Anyone got any ideas why my phone persistently connects to BTOpenzone wifi networks even though I've told it to forget the connection? So annoying as none of my emails or whatsapps get delivered until I noticed and disconnect/turn off wifi.

I had this once and it had something to do with a Vodafone app.

Still confused! By android that is!

Confusing at first but awesome when you get used to it

That's why I've gone for it! Hopefully come Monday I will be a convert!

I've got free phone, two months free and then £29 a month with unlimited texts, Internet and I think 500 mins.

I set up a swap partition and with Yank's kernel and phone flies

I meant to comment on this earlier... Why have you set up a swap partition? Are you running out of memory?

No particular reason really... I have a Class 10 card and just wanted to try it. At the moment the phone is using just under 200mb of swap and I have 90mb of free RAM.

Anyone successfully used a 64GB microSD card while running on a non-stock rom?

If by non-stock you mean a modded rom (rather than a CM-based one), then yup. I'm running the Sandisk 64gb card with crDroid.

I'm using one in my non-stock ROM, no problems at all

*Note: it's a LTE model running the Ripper ROM

You'll love it, just ask in this thread if you have any questions. I spend nearly all my time in here, as do some others

Pc-Gamer12 · 8 Feb 2013 at 21:55

Correct me if I'm wrong but this does say it has 16gb of memory doesn't it ? Or is it saying that i can have 16gb ? Just wondering if I need to buy a memory card ?
