    Help Decent email client with minimal permissions?

    The stock email client on the S5 refuses to delete emails and always pulls them back down again. Is there a decent alternative that has minimal permissions? I don't need it importing information from my phone contacts, I'll deal with contacts. I just want it to sync, and if I delete emails...

    Help adding a folder on SD card to auto backup on dropbox?

    On my S5 I have dropbox, and it nicely auto uploads any images taken with the camera to dropbox, so when I power up the PC, they are pulled down to PC. I'm going to use the Sd card fitted to it to back up DSLR RAW files (so not recognised as images) to a folder on a holiday trip I'm doing, and...

    Help Duplicate image folders in gallery - how to tidy?

    I noticed that I now have duplicate folders in my gallery now, that have both duplicate and unique images. I think I made them by using media player to upload said folders. If I save an image on my phone, the folder browser only sees one. I also noticed when I deleted an image from one...

    dolphin browser - adding to opening page of shortcuts?

    When you start dolphin you get the opening page of some shortcut buttons. I have added to this before, or maybe edited them, but I can't seem to add one now. It's got 10 now, that's not max is it? I have room for more. Add to home page doesn't seem to be it.
