For example, I set the phone to a 5g wifi band and later find it has switched to 2.4. What causes this? I do...

    Shortcuts Disappear from homescreen

    Occasionally my shortcuts vanish from the homescreen. It seems this may occur after a reboot but not sure. Note well that these are shortcuts *only* and not apps- the apps remain in place. Lately I have been bookmarking sites I visit (I use Chrome) as a precaution but it is still annoying to see...

    Long press of some letters changes language

    When typing if some letters are held down too long, the typed character changes to another language, for example, n changes to the French variation with a cedilla, which is occasionally annoying. I have chosen English and no other languages and "multilingual" is greyed out, yet "Gboard" is still...

    Recycle Bin Emptying on Note 4

    I just *deleted* a bunch of large image files. I assume they have gone into a recycle bin or equivalent. I need more space on my Note 4. Nobody seems to know how this bin can be emptied.

    Copy files w/o changing original "taken" date

    I am copying photos/ videos from a "camera" folder in internal memory to a new "camera" folder on an SD card and do not want their original "taken" dates changed to the current (copy) date. I think there is no simple way to do this as I have searched in vain. Am I right? Thanks very much for...

    I have not purchased the s6 yet but since it doesn't have replaceable memory I'd like to have your experiences copying/moving photos/videos to PC using Windows File Explorer and hard wire. Is this simply micro-USB to USB? Is this cable supplied with the phone? Is the transfer rate similar to...

    I am currently restoring files backed up with G Cloud. The process is slow- I have about 66GB worth. As the restore proceeds, why can't I find the files on my microSD card? Must the download be complete before I can see them? Supposedly I have a 50mbps download speed (measured with Ookla)...

    Help How to Alphabetize Items on Home Screen

    I have seen other posts about this but for different phones- all saying it can't easily be done. Not to clutter the forum with redundant posts, but I want to make sure once and for all that there isn't a simple answer. I'm sure everybody is used to a computer where the desktop icons can be...
