I just got my G4 yesterday and am in the midst of that wonderful period of setting up my individual preferences. So far I must say that the G4 has been pretty straight forward and fairly painless. Thumbs up, LG! However, one thing I'm finding frustrating. I always have individual ringtones for...

I am currently a Samsung Galaxy S4 owner, but am looking seriously at moving over to the LG G4. I maintain my contacts and calendar schedules in Outlook on my pc as my principle working tool during the main part of my day. When I am happy that everything is up to date in Outlook on my pc I sync...

In recent months, since the last Kit Kat update I think, whenever I select mobile data on it does not activate. I always have to do a restart and the phone restarts with mobile data running. Anyone else experienced this?

Having accepted the firmware update to 4.3 Kies announced my S4 was no longer compatible and that I must download new version Kies 3. Fine. Unfortunately Kies 3 does not sync from Outlook. I and several of my work colleagues use our S4s as business tools, storing our contacts and calendar...

Upgraded my S2 from ICS to JB last night. Since then the pop up warning "Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped. Okay." keeps appearing and the phone is sort of frozen for the next ten to fifteen seconds. Anybody know what this is all about? Thanks, John

I just upgraded my S2 to Jelly Bean via Kies. Unlike the the last upgrade from GB to ICS, which was not a great difference, this move to JB is radical! It will really take a lot of getting used to. But the thing that is driving me nuts is the really annoying voice which announces...

Looking through my gallery I notice that some of the thumbnails appear blank (black). When I open a folder with some of these in I am able to scroll through the pictures, but when I come to one of these blanks (where there used to be a picture) nothing opens - just a blank screen. I can...

I'm currently experiencing a problem that rears its ugly head once every few months. My S2 is a 16 Gb model with a 32 Gb Micro SD card on board. Both these memory areas are approximately half full. My apps auto update and usually do so without any problem. Currently a couple of apps...

I thought I'd dip my toe into the water and try something new, so I installed Go Launcher (& Go Locker, & Go Weather) to try out some new looks and themes. So far I'm warming to it. One question, though, is how to take a screenshot of my work! On the old TW Launcher it was a case of...

Hi Guys, I own a Galaxy Tab 10.1, WiFi only. 90% of the time I use it at home via my home WiFi. However, sometimes when out and about I would like to be able to connect to the internet when there is no WiFi available, like in the office without connecting to the corporate WiFi. How do I...

I'm getting more and more tempted, on a daily basis, to upgrade from my current Galaxy S2 to the Galaxy S3. What is holding me back, being a non-techy person, is the thought of transfering all my current data, apps, contacts, gallery, etc., from one really excellent phone to a new, clearly...

I was talking to someone last night who is of the opinion that the Galaxy S3 will have a Micro SIM (like the iPhone 4/4S) rather than a standard SIM. Has anyone else heard this? I know of people who swap their SIMs from one phone to another, because they don't want to take their highly...

Although I live in Europe I bought my Galaxy Tab 10.1 while passing through Hong Kong. Also my GS2 phone. I always connect to, and update through Kies. Luckily my phone received its upgrade before everyone else at my home, as it too is on Hong Kong regional firmware. And very nice it is too...

Is anyone else getting SPAM notifications in their SGS2, and how do you stop them? I have started receiving notifications telling me I've won an iPad 2. These are in French, due to my location. I've also been receiving notifications in German that I have free games apps to download. Really...

Hi Guys, Non-techie here! I'm going to do some travelling and want to put some of my DVDs (tv shows, films, etc.) onto my Tab so I can watch while travelling. How do I go about this, and do I need any special apps?
