    How do I boot up a tablet to see the screen when the screen brightness is turned down

    Do it in a dark closet, or wait till late in the evening when it's dark and turn it on and raise the brightness to a level that can be seen in bright conditions.

    Stopping the S4 (i9505) from lowering screen brightness at 5% battery?

    Thank you! Actually there are more (Newer apps) that this provider wrote... just search for screendim at the playstore and the first item's first page gives three other apps that do the same thing. I just chose to DL the screendim (free) Root version and it does all that I want (so Far)...

    Backup of apps on s3

    Why? you really won't need it unless you're rooted and want to have all the apps reloaded in one fell swoop. If that's the case you can use titanium backup to backup all the apps and you can restore it to the new phone if you copy the backup file to the new phone, and install titanium backup...

    My contacts with assigned ringtones have reverted back to the default ringtone

    First what you need to do is a factory reset. It is probably the most drastic thing you can do with a stock phone, but you will end up with a phone that is like you got it out of the box! Remember to copy out or backup all your music, and pictures, mms, sms etc. so that you do not lose them...

    please help - assistive light on Samsung galaxy s3 quit working

    Then I suggest a factory restore and see if the camera's flash or the assistive light works. If they still do not work, you need to have the phone repaired/replaced, depending on your warranty status. Good Luck! Aloha

    Totally Frustrated! Can't find fully functioning replacement Headphones
