This should be sufficient to obtain root privs and speed reading most of the latter part of the thread it seems straightforward.

Alas I don't see Mac O/S references nor do I have any knowledge of IOS although if you know how to, I found references to people successfully using a virtual XP machine.

Yeah but I don't need to do it unless I can't cope with the battery life

and like it does upgrade to Kit Kat So why worry?

Currently I'm on 4.2.2

This is going to be soooooo much a better phone

Now I need advice on cases (cheap - not superglue/suction - leather)

And they sell cases for them as well but I don't know if they are suction pad cases or like even superglue cases and I just want neither of those two

I know bugger all about mobile phones except you do loads of things on them, even make a phone call without wires, it`s magic I tell ya !!!! 

Funnily enough I hardly ever make calls on my Phone!!! I tend to use Whatsapp more than anything!!!

I get all my phone coves/cases from this vendor. The magnetic clasp is pretty good on them, the phone just clips in, and free collect from Argos (if you're close enough to one. If that's not practical then ignore me

Ordered from FT....£5 for a really nice blue case. Am prepared to wait for it

Now we have a problem with delivery on this phone. Vendor asked for mobile number for courier (DPD/UPS) but no tracking number!!! and what with last week vit pills being delivered to wrong address (hermes) am a little concerned

Going to leave it till later then hassle. Easy way to muck up your ebay ratings by poor communication

[hazza1962]

Sorry to hear about that I hope it clears up!!! Oh hang on I've just put my glasses on, It says Hermes!!!

[Deleted]

hazza1962 and now I'm coughing having made my chest bad by going out to choir last night in the freezing cold!!!

[Deleted]

I still don't have a tracking number

On ebay 'estimated delivery' it says next week (mon-wed). At the bottom of the listing it says 2 business days

Chances of it going walkies guys? Customer service is based in Hong Kong

*prods thread alive* I am laying blame squarely on you @johanino

I noticed your thread the other week, and my trusty samsung has been problematic of late........ and it set me off wondering about an upgrade, as you do!

Today I have totally blown my vape budget AND spent my christmas money and in a few days time I will be a proud owner of a new mobile ( I do sim only - and then buy phone outright) I did so love my samsung galaxy note ONE but its a bit ancient.... so was considering attempting to bag a version 3, but the prices! even on eBay

Last time I bought a phone, I deliberated and decided a phablet would suit ( I don't take many calls, but do like to be internet connected) this time I decided I was camera focused... and I found a galaxy K zoom and fell in love ( actually I saw the s4 zoom 1st and then spotted the later model bargain - currys/pc world open box deal) so its going to be a joy photo adding online now

Remember Pepperty you can only sit on the crazy couch without sharp objects (as it's inflatable)

Linky to this phone

I'm having 'one of those nights' - people probs . and feeling wretched. How much did this phone cost thee? £400? Or just £300?

My vape budget per month is no where near that!!! LOL (actually I don't think I have a vape budget LOL)

Believe clairea is selling a provari

[Pepperty]

£200 and half is funded by vape clearing, other by xmas money --- samsung K <<and ignore rrp. I'm not that nuts!

and it saves me buying a camera as my 'point & shoot' is misbehaving, and it is 4 years old and had a heavy life ( it'll last out enough to continue my concert photography hobby I hope)
