Picked up a 'bargain' HTC Desire C from Tesco a couple of weeks ago to bring the boss into the smartphone era. ''Free' and £7.50 a month on a 24m contract with 100 mins, ,000s of texts and 500GB data.
It's a bit slow, no front camera, and no LED for the back camera, but pretty good considering the pricing.
Seemed OK but she hardly uses it so it's hard to be sure - until this week when I made a couple of tweaks and had a play, and noticed the wifi wasn't working despite full signal and an internet connection evidenced on other devices.
Switching wifi off and on, airplane mode, phone off/on, hard reset all made no difference. Only 'cured' by rebooting the router. This has since happened repeatedly, whenever the phone has been unused for a few hours it refuses to load pages or refresh email until the router has been restarted.
Looking for a fix it seems that it's not an unknown problem. I'm hoping it's nothing to do with the router - a BT Voyager 2110, the only one I have that my Lenovo laptop likes. This is getting silly.
The phone is on 4.0.something IIRC, Ice Cream Sandwich if that means anything - she's gone off with it to Newmarket races today so I can't check. Any ideas or experiences?
(or a good tip I can text her)
