    [Guide] Rebooting into Recovery Mode for the Galaxy S2, S3, and Tab2.

    I tried doing this because it felt like my battery was draining much quicker than before after an update (that was the advice given here, and it seemed like it might be applicable). It said "Erasing" before coming up with an "Error" message and then rebooting into normal use mode. It still feels...

    Unhappy with firmware update

    In regards to the battery, I meant that it drains fast with respect to how it was before. I've always used a live background, and I don't usually have the screen that bright. In fact, I'd say I use it less than I did in the past. Just sitting unused with the screen off for a few hours is having...

    Hey everyone! I'm new to both the forum and Android! I bought a Galaxy tablet this past July to take abroad with me in lieu of a phone and a laptop, and I absolutely loved having the device so much that, if I ever get a smartphone I'll probably look into an Android. My tablet hasn't seen much...

    Unhappy with firmware update

    I bought my Galaxy tablet in July and I absolutely loved it. After a few weeks I got a notice of a firmware update, which I only just installed today. I absolutely hate it. Samsung made some pretty drastic changes to the skin. The notifications is now white and takes up the whole screen when you...
