Androidz

Postby Macho Man Randy Savage » Wed Dec 04, 2013 5:11 am

I have a lovely new HTC One being delivered tomorrow :icon_thumbsup: Better than iPhone :4hvvmagme0:

I have never owned an Android phone before.

What are the sweet sites to download games, apps for free/illegal? Maybe movies/tv shows in a suitable mobile format? Cheers chaps, k, thx lolz xx

All my apps an ting are above board, not done the shady stuff.

As for films and shows the native player or MX player will play pretty much anything so just use normal downloaded avi files etc. It's nice not having to sidestep all Apples restrictions tbh tbf

You get an app called "Astro File Manager"

Then you download the apps onto an SD card from your PC and "side load" them via Astro

I'd a great site for hacked apps back when my lad had his Xperia play, let me rack my brain. Most apps are free now with in app purchase and that bollox

The Htc one is a beaut tbf
Here's the torrent with novembers top apps

http://kat.torrenticity.com/top-paid-an ... 71826.html

Just stick them on an SD and open them from Astro

You mean micro SD? There is no expandable memory on the HTC one e.g how do I get the apps onto the phone...can I not just send them via micro usb?

Not sure how it works on a HTC but on my Galaxy S3 I didn't need pre-cracked apps or anything I just loaded the original apps onto my download folder on the S3 via PC. Phone didn't have to be rooted or anything like that.

Well josh has explained it

Android 4.0 and above doesn't support SD (micro)
It was one of my main griefs with it tbh

I'm gonna wait till i get home to tinker with it properly but it feels lovely in the hand, all aluminium and silver :poundit: the bundled headphones look boss as well :poundit: not like the shite Apple give you, I know from my iPod days.

I'm gonna insure it. Anybody else with a specific insurer? I think I will upgrade my Nationwide account, it's £10 a month but you got benefits including mob insurance and since I cancelled my Spotify I have a 'spare' £10 a month.
Thats good Keith, your mates were trying to merk you in that comp.

Yeah I use my bank account for insurance. Those HTC Ones are meant to have great sound without headphones as well, two front facing speakers or something iirc.

They do look a nice bit of kit. I love my Note 2 but it is a bit plasticky.

Oh I thought you were an iPhone man Rich?

I was going to go for the Nexus 5 but it looks a little too bare bones for me with the OS.

I used to be but I switched back in April just to give it a try. They are all much of a muchness these days I just like the massive screen for reading and watching Netflix etc during downtime at work. Bit more longevity in Android stuff too, you don't feel obliged to upgrade every year just because Apple have made their older models less functional.

This HTC One is fucking lush. I haven't a clue what i'm doing with it yet but it really is a lovely piece of engineering. Keep in mind I have come from a Windows Phone which works nicely but is spartan in customisation and apps this HTC is :cno: in comparison

Black

My only option is to give it to my brothers son who is 9, but my brother says he's not allowed a phone
Ridiculous really

I could probably give it to my dad but he'd never work those tiny bottons

Seeing as we're all hanging around for the boxing I thought I would post about my new phone, the S6.

It's great.

That is all.
