I would very much appreciate any thoughts anyone has on tackling the following: OK, so if you have lock screen switched off, your device goes straight in, with no unlock or swipe screen whatsover. All good. If, as I do, you use "trusted devices", this theoretically bypasses the lock screen and...

Can anyone please tell me how to stop the watch from ever showing any calendar entries? I've selected "Calendar", "Calendar Storage", and also the third party app I use, "DigyCal", under "Block Apps" in the Android Wear app, yet still calendar entries pop up on my watch. (I also don't want...

I'm on Marshmallow and use SmartLock, so under the right conditions no unlock is required. However, at switch on there is nevertheless always still a screen to be swiped away (clock and emergency contact). Does anyone know a way of eliminating that stage, so that switch on goes directly to the...

Does anyone know an app that will provide a widget on the phone's desktop, that shows the battery status of a paired smartwatch? It seems such an obvious thing, and yet I can't find one anywhere. Many thanks.

Does anyone know an app that will provide a desktop widget showing the battery status of a paired Androidwear Smartwatch? It seems such an obvious thing, and yet I can't find one anywhere. Many thanks.

Could somebody please remind me what it is I have to do to enable drag-and-drop N6 to PC connection over USB? I've got USB debugging switched on under Developer Options, but I know there's another tick or setting somewhere that I need to do first, and can't remember what it is! At the moment...

Does anyone know a way to prevent the pull-down notifications from automatically coming down every time I switch on my phone? It's driving me mad! Perhaps there's a setting I've missed? (I'm on Marshmallow, on a Nexus 6) Thanks.

I still haven't received the OTA and Marshmallow update, and am starting to wonder if something is wrong with my device. I'm in England, my N6 is unlocked, my SIM is "3". Is anyone else here still waiting for Marshmallow? Or can anyone offer any advice, please?

I live in the UK and am making a trip to Canada/US next week. If I were to purchase an HTC One Max over the counter from either Canada or the US, could I bring it home and use it in the UK, or is the telephony different?

I've been posting in the Galaxy Mega forum regarding Bluetooth troubles, and I've finally got to the bottom of the issue. Bluetooth won't connect to my car (Volvo) if it's already connected to my Sony Smartwatch2. One or the other is fine, but not both at once. Does anyone know a way around...

Can anyone please tell me; is it possible to change and try out different Bluetooth - I don't know what the word is - "Stacks"/ "Kernels"/"software" - in order to try to fix a Bluetooth problem, before resorting to flashing a completely new ROM? Thanks.

I'm having Bluetooth connectivity issues, specifically with my car (Volvo XC60, Bluetooth 04.23_R). For the last 2 or 3 weeks I've been using MegaFireMj2V6. Bluetooth was fine with other devices but the car wouldn't connect, always bringing up the "Unfortunately Bluetooth Share has stopped"...

I'm using and enjoying the excellent MegaFireMj2V6 on my Galaxy Mega 6.3, but I've come up against a problem with Bluetooth. I'm unable to connect my car to the phone. Connection begins but I then get the "Unfortunately Bluetooth Share has stopped" error. I have a Smartwatch which connects...

I'm new to flashing and still need my hand held! I flashed my Mega 6.3 to Cyanagenmod 11 a couple of weeks ago but have now decided I'd like to return to a Samsung factory ROM. Can anyone please point me in the direction of a step-by-step guide or tutorial for doing this? Thanks.

I've been running CyanogenMod 11 for about a month now. I like it a lot, however there are instabilities. Youtube cannot play videos at all, for example; Snapchat totally fails to work; and one or two apps I've tried to install wouldn't even open. Occasionally a program will crash with a...

Does anyone know of an issue with Snapchat and Cyanogenmod 11? I've recently flashed for the first time, I'm happily using cm11, but Snapchat hardly works at all. I've tried the alternative "Snapsave". But with both apps it might work once or twice, but then either doesn't receive snaps at all...

I'm running Cyanogenmod 11 on my Mega 6.3. The attached pic shows YouTube while playing a video. Can anyone please suggest what is happening here, and a fix? Other videos in other apps play just fine. Possibly also relevant; a couple of apps that need to play mp3 or wav files, at the point of...

Is there no way of deleting messages on here? My problem has now been solved, therefore I wanted to get rid of the thread, but can't. Sorry all! :)

I have a Galaxy mega 6.3, rooted for access, but still running stock. I can't get into recovery. What ever method I try the phone simply reboots (a normal reboot, back into full operation). Can anyone offer any help, please? I'm not very experienced with flashing and ROMS, all I want to do is a...

Does anyone know a cheat, fix or app that allows Google search to be permanently active and listening for the "OK Google" command, regardless of whatever else is open or foremost on screen? "OK Google" is a phenomenon, but it's a shame that it only works after bringing Google Search or Google...

I'm very keen to purchase a Jawbone UP24 fitness tracker, but I understand that it's not supported by the Mega 6.3 and that people have had difficulty getting the devices to talk to each other. Can anyone shed any light on this, does anyone know a fix or workaround? Cheers.

I've been following instructions to install Android 4.4 KitKat on Galaxy Mega 6.3 via Cyanogenmod 11. My device has been rooted for some time, but I have never before installed any ROMs. I have successfully (it seems) installed Clockworkmod via Odin, yet when I boot into Custom recovery mod...

I'm quickly building up a huge number of emails and messages that I've dealt with on my phone but then have to manually delete from the watch. I appreciate that one can clear all data from each notification type, using Smart Connect on the phone, but I'd love to find an app or a command that...

Can anyone help with an infuriating text problem? When I start to type in any notepad app, although the cursor moves (sometimes to the right, often down a line or two or three first and then to the right) no text appears on screen. However, when I then exit the keyboard, the text miraculously...

My Galaxy Note has developed an infuriating fault which only happens in notepad apps, which is: I touch the screenand the QWERTY keyboard appears. All good. But when I start to type, although the cursor moves (sometimes to the right, more often down a line or two or three first and then to the...

I've installed "SayIt" app launcher which is a remarkably accurate and excellent voice-activated app launcher. However, there are certain app names that it dosen't recognise, for instance "K-9 Mail"; however I pronounce that it always opens Gmail, if I freeze Gmail and then try, it says "no...

I'm looking for a keyboard which supports both full line selection when highlighting and also uses Google voice recogniser? Otherwise I'm looking for a fix to tweak "Sywpe" so that it will use Google voice recogniser. Let me explain: My preferred keyboard is "Swype" because it's the only...

Can anyone help me to find a keyboard which supports both full line selection when highlighting and also uses Google voice recogniser? Let me explain: My preferred keyboard is "Swype" because it's the only keyboard I've ever been able to find on which, when highlighting/selecting text, it's...

My Note is about two months old, currently running 4.0.3, Build IML74K.XXLQ2, rooted (simple root access, still running out-of-the-box ROM). It wants to install an update, but this continually fails. I'm presuming this is because it's rooted, yes? Is there a fix, please? "Backup, factory reset...

A bluetooth car connection feed-back problem, can anyone offer any help, please? Bluetooth does work, in both directions, however my own voice feedbacks extremely loudly through the speakers, and the voice of the second party comes through only very quietly. This renders conversation almost...

I'm in England. Does anyone know where I can get hold of a Mugen extended battery (specifically the 5400 for the Galaxy Note)? The only supplier in the country that I know of is Mobile Fun, and they're currently out of stock. I know that I could order from either Mugen themselves or American...

Does anyone know a fix to get rid of the blue "tab"-like marker that appears under the cursor when using Swype keyboard on ICS? I've tried to learn to like it but it simply gets in my way, hold up my work and irritates me and I'd love to see the back of it!

I have a new Galaxy Note running ICS, successfully rooted and with Titanium Backup installed. TB opens fine and appears to be in order, but I have no "Batch" command. I've read support pages and watched YouTube videos; the option simply isn't in the menu as it should be. Can anyone offer any...

Is there any way that I can go back to the look of Messaging from Android 2.2.2? I've just moved into my Note (running ICS 4.0.3) from my trusty old Dell Streak, and am very disappointed to find that messaging uses the common speech bubble layout, which I hate. 2.2.2. on the Dell presented...

If I want the screen permanently in portrait mode I can switch off "Auto rotate screen". But how can I achieve permanent landscape mode? (I'm on ICS) Many thanks.

Would anyone happen to know if a Note with a Mugen extended battery fitted will still fit into the Brodit car holder? To my astonishment I can`t find anywhere the dimensions of the Note when it has the Mugen battery and cover fitted.

I'm buying a new, unlocked Galaxy Note next week and want to root it straight out of the box. I'm not a power user and almost the sole reason for wanting to root is simply to remove unwanted bloatware and to run the odd root-only app. Can anyone recommend the ROM best for my needs? Primary use...

Apologies; posted before realising a similar thread already exists. Don't know how to delete this thread completely, so have just removed the question.

To my surprise I'm having trouble finding a list of all available phones with 5"+ screens. I own a Dell Streak and want to move to something else, however I absolutely do not want a smaller screen. Can anyone help?

Can anyone please help me with where to find Superboot files for Build 15609? (O2 Streak in the UK)

I freely admit that I'm a Newbie when it comes to rooting; this post is to ask if anyone can please recommend a good source of reading matter to help me get started rooting my Streak?

My Streak has developed a serious problem; 90% of the time when I make a call I cannot be heard by the recipient. When I receive calls all is well; communication works in both directions. But whenever I instigate the call I can hear the second party clearly, but they cannot hear me. Is this a...

For reasons I cannot fathom I cannot set text alert sound for Voicemail. I can set, as I should be able to, sounds of my choice for any number (I happen to use "Ringo pro" because I like the app), however, I simply cannot find any way of having and audible alert when texted by voicemail (901...

When I make a call and hold the phone to my ear, the screen switches off as it should. However, when taking the phone away from my ear again the screen does not return, and I have to use the on/off switch to bring it back to life. This is very inconvenient during calls if I need to access the...

I've recently been in Morocco with my Streak, where I had no phone reception at all. I contacted my provider (O2 in the UK) who told me that I should be getting a network, my account is fine. However I had no network until the plane touced down back in the UK. This also happened to me last year...
