How do I make it so that my Galaxy Note's headset volume buttons work as backward/forward buttons, like on all other phones?

Does anyone here use GiffGaff? I'm wondering if their £10 for unlimited text and data PAYG is legit.

[QUOTE=iCole;33830770] also, another AOSP ICS ROM for the SGS2, this time with releasing alphas on the go [B](mic in calls still not working,[/B] although the guy claims to be close to getting it to work properly[B])[/B] [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402431[/url][/QUOTE] my cock is massively erect

I'd go for giffgaff but I got my S2 with Virgin Mobile so I'm SOL, unless I give my SIM card to someone else and buy a giffgaff one

[QUOTE=Jacko2007;33828395]On the subject of UK speeds, I'm running Vodafone UK Nexus S (ICS) and on my standard 3G connection (no HSDPA) I'm getting 5.5mbps down and 2.2mbps up. I need to go to other rooms to test HSDPA and that's a lot of effort.[/QUOTE] Speaking of this, is there any way to get ICS to show the H symbol when connected to HSDPA? I know about Phone Status, but it's a bit of a pain to have to zip in there every time I want to check if I'm on HSDPA or UMTS.

I am gonna use o2 on my phone, pay and go, it has infinite internet with it, is this a bad choice? My mom really wants me to use o2, but I want to use giffgaff.

[QUOTE=C:\;33838343]I'm not acquainted in the activation process. In short, when I get sim, wat do?[/QUOTE] If they're all registered to the same address/name, they may have a clause to stop that. Or if they're activated on the same IMEI (I think). I guess just read the T&Cs.

Can I transfer my old number over?[/QUOTE] Yeah definitely, just ring o2 up and ask for your PAC code (say you're going to giffgaff and they'll let you off easier as they own them) and submit a port-in request on giffgaff. Can take a couple days to do and you'll get some cell downtime on the day of your choosing. Also when you get your SIM it'll explain what to do, but basically you just go to the giffgaff website, type the SIM code in, make your first purchase, and you're golden.
