I would much prefer if the browser was empty and did not load up the previous session/website/tabs when I open it, it annoys me when I go to show someone something or they want me to look something up and my previous browsing appears. Haven't had a bad run in yet but it will probably happen...

I am using this wallpaper that I made, it is 1920x1920 and for some reason looks dithered/terrible after I set it as wallpaper, I'd just like to know why. Is it because it's a jpg? or is this phone not up to the job? It displays fine when you view it and zoom in to cover the screen as a kind of...

Hi there, the S4 active is at the top of my list of phones I am considering to get, but I'm wondering if the screen is any brighter than the normal S4 when set to max brightness. Can any of you guys shed some light on the difference? :)

I seem to remember that when I first got GTA3 for the phone, lots of the cars seemed to have extra details on them, the engines were formed in 3D rather than a flat image, the Diablo Stallion's blower was different, and the Kuruma had chrome trim over the wheel arches and around the brake...

A person I know with a brand new TF201 has some wierd problem with their keyboard dock, the 2 and ' key work as normal, but when holding shift, the 2 key gives a " instead of the @, and vice versa. Couldn't find any other occurrences of this bug with google.

I was doing some thinking today and realized something- I haven't spotted a SIM tray/slot on the outer edge of the D Quad yet, in any of the photos I've seen around the place, then I also remembered that in this one close up picture, the back cover does look a little thin/flimsy, more than just...

The latest buzz is that the Mediapad 10 will have an optional keyboard dock like the Asus range, this rumor is on many sites (half of them in languages other than english) but they all seem very sure, to the point of confirmed (something to do with a connector on the tablet on the edge of a...

At some point in this process, my GPS has been murdered: Installed ADW Launcher Made it how I wanted it (gps isn't touched) Installed ADB Shell 3D launcher Wiped data on ADW launcher and then uninstalled. Now GPS marker doesn't appear in the status bar, only when I try to use an app that uses...

I've been working to make the Status Bar transparent but have discovered that due to there being no classes.dex file in the SystemUI.apk, this doesn't seem possible, selected other phones have it, but it's not as simple as copying the dex from one of those and sticking it in the S2 version...

This tablet looks like the king on paper, beyond all doubt, I'll absolutely be getting it, I'm just wondering why no one on this forum is talking about it yet. Here is the most recent spec list I could find: 2G : GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G : HSDPA 4G : LTE (will be added to later models I...

Samsung's Galaxy S II celebrates 20 million sold, just in time for MWC -- Engadget Awesome. :) The article says it launched in April, but it was actually May 1st/3rd 2011. Mine arrived on the 6th, it was a great day, and it almost feels like yesterday, time kinda flew.

My opinions: List any sellers here that you receive fake batteries from. I'll start with member talklinesales whose shop is FoneM8 Not only do they claim they are genuine, but the picture shows Made in Korea on the label, without finished in china. I know some genuine ones are finished in...

We're getting GTA III, some other phones are too, but who cares. Announcing Grand Theft Auto III: 10th Anniversary Edition for Select Mobile Devices & the Limited Edition Claude Action Figure | Rockstar Games This is superb.

Spotted some interesting looking battery covers on the net, they appear to be the normal plastic part with a ripe layer of transparent and colored rubber on it, making it a kind of grip. Not sure what to make of it, I was just looking to get the one with the Galaxy SII badge on the back instead...

Is it possible to remove the notification/status bar? I'd quite like to reclaim that loss of screen space. I'm hoping it's something we can perhaps make transparent at least.
