Possibly a stupid question, but have you possibly turned off the Auto rotation in the drag down menu at the top of the screen?

Checked that first, cheers

can anyone advise me on which phone to get. theres a deal on quidco at the mo for a SE experia arc and a motorola atrix. 15.32 a month 100 mins 500mb net and unlimited texts. I really know nothing about phones (i only have a tocco lite) and any advice would be helpfull... cheers

Can anyone tell me what the 3g coverage and quality is like on the Three network in the Wharfedale and Aireborough area's?

I've looked on the Three website at there coverage maps, but I'm ideally looking for real world accounts from people living in those area's of it's quality and reach.

Thnx.

My partner is thinking of getting a refurbished i phone 3 on 02,The phone is free but comes with a 2 year contract at £16.50 a month.
Opinions would be appreciated as neither of us are well up on advances on in the mobile phone world.

I'd be avoiding a 2 year contract on a refurb phone, it is old technology now, in two years time it will be ancient.

Ta for your reply B G

Phone contract up for renewal couple months time, I know this as i get at least 1-2 calls everyday from cpw/orange wanting me to upgrade. Not sure which are genuine as they don't get past asking for my details. Very annoying so far!

I agree. I would advise that you don't ever upgrade or buy a phone deal on an incoming call.

Mobile phone resellers will often say they are calling from the network when they are not. They will receive commission from the network for connecting you, but you are on dangerous ground when it comes to things like receiving the phone or gifts they promise.

If you know you are due an upgrade and want one, just ring them.

I had that an old phone but rather than upgrading the model, I got them to knock a tenner off my bill each month in return for keeping my old phone.

any thoughts on HTC sensation, or an Xperia Ray? two reccomendations from the nice lady at carphone warhouse,

I like the HTC better, don't like the Xperia range at all, their software tweaks are very annoying and aren't very nice to use (Timescape and mediascape etc).

I'bve got a 5800 nokia, which is up in january, as daft as it sounds i'm anti iPhone, and i've been looking round for similar to what i use now, (mainly music and taking photos as well as calling) my old man has got one of the lower end HTC handsets and i've not been bowled over with the Android system on there, but from the ones i've looked at in the carphone whorehouse, the upper end seems to be more sensible and responsive,

when i mentioned music and photos thats when the Ray was suggested.

am i right in saying the sensation is top of the range HTC, any other models slightly less pricey or in the upper echelons.

I've got the sensation and as my first proper smartphone, I love it. Battery life isn't fantastic and I haven't worked out how to stop it trying to connect to any open wifi signal (thereby stopping the network connection), but the camera is good, Android apps I've got are good, genrerally can't fault it.
