    S7 camera lens spontaneously cracked

    I searched and couldn't find a thread, strangely, as it seems it's not just me with this issue https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/GalaxyS/thread-id/12286/highlight/true/page/2 Samsung support wouldn't fix it under warranty and I was told to post a letter(!)...

    Rant

    I'm not really enjoying this phone. Issues: The only keyboard that I really like is the stock one, which worked just fine on my m7, but doesn't work on the m9 - it's laggy, inaccurate (despite calibration): I end up type 'O am here' all the time which is infuriating; also it reverts to...

    Trace keyboard (stock)

    Hi I don't know if this is model-specific or just an Android thing but I'll try asking here: recently (maybe always? I'm not sure - the phone is new) trace keyboard doesn't work when googling via the search widget, and entering my instagram credentials. It's like it's disabled, though keyboard...

    Do you wear a wristwatch?

    Hi On my watch forum we wondered what percentage of normal people wear watches so I was wondering whether you wouldn't mind voting in my poll.

    Help unable to use flash because your battery level is too low

    Hi I tried to use my flashlight with 20% battery AND mains power (it's plugged in and charging now) but I got this error message. I googled it and there are only 2 results - other forum posts with no resolution. Any ideas if/how this can be overridden? It's annoying. Thanks

    Froyo 2.2 problems (Vodafone)

    I'm vodafone branded and have had Froyo for a few weeks now and it's very sluggish - particularly texting with handcent sms (which I've reinstalled to be sure). When receiving one in standby the screen lights up (as it always does when you get a text) but it then takes literally 10 seconds...

    LED light Torch App preinstalled in Vodafone 2.2 froyo release

    That's the highlight for me of this update. That and speedier operating, that is. Apologies to the unbranded crew but you've got this to look forward to soon enough. VF Branded have had it hard re late firmware updates in the past so nice to get it first. Any questions re the release?

    Accessories replacement headphones

    The headphones that come with the Legend are rubbish - the buds are so big they barely fit in my (admittedly small) ears. Most uncomfortably. Recently the 'play/pause/next song' buttons have stopped working - they don't control the music any more and the microphone is broken so no one can hear...

    Help Notification area swipedown not working

    Hi I had reception issues on my Legend so vodafone sent me a new (well, pre-owned/refurbished) one today. I haven't had it long enough to test the reception issues but I am unable to bring the notification area at the top of the screen down by swiping my finger. I can click...

    Help Legend - SERIOUS issues

    Howdy I've had my legend for about 3 months now I think and I've been reasonably happy with the web browsing, the accurate screen and keyboard, the camera, compass etc but where the phone seems to fail massively is in being a phone - like making calls and sending texts: The reception is...

    uses for optical trackpad?

    Hi The only time I use the trackpad is to navigate between letters when editing text in messages/email (although to be honest it took me a month to realise that's the best way to do it - previously I was using the touchsreen which, whilst generally accurate, is tricky between letters :D). And...

    hidden apps

    Hi I know that google market blocks protected apps from non-authorised devices like the legend and I've done lots of searching in this forum and other sites but could someone please reiterate: any timeframe for this to be sorted? Or what's the best workaround? Is there a site we can download...
