I want to just buy the screen on its own, I have a friend who is experienced fixing phones and if I just buy the screen he will fit it for me.

A screen isn't going to cost 180euro??? I thought about 20-40euro should buy it it's just hard for me to find one because vodaphone don't make the phones..

That's just the touch digitiser, not the actual screen/LCD. Is your screen cracked, or just that bit?

What do you mean?

I'm on Three and it'll work fine with data roaming off but I have it on because when 3 IRL coverage drops, it switches to O2-IRL. Otherwise it would just have no coverage at all.

Update your android version.
That sorts it.

Screenshot button is so damn annoying. Impossible to take a quick screenshot with the cover on.

The screen shot button is grand, it's your cover which is annoying

Screenshot button is annoying. 2 buttons very close to each other.

I have to change my hand position to do it, getting hands and fingers in the way.

OK, really close to buying this but have a couple of questions.
I use bluetooth headphones and in the car daily - does it work well for listening to music over Bluetooth ? Is Bluetooth issue where phone goes into silent fixed ?

I use my phone for taking photos of documents ("scanning") for Evernote etc ..
Is the camera good enough for that ?

Thanks in advance !

The 2 buttons can be pressed with the one finger, use your thumb.

I have two different sets of Bluetooth headphones I use to listen to music with and it works fine with both.
I don't know of the issue you mentioned but I've never had that problem.

The camera on the phone is good in good lighting, took a trip to the zoo recently and got some great shots with the camera so I would imagine it would do a good job of scanning documents

I'm still having the problem with the phone not ringing when getting in and out of the car. It is definitely a Bluetooth problem because if I restart the phone it will ring no problem for the rest of the day.

I have a couple of bluetooth devices (car, stereo and headphones) and don't experience the same. I wonder if it's worth just resetting the phone back to factory settings to see if that sorts it? Considering doing the same on mine due to battery drain.

I have been thinking of doing that ok, but have been putting it off. I have 4 mates that are having the same problem. It's the only problem I have with the phone. Great value for money phone otherwise.

It's happened to me a couple of times too, but it's not consistent.

This phone is great. Since I removed messenger plus and got adaway working.

...but they make you buy a top up (£10) and probably won't deliver to PM/PW.
