Fairly sure my battery is knackered. But also this phone has been very buggy ever since I got it. Turning itself on and off randomly and crashing/freezing. Also I'm with 3 and never get signal
To be fair most others with Galaxy's seem ok, I probably got a bad pick off the line

Ive noticed quite a few apps on droid seem to only display in portrait
Natwest app
Asda app
Few others
Ive also noted that the volume on android is low compared to apple, common issue so i see on the net, needing third party apps to try boost it, not great i must say, although the z2 does include noise cancelling headphone which help with this known issue and damn good they are too
Is there anyway to change this or are they not orientation aware

Agreed, if the app has only been written to work in portrait its an oversight of the developer. I rather have an app that has been developed to work properly in landscape to one which adapts and is poor.
Get your hearing tested then i guess Max volume on mine with Sennheiser earbuds is too loud for me.

I was using the sat nav on it and had it plugged in to the ciggarrete lighter to charge and It couldn't maintain the charge rate so went flat on charge
Due for an upgrade in a few months, will probably go for S4 - fairly sure they'll be cheap eneough. Not too fussed on having the latest greatest phone, as long as its not like my current S3 lol

IP67 doesn't mean its properly waterproofed, it just means it can withstand being dipped in 1M of water for short periods of time. So if you add pressure into the mix like swimming with it or spraying it with water, that's pushing its resistance. None of their marketing mentions it being fully waterproof only water resistant. I don't why you find it hard to distinguish between the two. Just look at the phone's design it only has a thin rubber gasket inside the casing to protect the battery and the charging point has a flimsy flap, water can get in there easily.

I have a HTC one M8 and the camera is sweet. I am a designer and I use the camera daily, if set up in the correct mode it takes unbelievable images. Hype that the camera is w*nk! it is not by any means. The HDR setting on the M8 takes as good a picture as my pocket Panasonic Lumix.
As for grainy images ? Meh...Not one image I have taken is grainy.
Load of ****!I will post a few pics to you if you like, proof is in the pudding.
I have had latest Nokia's, i-phones (which IMO are not worth shouting about) and this HTC makes them all seem... poor!

I have a Sony Xperia Z2 coming from an iPhone and I think its awesome, but I do have 2 iPads in our family so I don't lose touch with Apple! Apple if u want quality and Google if u want flexibility.

JDM qq then, you must have the sony issue then, when using Facebook app videos posted most always crash, does it on my phone z2 and tablet z2, seems it's specific to sony that issue.
As for camera the HTC was known to have one of the best, however sony does 20 meg pixels and uses special settings to get very vibrant colours, my dad's a pro photographer who pro dominantly uses NIKON, but has said that the sony processors and lens nowadays are some of the best there is. Thephone also records on 4k unsure of the others.
My vote would still,be HTC or Z2 , s5s are nice and the waterproof option that the s5 and z2 bring add an element of safety
Sonys do get some nice bloat ware too, I got 6 free films with mine

dont see much of difference between s4 and s5, waterproof gives me nothing I dont live under water
S3 design plus 720p a lot more visual ,power differences between s4 than s4 vs s5,
Wouldn't touch htc M8 looks like cheap plastic toy, probably my next phone will ne s6 or note4
No one mention nokia ,strange how You can kill a name in short time period
G3 is best at the moment but brand push me off

What seriously, HTC has better build quality than the Sammy's.
G3 is ok, but the screen isn't as good as the S5's.
