Installed the latest HTC one update, now the fm radio crashes every 5 mins. Yea fm radio, don't hate.

Its always good to do a factory reset after each major Android update, at the very least, you can try clearing data for the trouble app

Got another i9100, installing some ROMs and was constantly getting errors. Ended up trying to install from internal SD and everything was smooth sailing.

Kit Kat on this runs really well though.

Galaxy S5 Gets Priced Throughout Europe, Not Your Average Priced Android Phone



Much like Sony’s Xperia Z2 that recently went up for pre-order in the UK, it looks like Samsung’s Galaxy S5 isn’t going to be cheap, either. Then again, for a smartphone that has an improved camera, a heart rate sensor and more inside of it, it’s hardly surprising it’s going for a pretty penny. We know that the Galaxy S5 is launching some time in April, but we haven’t had much word on how much the device will cost, until now. Samsung’s Galaxy S5 has gone on sale in a number of European countries and with that comes some idea of how much it’s going to cost.

The Galaxy S5 is now up for pre-order in Sweden, Russia and the Czech Republic. In Sweden, the off-contract price comes out at SEK 6,400 which (at the time of writing) works out at $995 US, which is a lot. Meanwhile in Russia, things don’t seem quite so bad, at least from a conversion standpoint, anyway. Off-contract in Russia, the Galaxy S5 will cost RUB 30,000 which is roughly $830, a considerable dip from the Swedish pricing, but these are just conversions remember. In the Czech Republic, Samsung’s latest and greatest is to cost CZK 19,000 which comes out at $950.

It’s well worth rememebering that these are conversions from existing prices, so these prices will look different when official US pricing is announced. It’s strange to see the Galaxy S5 quite so expensive, but Samsung has always charged what many believe to be a premium for their hardware. Besides, the Galaxy S5 is filled with technology, despite the fact that it has disappointed some. With a month left to go before the device launches worldwide, it’ll be interesting to see how much of a response Samsung gets at launch. It might seem disappointing to owners of the Galaxy S4, but those on a two-year contract with a Galaxy S III or similar device will find this a considerable upgrade.

Free ones too in case I can't find the apk

normally i would use Google Goggles for a quick scan / copy text to clipboard

never really needed / tried an OCR app.


edit: use goggles a lot before purchasing strange stuff locally

I haven't searched the thread...

Any of you guys have problems receiving email notifications on an S4? Particularly with a Yahoo account. I have to keep manually checking to see if I have new mail which is annoying...

[dragaholic]

Hi guys,

I have an S3 mini thats having a problem. Battery is full or almost full. When using any app the phone will restart by itself. When it comes back on it shows 3% batt. then it will continue to restart itself until its drained. If i plug in the charger it shows the previous battery life 80 - 100%. I thought it was the battery but when I swapped mines into another friends mini its not discharging. I put his battery in my mini and the phone works fine. What you guys think the problem might be?

[sonygoup]

Battery? But try a backup n factory reset

Okay did a factory re-set. Works a lil better but while on an app last night it had 60% life and it re-booted again. Gonna try and get a new battery by the weekend. Any recommendations where to go and get one at a good price?
