I keep getting this "unfortunately has crashed" message randomly. It keeps popping up even when I have no apps open. Idk what is causing this. Do I need to restore my phone? Here is a picture of the screen: https://postimg.org/image/4t7q0nw4v/

This may sound like a lame question, but I've always wondered. When there's an update to an app, does it delete the old app completely and replace it with a completely new version or does it just update the existing installation?

I have bought a new 16 GB SanDisk SD card for my Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000, Android 2.3.6). Using my computer, I uploaded my music and some pictures. Then, I first mounted the SD card to my Samsung tablet and copied the music files to it, because it has enough free space. After copying was...

While not a complete overhaul, Samsung has added a cool new feature to the Galaxy S7 that isn't available in other devices. If you need to charge your device with a standard charger, and not a fast-charger, there's a setting that will allow you to easily turn off fast-charging. This will help...

This is like deja vu. :( When I started using my i9000 5 or 6 years ago I had problems along with many others connecting to my PC. There is a long thread here detailing all of the problems encountered. Fast forward to a couple of days ago when I decided to try Omni 5.1 and Omni 6.0 ROMS on my...

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. For years I was a very active Facebook surfer. One day I made a comment on a "Mom's Demand Action" Anti-Gun group post saying that I had thought their "ISIS Brothers must be proud of their relentless efforts to disarm the country." The next day I was banished from...

Afternoon: I've posted this same question in Android forums without getting an answer. So, it's possible I should be posting it here. I have a GalaxyS 1 (first gen) that is TV(DMB) and FM capable. I just can't seem to find how to activate the FM radio. Been all over seeking the answer. I...

Well, hope I've found the forum that can help. I have the Korean Gal S also and would like to know how to “turn on” the FM radio? I've been all over the net and too many forums without an answer.

Hi, I have a Galaxy S I9000 running on Cyanogenmod 10.1.2. Recently, I tried to change some settings in an audio configuration file (/etc/audio_policy.conf), because I read in a tutorial on the Internet that I could improve my bluetooth audio quality this way. I didn't notice any change...

I am terribly upset with Verizon, I did a FDR and reinstalled most of my apps to prevent 5.0 from installing. Well, before all of the apps could be restored again, 5.0 upgrade rammed it thru and it rebooted and did its' POS business. Fortunately I saw it about to happen and shut it off and...

Hi All My first post on these forums. Looks like a nice and friendly place :) Anyways, my first introduction to rooting/flashing was when I rooted my Nexus (2012 wifi) to Cyanogenmod 11. This was done because I was getting increasingly frustrated and fed up with the massive and epic lags. The...

Hi Does anyone have any idea why the "apps" folder in my storage takes up around 8GB, when the apps inside the folder does not even add up to 2GB? I am having problems downloading and updating because of this, and I simply cannot delete any more apps for space... Help!

Can it be done? If so, how does one do it on the i9000? TIA
