO

their name is @ThreeUKSupport

It's the reason I joined Twitter!

I've already found them but they went offline till the morning so I'll be giving them a tweet first thing! Glad to know they are atleast helpful. The call centre staff where impossible people to deal with.

Sounds like your sister's boyfriend is a crook to me

Selling you a stolen phone and concocting a story to cover his criminality.

You've either got to do the decent thing and shop him in to the cops, handing the phone over, or move to 3. 3s coverage is far, far better than O2s, so you must be incredibly unlucky to be in a location that does not have a 3 signal, but has an O2 signal.

I'm an incredibly unlucky person



To be honest, I could switch, But having to deal with their call centre has given me all I need to ensure I never ever use their network. it's driven me up the wall.

He's definitely no crook

He's had the phone for 2 years. Been into the store and they won't help. He has the original receipt but no receipt for when it was swapped. now my understanding is that Three would have been given and kept the original receipt when issuing the replacement so how do we still have it? I asked that they should have it on their records saying the phone was swapped, "no we don't have any records", I asked that surely when they issued the replacement the account would be updated to the new phone and not just keep the old IMEI "no when we offer a replacement we don't update the records"

apparently all his bills or records still seem to have the phones old IMEI number, and we can't change this without proof of getting the replacement. so it seems I should just sell the phone on and cut my losses. although I don't want to give in, they have wound me up too much now to do that.

I'd be inclined to keep hammering away at 3. I can understand their problem (At the initial customer support level anyway), if they don't have the IMEI on record, it's probably impossible for them to give you a PAC code for it on their system if the IMEI isn't registered. It's not them being awkward (Despite it being their fault because they've not recorded the replacement phone properly), I'll bet the system they are working on just won't give it to them, given you and the original owner can't prove ownership. Does the crimina.....original owner

not have anything at all to do with the replacement? An email, delivery ticket, tracking email, the box it came in? Anything that can link the IMEI to his account?

If you keep going with them, you should end up getting to a layer above the 'standard system' where they will give you the code, but it might be worth the original owner doing that as it'll be easier.

If not, I'm sure you can get it unlocked for less than £100. Have a good scout around the internet for people in a similar situation and I'll bet there are free (Or cheaper) ways to do it, I've done it in the past with other brands and have never paid more than £20.

iPhones are not unlocked with a code, the mighty Apple hold a database of all iPhone serials, they unlock it there and you then synch with iTunes and low and behold it is unlocked. Any other unlock method isn't permanent and could be undone by a software upgrade. £15 is the standard fee for this as that is what Apple charge the telco.

we've got the original box with the IMEI number on it that matches the phone. just don't have the replacement receipt. ( I don't believe there was one) only his original receipt.

btw I don't want a pac code, I just want the phone to be unlocked. Or do I need the PAC code to do that?

The phone has been updated to the latest ios6 and because it updated the baseband aswell, the traditional method of jailbreaking it, or using a gevey sim won't work so cheaper people won't be able to unlock it. so the expensive ones are the only ones that will work. Apparently they bribe someone at apple/three to unlock the IMEI number and the phone is then factory unlocked. Had he not updated to bloody ios6 I could have done it myself.

Tbh I don't know what he would have done if the phone had been stolen for instance if three's records show the wrong IMEI numbers and stuff.

Three have clearly not updated their records but the shop staff or three don't want to know or help.

I've been on a consumer action group and been given an email address for a ceo , sent him an email. no reply yet but I'm gonna keep nagging till it gets sorted.

Ah right, never knew that. Can you get the mighty Apple to do that for you?

They won't do it unless the network request it.
