Slightly off topic:
If you buy an iPhone off apple.com or the like, can you just put ur regular pay-as-you-go meteor sim card into it? And does it just continue on the same plan as you are currently on on your old phone?
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S
Problem: Just last night, all my apps that were on my SD card, just stopped working (Clicked on one and it came up force close). In place of the app pics was a lil android man with SD in corner. Click on any them and “they cant be found”.
Ive lost over 30 +apps. I formatted the SD card ,Deleted everything, and as a tester, moved an app to SD card storage. I checked it and it worked. Then I knocked it off and back on and the app i moved over came up like the rest them last night?
Now theres 2 questions i have:
1) How do i fix my SD card/the actual problem itself? ( i googled and fewothers have same issue but no solution was posted on them boards)
2)How do i backup my apps to my PC? (Samsung kies only for contacts/photos etc)
Apps on the phone itself are grand.
Thanks in advace

Not sure what happened to your SD card but you can get all your apps from the android market place just sign in with your google account and re-download your apps

Is the internet always ON on android phones?
Another question, I've downloads an app so I can listen to Irish radio on the phone, would this app eat up my internet? Think I've 2GB a month allowance
talksport is very good. Richard keyes and andy grey have a super programme every morning from about 10-1. I dont like them in general but the programme is brilliant
Also lots of mainstream artists have their own channels which plays their music non stop. (Johnny cash, oasis, beatles, dylan, springsteen and loads more)
Used it properly for the first time this morning, feckin' brilliant listening to NewsTalk while walking to work
Lads wondering if any of you can help me out here. I'm looking to buy an Iphone 4, new or second hand (in good nick). Ive been browsing around gumtree, adverts and the likes but most of the people there selling are saying that they were bought as a bill pay phone. Some have said that are keeping the sim card and selling the phone on.
Say if i buy the phone and the person stops paying the bill, im assuming that the phone will then become blocked, is there anyway that id be then able to get it unblocked as im not willing to take a risk if it being blocked after buying and then not having a come back ??
Any info would help cheers.
Whoops wrong section, Can mod move please cheers
I'd run away from that Conor. There's plenty of phones that people will be away from their contract soon with a lot less risk. Since the iPhone 4 had the "antenna issue" at the start I'd say 99.99% of the handsets have been in a case, so should be in good nick. I'd be much happier buying a 1 year old one than a scammy-esque new one.
Or go on a bill. Apple.ie are starting to sell the 4 as 8gig only though so if you want a new 16/32gig then you better hit the retailers fast.
Be very very careful who your buying from, a friend of mine stupidly bought one from ebay from some lad in America the phone worked for a month, then broke. He brought it to apple to get it fixed they told him it was a dud iPhone. He is now in a long process of trying to get his money back.
There are a few people on adverts.ie telling me that the network provider cant block the phone if the bill isnt being paid. Does anyone know anything about this. Going to see if i can find anything on the net.
Seen the ads for this new 'network' called 48 Go Conquer that's only available to people aged 18-22? It's actually a bit of a marketing ploy from O2 (hosted entirely on their network and doesn't appear to be a separate company) to nick some market share off Meteor, who dominate that age bracket. You sign up for €10 a month and get unlimited calls/texts to any Irish mobile network. The site is supposed to be all 'down with the kids' and social networky and that - 'we threw this shit together' sort of thing - having been a software developer for them for years I can assure you that much will be bollocks!
However, I would seriously question whether the deal is legal under discrimination legislation. Thread about it below on boards.ie. Discounts for the Under 18s and OAPs are fine and insurance prices are specifically excepted from age discrimination legislation. Beyond that you're getting into murky waters legally, so actually enforcing the stated Terms & Conditions could be tricky for them. Would also be surprising if they adopted the attitude of '22? Go Fuck Off' (possibly to a rival network) whenever people on it hit that age.
Of course anybody not aged 18-22 will be accused of jealousy if they complain about this but that's completely missing the point. I wouldn't be surprised if it is illegal and O2 are doing this for the publicity (a la Ryanair), knowing they'll have to withdraw the offer and accommodate it under their own name on their network for the same rates. Will be interesting to see how this pans out.

Read most of that thread. They've said they're not part of o2, but ARE part of the telefonica group (I know its one and the same gaz, but I'm just pointing out they're trying to differentiate)
They also replied to some lads e-mail in a 'jokey' fashion saying they won't check his DOB ("or will we?"), so I think they won't preclude any age group.
The big problem with going for the 'young' 'social networky' market is their data prices are a bit crap. They'll charge €1 per hour (of load times apparently) which is a bit gick.
