    Help Problem on my S3 - sometimes home button stops working

    My Galaxy S3 seems to have developed a bit of an issue. Once or twice a day, when I take the phone out of my pocket and press the home button, the screen doesn't activate. The device appears potentially functional (i.e. blue notification light flashing) but nether the home or power buttons do...

    Best Panoramic Photo App

    What would our assembled experts recommend for a good Panoramic photo app at the moment? The panoramic function built into my S3 is nice but produces very low resolution photos and small files.

    UK users: ITV Player now updated for Jelly Bean

    They've made it available to Samsung devices only for now. I've just given it a quick test: - It works and streams video well enough - It looks pretty but isn't terribly intuitive - Good luck working out how to exit it should you try it ;).

    Configure what device can do Per WiFi Connection?

    Hi, I have an Nexus 7 and and a Galaxy S3. I have a problem. Sometimes, I tether the Nexus to my Galaxy during my commute (using the personal hotspot facility). Normally, this eats little more of my data allowance than just using the Galaxy instead. However, to the Nexus, this is just...

    Help Suddenly, I have a loose screen.....

    I'm not too worried about it at the moment as I bought the devies from Currys PC World along with an extended warranty. But what happens next? Does it become progressively looser? Will it fall off? I'm just trying to work out if I need to be panicing (yet).

    An hour with the Kindle HD.......

    My alter ego on a travel forum (same user name, the one I use everywhere), wrote this review of the Kindle Fire HD earlier today. I own a Nexus 7 and an iPad 2 myself. I bought my sister a Fire HD for her birthday and she bought it round over the weekend. I had a play and I mostly like it...

    Decent (UK) Weather App For My S3

    The Accuweather widget isn't cutting it. It doesn't automatically update my location from GPS. The Met Office app is ok but its widget has performance issues and makes the transition from screen to screen (occasionally) juddery. Is there anything better out there? Oh, and I'm also an iOS...

    Help Syncing all my contacts back to Google?

    I'm having an interesting problem with my S3. I have contacts from more than one source on it and so have multiple entries for the same person in many instances. I know this can be dealt with on the phone itself but I'd really like is one universal contact book (i.e. Google) that syncs with my...

    Help I don't get on with the S3's keyboard. What alternatives have you tried?

    I'm really not enjoying the S3's keyboard and much prefer the one that came with my 3GS. However, I understand there are alternatives and Swiftkey is often recommended. Is anyone happily using this on their S3? Also, is there any way to get the vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich keyboard onto the...

    Help Moving downloaded apps to SD card?

    On my spare Wildfire S, I have an option to move applications to the SD card (which, on the Wildfire S is vital). I'm having difficulty finding a similar option on the flavour of ICS that comes with the Galaxy S3. Since some of my applications are also on the Wildfire's SD card, I know...

    Help Install Micro SD, S3 goes into application update frenzy?

    I switched the phone off, installed the Micro SD card and switched the phone back on. It automatically started updating all my applications and it's taking some time. Are the two related (are my applications automatically being copied over)?
