Hi all, I hope this forum is still frequently visited so that somebody can help me with my queries! :) A friend of mine has an HTC Wildfire S phone, which he got frustrated with using due to the very limited space for apps on the phone. I explained that rooting it would give options for...

I noticed that when the JB 4.1.2 update came along, the stock Backup and Restore app could not backup apps and their data anymore. When I click the drop down arrow next to apps, eveything is greyed out and it reads "Could not be backed up:" This is annoying as there are some apps I wish to...

I don't use the bundled app from Sony "Music Unlimited" and I can't uninstall it, but it's suddenly started starting up with my phone. I'm wondering if it can be disabled as it's really annoying. Any ideas?

I have been trying to update my girlfriends Galaxy S2 to ICS, which has been available for ages, she's just never got around to updating. I tried it the other day through Kies, and all seemed to be going well until the stage when it says "Downloading" on the phone, along with the green...

I just upgraded to this phone recently. Is there any way to remove the junk apps I do not want (Google+ for a start!) without rooting? Being it's brand new I don't want to mess about with rooting yet, unless there is a really simple way to do it like there was on my Xperia X10 (Flashtool) Any...

Hi, hoping someone can help. My girlfriend's S2 phone has been fine until yesterday when she said it was very hot. Now it doesn't stay on. When starting the phone on battery power, all of the start up screens function normally, but then it will power straight off after the last splash screen...

Firstly I don't have one of these phones but my girlfriend does. She got it last May and there have never ever been any updates available in the "About Phone > Check for updates" screen, but then I read the other day that apparently you must use Kies to update the software, and I looked on...

Hi all, each time I start my phone, in the last few days I've noticed an error comes up in one of the small black notification boxes that appears towards the bottom of the screen. Startup is normal other than this but the error reads: "Could not download message. Please try again later" I...

Hi all, Has anybody else installed the latest update to Facebook from the market (version 1.8)? On the whole I am pleased with the update, looks like they are finally taking the app seriously (although Push notifications STILL don't work - why is this?! iPhone users get notified if somebody...

I've got a new problem with my x10 (they seem to be never ending!) The phone's been fine for months, and was fine last night when I made a call. This morning I got up and made a call and the screen went off although I could still hear the dial tone. Weird, I thought. And when the call...

Hi, Ever since I updated my x10 to Gingerbread 2.3 about 3 months ago, my WiFi has been appalling. When it works, it's great. Trouble is, most of the time it doesn't! What happens is it will connect, but then for some inexplicable reason (I think maybe when the Wifi Signal reaches its...

When I upgraded my phone to stock 2.3 from SE in August, I was amazed at what an impressive update it was - it was like having a brand new phone and was so much better to use. However in recent weeks I've noticed the phone really begin to slow down in some areas. Swiping across my home...

I'm hoping somebody can help with a questions I have after the 2.3 update - on the whole I am very impressed with the update - the phone is so much more responsive and doesn't freeze up anywhere near as much, applications install so quickly, and it just looks a lot better. But I'm a bit...

Hi, hoping someone can help. Not sure if I am missing something, but I was sure that Facebook for Android supported Push notifications as long as you were on Android 2.2 or later? Well my girlfriend has just got the new Samsung Galaxy S 2 with 2.3.3 and no notifications are coming through. Is...

I noticed that after the latest update (to introduce dual touch) that the media player had also updated and that there were now more options for automatically obtaining album art/details (including being able to use WIFI or your network, not just WIFI as before) However when I manually go on...
