You can change the settings so it updates only over WiFi.

Open Settings in the Play Store App and ensure ‘Update over Wi-Fi Only’ is ticked.

Three have all you can eat data.

All you can easy data so long as you don’t exceed 15 Gb. If you hit this major milestone a few times three will restrict your “all you can eat data” quite severely.

There’s no such thing as all you can eat data. It’s a lie that the advertising board really should look into.

But you can rarely get a 3G signal from 3 outside the major towns, and you have to put up with someone in Mumbai telling you that you have full 3G coverage where you are….grrrr!

That’s not what mart said Kevin. I agree with Mart. Sometimes an update for an app may cause issues. What mart is saying is that you should allow yourself the option of checking out the new version of the app before downloading. Nothing to do with WiFi or data plan access.

Give your kids back whatever phone that was used for that post!!

I upgraded my galaxy s3 to jellybean and I’m sorry I did. My tablet is still on ice cream sandwich and I’m refusing to upgrade until jellybean2 is released and some bugs are sorted.

Cough”project butter” smooth but not as smooth as iOS.

As said above, only of you want to downgrade.

Bleh, if*

LMFAO….iPhone – the same since 2007.

Sorry, sorry, my mistake….the next one was brighter, the one after that was lighter, then next squarer, one after that had more colours, the next one had an s in its name……and the new one has a different charger. But buy it because we have global mass marketing advertising, and it’ll prove you’re cool.

Only if you want to downgrade!

Cooperguy: if you want to have a phone that just works and doesn’t choke to a stop when you start couple apps and web browser. Even quad core cpus don’t not help that android muck to be just smooth. Maybe with 6 or 8 cores and 4GB ram Android will be finally able to switch screens and apps without much hiccup :)
Oh, and it takes them 50 attempts (various brands and models) to get the screen right, but still hasn’t seen anything crisper and clearer and of same or better finger tips responsivity than 2 years old now apple retina screen. Android – keep trying though, competition can only make Apple work harder and better :)

Err Fizi everything you said there was rubbish. Unless you happen to be comparing a bargin basement android phone to a top of the range iPhone.

HTC One x or Galaxy S 3 for example both run just as smooth as any iPhone with screens just as good. On top of that you get the extra features at a lower cost that comes with Android.

iPhones “just work” for basics, Most of the time. Lets not forget when all iPhones lost their alarm function on the same day. That was a funny day at work. Lets also ignore their mapping functionality :)

Cooperguy: I am based my experiences on galaxy note 2 if this is low range android phone then good luck, it’s faster than s3…
And note2 is nowhere near smooth as iphone5, maybe only when you unpack it from the box. Load up 30 apps etc. and it starts lagging. Checked fact.
I dare to think how low range android phone is must be dire experience then…
And re google maps, check your facts right, there is official app for iPhone released back again like 2 weeks ago from google. So we are back sorted if you don’t like apple maps :)

@fizi “competition can only make apple work better” oh no there’s a new phone out, quick sue them and try to have their product banned cos we haven’t a clue what we’re doing since Steve Jobs died!

Apple are a company in a complete tailspin constantly releasing the same products with minor cosmetic changes.

I don’t think i have ever had 30 apps opened at once.

Gamma: why to fix something that isn’t broken?
And where is this revolutionary product from competition?
Maybe 1280×800 resolution screen in Samsung best Tablet (Note 10.1) ?
Or perhaps that revolutionary battery in Htc One X that will not last one full day?
LOL…
I love when fandroids bash apple when their products have bible of drawbacks and issues themselves.

Finally tell me how many jobs in Ireland are offered by Samsung or HTC?
As far as I know Apple puts bread on many people table in Ireland though.

Really you based it off the Note 2 did you???
Oddly enough I dont recall being able to run two apps at the same time on a iPhone
I also don’t recall being able to reply to someone on the journal, sms, email, Facebook, Twitter pretty much anything with my own hand writing which is then changed to text if I choose or sliding my finger over the letters on the keyboard or having a completely different on screen keyboard if I so wish on a iPhone.
I also don’t recall any lag or reboots or anything on either my S2 or Note 2
Oh sure it may not have iTunes, but then again I’m not thick, all I got to do is drag and drop all my music to my sd card if I want, without sacrificing space on my phone if I want to download some big games like Most wanted or Vice City.
And lastly I don’t recall just having three or four options to share a website, photo, video, an application anything really, I have the choice of what I want to share it over. Don’t think the iPhone gives you that choice.
Now if you don’t mind I gotta go back to catching the rest the news while watching a YouTube video.

Google employ around 2000 in Ireland.

Joseph: I wasn’t saying that iPhone 5 is better features packed than Note 2. I was saying it’s faster.
And I stick with it.
Note 2 as being probably best Android phone packs some deadly stuff indeed, probably best thing is whole S-Pen etc. But in fairness I did not find much use for most of the time.
Split screen multitasking is nice, but rather quickly finishes off the battery, also even though the phone is big, probably still 2 small for comfortable split screen – Note 10.1 tablet makes here more sense re this feature.
Don’t get me wrong, my first post was bit of windup for the reaction, but realistically I still prefer apple and their ios ecosystem. Less features than droid, but simpler, clearer, better myriad of apps (no arguing about this one, even tho android is catching up recently a lot – maybe another 1-2 years to match apple store) and does the job for me 100%. Enjoy your note2, good piece of technology anyway.

Sluazcanal: and Apple employs even more than 2000 people in Cork, so what :)

@fizi the Galaxy s3 has a super amoled display and boasts a 2100miah battery which is replaceable versus the 1800miah non replaceable battery you get with the iPhone. That’s before we talk about memory. Expandable or otherwise and convenience of having an industry standard micro usb connection for data transfer and charging rather then a pain in the hole “lightning” connection that will cost even more money should you want to keep your accessories from your old iphone

You tellem! The sooner people realise that android is very slow and lagging and much more confusing to use (i’ve had an s3, so i should know) the better. Iphone FTW!
