I have the full version of SwiftKey, but see no option to use emoji outside of things like WhatsApp and textra?

have you updated it?

 

[ShakenNstirred]

yeah check google play.
I got an email off swiftkey that the update is up now.
updated mine about an hour ago

 

[Captain]

have you updated it?

I hadn't until you just reminded me

 

[B&W]

For anyone with wake lock issues due to Google search do a factory reset after installing the new firmware if that doesn't fix it then clear Google search cache and app data.

Worked Wonders for me I'm now getting 1% idle loss an hour before it was 5 to 7 percent an hour.

I have both network location history and reporting enabled with location set to high accuracy. So very happy with new firmware.

And I've finally rooted it. Love gravity box what other apps do people recommended for root.

slick wrap carbon fiber skin arrived today and tbh not that impressed

- corners don't fully stick down so left with a wee gap thus looks a bit cheap
- prefer the rubberised feel to this carbon fiber feel

Will get photos up later.

Use a hair dryer and blast the corners and the skin should automatically start to drop.

 

[Nexus18]

Ah cool, neat trick that, thanks

Although think I will take it of anyway, the rubberised back feels better imo.

Carphone warehouse have this at £249.95!

[Nexus18]

Some quick photos of the black carbon fibre skin, you can see where the corners haven't full stuck down

Spoiler

16 or 32 gb Nexus?

 

[Nexus18]

Have lots of music, big games, films or TV shows on your phone then 32gb, if not 16gb will be plenty.

I don't really listen to music on my phone, and don't play any games! More use it for on the spot photos, a few videos, social network stuff and whatsapp!

That's pretty much it!

 

[Nexus18]

Then 16gb will be fine

Updated to 4.4.3 but its terriable the % goes like seconds while searching the web.

I didn't do a backup, is there a way to go back to 4.4.2 without loosing all my data?

Refund? Shame as overall it looks nice but those corners are poor..

I have a screen protector on but its one of the H9s and has a bubble, will roast it soon but would hate to have any sort of scratch on my viewing pleasure

 

[Nexus18]

Yeah going to seek a refund later tonight.


Haven't got a scratch on my any of my last 3 android phones screens, just be careful with it and you should be fine i.e. don't put it face down on surfaces, keep it in a separate pocket etc.

 

[_Jimlad_]

That is a shame as looks nice.

So what does 4.4.3 get me other than a hole in my battery life?

 

[this_is_gav]

So what does 4.4.3 get me other than a hole in my battery life?

My battery is the same as 4.4.2 (2% loss overnight for example).

Fixed shed loads of bugs. Single drop out, hiss on video missed calls on 4g and loads more.

My battery is fine.

Anyone having GPS lock issues since 4.4.3?
