    OnePlus 6 / Android 9 - how do I reverse marking an app's notifications as minimise

    After upgrading to Android 9 on my OnePlus 6, I tapped "minimise" on the persistent notification for my email app AquaMail. This has resulted in all notifications from that app being group at the bottom together. How do I reverse this, and say I want them treated normally? I've tried tapping...

    Samsung J5 with 8GB of memory

    Thanks for the AppMgrIII recommendation. It's not a full solution like (I assume) rooting would give, but it's very helpful. My partner isn't all that tech savvy, so I'd be concerned that rooting her phone might open her up to some security vulnerabilities.

    Samsung J5 with 8GB of memory

    My partner was sold a Samsung J5 at her last upgrade. It's actually a decent phone, great battery life. But the phone is crippled by only having 8GB internal storage. Is there anyway to get apps to install on the SD card? Some like Facebook can be moved in the storage settings menu, but...

    Anyone in the UK got 5.1.1?

    Got it yesterday OTA, using an unlocked S6 on Three. Not noticed any difference yet, although I didn't have any issues for it to fix. So my main hope is it didn't break anything!

    Answering a call, seems to hangup/drop the call

    OMG, I think I've found it. In AVL (anti-virus) there is a call blocking option. I don't remember turning this on, however it was enabled although with no numbers listed to block. Anyway, disabling the call blocking option seems to have fixed the issue. :) :cool: :-[ Thanks again Erasat O:-)...

    Answering a call, seems to hangup/drop the call

    Erasat, thank you, I was not aware of safe mode. So I booted into that mode and I was able to answer a call :) You are correct, I am trying to avoid having to hard reset. As I've had the phone less than three weeks, it seems crazy that I'm already in this situation. With a 5.1 upgrade due, if I...

    What's your favorite car holder for Samsung Galaxy S6?

    Another vote here for the Kenu Airframe (non-plus). So simple to use. It's easy to transfer to other cars, just don't leave it behind because it's unobtrusive. Not using a case on my S6.

    Answering a call, seems to hangup/drop the call

    I've had my shiny Galaxy S6 for nearly three weeks now. I bought it SIM free. Really loving the phone, but I've noticed that when I try to answer a call, the phone hangs-up instead. I have good signal and I can ring the person back immediately. At first I thought I was hanging up with my cheek...

    Phishing text?

    This does seem odd. Giving the full exact message text might help identify the issue. A couple of things I would do are: - Check which apps have administrative access (search for admin in settings) - Install an anti-virus app from Google Play and scan everything installed

    Galaxy S5 Is Not Recognized by my new Desktop at all

    I have a similar problem, device only getting power but not recognised. In my case, it manifests when I use a USB 3 cable to connect my S5 to a USB 2 port.

    Best Galaxy S6 Edge Case Thread

    Are they any decent options for thin screen protectors? I usually use my phones without a case and just use a high quality glass screen protector.

    Using USB 3.0 cable to connect to USB 2.0 port

    Hi, it works fine with the cable I got with my phone, but I believe that cable is only a USB 2.0 because it looks like this: Whereas the new 3.0 cable looks like this:

    How do I play my music on my Samsung S5 through my car audio?

    Re: How do I play my music on my samsung s5 through my car audio In my car, I can only pair new Bluetooth devices for a few minutes after switching the ignition. If you're struggling to find it when pairing, perhaps that's the issue. I've also seen one car that had a Bluetooth visibility...

    Using USB 3.0 cable to connect to USB 2.0 port

    I'm sure the title set off a few noob alarms :D Everything I've read online says USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. I recently bought a pair of Anker micro USB 3.0 cables from Amazon UK (can't post a link). When I use these to try to connect my Samsung S5 to my computers, I get mixed...

    Bought a black S5 at bestbuy, new device? accessory color?

    I got white accessories with my blue Samsung S5. I doubt a sales rep at a large store would have any interest in trying to palm off a used device as new. There'd be nothing in it for them.
