    N5 won't play YT/video clips without pausing every few seconds

    Not sure whether I'm missing anything but my N5 won't play video clips - YT or otherwise - without pausing every few seconds. It's not even buffering so far as I can see (no wheel or other buffering icon on screen), it just pauses repeatedly which is beyond irritating. Android tablet plays...

    Help Wallpaper 'twitching'

    My wallpaper (usually photo of choice) has been scrolling a bit when I flick through my home screens. I didn't mind this. Today, out of nowhere (literally within the last hour or so) since changing my wallpaper pic, it's stopped scrolling and instead I can only describe it as 'twitching'...

    Help Picture files - storage and/or transfer/attaching

    Just got my Nexus 5 and overall very chuffed with it. Battery is fine, have only charged it fully a handful of times. But, I usually store photos and when I want to, email them to friends, colleagues, whatever (via MS Outlook 2010). Trying to do this yesterday, I got an error message...

    Help S2 stopped receiving certain text messages

    My S2 seems to have stopped receiving text alerts from certain senders like my GP surgery, hairdressers and chemist. Is this likely? I checked my settings and 'auto retrieve' is on. I also get texts from parcel delivery companies and other organisations so it's not all those types of sender. Any...

    Help Alert tones keep changing since JB update

    Before the JB update on my S2, I had a message alert tone, a WhatsApp alert tone, a ringtone and a default notification tone - all different. Since the JB update, despite still having all of these set, the predominant tone is the default notification; even though when I go into my message apps...

    Help Galaxy S2 won't connect to free wifi network

    I've noticed recently that although my phone tells me that there are free/open wifi networks available, it won't connect (such as in my local shopping centre, sat outside a mobile phone shop with an open network on my wifi list). The wifi icon is active and flashing, but all it does is...

    Help Ringtones lost/changed after connecting to PC

    I get this problem more often than not; my S2 appears to lose all my music/videos and I have to reboot it to get them back and re-assign my ringtones, message alert, etc. Given that I take a lot of photos with my phone and upload them to the web or PC, it's a bit annoying that I have to reboot...

    Help Can't override default keyboard

    Following advice/suggestions on here, I downloaded the Smart Keyboard Pro app and have been using the HTC keyboard which I prefer. This morning, however, my phone has defaulted back to the Samsung keyboard and I can't seem to override it with any of the skins that came with the app and I really...

    Picture storage/transfer to PC

    When I plug my phone into the PC as 'disk drive' it registers over 500 photos and thumbnails of what I assume is my internet activity, yet the phone itself only shows about 140 photos in the gallery. Many of the photos are duplicated. So ... is there a secret stash of duplicate photos I need...

    Desire switching off while charging?

    My 6-month old Desire has taken to occasionally turning itself off while charging. I had it on charge in hubby's car, then felt it vibrate half a dozen times (it was in my lap due to the length of the in-car lead) and switch off. It then took ages to reboot, stuck on the O2 Welcome screen, and...
