You're probably sorted by now and/or you've already tried this, but in case not Malwarebytes sorted that for me a few months ago.

We have one on display but some knob has locked it. Anyway, I'm fairly certain we've tried that. It wouldn't let us do it via the menu because we don't know the pin, I'll double check the hard reset whilst connecting it to a comp, but I'm sure when we last tried it it was still locked on the 'android lying down' screen.

If that doesn't work then Asus/Nexus support are your next port of call, that is what you pay for.

Anyone having or had trouble with sky recording. It's been doing it for a while now but getting worse. After doing a recording in the planner it says "part recorded" and when you try and watch it it freezes for a few seconds and you get the message "Recording interrupted by loss of signal". I have been on various sky forums and this is fault 7 and no one seems to get any joy from sky over this problem. Resets and new boxes don't resolve the problem. I can't be a###d to spend hours on the phone with them so if anyone has had this issue can you let us know how you got on.

Ring them up and tell them you're leaving for Virgin. they'll soon fix it

Living in Hull, Virgin ain't an option.

,Just like our land line Broadband we're stuck with Karoo,(no BT or Virgin to choose from) although there seems to be some wireless providers moving in but not sure how reliable they are.

Could it be your satellite dish? We had a problem a while ago where we had issues with recording and signal and it turned out the dish lost line of sight every now again because a tree had grown and when the wind blew the branches and leaves blocked the line of sight.

Have you checked to see if your house has fallen down again?

No trees to worry about, signal strong, records non HD channels ok, problem seems to have arose after the planner update.






House is still intact at the mo.

Can I just ask you techies a question about something re Leigh Centurions?

I want to try and set up a Man of The Match Vote, on the big screen at LSV. Is there a cheap way of doing this without subscription to an online site?

I was either thinking of running it free, or maybe something like 10p per text to raise a few quid for the club. Is there a simple way of doing this, so we can have on the screen 'to vote for your man of the match text MOM and a players name to 123456'

Then we can post the result up after 75 minutes and maybe if the idea takes of we can find a decent sponsor for it.

iTunes question. I have a playlist, I want the playlist to start playing about 5/6 mins after I leave the room. I don't have any way of physically going over and clicking play, so is there a way to set some sort of timer on a playlist? Or is there a way to set a playlist to play between certain times?

If you had an iPhone and were connected to same Wifi, you could, I think.. There's an app called 'remote' that lets you control iTunes

Intriguing!

I have an iPod Touch. That could potentially work but isn't ideal.

Create a blank mp3 file in Audacity for the length you need, set that as the first in the playlist and away you go.

I'm assuming I stumped you all!

Yup


It is possible but how cheap you can get it for I don't know

Going to New York in December for a short break, tempted to get myself the new IPad. Preferably the 32gb version with wifi.
But I'm not fully convinced in purchasing one yet as I don't know if I'll get the full use out of it. I have an IPhone 4s and I basically just see an IPad as a bigger version of the IPhone without been able to make calls. I've never been on an IPad so not sure the pros and cons of purchasing one.
Good for watching movies on the go I assume and searching the net, but apart from the apps (which I can obviously do on my IPhone) what else makes it worth while having?
Also what is the battery life like?

it's a nice bit of kit but far too pricey when compared to Android offerings you can also add more storage to Android tablets meaning more space for movies and stuff.

Maybe worth waiting a couple of weeks for the launch of the Microsoft Surface tablets?

I thought the same when i bought my iPad (only to be given a works issued one a week later, the swines!). i never thought I'd use it other than for work tasks but you really do find a lot of uses for it. Simple things like browsing the net whilst watching TV. Getting info you need quickly (and you'd be surprised how often that happens).

However its all you own personal opinion on how often you'd use it. I'd look at the 16GB version first though if you dont want to spend big. Then after that have a look at the other options such as the Nexus 7 is a great piece of kit. Maybe even the Amazon Kindle Fire would do the trick.

However if you do want an Apple product, maybe worthwhile holding out for a couple of months. There are now leaked photos of the next gen iPad which will be the iPad mini which is purported to be on the cards soon which leaked photos of components leaking onto the net

If you wanna wait a couple of weeks and buy the product you first saw a couple of weeks ago, aye.

I have no idea what you mean.
