    Help SMS take ages to arrive

    When my girlfriend, using my Samsung Galaxy S2 tries to text me on my iPhone 5S, her texts take ages to get through to me. Sometimes up to five hours. No-one else has this problem when they text me at all, so I am wondering if anyone knows what the issue could be please? She is on Vodafone UK...

    Help Random reboots

    Hi all I'm getting random reboots on my Note 3, in each case whilst the phone is sat idle on my desk. Yesterday I missed a very important call because my phone decided to turn itself off (over 70% battery remaining) and would not restart until I pulled the battery. Anyone know of any apps...

    Help I can't get rid of Auto Brightness in Notification bar

    Hello gang In my notification panel there is the bar at the top for brightness adjustment. Now, I don't want this there and even though I constantly untick the option in the Settings > Notification Panel > Brightness Adjustment, it keeps 'reticking' itself and adding it back into my...

    Bluetooth and Wifi Unlocker

    Hi all Some time ago, I downloaded the Bluetooth and Wifi Unlocker by Joel Stern from the Google Play store for my HTC One. I liked it so much I bought the license key to upgrade it to the paid version and it's worked completely flawlessly since then. However, now I have a Galaxy Note 3 as...

    Dissuade/Persuade me - Note 3

    You've probably seen loads of these threads before and I humbly apologise. I swore to myself that I wouldn't make one of these threads but I feel the best people to answer my questions are those Note 3 owners who can actually speak from experience. I'm teetering on the edge of buying a new...

    Help No sims other than Euro ones (European version)

    I've just read a post over on XDA that shows a picture of a sticker on the box stating that only European SIM cards will be recognised in the phone. If this is in fact true for all Note 3 handsets, this is a complete deal breaker for me as I want the phone to use when I am over in the States...

    Bench between Note 3, LG G2 and Xperia Z1

    Don't forget the Z1 and Note 3 aren't released yet so these are pre-release versions. As the guy says in the review, if the scores for those do change, it's likely they won't change by much. Benchmarks - Z1, G2 and Note 3

    Quick reply using Chomp SMS

    As a long time fan of Bite SMS on the iPhone, I naturally migrated to Chomp SMS which I love on my HTC One. The only thing I can't get to work though is that there is allegedly an inbuilt 'quick reply' feature that will pop up a box either on the lockscreen or whilst in another app. I can find...

    Pen and Paper Roleplaying Games

    I searched the Gaming forum but couldn't find a thread on this so I thought i'd start one. I can't believe no-one has done this before although from the AFRPFG thread I gather a few of you are roleplayers. I wonder how many more roleplayers on the forum there are? It's an Android forum so it's...

    Help Facebook/Friends, etc. pictures in Gallery app. Can these be removed? (HTC Sense 5)

    I have the new HTC One running Sense 5 and I have noticed that the Gallery app contains all the pictures from my Facebook friends. The only way I can get rid of them is to sign out of Facebook but that leaves a large, ugly black box called 'Friends' slap-bang in the middle of the Gallery app...

    HTC inbuilt power saving toggle using Tasker

    Is there a way to toggle the inbuilt HTC power saver mode through Tasker please? I know I could create a profile that does all the same things but it would be far easier and less prone to flaking out if I could just toggle the inbuilt power saver on and off at certain times. All help...

    Root [International] HTC One Has Bootloader Unlock Issues - workable though

    I know the devs on XDA are working on the Root issue with the HTC losing some apps permanently. Until that is utterly fixed, I won't even contemplating rooting my next Android phone. My S2 is rooted and my iPhone is jailbroken and I have to say I love the way that it is on the iPhone because if...

    Help Dropbox folder in Gallery

    For some reason I have a Dropbox folder in my Gallery app on my SGS3 with one single picture in it. Now, I don't have any pictures/photos in my actual Dropbox (I checked and synced to make sure) and I can't find this one random picture on the phone at all (bizarrely, it's the Weyland Yutani...

    Can anyone tell me what make/model this case is please?

    Sorry for starting a new thread but as this is a cry for a specific case, rather than a generic question about a cases, I thought it prudent to do so rather than taking my question on to someone else's thread. I've just bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 i910 (UK) and I want to get an extended battery...
