    Help AllShare - exclude folders?

    AllShare works really well between my Note and my Samsung TV. But Samsung have fallen into the same trap that all manufacturers seem to fall into lately - and that is assuming we want every app to scan and include ALL our videos/photos/music and to not give us the choice to say either where we...

    Words With Friends - ad-free RIP OFF

    There's a recent update to Words With Friends which allows you to buy "coins" and use these to (among other things) remove the adverts. Seems that the developers are ripping us off though - the ad-free version for iPhone is

    When paid apps vanish?

    Been using Better Cut for ages (allows me to change the icons on apps - things like K-9 Mail HAVE to have their icons changed!) but just today I updated the firmware on my SGS2 and have noticed that Better Cut is no longer available. Can't find it through my phone, through the web version of the...

    Help Browser Home Button?

    I am sure I must be missing something, but my Galaxy S2 is now my fourth Android phone, and I've still not found how to quickly get to my homepage in the browser. Eg...I have google.co.uk as my homepage. I search something, click a link, the another and another. Now I'm finished and want to get...

    Best thing about SGS2 owners....

    ....is that we've resisted the urge to start a "Your Galaxy S2 Screen" thread. So far.

    Dropbox doesn't "sync"....alternatives?

    I have Dropbox on three desktop PC's in the house and everything syncs great. I have Dropbox on my Android handset and it allows me to download but that's all. I assumed that they would implement syncing but it seems like a forgotten priority for them going by their forums. So - any...

    Help No sense to memory "thing"

    Couple of days into ownership of a SGS2 and although I consider myself to be pretty confident in using PCs and phones, I am struggling to get my head around the memory/storage setup on this thing. As I understand it, I have 16GB, of which a section is split off to be (let's call it) SYSTEM -...

    On order from Chitter Chatter (UK)

    My upgrade was due on the 17th (yesterday) but on Monday I visited the T-Mobile (UK) store and was told that the SGS2 wasn't yet available and wouldn't be for some week as it was being "tested" (read - loaded with T-Mobile guff). So I got in touch with Chitter Chatter and they processed my...

    Scrabble: Main difference between WordWise and WordFued...

    ...is that people who play WordFued are rude. I can only get to play ever few hours and NEVER have I had an issue with a WW player. I am ALWAYS getting nasty messages from WF players to hurry up or resign.

    Help Froyo and STILL can't view addresses?

    Have 2.2 now on my Desire (with HTC Sense if that makes any difference) and I am amazed that when I open a contact to get their postal address (to write on an envelope), I STILL can't view it. I can see the house number, street and some of the town, but can't see the postcode. I can click it...

    Getting Right Fed Up With Android/Google

    Got to admit, much as I am loving my Desire, Android simply IS NOT READY for the average Joe. My son has a T-Mobile pulse and for the second time, his Gmail, contacts and calendar stopped syncing. No reason, just stopped. Search and found "solution" of clearing some data in the Application...

    Only person NOT using widgets?

    Having seen so many people posting images of their homescreens, I have come to the conclusion that I must be the only person to hardly use widgets! I have two - Calendar Pad (1x1) which shows me todays date and when I click it it takes me direct to my week view, and the Power Bar to turn off...

    AppBrain and Spam App Numbers.

    Just noticed this today, that AppBrain are filtering out what they deem to be spam apps on the Market. They have a page about it (AppBrain blog: AppBrain launches automatic filtering of "spam" apps) but what I found very interesting was: ----quote---- - We analyzed all 28,936 apps created by...

    Identifying Battery Use

    My battery is lasting me about six hours at best, though granted I am probable quite a heavy user. Thing is, I can see that my handset is never going to sleep (uptime currently 20:09:50, awake time 20:09:50) and I wonder how to go about identifying which application I have that is possibly...

    Issues with 3rd party apps and NON-Google contacts?

    I don't know if anyone else can replicate any of these issues, but I am seeing serious issues with third party apps and contacts that are NOT syncing with Google. I use HTC Sync to sync my contacts and my calendar to Outlook and I don't sync anything with Google. This means all my calendar is...

    Touchpad....is it just me?

    Been a week now with my Desire and I simply can't get used to the optical trackpad. Don't do a lot of browsing, but do a lot of texting, emailing and tweeting and I used to use my Hero trackball to move around text fields to correct mistakes. I find that the trackpad is so unsensitive that it...

    Non-Google Sync'd Items Invisible To Apps?

    I have now seen a related problem on two third party apps....neither seem to be able to "see" contact information stored as "phone" contacts. My set-up: T-Mobile HTC Desire, using HTC Sync to sync contacts and calendar with Outlook on the desktop. Due to the limited functionality of the...

    BetterCut / AnyCut and Phone Contacts

    Not sure if this is a Desire problem, an HTC Sense problem or a Better/AnyCut problem but has anyone been able to make a direct icon to call or text a phone contact with either App? I don't sync contacts or calendar to Google but use HTC Sync to sync with my desktop Outlook. It all works...

    Hero (T-Mobile G2) WITHOUT sim card?

    I have been sent an HTC Desire as a replacement for a G2/Hero from T-Mobile due to the 3G/Missed Calls/Texts issues. Strange thing is that T-Mobile have told me that they don't want the G2 sent back, but that it will be "blacklisted" in seven days. I guess that this means no sim card will...

    Any good slideshow apps?

    Anyone know of a good slideshow app that will play all the images in a directory and optionally in all sub-directories? I have lots of family photos and often want to run a slideshow for granny, etc. I don't want all these images clogging up my default Albums app so I have named the directory...

    Gallery Alternative

    I'm sure it's been asked before but are there any good alternatives to the default Gallery/Albums app? I have a T-Mobile G2 (HTC Hero) on 1.5 at the moment and the Albums app is such a frustration. I really can't see why the developers didn't figure out a way of navigating a tree structure...

    Multi-Tasking....not really?

    Apparently my T-Mobile G2 (HTC Hero) multi-tasks. Why is it then, that I might be playing a game (say Puzzle Attack) and I get a new email notification. I slide down the notification bar, click the email notification, read the notification, go back to Puzzle Attack and it takes me to the main...

    Funambol on 2.x?

    I have tried, really tried, to use Google's Calendar and Contacts but I just can't get on with the limited features and the constant messing up of my reminders. I used to use Funambol on my Blackberry to sync my desktop (Outlook) to my.funambol.com and then to my Blackberry and notice that they...

    Caller ID Not Working

    T-Mobile G2/HTC Hero - I have a couple of contacts in my address book (notably 0800 numbers) where the caller ID doesn't show when they call, just the phone number. Anyone have this problem and/or found a solution to it? Seems to affect just a few - no problem with the vast majority of my...
