How to fix a mobile internet connectionBlog

[b]Are you having a nightmare with your mobile connection? Sometimes phones can develop strange random faults – like only being able to get online when connected to Wi-Fi. Frustrating, we know. Don’t worry though, we’ve put together a list of tips to help you get those connection problems sorted. [/b] [h3][b]Make sure it isn’t just a slow connection [/b][/h3] At times a connection can be so slow that it seems like you have no connection at all. Take a look at the signal bars at the top of your screen, and check there are no symbols that show a mobile internet connection. Prime examples would be: E, 3G, 4G, H, H+ or 46/LTE. Any of these symbols show that your phone is in fact connected to the internet – which means your issue is internet speed. Get in touch with iD to check if there are any connectivity issues in your area. [h3][b]Turn it off and on again[/b][/h3] Yes, that’s right, the old cliché. But believe it or not, the low-tech fixes are often the most effective. And even i

Here’s everything you need to know right off the bat, so you can start getting the most out of it. [/b] [h3][b]The setup[/b][/h3] So, you’ve taken your iPhone out of the box, marvelled at its shiny exterior – now it’s time to switch it on. Once you do, it’ll say “hello” (obviously). You can then set it up as new, or transfer data from your old phone. Transferring data from an Android? Download the Move to iOS app – or check out [url=http://]our FAQs for more details[/url].

How GPU Turbo will improve your gaming experienceblog

[b]Have you heard about the new Honor Play phone? It’s a new smartphone built for gaming, and has something called GPU Turbo, which boosts gaming performance. It makes your favourite games look better, and feel better to play. But what is GPU Turbo, and how does it work? Here’s everything we know so far.[/b] As great as the latest mobile games are, they still have some way to go to match console games. However, they’re getting close. And that’s where GPU Turbo, which is backed by Huawei and its sub-brand Honor – comes in. [h3]What is this GPU Turbo? [/h3] It’s a new feature found on the new Honor Play phone.

What we love about the Samsung Galaxy S9 camerablog

[b]Torn between the Samsung Galaxy S9 and the Samsung Galaxy S9+? We’re not surprised, both are great Android phones, with amazing photography skills. We love taking photos with either phone, here’s a few reasons why you will, too.[/b] [h3]Take photos like a pro at any time of day[/h3] Taking photos at night isn’t easy. Only the best cameras can take a great shot in low light. What you need is a good aperture, and the Galaxy S9 has that. It can automatically switch between two aperture sizes (f/2.4 and f/1.5), for spectacular photos during the day, or late evening in dim light. For dark scenes, the camera lens switches to an f/1.5 aperture to let in more light. You’ll find this perfect for shooting on a night out, or in dimly lit venues like restaurants. During the day, the lens goes back to f./2.4 for clear daytime photos that are sharp and full of colour.

Five ways your phone can get you out of troubleblog

[b]You may not realise it, but your phone can help you in more ways than you know. It can get you out of a tight spot, and be a real lifesaver when you least expect. So, with that in mind, here’s a look at five ways your phone can get you out of trouble. [/b] [h3]Find an emergency route to work[/h3] You’ve forgotten to set your alarm - nightmare, and now you’re late for that all-important job interview. Stressing will get you nowhere. Instead, whip out your phone, and use one of the many map apps available for Android or iOS phones.

Hands-on with the Samsung Galaxy A8blog

[b]The Samsung Galaxy A8 has arrived, and there are plenty of reasons to get excited. Why? Because it’s an affordable smartphone, yet one that’s packed with features you’d expect to find on a premium phone.[/b] We’ve recently got our hands on an A8, and we’re mightily impressed by what it can do. Here’s what we think of it so far. [h3]A screen worthy of your viewing time[/h3] [img]58c32b1a-77ed-4aa1-9040-bf482ac1a7e1.png[/img] The A8 has taken its share of inspiration from the more premium flagship Galaxy S8. In fact, the A8 isn’t too far off the same look and feel. The glass front, and rear metal frame is as much of a joy to look at as the S8. The upper and lower bezels around the phone have also been slimmed down, so most of the front is just screen, and distracting black borders around the edge are a thing of the past. As specs go, you’re looking at a 5.6-inch Super AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution. Naturally the viewing experience is great. The colours are br

How to pick the right phone caseblog

[b]Choosing a phone case is tougher than you think. You could get one that offers protection from anything you can throw at it, or one that’s super-stylish, but perhaps not as strong. Still stuck for ideas? Then let us inspire you with these helpful tips.[/b] [h3]Choose your colour[/h3] [img]1df2f42b-d1d6-450e-b5cc-dd84a670c165.png[/img] The colour of your new phone case might be the first thing you consider. Go for something bright if you want to transform your phone into a fashion accessory, or something transparent if you want to show off your phone - and keep it protected - without covering it up. [h3]Go for something that’s tough[/h3] Along with looks, protection should be at the top of your thinking. Phone cases come with varying degrees of toughness. How tough you decide to go depends on your lifestyle, and how clumsy you are, because let’s face it, we’ve all dropped our phone at least once.

Are megapixels important?blog

[b]When searching for a great camera phone, one of the things we tend to look at first is how many megapixels it has. A phone with a bigger megapixel count may sound tempting, but there’s more to a great camera phone than that magic number. Here are a few more things worth considering.[/b] [h3][b]All about the lens[/b][/h3] A good lens is an important – if not the most important – factor when it comes to phone photography. It controls how much light comes into the camera. [img]0e853aae-246b-4b93-b34e-c2cf87c3eb2d.jpg[/img] Many manufacturers have their own trusty external lens supplier. Nokia for example loves using Carl Zeiss lenses in its higher-end cameras, as the company is renowned for high quality lenses capable of capturing crisp, sharp image. The Huawei P20 Pro relies on a Leica lens, in its excellent triple-lens camera phone. [h3][b]Look out for aperture[/b][/h3] Aperture is another thing to consider. Aperture is measured in f stops, followed by a number. Ideall

It’s been crafted from a single piece of aluminium, giving it a smooth, clean-cut quality. And the fingerprint sensor, hidden in the home button, will protect the phone’s contents from any overly-curious school friends. The polarised 5.2-inch HD screen makes everything as easy to read in bright sunlight as indoors. The picture quality is pin sharp and colours are bold and bright.

Would you like some Android Pie?Blog

[b]Google's newest version of Android has an official name at last. The P is for ‘Pie’. It’s rolling out right now, and it’s packed with some extremely handy new features. Let’s check them out.[/b] [h3]A clever operating system[/h3] Google Pie will get to know your habits, and use this info in a really smart way. For example, if there are one or two apps you use the most, the battery will make sure there’s some battery left for them – directing power to those apps at the time you need them. On top of the adaptive battery, there’s also a thing called adaptive brightness, which works out for itself how you use your brightness settings.

How to shoot the best videos on your phoneBlog

[b]These days anyone with a smartphone can be a filmmaker. But filming a shaky eight-second clip of the family butchering ‘Happy Birthday’ isn’t going to win you any Academy Awards anytime soon. Here are a few smart tricks that could take you from ‘quality’s hazy’ to ‘the next Scorsese’.[/b] [h3]Tweak your settings[/h3] Setting the right tone for your video is essential, and the best way to do that is by finding the right setting for what you’re filming. Your smartphone isn’t limited to shooting just one type of video. In fact, most of them offer a few different frame rates and resolutions to choose from. Android users can adjust their settings in the main camera app by clicking on the settings gear wheel. Or, if you’re an Apple user, just go to Settings, scroll down to Photos & Camera, and then go down to the camera section.

Tips for protecting your phone in hot weatherblog

[b]While you’re basking in glorious sunshine, don’t forget about your phone. It doesn’t enjoy hot weather quite as much as we do, so keeping it cool is important. Any prolonged exposure to heat can cause your phone to slow down, and have a huge impact on its battery life. So the big question is, what can you do to protect it? Here are our top tips.[/b] [h3]Don’t let your phone get sunburnt[/h3] It’s simple. You should never let your phone stay out in the sun for too long. On a sunbed? Put a towel over it. Chilling in a beer garden? Then find a shady spot, or better still, put your phone in your pocket when you’re not using it. Find any way you can to throw your phone some shade. [h3]Don’t leave it in the car either[/h3] There’s a reason you shouldn’t leave pets in a car. With the windows closed, your car heats up in no time, and the results can be fatal.

When looking through your camera roll, you’ll see both your videos and photos. On Android, tap the video icon to record as normal, then press the “camera” or “shutter” icon while you’re filming. Then find your photo in your gallery. [h3]2. Get tethering [/h3] Need the internet to use your laptop or tablet, but there’s no hotspot around, or no Wi-Fi in the bar or pub you’re in? No worries.

Ready up, and read on…[/b] [b][h3]Get some extra life[/h3][/b] Advanced graphics and stunning special effects can really enhance your gaming experience. But they can also drain your battery pretty quickly too. So what’s the solution? For starters, try turning down the brightness on your display. Dimming down the on-screen action to a less eye-melting level is a great way of saving power. You should also think about disabling Bluetooth and Wi-Fi if you’re playing an offline game, and even turning down the volume. These days, most good games come with their own power saving options. Typically, these will reduce the quality of the graphics to extend your battery life. So if your favourite game is hitting your battery hard, dive into its settings and look out for a battery or power saving mode. Last but not least, why not trea

What exactly is Android Oreo (Go Edition)?Blog

For example, there’s Google Go, which promises to be an easy way of finding what you’re looking for on the internet. It’s only 5MB, so it’s speedy to download and won’t take up much space.

Will your phone survive a poolside mishap?Blog

[b]It’s holiday time! And if you’re preparing to fly out somewhere hot and sunny (just like here in the UK!), you’ll want to make sure your phone can stand up to inadvertent beachside or poolside splashes. [/b] First thing’s first. Don’t go in the water with your phone. Even if it says it’s water-resistant, is it really worth it?

Ditto the pool - lots of chemicals in there, which will help keep your pool clean, but not so good for phones.
