I have a Tilt hydrometer (I think Tilt 2 but unsure - bought 3/4 years ago, looks like the one still available on their website). It worked great until I needed to change the battery. I first bought a replacement Duracell CR123A, before discovering from other posts that they are too heavy. The Tilt wouldn't do anything when placed in water, and I couldn't get it to connect to the app at all.

I then bought an Energizer battery as I read these weighed less and worked. This time, the Tilt initially connected to the app, and gave me a mad reading of 1.860 in water, but after I calibrated it in the app, it disappeared. The only way to get it back showing in the app is to open it up and re-seat t

I am co-director of a Right To Manage company which recently took over the management of a building containing 2 leasehold flats. The landlord did not challenge our application to acquire the right to manage the building. According to section 88 of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002, our company is liable for reasonable costs incurred by the landlord during this process. The landlord has billed our company for £750 under section 88 for "dealing with the Right to Manage claim", but is refusing to specify what the costs incurred were, so we have no way of knowing whether they are "reasonable". Are we entitled to know what we are being charged for, or can the landlord simply put a num

Anyone know of anything fun happening after 11?

Hi, got a spare for tonight's show. Will transfer through Dice app (so you need an account there) for £20. The transfer feature closes at 5pm, so DM me if interested!

I had to send my OP6 off for a screen replacement. While it was away, my dog got the Karbon bumper case and chewed it up. Does anyone have an old official OP bumper case they're no longer using to sell for a modest sum? Preferably in Karbon or Sandstone? I'm in the UK. Thanks!

Some 6P spares and a Spigen slim case from a teardown I did. None of the good bits really, I'm afraid. Some time ago I broke the LCD digitiser attempting to change the battery. This is the new battery I bought; it's untested. Camera glass cover is also new. The silver casing is in pretty good condition - few scratches, mostly from my doomed battery replacement mission. There are a few pieces as pictured, including the cameras, antennae, etc. Let me know if you want anything. In the interest of paying it forward, if you're in the UK or Ireland I'll post for free. EU or further afield I might need you to contribute! See pics here: http://imgur.com/gallery/RM2LOE2

I live in the UK and am visiting the US next month. My girlfriend and I both want to upgrade our phones as it's a great opportunity to take advantage of the good £-$ exchange rate at present, plus we're visiting Oregon, so no sales tax. I think I've settled on the Essential, but am trying to figure out whether there's any way I can get a better deal than $500 (x2) on Amazon (NB we can receive deliveries while in the States). People speak of frequent Amazon sales, and I've been checking daily for a couple of weeks now, but haven't seen any drop of more than $10. Is it likely the Essential will go down by $50 or more in the next month or so, or did I miss the boat? Is there anywhere else (apar

Decided to pull the trigger and replace my battery. Accubattery health was 75% and it generally lasted OK, but shutdowns between 30-60% just got too much. Having done phone repairs before (but not on 6P) I thought it would be pretty straightforward. But while attempting to separate the unit from the aluminium backplate I broke the LCD digitiser. I thought I'd got my tools and playing card into the gap between the frame and the backplate. Turns out I somehow got them between the front glass and the LCD panel. The display was damaged along an edge and now shows nothing.

I feel like I was pretty unlucky, especially as I haven't read about this hazard anywhere else. I'm now trying to decide whe

Found 2 of my old iPods and both seem to be more or less working. Wondering which of these would be better to upgrade (new battery and SSD). Any particular pros or cons to be aware of with either device? Love the black and white screen of the 4G, and it has a smoother wheel, so would be tempted to try that one first...
