    Has anyone else got a UK S4 and an official Samsung MHL/HDMI apadter to work? Mine connects ok, I can see pictures on my TV in HD as expected and it's powered up with an official Samsung power lead (which I know is optional with the new MHL2) After about 10 minutes, the phone disconnects...

    Has the S4 UK just upgraded itself?

    I've just rebooted my S4 this morning because it wasn't connecting to the mobile network. After the reboot, my lock screen had reset to the default Samsung screen and not my own picture and the Facebook app needed the password and sync settings re-entering. Thing is, I don't know what version...

    Help T-mobile android browser (Web n Walk)

    Hi Does anyone know what the default browser is? T-Mobile butchered it up to be web'n'walk, but I guess other than that it is pretty much standard? I would like to be able to remove the web'n'walk iconography and have the standard icon instead. Is that do-able? Cheers Steve

    I'm seeing some strange behaviour with WiFi hotspot tethering on my GS2. To set the scene, I have tried various other ROMS, but have gone back to the stock ROM which I prefer for various reasons and have yesterday updated via Kies to 4.0.4. I have great 3G coverage and using EE as the...

    Hi, I'm not sure what I have done (or installed), but recently everytime I get out of my car, having being connected to the radio's bluetooth for calls, my S2 starts playing a song (Mumford and Sons' The Cave actually). There is nothing in my notification bar to say that a song is playing. I...

    What happened to my weather widget clock?

    Hi, I'm sure that when I first got my GS2, the weather widget included a clock. This way, if I touched the clock part, this would take me to the clock, alarm, timer etc. This seems to have disappeared! Am I getting confused or doing somehting wrong? The weather widget I use is the stock...

    Vehicle dock and phone protector

    Hi, Has anyone used a car dock with a GS2 fitted with a case protector? I have ordered the official case protector (the mesh vent case) and am looking to get a car dock too, only I am thinking the phone may not fit into it as there will be extra bulk. Cheers Steve

    Help Bluetooth connection with iMac

    This is a topic previously discussed, but all the discussions seem to be old and/or unanswered, so hopefully with time passing, there might have been updates to the phone which have resolved the problem... I can't connect my HTC Desire 2.2 to my iMac (which is about 3 years old running...

    Facebook email notification plays a song not on my desire!!??

    Hi, My desire started playing a song yesterday, all by itself - which took me by surprise! Turns out it happens every time someone posts me an email using Facebook (i.e a facebook to facebook email, not to my google a/c). It shows as a unique icon in the notification bar on the phone just as a...
