    Single string paste at any time?

    Thanks for that. Security isn't an issue, it's just an access code needed on a website, nothing sensitive. The keyboard idea is a great one, but I have a problem there in that it took me much heartache and a great deal of time to finally settle on TouchPal (for reasons I won't go into here!), so...

    Single string paste at any time?

    Does anyone know of app that would allow me to keep a single string available at all times, so that with a key combination I can paste it whenever I want? I don't want a password manager or a bells-and-whistles clipboard app, I just want one single password available to paste whenever I need to...

    Smart disable of volume keys ... ?

    I hate volume rocker keys! I'm always inadvertently pressing them. I've discovered an app called "RingGuard" which is great; any change in volume has to be confirmed within a set time or else it's ignored. Unfortunately I can't use the app because I used timed profiles (with "Phoneweaver")...

    Repeated pasting of the same string

    I visit a website that requires the same password to be typed in often, so I'm looking for an app that will allow me to use a keyboard shortcut or other method of pasting the same string quickly each time I need it. Security isn't an issue, it doesn't have to be safe in that respect, I just want...

    How to disable volume buttons?

    Does anyone know of a way of completely disabling the physical volume up/volume down buttons (specifically on an SG Mega 6.3)? I never, ever use them, other than to put the volume backup having accidentally depressed volume down! If there's any kind of app or tweak that will disable them that...

    3rd-party apps don't see my contacts ...?

    Good point, thanks. I guess it might also be because I'm now running on 4.2.2. I have noticed that in the case of both apps, while they don't jump to contacts when I start typing a name, they can read and access Contacts if I manually select with the "+" button. So I have a good workaround (or...

    3rd-party apps don't see my contacts ...?

    I've just moved into as SG Mega. I'm very pleased, great phone, but have a problem with contacts. All my contacts have safely come down from Google and appear to all be there and fine, however my third-party apps aren't seeing them. If I start a text message in "Messaging", it reads the contacts...

    How safe are UK Amazon sellers?

    Thanks anony_mouse, I do agree with what you say, and I've also been advised that Amazon's own delivery estimate changes very frequently, so I think I'll hang on until I can buy directly from them, which I don't think should be too long a wait - safest all round. Cheers, Aidan

    How safe are UK Amazon sellers?

    A question for UK forum members, please: I want to buy a new Galaxy Mega 6.3. I just went onto Amazon to do the deed, but found that their estimated delivery is 1-4 months!! My question therefore is whether people would advise me to purchase from, or not, or have their own purchase experience...

    Active car holder for Galaxy Mega

    I've just had one of the fastest email responses to any company I've ever contacted! iBolt has just confirmed that it is indeed compatible with the Mega, both physically and electronically. However, I must confess that having looked at it in more detail it's not too elegant. You have to hold the...

    Active car holder for Galaxy Mega

    That looks like a good possibility, many thanks. I'll have to get in touch with them and ask about whether it works with the Mega; I have a feeling that the power connector for the Mega is different from that for the Note1/note2. But if it does fit, and I can't find a dedicated Mega dock, this...

    Active car holder for Galaxy Mega

    Does anyone know where I can purchase an active car holder for the Galaxy Mega 6.3? I'm a big fan of Brodit, and used their first class active holders for my last two phones (the Note1 and Dell Streak). Unfortunately they inform me that they're not going to be making one for the Galaxy Mega, so...

    Hide weather in Google Now?

    Problem solved. The option is under ""Show Sample cards". Not an intuitive place to find settings, I would say, but I'm sorted. I hope this may help anyone else with the same problem.

    Stopping weather from appearing in Google Now.

    Many thanks. In fact that option doesn't exist for me, however; getting more and more frustrated I did eventually find what I'm looking for under ""Show Sample cards". Not an intuitive place to find settings, I would say, but at least it's problem solved. Cheers.

    Stopping weather from appearing in Google Now.

    Can anyone tell me how to stop Google Now from displaying weather? I use another weather app and don't need the weather repeated on my Google Now widget, but more importantly I want to down-size the widget (which I can, I use Apex), but I need to get rid of weather in order that the smaller-size...
