Anybody looking at getting the OnePlus 5? Reviews are looking good across the board, even if it's not as cheap as the original OnePlus One...- i have two of them in hand. they're plastic backed, light and smaller than an iPhone 7plus, but larger than a 7.imbecile
- They are metal bodied, seen a video of a guy taking one apart.cruddlebub
- Love mine so far, got to get used to the whole Android side of life nowcruddlebub

- Turn off and log out of your iMessage account (if you use it) otherwise all messages will continue to be sent to that device/account.face_melter
- You can send SMS' from the Android phone, but replies will be sent back to the iPhone.face_melter
- ahhh ok. thanks. i am wiping and selling the phone. will that still cause a problem.cruddlebub
- It'll be cool but make sure you log out of *everything* before you reset - wiping isn't enough with Apple devices.face_melter

hopefully pixel2 will be bezelless or as good as, note 8 looks to be shaping up well if they can sort the fingerprint scanner out. have loved my s6 edge+ and the LGG2 before it.

Researchers from the Delft University of Technology have developed a self-replicating, mutating Android app which can create on-the-fly mesh networks in the event of an infrastructural disaster, or the enabling of internet kill switches by oppressive regimes. The app's source is available at GitHub, and the app itself requires no root privileges to propagate. It can self-compile while it mutates — for example, from a game to a calculator — in transit from one Android device to another, and compatibility with iOS and Windows phones is anticipated.

Anyone here ever install a dual-boot on his iPhone, Android and iOS?
Seems like its possible. http://ios.wonderhowto.com/how-t…

Leaked benchmarks show Samsung’s Galaxy S6 will be the most powerful phone ever made
- but all that matters is it sexy? If it is cheap plastic and bad design, it'll kill Samsungformed

I finally – after years – managed to update the firmware on my Galaxy S2 with that P.O.S. Kies program. Jumped from 2.3 Gingerbread to 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.
Where the hell is the mobile data on/off switch? Why the fuck would they remove that?

What is the default web browser that comes on android phones?
- i_monk0
- They were probably holding it wrong though.orrinward2
- aren't there more iphone apps anyway?jaylarson
- It's a %, doesn't matter if there are more apps.i_monk
- It's odd. I certainly here more Android users talking about apps crashing than iPhone users.orrinward2
- On my My Galaxy S2 I do get fairly regular Winamp crashes, and Steambirds CPU locks my phone.orrinward2

"iPad 3 is not even out and it's already going to be obsolete."
Let me get this straight, just so we aren't confused about your statement in April when the iPad 3 may be released. Are you saying the iPad 3 will be obsolete in the sense that people will stop buying it because this ASUS is better? Or are you you just saying the ASUS is better but Apple will continue to outsell it because of their evil marketing campaign and brainwashed consumer base? Either way, are you willing to comment on how the ASUS will actually fare in the market, or are you just pointing out how good it makes fries?
- It's the typical geek masturbationfest OMG BETTER SPECS but enjoy your overpowered useless brickernexbcn
- oh right! 4G and super fast processors and all that is just irrelevant until Apple releases it...then you go and jerk off on it in every thread. I get you.Boz
- in every thread. I get you.Boz
- Why get better technology and more innovative technology when you can keep living in stone ages and keep getting raped by Apple and getting improvements every 3 years. Better go lube yourself a little bit more. Here comes already obsolete iPhone 5 for you to purchase.Boz
- improvements every 3 years. Better go lube yourself a little bit more. Here comes already obsolete iPhone 5 for you to purchase.Boz
- purchase and then be proud how Apple raped the shit out of you and made gazillion dollars.Boz
- seriously Boz, I wasn't making fun of you, and I'm not a fanboy, I just wanted to see what you thought about how it would sellmonospaced
- how it would sell. Damn.monospaced

- What is exactly wrong with it? It looks great and it's functional.. you can get some nice looking cool widgets down the road and it's 10 times more functional. you don't even have this functionality in iOS.. you just have freakin' icons.Boz
- and it's 10 times more functional. you don't even have this functionality in iOS.. you just have freakin' icons.Boz

What im tempted to do at the moment is sell my iphone 3gs for about £270 and buy a new samsung galaxy S for about the same money. Its impressive how apple products hold their value.
while the galaxy s has been around for quite a while, its still a powerhouse.
anyone rocking any custom roms? geekstyle!

- game devs are having a world of hell developing for Android, too much fragmentation / devices with diff capabilitiesernexbcn
- yeh i can see why. must be a doddle doing it for the iphone, sooo many people have it. and there only 2 typesHombre_Lobo_2
- it's no different to a PC .. you need to have a minimum spec, fragmentation argument is bullshit.lukus_W
- really lukus? good to know.
yeh I suppose the pc analogy is a good one.Hombre_Lobo_2 - it's not bullshit, it's a real issue hampering Androidernexbcn
- If it's an issue that hampers android .. it's also an issue that hampers PCs.lukus_W
- Fragmentation is just another word for 'choice'. Steve Jobs is highlighting the negative.lukus_W
