Why does

my music

pause

randomly?

My phone keeps pausing music

when it is playing, but it happens

randomly and usually when I am

carrying it in my hand or in my pocket.

Any ideas what could be causing this

Hi Grace. This must be

ver y annoying but there

should be a simple

solution and we’ll talk you

through a few options. First up,

My entire

iPhone on

Android?

Is there an easy way for me to

transfer every important piece

of data on my iPhone to my new

Galaxy Note? I use most of the

Google services anyway so

email and calendar entries are

covered, but I would like my text

messages, call logs and media

to be moved over as well. I’m

Hi Jean.Recently, the big

Android phone

manufacturers have

realised that it’s important for

people to keep their data when

they upgrade devices and there

are various official tools which let

you move your information in one

go without spending hours

messing about with individual

filesandsettings.Ifyouwantto

move your iPhone data to a Galax y

Note,gotobit.ly/18V3A7ito take

advantage of the Samsung Smart

Switch software which can be

used to move ever y piece of data

from an iPhone backup to your

new Galax y Note. The ser vice is

ver y complete, you will save time

usingitandhopefullyourstepby

step will be all you need to

complete the process for your

iPhone to be in your Galax y Note.

If you don’t use Gmail and want your emails scanned so Google

Now can track packages and offer insight from your

communications, set up a forward so all your emails are sent to

Gmail. It’s in the background so you can still use your email.

Did you know?

make sure it is happening truly

randomly and not just on certain

music tracks – we want to avoid

corruption in the tracks

themselves. The next thing to

check are your headphones, to

rule out the possibilit y of a

broken connection which is

causing the headphone control

to send a command to your

phone. If your phone has motion

or proximity sensors enabled,

tr y turning these off, because it

could be that you are

accidentally sending

instructions to your phone when

you don’t want to and some of

these will pause the music

immediately. There really can

be no other reasons attributable
