    Help Couple of ICS queries...

    There's a couple of things I keep seeing talked about with ICS, which I don't see happening on my S2 since upgrade: Unlocking straight to camera. I just get a padlock when I touch the lock screen, and I can swipe in any direction to unlock, but always just to my desktop. Is there a setting...

    Kies sync

    So, Kies doesn't seem to be the disaster for me that it is for some people, but it's certainly behaving a little bizarrely, duplicating some contacts etc, and seemingly affecting my cmputer's performance. So, I ahve a couple of questions... Is it possible to get a report on what has been...

    GPS - Always on?

    Sorry, misleading thread title actually. Anyway... I've noticed that, unlike my previous HTC (Android 2.1), it seems that my S2 only switches GPS on when it's needed - is that right? Eg, if I have GPS enable, no symbol is in the notification bar until I open either Google Maps or the GPS...

    Loose Back Cover?

    I may be finding fault with the tiniest thing here, but at the end of the day my S2 is a wonderful phone, and so the slightest drop from its high standards can be a little annoying! Does anybody else find that the back cover is just a tiny bit loose between the camera and the power button - ie...

    Divert to Voicemail

    OK, I'm quite happy to preface this question by admitting that I must be exceptionally thick, as not only should this be obvious but there is a glaring lack of other people on the internet with the same problem, but here goes... How the hell do I set my S2 to divert to voicemail? At the moment...

    Premium Email Questions

    So what is this "Premium email" business all about then? I have a few questions on email having just got my S2 set-up... It seems that when I set-up my Yahoo email account, I can select Premium or non-premium. If I do the former, the main difference seems to be that it will use Push email...

    Kies Download

    can anybody else download from Kies from Support for Galaxy S II SAMSUNG at the moment? It just hangs and times out when I try. At one point it was working, but at 1 byte per second, estimating 640 days to complete! Is it just me, or is the site knackered?

    Unread Emails number on shortcuts

    Found a few threads related to this, but no definitive answers... I have found that if I add an email shortcut to my homepage via Shortcuts->Applications->Email, the general email app, which accesses all my accounts will display a little red circle showing how many unread emails I have...

    Exchange ActiveSync - only 3 days available after upgrade?

    Rigth, this is annoying... I used to sync the last 2 weeks of emails with Exchange ActiveSync, but I've just realsied that since upgrading to Android 2.1, it only gives the option to download 1 or 3 days. Anybody know why, and if there is a way round it? I really need more emails than that!

    Goggles / Camera woes

    Oh dear, seems I've hit my first problem with 2.1 :( Installed and fired up Goggles, and it worked OK (couldn't identify a Nutri-grain bar, but heh!). Then went back to use it again a while later and it rebooted the phone. Once restarted, tried Goggles again, and it worked, but then on...

    "Source" in Contacts & syncing

    Right, I'm really confused about this... I've just noticed that a handful of my contacts in my phone don't sync with Outlook. They are ones I have manually added to the phone since first syncing in all my contacts. On close inspection I noticed that all these are listed with "exchange" as the...

    Hi all, Does anybody else find that address fields (and possibly others I've not noticed) are truncated at 25 characters when syncing with Outlook via HTC Sync? The field in People is plenty longer and so is teh one in Outlook, but only the first 25 characters come across. Anybody know a way...
