Hi i'm currently on Cyanogen 10.1 what would I gain moving to 10.2?

 

[Rusty!]

It says ISF Air SP £500 on the receipt

I had to pay extra for the insurance was about £2.50 extra iirc. Otherwise I was only covered for like £20-£50 on the other options available.

If it says £500 on the receipt then it must be insured to that amount. Otherwise would have cost me £10 to ship to Ireland.

Yeah you wasted that £2.50, you're not covered I'm afraid: http://www.royalmail.com/business/h...e-compensation-for-our-international-services

So if something happens I tell royal mail I sent them a £300 watch

CM11 is currently in development. You're probably best just waiting for that to be sorted properly.

I did it, killed my ability to use Franco Kernel But everything else is working fine. Out of interest was a straight forward update with no firmware format being required. Just install CM 10.2, install GApps for 4.3 and done

Broke my screen today, phone powers up but will not respond to any touches, was sitting on a kerb when I dropped it so not from a particularly great height, not impressed really, especially considering I dropped my iPhone 3GS multiple times without it breaking. Was in a case too with a screen protector. Ah well, £25 excess on the insurance.

I don't think a single experience can really damn the phone. My daughter is on her 3rd screen with her iphone 3rd screen btw is also cracked but i've given up

 

[BYTEr]

I still think the phones great, especially for the price and I wanted the stock android with it being my first android device, but the screen shouldn't be cracking or imo shouldn't be cracking from the little height it dropped, especially in a case and with a screen protector.

It's annoying as I was going to return the phone anyway due to it not charging properly which is apparently a common fault with micro USB chargers.

I am loving this phone still. Even running an unofficial port of 4.4 Kit Kat and odexed gapps mixed with ART. The phone is even faster!

ART of course has its downsides with app compatibility since it is experimental. However, it makes multitasking amazingly fast, apps load faster, and Chrome scrolls super fast on large web pages.

 

[Simian]

What Apps have you found that don't play well with ART so far???

I've heard Whatsapp is throwing wobblers on the N5 when people play with ART..

 

[Matteysan]

That is the only one I've heard about so far that isn't playing ball with ART. Of course there maybe more but I haven't heard or read anything about any others.

 

[Locke]

There are quite a few that I don't use, a list of them somewhere that I saw (can't remember where). Luckily I don't use WhatsApp as often as I like.

 

[sports_brah]

[Thomss]
