    Thread Desktop stand charger

    I looked at all the desktop stand/chargers for my LG G Watch R and didn't really like the look of any of them. They were all too expensive or involved the expense of a 3D printer, which I don't have. I used to work in a jewellers and remembered the display stands we used so I found this display...

    Thread What is wrong with my battery?

    9 hours to charge and then discharge in less than an hour? Other times it will charge in an hour and discharge even quicker. Tab is rooted and I've tried clearing battery stats and the fully charge, off for an hour, discharge to 50% and off for five hours with no consistent results. Sometimes...

    Thread Removing Three Network boot logo

    I've searched on this but can't find anything. I have a Three network Galaxy SIII that has been network unlocked and works on my O2 account. The only annoying thing is the Three network logo (in black on a white background) that runs at boot and closedown. I found this thread that describes how...

    Thread [Q] What's in Touchwiz?

    It may seem a stupid question but, since the news that Samsung won't be releasing ICS for the SGS I've been pondering my alternatives. I would imagine a port of Nexus S ICS would work on the SGS' given their similar hardware specs but, of course, you would lose TW; Samsung's reason for not...

    Thread What is Samsung Push Utility?

    Lately I've noticed an app called Samsung Push Utility is using an awful lot of my battery. Last night it was top of the list at 42%. It is listed as Installed on Device (Default) so presumably part of the base build. Anyone have any idea what this is and what it does?

    Thread [Q] Help! Settings keep changing.

    Lately my SGS running Froyo 2.2.1 has started acting strangely. There is an annoying bug I've noticed and I wondered if anyone else had noticed it or found a fix. In Wi-Fi settings I've set the time out to 14 seconds, using OCLF, then I set Wi-Fi sleep policy to "Never when plugged in". I've...

    Thread How do I reset helper Apps?

    When you click on a link within an application you are often asked which application you wish to complete that action, with a tick box to opt in to always using your chosen application to complete that action. Where do these settings live? Can you reset them individually?

    Thread [Q] Is there a new update in the wings

    I'm currently on JPY and, until yesterday the OTA could not connect to the server and Kies showed, "This device has the latest version". Yesterday the OTA server was obviously fired into life, albeit it gave a "no update available" message and Kies started reported, "This devices versione...

    Thread Facebook and Twitter Widgets problemette.

    One small thing that really bugs me is the way the Twitter and Facebook Widgets resize themselves. After a reboot they are a neat and manageable small size as in the first picture. After an indeterminate period of time they transmogrify into the hideous and bloated size as seen in the second...

    Thread Stale TTS Library

    This morning I fired up the new Google Translate app and it informed me that I was running a "stale text to speech library that was superseded and may cause problems with apps that use it". It then offered me the option of installing TTS Library Extended, which I did. So far the only thing I've...

    Thread rSAP not working after Android 2.2 (Froyo) upgrade.?

    I'm starting a new thread on this because I think it is important and to gather together findings on this. From early reports it seems that rSAP is not working for some people after upgrading to Froyo. rSAP is not part of any Android build but is built in to the Galaxy S by Samsung, which is...
