    Help AllShare - exclude folders?

    AllShare works really well between my Note and my Samsung TV. But Samsung have fallen into the same trap that all manufacturers seem to fall into lately - and that is assuming we want every app to scan and include ALL our videos/photos/music and to not give us the choice to say either where we...

    Help Browser Home Button?

    I am sure I must be missing something, but my Galaxy S2 is now my fourth Android phone, and I've still not found how to quickly get to my homepage in the browser. Eg...I have google.co.uk as my homepage. I search something, click a link, the another and another. Now I'm finished and want to get...

    Best thing about SGS2 owners....

    ....is that we've resisted the urge to start a "Your Galaxy S2 Screen" thread. So far.

    Help No sense to memory "thing"

    Couple of days into ownership of a SGS2 and although I consider myself to be pretty confident in using PCs and phones, I am struggling to get my head around the memory/storage setup on this thing. As I understand it, I have 16GB, of which a section is split off to be (let's call it) SYSTEM -...

    On order from Chitter Chatter (UK)

    My upgrade was due on the 17th (yesterday) but on Monday I visited the T-Mobile (UK) store and was told that the SGS2 wasn't yet available and wouldn't be for some week as it was being "tested" (read - loaded with T-Mobile guff). So I got in touch with Chitter Chatter and they processed my...

    Help Froyo and STILL can't view addresses?

    Have 2.2 now on my Desire (with HTC Sense if that makes any difference) and I am amazed that when I open a contact to get their postal address (to write on an envelope), I STILL can't view it. I can see the house number, street and some of the town, but can't see the postcode. I can click it...

    Identifying Battery Use

    My battery is lasting me about six hours at best, though granted I am probable quite a heavy user. Thing is, I can see that my handset is never going to sleep (uptime currently 20:09:50, awake time 20:09:50) and I wonder how to go about identifying which application I have that is possibly...

    Issues with 3rd party apps and NON-Google contacts?

    I don't know if anyone else can replicate any of these issues, but I am seeing serious issues with third party apps and contacts that are NOT syncing with Google. I use HTC Sync to sync my contacts and my calendar to Outlook and I don't sync anything with Google. This means all my calendar is...

    Touchpad....is it just me?

    Been a week now with my Desire and I simply can't get used to the optical trackpad. Don't do a lot of browsing, but do a lot of texting, emailing and tweeting and I used to use my Hero trackball to move around text fields to correct mistakes. I find that the trackpad is so unsensitive that it...

    Non-Google Sync'd Items Invisible To Apps?

    I have now seen a related problem on two third party apps....neither seem to be able to "see" contact information stored as "phone" contacts. My set-up: T-Mobile HTC Desire, using HTC Sync to sync contacts and calendar with Outlook on the desktop. Due to the limited functionality of the...

    Hero (T-Mobile G2) WITHOUT sim card?

    I have been sent an HTC Desire as a replacement for a G2/Hero from T-Mobile due to the 3G/Missed Calls/Texts issues. Strange thing is that T-Mobile have told me that they don't want the G2 sent back, but that it will be "blacklisted" in seven days. I guess that this means no sim card will...

    Caller ID Not Working

    T-Mobile G2/HTC Hero - I have a couple of contacts in my address book (notably 0800 numbers) where the caller ID doesn't show when they call, just the phone number. Anyone have this problem and/or found a solution to it? Seems to affect just a few - no problem with the vast majority of my...

    Help Constant "Download Unsuccessful"

    Son's Pulse has been downloading apps (both paid and free) okay up till now. Today it's decided that everything we try and download (and that is everything) will just report that it's starting, then "download unsuccessful". Of course, there's no error message, or reason why it's failed. Stock...

    Help Pulse Not Connecting To Network

    Anyone had this problem? My son's Pulse is about six weeks old now and all of a sudden it's stopped connecting to the mobile network. Have tried: Power down and back on. Power down, battery out, sim out, leave 30mins, back in, power up. Swap his sim and my sim (also T-Mobile, G2) and his sim...

    Button Backlight Delay

    I have found the settings to adjust the delay on the screen itself blanking, but when using the phone in the dark, the backlight behind the home, menu, back, etc, keys turns off too quickly. I might be reading and email and want to go back, but by the time I have read it, the keys are dark. Is...

    Help I really don't know about Android....

    Been one month now with an HTC Magic on Vodafone UK. It's a work phone and was an ideal chance to investigate Android before my own upgrade is due in February. I'm currently using a Blackberry, have in the past used Windows Mobile devices and an iPhone so have experience of all my options. I...

    Help Phone Off, WiFi On?

    Maybe I am missing something obvious here. Often at home I want to turn off the phone to avoid work calls, texts, etc, but would like to use the internet facilities of the phone via WiFi. Is there a way of turning off the phone but leaving WiFi on? I gave found airplane mode which turns off...

    Help Hang Up + Lock Screen?

    Seems to be a bit of another design error - dialpad -> dial number -> make call -> screen goes black during call -> press red to hang up -> screen locks -> menu -> menu -> dialler (to make a new call) This is awfully long winded. A press of the red button in a call out to simply hang up and...

    Having gone from "standard" phones through Palm, Windows Mobile, Blackberry and iPhone, I now find myself with a personal Blackberry and a work issued HTC Magic, and contemplating the Hero for my upgrade in Feb. Overall.....very pleased with Android but: (a) there MUST be quick development on...
