Exactly - I agree entirely. I had exactly the same problem. There was no way to get rid of it! I have just done a factory reset of my phone - the problem is temporarily fixed. I stress "temporarily" because my phone has hardware faults (for example, my Vodafone widget won't refresh...

Precisely why I remain on Windows 7 - Windows 10 does NOT come with all the drivers you need and your computer manufacturer probably hasn't got them either. Posted via the Android Central App

Hi all. This is a copy & paste by me from the Vodafone forums w.r.t. trying to update the YouTube app through Google Play Store. I spent several hours on this problem. "I just wasted a whole bunch of time going through trouble-shooting steps with Google Play Store. NONE OF THEM WORK. The...

Hi. I was randomly checking some settings on my phone to make sure everything was in good order when I noticed that under 'Settings', in the 'Storage' section, 'Miscellaneous files' was taking up a whopping 13 GB of space on my phone! :-o Outraged, I immediately clicked on 'Miscellaneous...

Hey Crashdamage - that site is a scam. Samsung have NOT released updated drivers in a long time. Don't bother about that stupid site - it will try to rip you off $30 for drivers that won't work. 😠 Posted via the Android Central App

I despise Outlook. I use Google Calendar on my S6 and it syncs beautifully with my laptop calendar. Posted via the Android Central App

The bottom line is that beyond Windows 7, depending on your brand of computer, your S6 might not be recognised by your computer. And please note - Samsung will NOT be able to help - they do NOT have updated drivers (I'm sick to death of people claiming that they do). 😠 If your S6 isn't...

Kies is useless, obsolete, and you'll just be wasting your time with it. Posted via the Android Central App

Re: S6 Gallery Videos Won't Play You're relying on Gallery?! No wonder you've run into problems. Hop on to Google Play Store and install Video Player Perfect (HD) and you'll find life will be much easier. ☺ Posted via the Android Central App

How many times do I have to repeat myself on these forums? WINDOWS 10 IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE S6 (at least not with Samsung computers which is darkly ironic). Trying work-arounds like Smart Switch and Kies won't work. You are wasting your time. Read USAFRetired's post on this forum - he hit...

What is so good about Marshmallow!? Surely only the S7 will be different enough to be a noticeable improvement? Posted via the Android Central App

I killed the TouchWiz app on my Samsung Galaxy S6 4G and it ruined my phone! 😨 After being sent for repairs in Sydney, Vodafone decided it was beyond repair, and so today I got a brand new S6 phone. ☺ Posted via the Android Central App

Oops! :-o Well I had never seen TouchWiz pop up before and since it had gone rogue I was forced to terminate it with extreme prejudice! :p Posted via the Android Central App

Hi. I was happily using my Samsung Galaxy S6 4G the other day when suddenly this system app called TouchWiz popped up. I noticed that it had already removed all my app icons from my various swipe screens. Outraged at this rogue app, I did a forced stop/disabled it. But things got worse. My...

I just spoke with a representative from Samsung. He confirmed that Samsung Australia has not yet released the necessary drivers for upgrading Samsung laptops currently running Windows 7. He was unable to give a time frame for when it will be possible to upgrade to Windows 10. I won't be holding...
