Getting a Chromecast to run on hotel Wi-Fi is, to put it bluntly, a complete nightmare. Not only do some hotels restrict what you can do on their Wi-Fi connection, almost all of them require you to connect to the network via a digital form. Obviously, while the Chromecast can see the wireless network, with no actual system interface it won’t be able to navigate past the sign-up form to receive an active internet connection.Don’t worry too much, though. If you’re determined enough, you can circumvent this with a little bit more tech-savvy or a pocket-sized travel router.Connectify Hotspot is a great way to share your laptop’s Wi-Fi or wired internet connection as a hotspot location. While it is a paid-for app, there is a free version for basic usage such as this. It’s also a doddle to set up.A pocket-sized travel router could be the answer to your Chromecast streaming woes. However, the biggest downside is that they’re the fiddliest solution on our list. If it was up to me, I’d just suggest loading your phone or laptop up with video content and streaming it directly instead.

Connect your Chromecast to it via the Chromecast app on your Android or iOS device. Doing things this way around means that, when you connect your travel router to your hotel Wi-Fi, Chromecast will automatically connect
Once at your hotel, connect the pocket router to the hotel’s ethernet connection
If you need to go via a login screen, you can do so by connecting one of your devices to the router and navigating to the login page via a web browser.
Voila, your Chromecast and device should now be connected and be able to talk to one another with ease. Stream to your heart’s content!
I’ll start by laying my cards on the table. I really like the Jawbone UP3. The reason for this can be broken down into three parts. Firstly, I’m a bit of tart and weirdly self-conscious about drawing attention to my wrists. Secondly, (sticking with the same theme) its rivals look too similar to the tags criminals are given on parole. Thirdly, it does everything you/I need from an activity tracker – steps, sleep cycles and heart rate (sort of). We’ll discuss that in more depth later.

The UP3’s journey to market was interesting and amateur in equal measure. Originally, it was supposed to launch with a unique new feature – water resistance – making it ideal for swimmers. Jawbone was so set on this feature that it delayed the release of the device for eight months to get it right, until it finally admitted defeat and hit stores in June 2015 – with only a splashproof, not water-resistant, shell. Despite this calamitous setback, this understated wristband still has a lot to offer, building on the solid foundations of the UP2 and the UP Move, while adding a much-needed heart rate monitor (albeit one that only kicks in when you’re sleeping, but I’ll come to that later too).From an aesthetic point of view, it’s hard to fault the Jawbone’s understated charm, especially when compared with the rather ugly-looking competition (I’m looking at you, Fitbit Charge HR).

Wearables have to work hard on their looks. An ugly laptop is forgivable, but something you wear on your wrist is on show all the time, and it should be good looking. If you ask me, the smooth, plastic and rubber UP3 is just that.Its looks comes at a price, however. Once you win the battle with the fiddly, unreliable clasp and set the strap to an appropriate tightness, the UP3 goes to work on your skin. Wear the device for an hour and you’ll have several badges of honour to show for it, as the metal bioimpedance studs protruding from the inside of the wristband press firmly into your skin. Oddly, this isn’t an uncomfortable experience, but if you like your watches to be loose-fitting, it may take some getting used to.

Jawbone Up3 review: Charging is achieved by attaching the supplied magnetic USB cable to the underside of the Up3's body
There’s no LCD display on the outside of the band, so the UP3 can’t tell the time. Instead, you get three simple status LEDs: one each for the Sleep and Active modes (which can be activated by a combination of taps), and one for app notifications. The lack of a full-blown display is disappointing, but you do get decent battery life as compensation (see below).The UP3 was supposed to be the device that saw Jawbone catch up with its rivals. Sadly, it hasn’t quite done that – but it has gained significant ground. It’s easy to be impressed when reading through the specifications on the outside of the box, which include an accelerometer and sensors for heat flux, skin temperature, respiration and heart rate.

Jawbone Up3 review: The wristband has a collection of metal, bioimpedance studs on its inside, which press into your flesh
The thing is, information from these sensors aren’t readily accessible. As I mentioned, your heart rate – which is measured like everything else by the band’s bioimpedance sensors – is only taken while you sleep. The idea is that your resting heart rate is a clear indicator of your physical state. While this may be true, if I have a device that can measure my pulse, I’d like access to it on-demand, thank you very much, not when an app tells me I can.There’s still plenty this can tell you, though: my readings varied wildly from the mid-60s, after drinking alcohol, to the mid-40s when I’d stayed off the sauce. Credit where credit’s due – the UP3 knew when I’d had a few.

Jawbone Up3 review: Sleep and heartrate tracking
Ironically considering it’s an activity tracker, the device comes to life when the wearer goes to sleep. Its sleep analysis is fascinating. Prior to wearing the UP3, I thought sleeping was where I excelled as a human being. Jawbone suggests otherwise. I was convinced I was getting a solid eight hours of good sleep a night, but the UP3 and the Up app suggest this figure is closer to seven – the vast majority of which can be filed under the rubbish “light sleep” category.More recently, I’ve been averaging 4hrs 58mins of sleep. This is where the UP3 really excels. In no uncertain terms, it told me: “First things first. You’re only averaging 4hrs 58mins of sleep per night. Start working up to the NIH [US National Institutes of Health] recommendation of 7h-8h. Then, focus on consistent bed times.” And I thought I’d been doing well. Nevertheless, point taken: early night for me tonight.

The activity tracking is pretty straightforward. Its pedometer seems accurate (roughly matching the figures produced by the LG G4), but tracking your steps is pretty boring. It’s what the UP3 does during periods of exercise that really matters to me. I often wonder what sort of stats I post playing football, and thanks to the UP3, I now know.For those interested, during a regular five-a-side game I cover 3.02km at an average pace of 11.3 minutes per kilometre, taking 2,884 steps and burning 385 calories (exactly 1.5 Big Macs) in doing so. This is exactly the sort of information I want from an activity tracker.I’d love to elaborate on the performances of the respiration, temperature and heat-flux sensors, but they’re a mystery to me. Yes, they’re mentioned proudly on the packaging, but evidence of their presence is nowhere to be seen in the Up app. Perhaps more will be revealed in a future app update.

The Jawbone UP3 has a 38mAh battery built in, rechargeable via a small stubby cable that snaps magnetically onto the band’s underside. After a couple of hours of charging, Jawbone states you can expect this to last for a week, and it’s not wrong. When I first received the device, I impatiently put it straight on my wrist, whereupon the app told me I had “only” five days of power left. Lo and behold, five days later I received a notification telling me the UP3 was about to die.It’s hard not to like the Jawbone UP3. It’s the best-looking activity tracker out there, and it builds on its predecessor’s capabilities by adding a few additional features. But while the UP3 is a solid-enough fitness tracker, it’s expensive, and it’s currently a touch limited in what it can do. The heart-rate-tracking features, in particular, lag some way behind those found on the rival devices, such as the Fitbit Charge HR, and it’s disappointing that the promised waterproofing didn’t make it into the final product.Those limitations, coupled with a high price of £129, make the UP3 difficult to recommend right now; I only hope Jawbone will develop the software soon, so you can do more with the heart rate and other sensor data.

Latest news: The Samsung Galaxy S6 has now been superseded in the range by the newer Samsung Galaxy S7. The S7 is an improvement in most regards over the S6: it has a better camera, quicker performance, better battery life, and Samsung has also brought back storage expansion and water/dust resistance for this year's model.That doesn't mean the S6 is a bad phone that isn't worth considering, all of a sudden. You can still buy the Samsung Galaxy S6, and it remains a great phone. Performance is still great by any standard, the design is simply stunning and the camera is brilliant. And downward pressure on prices means it's far more reasonably priced than the S7 now. Two-year contracts are available from £24 per month, or you can buy the phone outright for £365 inc VAT, where the S7 costs around £550 SIM free.You can read our original Samsung Galaxy S6 review below, or click here to go to and read our Samsung Galaxy S7 review.

Samsung is no stranger to manufacturing smartphones jam-packed with the very latest in technology, and the Samsung Galaxy S6 is just that. One thing had eluded the Korean giant prior to the launch of its latest handset, however: the ability to design a phone that's as gorgeous as it is functional. For more on the latest Samsung Galaxy S6 news see Expert Reviews. The arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S6 sees the company finally break free of those shackles; and even halfway through 2016, the Samsung Galaxy S6 remains among the best smartphones you can buy anywhere, at any price, even if it has been eclipsed by the Samsung Galaxy S7 No two ways about it, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is a stunner, framed in cool-to-the-touch aluminium, and with a coloured Gorilla Glass 4 rear and front, it's a beautiful phone to behold. It's clad in Gorilla Glass 4 front and back, and the way it gleams and glistens in the light is quite entrancing. The S6 is available in "White Pearl", "Gold Platinum" and "Blue Topaz", but we think it looks best in "Black Sapphire", which you see pictured here.
