Then is your phone chock a block with apps and bloat so that it barely has any breathing room.? My old S2 has no problems with speed in a good signal area.
Not really.
Quite a big difference between the original s phones and the mini versions I've found though.
That is absolutely true. A Samsung S3 is still perfectly usable for most things. An S3 Mini... hmm. They are down on spec.
I was fixing a battered S4 the other day. It was like a little Rolls-Royce of a phone, apart from the scratches on it. 4G and fast. Bear in mind that an S4 is something like 4 years obsolete. If someone made a case for not bothering to buy anything newer, in terms of usable spec, I'd find it hard to argue with them. When I came back to my gleaming, almost unmarked S2, it was like using an old banger.
Speaking of the app/website, is it only me who can't find any of the emojis? I can only use the ones I remember
No I'm the same. I use
which were from the old 606.Then a couple from here like

That's about the limit for me!

As far as I can remember from my last use of the Not606 app, there are no extended emojis to access. You only get them going the old fashioned [better] way.No I'm the same. I use

I hardly ever use apps, and never dowoad them. I'm a bit of a technophobe so I may have this wrong, but aren't they just shortcuts to a site? In which case why bother?
Me too, but talk to Kids These Days and they only use apps and never use browsers. Weird.
By the way, as we're forum troubleshooting, anyone else get this when they try to embed a tweet/video? The whole thing doesn't load, but when I'm on my phone (not app) it does.

On the surface, Apps can appear to be quicker. But in reality they're not. They are less flexible, they can share and link far less flexibly, and crucially they are intrusive - you user can't block the data they send called 'analytics'. That's the stuff that gets them to aim adverts at you based on your clicks. And that's just for starters. Now, I'm not adverse to some companies getting data, but I'd like to be in charge of who gets what, thank you. So, in line with Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the free and essentially private WWW, I prefer to keep my wanderings to myself, if I want. Which means a browser, with the necessary blockers, most of the time, not an app. They still get plenty of data out of me.
Where my phone's pretty **** and slow on browser, it can take a couple of minutes to load a page... app is instant.
I finally found my egg following a massive hunt.
It was stashed under some porno mags in a rabbit warren. Dirty bunny.
Portsmouth really smells today.

Technically that's still more on topic than most of this thread.
