    Help Car/ Location finder - without network data

    I'm tring to find an app that will locate my car via GPS only as I am going to the USA (big theme park car parks) and will have data roaming disabled.

    Help Angry birds keep going AWOL since Froyo

    Since Froyo My Angry Birds shortcut disappears from the screen at each reboot. I've added it via a long press and by the add shortcut menu - but it goes after each reboot. The game is still there and selectable from the apps, and other shortcuts are OK. Is it me, or do others get it? Blonkster

    Help How accurate can the GPS get?

    Before I get my SGS swapped due to wobbly GPS, I tried again today with patchy clouds in the UK and the GPS was jumping between 30m and 10m according to GPS test, with an occasional 5m. This seems better than before, but I wondered how good I can expect it to be. Is 5m as good as it gets? If...

    Possible fix for Kies!

    I could not get it to connect at all today, but it had worked in the past, so I tried various things, including turning Kaspersky AV off - but it didn't seem to help. I tired a few other things and I think the solution may be to turn wifi off! Seems to work consistently for me now, Windows 7...
