ReZourceman Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 How do people lose phones? Like...what is the cause? Pockets too loose? Leave them on tables? Do you know how you lost it Ashley. Well I hope you find it/have insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I put it in my hoodie pocket, saw a bus and raaaaaan. It fell out. I realised a few stops later and got off and raaaaan but to no avail. And no insurance. Bad times. Orange said I can replace it for £170 which is a decent price but I don't have money. So may go back to my old Tocco.

ReZourceman Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Ouch that is lame. But the lesson is clear. Don't take public transport. It is destined to end in (at the very best) disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 6 mile walk every day. Screw that! :p (well I could cycle but I don't think my heads-in-the-clouds state would be a good mix) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tellyn Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I'm having a weird problem with my contacts on my G2 Touch/Hero (have been for a few months actually). Whenever I make a new Google contact, it just disappears/deletes itself shortly afterwards. I can't for the life of me work out why it's doing this, I've just been saving new contacts to SIM, which isn't ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten10 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) Never mind...lost my Desire today. Bad times I take it you weren't using wavesecure? I understand your pain though Ash, have you got Orange to block the IMEI, at least that way it can't be used.

Ashley Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) No. Doh. Why did nobody tell me of that app before? :p Yeah the IMEI is blocked. Im not sure whether to replace the Desire through Orange for £170 (which I don't really have spare), stick with my old Tocco for the time being or what. Going to ring a place I interviewed for a while ago and remained on good terms with and speak to the manager and see if he can give me some advice/tell me the price of his second hand phones/hopefully some discount.

Eddage Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 So my Desire HD turned up yesterday, first impressions are good but I need advice... Whats the best music/video player? Should I stick with the ones that come with the phone or are there better ones available? How about syncing music, whats the best program to use (this is probably the one thing I'll miss from my iPhone - it was so simple)? Finally, apps, I need recommendations!

Ten10 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) Well I just use the default ones myself. Although I've heard good things about the arcmedia app: http://www.appbrain.com/app/arcmedia/sns.arcMedia.playerInterface.arm6 Also the realplayer app is quite good. http://www.real.com/realplayer/android And many love btunes: http://www.btunesmusicplayer.com/ Edited October 19, 2010 by Ten10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fish Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 If you've got a large collection (or just want the damn handy "insert after current song but keep the rest of the playlist the same" function, the absence of which in other music players causes me immense frustration these days) Museek is your friend. Give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.dakota Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 If you've not heard of '8pen', take a look; Having given it a shot, at a reasonable .99p from Android Market, I am really impressed. It seems a great alternative - nay, dare I say it, replacement - for the small keyboards on modern phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.dakota Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 It's actually pretty good. A learning curve to it, but you can see it's potential. It's fun and functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Looks interesting but I find its difficult to do over a long period of time. I find sliding my finger on a touch screen that there's always a friction point whereby I jerk or whatever. Although I do love Swype... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
