gzoladz · 05-06-2013 09:56PM

Ah... got the phone. I bought it for someone else, I wish I had ordered one for me

godtabh · 06-06-2013 05:57AM

I know the feeling.

I'm not to far from my collection point and would love for it to be dropped off before 1 and I could go collect it at lunch.

It left belfast at 6 this morning. Going to D18

Afraid it won't be in your PM by one, mine has just been delivered to PM it looks like but hasn't been updated on my PM account yet. I use PM a lot and I would expect delivery to my PM between 9PM and 2AM tonight going by past purchases.

godtabh · 06-06-2013 11:10AM

Another day waiting!

If it left the depot early it might be there before it's time to go home.

i think I may have mis understood things. When I was on the GLS website and tracking the parcel i assumed out to delivery was to my PM but its only being dropped off to PM themselfs now

I was curious as I've never seen it leave PM before regular business hours. It's always just going on the system right about now. I'd say you'll have it by tonight, hopefully before you have to turn in. Hey, at least you know it's nearly over! Not long now.

godtabh · 06-06-2013 08:54PM

It's arrived. Just have to collect it. Hopefully I can do it in the morning

Excellent! You have 48 hours so hopefully you'll find the time to do it first thing.

godtabh · 06-06-2013 09:11PM

Could t wait. Just picked it up. It'll be a productive day in work tomorrow!

godtabh · 06-06-2013 09:29PM

Won't be able to set it up tonight but I must say it is an impressive looking machine!

I think I am in the dog house though. Get a new iPad mini today as well!

Ah that's treacherous!

Are you planning on rooting it? I've rooted mine but I've kept the stock firmware on it. I find it handy for certain things and being able to make apps system apps, etc. It's good to have the freedom and without compromise by installing a ROM that isn't fully there yet. I've never used a stock ROM since going Android in 2011.

godtabh · 06-06-2013 09:35PM

It's been so long since I've had android I'll play around with stock and see where it goes. I've no history of rooting so could go either way

Atomic Pineapple · 07-06-2013 10:33AM

Picked mine up this morning, bloody work getting in the way of using it, but impressed so far, its much much nicer in hand than I expected! Next up is a decent car holder for it!

You'll have to use a UK VPN to get access to the UK Play Store. Try TunnelBear. It's free.

I had the same problem. Click on the link in the sticky so it tries to open in your browser. It will tell you cant access the site. Copy the url from your browser and use this address in your flubit. If you copy the link straight from the sticky part of it is missing.

The easiest way is to right-click and "Copy link address" in Chrome and Opera, "Copy Link Location" in Firefox, "Copy shortcut" in IE, and "Copy Link" in Safari. I don't know if the respective OS X or Linux versions use different wording.

You should avoid selecting the links with your mouse and copying that way as vBulletin does contract the links and parts will be missing as a result. The complete URLs in the sticky work for me, I've even demanded on Flubit within the last month to test and the offers were processed successfully.

How much are you looking for?

TheBazman · 13-06-2013 10:02PM

Im with Three whose data reception is bloody terrible so most of the time my signal is at "R". While I'm pretty sure it is the network that is the main issue sometimes when I force it to search for network operators and then select choose automatically I actually get it to change from "R" to "H". Should it not pick up the network again itself? Anyone having similar issues?

Just to point out this only happens sometimes.

When it's on "R" it's roaming on Vodafone's 2G network. Sometimes it doesn't change back when you hit 3G coverage again. It doesn't happen to me much anymore, it used to a lot in 2011 when I lived in Tralee but my coverage is pretty consistent now that I'm in Limerick. I think it has a lot to do with Three. I don't know if there's a solution.

I had the same issue with my Nexus S on Three, went away when I changed network. My Nexus 4 has no issues on Vodafone the signal seems to be strong and reliable everywhere I've been to date.

Yeah that would happen to me as well.
If you're on stock, and know you're generally always within 3G coverage, perhaps try setting the phone to pick up 3G/HSDPA signal only.
Open the dialer, and type in *#*#4636#*#* , select phone information, and change "WCDMA Preferred" to "WCDMA only".
Some custom roms also come with toggle for the notification drawer to quickly change the setting.
May have to search and connect to 3 network again, but it should stop it from roaming to vodafone 2G. Of course if you go out of range of any 3G coverage, you'll basically have no network, so yeah, that's the slight con to it. I've never found myself to be without coverage often, or for very long at least.
