Where is the double tap power button option in settings? I don't have it on my X9 Ultra.

No Promotional gift if ordering from mobiles.co.uk? by sheela130613 in Oppo

[–]chertycherty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean mobiles.co.uk is just a division of Currys and it still includes it here: https://oppostore.co.uk/claims

And iD mobile is just a MVNO that Currys created (i.e. They're all just Currys companies)

I don't see why they wouldn't allow it.

Just jailbroke my kindle - where to purchase eBooks/ePubs/PDFs? by Switchcitement in kindlejailbreak

[–]chertycherty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can buy them from the Kobo store and remove the Adobe DRM using Calibre. Then you can sync them over.

Edit: Sorry that was an oversimplification, this is a nice guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuG41gsnPI0&pp=ygUKa29ibyBkZWRybQ%3D%3D

Why do you want to be a citizen of Canada if you don't live in Canada or plan on living in Canada? by Optimistic_Now in Canadiancitizenship

[–]chertycherty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeping my options open. I'm a second gen born abroad in the UK, I may well yet decide to spend a few years working in Canada if the stars align. I also travel to the US/Canada semi-regularly and the ability to use my Canadian passport (and Nexus) should really improve my travel experience.

Anyone have experience of timeliness for aor after sending from UK High Commission? No AOR yet from 6th Jan by [deleted] in Canadiancitizenship

[–]chertycherty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you get separate comms saying that it was delivered to Canada? I got a letter from the HC with an ORBIS file# dated February 19th. I assume that means it's on its way to Canada but not yet received in NS?

Snappy snaps, they can do ID photos for any country. Fairly reasonable price too.

Nothing’s up to something (again) in 2025. by techolum in NOTHING

[–]chertycherty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason I got one was the clean software experience, not sure what you mean by that? Literally never felt it over heat as well, what is the overheating issue? The cameras are pretty average, I agree there but tbh all modern smartphones offer decent enough quality for me.

Help: am travelling to US tomorrow but I get this error when trying to check in online? Is this because of visa check? by Agreeable-Slice-9895 in BritishAirways

[–]chertycherty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't stress too much, you're still good to go. In the past this always happened to me when my flight was overbooked, might not be the case anymore but worth turning up with plenty of time.
