Hands free also means you re using the car Bluetooth while driving. I managed to get a better solution to my problem. In Google Maps I turned off the option to talk through Bluetooth, so the directions come through the phone's own speaker. Media still plays through Bluetooth, and the media...

I have this on my GT-I9506 I didn't notice because it walked my settings over from kitkat and I had no need to change them. Then I did a factory reset and it lost the settings and there seems to be no way to put them in now. I too am regretting lollipop

I've experimented some more. It does play nav over bluetooth as long as I'm not playing music at the same time. If I turn off the music it works just fine through the car speakers (my car doesn't have a built in nav system either BTW). With the music on it lowers the music volume to the nav can...

Re: Samsung Galaxy S4 back button and options button not working(no lights) I had this on my S4 today. My phone is not in a case, does not have a screen cover. I fixed it by: taking the back off (not sure if that's necessary, but it might have let it dry out, not that it had got wet but you...

SVoice works pretty well for me, I've scoured the other posts here and I see people are finding all kinds of problems I don't seem to have. Although I might be more forgiving on the wake-up issues than others. But here's one that does bother me. If I start SVoice on the phone and tell it to set...

Since the Lollipop update Google Maps doesn't talk to me in the car, but it does outside the car. Specifically it doesn't talk when it is connected to the car's bluetooth. I'm driving along with the navigator function on and playing music. When I come to a turn the nav wants to tell me about it...

I didn't spot your reply earlier. US only? Oh, well, maybe I should move...:)

Is there some setting on Gallery I can't see that would show me the captions I added to the EXIF data on my images? I'm moving png files from my laptop using USB and putting them into /mnt/sd/pictures. The images show up just fine but I was hoping to see captions somewhere. Gallery's...

I've been using Alkido because it was preinstalled. I tried Kindle but something did not feel right. I'd like to try the Nook but when I look in the marketplace I don't see it. Is this an 'outside the US' thing? Because I am. Or am I just doing something wrong? Alkido seems fine though. I...

If it is any help (and it probably isn't, actually) I found my Galaxy S slipped very neatly into a marsupio I already had. Marsupio = front pouch, think Kangaroo, you may have a different word for it. Anyway, there's a fat pocket in front and a narrow one behind and the phone is slim enough to...

Hi all. The site looks interesting. I can see I'm going to spend some time here. I've been lusting after an Android phone for months but I wanted to see how long Samsung would take to release Froyo on a Galaxy S. Well, they did and I've bought one. Cool machine. Tons of things to find out. This...
