    Galaxy S iii mini Caller ID display

    It's in your configurations of phone app, but if caller does not send their caller ID, you can't change that, obviously. Hm come to think of it - I think you can only change whether YOU send YOUR caller ID or not- please check @configuration of phone app Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SIII mini...

    Seeing double: texts are showing twice

    Hm. Normally, to prevent media files from showing up in galleries, you'd add a ".noMedia"- file to the folder. But that probably won't work here. The only other solution I can come up with is hiding the backup folder on SD (rename backup folder "Folder" to ".Folder"). That might work. But you...

    Good fix to Internal storage reporting problems..?

    As far as I know still the same- if you're referring to the gigantic thumbnail file in DCIM folder..? 1. For reasons yet unknown to me, thumbnail files keep growing over time, accumulating total Gb's of all photos. If deleted, they will simply regenerate. They're typically named...

    Google Play Running in Background Draining Battery

    It's not updating 24/7: When you open and close App #1 - Android keeps process of App #1 in cache Open and close App #2 - Android keeps process of App #2 in cache Open App #1? Android has the process in cache, saved time there. It's actually a bit more complicated. Please read...

    S3 mini drop test?

    I'd say that it depends on so many different factors- dropping height, where it lands upon, etc. I threw mine against the wall a couple of times (don't ask) and it's still alive- no major damage, just the casing slightly scratched. A protective case seems like a very good idea. That, and try not...

    thumbnails folder problem

    As far as I know the thumbnails do not take up user space: they are internally stored on the phone's (internal) SD. If you delete the thumbnails, new ones will be generated next time you open a photo browser/ gallery. PLEASE NOTE If you're referring to a strange, unlikely huge thumbnail file...

    samsung galaxy 3 mininot recognized by kies

    Make sure you have the right Kies installed, since there are 2 different versions, but you're phone will only be compatible with one version Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SIII mini (GT-I8190) - via Android Central App

    video's

    On Google Play you can search "video converter" - install one and convert the video, i.e. "girlfriend.mp4" to "girlfriend.avi" - whatever format works on your phone. Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SIII mini (GT-I8190) - via Android Central App

    S3 mini internal storage not functioning properly

    Hi, When you recalculate, do you use the binary values? If you use the decimal values, the total amount of free space would not add up, of course. 1 GB = 1024^3 bytes (1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte). Whispering Wempe 'swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SIII mini (GT-I8190)' - via Android Central App

    S3 mini internal storage not functioning properly

    Hi Is it perhaps possible that it is related to the different definitions of one gigabyte? I.e. the binary definition: 1 gigabyte equals 1024^3 bytes (1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte). However, the decimal value of one gigabyte is 1000^3 bytes. When you calculate your free space using the decimal...

    I've lost the Text Messages icon on my Samsung galaxy s3 mini

    Hi! If you open messages and then open configuration, there should be a section "spam", probably somewhere at the bottom. You'll probably find a possibility to opt for "general spam", a standard spam filter, but also you can choose to block messages from specific people. And if you want, you can...
