Good morning all. I had to replace my trusty old Samsung S2 with a Galaxy Ace 2 after the former went swimming. I have got everything up and running (more or less) on the new phone but gmail is giving me a headache. I have two gmail accounts on the new phone, one of which is our main home...

I'll try an app of some sort. I just can't figure out why it worked last time but not this time. Any other ideas anyone?

What I mean this. When I put a CD in the CD drive on the Mac, a little CD widget appears in the top right of the home screen. When I connected the S2 to the Mac the first time, a widget called Samsung, or 'media device' or something appeared in the same place. I just dragged and dropped files...

Hi everyone. I want to transfer some iTunes music files over to my Galaxy S2. I've done this before but can't figure what I did to make it happen again. I'm pretty sure that last time I did this I just connected the Galaxy to the iMac using a regular USB cable which then showed up on the...

If it's just the browsing history on your phone you want to delete, go to Google, click bottom left for menu>history>clear browsing data. I'm not sure what this this does to the browsing history on your PC. However, to check or delete your Google browsing history on your PC (and therefore check...

Good morning all. I am backing up/transferring my camera photos to a memory stick for safe keeping. Looking on Applications>Gallery on the S2, I see the following four groups of photos.All are held on the phone memory. 1.Camera - These are the pictures currently on the camera - ie. go to...

Thanks for the replies but I have looked through all the folders on the phone itself using the 'my files' app and can't find a folder with anything called 'mnt' or 'strorage' or anything like that that. What are the path to get here from the basic home screen? Thanks

Good morning all. I have copied several video files from my PC over to my Galaxy S2 using Windows click and drag. I have copied these files to the card 'video' folder rather than phone video folder. I can play the videos fine by using the Video Player app which came with the phone. However, I...

I'll give all of these a go. While we're here, I have bought some music from Google Play. It hasn't appeared anywhere - not on the regular Android 'music' app, Google's 'Play Music' app, not anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find it? Thanks (I can't believe android struggles so much with...

Thanks for the tip but you'll have to help me out here. What's tagging and do I download media monkey onto my S2 or PC? Thanks

I'm sure that this has been done to death in the past on this forum but here goes anyway... I have imported a ton of music from my Blackberry to my Samsung S2 using Windows and by dragging and dropping the music folders straight from the computer hard drive onto the Galaxy SD card. So far so...

Thanks. That's great. Phil

Good morning. My battle with Gmail continues. Does anyone know how to forward a Gmail message received on a Samsung S2 to a different email address? It's driving me nuts. Thanks. Phil

Thanks! That worked just fine so as you say the email is working . There must be a sending or filter issue somewhere. Will start looking down that route. Once again, cant thank you enough. It was driving me crazy.

I have gone into settings/accounts on both accounts. There is a line accross the top saying 'accounts and synch' with a green button 'On'. I can't find a specific box that says 'auto synch'. Going into settings for the problem account 'synch Gmail' and 'Synch internet' are both checked green...
