Brian, that is Facebook being Facebook. The android application is dire. The iOS version is far superior.

Sorry, but stick to the mobile website.

The Europa being as bog standard as it gets unfortunately will not handle full websites in the browser with any sort of ease. You could download the facebook app for android from the Google play market and it might help with the loading issues, but tbh it'll still be quite slow on a low spec phone.

Nah this was in the browser and strangley enough it was allowing me log in on my girlfriends account but it refused to load on my account its odd alright phone has been on the blink for a while so i've decieded to change it ,

So many choices open to you really at that price Brian tbh, you're probably used to the Samsung Touchwiz interface at this stage so I guess the Samsung galaxy S plus, or galaxy ace 2 might be worth a look at.

If you were happy with the Europa otherwise, then maybe have a look in some of the cash converters shops, one of them might have the galaxy S second hand for about €150, and if you do a bit of Googling, you can upgrade the software up as far as the latest android software release.

Now that I think of it actually, if you were bothered enough you could SIM unlock the Europa yourself and stick cyanogenmod 7 on it. It turns it into a right dinky little phone that you could use as a spare.

hi
my ex locked out my phone by entering too many pattern attempts and now its locked out. All it says it ''to unlock sign in with you google account'' when i try to sign in all it says is ''invalid username or password''.

I have tried to reset it by pressing the volume key up and down and pressing the power button. Also tried other ones i found on the net. None of them are working ='(

Does anyone have any ideas on how to unlock it??

Cheers

Before you go about doing anything extreme, just check that you can sign into your gmail on a laptop. It's unlikely you'll have USB debugging enabled by default, so in that case you may have no option but to do a full recovery.

It's been a while since I did a full recovery on a europa but if you need a walkthrough I can post one up later on. There's plenty of tutorials available online, but for some people they're not the easiest to follow.

OK, well first off, the easiest method. Before you do this, have you anything valuable on the phone like photos, etc?

Your contacts are stored in a file on the memory card, so just to be on the safe side, take out the memory card, and leave it out while yo do a factory reset.

Now, if that doesn't work, then it gets messy, and I'm not too sure how tech savvy you are but it'll mean hooking your phone up to a laptop, and reloading what's called the firmware on it (the operating system software), and I have to say this but there's a risk you could turn your phone into a paperweight.


Before we go that far though, just make sure your phone battery is fully charged up.

Hmm, alright emofairy, it looks like I'm going to have to write you up a tutorial when I get home. You won't understand terms like having to root your europa and flash a new firmware onto it.

I do it as a hobby but at one stage I had the exact same problem you're having with the exact same phone when my son forgot his pattern unlock and I remember having to flash the phone.

It was basically like a more advanced factory reset.

A paperweight just means your phone could be left useless, unable even to power it on, but right now it's not much good to you as it is.
