limpid Posted July 8, 2016 Administrator Share Posted July 8, 2016 1 hour ago, Demitri_C said: How was the phone? I didn't arrive until 7pm. So far, it's all good. Bigger and heavier than I expected - but that's because of the battery. The screen is fine, it's quick. The Android restore process is getting pretty good. The only downsides are the hardware buttons (but I'll get used to them), no 5G wi-fi and no NFC (but I need to explore what HotKnot is). It'll be interesting to see how the battery holds up over the next week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zak Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Interestingly in my quote above there seems to be something above " That's a lot of phone for the price. And a 6000mAh battery " however in the original post it just looks like you said that alone, which did look a little odd but its an internet forum so....

Maybe its justified using an addblocker even though im a donor, so i dont see the ads the Admin try and sneak in under our noses Anyway on topic: I was tempted to get a new phone a while ago, thinking i wanted a waterproof phone but decided to wait abit, see what the new nexus would be like etc. My Oneplus 1 was fine although got a bit muddles up with its newest update. i just wanted something new and shiny though. However I cracked the screen on my 1+1 last week and so the oneplus 3 arrives this evening. Never used a case but the below looks great imo so bought it to try it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT123 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Has anyone got an LG G3? I've had mine for just over a year and the battery life is awful. The brightness is set to auto, I use it for browsing/twitter for a couple of hours a day and can never make it a full day without it dying.

By day do you mean 24 hours or the time between getting up and going to bed? If you have the screen on for a couple of hours a day then that's going to hit the battery a bit. That early 4k screen is a hige battery drain. It's got QI wireless charging though so you can top it up whenever you're near a computer without messing about with leads.l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Just took the case off my Z3 compact to clean some of the dust out and noticed a crack straight across the back, its never been banged or dropped. So I spoke to Sony on the live chat and they say it needs to be returned to be reviewed for a repair. I said it seems to be a common issue with these (glass braking without being dropped) and he said "I can confirm that there is no common issues with the Xperia Z3 Compact"... I said there are thousands of people online who have the exact same issue with the glass cracking like this without being dropped/knocked and he just said it again, "there are no common issues with this model"... Alright mate, I think we both know you're lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright mate, I think we both know you're lying. My son has a Z3, cracked the backglass multiple times. I ordered replacements from china for about 2 quid each with free shipping. Inly downside is the time it takes for the goods to arrive, usually a month. Clicky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clicky Cheers for that, are they just glued in? It migth be easier to just do it myself rather than send my phone away for a week. UPDATE: looks to be available for <£3 from the UK via eBay.

They usually have adhesive on them but best to double-check. To remove the old glass, blow on it for a while with a hair-dryer and have some tools ready 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Pepsi have entered the Smart Phone market (yeah I know??), and it seems to be very good value. http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_399893.html?fsdfsdfsdfdshgjuyjuy=&utm_source=tt_fr Display: 5.5 inch 2.5D Arc screen Fingerprint Scanner CPU: MTK6592 Octa Core 1.7GHz System: Android 5.1 RAM + ROM: 2GB RAM + 16GB ROM Rear Camera: 13.0MP rear camera (with flashlight) Front Camera: 5.0MP front camera Sensor: Light sensor, Proximity sensor, Gravity sensor Bluetooth: 4.1 Features: GPS SIM Card: Dual SIM dual standby. One is Nano SIM Card, the other is Micro SIM card Network: 2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz 3G: WCDMA 1900/2100MHz 4G: FDD-LTE 1800/2600MHz All that and change out of £70 (although delivered from China on the slow boat). My guess is that Coca Cola will launch a rival product, it won't be as good but will sell more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted July 28, 2016 Administrator Share Posted July 28, 2016 @Genie It's cheap, but I think I'd pay a little extra for Android 6. Also, that's 16GB storage, not ROM. Another spec list for the same 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
