    Phone started getting hot spot on device

    The patch appears to be where the SIM/memory card is, and it gets very hot to the touch. It has happened when the phone is idle and does not appear to happen when I am doing something to access that area (e.g. playing movies or making calls). It's hot enough to go through to the glass/screen...

    More then 2 lock screen effects for Galaxy S4?

    I would like to know if there are any more than the two default lock screen effects - being "light" and "water". I've tried Google, but I only get hits on how to customise the screen with widgets and/or layout. I'm not sure if "lock screen effect" is the correct term either, so I may be going...

    USB connection keeps dropping

    My phone is around 3 months old, and over the past few days I've noticed that it keeps dropping the USB connection. I'll hear the installed/uninstalled tones in Windows go on for about 5 times (but it seems to show it being there in Windows explorer). I'm suspecting maybe a faulty USB port on...

    Looking for a replacement for WinAmp

    It's sad to see Winamp closing, as it used to be one of the best players (for the PC imo; the android version just doesn't seem to have the same quality). My version has pretty much bitten the dust, and I've found it doesn't really have the flexibility and useability that either the PC version...

    Extremely unhappy with Galaxy S4...

    Is the phone not under warranty? I am of the understanding that it comes with a 1-year warranty - and this is for manufacturing defects in the device. I'm not sure what the consumer laws are in the US, but in Australia, if a product is not "fit for purpose", then it must be repaired or replaced...

    Unable to transfer iTunes Library to phone

    I have recently got a Samsung S4 after being an Apple person. I went straight to Winamp as I use it at home on my PC and love it, and want to keep it consistent. I am able to import my iTunes library into Winamp on my pc without issue. It is when I go to copy it onto my phone that I have...

    How do I disable Google Now?

    Re: How to disable Google Now I'll be sure to take a screenshot next time it pops up. As I said, it appears to be random, I can't think of a common trigger for it at this stage. Thanks for your assistance.

    How do I disable Google Now?

    Re: How to disable Google Now Why I don't want to use Google Now is that I am extremely leery of apps that force themselves to be installed while I'm trying to get into the swing of things. Especially when I'm doing something like shuffling music and all of a sudden the screen goes white and...

    How do I disable Google Now?

    How to disable Google Now I've recently switched from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy 4. While there are a few issues in adjusting, one major annoyance I am finding is something called 'Google Now' popping up wanting setup. Frankly I'm sick of this doing so and want it to go away, but I don't...
