Hi I had further problems with battery drain but it still lasted 2 days. In the end I backed up & did a factory reset & software update then reinstalled everything. A pain but seemed to work. I did disable Google play Music as it kept appearing in active apps though I'd not touched it. I also...

Re: Problem downloading music onto S5 mini Thanks did that & it worked using a free tag editor. It wasn't totally automatic though so I had to check each track was aligned with the correct one from the database & the correct album art was applied. Biggest problem was choosing the genres, far to...

Re: Galaxy S5 Mini : Incoming call unlocks home screen Hi Don't know why yours does that. Mine just comes up with a screen with the green & red symbols which you swipe to accept of reject. when this is done the screen which reappears on mine is the lock screen. I use the fingerprint lock & have...

Problem downloading music onto S5 mini Hi when I first got my S5 mini I moved all my files from my old Nokia E90 using the samsung transfer programme. This was fine with my previous music all correctly noted by Album, Artist etc though looking at the SD Card they are all just individual tracks...

Hi Had the phone back for two weeks now. They said they updated the software (its now Android 4.4.2 though I thought that's what it was when I got it). I've used it without any additional software for 2 weeks and had no problems. Amazingly Google Play Music doesn't activate continuously like it...

Thanks for the reply. Have now sent it back to Samsung for repair. On the day the repair envelope arrived from Samsung, after an hour in my pocket I found the phone dead. it wasn't like before with Samsung on the screen with the notification light pulsing, it semed dad. I thought it was strange...

Hi No I disabled the Google Play Music I think it was. Even though I closed it with the back button it just kept restarting. I don't use Google music or anything web based. I have 149 CD's on my SD card which is enough for anyone and use the Samsung Music app. I've unmounted the SD card &...
