Hi, Just collected my ride & was given a very basic HU, Pioneer AVH-X1750DVD. Any bro out there knows how to Mirrorlink Android (say S4, S5 etc.) to this HU? TIA

Brothers and sisters, was wondering what mobile phone other than Nokia Symbian os has the numeric numberpad T9 for input? Does ios, android or wp have it? Me very used to fingering between the 9 numbers and don't fancy a full keyboard... But Nokia is kind of lacking and slow in browser etc... So wondering what are my options...

Anyone here can recommend a good twin dect cordless phone for me? Looked around and found so many, am really spoil for choices but kind of lost also, lol. My hall is about 25m apart, need one with good reception, any suggestions welcome. Thank you.

PHOTOS File photo: A traffic police officer on patrol (photo: Francine Lim, channelnewsasia.com) Enlarge Caption SINGAPORE: The Traffic Police received about 2,600 appeals for traffic-related offences each month in 2013, while the Land Transport Authority (LTA) received about 7,900 appeals for illegal parking offences over the same period. In a written reply to Parliamentary questions posed by MP for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC Hri Kumar, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs Teo Chee Hean did not give figures on the number of successful appeals, but said that both the Traffic Police and LTA will not accede to appeals for charges to be cancelled or waived unless there are "very strong extenuating factors". DPM Teo also stressed that road users should be responsible and abide by traffic rules at all times, and that violations will be dealt with in accordance with the law. Parliament passes amendments to Road Traffic Act Tougher rules on the use of mobile devices have been passed, but some Members of Parliament called for even stricter laws. SINGAPORE: Amendments to the Road Traffic Act were passed in Parliament on Monday (Sep 8), tightening rules on the use of mobile phones while driving. But a motorist will still be able to use his mobile device if it is mounted on a hands-free holder, and this prompted several Members of Parliament (MPs) to suggest expanding the scope of the Act. Tougher rules on the use of mobile phones while driving make it illegal to not just call someone, but also to surf the internet, play games or check emails with a mobile device, including tablets. However, these rules only apply if the device is held in one hand while the vehicle is in motion, prompting several MPs to call for tougher laws. Mr Hri Kumar, MP for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC, said: “Everyone knows that using phones while driving is not safe, so we comfort ourselves by saying that we can use hands-free devices. But there are many studies which claim that using hands-free devices is equally dangerous as using handheld devices. This is because the real distraction is the phone conversation, and it matters less that you have both hands on the wheel." Non-Constituency MP Gerald Giam added: “According to a study published in the British Medical Journal, a driver is 4.9 times more likely to get into an accident when using a mobile phone while driving. Even using a hands-free accessory is not much safer - it has been found to increase the risk (of an accident) by 3.8 times. “At a minimum, we should have a regulatory regime, where the most risky and distracting activities are clearly banned. While at the same time, the authorities constantly remind drivers through public education of the dangers of using their mobile phones while on the road.” TOUGHER RULES ON FOREIGN DRIVING LICENCES Rules on the use of foreign licences have also been toughened. Currently, people with foreign driving licences can drive for up to 12 months from the day they enter Singapore. From January 2016, foreigners will only be able to drive for six months from the day their work passes were issued. In addition, the new rules only apply to those who drive in the course of their work. S-Pass and Work Permit holders who wish to convert their foreign licences to a Class 3 licence will also need to take a practical driving test. They must also pass the basic theory test. Alternatively, they may choose to convert their licences to a Class 3C licence from June next year. If they do so, they need to pass only the basic theory test. OTHER CHANGES TO THE ROAD TRAFFIC ACT Those who drive light goods vehicles and small buses will be required to take the Practical Driving Test when renewing their licences. They will then be issued with a full Class 3 licence. Another change is in regard to a rule which requires vehicle owners to give the Traffic Police details of a traffic offence within seven days of receiving notice. Should the vehicle owner not comply, he would then be charged with failing to furnish the information. Under the proposed changes, the time for replying to a traffic infringement notice will be extended to 14 days - up from the current seven. But, should the vehicle owner still fail to do so within the time given, he will be presumed to have committed the offence himself, and will be charged accordingly. This is on top of charges for failing to furnish information. However, if the vehicle owner is able to prove that he was not driving the vehicle at the time of the offence, with documents showing he was overseas, for example, he may use it as evidence.

Hi, I was trying to look for a suitable landline phone for my starhub $2 homeline. Since everyone is using a smartphone now, I thought this may be suitable, if available. Touchscreen, large screen, apps (linked to home wifi), etc. Does anyone know if there is such a device? Cheers!

And so I came across a friend's post on Facebook this morning about how he managed to retrieve his mum's mobile phone from someone who took it (whether she misplaced it or what is not the main point, the main point is that he managed to get it back from the person who took it and I'm sure not many of us are that lucky). I personally had my own mobile phone, a iPhone 3GS stolen from me at Parkway Parade many years back. I made a police report, had CCTV footage to back me up but nothing was done. And oh, it was a job done by two guys from China. Ok back to the main topic. I'm sharing it here for awareness as many of us know we can track our phone but have no idea what app to use or how to go about doing it and since he is unable to start a new thread as he hasn't clocked 25 posts, I'll do it for him. Here is his encounter. @y2kjericho86 if you are able to reply, do share with us, or anyone knows of other apps that can help, please share with us too.

Anyone recieved calls with no number displayed recently? For iphone it says "No Caller ID", its been years since i recieved a call with no number displayed, event those scam i heard of is from weird numbers like 3 digit numbers. i recieved this call for about 5 times since last week. scared to answer. Anyone else got kena?

All smart phones have utilties for you to track its locations. Letting you possible to find it back. OK......'possible' only That include Iphones,Android phones,Windowphones.......not sure abt Blackburry though. I know for Android phone even after you lost your phone,you can download a tracking utility called 'Plan B' into the phone fr your desktop. That will track it down. But of cos the theive can delete n u have to download many times. Even restarted phone can download tracking fr you desktop. So....have you ever done this?

Now you can get police to do this for you?? since when they bother to do such thing?

anyone with the above can help me try this ? I would like to know if for a dual sim smart phone, can we I put in my own SG card (for roaming) and then for the second card, put in a foreign data sim card and set it to be a hotspot card ? meaning my SG card will tap on the foreign data-sim for data access ? when I am overseas ? all in the same phone ? so i do not have to carry two phones ? (coz now I will use my Samsung Note with a foreign datasim and set it to be a hotspot, and then use my Xperia Z with SG card inside for roaming and access the wifi of the Note.)

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-essex-27283885 A stolen mobile phone has emailed a "selfie" of a mystery man back to its owner. Essex Police said they were now keen to talk to the man in the photo. The HTC phone was stolen from an unidentified student's coat pocket while he was walking in Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, on Thursday evening. The phone was fitted with a security device which automatically took a photo when the wrong PIN code was entered into the device. A police spokesman said the man holding the phone had probably inadvertently taken the "selfie" when an incorrect security code was entered several times. The student, whose email account was linked to the security device, then contacted police.

While in Taipei, I was at a book store close to midnight, flipping some car magazines and saw this concept. Once you dock the phone, your phone gets charged and you can use the in dash touch screen to make phone calls, play youtube songs, use google maps etc. Is this a production reality on any car yet?

I am spoilt for choices. Which one will you guys get?
