    Samsung Samsung Galaxy S24 - How to transfer data from Windows PC

    Customise predictive text?

    Not sure it would, but my problem is solved by pinning the numeric values to the clipboard and then I can recall them when needed!

    Customise predictive text?

    Thanks. Yes, this works for words (i.e. letters), but doesn't seem to work for numerical entries, such as a bank-code :cautious:

On my current phone, a Google Pixel 8 running the Gboard keyboard it hasn't done this. Is there any way to customise the list of words used...

    How to see what apps are consuming cpu

    Now and again, the tablet will run very slow. I have a widget that shows RAM and cpu usage - the cpu can be running high (70+%) and I am not doing anything. Clearly, something is running in the background gobbling up the resources and I would like to find out what it is!

    How to see what apps are consuming cpu

    Thanks for the suggestion but, sadly, this still doesn't offer what I need as it only gives information about RAM usage and not cpu. I have tried many task manager/system monitor apps and come to the conclusion that this is simply not available :cry:

    Help Should my new Wildfire behave like this????

    Had a Wildfire for a few days, now, and am getting very frustrated by its slow response and constant freezing. I have loaded a couple of apps from the Android Market (MyPhoneExplorer and SqueezeBox Commander), but, apart from that it is fairly standard. For instance, if the screen has powered...
