After using my Galaxy S3 for almost 3 and a half years, I decided to upgrade to a new phone. The GS3 has been a great phone, but has been feeling long in the tooth for months now. With a bunch of new phones released as of late, I decided to pull the trigger and get a Nexus 6P. My reasons for...

I seem to be unable to set a song I have on my phone as the alarm tone. Is there a way to do this like I can with my old phone?

On my old phone (Galaxy S3), I have some custom sound files that I create for notification sounds. I had no issues using them on my old phone on all apps that allow custom notifications. On the Nexus 6P, I am unable to set custom notification sounds for Google Hangouts and Facebook Messenger...

I'm having an issue with S Planner. I would change the notification sound, but then after some time, it seems to always change back to the default notification sound. Anyone else having this issue? I'm using an I747-M model on Bell. The phone will not let me disable this app. I tried to...

KitKat, Android 4.2.2, just arrived yesterday for Rogers, Bell and Telus (Robellus) and Koodo (Telus owned). Samsung Galaxy Note 2, S3, S4 Mini and Mega upgrade to KitKat now available to download | MobileSyrup.com I've installed it on my phone late yesterday. I'll have to use it a few days...

I got my Transformer almost 3 years ago. I decided to get the Transformer because of the keyboard dock. I was hoping to be able to use it as a PC replacement. I used it quite a bit for about a year. I found it could replace my PC 75% of the time. What I liked most is the fact that I can...

When I am on a call, I see this dial pad: I hate this dial pad because it is too high on the screen. When I try to use it, my hand often triggers the proximity sensor and causes the screen to blank out on me. Is there any way to use a custom dial pad to replace this? I have tried custom...

The update started rolling out yesterday. I got mine last night. My first impression was that the phone seemed a bit smoother. Not sure if it is 4.3 or the fact that I just rebooted it. I'll have to see in a few days if it is still smooth. The big issue I am having is with BlueTooth. It...

A few months ago, I decided to root my phone for the sole purpose of using Keyboard Manager. I did nothing else such as installing custom ROM. I was wondering what would happen if my carrier decides to push out a firmware update to my phone. Would I get the notification that I have an update...

I have Adobe Flash installed on my GS3. When you update the phone to Jelly Bean, do you have to do anything more to ensure Flash is still available on the stock browser?

Is there any way to change the notification sound when I get a voicemail notification?

So, back in July 2012, I had to get a new phone. The battery on my HTC Desire Z was going bad and I was unable to get a new battery in time for my vacation. Under tight time constraints, I decided to burn my early upgrade eligibility on the Samsung Galaxy S III. I was planning on waiting...

I seem to be unable to change the default notification ringtone on my calendar (S Planner). Every time I go into the settings to change the default notification ringtone, it always reverts back to the one called "On time". Anyone know how to permanently change the default notification ringtone...

I just noticed as of late that none of the weather apps that I tried can find my current location. It seemed to work when I was in Europe and then back in Vancouver a couple of weeks ago. This week, I noticed there was a problem. My Maps app works fine. Both The Weather Network and The...

I noticed that a couple of times this week, my phone lost network connectivity to the 3G/HSPA/LTE network. I'm on Bell Canada. The only way to fix this is to reboot the phone. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this issue.

I am finding that in the past few days, the music player is repeating some songs that I heard recently. I have around 2500 songs on my phone. I would expect that when I shuffle the play list, that I would not hear a song today that I heard yesterday. On my old Nokia N97, when I shuffle the...

I recently changed from an HTC Desire Z to an SGS3. On my old phone, when I copy my music files onto the phone, the music player would show the album cover art. On the SGS3, the music player does not show the album cover art. I obtained the album covers using Windows Media Player on my PC...

I rented a movie via Google Play. I can view it on my TF101 fine. However, when I try to play it on my TV via an HDMI cable, all I see is a blank screen on my TV. The sound is OK, thought. It seems that there is an issue playing Google Play rented movies via the Play Movies app. I am able...

Anyone got this one yet? It looks like just a security update. One person on Mobilesyrup reports that the home screen takes a long time to load after the update.

I noticed recently that my Eee Pad screen would randomly turn on briefly and then turn off again. As of late I'm playing a MMO and would occasionally look up stuff on my Eee Pad. I have the Eee Pad docked in the keyboard dock so I can see the screen without holding it. I often let it time out...

Three times this week, I noticed that the sound just died on my Eee Pad. I went to look at a video or play a game and noticed there was no sound. I have to do a reboot before the sound comes back. Anyone else have this issue?

I seem to be having issues when using Dolphin HD and Dolphin for Pad when viewing Flash videos. I find that when I tap on the full screen button on the video, it causes the browser to crash and I have to restart it. So far, this issue appears to be with the non-stock browsers so far. The...

The other day, I decided to try out Polaris Office to create a very simple spreadsheet. The sheet consisted of rows for individual items and columns that show unit price, number of units and total price. This is pretty much the simplest spreadsheet you can make. I was just so disappointed...

I just noticed today that my Eee Pad now has Swype. Is this new with the latest firmware?

When I connect my HTC Desire Z to the Eee Pad, I have the option on the Desire Z to connect as a USB storage device. When I try this, the Eee Pad does not recognise the Desire Z as a USB storage device. It can only charge my Desire Z. I can use a regular USB key as a storage device on the Eee...
