I haven't seen a Samsung from the flip-phones onwards that didn't do weird, unnecessary sh1t or just outright breakdown. I bought an 'early smartphone' a few years ago and saw that nothing had improved in that regard, never again.

I would have thought that Samsung would have resolved those issues by now?

I've seen far too many freezes and full-on bricking of other people's Samsungs recently to suggest otherwise... Even chargers that stopped working after a few months, and not being able to charge via USB in some cases. Even my Sony isn't that arsey lol. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

My old Sony which is more than 8 years old never had that sort of problem. My iPhone has needed a reset a couple of times but other than that has been pretty reliable. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

my s2, s3 and current s4 never have had those probkemd.. thank god [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] Though I did think my charging port had died [LOUDLY CRYING FACE] though on closer inspection a piece of fluff was lodged in there so a careful use of tweezers fixed it . _________________Finally joined Flickr

Poweramp, winamp, apollo, mx player, VLC Does it regardless of player, music location, rooted/unrooted, airplane mode. Out of ideas as to what will stop it, it's out of warranty anyway (even if I could ask a favour from a Samsung rep) and others have the issue. _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

I have managed to keep 16Gb free on my 64Gb iPhone. I have hundreds of apps but am only trying those that need right now.

5GB seems to be about par for a decently optimised smartphone/tablet OS these days. Scarey when you think you used to be able to get an entire desktop PC OS with GUI into a fraction of that.

Remember when Bill Gates said that you would never need more than 640 k for programs? _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21
