sammorgz Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 My iPhone 5s has really been playing up on and off the past 3 weeks. Throwing me out of apps constantly and freezing when using Facebook/Twitter/Messenger. Occasionally rebooting itself too. It seems to be okay some of the time and then after a few days does it again. It's extremely frustrating. Is this linked to the last update or something? Â Apologies for being a little bit vague but I'm not that clued up on these things.

Keith Houchen Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Probably of interest to only a few, but Ninja Tune, the record label, have released this real fun app that allows you to have a go at remixing. There are three free sets of sounds and you can pay for others. Loving the Coldcut beats! Â http://www.ninjajamm.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Anyone with an iPhone 6 and can recommend a case? I want something that protects the phone, doesn't leave the screen exposed when it's in a bag etc, and ideally that has the little foldy thing on the back so I can put it down to watch a film.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted November 26, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 26, 2015 Anyone know if it's worth getting Cyanogenmod still? I got my phone (Samsung Galaxy S3) from a mate who was upgrading to an S6, so there's no warranty to worry about.  Main reason I'm considering getting it is to be able to get rid of all the bloatware bundled with the phone, but I was told it's just better overall, operationally speaking. Anyone got enough experience of it to kindly give me a run-down of its pros and cons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Benno Posted November 26, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Having now owned two of their phones, I’d recommend getting a Xiaomi phone to anyone who’s an Android user. They don’t directly do business in Europe but they’re the biggest manufacturer in India and China where they have an Apple store like presence.  I got their Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 phone for £110, from Gearbest, after previously owning the original version and it’s one of the best phones I’ve ever owned. I got the 32gb model which has a massive 5.5 inch 1080p screen, very good battery, a quad 2.2ghz processor and 2gb of ram.  http://m.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_229219.html  I’d never go back to a similar spec android phone that winds up costing you more than £500 over the course of a contact - Of course some will reasonably balk at the idea of buying a phone from China, but if you’re interested, look them up. I got mine in 2 weeks from Gearbest, who I’d trust as a seller - although worth noting some people have bought from other sellers and the phone has came with weird Chinese apps on. That can always be fixed though by installing a new ROM on the phone in a few steps, although people's comfort with doing that will vary.

The Four Horsemen Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Personally I am running an Honor 7 now made by Huawei, they are like ZTE in the fact that they made budget phones for the networks for ages and then finally started doing stuff for themselves. You can only buy the phone from their online shop or Three stores at the moment but for the £250 price tag its an amazing piece of kit and well worth the money. It has the fastest fingerprint reader on a phone aswell as a 20MP Sony Exmor sensor and a saphire anti scratch coating on the lens.  http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_honor_7-7269.php  Edited November 26, 2015 by The Four Horsemen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 26, 2015 Moderators Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Yeah it's pretty decent, Steve. The bluetooth is a little temperamental but apart from that all good. Nice and cheap, can't complain!

Paid Members BigJag Posted November 26, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 26, 2015 I have a 1+ which runs CyanogenMod. Works really well. At times the video playback can freeze, and for some reason the keyboard squashes up on Watsapp when the phone is held horizontally. Otherwise very happy with it.

Paid Members BigJag Posted November 27, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 27, 2015 You're welcome. The 2+ is out now. The only drawback I can see is the lack of removable memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members waters44 Posted December 2, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted December 2, 2015 Can anyone recommend apps for the following (Google Play as I have a Samsung S4) -  I download Audiobooks from Youtube as an mp3 and listen to them through my phones built in music player. The downside is more often then not my phone "forgets" at what point I got to in the book, so every time I want to listen to a bit more I need to try and get to a certain minute of the book (eg 3hrs 5mins etc). The trouble with that is its almost impossible to get to exactly the right point - the phone screen is so small, and the books are so long, getting to a specific minute is impossible. Im lucky if I can get within two or three minutes of where I last finished.Is there a music player app which either a) never forgets where you are in a "song" or b) you can type in what minute of the "song" you want to start listening from? A diary app, very simple, but a diary in the sense of what a teenager would scribble down in a book every night, NOT a diary to write down dentist appointments and stuff Cheers!

Paid Members John Matrix Posted January 6, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hey guys, can anyone point me in the direction of a simple project management app for iPhone? Dont need, and absolutely dont want anything complex, just something I can add a task to, and update its status to help me keep track of jobs on the go?
