    Some incoming message go to HTC MESSAGES not Google Hangouts.

    My M8 is causing me issues with messages I recieve from one person. For everyone else, messages go to Hangouts, but a friend with an S5 causes me this problem: If he sends me an SMS it goes to Hangouts. I then reply and if he replies to that it switches on his phone to CHAT in his S5 Messaging...

    Don't buy Spigen SGP Crumena Leather View Pouch

    I just bought a Spigen SGP Crumena Leather View Pouch. Apart from being far more bulky than the SENA Ultraslim pouch that I've been used to with my S2 & S3, it was okay. I really like(d) the viewing window (S-View function). But...the first time I put it in the back pocket of my jeans for an...

    I've got Daydream set to bring up the Beautiful Widget when docked. However, the screen is really dim/dark as soon as the widget activates. It isn't dark for the other options.

    Help How do you stop the S4 trying to "check-in"?

    Something is making my S4 try to check me in everywhere I go. It's not Facebook and I don't use any other social media. I think it's the Google location, but not sure. I do have location allowed for Google Now, etc.... is it that? Ideally, just need to know what/where box to uncheck to turn...

    Root [International] Which ROM do you suggest for stock Android

    I'm interested in moving to a custom ROM to give a stock android feel (like my Nexus 7). Has anyone ported the Nexus 4 ROM across, or is there a better option? I usually go to XDA for this sort of thing, but can seem to find what I'm looking on this occasion (probably because I'm looking for...

    I bought the UK Vodafone S3 because it was the "latest & greatest", I'd had the previous S2 and had loved it. I also have a Samsung TV and loved Dual View. Then Dual View functionality was taken away. I've spoken to Samsung multiple times and really I don't think they are even planning on...

    4.2 lock screen problem

    My N7 just updated to 4.2. I also have email synced with work so there's a pin lock code. I thought this meant I couldn't change the lock screen... swiping any which way does nothing. Pin code just unlocks. Then this morning the machine acted weird for a bit and now below the lockscreen...

    UPdated to JB on Vodafone today (Used Kies, worked fine). However, ADW has crashed twice...er, make that 3 times :-) Screens stay angled as if you are viewing them side-on not from the front, so some animation is freezing. Anyone else seen this, or had problems with any other launchers? (In...

    ADW v Nova - pro's & con's?

    I use ADW as my launcher (the paid version). It works fine, etc etc. I saw Nova was in the app sale for 25p, so figured I'd buy it and ask questions later! So, what are the relative strengths & weaknesses of Nova? Anything it does that ADW does not do? Thanks!

    Olympic Backplate thicker than normal backplate.

    Anyone noticed that the Olympic backplate (I have the dark Union flag one) makes the phone noticeably thicker than the standard backplate? Just thought I'd mention it. Compared two phones side by side and it was obvious.

    I use ADW Launcher on my S3. My friend just bought an S3 and has hardly changed the layout at all. When we were comparing the two I realised that I cannot find the original clock widget that comes on the home screen. See attached. What is it called...or is there a reason why I've no longer...
