    Thinking of buying

    I'm seriously considering upgrading to the S22 Ultra. I've had my S7 Edge for more than five years and as good as it has been, it is showing its age now. Currently whenever I take a photograph on the S7 it automatically uploads to my Dropbox account. Will I still be able to do this with S22...

    S7 died in its sleep

    My brother's S7 literally died overnight. It was fine when he went to bed but when he woke up the phone was completely unresponsive except for a blue light that blinks in the top left hand corner every five seconds or so. I've tried all the combinations of button holds to no effect, and the...

    Factory reset seems to have killed it

    Just been given my brother's old Note 4 as a backup. Charged it up and it worked fine. On 02 Network in UK but no SIM in the phone. It still had all his accounts on it so I decided to do a factory reset. As soon as I hit the reset button the screen went off and the phone appears to be totally...

    Help Facebook App Problem

    Is anybody else experiencing problems with the Facebook App on the S7 Edge? When I open the app it shows me a few new posts and then gets stuck in a loop of the same few posts however much I continue scrolling. I can't find a setting within the app that might account for this. If I access...

    Help Abysmal 4G download speeds

    This post may be more relevant to O2 users in the UK, but it might be a more general problem. Basically my 4G data download speed are rubbish even when I've supposedly got full reception bars indicated. I know that this can be a network congestion issue, but it seems to be so widespread that I'm...

    Photo upload problem

    My S7 Edge has suddenly stopped automatically uploading photos from the camera to my Dropbox folder. This used to happen pretty much instantaneously whenever I took a picture as long as I was connected to wifi. However, nothing I've taken since March 27th has uploaded. I've searched through...

    Anybody else having problems claiming the fit bit offer

    I bought an S7 Edge from O2 in the UK in January. I'm now trying to claim the free Fit Bit offer that came with the phone. I provided a copy of the invoice as requested but I have now been informed that my application is on hold as I have not provided a copy of my delivery note. At no point in...

    For some reason the Spotify connect app on the my Fire TV has suddenly stopped working. The first time I used it, using my Samsung Galaxy S3, it worked perfectly and has been fine for the past two weeks.

    Help Fire TV won't go to sleep

    For some reason my newly purchased Fire TV box has stopped automatically going to sleep after 30 mins of inactivity. It did after the first time I used it, but since then just defaults to a screen saver for hours on end. It's not a huge problem, as I can manually do it via settings, but I'm a...

    Recommend a new music player

    The stock music player on my S3 has stopped working properly. It continually jumps and stutters and crashes. I actually quite liked its functionality and layout but as there doesn't seem to be any way of un installing it and reinstalling to see if that fixes the issue, can anyone recommend a...

    Amazon App eating mobile data

    The Amazon app has started eating about 4-5MB of background mobile data a day, even though I am not using the actual app at all. It's used about 62MB of my monthly allowance since July 24th and it's all background data according to my data stats. I know I can turn background data off but this is...

    Update notification

    I'm on O2 in the UK. I've just had the 4.3 update pushed to me via the network. I'm not sure that I actually want to do this update. My phone is working fine as it is and I don't want all the hassle of doing a factory reset and all the backing up and restoring that goes with it. I've got a lot...

    Spotify makes my phone vibrate

    For some reason whenever I play music via spotify, either streaming or offline mode, my phone vibrates with the bass notes. This happens when I am using the headphones so its not the speaker in the phone causing it to happen. No other playback or streaming service causes this. Any ideas as to...

    BBC iplayer on S3

    This question is for UK users. I've been downloading tv programmes from the BBC I Player to watch offline. However, for some reason I can only watch for about 20 mins before the player resets. I can pick up where I left off and so watch the entire programme . However it's a bit annoying as it...

    Dropbox issue

    Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but as I'm using an S3 I'll start here. Why can I only upload and download individual files to and from Dropbox via the app on my phone, rather than complete folders as on my PC? Is this an S3 issue, an app limitation or an Android problem. Or...

    Media scanner will not scan external SD card

    A few weeks ago the media scanner on my Galaxy S stopped recognising music files on my 16GB external sd card, meaning that these files were no longer appearing in the stock music player or Winamp. They are however available if I access them directly from the card and open them with...

    Help Music Player Crashing

    The stock music player has recently started to freeze after about an hours use. It just stops dead and and then force closes after a minute or so. Is there a way of reinstalling it to see if that fixes it. I've installed Poweramp as a possible alternative, but it's a bit haphazzard in its...

    Help Missing app shortcuts

    I've recently moved several apps to the SD card using the stock application manager. I've now discovered that if I turn the phone off, the shortcuts on my home screens to these apps disappear when I turn it back on. The apps themselves are fine, and the links can be manually restored, but...

    Help Kies thumbnails

    For some reason I am unable to view thumbnails of photos when I connect my phone to my laptop via Kies. All I get is a list view of the photos on the phone, with the thumnail option greyed out. Obviously this is a bit of a problem if I am trying to select certain pictures to transfer from my...

    Help Google navigation data consumption

    I've had a browse around the forum but posts on this issue seem to be 6 or 7 months old and I was wondering if anything has changed. Most posts seem to sugest data consumption of several megabites for journeys of any significant distance. I used Google navigation for a journey of about 1 hour...
