Ta for bumping - here's my progress report.

I have used my phone as often as I usually do, but haven't charged it via it's adapter since Thursday morning.

I got the charging kit on Thursday afternoon, and charged it all up and ready that evening.

My 5800 needed it's first charge on Saturday evening - it took a couple of hours max (not sure the exact amount as I left it alone to charge). When it was done, full power. Lovely.

This morning (Tuesday) at around 7am, I noticed it was looking a bit depleted (2 bars) so I gave it another half an hour on the charger. At the time of writing, it has full bars.

I shall carry on using the charger until it runs out, but this concludes the experiment - considering it hasn't been plugged into it's adapter since Thursday morning and it is now Tuesday afternoon, that's a full 'Glasto range' and my phone has full health.

SUCCESS.

:)

Ok, thanks folks, I'm ready to make the leap.

Bought one of those TekNet things a couple of weeks ago, whilst it's great for my sons iPod Touch (about 2 charges) it doesn't really work with the 3GS, gets to about 60% then just stops!

Mine arrived this morning and on charge now. Had a quick plug in to my HTC Desire and did start charging so at least I know it works with that.

However, has been on charge for about 3 hours now plugged in to USB. No instructions and can't find any on line for this model so does the red light go off when it's full?

Quick question (probably a dumb one).

It lists only the Sony K800i. Does this mean if i have a Sony C903 I can't use it?

Cheers man, I'll get it purchased. This 8.99 one is fine considering the review suggests its £30?!

my ted baker one doesnt work with my 3GS.

I emailed they guy I bought it from on ebay and he said he has had some similar reports. he was happy for me to try another one though and sent it out to me without me having to return the other. will report back if that works once I receive it.

My replacement one arrived and works fine, so he must have some duff stock.

Fair play to him for sending out the whole thing again, without asking for the faulty one back :)

Also seen this today, so ordered one to test out (if it ever gets sunny again!)

Seems like a bargain to me

This might be stating the bleeding obvious and all ready posted (too many pages to go through them all :P ) , but its just as cheap to buy a couple of spare phone batteries.... i just got two on amazon for a tenner. Three batteries should last the whole fest easy.... :rolleyes:

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
