Have a look over in the Apps forum. EZ Money Manager was ok but expense but because of my intermittent use I want to be able to change the account balance and move on without having to sync past transactions, so I am looking around also. Looks like EZ is being replaced. After ready the reviews...

Looking for a way to access S4 browser bookmarks on the desktop? I think Airdroid I use to be able to but now it seems I have to signup for some account - I grow tired of how many vendors expect you to give them all your details by requiring an account.... Anyway I am simply trying to sync or...

On my old S2 when you set a wallpaper on the home screens the wallpaper used to scroll slightly from one side to the other when you went from Home page 1 across to home page 7 then jumped back when you scrolled back to one again (OS 4.0.4) On the S4 when I grab a 1920x1080 wallpaper from the...

Hi there I used to use BUMP as an application which transferred photos. I have not had the need or know that well what NFC can do. What are you using it for? How close does it have to be to use it?

I have an unbranded unlocked S4 i9505. I came from the S2, and on that version of touchwiz, you could change the icons on the Dock except for the home/apps. The Dock is row of 5 icons on the bottom of home screens, dialer, contacts, messages, now internet. On the S2 while in Apps screen...

I know there are several variations on the software loaded and battery performance is pretty good where so of the bloatware do not seem to be affecting battery life too much, but I cant fathom why some these are running; Anyone know how to stop them without going in kill hem every time...

This is an App question, but specific to the S4. I am looking for the best call recorder app for the S4. Basically sits running in the background and starts recording WAV files of the phone conversation whenever a call is started, both microphone and speaker channels. Sounds obvious but some...

Out of the box I am trying to reconcile the storage used on the S4. I understand the system takes up some but because the initial size is 9.23 GB out of 16GB phone. But of the 9.23 Gb avail out of the box, over 2 GB is used before any apps have loaded data on incl Maps, etc. There are no hidden...

Hi there, I am not sure about the rest of you but sometimes I pair a Bluetooth mouse and keybaord to my GS2 (or Tab 10.1) to use as a PC substitute esp. when travelling. Still works well under ICS but I notice the buttons have changed. On Gingerbread lift click is obviously select, scroll...

For those who are curious there is an Android ICS esater egg displayed the same way as there was in Gingerbread. However this one is animated with Androids flying accross the screen, rather than a static picture like Gingerbread. To access it hit Settings, About phone, Android version about 5...

Hi there, I'd like my device secure but I can't be bothered going through security everytime I turn it on. In ICS I have used Settings, Security, Password lock, with the subsequent setting that shows up "Automatically Lock" set to 30 min after Sleep. What I thought it would do is just turn...

Am I missing something since the new ICS update. I have searched on line and found descriptions of the new speed and features like b/w, quick semi-circular menu - but I am looking for something a little more fundamental! I can't find any of my bookmarks, or how to type in a url if needed. I...

I use manual brightness on my SGS2 because I find it overall too bright and sucks battery power for nothing. eg. In the office/at home 1% level is still bright enough, in fact you can't turn it down lower is an issue too. However I digress. I manually change it with the touch & Hold on the...

Thought it might be worth sharing this, because I could not find something similar when I searched. I have SGS2 running 2.3.6 GB, and wanted to upgrade to IceCreamSandwich, but here is what I wanted to check, and the results. Firstly it's not immediately obvious that it's ICS firmware. I...

I have a SGS2 and enjoying everything it can do. But I am thinking of also getting a Galaxy Tab 10.1. I notice there is no Galaxy Tab forum?! Anyway is there anyone out there with 2 android devices? What programs or apps need a separate or unique login. ie. do you need to set up another gmail...
