    Help Can't type in Chrome!

    I'm having a strange issue on my S8 since the last software update. I can't type in chrome. When I load Chrome and it gives me the home screen with the search bar, recent sites and news feed, I can type in the search bar. But once I'm actually into the browser, I can't type, not even a flashing...

    Keyboard Alternative

    I've been using Swiftkey for years but the update a few months back has made me grow to loathe it. the reason for this is simple, it no longer reverts back to the qwerty keyboard after you do an emoji. I hate it. It was so fluid the way it worked and now they have more steps to carry on typing...

    And another lollipop mystery. I've started getting the weather on my lock screen, I've looked everywhere again in my system settings and in beautiful widgets and can't see a lock screen weather anywhere. It only appears randomly after about 6 hours of the phone being reset. The worst part is...

    Help SMS Notification no name

    Another problem I've found with updating to lollipop this morning. All my texts are coming through and displaying as "Message - New Message" rather than "Your Name - message preview" No names are showing at all, yet they are there in the message app which I've kept as stock. Any ideas?

    Help S4 thinks it's charging when unplugged!

    As the title suggest, when I unplug my charger, it thinks it's still charging. I've removed the battery for a few minutes and replaced, sorts the problem untill the next charge. It's not a serious issue I know, but annoying non the less :P Anyone else had this and know how to fix it?!

    Apps Would this be possible?!

    i've had an idea for an app but i'm not sure whether it will be possible or not. Well, I think it's definatly possible, but it's whether it'll be fast enough! Basically, I want to use the camera to detect a flash, and then if there is a flash, the phone's camera will flash too. Basically using...

    Emoticons?

    So I just upgraded from the s2 to the s4, I was actually sad to see the s2 go! It lasted me well :) Anyway, I know I can access the smileys on messages by hitting the menu button and getting to them that way, but back on the s2 it was nice to have them all either on the third page of symbols...

    So I finally decided I was going to make the move to ICS and did a nice fresh new install of everything. One thing that is infuriating me though. i cannot get the keyboard, for the life of me, get it to recognise me typing "id" and turn it into "I'd" I've got it in the auto substitution and...

    So yeah, as the title says, i'm getting bored of waiting for samsung to release ICS and from what I gather, touchwiz has pretty much made it the same as GB anyway! So! Couple of questions really. I really would like to flash CM9, but there isn't a 'stable' release out yet. How stable are the...
