Using Redmi Note 7 Global version, 4G+64G, MIUI 10.3.2.0. VoLTE I entered *#*#86583#*#* and dialler confirms that VoLTE carrier check is disabled (test page 4636 also shows VoLTE provisioning is ON). On different phones using same SIM, same location, I see "HD" icon confirming "HD calling", or...

Can someone tell me what filename I have to use for an album art photo to appear in the music player screen? I've tried the usual suspects, i.e. AlbumArt.jpg and folder.jpg but neither seem to work. Perhaps I'm missing something. Thanks!

The recent update to Google search seems to have introduced some new bugs. My I9300 is set to UK locale, yet after the update, a voice request "what is the weather in Portsmouth" spoke the answer in Fahrenheit and an American female voice instead of the previous Celcius and a UK voice. I don't...

Eagerly awaiting JB update for my unlocked, stock I9300 (UK BTU). Trying to do things "by the book" and using KIES to check for updates. Yesterday KIES announced that it needed to do some kind of update related to firmware... Now, whenever I try to connect it reports "failed to retrieve device...

I remember reading about Carrier IQ some time ago; it sounded fairly undesirable as a potential security risk and generally a waste of network bandwidth. Does anyone know if it is present in the GS3 in any of the official ROMs? I'm guessing that a generic non-operator specific ROM (e.g. BTU)...

Just loaded my first Matroska (.MKV) format video on the SD card. To my surprise, the stock video player displayed prominent subtitles! Now, that's all very clever, but how can I turn them OFF ?! Thanks for ideas...

KIES appears to load 2 or 3 processes at Windows startup, even though I've told it NOT to (by un-checking the "have the components reside in memory when the operating system starts..." preferences box etc) I always like to minimise memory-resident clutter and I don't need to use KIES often. I...

We are all familiar with the inconvenient rigmarole of having to "disconnect" a USB memory device before removing it, otherwise there is a risk of data corruption etc... Am I correct in assuming that because the Galaxy S3 doesn't connect to the PC as a USB mass storage device, then there is no...

I want to sync only a limited number of my music folders and videos from my Windows standard "My Music" and "My Videos" folders to the SG3. I see that Kies has created folders of it's own like "video" and "music" within "My Documents/samsung/kies". Am I right in assuming that Kies only syncs...

Sorry if this sounds a bit dumb, but is there a quick way to skip directly to the internet browser homepage (apart from creating a new window in the menu)? I was expecting an icon to do it somewhere. On my old HTC phone there was a menu command to do this directly. Thanks

This seems to be a regular stupid problem in Android phones. I had to change my SIM card to get a micro-sim for the GS3. Now, my existing number is working again with the micro SIM, but the number apparently isn't actually STORED in the SIM card itself. So, as far as the phone status is...

There appears to be a new version of HTC Sync available to download from HTC web site (or you might be notified automatically if you already have an older version installed.) I'm hoping that this might fix some of the bugs with existing versions, especially it re-organising contact names in...

OK, this is really bugging me. (and yes, I know that there are similar topics elsewhere but none of them actually seem to help me resolve the problem) Until recently, my weather application would automatically and correctly identify and show my nearest TOWN as the "current location". This also...

When I updated my DS to the previous flash version (10.3), the Adobe web site reported I was still on version 10.1 (despite re-install etc). I'm wondering if anyone has tried the new version 11 recently released on Android Market. Does it make any improvements ? Thanks, Steve.

This is one of the phone settings in my DS. Can anyone explain exactly what it means ? I know the basics of roamiing but this one is beyond me. A google search on that phrase reveals nothing ;-( - Thanks !

Hi Folks, I just updated Flash player to version 10.3 from android marketplace. It apparently "updated" on my DS without issue, and indeed if I check app settings it seems to confirm version 10.3 as expected. BUT if I use the supplied browser to check on the Adobe web page, it tells me that I...

Every time I use HTC Sync on my DS, a window briefly pops up telling me there is an error on my removable drive, and do I want to "scan and fix" it? I know that this message does occur if a removable drive is unplugged from windows without going through the "safe removal" procedure (so volume...

I was rather disappointed in the GPS performance of my shiny new Desire S... It was so erratic, I loaded GPS Test app to check out the signal-to-noise ratio. Then, just out of curiosity I took the aftermarket outer case that I had bought (rubber+plastic) off. The GPS signal increased...

According to http://www.mobilespeedtest.com, the HSDPA connection on my 'HD scored a speed of 512Mb/sec. Now, I know that Orange UK make a lot of wild promises, but I suspect a mistake here... Anyone got anything sensible out of this online speed tester, or can recommend one that works ? - Steve

Orange UK offer an off-peak internet access plan for £5/month for up to 1GB. The "small print" appears to prohibit access to many services such as instant messaging (e.g. Skype and MSN) as well as VOIP etc. Does anyone know how rigidly they inforce this policy? Can one "get away" with very...

I've been keeping my Touch HD carefully covered while waiting delivery of a screen protector. When I came to apply the screen protector, I was horrified to discover that the top touch layer of the display seems to be separating from the glossy black bezel underneath in places :eek: Note that the...

I've got an appointment set up in Outlook on the PC for 7pm-11:30pm this evening. When I synchronised, the home screen on the HD says "Tomorrow 19:00 - 23:30" instead of "Today" :confused: If I tap the appointment on the home screen to enter the calendar program, it correctly shows under today's...

I believe that this also affects other HTC models, but I'm puzzled by it: If I go to the communications menu and switch off the phone receiver, the GPS also seems to stop receiving. Enabling Bluetooth seems to bring it back to life, but enabling WiFi doesn't. I don't always want to have the...

I've read reports of several people receiving their Touch HD with dead or stuck pixels. Perhaps new owners would be kind enough to post the following information : - Do you have any dead or stuck pixels, if so, how many (please post even if the answer is "none", to get a realistic view. - How...

Hi Folks, The phone "officially" registered on my contract with Orange UK is an old 2G one for it has a 2G SIM. I'm looking to get a Touch HD which will need a 3G SIM. Unfortunately, I'm told that Orange won't just give out shiny new 3G SIMs. The obvious way to wheedle a 3G SIM out of Orange...
