    Help Shutter button sensitivity

    Just trying to work out if I have a duff or not. The shutter button seems extremely sensitive when pressed halfway, only need to barely touch it when focusing. Not generally an issue but when in gallery, the slightest touch will open the camera which us very annoying. Is this normal?

    Help Issue with video freezing on YouTube - audio continues

    After around 30 seconds of any youtube video, the video freezes and the audio continues. I've tried uninstalling updates but the factory version is also the same. So now the app is unusable. Any idea what's happening and what we can do to fix it? Seems a lot of others are facing this issue...

    The s4 comes with a load of cool sensors and on one of the screenshots of s health, I saw blood pressure mentioned. I'd be interested to know how this is measured and what accessory I'll need - s band or heart rate monitor?

    Root [International] How to completely unroot to be able to install updates

    Help Multitasking problems

    I've moved from an iphone to a galaxy s3 but I'm having problems when it comes to multitasking and switching between apps. With the iPhone if I switched to another app and then back to the original one, the original app would be frozen in its previous state, so I could carry on where I left...

    Help Multiwindow - add more apps

    I decided to root my phone today in order to install a mod which would allow me to add more apps to multiwindow. Although I thought I did this, by installing lk-mw-deodexed - i9300-xxella.zip and mwcontrol.apk. Everything seemed to go ok, I rebooted and opened the mwcontrol app, added some apps...

I've restricted background data, which helps a lot, but when I go into data usage settings a lot of data seems to be used by Android os, and the figures don't seem to add up. I'm just wondering whether this...

    Help Can anyone explain to me about sync?

    I'm a bit confused about what having sync on actually does. I normally have it switched off, yet I still receive WhatsApp messages, email etc. The times I have had it activated I've received Gmail emails, even though I rarely use the account. So what are the benefits of having it activated...

    Help Iplayer playing downloaded videos

    I downloaded a programme from the Iplayer today and when I came to play it, it was scrambled. I'm thinking this is because of the DRM. Is there anything I need to do in order to be able to play the file?

    Yahoo mail app

    Received an upgrade to this yesterday and it's made the whole experience worse - no longer receiving push notifications and they've changed the icon so that it's now the same as the sms one. Is there any way to revert back to the previous version, which was working fine?

    Help Battery drain using wifi

    Recently I've noticed my s3's battery draining more when connected to wifi. There are issues with it not connecting straight away, spending a long time 'authenticating' before it connects. If I look at battery in settings I can see that while connected to wifi, the phone never sleeps, whereas...
