    this happened when the URL changed

    Hey guys, Last night I looked at my phone (which had been on charge for a while) and noticed that it was on the first S3 boot screen. So I assumed it had crashed and got stuck whilst rebooting, so I held the power button to reset it. Problem is, it came back to the same screen, except this...

    Tapatalk not subscribing to threads properly.

    Is anyone else having trouble with tapaalk and subscriptions recently?
