Another Android phone problem
I've recently started having a problem when "waking up" the phone after it's been left. When I reactivate it, I'm finding numerous stacked error messages. White boxes with "name of app" Not responding and options to Close App, Wait or Send Feedback. I don't know if this is significant but I've noticed that the "front"…

Question about WhoIs Guard
I know very little about this sort of thing so I apologise if this is a stupid question. A couple of years ago I bought a domain name to use on a personal blog, but I no longer require it.

can you transfer apps (only) between androids?
just got a new phone and don't want my contacts transferred (as I foolishly synced my mail account and there are 100s of contacts I don't want and I can't find out how to get rid other than doing one at a time). Can I transfer my apps and the info on them or do I have to download each app and set it up again from scratch?

Budget Projector Screen
Bit of a long shot but don't suppose any of you have seen a 110" widescreen pull down projector screen at a budget price? I see RicherSounds have a 106" for £200 but would rather the full 110" or a touch above if I cannot get that exactly. Want to test run before buying the final solution and eBay seems to only have fixed…

ICloud
I recently bought some extra cloud storage from Apple, they really are mean with their initial allowances. Anyway I thought about clearing out images on both my iPad and iPhone but then read that if I do that they are also wiped from my cloud.
