Google Nexus 4

[Dan519]

Given the S4 announcement recently, is this still the best android handset out there?

I've come to the conclusion that OEM skins are the route of all issues with android. As long as Samsung use Touch-wiz, they're going to be offering a worse phone.
I think I'll stick with Nexus devices from now on

 

[MarkCup]

Seems like a Nexus 4 it is then.

 

[Danny133]

Does android have the same emoji as ios?!

 

[Alex5]

the galaxy s4 is going to be even bigger then the s3, this may not be an issue for you but imo the s3 is already too big

Does android have the same emoji as ios?!

Lol at being a concern but yes. Its android, you can change your whole message app if you wish.

How to i add emoji to the standard messaging app?

 

[Danny133]

And how do i remove home screens .. I want 1 not 5!

 

[BatFastard]

How to i add emoji to the standard messaging app?

Settings in messages app -> Tick enable Emoji support.

 

[Danny133]

And they are the same emoji as on the iphone?

 

[BeXE]

Best bet is a custom launcher - Nova is a good one as it resembles stock Jelly Bean, but allows you to tweak more stuff.

Oh, I ordered my Nexus last night to replace my creaky HTC Sensation. Can't wait for it to turn up, although not looking forward to butchering my SIM to fit!

 

[DrR]

lol at the emoji concern.

 

[Danny133]

Still cant find emoji!!!

I need it to send p**n texts to my wife!!!!

 

[Danny133]

Ah offs how do I change the default gallery app? I downloaded a new one but can't change it!!

 

[Alex5]

just play with the phone! the more you use it the more you will learn

 

[DrR]

Random one, but can I have pretty much anything I want as a ring tone? So if i reccorded my voice could have that as a ring tone, or an mp3 etc?

yep, any mp3 file can be made into a ringtone. i have tribute by tenacious d

 

[DrR]

something the iPhones yet to manage without messing about with itunes lol.

I'm tempted to buy one of these, bored of IOS now.

 

[Danny133]

I can't find it nor on Google!!

 

[H182]

^Download chomp SMS and the emojii plug in, that'll work.

 

[Danny133]

Done! And it works just like iPhone? Can I now delete the stock message app?

 

[H182]

You can't, but remove it from your home screen etc and it'll never bother you. Yes works like iphone, I use them all the time.

 

[.Adam.]

So people that have these - thoughts?

The other half needs a new phone, and this seems like the obvious choice IMO.

 

[Danny133]

So messages will appear in both apps?!

 

[H182]

Yes, they look at the same message store. If you turn the notifications off on the stock one, you'll never know its there.

 

[Danny133]

So if i delete a message from chomp it will delete from the stock app too?

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

Yep

 

[Danny133]

Ffs can I delete stock all?

 

[realnumber 1]

Ffs can I delete stock all?

Why are you so bothered? It takes up f**k all space!:S?

I suppose if you really want to remove it then rooting it and getting a new ROM is probably the best option.

 

[Danny133]

It annoys me having 2

 

[H182]

Just ignore it.. its the easiest option.

 

[Danny133]

OCD

 

[unofficialPete]

Can someone explain wtf is going on.

Nexus 4 from Google Play is £279

o2 want ~£400 on various nutty 18/24 month contracts.

Am I missing something? Anyone recommend a good SIM only contract?

 

[realnumber 1]

GiffGaff for sim only or the £26 deal on tmobile were the best I found.

[unofficialPete]

Cheers, O2 will recycle my 4s for £220, may as well get the phone outright and not be tied in for 18 months?

Some decent 12 month SIM deals for just over a tenner a month..

ive been on O2 contract as long as I can remember, am I missing anything with the above option?

 

[DrR]

I'd use giffgaff, it uses 02s network and even says 02 in the corner of my phone.

 

[unofficialPete]

Perfect thanks! even better I've just found my iphone is massively cracked under the gelaskin, flol, best save a little more...

 

[Danny133]
