    Post Gear Live Charging cradle broke watch

    My charging dock broke a few days ago. I spoke to Samsung and they forwarded me to Intercity-UK (who manage their repairs and replacement parts). I could have sent it in for warranty replacement, but I'd have had to be without my watch for around a week. Instead I was able to buy a new one from...

    Post [Q] While in Europe: Moto X won't reconnect to cell data, post-WiFi use

    Just to chime in, I've also seen this issue on mine, but it only happens with certain WiFi access points. After using the Cisco ones at work the problem occurs, but my Asus N66U doesn't seem to upset it.

    Thread [Q] Charging Issues

    I've been having issues with my new Xperia Z not charging at all from any charger whilst it is under any kind of load. This includes browsing the web with Chrome, or more importantly, using GPS and Google Maps. I've tried many chargers, both car and wall ones, official and 3rd party, which work...

    Post [APP][2.1+] Floating Music Controls

    Is there any chance you could add an option to show and hide buttons, and have them larger when certain ones are hidden. Possibly have a layout more like the attached. The options menu could be moved to a notification with no icon, which, when tapped could open the options in a menu. This would...

    Post [Q] Possible Touchscreen/Multi-Touch issue?

    I've posted a comment on it for you. I've noticed that all touches are recognised correctly when they actually hit the screen, then about a second later (feels like the same delay each time) they all vanish. This behaviour can be seen in games, a multi-touch visualiser or with the on screen...

    Have a look in /etc/sound/ for a file called "m0". In there, find this line: <device name="headphone"> in this section, look for this line: <ctl name="Headphone Volume" val="XX" /> Increase the XX value to something around 60 (no higher than 63 if I recall) and it'll make your headphone...

    I'm really interested to see if we can use this on other networks. I think it's silly that the technology is there for all to enjoy, but some company has decided better... Do you know if it allows you to use any cards, or is it just barclaycards?

    I don't use any kind of lock screen, I just find it slows me down when I want to do something quickly. That's most likely why you won't be seeing the problem though, the lock screen prevents you from going home until you've unlocked.
