My brand new S6 has difficulties to show its partition on Windows 8.1 explorer, I can see the S6 icon but if I click on it it says ''this folder is empty''. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes for the driver to appear! I uninstalled all HTC sync and drivers as well as changed USB port but still same problem
View 5 RepliesRunning 5.0.0.344 and I haven't found many glitches or faults in it if any. The only thing that hampers productivity is that my wi-fi takes about 2-3 minutes each time to connect regardless how close I am to the router. With the 8900, it would be literally 5 seconds for the wifi button to light up and be connected. Anyone can shed some light on this?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI got this Nokia 500XM phone and when I want to change the ringtone in the profiles it takes ages and just has the scroling bar with opening at the top. I have found a cumbersome work around and that is to take out the memory card but then that just mean I have to stick with the pre-installed ones or copy the selected mp3 file to the phone memory. Is there any way to cut down this wait when I have the memory card inserted? - I wonder if I have added all my mp3 songs to the right folder on the memory card I think I put them in the Music (E: 8gb memory) folder on the memory card I wonder if this is whats causing the problem should they be in another folder? its an 8gb card with 3404mb (3.4gb) and 325 songs or more.

Before that, the recording was sent immediately. a few seconds. Now it takes at least 10 minutes until it arrives!! This happens only in the voice recorder app.
my PC can't read it any more. When I plug it into the card reader, it is detected, but always with a message like "The disk in drive H: is not formatted. Do you want to format it now?". The card seems to work fine in the phone, all the data is available. I didn't used to have this issue before, but I wouldn't be able to tell you off hand when I last used the card via card reader.
So my first guess was that some recent firmware upgrade may have changed the filesystem on the mem card. I downloaded the ext2/3 drivers from ext2fsd.com , but that didn't help either. I haven't yet had a chance to connect the phone via USB directly and explore the card that way, but it usually takes quite long to transfer files that way. So what can I try to get Windows to read the card? Is it a filesystem issue? Has anybody seen this before?I am running Android 4.0.3 on Samsung firmware (I9100DXLPA).
when trying to open the gallery to view pictures, sometimes it just wont load. Closing it and reopening it several times sometimes does the trick, but sometimes it has to be left for a while. I find this very annoying for such a lightening fast and smooth operating phone. My SGS 1 didnt have this problem.

View 1 Replies View RelatedYesterday I bought a bricked HTC Surround because I wanted to see what I could do with it .My observation was the dreaded stuck on the HTC screen. So I researched and also had a samsung focus handy and found out a key problem we all know about the corrupt memory cards. So I download stock roms of both the focus and surround. My concern was merely on the surround ;I flashed the surround to att stock rom: i bought a torex 8 in 1 and a phillip .00 screwdrivers and opened the surround and took the memory card out and cleaned the memory card then i put the phone back together without the screws or the memory card I did the reboot reset on; the phone partitioned on its own memory: THEN the phone would not connect to Zune so I went under the computer on the start menu right clicked on then opened properties and open device manager connected the the surround to the device manager and forced it to download drivers(unknown device will come up when on device manager). Next I disconnected the phone after i had gotten the drivers on my computer (reassembled phone with memorycard and simcard in) I made sure gb was in the about phone column before i synced it to zune. The focus I used as a reference for how it would update and wp7 build. AND now the surround enjoys mango .

Also, anyway to hide the group conversation check box? I get it, we need to convert to MMS, but wish they just hid that line since its really annoying in the Messages app. I want to give it a shot before I disable the app and go to Google Messenger.
I decided to try to unlock my iPhone 3gs (was on Orange UK - moving to a monthly contract on 3) and so connected it to my PC (running Windows 7) - this is the first time I've ever connected it to this PC and the first time in probably 18 months that I've hooked it up to itunes on a PC at all (everything I've bought has just been via the phone). I started by backing up - that took a *very* long time (at least 12 hours, but I had to leave it all day and overnight so I can't be certain of the time). Then I unlocked the phone, as per instructions from Orange - that seems to have worked fine. Now, after prompting from itunes, I'm attempting an upgrade to iOS 5.1 (I think I was on iOS 4) - this is after transferring all my paid content to itunes. It says that it's backing up - it's been going for about 2 hours now, and it's about 5% of the way through, judging by the progress bar. Is this really going to take me as long as it looks like? Why do I need another backup if I've just carried one out? Can I cancel this (by clicking 'Stop') without bricking my phone?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been having problems with my touch screen. It will have lots of times when it doesn't register touch, like when I'm typing, scrolling, or when trying to pull down the quick settings/notification bar, it takes several tries. Also, when I set the phone flat it won't hardly register any touch at all.
I have tried the following to try and resolve it:
- complete factory reset
- changed launchers and keyboards
- making sure screen is clean/fingers aren't cold etc
- changing the long press settings for the phone

Is there something i am doing wrong or setting that got changed?
With the latest mm but also with the beta when I send a whatsapp message it doesn't send immediately but takes up to 30 -40 seconds. This happens only on the first one because if I send other messages after that they are sent immediately.
I'm sure it's not a connection issue since telegram works like a charm.
I got the galaxy s6 edge about 2 weeks ago, and noticed that when I tried to take pictures with my front camera the pictures look very weird. Like everything is too bright and my face looks like i have a ton of make up on or i have been airbrushed or something. It is just very weird. I have tried turning the beauty setting to zero and turning HDR off. Still has not fixed the problem.
The back camera does not have this issue, it takes nice pictures. Also, my s4 front camera did not do this, it was a very good front camera. So i feel like the s6 front camera is a downgrade, what happened?

I'm trying to connect my s6 with my tablet pc with windows 8.1.
A few infos
- tested 2 cables
- restarted both devices
- re installed kies, driver and smart switch
- USB Debugging on and off
PC doesn't show any galaxy s6. Every other device is working fine....
I installed everything I can think of and my laptop wont recognize my s6 after upgrading to WIN10. Kies v3, check. smart switch, check. Reinstall drivers using smart switch, check. When I plug in the USB cable it charges, but nothing happens on the screen. Cant transfer files or tether.
View 4 Replies View RelatedDid something happen with the way you transfer files on the new S6? I finally got the wife to switch from iPhone, and when she plugs in the phone to her computer, it just charges. It doesn't show in "My Computer" like every other android device I've ever used. Sometimes I'd have to drag down the notifications and select file transfer, or MTP, or something similar. This phone doesn't do any of that. It just charges, very frustrating.
I tried a different cable. Still, the phone just says its charging.
I even figured I'd go to settings, storage, but the menu option in there for "USB Computer Connection" is missing too. Its like the core functionality for usb file transfer is just gone.
What am I missing? Has it been this way for a while and I just never knew because I've been nexus for so long? I don't think thats it. Surely something is wrong and I'm just overlooking it.
For what its worth, it didn't work on my Mac either using the Android File Transfer program. That just says No Android Device Found.
I have been having a problem for the longest time now. My s6 refuses to connect to any pc. My first laptop had windows 7 on it and the s6 would successfully connect to it. That laptop is no more and i upgraded to a new one with win 10 installed on it. This laptop along with 2 others windows 7 completely refuses to connect to my phone. I think i have tried every "solution" but nothing works. My phone is rooted with a custom rom and the fast charge also refuses to work. I need to be able to connect to windows so i can reinstall the original firmware for a warranty exchange. Yes, i have all sumsung drivers installed, i have the original cable (and more), i tried smart switch, it still doesn't work.
