    SII locked up, fails to reboot.

    My trusty S2 locked up today and, upon rebooting got no further than the Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 screen. Unsurprisingly an attempt to boot into safe mode fared no better. I went into the recovery menu and cleared the cache but the same. Before I try a wipe/factory reset is...

    Restarting my device seems to turn off AUTO brightness. A bit annoying when I get into the sun and can't see damn thing. Anyone know how to get it to stay on? i

    n7 charging issue?

    My 8gb n7 just arrived (uk). Unboxing is not, unfortunately, nearly as exciting as that video montage made it look. First observation: my portable Belkin charger doesn't charge it. I notice the output is rated at 2A but the Belkin at only 500mA. Another (550mA) charger *does* work though...

    Recommended docking stations?

    I'm looking for a docking station that has space for charging a spare battery, either internal speakers or audio out, and at least one usb port to either connect to my pc or charge by bluetooth headset. Amazingly I can't find anything that does all of that! What do other people use? ian

    Just bought a USB OTG host adapter. Was expecting to just plug it in, followed by a USB stick, and be able to access it, but I'm getting nothing. Do I need to do something to enable USB host mode or have I got a duff adapter? i

    Help Terrible colors on s2 screen

    Was loving my s2 until yesterday, when I loaded up some wedding photos to take to a friend. Yuk. Contrasty, over-saturated colours. Putting it in movie mode helped a bit, but as-is the phone is totally unsuitable for viewing photographs. I've had a look in the forums and get the impression...

    Background GPS logger tasks stopping

    When I run a GPS logger programs in the background they seem to stop running after a bit and I have to manually restart them. Is there something that kills off backgrounds tasks it deems unwanted? And if so, how do I stop it? i

    Bad experiences with android.

    Finally had a real use for a smartphone this summer so I picked up a second hand HTC Magic (running cyanogenmod) on ebay, a machine about the same vintage as my ipod touch. The ipod is nice, but I really don't like the closed box approach apple takes so I thought I'd try an android phone...

    Hi. Just bought a second-hand HTC Magic on ebay. It says it running Android 2.2.1 with the CyanogenMod 6.1.0-DS. The phone was originally on Vodaphone but is unlocked. It arrived however with a *lot* of personal information on it, most of which I've managed to delete, but I'm wondering...
