I have my desktop open on my email, as well as my galaxy nexus and new s3 next to each other. As soon as an email arrived, the desktop showed, and seemingly instantly, the galaxy nexus started shining a notification about a new email. However it took a good couple minutes before the s3 clued in...

Is there any sort of simple way to transfer background files from one phone to another? Here is my dilemma: my current phone has access to my Irish bank account. The app doesn't appear where I live now (UK), which I know is easily solved, but then I run into another issue if I set it up on my...

I am using Android File Transfer to move my Galaxy Nexus' files onto my computer (mac) and then hopefully transfer those to my new S3. No issues at all having it recognise my Nexus but it refuses to find the S3. The S3 knows it is connected via USB though as it shows the little alert in the...

I may be getting a S3 soon, and was hoping to do the following two things (in order of priority): 1. Make it work with Orange UK (only Vodafone at the moment). 2. Put on a 'clean' Jelly Bean set up instead of the Samsung version that it will have. How hard would these two be to do? I've...

I've been experiencing this the last couple days with my phone. If I go into the maps, it says I am in a particular spot (the same spot every time - where I was two weeks ago) in the city centre of Edinburgh, which is about 3.5 hours away. If I wait long enough, it then moves to a place...

So a few threads below you will see that my phone went kaboom. I've finally gotten it back from the repair people, and now am back in with my account! Yay! I've downloaded stuff from the market app on the phone, but the market site STILL does not recognise me as having any devices - two...

This just started happening randomly and I can't figure out how to solve it... it has rendered my phone unusable. I've read some stuff about this on the forums and none of the solutions have worked. I didn't drop or anything, it just started happening - got the first crash and now it just keeps...

So yesterday I used a different sim card than usual, while I was abroad... I put my usual one back in today when I came back home. I got a voicemail and all of the sudden the phone didn't know how to get to my voicemail. I found out the number manually online, and entered it. All fine. But...

I thought this was only for the US but it downloaded onto my phone and is now how my phone plays music. I can't figure out how to make a song a ringtone on this though. Before I would just hold it and an option would come up, but now I don't see it anywhere. Any help? Thanks!

I have a contact shortcut on my home screen and when I click on the button to email him, for example, two options come up, and if I wish, I can ask the system to remember the chosen setting. I did this a while back for his phone number, so that it will call his mobile straight away. However...

...when writing a text. Yesterday this started not working...when you press these and hold, the screen goes "grey" as it should as if the menu were to be there (and if you move your finger you are able to select different characters and smiley faces as if it were there!) but it doesn't...

So I found out today that Android cannot do proxies on wifi. So I started reading about the solutions and saw that in a rooted phone there are apps that will let you do this. My phone is a unlocked Nexus S with the latest Android. Is there anyway at all to get this to work (with apps or...

Right now it just shows as the default icon next to "me" in texts. How do I set a photo for myself? (Do I just add myself as a contact -- will it then still show as "Me" instead of my name)? Thanks!

Sorry if this has already been addressed, but... Is there anyway to change the notification sound of texts compared to notifications of other things (FB, email, etc.)? Would be really handy. Thanks!

So I looove this feature...it seems to work really well! However half the time after I've said something and it starts processing, I then just get "Server Error". Do you guys have the same thing happen to you?
