What's your giffgaff member name? I'll be activating my sim soon, i'll see if i can put you down as recommending me.
The new Orange Android phone (San Francisco) £99...but a Question??
- Thread starter UOcUK Poopscoop
- Start date
Giffgaff SIM arrived, unlocked, installed, topped up. Any ideas how I activate net access? Giffgaff not showing up in Settings > Wireless & Network > Mobile Networks
.
got to the market page & download a app from there called giffgaff, run it & it will put the settings on
probably the best PAYG data service available.(true unlimted with no FUP)
They backbone onto o2 network, so not ideal for everyone, better checking the o2 reception where you live first.
Giffgaff.com
if you get recomended by someone already with them (like me), you get a free £5.
Failing that there is a help bit on giffgaff with how to enter the settings manually.
that sounds like your phone.
Its fine with Orange though ?? Its not a deal breaker its just noticeably worse than Orange..
maybe its the o2 mast in your area then.
Its as clear for me as the Tmobile i use for work, but both suffer from line issues depending where I am in relation to signal strength etc.
(edit)
Can't seem to find anything obvious about this as an issue when I googled it - Im going to try calling a m8 later who is on Orange with a Giffgaff PAYG sim, see if I can hear any difference.

Quick heads up on the battery with the overclocks i'm running (768 - 122Mhz).
Turned the phone on this morning spot on at 8am after charging it last night, it's not 6:33pm and it's gone from 100 to 99. This is with turning the screen on a couple of times and checking messages.
Note that I look after my battery and not had a single problem with the life as some people report in here. I only charge it when it's fully dis-charged.

huh? the cpu at stock loses more than 1% in 10.5hrs.
You must have everything turned off...? That would be around 50 days of life.
Yeah I have Advanced Task Manager running by INFOLIFE LLC or something like that, it's the only one that actually work and it works well. That and setCPU are the only two things ever running and i've set it so once the screen dims after 30 seconds it kills all processes bar those two. Also the reduced clock from 245 idle to 122 is probably helping too, when the phone is not in use it's basically being kept on life support lol.
Edit: And everything on that Power Control wiget is turned off bar the screen, so no background 3G BS and any other jazz.
