its the power button breaking off the pcb that my problem!
plus dismantling it may not help my warranty claim if i mess anything up
ive moaned countless times in the past about phones needing accompanying pc software but id love some right now!
Because the cutout in the case is for the speaker, not the LED. Its so you can be on a call with the case shut.

end of Feb a bunch of stuff will be announced. GS5, Nokia Android phone and other stuff. Don't care though, all I want is nexus nexus nexus anal nexus nexus nexus.
Nokia Android? I thought they were in bed with Microsoft.
I wouldn't consider any android phone now unless it was a nexus
What's to stop other manufactures offer a stock experience?
Nothing. Most cheaper non mainstream brand phones come with vanilla Android. There is also a move to offering Google Play Editions that have the stock Android and will revive updates rapidly like Nexus devices.
I'm with you, I'm now only interested in devices closely tied to Google that will get Android updates quickly and for an extended period of time.

Nokia has forked Android and made it look somewhat like Metro, it well be a super low end device IIRC.
**** or get off the pot my friend!
It's also something Nokia were working on before MS bought them, will be interesting to see what it performs like, and how the OS is changed.

MS and Android have already created a dual operating system (or one that runs in parallel) so I don't see why Nokia wouldn't want to do an android based system.
In other news, I've got the dreaded Error installing app -24 error - only call for it is a reset, and I've just got the phone the way I want it :'(
Ah well.

Ah well.
you can delete the /data/data/appnamehere stuff to resolve it. I've had the same issue before and this fixed it.
backup launcher etc? and reset and restore?
Some people swear by Qualcom Battery Guru app to help battery life.
Cheers. Ill take a look.

It basically just puts your device to sleep and wakes it ever X mins to get data. If your a heavy messaging type of person the affects will vary or for example you will get your FB/Whatsapp messages ever 15mins.

Thanks chaps.
I used adb connection from the sdk tools and managed a full backup (despite not being rooted else I'd have used Titanium backup) and reset and restored, and within 30mins my phone was back as is and apps were downloading without any errors.
I'm not a heavy anything user really, which is why I'm disappointed in the battery. 2 hours of of music and browsing each way on my commute and for the rest of the day it sits on my desk doing nothing except pinging for the occasional Hangouts message or email. And after all that I'm usually down to 10% battery when I get home, which is frankly poor.
If the battery degrades over time, like I expecct it too, then in a year I can see it not making it through a day without an extra charge.

That is **** poor compared to most here. Is your phone rooted? You can try see what is using up your battery. One thing I found that sucks balls is how Google now uses WiFi to find your location, you can disable this in wifi settings under advance, the problem is that it tends to keep your device awake most of the time and WiFi is always on scanning, even if you turn it off.
