villarule123 Posted October 27, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 27, 2014 Why is it that when I want a Z3 Compact, it's never at the price I want (£320 tops) but when I didn't want it I saw it loads of times in and around this price?

Eames Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Interesting story. Now I'm not massively technologically minded and certainly no espionage expert either, but surely the Chinese Government (if it is really them) could come up with something better than "Baidu" as the folder with an ISP connection that leads straight to Beijing. Surely its too obvious for nefarious state snooping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I now regret sending messages claiming to be a British spy with evidence of wrong-doing by China. SHIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why Google made a fuss about encrypting all email between their datacentres, because the taps were on parts of the networks outside their control.

If you have battery issues, I'd have gone for a phone with a removable battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Sorry if this has been mentioned- If you go into your phone or tablet settings and then the apps. Then force close Google play movies of its running. Then clear the data and cache. Now when you load the Google play movies app you get a free copy of Gravity.

Ingram85 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) So my next phone is gonna be that HTC desire 820 that was announced nearly 2 months ago. One problem, no one has any idea when it is coming out. Why announce something if you aren't going to release it or at the least release any type of information at all? Any longer and I may get the 816 instead. Edited October 30, 2014 by Ingram85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
