  • HTC one S signing in error asked to verify email?

    Every now and then since I got the phone, an error message kept popping up asking me to verify my email. Every time I click it it asks me to select an email provider, I select mine (hotmail) put in my details and then it says its already registered. Can't do anything else and the message doesn't go away.

    Also now, the error message is constant since a software update. Does anyone have a solution because its really annoying?

    Thanks

  • Cable Extensions Do's and Don'ts?

    We've moved into a rented house, and in the bedroom, there is only 1 electrical socket, its a double socket with 2 plugs. At the moment we are running a multi plug extension from one of the plugs which has the tv wii and hair straighteners plugged into it, from the other one I have another multi plug extension that is across the floor to plug in the bedside lamp and phone chargers.

    I was wondering if i could run a 5m single plug extension from the mains socket, under the carpet or around the boarder then putting in a 2 way multi adapter or another multi plug extension?

    Can i do this or is it unsafe? Anyone with any advice or possible solutions other than getting another socket put in, which i'm not sure i'm allowed to do?

  • Im trying to clear the cache on a samsung galaxy s2?

    I'm getting the Insufficient storage message and read to try and clear cache, iv followed the instructions below:

    Turn off phone

    Remove the battery and reinsert.

    Hold down Volume UP and Volume Down keys

    Press and hold the power button while still holding down to BOTH volume keys.

    As soon as you see the Samsung logo, release all keys/buttons.

    Press on the Volume Down to scroll down to the delete all cache data.

    Press home to select.

    Wait for a few minutes for the phone to clear the data.

    Then press home to select reboot system now.

    Wait for your phone to reboot.

    But can't get passed step 5. I press and hold both volume keys and the power key, tried releasing when seeing " Samsung Galaxy S II" and just "Samsung" but the screen to select clear cache just doesn't show. The most iv managed is to boot it up in safe mode.

    I can't download anything to clear the cache because it just says not enough storage. All my pictures, texts and apps iv downloaded are all on my SD card, pretty much the ones that came with the phone, are on the phone.

    Can anyone help?

  • is there a way to change the update schedule on my virgin TiVo box?

    Last night we were watching a film then 20 mins towards the end, the box decided to update, we had no option to cancel or postpone, it just started doing it. It took that long we missed the end of the film and because the box restarted, we couldn't rewind either.

  • Using an indoor amplified aerial but can't get freeview?

    We've just moved house, less than a mile down the road but we can't get a tv signal in the new house. We used an amplified aerial in our old house and got a perfect signal, we've had bits and bobs of signal but it would break up, now its completely gone. We bought a new aerial in case the old one was broken or damaged but no luck.

    Anyone got any ideas that can help? We can't get a roof aerial point put in as its a rented house, so can't really drill through the walls.

  • cat keeps biting my dogs face?

    its more like chewing. She'll just walk up to her and rub herself on the dogs face then start chewing her cheek. Thankfully, the dog just sits there, but im worried one day the cat will hurt her and end up losing her head.

  • Laptop doesn't automatically connect to wifi after hibernation 8.1?

    My windows 8 laptop is set to automatically connect to my home wifi, but after hibernation, i have to connect manually, anyone know why this is and how i can fix it?

    Also, since the update to 8.1, every time i wake it from hibernation i get a display drive error message also, saying it encountered a problem and had to be restored. I've tried checking for updates and rolling back the driver but it says no new or earlier drivers have been found?

    Is this something we have to live with until the next update or is there a fix?

  • Has there been a bad batch of ps3 discs?

    For Christmas I was given GTA V and call of duty ghost, both discs give me the unable to read disc error and won't load at all. Other games work fine so its not my ps3.

    A couple of months ago I got kingdom hearts 1.5 and had to return it as this had the error. Is there a bad batch of discs or something. Cos I seem to be very unlucky.

  • Which Account Is Best?

    Hi, me and my partner are going to start saving for a mortgage deposit in the new year. I'm looking for an account to do this. I was preferably looking for one we could transfer money into, say via direct debit, every month but not able to make any withdrawals for at least a year?

    If not, any ideas and suggestions would be grateful. We're intending to deposit £400 a month all together.

  • Games Posting To News Feed When Not Playing?

    I noticed today that games were posting to the news feed on facebook when I'm not even playing, one game posted that I had completed 2 levels and another one said I'd just completed level 1 when I'm way past that on it. Is this something they do randomly or has my account been hacked?

  • Tripod cat keeps losing her balance?

    Its been 3 weeks now since my cat unfortunately became I tripod, losing her back left leg. She's been progressing really well, using her little tray fine and even started climbing onto the windows and chairs.

    The last couple of days however, she's had some balance problems, sometimes when she tries to walk, her back end just goes in a circle as she's trying to move which is causing her to get annoyed and meow. Is their anything we can do to help or should we leave her to figure it out herself or is it back to the vets?
