    Help Struggling to take decent pictures on Note 2

    I've come from a GS2 that eventually was rooted and running Jelly bean Cyanagen and the photos I took were always good, often stunning but rarely bad unless I did something daft. I could just point and click and the camera pretty much always hit the spot, I could play around with the settings...

    Help Really strange - Text to speech with s-pen hover in email

    For some reason today using my s-pen to hover over emails for the popup info I'm getting the Note2 reading them out to me. I've checked everywhere, S-Pen settings, talk back settings, car mode, text to speech. Everything is turned off, I've even done a battery pull, I can't stop my phone...

    Just installed CM10 Jelly Bean (My opinion)

    Finally got round to rooting my SG2 as the warranty is nearly out so I thought why not :) Root and flash was easy as pie compared to the Apps2SD+ EXT3+ terminal Desire headache. No problems at all that I've seen, phone is fully functional. New notifications are lovely, Google now is a hoot...

    Help ICS 4.04 and exchange mail hangs

    Anyone else found that the email app hangs with a black screen after the 4.04 update? Maybe exchange related or may not but that's what I use the email app for. Edit: Fixed... Kind of... Had to delete data and cache from the email app and it seems ok now.

    I'm using Social hub/ stock email for both Exchange 2003 and Gmail and all was going well till people round the office started reporting their iPhones couldn't send or receive email through Exchange any more. Checked the Exchange error logs and it looks like my Sammy launched a DOS style...

    Help Social Hub on ICS

    Ok ICS is installed and seems to be (generally) running well. Some of the new features I like about the ICS Social Hub like deleting messages from the list screen without having numerous button presses. Other things like it always opens in feeds and I can't access my folders in my accounts...

    Help SG2 Problems with USB and wifi/ data connection

    I've got a couple of random issues with my SG2, they aren't serious but still an annoyance. 1) When plugged in and charging from my PC, I can hear the PC mount and unmount the USB storage every few minutes. I have no idea what's causing it unless the phone is powering down USB then the PC...

    The downside to not supporting popular old phones

    Rogues' Gallery: The Dozen Most Vulnerable Smartphones | SecurityNewsDaily.com Desire gets a dire score because of the length of time it took to update and patch Android flaws. Google should be patching old versions of Android as well as making shiny new versions for top end phones. A lot...

    Not sure if there are Android mail wizzies here? My problem is I use gmail for personal use and also need to connect to Exchange 2003 at work. I don't want two email apps but I do want a client that will push both accounts. The native SGS2 mail app works really well with our exchange...

    Root MIUI and battery life

    After using MIUI for a couple of weeks and whilst loving the ROM itself was not so impressed with the battery life. I decided to give one of the new (v2 I think) MANU kernels a go and I am so far very impressed. I used set CPU to set underclock to 128 and overclock to 1036 and the battery life...

    Will be moving on from the Desire in the next couple of weeks

    My friend just offered me his old phone (no guesses what it is but it ends with a 4 ;) ) It was such a low price, a bargain in fact that I'd have been stupid to say no. It will be a nice change for me (I hope) although I'll miss Android and it's flexibility I'm looking forward to a phone where...

    Accessories Voice dialling with IO Play

    Just bought a new car with an IO Play Bluetooth handsfree kit installed. Pairing was instant and easy and audio streaming is brilliant but... Is there anyway to get it to do voice dialing? All I can see is hold down the green button for two seconds to redial last number on the phone.
