    Model#ep-bn910cwu how do I know when the battery is fully charged?

    Most modern batteries can be left on charge all of the time. I Googled the information you supplied: ep-bn910cwu It is shown as "Samsung-EP-BN910CWU-Galaxy-Note-4-External-Spare-Battery-Slim-Charger" Is that what you are talking about? I looked for instructions for that unit and didn't find...

    Lock screen icons are different to theme installed. How do I change them?

    Sounds like those particular icons are set outside of any theme and can't be changed. Is this really a problem, I mean, so the icons are not exactly what you want, but what difference does it make?

    How do I retrieve photos and text messages from my broken Samsung S5 to an iPhone 5S?

    Getting the screen replaced may resolve the matter. There is a company named FoxPaw in our area which has drop off boxes at grocery stores and other places. You drop the device off and they pick up and repair it - try them or some other repair shop. I can't be certain that fixing the screen...

    Disable Lock Button (HTC ONE M8)

    Take the phone to a repair shop. The switch can't be disabled and needs to be replaced. Even if I thought it wise to do so, I could not help you fix the hardware unless I was able to look at it and see just what was wrong. And, as I said, I'm not about to tell someone to do something to...

    back button and recent key not working

    Without having it in my hand so that I could look at it, I can't offer any advice except to say - take it to someone who knows how to properly repair devices such as yours. Don't undertake any type of repair (such as replacing the screen) until you know exactly what has to be done, how it has...

    Why did my tablet turn itself off?

    Nothing wrong with that. If you look at the Display settings in Android Settings, you will probably find that the default is for it to turn off the screen after so many minutes and to then go into sleep mode after some number of minutes. The idea is that if it is not being used, it is put in...

    I factory reset and it deleted my contacts - how can i get them back

    If you don't have a copy of them somewhere else, you will have to reenter them. A "factory reset" does just that - it puts the device in the same condition it was when it left the factory, before it was taken out of the box and used. Everything you had added was erased, irretrievably erased.

    Volume keys not working on lock screen

    Ahh - if the device is locked, the only thing that is going to work is the unlock function. This is an intentional design feature.

    What can I do to prevent the "SIM CARD REMOVED" notification on Samsung Galaxy S5

    When is this message displayed? Did you remove the SD card from the phone, is that what caused the message to be displayed?

    error message

    Need more information - What did you do just before the message appeared? What app where you running? First guess is that an app you are using does not support a particular security method but can't be sure unless you can tell more about what was going on when the message was displayed.
