    How to stream music from one phone to another?

    Myself and guy at work both have Samsung Galaxy S3's. We both have radios with audio-in. We want one person (me) to play mp3s, and for it to stream over to other guy's phone, so we can both be listening to the same stuff in stereo (his workstation is about 30ft from mine). LOUD shop (factory)...

    'cheap' Android phone needed - with GPS

    My mother is planning on finally upgrading from her old dumbphone to a smartphone, and being a Moto Droid -> Galaxy S2 -> Galaxy S3 user, I'd obviously like her to get a Samsung/Android phone. She doesn't want to spend a lot (actually it will probably be an early bday/xmas present from me) so a...

    How the heck do I get Chrome to stop inserting .com in searches!?

    I start entering some search text in the top bar of Chrome (on Android 4.1.1) A lot of times it will insert .com after a word I enter, which completely screws up my search text of course. How can I get my phone (Galaxy S3) to stop doing this??? When I enter text in the top text box in Chrome...

    Help SD cards keep gong corrupt

    Every so often I'll go into my photo gallery and have photos that are just blank thumbnails. I put the SD card into my PC and they come up as corrupt. MP3s will start to get 'hiccups' when playing. It's not the card - at first I had a Duracell 16GB card, and had the problem. I got a nice...

    I'm sure most people already knew this, but I didn't see a thread about it. Samsung bumps Galaxy S III Canadian launch to June 27th, pins it on 9 million world pre-orders -- Engadget

    Would you give up Quad Core CPU For LTE "or" LTE for Quad Core???

    I do believe I'm the only one who believes this... Why do companies focus on things like LTE for cell phones? They're pointless to most consumers! Am I the only person who does not have an unlimited data plan? Am I the only one that doesn't download massive multi-gig files on my cell phone...

    Android coder needed

    I'm looking to have a small 'answering machine on the phone' app coded. One that will simply answer incoming calls (send mp3 or wav greeting msg) then store their incoming audio to a file. Please PM me here for details. Thank you.

    Phone-based voice mail app needed!

    I've done some looking and am surprised I haven't found anything! Is there an app that when you get a call, it answers for you and stores the message from the caller? ie: a voicemail app that runs ON THE PHONE ? My carrier only gives me 3 voicemail messages, so I figured there must be a TON...

    Should I risk updating to ICS?

    My phone runs absolutely fine right now. Model: GT-I9100 Android: 2.3.3 Baseband: I9100XXKE4 Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725 Build: GINGERBREAD.XWKE7 I see a lot of people have had problems after the update: losing data, having to do a factory wipe, etc.. Is it worth the risk of...

    Really starting to wish I hadn't purchased this phone

    WOW does the reception/sending suck on this phone. Sucked on firmware KE2, still sucks just as bad on KE7. I'm using the phone in the same area of this room as my old Moto Droid which I used for years, and I have NEVER had so many failed message send attempts. You can sit their and retry, and...

    Help How do I update firmware?

    I finally got Samsung to accept my account info by entering bogus information. It rejected all my valid email accounts so I entered random garbage as email address and it took it. Then I got to About Phone > Check for Update and it says there's no updates available (I'm on KE2). A blog...

    Help Can someone tell me where the latest S2 update is?

    Is there a way to manually update the S2 firmware? I've noticed a lot of lockups in apps (mostly games with motion graphics), and the battery tends to drain fast, and charges VERY slow. :mad: Not sure if there's a fix available for this and any other issues I haven't come across yet?

    Help Most games freezing up on my S2

    Any game that seems to have motion in it - Homerun Baseball 3D, some missile command knock-off game I just tried, Robo Defence... After awhile of game play they all tend to lock up for about 5 seconds, then it kicks me back to the main screens with the app closed. Think this is a phone problem...

    Help Slooooow recharging - is this normal for you?

    Whether I charge it in my el-cheapo dock I got off eBay, or with the stock charger it came with, it's VERY slow. I can leave it in all evening just to go from 70% to 100%. I'd hate to see how long it would take from near zero. Are you guys/gals experiencing this?

    Has anyone else noticed text msgs coming in with time stamps in the FUTURE? I just got one at 19:35pm with a time stamp of 23:28pm. Unless my girlfriend is sending me texts from the future, the phone is screwy. And this isn't the first time it's happened. Now that text is stuck at the bottom...

    Help Full battery notification?

    Is there any way to turn OFF the beeping when charging is complete? It's most annoying for a light sleeper to be woken up in the night. .. and, why does it say UNPLUG CHARGER when it's done charging? My other phones have no problem sitting in their dock all day when not in use. Why does the...

    Help Samsung Galaxy S2 *does* work on Telus (repost)

    I'm just posting this here because I noticed the Telus forum on this site doesn't get a whole lot of use, so it might get overlooked being posted just in that forum: ------------ I just got my Samsung Galaxy S2 today (ordered off eBay, shipped yesterday from Chicago overnighted via UPS).

    Galaxy S2 on Telus / bought off eBay

    I've never made an eBay purchase larger than maybe $150 in the past, but I bit the bullet on this one. Paid $800 and change for it. Unlocked. So I'm HOPING it will work with Telus. I'm told Telus uses 850/1900 bands, and that the S2 supports it. But I read on multiple sites that it will...

    Milestone 2.1 -> 2.2 NIGHTMARE

    I finally got the Motorola update software on my PC to update my phone (before I was connecting it through the cradle with USB plugged into it, and the PC software kept saying the phone was up to date - so I tried connecting directly via phone to PC and it found the 2.2 update). WHAT A...
