    Gallery problem or Touch Wiz Issue???

    Up until this point my phone has been working pretty well. However, for the past month or so I'm having no end of trouble working with my photo gallery. I am using the gallery that came installed in my SPH-L720. First, when I wanted to delete a photo, the gallery would allow me to bring up...

    Help.....micro SD card becomes BLANK

    Thanks for that. I used a different adapter and the removable storage is now visible as drive G. I cannot browse the files or auto play because the pc wants me to format the disk, which will erase everything. How'm I doin?

    Help.....micro SD card becomes BLANK

    Well Wizzrah, and first of all I thank you for replying, I am pretty unschooled about the way I might go about plugging the card into my pc. I have what is supposed to be a device for that purpose, but the card is too small for any of the ports. When I put the card back into my phone, and...
