Me too - I used to truly love my HTC One M8, but since updating to Lollipop (5.0.1) the battery life is making it virtually unusable. Surely somebody has the answer, or details of an update that will fix this ridiculous act of technical suicide.

Thanks - I've just installed quick pic, after doing a search for 'best gallery replacement' but it seems stoopid that I have to resort to doing this. Why can they just keep things simple?

Hi, I have an HTC One M8, which I think is a fantastic phone probably the best I've ever had. Currently up to Android 4.4.4 (sorry, I lose track of the funky names). Somewhere along the way, the built-in Gallery app got 'upgraded' (huh!) so that rather than simply letting me look at my photos...

Hi, this is a problem I've had a few times recently running android 4.1.2 on my galaxy s3. I set the alarm, make sure sound is on and the day is activated (I.e. it says alarm is due in 8 hours or so). Despite this, when the alarm becomes due, no sound is produced. Luckily my wife has spotted...

That's awesome - many thanks. There they were, gone! Seems the culprit was Tunesync - one of my (many) attempts to keep my music files in sync with iTunes. Posted via Android Central App

OK, I realise that this sounds incredibly stupid and trivial, but it is really bugging me. I have a Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7 and they both suffer from the same problem - album artwork, that is getting downloaded automatically for me, ends up in my gallery and also gets backed up to Dropbox and all...

Yes Quaiserina , it is still stable :-) It has become the phone that I always wanted, and I've learned a lot along the way, after getting responses to this and other queries that I raised on this site - e.g. I installed the Nova desktop manager. It really does feel like a pocket computer :-)...

I've finally come to the conclusion that the issue was almost certainly caused by bugs in AccuWeather. I had this installed before I did my reset/re-install and I see that the latest release say that the older version (V3.0.5.4) included bugs and caused crashes. When I did my fresh install I...

Hi Kevin, I'd be grateful if you could do that - although I appreciate it's an effort. I've taken a look but can't find any option that looks like this, which is a shame, since it's just what I wanted :) What we call sod's law, here in the uk :(

Hah! I thought I had posted this to the S3 forum - guess I'll need to learn my way around this site :)

You sir, are a genius :D I've installed Nova (Nova Prime actually), imported my old desktop settings and taken a backup to sd ram. Later on, I'll use Chrome to backup the Nova app and its settings. I also rather like Nova, so I'll probably stick with it long term. The config is a bit cryptic...

Hi Pat, Thanks for that input. It makes sense and is consistent with the fact that since doing the full reset, wiping all my old apps, and then re-installing them, the problem seems to have gone away. I did think that it had come back during the bulk re-install process, but that just might have...

Thanks for that Paul - I've now installed Carbon Backup Pro and done a backup of all my apps to my Dropbox. However, I don't see any mention of my desktop being backed up, which was my main concern. I appreciate you're not an expert with this app, but do you have any idea if it includes this...

Hi, I've just had my first experience of using Kies to backup/restore my S3. To my great disappointment, this did not include any apps, which is something I can learn to live with, since the Play Store seems to keep track of all of the apps that I've downloaded which make it fairly easy to...

Hi, I am an Android newbie, though with > 30 years experience in IT, inc. around 15 years using *nix, so not totally new to software etc. A few months back I migrated from iPhone to Galaxy S3, with Three mobile (in the UK). This had been working perfectly until a few weeks ago, when my phone...
