Hi

I used the Download link here

http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDY4ODE=

I had problems with not being able to paste the second dload file to the root of the SD card, but I overcame that by pasting to another folder and dragging it across.

I have been toying with using Sillygoose's method of upgrading to ICS, but after my experience with the official OTA upgrade I will probably stick with GB.

Re my earlier question, do you have to download and install all the apps from the Play Store every time you up/downgrade the phone?

Many thanks. I am downloading the file now. What do you mean by the second dload file or will that become clear when I unzip the file?

I have never found a way of keeping the apps and always use the Play Store to download them every time I up/downgrade. Alright for free apps but a bit of a pain for the paid ones!

Perhaps Sillygoose or JethroUK might come along and tell us otherwise.

How do you move apps from 1 screen to another in ICS ?
When you hold your finger down on an app it moves to a home screen and I don't want that,I just want to keep similar apps together

Hi..I appreciate the camera faces the wrong way but has anyone used skype with the g300?

Not Skype, but I have used MobileVoip recently and it worked like a charm calling a landline. It was much clearer using it on the phone than using the laptop.

With calling a landline there was no need for the camera.

I was going to reinstall Opera Mini, but see that there is also an Opera for Mobile. What is the difference between the two or are they more or less the same?

The main difference is what goes on behind the user interface.

Opera Mini always uses Opera’s advanced server compression technology to compress web content before it gets to a device.The rendering engine is on Opera’s server.

Opera Mobile is a full Internet browser for mobile devices. The full web-rendering engine – Opera Presto – is run on the phone using the phones’ hardware to download and display webpages.

Which browser is best for me — Opera Mini or Opera Mobile?

Opera Mobile’s capabilities provide a higher fidelity browsing experience and is ideal when on Wi-Fi or unlimited wireless broadband. With Opera Mini, the assistance of servers make browsing lightning fast and also much cheaper if you are paying per megabyte. Many users use Opera Mobile when on Wi-Fi and Opera Mini when on the move.
