    Swype on Note 9 entering only special characters for certain words.

    Having an issue where my Note 9 is randomly swyping in special characters rather than words, as if I've long-pressed a key and then tried to make a word. It's not always, and often once I've gotten the special behavior on a word, it will repeat the same behavior as I repeatedly try to swype in...

    Pictures not showing up in Gallery *solved*

    This was a problem for me after the Oreo update. I could see all the photos for my phone, but not for the SD card. I applied a lite version of the first suggestion. Under Settings/Apps/Gallery (there is no ALL), I selected Storage, then Clear Cache. This did the trick, and now Gallery sees...

    Why do Gmail mails open automatically over my other apps?

    I -want- to be notified. I just don't want the mails opening by themselves. Pretty sure that part's not supposed to happen.

    Why do Gmail mails open automatically over my other apps?

    Dano1200r do you mean that Facebook is causing that? How? And is there a setting? Thanks! Mark

    Why do Gmail mails open automatically over my other apps?

    I asked this specifically on the Note 8 forum... Sometimes (a couple of times a day), I will be using any of a number of apps, usually YouTube, Photoshop, GoSMS, FB, etc., and during a transition of some kind, Gmail will open and display a mail. This never happens with a personal mail, but...

    Weird Gmail behavior?

    I thought that, too, but I went and checked my inbox on the Gmail site, both ads in the named example were legitimate (if you can call them that) ads that were pulled from Gmail, as they are both now marked read. These are the messages. I've never captured a popped-up email in screenshot...

    Weird Gmail behavior?

    Anybody have gmail pop to the foreground showing an ad you just received? This has happened a number of times to me while using other apps. I was convinced I was just fat fingering something, but I'm not so certain anymore. For instance... I'm using GoSMS and suddenly, up pops my Gmail open...

    what is the best glass protector to use with the Galaxy note 8

    I get the impression that this one has the edge-only adhesive (hence bubble-free). The air gap is a problem for me in the way that the phone looks, at a minimum. Was this one full adhesive, or edge only? mjc
