My partner and I both upgraded from S3's to S5's at the weekend. New phones came with Lollipop pre installed. (SM-G900F model in the UK). We are both experiencing problems with notifications. Sometimes texts and emails will arrive in their respective in boxes with no notification. There is no...

The stock music player on my S3 has stopped working properly. It continually jumps and stutters and crashes. I actually quite liked its functionality and layout but as there doesn't seem to be any way of un installing it and reinstalling to see if that fixes the issue, can anyone recommend a...

I'm on O2 in the UK. I've just had the 4.3 update pushed to me via the network. I'm not sure that I actually want to do this update. My phone is working fine as it is and I don't want all the hassle of doing a factory reset and all the backing up and restoring that goes with it. I've got a lot...

For some reason whenever I play music via spotify, either streaming or offline mode, my phone vibrates with the bass notes. This happens when I am using the headphones so its not the speaker in the phone causing it to happen. No other playback or streaming service causes this. Any ideas as to...

This question is for UK users. I've been downloading tv programmes from the BBC I Player to watch offline. However, for some reason I can only watch for about 20 mins before the player resets. I can pick up where I left off and so watch the entire programme . However it's a bit annoying as it...

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but as I'm using an S3 I'll start here. Why can I only upload and download individual files to and from Dropbox via the app on my phone, rather than complete folders as on my PC? Is this an S3 issue, an app limitation or an Android problem. Or...

I'm using the stock keyboard, but although it is set to "English (UK)" I have a $ symbol but no

A few weeks ago the media scanner on my Galaxy S stopped recognising music files on my 16GB external sd card, meaning that these files were no longer appearing in the stock music player or Winamp. They are however available if I access them directly from the card and open them with...

The stock music player has recently started to freeze after about an hours use. It just stops dead and and then force closes after a minute or so. Is there a way of reinstalling it to see if that fixes it. I've installed Poweramp as a possible alternative, but it's a bit haphazzard in its...

I came across a post on another forum which claims that the gingerbread update removes the Mobile Access Point functionality from the SGS. Is anyone yet in a position to confirm or deny this.

I've recently moved several apps to the SD card using the stock application manager. I've now discovered that if I turn the phone off, the shortcuts on my home screens to these apps disappear when I turn it back on. The apps themselves are fine, and the links can be manually restored, but...

For some reason I am unable to view thumbnails of photos when I connect my phone to my laptop via Kies. All I get is a list view of the photos on the phone, with the thumnail option greyed out. Obviously this is a bit of a problem if I am trying to select certain pictures to transfer from my...

I've had a browse around the forum but posts on this issue seem to be 6 or 7 months old and I was wondering if anything has changed. Most posts seem to sugest data consumption of several megabites for journeys of any significant distance. I used Google navigation for a journey of about 1 hour...

Anyone have any idea how much data I will use if I leave my google mail continuosly synching in the background. (Just the data required to sync, not any mail that is actuallly downloaded)

Is there any way to get the proximity sensor on the Galaxy to trigger call answering? Would be so much more useful than fumbling about for a button Also is there a way to re awaken the screen by touching it, rather than pressing the power button on the side?
