He's right. I had a Windows phone...it was fucking shite. No apps for it at all.

I had something similar with my bank account Mark, only had to use the phone insurance once when my old iPhone got nicked when I was at a NIN gig with some benny.
Do not get a Windows phone whatever you do
If I can't get this repaired I am getting

I considered getting a nice mid range phone like that. You'll be getting value for money iirc imo.

It gets gr8 reviews, I think it will do everything I need it to and at that price it doesn't matter if it gets thrown around a bit. I think it's the way forward for me tbh tbf

That's a decent idea, I'm going to give it a week or two in the rice and airing cupboard to see if it comes to life, if not then I'll do that.

Nah, dead still.

The Motorola is fine, very impressed with it for the price I paid. It's slick and the screen and speakers and cameras are decent enough.I never used to use 70% of the things the high end phones could do and for £150 this does all I need.

The only features I miss are fingerprint security and it hasn't got an NFC chip so I can't use my phone to pay for stuff like before. But for a third of the price I can live without those things.

I have a galaxy s5 and as of a couple days ago, every time I plug in my phone or remove it from the charger, I'll get a pop up notification that says "Your phone is in silent mode" I'll then have to choose "it's OK" or "I don't want to miss calls" for it to go away. Does anyone know how to turn this off?

I have and it mentions an app I don't have causing the problem. Had an ad pop up this morning as well.

My S6 will get the update to Nougat soon so hopefully that will fix it, S5 will not be getting the update :dabe:

This is a fix though, tbf it doesn't really pop up on the screen that much for me https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Gal ... 794#M22627
