Had enough of S3...should I go 5 or 4s?

after flirting with android yet again i have decided to sell my s3 and go back to the iphone,i do this periodically i had an s2 and went back to the iphone 4 then i got the s3
I have decided to go back because I miss the smoothness and functionality of the iphone,I was underwhelmed and i am comparing this to a 4 not even a 4s!!!!!!.....my main problems with the s3 are it is too big(i knew it was big but thought I would get used to it)and the keyboard is shocking on it,I make so many mistakes its untrue,and even though its quick it does have that slightly jittery feel I only get with androids,scrolling is not impressive for a powerful phone at all...there are some great features on it but I dont use them at all its too much phone in every sense for me
if i get the 4s and save myself roughly 150-200 quid will i have that nagging doubt i should have got the 5...is it head and shoulders above a 4s,or is it basically a remodeled version of a similar phone.
one other point I am not a big app fan but one i use a lot is the natwest app on this same as on my old s2 it crashes all the time on the iphone4 not once did i ever have a problem

i just have a niggling doubt about spending the extra for features Ill never use
on a day to day basis using it as a phone,twitter,messages facebook and so on not for gaming or other intensive activities...is there a noticable difference between the 5 and the 4s,on paper there is but thats not the whole story as my time with the s3 would prove
im not joking when i say my old iphone 4 was nicer to use than the s3 for the basics scrolling through messages,phone calls and the like

  • Life after the Treo 680 - Ive had enough of Palm

    Ive had enough of Palm Im afraid.
    I started life with a Palm V, then Vx then Zire.
    Because my Palm Desktop has so much critical info on my customers I bought a Treo 680.
    Now its keyboard doesnt work, I cant even turn the bugger on - I have to reinsert the battery to get the screen to light. 
    The touch screen still works but thats useless cause you cant do anything - like make a phone call.
    So Ive had to put the Sim Card into an old I-mate Jasjam - hate that phone and of course no contact info at my finger tips.
    I bought the Treo 680 cause it sync'd all my Palm Desktop but after only 6 months its stuffed.
    Where should I go now?
    Can I export all my Palm Desktop contacts to Outlook?  I cringe at the thought of using Windows Mobile OS.
    Open to suggestions ...... thanks from down under.

    Install the free NVBackup to your 680.  This program is a real life-saver and has saved my butt many times!
    http://www.freewarepalm.com/utilities/nvbackup.shtml
    It will let you make an exact duplicate of your device on the card, can do it "automagically" if you desire!   I install and evaluate many new programs each week, and I have had to restore with NVBackup when some new program suddenly scrambles years of hard work and stability in my Palm Devices!     When you install the program, it will also install a copy of itself to your SD card.

  • I'm thinking about purchasing a 21.5" iMac.  The base model comes with 8GB of RAM, and the RAM is not user-upgradeable down the road.  Is 8GB enough memory or should I upgrade to 16GB?

    I'm thinking about getting a 21.5" iMac which comes with 8GB of RAM.  Unfortunately, the RAM is not user-upgradeable.  Do you think 8GB is enough memory, or should I upgrade to 16GB?  Besides internet surfing and email, I like to play flash games and listen to internet radio.  Occasionally, I might want to stream a movie.  I would greatly appreciate any advice you could give me. 

    For what you list, 8GB should be adequate. I ran with 4GB without any issue for over a year in my iMac i7 before I added RAM, primarily for running Win 7 via Bootcamp.
    The tasks that need a lot of RAM are typically video editing/production, heavy-duty photo manipulation (not iPhoto or PS Elements), and professional page layout like Adobe Creative Suite. If you think that, down the road, you may want to delve into those fileds with this computer, by all means get the extra RAM.
    I like to play flash games
    I didn't try a lot of Flash games while I still had 4GB RAM but those I tried ran without issue and without causing a non-trivial number of page-outs

  • HAD ENOUGH - NOT GETTING WHAT I WAS CONTRACTED FOR...

    I have unlimited broadband and calls.
    I have previously had free text messaging and therefore not been charged.
    Indeed it shows on previous bills as being free. I send about 40 texts a month.
    I noticed that I was being charged in October bill lfor text mesaaging and called BT - I have called BT numerously previously in the last 4 weeks and was told that it was an error and I would be refunded. This took about 3 hours on the phone and about as long online chatting. I thought that was it.
    I went online today to check my bill and found that I was still being charged and no refund.
    I have spent 2 hours+ on the phone, being told that :
    I needed to talk with repairs and was passed to them only to be told that it wasnt their deparment and was passed back to billing. Billing passed me onto someone else and so it went on only to be passed back to billing.
    Billing then tell me that even though I should get free texts I will have to pay 10p for each text!!!
    I told them that when I took out my contract it included 200 free texts. I was then told that my contract had changed and it no longer included free texts.
    I have anytime calls and unlimited broadband and at the time I took it out it included 200 free texts a month.
    I have got no were in 4 weeks each time I try I get passed from one person to another each telling me different things.
    Can someone please tell me how to sort this out? I have had enough.
    Do I get 200 free text message as per my contract or dont I?
    If my contract has been changed why wasnt I told?
    Who do I talk with that can help me sort thsi out?

  • I had enough of BS

    I had enough of BS that comes with Microsoft Visual Studio,
    Using Ultimate 2013 with update 4 and here is my experience after 40 days of trial usage:
    1. IT HANGS for no reason most of the time
    2. creating projects takes 20 minutes and mostly results in "Microsoft Visual Studio is not responding..."
    3. git source control takes about half a hour to push a commit or to do other kind of operations.
    4. repairing Visual Studio made it even worse
    5. "Microsoft Visual Studio is not responding..."
    6. "Microsoft Visual Studio need to restart..."
    7. and when it does restart it opens a solution on which I worked yesterday WTF??
    8. I lost my work because Microsoft Visual Studio needed to restart and didn't save my settings!!
    9. to much BLOATWARE!
    You are asking 13 000$ for this product?? WTF is wrong with you?
    There is not way I would give that amount of money for such bull cr*p crashing-non-responding product

    It sounds like your VS installation has issues. As this forum supports the C++ programming language, I suggest you ask about how to fix your VS 2013 in the Visual Studio Setup & Installation forum, here:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vssetup/threads
    A couple of observations: If you are a hobby programmer as your signature indicates, why not use the free VS 2013 Community Edition?
    http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9863609
    That edition eliminates the features designed for team design and development, "BLOATWARE" (your term), that you don't need.

  • While using Firefox, a site popped up and said it was Firefox scanning for viruses. It then said I had dangerous viruses and should download a security program. Is this for real? The site was update32.escmce.ce.ms

    While using Firefox, a site popped up and said it was Firefox scanning for viruses. It then said I had dangerous viruses and should download a security program. Is this for real? The site was update32.escmce.ce.ms I googled this site and it does not exist. Now, I am worried about the security on my computer.

    If you're running under Windows, I suggest you download and install Microsoft's Security Essentials. It protects against these types of attacks and tends to find stuff that other anti-virus scanners don't find. You're system could be infected because of that bogus, evil anti-virus scan. Install and run the software while in safe mode.

  • For video editing, is the new 13" MBP enough? Or should I go for 15"?

    For video editing, I will be using both Final Cut Pro 7, and Adobe CS5.
    Is the new 13" Macbook Pro enough? I'm asking both for the lower-end and higher-end 13". Or should I just go with the 15"?
    I'm just seeking for opinions from more experienced mac users, since this is my first transfer from Windows to Mac. Also, I'm taking into consideration in the price difference among these different models.
    Thank you very much

    It will render much faster on the new quad cores then any other MBP ever made. This new release is really a pretty major deal in the laptop world to my thinking. If I didn't just get a new iMac, I would be probably getting one. I don't do a lot of video and I use FCE not Pro so my need isn't as great, but I do a lot of photography and with several things open at once so the power matched with sufficient ram is pretty amazing. But is it absolutely a must? I had a friend who just until this year was a film music editor and he was using Pro Tools on a G4 Power Book though he had to start working around the machine limitations at the end of the day, but it is possible. Still for the money, the new machines are a great deal at pretty much the same price as what they are replacing. I know I'm advocating here, but I'm just a user not and employee:)

  • [K8N Neo2 Platinum] BSOD - have had enough of them!

    My first K8N Neo2 was a DAO - no current to the PCI slots. Got a new one as replacement, seemed to work fine. "Seemed", indeed.
    I've had plenty of sudden resets and BSODs.
    I've seen:
    STOP 0x000000FC (no error or driver named)
    STOP 0x000000EA in ATI2DVAG
    STOP 0x00000050, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA in win32k.sys (also saw some 0x00000050 without the PAGE_FAULT error or driver name)
    STOP 0x0000008E
    Just yesterday I had two BSODs, just when surfing the internet.
    System - Athlon 64 3200+ (boxed), Tagan 380W PSU with 22A on the +12V rail, ATi Radeon X800 Pro, Creative Labs Audigy 2ZS, Promise Ultra133TX2, 3x Maxtor 7200rpm HD, 2x GEiL 512mb PC3500 DDR-RAM (running at PC3200), Lite-On DVD+RW and Lite-On CD+RW.
    Please note that my videocard, PCI cards and harddrives worked perfectly in my previous system (Soltek SL-75FRN2-L, nForce2 Ultra400 chipset with a Enermax 350W PSU). I've already tried running without the PCI cards.
    Voltages very near to specs, according to Corecenter -- 3.33V on the +3.3V rail, 5.05V on the +5V rail and 11.96V on the +12V rail. That's at this specific moment, under high stress (due to encoding a DVD to XVid).
    Memtest86+ : 30 passes, no errors.
    3DMark 2005: one full benchmark pass, no errors or graphical artifacts.
    Seti@Home: can run for days without any problems.
    I have noticed reproducable problems: encoding a DVD to XVid with GordianKnot and encoding DVD9 to DVD5 with DVD Rebuilder. Both resulted in me waking up and finding the login screen of Windows XP (SP2, latest Athlon 64 CPU driver, latest drivers for everything else).
    What could be causing this?
    Currently I'm running the system with only one stick of RAM, to determine if it's some kind of dual-channel problem or if Memtest86+ somehow didn't find an error while actually something was wrong...
    I should note that somewhere in the past week my floppy drive controller must have died, it was working last week and not anymore at the moment. It's recognized by Windows, but no matter which floppydrive I attach it won't work. I've also tried swapping floppy drive cables and even the powerconnector. All of no avail.
    So what's most likely to be the problem? Faulty motherboard? Faulty PSU? Faulty videocard? Or perhaps even a faulty CPU?

    Quote from: WaltC on 21-February-05, 21:29:11
    My first (and only) K8N Neo2P has consistently worked well from the start--with the exception of some blue-screen STOP and MACHINE CHECK errors which I no longer have any problem with after doing a couple of things:
    (1) At first I couldn't even boot into WinXP (locked up every time with a MACHINE CHECK BSOD) unless I entered the bios and turned off UDMA in the IDE config and set everything connected to the onboard IDE to PIO4 manually.  After that, I could boot into Windows without error--but of course without UDMA which was unsatisfactory, too.
    (2) Next thing I did was to update the firmware in both my optical drives after being reminded about the need to look at that by Glenn, a moderator in this forum.  Well, that fixed the UDMA bootup problem I'd been having as all of my drives would correctly boot as UDMA devices with IDE bios config set to "auto," and I could at last correctly boot into WinXP without error.  But then I noticed another problem...
    (3)For some reason, about 60% of the time while booting the optical drive attached to IDE 1 as slave was not being detected by the bios as anything except "NONE", and so when Windows would detect it in software at boot it would automatically incorrectly configure it as a PIO4 drive.  Fixing that problem was easy once I'd guessed the cause--replacing the orange MSI IDE cable that came with the board with another UDMA IDE cable immediately and permanently solved the detection problem I'd been having with the slave IDE optical drive.
    Of course, now I wonder if the entire IDE configuration problems I'd had weren't caused by the faulty orange rounded MSI IDE cable that shipped with my motherboard--such that possibly all I need have done from the start was replace the IDE cable...  But, of course, it didn't hurt to  update my optical drive firmware anyway.
    Anyway--after these steps I've had no more trouble with the Neo2P in any capacity.  Your solution may not lie here, but I thought you should know about mine in case it might help you sort this out.
    Thanks for your reply. However, I haven't used MSI's cables at all. I used the ones from my previous system...
    Besides, I haven't had any issues with detection of the IDE-devices.
    Edit: Update - I'm currently running with only one DIMM (in slot 1) instead of two DIMMs (slot 1 and 2, also tried slot 3 and 4). An encode from DVD to XVid would cause a reset previously, now with only one DIMM the encode completed succesfully.
    By no means is this a 100% assurance that the RAM was causing the problems, but it sure looks like it. This night I'll try an encode from DVD9 to DVD5 using DVD Rebuilder, previously that wouldn't complete succesfully either. If it does now, I'm quite sure the RAM was causing the problems.

    You can only set up a limited number of new iCloud accounts per device. Is it possible that someone else created these accounts? Is it a second-hand device? In this case you will have to use an other device if you want to create a new iCloud account.

  • So angry and had enough!!!

    So let me start this story, I'm 1 bill behind with my BT bills for phone/bt infinity. I have always been granted an extension until the next bill. So in May i paid the February bill and asked for an extension of the May bill until August. The person I spoke to at BT said yes that's no problem and it would be updated on my account. So in the middle of June I get another phone call from BT saying why haven't I paid my May bill and i clearly told them I had asked for an extension in May? So the person on the phone says alright I'll add the extension which should of previously been done ok? Now tonight about 10 minutes ago I recieve a phone call from BT for a THIRD time saying why haven't I paid my May bill. And i clearly tell them again that I've asked for an extension to be applied TWICE already and his response was if I dont pay by Monday the 23rd all my services will be cut off. I have never been so angry and upset at this, I asked for an extension on my bill twice which was confirmed to have been done???? And now apparently it never was, surely I'm not in the wrong here and something needs to be done. Also the caller that has called me tonight was so rude......

    Hi Beddz

  • Audigy 2 Platinum, cracks, pops and had enough! Please he

    Hi everyone, OK, I know this has been documented before, but I cannot get a resolution. I have an Audigy 2 Platinum. Most importantly, I just built one huge PC out of two perfectly working PC's. The PC the Audigy 2 Platinum was in, was working fine. Now, in my new super duper pc that has everything, it is crackling and popping all over the place, and its really driving me mad. The only time it doesn't crack and pop is when playing a sound file back through Windows Media Player, but i use multi-tracking software, so that doesn't help!
    OK, I have two MARC 8 channel soundcards also in my new PC, but they do not conflict. Trust me, they don't. (I removed them and i still had the same fault) I think it is the onboard soundcard on the new Motherboard i have as I checked in MSCONFIG32 and sure enough, it shared the same IRQ. I cannot find how to disable this onboard soundcard in my BIOS which is ASUS Revision 05 (Award Medallion v6.0) Please help as it is driving me into oblivion!
    The other difference this PC has over my old one is that it has 4 SCSI divices, two Hard dri'ves (one removable) one 2.2gb ORB dri've, and standard CD dri've.
    Please help me!! I am going mad!

    Hi guys
    If your computer has any VIA chipset, and if your computer has any of the following problems, then you might need this driver.
    The computer stops ("freezes", "hangs", "locks up"), or makes unusual noises when playing sounds.
    The computer stops, or files are corrupted, when copying to or from an IDE DVD, CDROM, or CDRW dri've.
    Sounds played by the computer are distorted or have a "crackling" noise.
    The computer stops when playing 3D graphics or games, especially on an ATI Radeon series video card</LI>
    There is a patch for VIA chipset and the patch WORKS for me! Try them at - http://www.georgebreese.com/net/software/ Look under "PCI Latency" patch for VIA chipsets. If you do not have a VIA chipset, you could also try the Turbo patch mention at that website.
