    Help Wifi tether not working

    I have just bought a Galaxy Note and so far I'm very impressed by it. I have one issue. The wifi tether seems to not be working. I turn it on, and I get the icon. My Macbook pro sees the new wifi network and connects to it. Then nothing happens. I cannot use it to surf the net or anything...

    Help Data lost

    I have just had my Z repaired by HTC. The ribbon cable between the screen and the main body cracked. The repair took less than one week so I'm very happy. The phone came back as factory default. I could not back up my phone before sending it away as I could not see the screen so when I...

    Help Connecting to a Mac

    I have a Tab P1010. I also have a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard. First off, Kies doesn't work with the 1010. But even more annoying... When I connect the Tab to the Mac, the screen on the Tab says "Connecting to Kies"... Kies does nothing. If I hit OK to cancel the connection to kies...

    Help GPS deaf to sats

    I have just bought a 7" Tab. It's a great machine. I have noticed that the GPS is very "deaf" when trying to find the satellites. My HTC Dezire Z receives 8 sats but the Tab sat next to it only finds one. These tests were carried out using GPS Assist on both devices. The Dezire Z locked on in...

    Help Market problem

    I have just bought a Wildfire S for my son. It's a cracking little phone and runs 2.3. We have noticed an annoying issue. If you turn it off, when it's turned back on again it re-downlaods apps from the Market place. Last night it kept downloading the Gmail app and today it's Angry Birds Rio...

    Help Handbrake settings

    What do you guys recommend for the best Handbrake settings to get DVDs onto the Desire Z? I only run Macs and Ubuntu machines, but I am open to suggestions of other software for getting DVDs to the SD card on my phone. I want to watch films during a flight in a few weeks time, so I need to...

    Help Music player and the supplied headset

    I have, for the first time, plugged in the supplied headset/earphones. I have noticed that the play button doesn't control the standard media player. I installed Winamp a while back, and the controller on the head set controls this. I have un-installed Winamp, but I still cannot control the...

    Help Notification sounds

    I have a niggling problem... When I get an e-mail, sometimes the phone sounds my notification sound, sometimes it just buzzes... I only want it to buzz and have set it to do so. When I get a mail it will buzz and then a minute or so later make the sound. It doesn't do this all the time. Any...

    Help GPS fix problems

    I recently upgraded to an HTC desire Z from a Nokia N97 Mini. I'm very happy to have done so as the N97 Mini is a useless pile of c**p! Anyhoo... One of the niggles that I have is the GPS. If I use it, it works fine and gets a fix in seconds.... But if I try to use it again a bit later on, I...
