My LG G4 no longer recognises my SD card. I've tried another card and the original one works fine in another device, so I know it's the phone. Has anyone had this problem? I'm currently doing a cloud backup as I obviously can't do a full backup to my card. I'm considering a factory reset in the...

On my G4 there are four Quick Circle apps that are ticked but 'greyed out' which means I can't untick them. I don't use my phone for music and I don't want 'Settings' in my Quick Circle list and these icons just clutter up the window. Are other people's QC icons 'embedded' in this way or can...

I've just bought a Samsung Galaxy G3 and cannot get pinch zoom using Dolphin Mini. Pinch zoom works fine in Gallery and GMail. The only place where it won't work is when browsing the web using Dolphin. I've tried every possible setting but to no avail. Has anyone else experienced this problem...

I've rooted my SGS2 and after a lot of help from Ironass on here it now seems fine. I have 4.0.4 and am happy to know that I can upgrade to later versions using Odin. Shall I delete Kies or is it better to keep it updated? I'm assuming that keeping Kies up-to-date will mean that I'll...

I rooted my Galaxy S2 recently and all seemed fine. This morning my phone notified me that a firmware upgrade was available. I downloaded the upgrade by connecting to Samsung Kies and all seemed well. I then found that Titanium Backup wouldn't work as my phone was no longer rooted. Obviously...

I want to unlock my Galaxy S2 so that I can use local sim cards when I visit non-EU countries such as Croatia. Everything I read tells me that I can only unlock my phone if it's rooted. Is this the case? My provider, T-Mobile UK, tells me that it can unlock my phone for a fee, but perhaps...

Let's start by finding a name to describe the bit at the bottom of my S2's screen, which has four icons. These remain fixed in place even when you scroll through several screens. Let's call it the taskbar, although that's probably not right but it will suffice. I have deleted the Google...

I cannot work out how to make my Gmail account display images in emails properly. As an example, today I received an rmail with ten images in it. I instruct Gmail to display them but it will only display three. The others are in a list at the bottom with the option to download or preview. I...

My S2's radio will only work if I plug in some earphones. This is very odd as there is an option for playing radio through the speaker. I cannot find any way of using it without earphones plugged in, which is a bit of a problem. I don't normally carry earphones and if I suddenly decide to...

I say 'adding back' because I suspect that I've removed one! At the bottom of the screen are (in my case) three icons. These are the fixed, or embedded ones, which display on every screen. Every picture of an S2 that I see has four icons, but I have only three and I simply can't remember...

How can I turn off data transmission on my S2? When I go to Europe I want to use GPS so that I can use Google Maps navigation and I want to receive phone calls. However, data transmission for Brits in Europe is expensive, even with the packages that most providers offer, and I don't want to...

I've got into a right mess after having problems synching Google Calendar with my Galaxy S2. All my calendar entries are now in triplicate, which is a nightmare. I can restore the calendar on my phone from my backup application. Having done that can I delete the calendar on the PC, set up a...

Before I bought my Galaxy S2 I already had all my photos uploaded to Picasa and was delighted when they appeared on my smartphone as if by magic! I assume that the images on my S2 are not stored in its memory or on the SD card, as there is no trace of them when I connect it to my PC and browse...

After more years on Palm than some of you youngsters have been alive I finally decided that I had to come into the 21st Century! I have successfully migrated my contacts, calendar, memos etc. to my new Galaxy S2 and it just blows my mind! My only problem so far is with the search facility...
