    Post Sorting contacts

    Samsung Honk Kong have replied stating that there is no way to sort contacts (other than by the default first name) on this model. Wow! Very basic function that has been available on smartphones (and their predecessors for more than 10 years). Can users with other variants of the S7 please...

    Post Counterfeit Samsung Batteries?

    interesting thread. I have just purchased a 4th spare battery. 2 old spares (EB-L1G6LLU, 2013..2.20, made in korea, assembled in china!) have basically died after c. 1 year. Don't like to be charged and often cause phone to re-boot when they have accepted a charge. Interestingly, the original...

    Hello. Another user with this annoying problem. On my device it only started a few months a go. Same SIM etc. I have tried hard reset, new SIM and reformat of SD card, but no fix. Seems to be a hardware deterioration? One symptom, may be the wifi and data icons no longer turn blue when...

    A major reason why I am going to buy a Defy (Plus) is because, unlike almost all smartphones, it is *designed* to be water/shock/dirt proof. So I was sort of surprised to read this thread while researching the Defy. I suppose it depends upon the usage. When I am using my smartphone on my...

    Post TomTom 7 ?

    Thanks spangelsaregreat and le poulpe for replies. As I use mine in my pocket via earplugs on my motorbike, and hence never look at the screen (and hence my interest in voice/audio features) it doesn't look like there is much more in TT7, except of course the speed warning.

    Ramakin... well that would be great because even saving having the screen dimmed during lock would help battery life. And, pressing the power button to resume would be MUCH easier than stabbing around at in the sun trying to unlock the screen. It would also make TomTom behave like all other 21C...

    Post Polaris photo quality is obscene.

    I think the point here is that the camera lens in the Polaris/TC/3650 is evidently not being utilised properly. The quality is worse than my previous 2 Mg Trinity/3600. And there seems to be a software problem when viewing pictures in 'best fit' mode on PC using various software. The actual...
