Happy Face 29 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Things I'm puzzled by today. 1. I'm seem to have several options for saving contacts. Do I just save them to the phone or Google or some other place? Best thing to do is manage your contacts on a Gmail account on your PC and sync those contacts to your phone. That way they'll automatically be on any other phone you buy. You'll still be to edit contacts on your phone and add new ones. Thoise changes will be reflected at your Gmail contacts as well. It's just easier on a PC when you're starting and have hundreds to add. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?shva=1#contacts It will also give you the choice of whether you sync Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Whatsapp, etc. contacts and lync all peoples separate accounts. I prefer not to have my contacts so full of acquantances from Facebook I would never ring, so only sync Gmail. 2. I used to have stuff / reminders etc set up in the calender, but the one on the phone doesn't seem as capable. Google Calendar is very capable. Again, best to set them up on a PC in the first instance... https://www.google.com/calendar/render?tab=mc&pli=1 Though you can on your phone quite easily. You can subscribe to any other calendars using the ical, xml or html code. For example you should be able to add my NUFC calendar... https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=rosa44f348qnoovf399jcpq84o%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Europe/London 3. Ringtones and text alerts are hopeless xylophone tunes. Other than using some pop tunes, is it possible to get other alerts ringtones? Aye, just save any MP3 you like to your phone or use any of the multitude of free apps, like Zedge https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.zedge.android Not all doom and gloom though. Living the screen size, the sound and the 4g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Cheers HF. That's a big help. (Not sure about the MP3 bit but I'll search Google for an mp3 and then try and download it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've edited the response. Sounds like you probably just wanted Zedge so you can just have a wider array of ringtone type sounds to choose from.

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Yeah I don't think he's ever paid attention to any of the advice he's been provided. It's why he's such a fucking calamity. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Must admit, several weeks into android, I am yearning for what seems like the simplicity of IOS Im sure some of its down to advancing years, but it just seems lots to get your head around. If Iphone unleash a big beast phone in the Autumn I think I'll be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I'm the complete opposite and don't think I'd ever revert back to an iPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3466 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Same here. iphone is so terribly bland once you've tasted android. I suppose it varies from person to person. Some people like to stick to what they know. There's nothing stopping anyone from keeping their android phones simple if they want to though.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Each time I go into my Barclays app on my phone it tells me I don't have virus protection or something and I should download there free one. Do peeps usually put that sort of stuff on their android? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only good thing I can imagine using it for is filming, but then a gopro would be better quality at a quarter of the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugs the shit out of me how much crap my parents manage to get onto their PC, they must be hitting heinous porn sites with dodgy safety constantly.

Happy Face 29 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Comparison of oneplus one and iphone shows how far apple have fallen behind... http://gadgets.ndtv.com/oneplus-one-1554-vs-apple-iphone-5s-1028 The whole Google suite of apps is free. Google Music is free and will store up top 20,000 tracks in the cloud so no worries about ITunes. What else do you think you'll have to buy. Available for pre-order now and order completion for one hour on Monday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 No, I'm promoting it on Twitter in an attempt to win one. I'm talking about it on here because it's a phone thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26334 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Ah right, saw your tweet earlier and thought that they had decided to harness your incredible Twitter power in an effort to sell a few more units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 They're mad on free promotion. They sell the phones at cost, so no budget for advertising. Last week they gave away a free phone every 20 minutes but you had to tweet @ 2 followers why they should get one or why you wanted one. I didn't go to that level of spamming, just the ones that need a single simple RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
