| brobostigon | sorry, tab fail | 08:57 |
| popey | MrFukinMoo: you might want to rethink that irc nickname | 08:58 |
| brobostigon | any sugegstions for an android twitter app, which will update and check even automatically, even with android's auto-sync off.? | 09:13 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: uh.. that's the point of turning auto-sync off: so it doesn't do that | 09:14 |
| * MartijnVdS likes the default twitter app | 09:14 | |
| brobostigon | MartijnVdS: i want to be able to turn auto-sync off, and then say to it, ok, check every hour or so. and keep control. | 09:16 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: what's wrong with auto-sync though? | 09:17 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: All of android works like that: auto-sync off -> no (or a lot less) background data | 09:17 |
| brobostigon | MartijnVdS: i may not want everything to auto-sync, battery life for example. | 09:17 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: The screen is the biggest battery user, not the radio. | 09:17 |
| brobostigon | MartijnVdS: i agree. | 09:18 |
| MartijnVdS | also, keep it connected as often as possible (I charge at home AND at work ;) | 09:18 |
| MartijnVdS | I never get it <70% | 09:18 |
| brobostigon | i try and do that also, but soemtimes circumstances make that difficult. | 09:18 |
| brobostigon | i will try the standard twitter app. | 09:19 |
| mungbean | is 08438320100 a real number? | 09:20 |
| MartijnVdS | That's numberwang! | 09:20 |
| mungbean | bah. what good is reporting numbers anyway | 09:21 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: I have one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Duracell-Mobile-Phone-Portable-Charger/dp/B005EF2TG4 | 09:21 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: for emergencies, mostly | 09:22 |
| mungbean | some numbers stay open annoying people for years | 09:22 |
| brobostigon | MartijnVdS: i recognise tht, i think you have mntioned it before. | 09:22 |
| mungbean | any cyanogen users know how to add their own personal emergency calls number? | 09:23 |
| MartijnVdS | mungbean: what, it doesn't recognise 0118 999 881 999 119 725 ... 3 by default? | 09:26 |

| Laney | * massage and grape feeding included | 09:41 |
| Laney | ah | 09:41 |
| brobostigon | another good exmaple. my gf asked me a few weeks ago, if we fancied a weekend in edinburgh, i said fine, looked at train cost, £270 offpeak return for us both. ouch. | 09:42 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: wow.. it's almost cheaper to fly | 09:43 |
| Laney | nice! | 09:43 |
| mungbean | so you took her for a nandos instead? | 09:43 |

| MartijnVdS | mungbean: Ah wait.. I have "Premium" | 09:44 |
| mungbean | i use it to listen to songs which i invariably buy | 09:47 |

| bigcalm | Because of that, I can also use it on my android tv dongle and listen to all musics though the hi-fi connected to the tv | 10:53 |
| mgdm | they added the new Arcade Fire track so I can stop listening to it on YouTube \o/ | 10:53 |
| bigcalm | I should mutter something about using the mele f10 with the android tv stick | 10:54 |
| bigcalm | At some point I might | 10:54 |
| bigcalm | All good so far, though the air mouse takes some getting used to. Very much not like using a wiimote | 10:55 |
| mgdm | We have those air mouse things in the conference rooms here | 10:55 |
| mgdm | they're not that good | 10:55 |
| bigcalm | It's nice having a full keyboard in your hands though | 10:56 |
| bigcalm | Haven't been able to connect to skype yet, but that might be because I'm possibly not putting my password in correctly | 10:57 |

| Azelphur | popey: on the smartphone side, I'm a real fan of this one at the moment http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/mobile-phones/HUAWEI_Y300 | 13:05 |
| Azelphur | brand new on pay as you go for £70, runs android 4.1 ootb, has a decent dual core 1ghz cpu, adreno 203, 5mp camera, microsd up to 32gb | 13:06 |
| Azelphur | really nice piece of kit that one :) | 13:06 |
| davmor2 | Morning all | 13:06 |
| bashrc | Could ubuntu touch be installed on it? | 13:07 |
| Azelphur | bashrc: I doubt it, atm ubuntu touch only supports the nexus line of devices afaik | 13:08 |
| popey | if someone ports it, sure | 13:08 |
| popey | Azelphur: nope | 13:08 |
| popey | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices | 13:08 |
| Azelphur | well yea, if someone ports it, sure | 13:08 |
| Azelphur | popey: I was right then,I was almost right then, only nexus devices are officially supported, but lots of third party ports about | 13:09 |
| popey | nice device | 13:09 |
| Azelphur | that's a very impressive amount of third party ports actually, I'm surprised | 13:09 |
| popey | mostly thanks to xda types | 13:09 |
| Azelphur | :) | 13:09 |
| Azelphur | but yea, couple of my friends bought the Y300, and I got one for my mum, everybody reports it's good stuff. | 13:10 |
| Azelphur | bashrc: I notice the G300 is supported, the G300 is VERY similar hardware wise to the Y300 | 13:11 |
| ali1234 | lots of the ports broke with the container flip | 13:11 |
| ali1234 | ie nearly everything on that list | 13:11 |
| Azelphur | I'm sure I've read that SOME G300 roms work on the Y300, so the build for the G300 MAY work | 13:11 |
| Azelphur | and if it doesn't, it's certainly not a huge jump to port it | 13:11 |
| bashrc | Would be nice to have an affordable UbuntuPhone | 13:12 |
| Azelphur | indeed it woul | 13:12 |
| Azelphur | d | 13:12 |
| Azelphur | bashrc: I'd be tempted to go ask on the G300 thread if it will work on the Y300 | 13:14 |
| Myrtti | bashrc: it's called "Nexus 4" from "Google Play" | 13:15 |
| * MartijnVdS wants Nexus 5 | 13:15 | |
| Myrtti | I wonder if I should order the Nexus 4 for my sister before they announce Nexus 5 | 13:15 |
| Azelphur | Myrtti: that's nowhere near £70 ;) | 13:15 |
| Azelphur | Myrtti: I wouldn't, you will probably be able to pick up a really good quality used nexus 4 a few days after the nexus 5 comes out | 13:15 |
| Myrtti | Azelphur: phones with hardware spec close to Nexus One from 2009 are close to 150€ retail over here... | 13:16 |
| Azelphur | hehe | 13:16 |
| Myrtti | so in that light £160 for a device that's straight from the package and has warranty left | 13:16 |
| Azelphur | I wouldn't get the 8GB, it's not really enough | 13:17 |
| Azelphur | 16 is squeeze enough | 13:17 |
| Azelphur | don't forget you have no expandable storage, no microsd, etc. | 13:17 |
| MartijnVdS | who needs that though | 13:17 |
| Myrtti | ... my sister still uses Nexus One. Vanilla, because I don't have a device to flash CM to test if it would work for her anymore | 13:17 |
| MartijnVdS | all I store on my phone are apps and podcasts | 13:17 |
| Myrtti | she doesn't even know what podcasts are | 13:18 |
| Azelphur | MartijnVdS: no podcasts in that space | 13:18 |
| Azelphur | the OS uses like 3-4GB for starts | 13:18 |
| Azelphur | and then by the time you've installed a few apps, maybe one game, that's your 8GB gone | 13:18 |
| MartijnVdS | Azelphur: I use 1G for podcasts | 13:18 |
| Myrtti | all she needs is a little bit of space for the apps and some music | 13:18 |
| Myrtti | but she can't even have any apps on her Nexus One as is | 13:18 |
| Azelphur | Myrtti: games on android are 1-2GB a pop | 13:18 |
| Myrtti | because it's run out of space | 13:18 |
| MartijnVdS | Azelphur: are/can be | 13:18 |
| Azelphur | you can get away with 8 if you're doing the bare essentials, but apart from that, not enough | 13:18 |
| Myrtti | she hasn't even updated Facebook for over a year | 13:18 |
| * Azelphur shrugs | 13:19 | |
| Myrtti | since the updates don't fit on her phone | 13:19 |
| Myrtti | so *anything* would be better than what she's stuck at the moment | 13:19 |
| Myrtti | well, almost anything | 13:19 |
| Azelphur | true | 13:19 |
| Azelphur | Myrtti: I'd get the Y300 instead of the Nexus 4 in that arena then, tbh | 13:19 |
| Azelphur | it has MUCH more space available, and much less wasted CPU/GPU power that you can't use because you have no space | 13:19 |
| Myrtti | Azelphur: I can't recommend non-Nexuses for her | 13:19 |
| Azelphur | no? | 13:20 |
| Myrtti | because I've not used anything else myself | 13:20 |
| Azelphur | ah | 13:20 |
| Myrtti | and I can't help her with non-Nexuses | 13:20 |
| Azelphur | it's not that much different, honestly, you can even flash it with AOSP | 13:20 |
| Azelphur | and then it pretty much is a nexus. | 13:20 |
| Myrtti | I'd give her my old Galaxy Nexus, but I need a spare phone for my travels | 13:20 |
| Azelphur | although I haven't tried AOSPing one yet, might do my friends soon | 13:20 |
| Azelphur | but yea, the hardware inside a nexus is gaming orientated, it makes no sense to buy it if you have no space to install games, honestly | 13:21 |
| Azelphur | you'd be just as fine on the Y300 with a decent dual core, and then you have a microSD card slot so can add a 64GB microSD and cram it with music, movies, etc. | 13:21 |
| Myrtti | my sister would be happy to just have Angry Birds and the bloody Candy game. | 13:21 |
| Myrtti | :-D | 13:21 |
| MartijnVdS | ooh there's a bloody version now? 8-) | 13:22 |
| Azelphur | hehe :) | 13:22 |
| Azelphur | Y300 would certainly run those, too | 13:22 |
| Azelphur | for a budget phone, it actually has quite a bit of grunt, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Axl3oF2ZmF4&t=8m50s | 13:23 |
| Myrtti | MartijnVdS: http://memegenerator.net/instance/35081118 | 13:23 |
| Myrtti | etc | 13:23 |
| Myrtti | Azelphur: is that the pink phone | 13:24 |
| Azelphur | Myrtti: no, it's the Y300 | 13:24 |
| Myrtti | mm | 13:24 |
| Azelphur | Myrtti: aka the £70 one. | 13:24 |

| Azelphur | Myrtti: and then you just flash it with http://www.modaco.com/topic/363879-rom-b194-fusionx-b04-huawei-y300-jb-41-080913/ and tada, "nexus" :P | 13:27 |
