Lads bit of a problem whenever I go to send a message it types in German but the system is definitely English
Can anyone help? Thanks

antodeco · 30-03-2013 09:24AM

I think you're better off with the 24 month than 18, in two years time there will be a new range of phones out like the Galaxy S6 etc, in 18 months there might be a new nexus out but all other phones would have been out 6 months and you'll be tempted to wait for another 6 months for the new ones. You may as well have the lower price for the phone and maybe even a lower tarrif.

Though 12 months would be perfect

Bear in mind that if you're on a decent tariff, VF will upgrade after 15 months. I got my One X last April and am expecting an upgrade this July.

Edit: plus, with the new Vodafone red, if you go on a 2 year contract, they upgrade you after a year. You have to trade in your old phone though so don't know if it's any better.

Anyone know where you can buy a case for the One in Dublin? Might order one on eBay but expect to have to wait a good week for it to arrive.

Would it not be a crime to wrap that up in a case?

It's not for all the time, but on a night out etc. Have seen the drop tests!

Beats earphones - good sound but so so badly built. They will break

Has anyone tried to use the tv remote with the UPC box? It only seems to have the channel numbers for Sky preloaded?

dahamsta · 30-03-2013 08:46PM

I've assumed it's much the same as an All 4 One, and can be programmed. RTFM?

ofcork · 30-03-2013 08:51PM

Ya it works with the box, I can change channel and volume and stuff but when you click on a program suggestion it trys to change to the tv station based on the station number on the sky box, not the UPC box

calabi yau · 30-03-2013 09:19PM

I have the original Note, not sure I want to go to a smaller screen. Seriously considering it though.

Overall very impressed after a couple of hours, still not quite sure on the battery life however. Device was approximately 50% charged when I turned it on at about 11. Had to start re-charging about 3.45 pm.
That was with constant use for nearly 5 hours installing apps, browsing, using it as a remote. No media viewing though.

Jut an update on battery life. Took it off the charger last night at around 10pm.
Left it overnight and battery was at 94% this morning.
Have been using the phone heavily all day, mostly web browsing, blink feeds and a couple of vids etc on wifi and mobile data.
Battery currently at 33%.

Definitely a vast improvement on the HTC One X and slightly better than my experience on the SG3.

I was practically the same. Charged last night, started the day at 94%. Had to charge it at about 6pm after about 20 hours and 4.5 hours screen on time. Was on it loads today, and took a lot of photos. On a normal day would easily last the day.

cooperguy · 30-03-2013 11:10PM

Here is a screenshot of how my battery is doing today.

Edit: New screenshot taken just before phone died.

antodeco · 30-03-2013 11:10PM

Have had it since this morning. Some size phone. Speakers are excellent. I got from 11am to 6pm on a half charge with around 60% screen on time.

Form factor is lovely. Lighter than what I thought. Crystal clear screen. Very fast, if not near instant. TV remote works a treat. Can use both the TV and UPC box with it. Hitting 8Mbps downlink on HSPA, 4Mbps uplink. Its loud. Very loud. Camera is good but took a little while to figure out how to use.

Typing is fine. WiFi is fine. Buttons are a little fiddly but once im used to it they'll be grand. Decent headphones with it. Once you have everything setup, restart the phone. Things worked better on it afterwards.

Will post more as I use it, but so far nothing bad to report.

Yup. Just skip through that and manually add it. Mine works. Think its the 4th coding that works. Very easy to setup

How many hours of screen on time are you getting?

antodeco · 31-03-2013 12:27AM

Well the phone lasted 7 hours on 45% battery. About 4 hours of that was actual usage.

jamdar · 31-03-2013 12:50PM

You apps are linked to your Google account anyway. Don't need to pay for it.

Would you not have to reinstall all the apps one by one though?

Once you log in on the new phone the apps will install automatically.

Generally not. Once you pop in your Google account it starts downloading them automatically. It won't transfer app data though.

Doesn't happen on every device either. Also sometimes if you lose connectivity it will stop the whole process and you will have to start installing them one by one.

Edit: It worked on the HTC One X so I doubt it has been removed.

Good stuff. Thanks for that.

Anyone think there's any chance they'll release UPC settings for the TV app so that we can use the TV guide feature?
