    Took me bloody ages to find the completely non obvious not indicated click for more information graphic at the top of the bloody screen

    I can't see any options in there that indicate process, but if you click the items it does give you a breakdown of what the app is doing, you'd need to compare to other apps to see if one of those things is working overdrive, and that could point to the underlying process

    Do you have a kinda hardware button for GPS, or a global setting for the same. I wonder if the programs have permission for GPS so they keep trying to turn it on, but a conflict with a power saver or hardware manufacturer app creates a loop and that's why they guzzle the battery

    ???

    Just hypothesising, check for either a third party power saver or one that comes with all the or installed crap on the phone

    Nah, there's no third party stuff like that. I've revoked a lot of permissions now so hopefully it'll make a difference. Strange it should start doing it suddenly, I haven't installed anything new I think.

    Haven't seen them for a while. I kinda assumed they must be grouped in with thir respective app now, but they could just be hidden.
  • I'm sure somebody mentioned an app for uploading images before. Imgur is appalling (the app, not the hosting).

    I want something where I can upload multiple images from my phone and get multiple direct link URL copied to clipboard or able to share in one touch.

    When I posted 5 images on secret santa I was alternating between chrome to post a link in my message draft then back into imgur to copy the next. Shite.

  • Photobucket uploading multiple is easy, but sharing is still one by one.
  • Same with Imgur and, I believe, everything I've ever seen. That's a pretty specific request you'll probably be hoping for some random with the same requirement to have made an app that uploads to existing services for.
  • Just noticed Tapet is on sale, if anyone wants the best wallpaper generator I've ever seen.

  • Just realised my keyboard holds 10 or so copies in memory so that's quite a good work around. Nice

    Actually perfect.

    What memory?, can you set a smart button to macro [ img] and [ /img] as that would be easier

    I don';t think mine does that, might change keyboard again again, all the swipes fail eventually, I'm starting to think it's my fingers, I hardly type much better on here

    Is it still a thing where we post our home screens here? It is? Good, here's mine.

  • Is it possible to use Google Play Music without subscribing? I saw something about uploading your own music to stream but only see a subscribe button in the app.

    Pretty sure that's part of the subscription.
  • Yeah was starting to think that. Obviously read wrong somewhere, got the impression it was like the photos app that gives you a free allocation.

    Actually, just having a Google about and maybe it is free to do that. Not sure how either, though.

    It's free, search for Google play music uploader, it's a dinky app that you point to your music collection on your pc, it will upload all your music (50k tracks) and then they'll be available through the app, and through any web browser by signing into Google. First upload will take forever, but you'll see things start showing after only a few minute

  • Cheers cocko,will have a look. Might have to start culling to get down to 50k though! :D

  • I'm due an upgrade in march. Been using a wee vodaphone own brand thing recently, as my lg g flex 2 shat itself completely in October.

    Looking for opinions. I generally tend to get a fairly top whack phone and contract, as the mrs gets a discount with vodafone through working for the council, so it brings it down a bit.

    So far, i quite like the look of the htc u ultra. Had a sensation then a one m7, liked them both. Went from the m7 to the lg and regretted it instantly (stupidly only chose it because it came with a free g watch, which i hardly use), the os was utter shite. But I'm also tempted to wait and see if they launch the htc11 next month.

    Never been a huge fan of Samsung phones really. They look great and seem to have top specs and features, but they've just never appealed to me. But, I'm a sucker for a freebie (see above) and if they were to wave some vr toy at me i might go for it.

    This new Nokia phone, yay or nay? Leaning towards nay myself. Had an early Nokia iPhone rival a few years back (forget the model), was alright, but a bit meh.

    Any other suggestions? Her friend works for three and swears by honor (i think that's the brand), there's also brands like huwaei and the oneplus things. They worth a go? Saw there's a bigger badder sony on the way as well.

    Not interested in an apple phone. Never have been. 

    Cheers in advance, all input welcome.

    I've got the S7 edge which came with a free vr thingy from carphone warehouse. It's a pretty great phone and I've never really liked Samsung before.
  • S7 Edge is probably the best phone on the market.

    Honor is a Huawei brand, their budget range if I remember rightly. Some people hate the UI with a passion though.

    OnePlus 3 is a pretty stunning phone also.

    But imo they haven't really done a flagship since the z5, the x thing was in many ways inferior

    On the plus side that means hopefully it won't cost

  • Sony are likely to announce a new handset soon. I forget what the rumour was, but next month I believe it's supposed to be.

    Pretty certain I would too, still a little frustrated at no new shinies

    But I hope what Dante says is right so I can have a new techy thing to lust after
